DOMINATED FOU GOV-
By the Republican Conven
tion.
Raleigh, Sept. 7 There were
140 Republicans in the caucus last
night, which adjourned at 11:30.
It was difficult to get news of it at
first. You were sent the facts. One
feature developed later. W. E.
Henderson, a negro who holds a
revenue office, and who was Chair
man Eaves' mouthpieces at the
April convention, assailed J. C. L.
Harris, aud denounced him for say
ing that negroes smelled like guano.
Henderson said he did this as the
representative of the 115,000 ne
groes of North Carolina. Harris,
who has no manner of love for the
negro, coolly told Henderson he
was a "damned liar." That was
to him the next best thiDg to curs
ing 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 of the Yarboro were most of
the 50 Republicans registered there.
Outside were a few white men and
many negroes, very nearly three-
fifths of the delegates being ot the
latter race. Oae fact was plainly
observable and that was that the
negroes stood separate and did not
palaver much with their wnite asso
ciates.
A netrro said to me: I see
0
throncrh this business hare today
and throagh a good deal of previ
ous woik of the white Republicans.
They are trying to sell out the ne.
groes and get rid of them. They
want the negro vote split. They
want to have a white Republicau
party, thinking that they can con
cert Democrats and get Third par.
t meu in line after a while. But
when the negro vote divides the
Republicans in North Carolina aie
gone past redemption. Plenty of
as will vote the Democratic State
and county ticket. I will vote it in
this county. Cut people will vote
it in Durham; we will help elect it
there by an overwhelming majority."
Moving about in the hotel was
D. M. Furches, of Iredell, carefally
dressed and tuave. He was the
cuau talked about for Governor
since, miduight. News then came
that James E. lioyd waa too busy
to be a candidate. Mr. Dockery
said tome: 'The Democrats want
ed Boyd too badly. That of itself
wou'd have been a good reason for
not nominating him. His kuklnx
record would have been used
against him. In this campaign al
we want to know is what the Dem
ocrats want and then we will do ex
actly the opposite . thing." Mr.
Dockery is evidently a sort of phiN
OHopher. He had a lot of planks in
the platform which he had prepared
in hopes that they would gt In.
Their language was bitter enough
to suit.
At Metropolitan Hall at 12:15
Chairman J. I. Eaves called the
convention to order. There were a
good many empty seats iu the por
tion of the hall assigued to the 240
delegates. Chairman Eaves had
Secretary Waleer read the call for
the convention, and said he had the
utmost contideucein the Republican
party. A oRearmed negro named
Joho T. Shenck, of Meckleuhurg,
was called to the chair to preside
temporarily, and J. E. O'Hara col
ored, and Ramsey, white, e&coited
him to the chair. Shenck said he
hoped the convention would do the
best it could, and predicted success.
The ontlook he predicted was fa
vorable tor Harrison and Reid
James H. Young and James E. ON
Hara were made secretaries. The
roll of counties was called. Some
were missing. Then there was a
little discussion and then the tem
porary chairmau showed that the
programme was cut and drie. In
fact he stated as much openly, and
very coolly cut down O. J. Spears
aud a negro delegate who presumed
to question his au'hority, the chair
man saying he had the list ot com
mittees in advance. The roll call
showed that Bertie, Caswell, Hyde,
Mitchell, Northampton, Perquimans
aud Tiansylvauia were not repie-
sented. The following was desig
nated as the committee on credeu
tials, by districts: First, W. w.
Blair; second, J. F. Dobscn ; third,
A. R. Middleton ; fourth. T. C. Mil
liken ; fifth, W. B. Trogdon; sixth,
Arch. Brady ; seventh, R, S. Tem-
pleton ; eigtb, J. L. Hicks ; ninth, T.
