C, Auc. 28. pe- tvL The convention looked as if it had g.ne Ipu!:st when one recalled the days of 14 and 1M. Father Torth held down a front feat in the gallery. Ex-Congres-cmsn Fowler of Sampson was one erf th early arrivals and when aked the occasion of hi appearance draplr raid: "I have evoluted." G. Ed..

Seawell and a doien others who came to the surface when Populism hcM full sway were noticea ble nmong the delegates. The convention' was cot only eompo- 1 of white men, but tt wa one of the largrst the Republicans ever held in the state. Practically every seat in the parquet was occupied and not more than a dozen negroes were among the drlfcates. They evidently did not feel i a m II A a 1- rery muca at nome, ior an or mem oc- e?ic.l e.lti at tne extreme rear, jiu Yonny and Ine of Wake were conspic uous by the'.r absence. Ale Middleton an eb,ny hero of other days wa also m"ing. The Republican leaders were very pro-id of the showing they made. Most of the fares were familiar. They were the men who have been holding down federal positions in the state for a generation and more. The new fare were le. numerous, but there Is no de nying the fact that there w.i an im provement in the personnel of the dele gate. Among the new recruits there wn a big three t'lat attracted attention. They ?.lt on the platform and their names are Chas. Price, Chas. W. McNamee and W. D. Day. Of the old timers there was R, Zlarig Tanner, sad of counte nance anl heavy of locks. RufSn Hen derson, who six years ago was attached to the state ticket as a sinker. Jake Klinrpe, stout and sleepy. Sheriff Red ding1 of Randolph, in seven feet of length and towerine over all. J. Wiley Shook, the eollariess statesmen, War re! Vines Hall ia full front of linen vest, Sam Holton, looking w'we. Ike Mtekins with a brand new tie and ao on through the list. There were no decorations in the hall. A picture of the late president draped in mourning had a position on the stag.-. Everything was quiet until shortly be fore noon when Senator Pritchard ap peared and then the applause began. Congressman Blackburn appeared short ly and hevcame in ror recognition by hand-clapping. As eoon as the conven tion wa called to order by Senator Pritchard. R. D. Danglas was recog nized and welcomed the Republican to Greensboro. Zeb Vance Walser who reponded aid he was glad to see the Vme come when, the leading cities of the state wanted the Republican state convention in their midst. The time had been, he said, when they were not glad to have the convention. He de clared tSat the aiate was ablaze with Industry and th it most of the flame wa in Greensboro today. Renator Frllehr4 ak Senator Pritchard followed with his address to the convention and he re ceived a rery attentive hearing. The Senator was in good trim and he was cordially congratulated when he con cluded. The Senator declared that the people before him hnd happier expres sions on their faces now than when un der Democratic mle In the nation. Th revenultea and the postmasters applaud ed with great enthusiasm. VThe refer ence to MeKinley was greeted with prolonged cheering. The next wave of enthusiasm came when'the Senator said if you don't believe we have a Hrely president come to Washington and let me introduce you to him. There wa another outburst when he referred to Roosevelt as "That Matchless States man." When the Senator derlared that the business of Senator Simmons was that of cheating negroes town in North Carolina, the white Re publicans began to make noise, but the nesroes stt still. They were in doubt as to their fate before the convention. Sen ator Pritchard eaid the Lord willing he rrtendel to be heard a:I over North Car olina Jn this campaign. (Applause.) I have challenged for joint canvass, he said, "Locke Craig, the man who led that make good the pledgee of Sena tor Simmons, himself and others 'that freedom of thought should prevail af ter the adoption of the amendment. I propose to discuss principles on a high plane and I believe Craig will do the same. This is one of the times wuen we want an open campaign in North Caro lina. We want to open the books and have a, free and full discussion." (Ap plause.) ! Probably the greatest enthusiasm ' of the convention was manifested when the senator declared that the amendment was out of politics and the race issue was in the past. When Senator Pritch ard concluded he was cheered 'to the echo, and J. R. McCrary stepped for ward on. the platform and presented him with flowers, the gift of ladies in High Point. The Senator made a fit ting acknowledgement. Wiley Sbk Take a Its "When Senator Pritchard began his speech all was attention, but when he drifted back to 1892 and the tariff, it wrs noticeable that several delegates showed signs of carelessness. The sen ator had pTocedcd only a few momenta when J. Wiley Shook of Pigeon River decided that it was a good time to take a nap. He fell asleep with no effort at nil, and this gave courage to Bill Sut ton of Bladen, who took the same trip. The crowd would puncture the atmos phere with shouts and noise, but Wi ley's slumber was undisturbed. He scon slid down at full length, resting his head on the top of an operua chair with apparent comfort. For half an hour the senator discussed national issues and then he turned toward etate mat ters. Everything was quiet in Wiley's location nntil Senator Pritchard began to- pay his respects to his colleague. The minute he shouted the narfhe of Sen ator Simmors Wiley straightened up in his seat and was all attention. Soon a smile began to play on his fare and ev ery time the Senator thumped Simmons and Ayeoek there was satisfaction ex pressed on the countenance of the gen tlemen from Pigeon River. The name of Simmons was like magic on Shook. A call of the roll showed the selec tion of the following committee' on cre dentials: Frrst district: Ike Meekins; Second, R. IT. Norflect: Third. J. E. Fowler; Fourth. W. S. Bailey': Fifth. W. B. Steele; Sixth. Th.. A. Sutton; Seventh, G. F. Long; Eighth. J. W. McNeill; Ninth, W. E. Logan; Tenth, M. A. New lands. With more than a dozen contests to pasa upon it was at once decided ftrat a recess should be taken. Ex-Lieut Governor Reynold of Forsyth wanted to adjourn until three o'clock, , hold caucus at that hour and resume the con vention proceedings at five. Col. V. S. Lnsk said the convention could not or der a caucus, but that the chair could announce one. At one-thirty the con- ventioned -adjourned until 5 o'clock Senati- Pritchard Immediately called a caucu'of all delegates in the hall at 3 o'clock. a characteristic speech that was humor ous at times. Senator Pritchard introduced a reso lution endorsing Hill for Chief, justice He declared that the seiJrSole course to pursue and made a warm speech in fa vor of his resolution. He did not ex press himself with reference to the en dorsement of Judges' Walker and Con nor, the Democratic nominees. Moody followed with a speech in support of Pritchard's resolution and- then came Lus'k in a red-hot, bristling speech urg ing the endorsement of Hill. (Blackburn opposed the Pritchard reso- manemt organization The convention took no .part in naming this committee, which the chairman an nounced ae follows: - Ex-Judge Bynum, W. S. Hyams, A. E.

