CORBETT THE CHAMPION. HE KNOCKS SULLIVAN OUT ON THE 21 ST HOUND. Tbe Flgbt m Pierce and Vlsorooe One Corbett Starts In to Win mm& le ABKreselve He Cornea Out Wl lb out a Scratch tiulllvan la Badlr Pnnlthed and Bleedlns Profueely. New Orleans, ? Sept. 7. Every thing is ready for the great fight be tween John L. Sullivan and James J. Corbett. Excitement is at a high pitch and an immense crowd is present in the Olympic club's hall. Sullivan took quite little exercise in the morn ing, banging a new ball for time, bkipplng the rope, passing a leather ball andrwinding up with a plunge bath. Corbett remained in doors quiet ly during tbe day. . The leading talent of New York have thus far been very fortunate, and a rich harvtst hatbeen reaped by the eeloction of MoAuliff j 'and Dixon as winners. Nine-tenths of the New Yorkers are staunch : adherents of Suliivan- and they are! backing. tneir opinions to their bottom dollar, Tbe pool rooms closed yesterday even ing with, figures 83 to 100 on Sullivan. This morning they were 1 to 4 and yet considerable money was going on tbe champion. The crowd to-night ap peared to be pretty evenly divided in its sympathy. Both men had plenty of friends, but it would be difficult to de termine which man was the favor ite from anything that could be gathered in the. arena before the boxers made their "appearance. So far as the betting men are con cerned, Sullivan was the favorite at odds at about 2 to 1, though those who looked purely at form failed to see why "the big man" should be selected as the infallible winner. There were many who backed Corbett for the fight who had won thousands of dollars on Sullivan in his former battles, but who believed that the prize fighter, who had taken even the best care of him-, self, must begin to go down bill before reaching Sullivan's age. They thought ne naa maae a mistake of staying too long in the ring and that his Waterloo was to come to-night. , NEW Oeleans, Sept. 7. Fully 9,0QO pepple were present when the fighters came into the ring at 8 o'clock. Sulli van weighed in at 212 pounds; Corbett, 189. The pools closed at 8 o'clock 3 to 1 against Corbett. Corbett won the choice tf corners. Charley Johnston, Sullivan's backer, and Jack McAuIiffe, seconded Sullivan. John Donaldson and Billy Delaney seconded Corbett. The time keeper for Corbett is ' Bat Master eon; for Sullivan, Frank Moran; for the club, R. M. Frank. The gloves weigh 5 ounces. Professor Duffy inr structed the men on the rules. In alb respects to-night's fight was the greatest of the three. , In point of purse, in point of men, "ia point of crowd and in point of excitement it ex celled the battles already gone into history. There was a plenty of money to back each man. Tbe Sullivan people declared the terms and the other side had to meet the lead. 1 Ten thous and dollars a side was named as the wager. The Corbett people agreed to it without demur. That meant $20, 000 as a starter. Then there came tbe question of a purse- The Olympic wanted the match at all hazards. It offered $25,000 for the mill and the princely Bum was accepted. It was agreed the 'winner should have the whole of it. The loser would find no solace for his work. The conditions were brief. They were to fight to the. finish under Queensberry rules. That means that the men must stand up squarely and box, stripped to the waist, each round to last taree minutes and one minute rest. Nothing waB said about weight. Each man was privi leged to carry as much flesh as he pleased. Along with the purse to the winner goes the championship. The eullivan people were of the club first. They took a carriage at the ho tel before 7 o'clock and drove leisurely down with a string of hacks. The carriage was closed and few on the streets knew it contained the man from Boston. Sullivan wore a dark suit, his heavy sweater peeping through his half open coat. He looked stroag and determined. He walked with a jaunty air and came in so easy with the line cf people entering at the time that few noticed him. He went to bis room and his friends prepared him for the fray. Big Jim Corbett followed in the wake of the champion coming in fifteen min utes later. He came in with a light step and face wreathed in smiles. He wore a tweed suit, cap and yellow shoes and his hands were stuck in the pock ets of his coat. He nodded to friends as he walked rapidly to his room a d showed no signs of nervousness in face of the battle before him. Mike Donno van, and one or two others trotted be hind and when they entered the little room up stairs they went to work to strip the gladiator. The two heavy weights remained in their room until called to the ring. - In the toss for corners Corbett won and chose the lucky one that Dixon and McAuIiffe had. i The first siga of the contest came in the pereoa of Police Captain William Barrett, who went into the ring at 8:55' o'clock. Ex-Mayor Guillott, who acted as master of ceremonies, entered the arena a few minutes later and made a speech warning the spectators that they must be careful not to violate any rule of the. club. 1 i Sullivan entered the ring first, dressed in green trunks and black shoes and socks. Be looked in perfect condition. Corbett followed a moment later, looking pale. Corbett looked "entirely outclassed in point of build, though his friends relied upon his cleverness to win. the battle. Pivot blow and back heeling was barred by mutual consent and the men agreeing to fight fair, were sent to their corner to get ready for the fray. The battle began at 9;10 o'clock. .

