The Speaker stated that the pending

point of order that to-day had been
ic?,med to the .Labor committee. The

hewanted toisee whether he would

Tho speaker declined to ruleon point
of order, stating the very question
which the House was about to decide
was whether the Lrd bill was unfin
ished business, j
Noth withstanding the protests of
Messrs. Turner, of New York, and
MeClammv, of North Carolina, the
Speaker directed the clerk to proceed
with4he roll call.
The question : of Mr. Cannon's reso
lution was again brought forward by
a personal explanation from Mr. Wil
liams, of Illinois, one of the gentlemen
mentioned in the preamble. He was
proceeding to j comment upon Mr.
Cannon's action as a member of the
committee on Rules when he was called
to order by the Speaker, who request
ed that he confine himself to the ques
tion of personal privilege.
Mr. Cannon Let him go on; he does
not hurt anybody.
The Speaker replied that it was not
a question as to j whether anybody was
hurt or not,! it was ques
tion of consumption of public . time.
Mr. Boatner, of Louisiana, rising to
a question of personal privilege, said
that he had been included In the black
list. He had temporarily absented
himself for the purpose of breaking a
quorum, ana lor tne purpose vi ueieat

Raleigh, Aug 28. Special The
Republican Slate convention met at
Metropolitan hall at 12:20 with a larger
attendance than was at first expected.
The whites were more numerous than
the negroes, and . by an evidently pre
concerted arrangement they turned
out in force. There were many spec
tators and altogether a good deal of in
terest was shown in the convention.
John Ii. Eaves, the chairman, called
the convention to order, and Jt C. L.
Harris read the call. E. E. Smith, the
colored ex-Minister to Liberia, was
made temporary chairman. This was
a little sop to the blacks. While the
committee on credentials was out sev
eral speeches were made. J. P. Pritch
ard, a noted white Radical, (candidate
for Lieutenant-Governor in 1SSS,) of
Mitchell county, made a fiery speech,
attacking the Democrats, and alleged
that the farmers opposed Vance while
the Democrats were trying to bolster
him up. He said the negro and the
color line were no longer objects of fear
to tne wnite men, ana saia unman s
campaign in Soutrr Carolina was on
that line. (Cheers for Tillman. 1 "There
is no color question in North Carolina,
either," shouted the speaker. Charles
A. Cooke, of Warren, the United States
attorney for this district, said that in
the coming campaign the Republican
party was to achieve that success of
which Democratic fraud and ras
cality and false counts had here
tofore deprived it. He asserted
that in 1SSS Dockery was really
elected Governor. He accused
the Democrats of passing a vile election
law, which was intended to defeat the
will of the people and to encourage
perjury and fraud, but declared that
the Republicans would shake hands
with all other good men and put this
down. He eulogized Harrison in the
strongest terms, as a political light and
god. uharles t McKesson, oi uurKe,
got on the stage and tried to speak.
He was not in a condition to, but
wearied the! audience for five minutes
and then subsided. He was followed
by Jamef H. Harris, the black orator,
(whose speech in eulogy of the force
bill was noted day before ye-terday.)
Harris is a demagogue, of course, and
lauded Harrison, the apology for a
President, even more thau Cooke did.
He said the Republican party was not
dead, and that so was bossism. He re
newed his assertion that no civil ser
vice rules (he is in the postoftice) could
stop him from making uepuoucan
speeches. He said the Democratic
leaders dealt fairly with the negroes
on all questions save one politics, and
that the negroes went with the Demo
I cras on all questions save one poli
tics, i tie aeciarea in&i no longer can
the Democrats frighten the voters of
the western counties with their talk
about negro equality. He made many
demands for the black man, saying
white men must give him office. V. S.
Lusk, white Republican, of Asheviile,
was the next speaker. He made a
most bitter and outrageous speechl in
support of the Lodge bill. He declared
that he wished to see a man-of-war in
every Southern harbor and bayonets at
every voting place.
John S. Leary, Charles Price, Mar
shall L. Motte and Rev, R. H. W.
Leak also spoke. The committee on
credentials reported that eighty-five
counties were represented. The con
vention then begad lively work and
soon got very hot indeed over the se
lection of a permanent chairman. The
color line was drawn boldy. The fol-

Chicago, Aug. 2S. Twuty-eYeo
switchmen in the employ of the Lake
Shore road went out on strike last
night, completely tielng up all tho
bu-lnej-i of vthe road as far a Chicago

of the eiock yards dirticuity. Superin

down to the stock vards Yesterday, af

afterwards another crew wa started,
but abandoned the engines at Forty -tnird

came to go to work they learned that
KnTwrintendent Amsden had dfs-
charsretl all the men who had left their
engines. They immediately called a
meeting and the men in the yards at
Twelfth -treet, Fort3'-third street and
Englewix)d walked out in a uoov.
general meeting was' called at the
corner of Sixty-third street and Indi
ana avenue and a communication was
drawn up and addressed to Superin
tendent Arasden, in which it was stated
that the men would return to work
when those who had been discharged
were reinstated. To this communica
tion Suirintendent Am&den replied
that the men had been discharged for
refusing to perform their duties. On
receipt of this news the strike was de
clared. There are altogether about
eighty switchmen employed on the
Lake'Shore road, this. morning, half
of which number the superintendent
thinks win hold tneir worK. ine
night ar d day switchmen are about
equally divided and only the night
I men have struck thus far.
The day men have left their engines
to attend the meetings in progress at
Sixty-third street and Wentworth ave
nue, the result of which is not yet
known and out of twenty-three engi
neers that should be working, only
three ar at work. The conference at
Sixty-third street and Wentworth ave

whether thev intended to

Thirty-four o! the sixty present signed
a paper ; greeing to stand by the com
pany and to go and do their work when-;

to "packing town" to do work needed

lowing nominations were made: C. A.
Cook. John S. Leary. eolored, A. E.
Holton, Virgil S. Lu.sk, M. L. Motte. J.
C. L. Harris nominated Leary, made a
fiery speech, saying the nomination 01
Leary was due the negroes. The white
Republicans should be men enough to
do justice to the negroes who did the
wcrk and who had stood by the party
in all dangers. At this the negroe
cheered mildly, j A negro named Hen
derson, who is Eaves' clerk, said he
favored Hoi ton, as there was no black
or white in the Republican party. He
attacked. J. C. L. Harris, caving1 the
latter could only recognize the negro
after twenty-five yeans, and satd this
plan of putting up a negro for chair
man was a trick. He declared thai the
Radical bosses were backed by the
Richmond and Danville Railroad com
pany, but that they could no longer
use the negro as a tool, tie lniimatea
that Harris utight be one of the white
Republicans who went to Washington
City and urged that no offices be givea
negroes. At this Harris sprang up
and said any man who said that was a
liar.
John H. Williamson took the floor
and said if this was not stopped the
convention bad better quit. Hender
son continued his speech and said there
was a clique and deal in this affair by
which Eaves was to De continued as
the committee chairman and - Leary
made permanent president of the convention.
tjs TT. Vouncr poured shot into Hen
derson saying that two days .ago he
was in a caucus of. tne jueary, men anu
there tried to get Eaves endorsed. A
rough scene followed; twenty men were
on their feet at once and the color line
was drawn powerfully. A Western
white man said the white Republicans
demanded a white chairman. There
were open chargas by the negroes that
the convention was packed by white
Republican bosses. Marshal Mott
charged Eaves with being traitor to an
agreement made last night. Eaves,
who was on the stage denied any knowl
edge of any compact between him and
Dr. Mott.
y Z. P. Pritchard endorsed Cook as
chairman and said there was no con
tract between Mott and Eaves but the
friends of these bad tried to harmonize
matters. Logo Harris and others said
there was a compact.

large enough to hold the National con-

the convention was to prepare a series

to bring about a complete reorganiza

throughout the whole country.

for theeelection of John T. Leary
colored, for permanent chairman, and
the colored caucus endorsed him. The
pegroea let it be understood that they
would demand that a negro be given
that place. ThU morning It was
learned that there wa a comproml.
A negro was to be given the tempor
ary chairmanship, while the perma
neat chairmanahlp was to go to A. E.
Holton, a white man, of Yadkin
county. It was openly stated thst
some of the white delegates could not
stand a negro is permanent chairman,
home negroes told me that they should
stand up to their demand for a negro.
They claim that the white Itepubll
cans played a trick on them by giving
them comparatively few places a dele
gates to the State convention, but
gave them many to the Coogreslonal
convention. The negroes could not
see through this. . ,
