Hampton was good man. They thought
they would fool hin, as they had fooled US.
But, thank God, Hampton was too smart
for thom.
Stand to your manhood, colorod mcnl
Stand together. Evory raoe on earth
sticks together. Even tho stupid gceso
etick together. Why should not we staud
by our raoef A few days ago these mon
were tnlking loudly for Grant and Sherman
and Blaine, and now after wo passed that
resolution to-day thoy arc silent Grant men
aud if you send thom to Chicago they will
sell you out aud leave the State until the
next election. He hoped the Convention
would not elect Pointer. He did not know
what penitentiary he had como out Of.
They say We are not competent to represent
the State in the National Convention.
They have made Us competent to put them
10 otfice, aud we can put ourselves in office
just as we'll
There will be no white Republican in
this State if you take away tho offices.
They will do as Ensor and Stobrand and
lots of others have douo You say you
want to send respectable delegation, and
yet you send such men as these barroom
suckers, gamblers and dissipatcd scoundrels
to represent your people. The poor men
in tho Democratic party arc making all the
nominations. Why can't wo do tho
same?
Lawson, Of Sumter, interrupted and
wanted to know if Moblcy was going to
keep up his blab all night7
Mobloy courtoously replied that Lawson
always had been mule headed mule, but
ho thought he had moro sense than to
interrupt gentleman while speaking.
Clinton, of Lancaster, replied to Mobey,
and said that Mobley objected to tho nomi-
nation because ho was not nominated him
self. Tho majority of tho convention was
not in favor of N1obley, and when he found
it apparent that he was not the choice, he
was opposed to any nomination and re-
tired in order to rctard this convention.
Nlobley said he had letter from A. S.
Wallaoc, and he asked him to show it.
Nlobley handed the letter to Clinton and
asked him if ho could read. Clinton
handed it to A. S. Wallace, when Mobcy
told him that lie wanted him (Clintop) to
read it and not his master. Clinton said
Nlobloy was not the man to represent tho
Fourth district or any other, or any county
in tho district. The nominations mado by
tho Fourth district caucus were made after
careful consideration, aud the mcn named
arc worthy 10 every respect Of tho trust
delegated to them. They are the choice
of tho Fourt.l district, and he appealed to
tho convention to sustain the nomnu-
ton.
G. W. Wade, Of Union, nominated G.
G. Macoy, of Chester, "! ich motion was
tabled.
Nlobley moved to strike ont the name of
Pointer and submit the election of tho
other delegates to the convention. The
motion was tnblcd.
Glostcr Holland, of Aiken, said that if
the statements made by Nloblcy were true,
and the letter shown by him was true
copy Of ono written 3y Wallace, there was
some undcrhand trick to sell out the color
cd people, and it should be exposed and
stopped. lie was ip favor of an nvcs,iga-
tion. If Wallace wrote it, 10 God namc
put him down. IL ho was not guilty he
ought to have justice done him.
