of our best and most truly representative
Republicans of each race-four white and

!" Second. That new senatorial ticket
be nominated, and we recommend that the

Mansfield" III -s. .-
In accordance with motions made all over
the house, the report was unanimously re-
ceiFed. --z ~.
A motion was then made for its adoption;
which, however, caused great deal of
debate.
Bowe (negro) thought if the convention
which assembled on the sth had done their
business as well as this one is doing he
would not be here now.
Young Hobson said that upon their work
to-day hung the fate of the Republican
party in Virginia. The white vote in the
city was largely increased, while the CO.
bred majority Of the county had been very
much reduced. He hoped the convention
would cordially adopt this as the only ticket
which will command the support Of the Re
publicans. ,- .r~''.. I'd.
THE COUNTY REBELLIoUs.
Hall (negro) said that the colorcd men of
Hennerracker didn't intend to be ruled by
new converts. All we ask is jestiss. Well
have our rights or we viii withdraw from
this Convention. We must have our full
quota Of delegates in the House of Dele
gates. .... .ss - ...
Other delegates deprecated these threats,
and asked for harmony. ... ...
a negro delegate said that Major Anna
bic did not represent the Republicans of his
district in the county Of Henrico, and no
colored man of that county would give him
his vote. They didn't want him, and they
wouldn't have him. ... ~
Another negro was proceeding to give his
views on the subject, when he gave way to
Mr.. Gillis to make o motion to adopt the
committees report so far as it related to
nominees in the city, and the others be re-
ferred to the convention.
Vaughan (negro), from Henrico, spoke
in the interest of Major Annable, saying
that many white Virginny-mans was going
to vote for him, and he strongly advocated
his claim.
Old Methusaleh said that the county of
Hennerracker couldn't git jistiss here. How
could she with thirty-six against twelve
Let Richmond put in her men, and then LET
Hennerracker put in hers. We will all
ratify them together and work in harmony
William 7. Baily (white) offered the
following as o substitute to the motion Of
Mr.. Gillis:
"ReSolued, That the report SUBMITTED
by the committee be adopted, with the ex'
ception of the name of Major Annable, and

AT IT AGAIN.
Old Methuselah was again, for the tenth
time tonight, on his feet, and urgently
requested the delegates from Henne-
rackcr" to withdraw from the Convention
and nominate their own candidates. The
ticket passed upon didn't represent his
county, and he, for one, wanted jistiss
The tagged gentleman kept on at fear
full rate, notwithstanding numerous and
oft-repeated calls to order. He said that
if the county did not get the candidates
which she wanted, then the Publican party
and the State of Virginia was gone. Tho
members from Henrico stood up boldly and
manfully for what they contended were
their rights, and would not yield single
inch until overruled by the overwhelming
majority of the city.
A COMPROMISE.
Upon motion, the delegates from Henricc
were allowed to retire ten minutes for the
purpose of deciding between the names Of
Major Annable and William Canada.
A resolution was offered deploring the
dropping of the name Of Zincke, which was
ruled out of order.
Some dissatisfaction was exhibited at thil
action of the meeting-members saying
that they did not "want to be muzzled il
this way" ......-.. ... p.
A motion was made to reconsider the vot,
of the committee, but it was not put.
RULED HIM OUT.
It was noticed, and called to the atten

During the absence of the Henrico dele

to 90 and look after them. This COMMITTEES
went out, and was absent 80 long that i
was suggested that another committee b.

to return Immediately to the hall, and th'
Convention took the matter again undel
