ofJack county; Col. Bob Campbell of
III Paso. Preference not ascertained.
There is noticeable indisposition
on the part of the national delegates to
| give vent to their personal preferences
| Tor the possible presidential candi-
dates. 1t seems clear that in the face
of the Blaine enthusiasm shown on
the convention floor yesterday, these
| delegates assume caution If thew
favor other than the man from Maine.
Every conceivable combination was
made on the states last night for dele
gates at large. Not few chose to
think that the prominence of Binkley,
Malloy, DeGress, Dilley, Norton and
several Others is such that they will of
necessity fill out the four positions to
the total exclusion of the colored broth.
er; but 1T was equally as certain that
the admittance Of the Malloy delega.
ton by the committee on credentials
as was decided last night
would precipitate to-day the
expected disatiection ofthe colored
members. In the event of the filing
OF minority report by part of the
committee on credentials, the Quincy
faction contemplate seeking a hearing
oeiore the convention, and the strength
lying behind the Quincy party suggests
blood on the moons face.n So yari-
GUS were the states suggested and com
binations made that all seemed at sea
ana Representations impossible. One
thing seemed clear enough.
however; the colored man
and brother is in danger of
getting severely left somewhere and
the color line will not down even Mt
the rhetorical bidding of the several
iiuent speakers of yesterday.
COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS.
the committee on credentials was to
nave met at the Mansion hotel, but
owing 10 the crowded condition of
spacious apartments rendered by Mr..
John Hoffman over his saIonn
the Merchants Exchange. Hare
the committee met ond
proceeded to call the counties al.
alphabetically and when the county Of
Dallas was reached it was announced
mat only one representative of each of
the contesting delegations would bead
mltted. 1t was also decided that oral
testimony outside of that furnished hv
the representative would NOT he
admitted, and this at once decided the
rate OF the outs. Loud and fervent
protestations were heard on all sides
at the Injustice of these proceedings
winch were termed high-handed nv
the milder element. The colored man
saw at glance that the matter had
neen cut and dried, and that in the |
God and morality party his cake was

seen that while only ons e
uelegate was admitted TO represent
each contestlng district, Gen. Msllow
was seen walking out of the Committee

their discrimination to stop shak;no
