C May 1-It w" after noon before the Republican taw con tention assembled lni Metropolitan bait Th Interior wai well decorated, by Pr. Warren Vines Hall,; entirely In th national color, , while a monster portrait of President McKlnley waa ' displayed over the center of the stage. lath seats were all the old whiu Re publican wlra pullers, Ther were not many new 'face. The negro delegates dropped In rather (lowly. There waa a demonstration w1en Senator Pritchard Appeared and took" a teat In the rear of iui stage." There was eo.uarppIus wnen .tsmes a dvju uw.w. right and left. v 'i ; - At 11:20 the convention waa called to order by Slate Chairman A. E. Holton and Rev. Dr. D. A. Long of Graham prayed. He recited the Lord's prayer and called on the delegate to loin, ' but only a few joined. W. 8. Hyama read the call. Chairman Holton said he waa very glad to salute the finest con vention ever assembled lit ' this hall. Holton plunged at once Into a eulogy Of President McKlnley, as great In peace and war, and of the prosperity of the country. The convention ap plauded loudly as Holton read the speech. McKlnley' name was one to conjure with. Holton dwelt on, what be termed "Democratic blight." lie said that If the senate were not safely Republican for the aeit six years the candidacy of Bryan "would bang Ilka a pall over the country." Holton then took op slat politics, of course dwelling on the franchise amendment nd the election1 law. " ' Holton called Z. V. miser to preside ae temporary chairman. The tatter said when be looked at the delegates he knew that Democracy waa doomed tn North Carolina. He said that 100.000 people wera going to rise up and put the Democratic party ( In its grave; that this waa a time for frlm work. He said the "hot breath of the people" would a little later scorch the Demo crati, and that the Republicans we going to sava the Democrats from themselves. - The slogan tn the ' cam , reign, he shouted, will be "Liberty." He declared that there were M,000 " white Republicans, 10,000 or more Pop ulists, and estimated that 10.000 Dem ocrats would vote With them against the amendment, making an army 100, 000 strong. ' The committee on credentials was named as follows: J, C, Meektns, Jr., J, H. Hannan, R. L. Hancock, L. L. Renn, S. A. Hoakins, D. A. Husted, 11. C; Cowlea. D. A. Davis, J. C. Cooper. It was announced that there Were only three counties unrepresented, and only one contest from Wayne ance raised quite a disturbance, De Ing half Intoxicated, and there were cries of "Put him out!" The chairman rapped for order. A policeman came to Jake Smith out. but other delegates promised Bmlth should be1 quiet). t Senator Pritchard went on to ssy that 13 per cent, of the people of North Carolina were Illiterate, and that therefore that per cent wouia oe ais- , nlinnnmL i fntnehtm-d. Then he made the equally OUggebllUII I HH UUilUUMiue absurd assertion mat aunng me nun the Democrats were In power they had added 1000 Illiterates each year.. He got rome applause by saying that the great "error" to whlih Aycock had re ferred was the failure of the Demo crats to- vote .for . Republicans. The senator elicited great cheers for Mc Klnley by speaking of him as "the advice agent of prosperity." He de clar3 that the legislature of 1869 had enacted more unconstitutional legisla tion than any on record. He said he proposed to go Into as many counties as poseiblo and discuss this question. He had been In Richmond county and found the white people there opposed to the amendment. He told the ne groes that this question was one lor the white people to settle; that they would settle It and deprive no man of his vote. He assured th convention that Its nominee for governor 1 would certainly be elected. ,. .', - There were shouts for Boyd as soon as the Pritchard applause had died away, and the band played the "Star Spangled Banner." Boyd got an ova tion. He expressed his pleasure at be ing here' with Iheloyal ,nrTatr1otic people of the state and then eulogised his party, saying It had never deprived a citlien of his liberty or stuffed a ballot bo. r MADISON MAN. V 4 There was a call by Nat. Hoyden of Surry fur Pritchard and after ap plause the latter spoke, He said the greatest emergency the Republican party had aver faced was ahead of It In North Carolina. He said the object waa the overthrow, of the rights of the Common people and that