Special. It was nearly half -past five when -the convention was called to order again, a wait having been made for the commit tee on credentials. J. W. .McNeill, chairman of the committee, soon made his appearance and, offered the report, which showed that the following coun ties were not represented in the conven tion: Camden, Cherokee, Graham, Jack son, Macon, l oik, Rutherford, Transyl vania. The unseating of the colored delegates did not create a row, as was expected m some quarters. The negro was pitched out and he had no one to plead his cause. The. report of- the committee was adopted without opposition except on the part of IL jr. Seawell of Moore, a for mer Populist. A number of contests were compromised during the day, and there were only eight cases left for the committee to pass on. In Rockingham county the vote was divided between the contestees and con testants, each, delegate being given half a vote. In Craven ex-Congressman O'Hara and ex-Sheriff Hahn were un seated and the vote was awarded to the lily whites, headed by Itobert Hancock and.J. Biddle. The. Halifax contest was decided in favor of J. G. Wood, T. II. Dickens, L. Green and Ed Clark. The delegation headed by T. L. Love from Union was seated. From Warren B. G. Green and W. M. Jones were awarded seats over ex-Congressman Cheatham and his delegation. In Wil son the J. T. Sharpe delegation was seated. The Hogan negroes were thrown out in Wayne and the delegation headed by J.

Oscar Spears seconded the nomination and he created a laugh by saying that he had been abolished by the Democratic legislature. C. T. Bai ley of Wake also seconded, the nomina tion.

Seawell had never been nomi nated by a district convention for judge in the JUlghth district, but the convention tonight went ahead and named him, re gardless of one or two delegats who protested; but that did not cut any figure. Cox of Scotland wanted to know how the district was to name a solicitor. "Hold a convention," was the infor mation gravely given from the platform. "HDDDosfl we want to name anotner man for judge," Cox asked. "Then he won t oe recognized, saia Chairman Price. I don't know where we are at. yelled Cox, and. the convention howled with laughter.
