vides for the allotment of lands in severalty

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
The Facts as TO the e"FiriBg 0ui'' OF shaw

The Vote by which the shelby County
RepudfafOrs Were Rejected.

To the Editors of the Appeal;
Two editorials in the AraLancSe of Saturday
do injustice TO the Republican State Conven-
tion, as well as to two distinguished gentle
men who participated in it. In the first it ia
stated editorially that Mr.. Maynard was to
have been chairman until it was heard that
he was in favor of admitting the Shaw dele
CATION from Shelby. Now, that Mr.. Maynard
ever expressed any opinion on this subject
or knew anything about it until the
reports were made from the Com
mittee on Credentials is news to those
who were there; and that Mr.. Maynard would
have favored the admission of delegates on
the Shaw platform is incredible. Besides,
chsirman has nothing to do with the ques-
tion OF admitting delegates. He cannot con-
troll il in any way. He does not even appoint
the committees; but the delegates from each
district select their own men,
bers of the committees. And the fact IL,
that the Shelby delegation who were adj
nitted were the most desirous of having Mr..
as chairman

does great injustice TO Judge Butler, and to
the convention. II is stated that there was a
strong element in the convention opposed TO
Hawkins, which only lacked leader, and
had the Shaw delegation been admitted
Hawkins would not have been nominated
Now, there was no perceptible opposition.
OF course a few delegates would have pre-
ferred others. But the feeling for Hawkins
was SO strong that no one asked for a
ballot, and there were no negative votes
How could the forty votes from Shelby
have changed this? Certainly wonderful
leadership is accorded by the Ara
Ianche to Shaw, if he: could have changed
this result. Then it is said that Butler
feared the admission of this delegation
would ave this effect, and "fred out the reg
ular delegation" Now, Judge Butler is an
able man, and stands by his party nominee.
But it is we'll known that he was not enthu-
sIastic for Hawkins Besides, he had moth
ing whatever to do with excluding the dele
cation. The Committee on Credentials was
not appointed by him. He had only to put
the vote and announce the result. No one
who was there and heard the vote doubted
the result. The Nashville World says that
"the minority report was tabled, and the
majority adopted almost unanimously" The

copying from the american. In this there
are many errors. 1t is stated that the Com
mittee on Credentials stood three to four.
The fact is it stood three to seven. And the
minority report required the delegation, be-
fore admission, TO pledge themselves to stand
on the State platform and support the nomi-
nee. OF course they would not have made
this pledge if they were honest in their
action here at home. Then. again, the pro-
test says they were excluded by a majority
of twelve in a vote OF 400. No count was
made, but as the World says the vote was
almost unanimous, judging from the sound,
it is thought the vote was about 400 for ex-
clusion to twelve-the excluded delegates
themselves. With the exception of these
excluded Memphis men, there was not
a whisper of reputation. Several
colored men addressed the convention,
all taking the highest State-credit position,
and one from Haywood) denouncing in
strong language the idea that colored men
should vote against paying the debt because

Some time since we wrote an
 article concerning the future pro-
 lection and welfare of these peO-
 pie. An agent in the employ
 of the Interior Depart rlment passed
 through in September last and assured us that upon his return
 to Washington he would call the attention of the Departm ent 10 the necessities and wants of this
 neglected people. We again ask our delegate to give this matter some attention. It has been the
 policy of the Government to al-
 ways aid these tribes O. indians
 who were unfriendly to the whites, and as a known fact that peaceful tribes have ever been neglected. The Yumas have ever heen the friends of our peO- pie, and why not send them as sIstence. In the recent Apache outhre K, some of this tribe were the first volunteers as scouts, and proved themselves efficient and friends. With a sm ,lI appropri- alton in the hands of an honest local agent, much good can be accomplished for these people and We trust that our delegate will give this matter his atten- tion, in connection with his State scheme,

 an administrator had an order to
