COLOR.
L. ;. Norton, of York. wanted to know
whether they were all white or all black
men. If white. he wasn't in for it for that
was question of color.
Kclso wanted the privilege Of nominating
Il colored man, and named K. D. Bcckley as
an additional vice-pre>ident.
Lewis Lindsey said he was not here to
argue about color. lie didn't care whether
the man was from Massachusetts or MlSSis-
| Sippl. llc WIS ali anu
appealed to the Conservatives to prove it
Let order be kept in the Convention, or we
will have the police on Us.
Finn spoke strongly and earnestly against
the adoption of the report.
Beckley withdrew his name in favor OF
DoWncy, the nominee from his district.
! Hodges (Unclc Specs was opposed to this
report. lie didn't intend to stand here and
sec this wrong done the Republican party
of the State. The colored people had no
Sheriffs, no magistrates, no cOnstableS, and
he thought it was time for them to assert
their rights. Let us stand together, and
pull together, and make all our interest;
one.
II. Garland moved that all the colored
men in the Convention be made yice-pre>i
dents.

mittee, that the whole matter be referred
back to them.

yention elect eight white men for yice-pre'
Sidents, and protested against referring the
question back to the committee.
Mr.. Porter moved that it be recommitted
with instructions to add eight more vice
presidents so as to include every element
of the Republican party.
Mr.. Flood, Of Amelia, protested against
the discussion of this subject, and moved
the previous question: which was called
and the resolution to refer adopted.
Colonel Jenkins moved that the contest
ing delegates from Norfolk be allowed seats

Sergeants-at-Arms Stevens, of Essex, anC
Alexander Brooks, of Chesterfield.
MORE ABOUT COLOR.
Roberts, of Norfolk, did not regard the
+ color OF Il man. Yhe reason Of the grea
contention in the party in Virginia is thi
question of color. All we want is "trut
republcanism," and he protested against
the adoption of this report.
+. s. Norton was opposed to this method
of bringing in the cOlored people like the
muskrat's tail-behind; and he, if he stood
alone in this hall, would never submit TO il
William r. Brownley moved that bott
reports OF the committee be laid on the ca

The previous question on the adoption o
the report having been called, the vote wa
taken, and it was adopted.
THE BUSINESS BEGINS. {tE
DIR. Porter was then conducted to th'
chair, and in few remarks acknowledged
the compliment paid him, and said tha
action more than words was what is wanted
The compliment paid was not for any meri
of his own, but for the long years Of seryic,
