The Washington Express, sketching the

were formally announced, says:

requested him not to make any such remarks
In future.
The great feature Of the evening, however,
was the presence Of the negro delegate from
North Carolina. His name Is ]. d. Harris, a
delegate in the Chicago Convention from the
Fourth District Of North Carolina, late mem

THE SOUTHERN DELEGATES AT CHICAGO BOUGHT

A Chicago correspondent Of the New York
World writes:
A committee advocating the claims Of Ger.
delegation, and after stating their business,
were told by the chairman, in the presence OF
the whole delegation, that these candidates
have got to do something before they would
vote for them. we are poor and want money,
was the constant story. In fact the carpet
baggers were looking after their rations, and
we're determined to have them.
A friend of Wade went to one OF the Florida
delegation and asked him to support Wade
The Flerida delegate wanted to know what
Wade would do for him. "Why," says ne, II

corruption resolution, and yet resorts to the
purchase of votes at it's national convention.
A delegation from one State composed Of
fourteen, in which there were three negroes, it

votes $3.50, and they voted on all subsequent
ballots Just ss he wanted them.
