They saw that the negroes, Diinu iormore tnan twenty Years, were now ai msi seeing what to Democratic vision had been clear so loner. Tin w the negro orators, and real they were, did pour the hot shot into Mott and Russell and White and John Nichols. A perfect shower of abuse fell upon Nichols all day along, and he appears to be a man without any col ored Republican support. His head will be asked for by the committee whose names were telegraphed last night and who will go to Washington September 4th, to meet the President. J. S. Leary is chairman, J. C. Price spokesman and C. H. Moore secretary of the delegation. Negroes tell me that they hate Cheat ham and that they hope Simmons will be put up by the Democrats. They say he can beat Cheatham. The latter was in quite bad odor here yesterday and knew he was in a tight place.

To make things a trifle more even -tney demand the permanent chairmanship jof the State convention to-morrow. This demand is plain and frank. Dr. Mott said tome to-day that there was no objection to it. That meant that he thinks the negroes en titled to it. That sop will be thrown to xnem. tias mere ever Deiore been a negro chairman?

There are intimations that in the plat form there will be a planK favoring an increase of the -currency (the Farmers' Alliance idea) and there will be one re garding the State election law and the Lodge bill.

It was fully fifteen minutes be- for any semblance of order was restored. Speaker Reed was entirelv powerless. The combatants were Messrs. Beckwith, of New Jersey and Wilson, of Washington and such choice billingsgate as cannot be even indicated in a family paper was hurled at each others heads. Just before this em- broglio, a personal rencontre between Messrs. Cannon and Mason' came near taking place in front ol the Speaker's desk. The air was lurid for a while. v All this turmoil is the direct result Of despotic rule in general and espe cially the effort to force through t&e so-called Pure Lard bill contrary to the order taken by the House itself.

He wants 5,000 families for Arkansas and Texas, and 20,000 for the Yazoo delta. Williams has a list of the addresses of 22.000 negroes whom ho has, carried South. His illustrated circulars are, as the, circus people say, great." One shows a scene on a plantation after a day's work. Some negroes are dancing in the moonlight, while others squat ted on the ground,are devouring water melons with their customary rapidity. Great is Williams, and he is one of the men who are bound to succeed. He is now at Morehead,' a catcher of fi?h, he will be later a catcher of men. Full accounts will be given in the Messenger of to-morow7s convention, which is sure to have some interesting features. The bosses are trying to quiet the blacks and the two factions, Mott and Eaves, are in a life and death struggle. A witty negro last night, in the convention, pronounced sentence of death upon the bosses, and did it in dramatic fashion. Everybody, save the bosses roared with laughter. The negro to-day holds the balance of power. The white Republican leaders really don't know just what will be done. Heretofore they have made their plans ahead and worked up to them. To-night there are lively scenes at the Yarboro house, which is head quarters of both Mott and Ives. Mott has made a bid for the negro support by promising that a negro shall be permanent chairman of the conven tion. The Eaves people do not like this idea, and JEaves makes a bid by promising that he will see that negroes get appointments under him in the Continued on fourth page. A Locomotive Explodes. Mansfield.

(League.) i Cloak makers' Strlko Declared Off. PhiiVdeipilia, Aug. 27. The cloak makers' strike in this city, after con tinuing nearly eighteen weeks, was de clared off last night, and the strikers resumed work to-day. This result was obtained through the mediation of the Rev. S. Morals, LL. D., of the Mick vie Israel Synagogue,and George Randorf. agent for the Baron Hirsch fund and tbe Association of Jewish Immigrants. In all about four hundred and fifty men were involved; less than one hundred are now in the city, some baring gone to Chicago and a majority to New York, and, on that motion, demanded the previous question. The previous ques tion wa ordered. Mr. Turner, of New York, again t out on his task of consuming time, tak ing as his text the Cannon resolution of yesterday.' Though he proclaimed himself to be in good voice, he wa un able to proceed for more than leb min utes in denunciation of the resolution, when he ceased and yielded to Mr. Mc AJoo, of New Jersey, who heaped de nunciation and ridicule upon Mr1.
