COLUMBIA, S. c., April 15.-The Repub-

| morning. Robert Smalls (cOlored) J. Con-
gressman from the Seventh District, was
| chosen temporary Chairman, and upon
taking the chair delivered an address de
nOuncing the Democrats for circumvent-
ing the negro vote by the eight box cleo
tiOn law, and cOndemning the Legisla-
ture for appropriating $4,000 to defend
men for violating the United States laws
in conducting elections to the prejudice of
negro Republican voters. Smalls. in the
course of his remarks, said: E'Think OF it.
This great convention can send eighteen
delegates to Chicago, but they can only
go and vote for the nomination. When
they have done that they come home and
fold their hands. They can do nothing
more. They can vote, but the
ballots will be stolen by Ku KluX
Democrats, the party of violence
and murder. They are bound to
carry the State. Smalls seemed to be
greatly concerned about the fate Of the
revenue officials now under Indictment in
the United States Courts for robbing the
government of its dues and overcharging
fearing that the Democrats would secure
their conviction. The time up to re-
cess was consumed in motions
and debate bearing upon the formation
of the Committee on Credentials. Quite a
number of contests for seats having come
up Miller, mulatto, of Beaufort, and
eX-State Senator, made a speech, in the
course of which he said: ave should
put ticket in the field every election and
make a fight, and even if martyrs seal
our cause with their blood we will gain
victory. "He said that he would adyo-
cate, as Chairman of the State Executive
Committee, thorough organization of
the party. If the party would do this.
depl0rable and damnable as was their
present condition, they would certainly
triumph. 1t might be a decade, but it
would be achieved. At 6:10 O'clock D. m.

IN BAD LUCK.
A Young Man in the City Asking
Aid to Get to St Louis.

A young man giving the name of w. A.
Baker was in the city yesterday asking aid
TO get to 81. Louis. His story, as told to a
BAZoo reporter was as follows:
For q number of years past he had been
out west. The first day in Denver he and
his pardner struck rich lead, and in two
months thereafter were offered $4,000 for
il, but they refused the offer.
They worked it for some lime and made
a pretty good thing out Of it. A little over
a year ago, however, he met with an acct
dent which lai him up. He was standing
over smelling pot and by some means fell
into il, being terribly burned on the back
and one foot, from the effects which he has
not yet recovered.
When a man stakes a claim out west he
must work il for 500 each year or it will
be con6scated and some one else will take
it. When he was burned of course he
could not work and the consequence was
he lost his mine. He was laid up for over
a year and spent all his money for doctor
bills.
His home is in Lowell, Mass, but he has
a brother in 81. Louis, to whom he wishes
TO get. He succeeded In raising a sufficient
amount to get to st. Louis and Officers
McGhee and Fifer bought him a ticket
and sent him on his way last night.
