About one-third of the delegates were colored,
and some of them took an intelligent interest in
the convention. The proceedings were not en-
tircIy harmonious, the contest for delegates being
between the "ins' and "outs," or between the
occ-holdcrS and the anti-custom house wing of
| the party. The latter were successful.
No nominations were made for the county Off
ces, and some diversity of opinion seemed to ex-
| list among the delegates in relation to the matter
| Many of them thought that the party could be
| kept together in better shape for the Presidential
contest of 1880, if a straight-out Republican tick.
| ct were nominated Others favored calling O
mass meeting at Churchville, and nominating
a mixed ticket, made up of Democrats, Republi
cans, Temperance men, Taxpayers, NC, with the
hope that some of the regular Democratic cand
dates might thereby be defeated. There wcrt
Others who opposed the placing of any ticket il
the field, and thought such q course would en-
courage the running of Independent Democratic
candidates, to that detriment of the party.

The Republican primary was held in this place
on Saturday last, and was largely attended. About
sixty votes taken, and it was almost as excit-

long.
