ARP WORDS.

1t il understood that the session OF the
Convention yesterday morning was very
heated one aud that the discussions were 1t
times very animated. Two OF the delegate
INDUCED in some sharp words upon their
arrival at the hotel. one charged that the
other had been drinking Intoxicating
liquors and that he would report him. The
party accused denied the assertion and
challenged proof The discussion was
waxing warmer and warmer, but presently
Delegate willard, Of Boston, walked up to
The group and made known the fact that

THE BACE QUESTION, AGAIN.
An Alleged CoiOred Delegate Tries to
Get Into the Concert.

Last evening about S:45 O'Clock, while
the concert was In progress at the Regi-
mental Armory, colorcd man, accom-
panied by two young colored women,
assembled the steps, and stopping at the
table where admssiOn-tickets were sold by
Major W. VI. Evnns, Of the Concert Com
mittee, said: "IS the concert oyer?"
Major Evans replied that 1t was not.
81 would like To get some tickets, then y
at Is utterly useless tO sell you any
Tickets" said the Major calmly, "you can't
get in A; the doorkeepcrs won't pass YOU
~ am knight OF Labor and an invited
guest" the man urged.
The ticket.seltr was still obdurate, so
tie man and his dusky companions turned
away and passed out.
A reporter Oi the Dispatch then hunted
up General Edgar Allan, chairman OF the
committee Of arrangements, TO lind out IL
that gentleman could eXpllin what the
man meant by saying he was IN invited
guest.
General Allan sail that be had sent q
ticket 70 The concert TO Mr.. Powderly in
the morning, enclosing 4 copy OF the pro-
grammc. with a note which stated the OBJ
jcct TO which the proceeds Of the entertain
mcnt would bc devoted, and expressed the
belief that many representatives in the A.
sembly would heartily Sympathizc with
these objects, and requested him to say a
kindly word on behalf N the cause, and to
state that captain Il. r. Stoops, member
OF Phil KcaTney Post, would bc at the
outer door at The close Of the Assembly
with tickets for sale.
The belief was generally current that the
negro who applied was Ferrel. the "i9
DELEGATE. When our reporter asked dc.
.cription OF the man. however, m d'iachs
OF the Armory said he WAS tall and ot =
