FIRST DISTRICT REPUBLICANS
Lively SquabbIe, which Results in the
Choice of Two Delegations.

BRUNSWICK, April 2.-The Republican
First District Convention assembled at
noon, with Deputy Collector Pleasant as
Chairman. Contesting delegations APP
peared from Chatham, Mcintosh and
Clinch. I. F. johnson headed one of the
delegations from Chatham, and claimed
seats in the convention. This was over
ruled by Chairman Pleasant, who stated
that he and the Executive Committee had
''ixed up'' a roll of delegates who were
to be recognized by him. johnson. Deveaux
and Anthony Wilson protested against
this arbitrary ruling, and upon the
election of temporary Chairman both
factions nominated a Chairman. and
upon the ruling of the Chair that
Floyd Wilson had been chosen the
JQhnsonites declared that Anthony
Wilson was the regularly-elected Chair
man, and both parties proceeded to seat
their Chairman. Confusion and excite
ment ensued. The johnson party finally
proceeded to business in the body of the
hall, with Wilson, of Camden, as Chair
man. This caused a howl from the
Pleasant-WilsOn faction. who cOntended
that they were disturbed by unauthorized
persons, and appointed two Sergeants-at-
Arms to maintain order. This action pro-
duced considerable feeling, which was
augmented when the FLOYD WilsOnites
called on the police to protect them and
sent for the Mayor to have the
Johnsonites removed. The Mayor de-
cided that the johnson party should
withdraw. which they did under
protest. Having already organized. they
elected I. f. Johnson and Thos. Green
delegates to Chicago, and indOrsed G.. p.
Goodyear for United States Judge. The
Floyd Wilson party elected another set of
delegates-A. n. Wilson and James Blue,
with j. \. Sykes and Richard jackson as
alternates; Floyd Wilson, permanent
Chairman, and Pleasant as Chairman of
the Executive Committee. j. +. BRYANT
addressed the Floyd Wilson meeting, as
cid also H. p. FarrOw. Both factions are
still in session.