the amend ment waa but the beginning of the end. He saM he proposed to reply to some of the points In the speech of his friend. O. U. Aycock, who, he said, It was an honor to have Aycock as a friend, but that he would never be elected governor. He asserted that there was no dangnr of negro domina tion In North Carolina. He declared that an antl-IHtmocratlo legislature had enacted laws which would prevent negro domination. He asserted that no white Republican wanted such domination and that no negro advoca . ted It unless some Democrat had fur nished money to Influence him. He de manded to know In what county in the east any Investors had lost money. (At this stsge a Vance negro delegate said: l want you to tell why you would not appoint a negro postmaster In Vane county. The senator. Ignored the question). He declared that tht man agement of finances by fuslontsla was In sU respects far superior to the Dem- DEFINITION OF A POET vutain iotn in tne state and in Editor The Cltlxen: The time ha coma When the" people of this senato rial district should be looking fur a man or men, to represent them In the neit atate senate. It has been a cus tom for Madison and Haywood to al ternate in the selection of a candidate for the senate, and for Buncombe to stlect one each term. This is only I custom, hot a law It 14 generally urn derstool and acquiesced In by the peo ple that if a representative of a county or district does his duty and represents bis people acceptably he should be re turned as an endorsement by his con- Mtltufchts ofTflTleglgiattve wuise. - Now, who Is the most avallabhynan to represent us.? Who Is , the best man? Who can undoubtedly be elected? Who can poll more votes than any other man In the district'.' Whd has had experience? And who has been tried and found all right? It Is needless to nam htm. Everyone knows who he Is. There Is not a Dem ocrat in the district but will answer, Tom Murray. He ran ahead of the legislative and congressional ticket In every county In the district In 1S98, getting about 300 more votes than Crawford. He carried Prltchard's township ' in 118s by 1 votes, though the senator was on the ground doing all In hla power to defeat htm, and that township is known to be over 100 Re publican. , There la no question that Tom Mur- ray's nomlnstlon would strengrnen the whole ticket, especially tn Madi son county.. His nomination or en dorsement by Buncombe for renomlna tlon would gladden the heart of every Democrat in Madison, and would dis courage and make sick every partisan radical In the county. H made the canvass in bis county for'sheritt when no other Democrat was willing to be sacrificed and was defeated by less than 200 votes. If nominated he will certainly he elected, and will carry with him expe rience at a senator that -will be valua- ISLAND OF ST HELENA lW" t0 nli ef"stlt,nl- He was one of lliU ilea I ucr -vi vi kci w cassia " most popular and Influential senators In the last state senate. He was a member of some of the most Impor tant committees, such as education, agriculture, etc., and performed his duties faithfully and well. It seems to me that a man who has done so much for his party, and whose election Is beyond question, especially when this district is so close and when this flght is going to be made by the fuaionlsts for the leglslatve ticket, that Buncombe county should name Tom Murray as her candidate for the rtxt state senste. There are many other reasons why Buncombe should name him to represent her. His selec tion would be good common sense and good politics. He has no enemies, and no faction would knife him on election day; and I urge upon the voters of Buncombe county to be generous, 'and let all aspirants for tho place, If there are any in Buncombe, smother their aspirations tor the good of the party, not only In this district, but for the good of the amendment, and nomi nate Madison county's sure winner, for all 4ha. powers of darkneas, and all the radicalism tn the state, which In clude the world, the flesh and the dev il himself cannot defeat him. Let Haywood give him a good run ning mate,, and their election is assur ed,, thereby Insuring two senators from the west In the next senate. Tom Murray stands with every foot on the Democratic platform and for the amendment. He believes In the peo ple, la of the people. Is loved by the people, and Is the choice of the people.
