CONVENE AND NOMINATE.
Tlie Colored Fusionlsts nn4'- Itepnbli
cans Met Last Xfgltt.
There was a considerable stir
among the colored people last (Tnes-
day) night, the occasion being a
massmeeting cf the voters in Ward 4,
to '.nominate men for' the town officers
in that ward.
The convention was held in the
old colored Methodist church in rear
of Scotia Seminary. The meeting
called to order by Chairman
Boger, after which Gabriel Rome was
seated as president.
It seems there are three factions
in the party and that it was difficult
no little to corne to a decision as to
whom the convention would choose
for school commissioner. Sonaa
wanted to run Rev. Logan, but Lo-
gan declined to run. The names of
Bob McRea, Jones Montgomery and
Jake Boger were then put in nomina-
tion, Boger receiving the majority.
The meeting did not put out cm-
didates for mayor or aldermen, but
will do so at their meeting tonight,
A meeting has teen called for
xt Tuesday night, but it 13 said
that the weakest faction' will meet
t)night and reconsider last night's
work, and put out a ticket to suit
themselves.
Bill Junker was present and
orated on the ability of Jake Boger
for the office to which be had been
nominated, and that he was deeply
gratified with the result of the meet-