O- Israel. Notice was given that
there were contests front Cumber
land, Edgecombe, Harrietts and
New Hanover counties. At 12:35
the convention took a recess until
3 o'clock. The convention broke
up in a moment. It was seen that
the office holders were in force. The
negroes were prominent and assert
ive. The credentials committee,
through Postmaster Brady, of Char
lotte, reported that the decision in
the Cumberland case was to seat
both delegations with a divided
yote ; that the Edgecombe delega
tion headed by Lee Person be seat"
ed ; that the Harnett delegation
headed bv O. J. Spears be seated
and the delegation from New Han
over headed bv J. 11. Young be
seated.
T. B. Rice ot New Hanover, pro
tested against the committee's ac
tion and denied that the county
convention in August had any right
under its call to elect delegates to
this convention. He declarea that
the committee had prejudged the
case, and said that Brady could not
get four votes in his own county.
He termed the seated delegates
usurpers and declared that if the
party wanted harmony and New
Hanover's vote it must not pre
judge. C. P. Locbey represented the oth
er side. There was a personal
wrangle between Rice and Lockey.
James H, Young called out 4tput
the motion." O'Hara jumped up
aud shouted at Young 'You can't
stand there and say that. If alight
ts to come Jtt it come now. If the
Wilmington Custom House and
Chailotte postoffice are to rule this
convention let it be known." O'
Hara yelled at W. F. Heudersoo,
who tiied to speak, "There is an
other revenue officer another mem.
ber of the ring." At this there was
a burst of applause. O'Hara asked
if the delegates propored to be lou- j
eer tools of the office-holders aud
said a packed committee had doue
its woik, and there was absence of
fair play. "It I am to have a mas
ter, as was said last night, lor God's
sake, let me choose liar," Jim
Young said Rice was a Democratic
tool and that there were others.
He read a statement signed by J. B,
Dudley.
Lockey spiang up and said it was
an infamous lie. Young then de
nounced his opponent?. There was
an attempt to choke discussion.
SoliciU r George U. White vigors
ouely denounced the gag rule, which
waa so apparent.
George W. Prico said that in
eastern counties 100,000 ucgioos
were in Democratic hands aud ux
pectcd much from this convention.
He denounced methods thus far and
said there were plain signs that
thiugs were fixed; that the white
leaders had fixed them at the Yar
boro House last night. He said the
negro Republicans had prayed that
something would be done nere to
bieak up the Infernal county gov
ernment and declared that the wes
tern Republicans did not sympa
thize with or understand the negroes
in the least.
Young said Price and others on
bis side had not voted the Repub
lican ticket in ten years. He called
Rice a kboodler."
The discussion continued an hour.
A great uproar arose. Chairman
Shenck was abused roundly. Rice
shook his fist iu Lockey 's face. Not
a sound coald be heard- J. C, L
Harris told the chaii man he could
not rule the convention and the
chairmau said, "We don't mind
your calling us liars : that don't
hurt anybody". There were shouts
of applause and ciies of "Hurrah for
Shenck."
On the stage Jim Young acted as
floor manager, dictatiug the conven
tion's work, while a cluster of white
Republicans from the west laughed
and sneered at tbd scenes on the
floor.
A vote was taken ou Rice's mo
tion to substitute for the committee
report as to New Hanover a report
stattog that the delegation headed
by himself was the legal one. By a
vote ot 178 to 20 the committee was
sustained, showing the absolute
ness of the revenue rmg's control.
The report as to the other coun
ties was adopted,
Z. V. Walser was elected perma
nent chairman and by acclamation,
W. D. Parfcer, colored, of Carteret,
was made secretary.
Walser in his speech said he fav.
ored the force bill and the delegates
shouted in applause ; he added that
the Republieans had no quarrel
with the Third party and eulogized
it.
J. C. L- Harris offered the follow.
iug resolutions.
Resolved, That it is inexpedient
to nominate a ticket for Governor
and other State officer?.
Resolvee, That the test of Re
publicanism during this campaign
shall be ou the ticket tor electors
and Congressmen.
Resolved, That the Republicans
are earnestly requested to register
aud vote for the electors and Con
gressmen and as to Governor and
other State offices, members of the
Legislature aud county offices that
thev are urged to exercise sound
discretion having iu view the suc
cess of the electoral ticket and as
many Congressmen as possible, and
the destruction of the Democratic
party.
