THE REPUBLICAN COriVENTION FOR THIS DISTRICT, Held at Greenshoro Yesterday--Uoi. J. M. Brower Nominated on First Ballot ;hy; a Close Margin. We take the 1 following account of the Republican Congressional Con vention for the Fifth District held at Greensboro yesterday from th Pat 1 iot of that city r At 1 2 o'clock to day Deputy Sheriff Peyton. H. Bilbro, chairman of the Republican .Congres sional executive committee, called the Republican convention to order. There had been an immense amount of caucusing and wire-pulling all the morning and there, were whispers of "treachery" and "selling out" 3nd one who was behind the scenes said that Browers strength fell off, Amis also lost and Settle gained. After calling the convention to orj der, chairman Bilbro announced that he would adjourn the convention until two o'clock. This arbitrary and rather unusual proceeding took the breath out of some of the workers, but it was no use to kick and they gave in, some alleging that Brower wanted a chance to buy back his recreant dele gates, others alleging that Settle and Amis wanted: another' chance to buy off a few more. At two o'clock, the convention re assembled and was called to order again by Deputy Sheriff Bilbro, who, without regard to the. kicking against it, appointed a committee on creden tials. Charlie, Reynolds kicked, but itdid no good. Mr. Bilbro develop ed remarkable ability as a presiding officer, as he showed how well a Brow er man can run a convention without rules or secretary. Jessie Hoskins could't hold in any longer and he spoke at length. He, among other wise and statesmanlike utterances, evolved from his mighty intellect the assertion that Baldy Wil liams was a railroad monopolist and tnat Cleveland s administration was no administration at all, only, so to speak j an interregnum between Arthur and Harrison. , ' When the sage got through," one Ore ws, colored, found that , he too was loaded, but Charlie Reynolds kicked, and Oews took a back seat. Directly he felt that he couldn't stand it any longer and again mounted the stand to get off that speech, and then the ' row began. Sharp words were exchanged between the chairman and a delegate and the howl continued. Finally chairman Bilbro ordered the negro off the stand and he sat down. r Crews again mounted the stand and tried to get off his speech, but he was set down on by the chairman. - An immense wrangle then. ensued and there were threats of quitting the party and kicking it to pieces. Then A. S. Holt got off his speech and being" fruitful in illustration he talked about "cat-ball," "marbles," and "strong butter and cheese," with out troubling himself much about ap propriateness or application. Again Crews mounted the stand and this time ne succeeded in shooting off his mouth. , j The committee on credentials and permanent organization then reported in favor of Dr. John Smith, of Rock ingham county as permanent chair man, and W. T. RiVgs, of Granville, and O. A. Starbuck, of Guilford, sec retaries. Nominations were declared in order and the fun began again. Lineberry, of Fcrsyth, placed in nomination the name.of Rufe Amis, of Granville, and in his speech stated that "iifBrower, was nominated, For syth would give; Baidy Williams 450 majority. - , v L. J. Norman, of Surry, nominated the -name J. M. Brower. Josh Murrow, of Guilford, was nom inated by.A. A. Hinton, but with drew his name. Brower's nomination, as well as that of Amis, was seconded by negroes. A ballot was had and it resulted in the nomination of Brower by the following vote : Brower 12, Amis 7 and Adams 2. On motion of a negro from some where, Brower's nomination was made unanimousi: Brower was called for and spoke for sometime. ' He said the reason why he appointed ' Webb census supervisor was because; he was the only applicant. He skipped over the reasons why he didn't appoint negroes to office. He made the roob howl when he told how he would carry their banner to victory. TRESl4 FROM THE PRESS. ; - V:' State and General Items of Interest .from Today's Papers.
