Here a spat ensued between Capt Me

assertions.
Metcalfe said, awe haven't come here
10 draw distinctions"
+, S. Tuthill replied, "Well, We will"
Metcalte insisted on speaking, anC
Thomas requested him to make his speech
short and sweet. Hesaid something about
the Republican party, when Tuthill sung
out, eve don't recognize you as in the Re
publican party"
Metcalfe asserted that he only supported
Ogden as good man, and not as an OPP
poser of Trimble.
DR.. Sparkling thought the question of a
mans opposition to any candidate ought
not to be brought before the convention.
Thomas did not know whether Ogden
opposed Trimble. Mr.. Trimble was not a
legitimate subject for criticism in the con-
vention.
Metcalfe emphatically differed with
Thomas, and limited at the result of the
election.
Thomas declared that Trimble was "not
to be beaten by such boilers as you"
Metcalfe thought that matter would be
decided in August

Watkins, colored, who had started the row,
meekly said that he only wanted to know
If he had right to ask whether man be-
fore the convention supported Frimble
Metcalfe threw himself back in his chair
and growled: Run your packed machine,
then"
Murphy, eolored, thought such questions
should not be brought before the conven-
ton.
Allen McTeer, colored, DR.. Wood, col
Ored, and Metcalfe then eased themselves,
and Col. Irwin placed A. S. Chadbourne in

A vote was then taken. Ogden re-
ceived 63, and l04 were sent in against
him, the Trimble men voting in body
in opposition.

Mason here threw in some hot shot, and
offered resolution expressing the prefer

the Fisk school, as candidate for Superin-
tendent of Education.
Thomas abruptly moved to lay the resC-
luton upon the table. Carried.
Thomas paced up and down excitedly,
muttering Rebel army" Metcalfe, OBJ
serving his wrath, grinned sardonically,
and said in chuckling tone, ooh, now,
you buzz around, will you"
An address from Carey, the nominee for
Senator, being next in order, that gentle
