Republican Convention.

The Republican county convcn.
: tion met on Monday at the Office
OF S. A. IIackworth, esquire. Hon.
William IL. Blount, ohiciatcd as
chairman. A committee was ap-
pointed to select q county ticket.
In due time they returned and pre-
scented the following: Carl Schutzc,
county Judge Allen Wilder, color
ed, county attorney; T. J. Loekctt,
treasure VIM. Ehlert, tax collec-
tor; Joe Hoffman, tax assessor ;
1. C. C. Bryan, county clerk J. c.
IIcwctt, colOrcd, district clerk /;
Paul Frickc. sheriff; w. II. BIount,
for the Legislature; Dennis Farr, 4
Burlcson county negro was indoors
cd for floatcr. When the commit
tee reported the spokesman of the
delegations representing Washing
ton and Independence precincts
objected to Col. Schutzc for county
judge and on motion the commit
tee was requested TO recon
slider the ticket. About six
o'clock the committee re-
returned into the convention hall
and reported back the original
ticket. Some objection WAS raised
and pending a motion or a pint
of order n fight cnsucd, razors and
guns gllstoncd in the air and
general rush was made for out of
doors. In the street two or three
battles royal took place, one color
cd gentleman get his head cut
with 4 blow from 4 "rcSOlvcr.'
The convention broke up without
taking 4 final formal action on the
ticket. A number of the best col
orcd men in the county were pres
cnt and favored endorsing the
present county administration, but
mono of them were accorded hear
ing as the convention had been
previously cut and dried and the
ticket had been prc-arranged.
Tho masses of tho colorcd
voters were not given any
chance as no primary
meetings were held, and in addl-
ton one or moro precincts had no
voIcc in tho convention whatever.
Tho sclf-constituted leaders and
promoters of the convention had
been at work for the past two
months klln-dryIng tho affair to
nominate 4 ticket to suit them
selves. The selection of delegates
to the convention was done at dark |
lantern meetings and conservative
colored voters are getting weary !
of such proceedings. What further
action, if any, will be takrn by the
is unknown.

A NEGRO SHoT.-The BANNER
learns that on Thursday evening
Bill Ewing shot Frank King with
a shotgun breaking one arm and
inficting a severe if not mortal
wound IN the breast. The parties
are negroes and live on or near Mrs.
J. NJ. Williams plantation in the
Independence noighborhood. II
was woman and not whiskey that
caused tho unpleasantnoss. The
affair came about in this way:
King had for some years lived
with q colored lady and during
the time they accumulated fami-
ly consisting of several children.
They had never went through the
formality of getting married and
a lew months ago they mutually
agreed to "quIt" and divided up
the community property consist
ing of the children, each one keep
ing their own share. Tho lady
then went off and was legally mar
ried to Mr.. Ewing. So far every
thing went off pleasantly. Nj.
King, among the other children.
retained one of tender years, this
child was taken sick and Mr.. King
thinking its mother could best
take care of it bundled 1t up
and went over to Mr.. Ewing's
house. He hadn't been there
long before Mr.. Ewing dropped IN
and seeing King the demon jcal-
ousy seized him aud he seized his
shotgun, and without asking any
questions or going through any
preliminary ceremony, he blazed
away with the result already
stated.

RAIN AND WIND.-Frlday morn.
ing about 5 o'clock it began ram.
ing in = gentle way and by s il
was raining good-fashion; from
that time till after IL it came down
beautifully. The rain WAS accom-
panied with gusts Of wind blowing
down light fences and limbs OF
trees, but so tar as learned no real
damage was done. The signal of
ficer here reports tho rainfall as
LII inches. We learn by tcle-
phone that the rain extended from
Hampstead to GiddIngs, and from
passengers on the Santa Fo down
train that there was heavy rain
at Temple and all down the line to
this point. A telephone message
from Industry says they had more
rain than they wanted. A gentle
man who came in Friday from
William Penn, says they had plcn-
ty OF rain out there. He noticed
the cotton particularly coming in
and reports that hardly any open
cotton was washed or blown out of
the bolls. Some persons contend
that the rain came too late to do
cotton any good, while others
think differently, as We hardly
over have any frost before carly in
November. Time Will show whcth-
or the cotton crop was benefited
or not.

A COlOred Mans Views,

To the Banner.
The supposed Republican Con
vontion, held August %, turned
out to be political farce. Many OF
the thinking colored citizens stood
aloof, and for good reasons: First,
it was maneuvercd by the political
trickstcrs in this. there woro no
precinct meetings held, in order
that each citizen could have an OPP
portunIty in the election of pre-
cinct delegates to the county con-
vention, and, second, that they
were not permitted to be
present at the previous de-
alterations. In this, as yet, We
recognize no legal convention,
since, indeed, "the will OF the poo
pie is supreme" 1t must be re-
membcred that we have been free
twenty-one years, and when VIC are
not treated with respect and cour-
tosy, we propose TO show our free
dom of choice at the polls. No
political gag law shall stIflc our
opinions, and we propose to show
it in November. The former
method of forcing boilers, chrome
ofice-seckcrs and quasi RcpuJli-
cans on us and whipping US INTO
line to vote for them is about
played out. We desire to show
our good sense and intelligence by
placing good and honest men in
office,-such as we have had for
the last two years. Since the Re
publican party has gone beyond
the pale of political disquisition,
we recognize none other than the
peoples Ticket"

Hon. R. Q. MILLs.-Tbe con-
gresslonal convention for this, the
Ninth district, met at Waco on
Saturday, and after some lIttlc op-
position, Hon. R. @. Mills was
nominated by reclamation. This
action is in accordance with the
wishes of a large majority of the
Democrats in tho district, but
there was some opposition on the
part of the prohibitIonists in Nc
Lehman, Navarro and Limestone
counties, and perhaps few sore
headed Democrats.

THE so-called Republican con-
ventlon manipulators succeeded in
getting out beautiful ticket; it Is
one of the most elegant and unique
tickets that could have been devils
ed and is just such a ticket as the
selfconstituted party managers de-
sired. The only drawback to the
ticket is that it does not give en-
tire satisfaction to the coIored
voters. They omitted to nominate
a candidate for county surveyor,
having no man in the party com.
potent to fill the position.
