mittees on credentials will please hand their
credentials to the secretary This they
obedisntly did after which the
committee on credentials retired
to one of the back rooms.
Capt. Wright move that the tempo.
rary organization be made permanent"
Thistlewood- 1.-THE committee on Gre
dentials should first make its report before
such motion is entertained"
A colored man 81 move that commit
tee be appointed on permanent organiza-
ton" This motion was seconded after
which Mr.. Planert, one of the delegates,
arose and said few words in an inaudible
tone Of voice and then the chairman put
the colored gentleman's motion to the
house. Being unable to decide whether
the motion was lost or carried, he called
for division of the house, which revealed
the fact that the coored gentleman had
been overwhelmingly sat down
upon and the motion was
declared lost.
The committee on credentials still beng
absent from the room and there being no
business before the convention the specta-
tors had chance to look about them and
ascertain who was present and who was alb
sent and they were not long in making the
discovery that L. s. Marshal, the Fourth
ward coffin maker, notwithstanding the
fact that he appeared minus his
coat and vest, was occupying
prominent position within the enclosure
nevr the secretarys table This, and the
fact that it was known that Mr., NJ. had on
hand large lot of collins of various kinds
and sizes, created the suspicion in the
minds OF many that he was seeking the pc.
sition Of coroner-the position which Is AT
present being so ably and economically
filled by Mr.. Dick Fitzgerald and, as will
be seen hereafter, the suspicious were well
founded. 1t was also observed by the oh
serveing observer that Bill Scott and
his allies were conspicuous in
their absence and that
some man, without the fear Of God before
his eyes had tempered with the hair OF the
secretary elect, since they showed signs Of
some of the kinks having teen taken out Of
them. The everywhere present Squire
Comings was there in a white SUIT and ali
his glory, smiling and bowling at anything
and everything that had breeches on and
made himself, as usual, the observed of all
observers. The busy mind of our city at.
torney showed itself by the industry and
vgor with which he punished" the
weed" and John Gladney's black
bald-head glistened modestly at
the back Of the hall. A hundred
and one more things were taken in by
our reportorial eye in an instant, but we
have no space for them and therefore omit
them. The committee was still absent
when Damron and Warder, candidates for
states attorney, were Justify called, but
neither OF these young men responding at
once, the chairman asked for order and il
being restored Mr.. Damron stepped to the
front while vigorously pulling away at
young moustache which seemed too inno-
cent to deserve such severe treatment. He
commenced his speech with his hands be.
hind him and in quivering voice, saying
that he was young man and that it had
always been his aim, as weak
member of the Republican party, to do the
best he could for it. He had
taken but little stock IN politics until the
campaign Of Hayes and Wheeler, but that
during that time he had excrted himself
for the party in Pulaski county. applause
should have come in here, but none was
given. He had given much attention to
politics since the election OF these gent le-
men Che should have said since they were
wrongfully counted I'M and believed
he had thoroughly investigated the
merits Of each party and having done this,
he had associated himself with the Republi.
can party because he had found it party
OF pride and principles. He unblusMngly
gave voice to the monstrous faIsehood that
the Democratic party had opposed every
thing that could benefit humanity on this
side of the Atlantic and presumed to in
form his intelligent hearers that
the Democratic party--thc party
which has lived longer, accomplished
greater results and which at the last presi-
dental election poled half million more
votes than the Republican party-that this
party was party without principles, and
was merely working for the spoils Of office.
These were some of the remarks of the gen.
tleman made, and We will not trouble the
