REPUBLICANS IX SESSION
THEIR STATE CONVENTION
IN PROGRESS HERE.
Chalrman Eaves Says the Popu
lists are Enemies to Civil
Liberty.
At 12:15 this afternoon chairman
John B. Eaves called the republican
tat convention to order, and James
H. Young read the chairman's call for
it. Mr. Eaves said he was greatly
pleased to see, on winding up bis six
years of duty as chairman, such a
convention. The question was as to
whether the party would live. There
was a difference of opinion. He
wanted to see the party place itself on
high grounds. He had no apology
to make to any one. He said that he
opposed Jhe calling of the committee
together to dictate a policy; as he
wanted the rank and tile to do that.
He said the state committee was loyal,
because it refused to meet and discuss
the great issue of coalition with the
populists. It. is called co-operation,
but it all means the same thinir.
He ssid his county Rutherford
was uere to vote for fusion, lie
Uowea to its will, tie said tlie ques
tion was as to whether this convention
would . endorse the populist conven
tion work. He said he opposed all
that that conference had done.
When the republican parly did as it
was proposed to do, delegate its homes
to a party which was opposed to civil
liberty, he must oppose such ac
tion. He said that he wanted the re
publicans to put up a straight ticket,
all the way, and let the other element
have the ticket it has put up. He de
clared he was honest and right in his
policy. He said he would soon retire
He wanted no tearing out of names
There is friction enough in the state
now, and after this convention adjourns
there will be more of it. He thanked
leaders, though many of them had
attacked him, he had treated all at
tacks with silence. In conclusion, he
called K. A. Johnson, colored, of
Wake, as temporary chairman. Eaves
was very mildly applauded. Johnson
was escorted to the chair by H. P
Cheatham and V. S. Lusk. Johnson
i Hacked the national democratic ad
uinist ration and said that never be
fore was there such a clamor for the
restoration of republicans to office
He declared the convention ready for
business. The floor of Metropolitan
hall was at this time about two-thirds
full f delegates. John H. William
son said that many counties were not
represented and that persons in some
cases held proxies for several coun
ties. Chairman Johnson said he
thought proxies should not be allowed
but that the credentials committee
would dispose of this matter. It was
announced that. there were contests in
several counties.
The following were announced as
the committee on credentials: C, S.
Brown, R. J. Perry, W W. Lawrence
F. M. Sorrell, S. B. Satterfleld, J. M
Good H. C. Cowles and J. M. Brower

The committee was out a long time.
H. C. Cowles was it chairman. There
were seven contests and a good deal
of bad blood. A white man from Pitt
raised quite a row on the stage when
the committee sat, and wanted to fight.

who was nominated yesterday for
from this district. He is
. .
"o nanaoipn county.
H said that
whatever might be the views taken by
the part to attain a certain end, no
one could question the sincerity of
the party. He had himself had doubts
a to this policy, but he had no doubt
all woul.d gracefully acquiesce in the
action of the iMiiiveutinn. There was
only one thing to do and that was to
defeat democracy. He said he wanted j
eoalition with populists aud not with
machine democrats. He said the only
campaign documents needed to damn
the democracy were the speeches of
Tom Johnsou and Bourke Cochran and
president Cleveland's letter. It was
unnecessary, said the speaker, for
him to hold up the democratic party
for public execution.
James E. Boyd was called on to I
speak and the convention showed its
first enthusiasm when he took the
stand. He said he had come here to
see North Carolina wrenched from
the grasp of an incompetent demo
cracy. He said the republican party,
with its great heroes, Garfield and
Grant and Lincoln, was the legitimate
successor of the great whig party.
He said the Lord, "moving in a rays.
terious way, His wonders to perform,"
had delivered this government to the
democrats so the people could see how
incompetent they were. He said the
duty had been put on sugar because
poor white people and negroes had no
business having sugar at. a cents a
pound. He said the tax has also been
raised on whiskey, and that the dem
ocrats in the state convention had de-
la red the revenue tax ought to be
repealed if the country could do with
out it. -
He said that no matter how the
election went the Democrats would
win, as they would count the others
out. He said that in his part of the
state elections were free and the votes
were counted, and that "the time was
coming when the Lord would put his
hand on the democrats and there
would be free elections and a fair
count all over the state.
George H. White.eolored, the so
licitor from the second district, was
the next speaker. He said that for 18
years votes in that district had not
been counted, but the delegates here
were determined to tear democracy
from the place, and power it had
usurped in North Carolina. He took
occasion to eulogize Senator Vance as
a great and grand man.
It was 8:30 o'clock when the creden
tials committee reported through Jas.
H. Young. It was only a partial re-
port, in which the contested counties
were not embraced. The report was
adopted,
go into
An effort was made then to
a permanent ; organiza-
tion. Chairman Johnson ruled
that the' permanent organization
could not be effected until all
the credentials were reported on
From this ruling H. G. Ewart ap
pealed. Quite a dispute arose on this
point, in which J. C. L. Harris took
the most prominent part, antagonizing
the chairman. The latter said that
Mr. Harris did not know how many
counties were .represented or whether
there was a quorum or not. While this
dispute was in progress the committee
came in with its suppplemental report
A delegate from Durham then stepped
on the stage and read a resolution re
gal ding the death of W. A. Albright,
and asked the convention to adopt it.
This was done. Col. Albright was a
delegate to this convention.
This was a contest right here be-
tween the fusion and anti-fusion ele-
mentsof the convention, Johnson be-
ing an "anti." The credentials com-
mittee made two reports, one recom-
mending that several counties which
elected delegates who were not citi-
zens of those counties be thrown out.
The minority report favored seating
these delegates. A warm discussion
then arose. It is said that the casting
of votes by proxy was not allowable
under the plan of organizations. J.
M. Moody antagonized V. S. Lusk, the
latter living in Buncombe but being a
delegate from Trannsvlvania
The vote was taken on the adoption
of the minority report. It was adopt-
ed, 151 to 84. A motion was tnen
adopted that all contesting delegates
be given seats. This prevailed. -
Hon. Oliver H, Dockery, of Rich
mond county was at 4:50 o'clock
elected permanent ohairman by accla
mation
