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.