Schenck, of Mecklenburg, was called to the chair to , preside temporarily, and J. E. O'Hara, colored, and Ram' sey, white, escorted him to the ckair. Schenck said he hoped 'the convention would do the best it could, and pre dlctedj success. The outlook, he pre dicted, was favorable for Harrison and Reid. j J. H. Young and J. ELIVHarr t . ii ' 1 ooin negroes, were made secretaries. reet m xne rou or. counties was called. Some were missing. Then there was a little discussion, and the temporary chair man showed that the programme was cut and dried. In fact he stated as much j openly, and very coolly cut down O. J. Speares and a negro delegate who presumed to question his authority, the chairman saying he had the lists of committees in advance. The roll call showed that Bertie, Caswell.ffyde. Mitchell, Northampton, Perquimans. Transylvania, were not represented. The following were designated as the committee on credentials bv districts: First, .W. W. Blair; second. J. P. Dob- son; third, A. R. Middle ton; fourth, T. C. Milllkin; fifth, W. B. Trogden: sixth. Arch Brady; seventh, R. S. Tem- pieton; eighth, J. L. Hicks; ninth. T. C. Israel. Notice was ffiven that thfr were contests from Cumberland,Edge- combe Harnett, and New Hanover counties. At 12:35 the convention took ;a recess wjth until 3 o'clock. Thecon- vention broke up in a momant There were many well-known faces among; delegates. It was seen that the "(office-holders were in force. The negroes were ' prominent and as sertive.' AX the afternoon session of the con tention the Credentials through Postmaster Brady, of Char lotte, jreported that the decision' in the Cumberland case was to seat both delegations with divided votes: that the Edgecombe delegation, headed bv Lee Person be seated; that the Har nett delegation, headed by O. J. Spears, be seated and the delegation from New Hanover, headed by J. H. Young be seated. S P. Bi Rice, of New Hanover, pro tested against the committee's action and denied that the county convention In August had any right under its call to elect delegates to this convention. He declared that the commit tee I had prejudged the case and said Brady could not get our votes in his own countv. He termed the seated delegates usurpers. and declared if the party wanted har mony and New Hanover's vote it must not prejudge the case1. v i C. Pi Lockey represented the other side. There was a personal wrangle between Rice and Lockey. i James H. Young called out. "Put the motion." r O'Hara jumped up and shouted at Youngs "You can't stand there and say tnat. a fight Is to come let it come now. t the Wilming ton custom house and Charlotte postofflce are to rule this convention let it be known." O'Hara yelled at W. P. Trfinrinn who tred to speak: 'There is another revenue officer, another member of the ring." At mis mere was a burst of ap- plause. O'Hara asked if delegates proposed to be longer tools of the office holders and said the picked committee had done its work and there was the absence of fair play. If I am to have a master, as was sa'd last eight, for God's sake let me chooBe him. - i Jim Young said Rice was a Demo cratic tpol and that there were others. He read a statement signed by J. B. Dudley. I Locky sprang up and said it was an infamous He. i Young then denounced , his oppon ents. ' ; There was an attempt to choke the disoussiofiv Solicitor George H. White vigor ously denounced tbe gagrule, which was so apparently. George W. Price said In the Eastern counties 1,000,000 negroes were in Democratic claws and expected much from this convention. He denounced the methods thus far and said there were plain signs that things were fixed; that white leaders had fixed them at the Yarboro house last night. He said negro Republicans bad prayed that something would be done here to "brake up the infernal county government. He declared that Western Republicans did not sympathize with or understand the negroes in the East. Young aaid Price and otfterg on his side had not voted tne .Republican ticket fn tan 1. W M years. He called Rice a 'boodler." Tbe dIscus9loa continued an hour, A great uproar arose. Chairman Schenck was abused rounily. Rice shook his fist in jLockey's face. Not a sound could be heard. . i , J. C. L. Harris told the chairman he could npt run the convention and the chairman said, "We don't mind .your callings liars. That don't hurt any body." f: . . . 4 . 