Is hard TO tell for, as yet, there Is nothing

near him to catch his ear. The talk ~,

CATION TO thu republican convention have
gotte II up statement OF their claim Ia ad'
mission 10 the convention In the shape o.
printed brief which they propose to submit.
They claim that tho republican party IN
Galveston, for several years past has been
under the management nj q corrupt set OF
men; that majority OF tie respectable
element OF she republican party IN that CITY
desire to reform this state OF affairs; that
the county chairman issued call on March
llth last. fos the republican county con-
veniion to meet ct Sparks halt that this
house is IA low, disreputable negro dance
house; that the primaries we're manipulated
In an unfair and shameful manner. A mass
convention ot the republicans ot Galveston
was then called 10 meet at Artillery hall on
Aprll l2th At this convention some 900 or
600 republicans assembled aud elected dele
gates 10 the Fort Worth convention. The
Sparks hall delegation represents the negro
element and is headed by n. W. Quincy.
The Artillery hall delegation is led by
General Malloy. Tbs statement is eieued
bp the following delegates: A.: g. Mslloy,
G.. II. Nevills, j. II. Wilson, w. A.. Stan
pard. Sam /. Alston,''. =. Scott. D De,tzsl,
w J. Phillips, John \ Cos ana Louis
Johnson. The printed brief is backed up
by numerous sflidRvi,s and endorsed by
statements OF business men OF Galveston.
This brief has been generally circulated
and much commented on. The Quincy wing
deny the soft impeachment in regard to
Sparks Hall. and cay 1t is very proper
place. The mottoes in the opera-house
read as follows, and show the hne ltsiian
hand of arti.sdminietration men:
