About hAlfPast four the nominee for
Temporary chsiTman sseshdsl the ToslFum,
sHd tapping his knueklss EsnIiy upon the
desk, proclaimed that the Convention
should ssms 10 order, and they ordered, A
action vas thea maie, seconded ail put,
that Mr., whiimors be the Temporary fresl-
deaf, upoA which fvE Teisi AYE, and =
motion followed 20 make some one sesTs'
lATy for the organization, A. this PaiRi,
the l.i0h, for that be is such Ia the eyes of
the negroes l. too palPabls, through slesp
or inallsAlioh not having witnessed the
preceding, rose, aud in a speech 81 twenty
minutes stated that Mr.. WhilmoTe had been
nominated by the Republicans Chairman
for the "ifupeFaTg Organisation, stating IL
thus six or eight times, aud supposed Il
must be right, bat that their opponents,
though feW in number, had y right 10 be
heard, and that Mr.. whilmore had no right
10 occupy the position until he was regu'
larry nominated ia Convention, and voted
for the Conservatives having the right 10
nominate their man for the position and
vote for hin. when he was through, he
was Informed that this had been done and
the motion to make a temporary Secretary
was carried, Mr.. , delegate, being
chosen.
Now everything was ready, everybody
was seated. had been round north Of the
aisle aud had greeted our own noble dele
CATCHES full.blooded Morgan slook-the
delegate from Harrison, Judge Lindsey,
Judge Caldwell, the delegate from kauf-
man, Sc, Sc, ill my eyes fell upon Old
Jack, whom love to honor for what he
has been aud what lie is capable Of being
still; but, although caught his eye some
twice or thrice, he turned away as drew
near, and did not seem inclined to speak.
So fell in with Mr.. Flanagan, sr,, OF
Rusk, noxt the aisle on thesouih, and there
found the other Hamilton, Davis, Jack
Evans, Leopard and the negroes, nine in
number, three to our right, in front two,
and Leopard on our right-luby on the
outside, Leopard next, and then another
negro, and all the row in our rear filled
with our sable brethren, four in number.
The Conservatives occupy tho extreme
north, and black cloud overhangs them
negroes in the gallery-gallery full OF
freedmen.
And now nominations for President are
in order. Morgan nominatcs l.. j. Davis;
Jack dominates c. Caldwell-Vote: Davis,
43; Caldwell, 49, Flanagan, l. Somebody
Else, il Blank, lone more than there
were members present, there being only rs.
| thought saw that done, and just when !
expected it This was all nice, amicable
and understood, and Judge Caldwell, Jack
Evans, and some one from Houston county,
conducted the President TO the chair, when
he buried himself in that chair, n seat SO
huge shat it would seem as if they expected
giants or larger beasts Of some kind than
these to occupy it-loohs more like it was
made for IN elephant than man.
Judge W. V. Tunstall Of Anderson, was
elected Secretary, over Mr.. Paschal, of
Austin. You'd better believe they all wish
they were Morgan stock now.

There is much growing among the ne
groes about being defeated for office, just
as expected. They are very forward, and
those in the Convention not ut all back
ward, not even modest. Ruby making
himself quite conspicuous. When was at
the Secretary's desk getting the list of
officers, Ruby came and made the same in
quiry and got his list. He asked me what
paper l was representing | told him the
Dallas Herald was printed in ny town. He
said it was o fine paper, though strongly
opposition. | told him it was conducted
by mighty good man. Yes, he said, the
paper evnced brains more than many did
in q better cause. This was Ruhy-and
my first interview. In personal appear
ance tho negro delegates are about an nv
erage of their race.
There are twelve Conservatives, or that
many who make such pretensions, and
among them are Judge l.. ID. Evans. He
is not here yet, and should he get here and
is truly Conservative, some very interest
ing and important questions will besprung
upon the Convention.
The Conservatives, so far, are without
parliamentary man.
Everything is remarkably quiet, and
think the Convention will go on most har.
moniously. think all Radicals will fall
into the views Of the extremists very read
lily, and most likely will be prompted to
that course by the Commanding General.
A great many of them though will become
Disguised with the familiarity Of the ne
groes.
But the worst feature Of all is the eternal
whispering. All groups talk in subdued
whisper, that savors Of dishonest pur-
pose and dark and damning designs. Hon
est men speak out, especially on matters
that should equally interest all.
