of enfranchising all the citizens of the State.
Beverly Nash, negro, said it would be one of the
most glorious acts of the convention-a fitting cul-
mination to its work.
F. L. Cardoza, negro, thought the convention
could afford to be liberal and magnanimous, and
that such course would materially strengthen the
party at home and abroad. He called tor the yeas
and nays on the motion to postpone indefinitely.
G. II. Rainey, negro, Of Georgetown, believed
would be appreciated, and he hoped to see reso-
luton which embodied so much Of nobleness, gene
rosity and good will to the people fthe State pass
unanimously.
i The question being taken, the motion to indeG-
nitey postpone was decided in the negative by the
| large vote Of yeas q, nays Y.
