We are not competent 70 represent The
State in the National Convention. They
have made us competent TO put them In
ONCE, and wo can put ourselves in Office
Just as well. There will be no white Re.
pubiicans in this State If you will take
away the odices. They will do as Ensor

Lawson, Of Sumter, interrupted, and
wanted 20 know if Mobiey Was going to
keep up his blab all night?

but he thought he had more sens, than
to interrupt gentleman while speaking.
Clinton, of Lancaster, replied 70 Mob.
ley, and said that Medley objected 10 the
nominations because he was not nomina.
ted himself. The majority of the Con.
vention was not in favor Of Mobley, aud
when he found it apparent that he was
not the choice, he was opposed to any
nomination and retired In order TO re-
tard this Convention.
Mobley said ,1e had letter from A. q.
Wallace, and he asked him to show it.
Mobley handed the letter 70 Clinton and
asked him if he could read. Clinton
handed 1t to a. 8. Wallace, when Mob.
ley told him that he wanted him tClin.
tony 70 read it and not his master. Gin.

Giostor Holland, of Aiken, said that if
the statements made by Mobley were true,
and the letter shown by him was true
copy of. one written BY Wallace. there
was some underhand trick to sell out the
colored people, and it should be exposed
and stopped. He was in favor of an in
vestigation. IF Wallace. wrote it, in
Gods name put. him down. If he was
not guilty he ought to have Justice done
him. :. bss j.5.g.f,i.5
