CONVENTION "REMINISCENCES.
Gen. Malicy On the Delegation--SJm'
patty for Russell-Not Mr.. Pas
chal-Drawing the Color

Il
A GAZETTE reporter interviewed
Gen. Malloy of Galveston yesterday
evening regarding the work of the
convention. He takes his defeat very
compacently and consoles himself
with remarking that he and his dele
CATION represent threc-fourths of the
Republicans of Galveston county.
He says that the fact that
the Quincy delegation bad
the recognized organization of the
county caused many white Republic
cans to vote against his (Malloy) dele
CATION. About the color line and the
complexion Of the delegates to
Chicago he was very reticent, but In
timated that the Blaine men who
think they have Il majority of the dele
cation very much deceive themselves.
THE GAZETTE learns that resolu-
ton asking executive clemency for
Stillwell Russell was prepared for in
PRODUCTION In the Republican conven-
ton by a colored delegate Thursday
night but the suspicious audiences
with which the convention adjourned
cut 1t off. There Is not the slightest
doubt that il introduced 1t would have
carried almost unanimously. The ex-
pressions of sympathy with
Russell were general and evidently
heartfelt. There are not wanting inti-
nations that the peremptory adjourn
ment over the protest OF a large major
ity of the convention was preconcerted
and intended to stiile the r, solution to
instruct for Blaine, which would also
have been called up, and the Russell
resolution.
In reporting the proceedings of the
jamboree Thursday night, after the adj
journment of the Republican conven-
ton, an error was made in stating that
Mr.. George Paschal of San Antonio
delivered an address on the protective
tariff. The genial Mr.. Millett, SER
geant-at-arms, at the request of sever
al cattlemen who were present and
who desired to hear an able discussion
of the tariff question, moved that Mr..
Pascbal be invited TO address
the meeting on that subject, which
was unanimously agreed to. Mr.. Pas
chal, however, was absent, and the
colored brother who came to the front
was the author Of these patches of the
bloody shirt. Mr.. Paschal is "a popular
member of the bar Of San Antonio.
The element of the Tarrant county
Republican party who were defeated
In the late contest for seats in the state
convention are by no means dishcart-
ened, and they intend making another
vigorous rally. TO this end meeting
has been called to meet tonight at the
office of Mr.. Martin, attorney at law,
Main street, where thorough re.
organization will be perfected and
plans for the future government of the
party agreed upon. The former chair
man, Mr.. &. {. Drake, who gave the
pointer to GAZETTE reporter, add
ed 1--WE are going to organize a
white mans Republican party, and we
are going TO make il success. /
am n Republican, but
am not a niger Republican and never
will be.u
do you think you havea sufficient
number of white men belonging to the
Republican party who will j1in you to
make your organization one of consid-
cradle importance?n
Yes, we have plenty of Republi-
cans to make or rather TO he the Re-
publican party. They are driven away
from 1t now because, like myself, they
do not want to mix " it'll the nigpers.u
This Is the first gun and what may
follow cannot be conjectured at present.