Harris made a speech in support
of the resolutions. He said the
Third party's organization was per
fect and that its members bad
pledged themselves to fight to a fin
ish it no State ticket were put up.
He charged tbat in fifty counties,
because of the absence of white Re
publicans, the negio vote is not
counted and wanted Republicans to
make us elect in contests; but let
the third party do this- He charg
ed the county commissioners with
fraud, and said the Third party
would by threats ot persoual danj
fe-er make the frauds canvass the
votes fairly.
William F. Henderson, of Lex
ington, sprtke in opposition to Har
ris' resolution, He attacked Elias
Carr saviug he was a man without
principle. He asked if the Repub
licans were to come uplifee whipped
curs and bow to the dictates of Dem
ocrats I There were shouts of "so."
Henderson said "Shall we screen
ourselves behind tha Third party,
which has not enough in many
counties to look after the ballot
boxes!" Yells ol "no !" and great
bursts ot applause, lit said that
it his policy were pursued the Third
party would soon join the Repu
cis.
T. R. Paruell, of Wake, said the
maUer had been discussed enough
and moved that the resolutions be
tabled. By an overwhelming vote
they were tabled, while the conAen
tion cheen d long and loudly. One
delegate yelled.
It was then decided to ballot for
a candidate for Governor. A. E.
iloltitn placed in nomination David
M. Furches, of Iredell. W. F. Hen
derson aud C. A. Cook made seo
ouding speeches. On the latter's
motion the nomination wan made by
acclamation, the most ot the dele
gates risiug and ch.'t riug, but as
many as forty did not do .
O. J. Spears said the. western del
egates had ruled anil had settled
this question of a ticket.
For Lieutenant Governor, H, L.
Grant, of Wayne, aud James M.
Moody, of Haywood, were placed in
nomination. Grant was withdrawn
aud Moody nominated by acclama
tion. Rufus Amis, of Urauville, was
nominated for Secretary of Statt ;
Henry C. Dockery, of Richmond,
for Treasurer ; E. C. Palish, ot
Gniliord, for State Superinieudeut
of Public Instruction ; H. L. Grant,
of Wayne, lor Auditor ; T. R, Pur-
netl, of Wake, for Attorney Geuer
al ; William S. Ball for Associate
Justice ; W. L. Norwo. d for judge
ot the twelfth district, all nominated
by acclamatiou.
The platform was read. It en
dorses the national platform, (he
nomination ot Harrieon and Reid,
denounces the county government
system and the system ot letting out
the public printing to the lowest
bidder ; pledges aid to education ;
denounces the election laws; den
uounces the Democrats tor claiming
an honest and economical adminis
tration of State affairs and for put
ting convict labor iu competition
witn nee labor; lavors an increase
of national cuuei cy aud the estab
lishment of postal savings banks.
At 7 o'clock D, M. Furches was
escorted to the stage aud introduc
ed as the next Governor of Noith
Carolina. There was great demon,
filiation by the delegates.
Furches said there had beeu dis
sension in the patty. He asked
tbat this cease and declared th s to
be the best opportunity the Repub'
licans have had to win the State
He said he expected all to vote lor
him aud to woik lor him and assur
ed the convention that he would do
his whole duty. He would insist
upon a joint discussion aud was
ready for it.
J. M. Moody and other nominees
also spoke.
At 7:30 o'clock the couventiou ad
jou' ned sine die.
At the adjournment f the Repub
lican State convention it was an
nounced that to-night a ratification
meeiing would be held. It was well
attended. Oscar F, Spears presid
ed, and made a speech. Other
speakers were T. It. Purnell, J. E.
O'Hara, George H. Ohite, T. P.
Devereux and W. S. O'B. Robinson.
White pledged the solid negro vote
to the Republicans, and said that he
was one of those wuo had opposed
the nomination of a State ticket,
but who now thought that to-day's
work was the best the party had
ever done.
