Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1886-09-02

elsrsd that the Convention had ossn
adjourned by the arbitrary and unjust
action Of the chairman. Others were
equally strong in their denunciatioas OF
the chairmsn's action.
THEY REoRaANIzE.
The Gaines men, having majority OF
the Convention and retaining possession
Of the hall, decided to organize and pro-
cesd TO business. On motion oil Mr..
Wilcox, Judge Mallory was called to the
chair, aud w. II. Ashe tcolored) APP
pointed secretary. Judge Mallory TOOK
his seat, and, amid great cheering and
applause, he declared himself for peace
and harmony, and discountenanced any
thing like disorder or faction. In his
opinion the Convention had refused to
adjourn by an overwhelming majority.
Such action as had been witnessed
would. If possible, bind him tenioid
stronger to the candidate Of his choice,
and he would stand up like the Rock Of
Ages in his behalf.
MAHONE'S CHAMPION.
Mr.. Wilcox, the only one Of Boil
6re's friends who refused to go out,
advised the Convention to proceed with
caution. lie complimented Gaines as
a man worthy Of the nomination, but
declared his nomination means antago-
nism to the greatest man in the party
the man who is the party himself MA
hone). Speeches were made by anum-
Der Of delegates denunciatory Of the
dictatorial action Of Chairman Flanna-
gan, and pledgiDg them selves to stand
by the action Of the majority.
A committee was appointed to confer
with the boiling delegates and invite
them TO return. The committee re
ported that the said delegates refused
10 come back.
The Convention at $50 O'Clock ad-
iourned determined to meet the boilers
AZ 10 o'clo * tomorrow and fairly beat
them sgain. 1t seems hardly possible
for the two factions TO reunite in Con-
yention. Gaines will certainly be nomi-
pated by one convention aad a negro
by the other.
MALONE REFUSES TO RUN.
It is said that strong efforts were
made last night to induce General Ma
hone 10 allow his name to be presented
TO the Convention, but be positively re-
fused.
Immediately after the bolt this after
noon meeting was organized on Court
House Square to advocate the nomlna-
ton Of negro. This is the movement
that has for several day been engineered
by Colonel Brady. Several hundred
people were present, and among them,
as syDpathizers and speakers, were the
boiling delegates. The speakers were
W. N. Stevens, A. w. Harris, NJ. W.
Lewis, Robert Claiborne, z. ID. Bland.
j. W. Pope. and John Mitchell, and
John Oliver, ofRichmond. All of them
urged the nomination Of negro, not
only as o matter Of justice and right,
butas the Gully means Of saving the party
in the district.
IN FAVOR OF A NEGRO.
A preamble and resolutions declaring
in favor Of the nomination Of q negro
were adopted,
A conference was held tonight be-
tween representative cOlored men and
the seeding Malone delegates on the
subject, and it is believed that when
they meet to morrow a negro will be
formally nominated. From this fact, as
well as from the break in the Conven.
ZION, it is judged that every effort will
be made TO defeat Gaines, and that
General Malone and his friends favor a
negro as the best man TO accomplish thi'
end. The success Of the negro move
nent is regarded as feather in Colonel
Brady's cap. He is one Of the best
pleased men in the city. Instead O.
beirg flanked by his enemies, he ha'
proved himself the fankipg party.