1 T4er irere ghquts of applause and cries of ("Hurrah for Sohenck " On the jstage Jim Young acted as a floor manager, dictating the conven tion's work, while a cluster of white Republicans from the West laughed and sneered At the scenes on the floor. - ..... , - 1 1 : : A vote was taken on Rice's motion to substitute for the committee's report as to New Hanover a report seatiog the delegation headed by himself. By vote of 178 to 20 the committee was sustained, showing the absoluteness of the revenue ring's control. The report s to the other counties was adopted. V tr -m : ...... . . w aiser was elected perma nent chairman and by acclamation. W. D. Parker, colored, of Carteret, was maae secretary. walser, in his speech, said he fa- vorea a Force bill and the delegates shouted in applause. He added that the Republicans had no quarrel with tne ihird party and eulogized it. J.o. I Harris offered the following resolutions: uesoived. That it Is inexpedient to nominate a ticket for Governor and other State officers. l - Resolved, That a test of Republican ism during this campaign shall be on the ticket for electors and Congress men. ResblvedV'That the Republicans are earnestly requested to "register I and vote for electors and Congressmen, and as to Governor and other State officers, members of the Legislature and county officers, that they are urged to exercise sound discretion, having in view the success of the electoral ticket and as many Congressmen as possible, and the destruction of the Democratic party. Harris made a speech in support of tbe resolution. He said the Third party's organization was perfect and that its members had pledged them selves to fight to the flnish if no State ticket were put up. He charged that in fifty counties, because of the absence of white Republicans, the negro vote is not counted. He charged the county commissioners with fraud and said the Third party would by threats of per sonal danger,make these frauds canvass the votes fairly. William F. Henderson, of Lexing ton, spoke in opposition to Harris' res olutions. He attacked Ellas Carr, say ing he was a man without principle. He asked if the Republicans were to come up like whipped curs and bow to the dictates of the Democrats. There were shouts of "no." Henderson said: "Shall we screen ourselves behind the Third party, which has not, in many counties, men enough to look after bal lot boxes." Yells of "no" and great burst of applause.J He said if his pol icy were pursued the Third party would soon join the' Republicans. T.R. Purnell, of Wake, said the matter had been discussed enough and moved that the resolutions be tabled. By an overwhelming vote they were tabled, while the convention cheered long and loudly. One delegate yelled. ii was men aeciaea to ballot lor a candidate for Governor. i m A. E. Hoi ton placed in nomination David M. Furches, of Iredell. W. I F. r-r a . a ii aenoerson ana u. a. uootc maae sec onding speeches. On the latter's motion the nomination was by accla mation, most of the delegates rising and cheering, but as many as forty did not de so. , ri. r O. J.

MESSENGER BUREAU, I Raleigh, N. C. Bept. 7. There were 140 Republicans in the caucus last night, which adjourned at 11-3nn'nlulr T .. . Jim 'u a. - news ui it ai nrsc. you were sent the facts. One feature developed later. w. Hi. uenderson, a negro who holds a revenue office, and who was Chair man Eaves' mouthpiece at the April convention, assailed S J. C. L. Harris ana aenounced him for saying the ne groes smelled Ude guano. Henderson said he did this as! the representative of the 115,000 negroes in North Caro lina. Harris, who has ho manner of love for the negro, poolly told Hender son he was a "d 4 liar." That was to him the next best thing to cursing Eaves himself, which; to be sure, Mr. Harris is quite ready to do. This morning the streets were astir with Radicals, white and black. Inside the Yarboro were I most of the fifty white Republicans registered there. Outside were' a few white men and many negroes, very nearly three-fifths of the delegates being of the latter race. One fact was plainly obaerv&hln and that was that i the negroes stood separate and did hot palaver much with their white associates.! A negro Baid to me : "I see ihmnoh this business here to-day and through a good deal of thei previous work of the white Republicans. Thev urn tn. log to sell out the negroes and get ride of them. They want the negro vote sol it. Thev want to have a whim Re publican party, thlnkinir thev can con vert Democrats aad get Third party men in line after a while.

TTJ Ku Klux record would have been used against him. In this camnaiVn all want to know is what' the DemiwmB want and then we will do exantlv (.h opposite thing." MrJ Dockery is evi- aentiy a sort of as philosopher. He had a lot of planks in the platform which he had prepared in hopes they would eet in. Their la bitter enough to suit, i Mr. W. P. Batchelor had a tftWi.m to day that his horse Pamlico had won the priza as the best trnttinor bhih at the Kentucky State! fair: makioc a half mile in 1:07. 1 Mr. W. H.
