Hiimuitruci' Is Survly I Imli--uiiiu Now. The Populists ol the Ninth Congres sional district held their convention here yesterday. It was livelier than would have been expected of a convention of its size, and furnished an opportunity for the clearing of what to some seemed a mystery as to the ideutity of Win. Bum garner, who was said to be the chairman of the Congressional committee. Incident ally it gave Mr. liumgarner opportunity to state publicly that be intended to have bis C itizen stopped. It was nearly 4 o'clock when I'ruf. G, W. Hahn ot Haywood called the bodv to order and inquired if Mr. Yancey, who was elected chairman two years ago, was in the honse. There was no answer in the affirmative and the Professor asked Rev. John Amnions of Madison to take the chair, which the reverend gen tleman did after a short speech of thanks for the honor. Prof. Huht was made secretary. A motion was made that after the appointment of a committee of three on credentials the bodv should ad journ until 5 o'clock in order to give Chairman Yancey, who was expected on the train from the cast, time to get tip town. This prevailed and the committee was made up of C. L. Jervis of Madison, A. I) K.Wallace of Xutlicrlord and A.M. Parker of Jackson. lii'iul.v For Iliiniiit'K. The delegates went into caucus at the Western hotel, and it was 0:10 when they reassembled for work. Commit teeman Vt allacc read the report of the corammittcc on credentials, which showed the following delegates present from the counties named : Buncombe, Jas. N. Morgan, Samuel Archer, W. 1.. Henry; Haywood, G W. Hahn, A. 1J. Ward, Eli l-crguon; Hen derson, J. W. Freeman; Inckson, A. M. Parker; Madison, Kev, J. Amnions, . K. Bryan, C. 1J. lervis; Macon, T. C. ltr.vson; McDowell, Brown aud Patton; Swain, J. W. Roberson. Chairman Amnions announced that unless some objection to the report was heard he would not deem it necessary to put the question to n vote. There was no objection and the report stood adopted. Next, the convention wanted n per manent chairman, mid two delegates nominated Kev. Amnions In doing this the mover and second sat still and the chair promptly informed them they must ris: when addressing the chair. They rose and Mr. Amnions was made perma nent chu'rnriu by a rising vote. He said il it were not so lute he would make n speech, but went no lurther than to thank the convention lor placing him in the chair. Prof. Hahn was el cteel .crmanent sec rctary. A Itrsoliitloii (oiiic-s I'p, Dclciute Wallace offered a resolution, which bad Prof. Halm's s-itiatutc, and which rend as follows: Whereas, the State convention of the People's party and the State convention of tin Republican crnrtv have ogre id upon co-oH.ration in the urcsent campaign; and 'Whereas, the strength of the Peopl-.'s party in the Ninth Congressional dis trict is not sufficient to elect a candidate ol our owti ; "Resolved, That in view of the present situation that this convention make no nomination." Samuel Archer followed this with an amendment to strike out the preamble, and spoke to it. 1 have spoken for the princip'cs of the People's party," he said, and mv votes nave been given lor tuose principcs. in lciss we elected notliing in the way of representatives to Con gress, although we had 19.000 votes in Missouri ami 140,000 in the nation, but in 1801' we elected nine Representatives and three United Mates cenutors. 1 have been charged with acling contrary to the policy of my party in this cam- oaiiMi. 1 helped in Missouri and at Cin cinnati to formulate the political prtn ciples which were mainly adopted by the People s party at Uniaba in lo'J.' and I have lived up to them. 1 cannot agree to the preamble. It is coiulem nntorv of somebody." Here seaborn 1. Harris ol Hut net lord caught up the preamble and going over to Mr. Archer siul, atniu enters, "Who is condemned in that?" Mr. Archer read it aud said '1 beg par don; I bad misunderstood the reading of it, thinking it was another preamble we bad under consideration. I with draw my motion to amend," Contin uing, Mr. Arcb-.r jumped on coal tion in nu uncertain way. "Il," he said, we had gone forward without a seeming coalition we would have received newly 100,000 votes in the State, And they would not have been for the Republican oartv. but would have been clean votes." Mr. Harris rnnue tne point ot order that there was uo motion before the house, but Mr. Archer was allowed to proceed bv the chair's ruling. He said: We mieht have been sucecssiui or we might not, but we would at least have been standing honornbie. There was some cheering here, and a delegate re. mnrkrd that it must have coitc from the Democrats. They vote the way they kick and we arc down. Both ol the old parties are down on us, don't you know it? These are the indications today, as we know of tclccrnms passing Irom one ol the Congressional candidates I mean ins Richmond Pi arson! asking; that delegates favorable to coalition be sent here. That is as dishonorable an the signing ol t lie woneeilul 'demands' we bear so much of. I I'enr for success. It would have been belter to stand out lor our principles. Prol. Huhn "I Lrotrss to be ." Harris "Don't anybodv say a word." Mr. Archer moved to amend the pre amble by inserting "on the State ticket" alter the word "co-operation," wiierc upon Delegate Wallace said every semi blc mad knew the State convention would not nominate a candidate for Congress. Mr. Archer replied; "Mr, Chairman, I mil, then, not a sensible man," whereat the convention laughed Continuing, "Somebody outside of the Ninth district must have nominated him lor I know the people of our part? never did it. I shall vote against the preamble nd resolution." Delegate Purser said the adoption of the preamble meant tne endorsement 01 one or the other candidautlorCongreaa, ' He was strictly opposed to the Demo crat and Republican parties, lint the . Populists agreed with the Republicans I ou the re oea I of the county government ana tne mine election law. lie wanted the Populists to be Ireetoyi.te for whom they pleased lor Congress. He quoted Wiley Shook as saving the Populists wire a Godsend to the Republicans and that the latter would swallow the former. The roll call on the resolution ns n whole resulted in its adoption bv n vote ol 27 to 13. iiiilriniiii lliiiimn rix'i'. Mr. Parker nominated Wm. liuii.gar ner for chairman of the executive com mittee of the district, and he w as chosen by acclamation. Mr. llumg.irner lives at Wilmot. in Jackson county, and has been slier dl ol that county several times. b. Otho Wilson, the "chic! Gideonite." who had co'ue up to help settle matters between the Vunccv and liuintfsirncr forces amicably, suggested the election of wo members 0! the Statccxecutive com- nittee. Delegate Wallace nominated l:lias Hamlet ol Kuthcrinrd. who. lie id, w, as a l'uoulist "Irom the so'e oi us head to the erown of his loot." Hamlet was elected, but there were 110 other nominations. On motion ol Mr. Archer the conv. 11- tion adopted the Omaha and State plat forms. Chairman elect llumgarner arose to thank the body for the honor o! his elec tion, and made a statement ns regarded the chairmanship. At the 1802 conven tion Secretary Ward bail tailed to pre serve and send up the full minutes, which would show Mr. iancey s election, and Marion Butler, finding no record of a chairman being elected had appointed Mr. ilutngurncr. 1 his was how it was. and it was all done iu good faith. Mr. Bumgarner said he had seen that Tiik Citizen had asked "Who is Wm. ISnm- gnrner He had been lor I u years n subscriber to the paper, and if it did not know who he was he wott d ask while here that his paper be stopped. Wilson TnlUs iiie. S. Otho Wilson talked a lew wot ds, encouraging tue ropulisls to semi a solid delegation to the legislature and otherwise giving instructions along this line. Mr. Archer moved that such p.q cis as were representee! in the convention be thanked for their reports, but Wils u created a laugh bv saying that, judging Irom Ins expei icncc with the Democratic press, it would be better to wait and sec what they Slid before thanking them. He did not include the Republican press in this. Mr. Archer talked back at the remark nnd said a good thing for the papers, denouncing nnrro wiichss in vig oions terms. Wallace moved the pro- eedinus be sent to the Asheville Rcpub- ican paper, the Clinton Caucasian and the Hickory Mcrcurv," with n miuist publish. This carried, and the con vention adjourned.

Mansur and Josephtis Daniels. The nay was ushered in by the marching of the clubs behind national music. At 11 o'clock the exer cises were opened bv Col. luliun S. Carr, president, in an iloqucnt and elaborate setting forth if the de mands upon the Southern people to remain with the Democratic party. He was followed by Senator Ransom. The Senator arraigned the Republican party for its neglect of the South and de fended the Democratic party and the Senate tariff bill. The Senator said that the currency problem was the only one left to be dealt with bv the party and it would be taken up next, before tbetoitrtb ol March next. He believed in gold and silver being equal and in a redemption ol paper money by the metal. Sera tor R.insom was followed by Chas. 11. Mansur whose effort had a nu st happy and wholesome effect upon the audience. His speech was chiefly de voted to a detailed and studied defense ol the tariff bill, and he closed with a warm allusion to bis liti-long sympathy with the South and with a beautiful tribute to its people. Adjournment took place until 8 o'clock when the academy was packed to over flowing Hon. Chauncey F. Black began his remarks by saving; "1 am a Democrat from Pennsylvania," which brought dowu the house. "The reputation ol l'eiins Ivania is none of the best," said lie, "in this part of the world." The speaker continued in a happy vein, com ing up slowly to it careful discussion of live issues und industrial needs lie was enthusiastically received. Mr. Black was followed bv Hon.

He urged active work bv the clubs and inilignantly denied that the bu-iness con ditions recently existing were in nny way chargeable to the Democracy. Senator nomas . Jar vis ol North Carolina was the last speaker, nnd hi; friends claim that he made the effort ol his life. He took up in detail each issue before the people, especially those of na tional importance. The Populists and Republicans present winced and writhed under the mighty blows that he dealt. The enthusiasm of the hour was intense.
