X. OF L. CONVENTION,
Second Days Proceeding of the knights
at Richmond.

Second Days Proceeding of the knights
at Richmond.
RICHMOND, October 5.-General Worthy
Foreman Griffith called the second session
OF the Knights of Labor convention to Or
der this morning in the absence OF Powder
ly, who was detained at his hotel by busi-
ness. 1t was announced that the commit
tee on credentials vas not ready to report
and nothing could be done until this report
was received. Shortly after 10 O'Clock
Powderly arrived and was presented with
gavel made from the wood of an orange
tree that grew on the spot where General
Packingham was killed at the battle OF New
Orleans. The presentation was made on
behalf of the New Orleans Knights.
It is learned that the committee on Gre
dentials will not be ready to report until 2
o'clock. The convention then adjourned
until that hour. It is expected that the
afternoon session will be interrupted by
the consideration OF the report OF the COM
mittee on credential and that actual work
will not begin till tomorrow.
RICHMOND, October 5.-Tbe convention
went into session again this afternoon.
The report of the committee on credentials
was then read. It was very long, and Sec
retarv Turner said it would take four hours
to read it. 1t is doubtful whether the con-
sideration of the report would be completed
and action on it taken this afternoon.
RICHMOND, October 5.-Untl $50 the
time was occupied in reading the long roll
of over 800 names. The committee had
reached decision on all but or 10
Names and these were referred to the con-
vention itself. The report presented q
unanimous protest, made on behalf OF the
delegates excluded by the decision OF the
committees. Arguments were made for
and against the acceptance of the report,
and if the statements OF delegates. who
left the hall during the debate, may be be-
lieved, the feeling on both sides in
several cases is very strong. At length
the report was accepted. 1t was
decided that those whose names have been
read from the roll prepared by the COM
mittee are entitled to seats, and when this
result was reached the others were request
ed to leave, and they quietly retired. The
work OF assigning seats to the remaining
delegates then began and was completed
at 7:3O, when it adjourned till O'Clock
tomorrow.
Tomorrow will be taken up in the dis
cussion of the question of the admission or
rejection of the eight or ten delegates whose
cases were referred to the convention by
the Committee on Credentials. They come
from the several States and consist OF
members of delegations from the assembly
claiming larger representation than the
strict rules of the order allow. They claim
that their present membership entities
them to the number sent, but the rules re-
quire the representation to be based upon
the membership shown by the Secretary g
books last July. When this question is
decided the convention will be ready to
listen to Powderly's address showing the
progress OF the order during the year and
it's attention.

The Governor fayors the free and un-
limited coinage OF our silver, arguing that
the withdrawal OF the silver product of..the
country from the market for the purpose
of coinage, would tend to appreciate the
value OF the metal, and stimulate the fur
ther development of the other great
interests OF the country. The Governor
iavors the removal of the Indians to the
Indian Territory; opposes the repeal OF the
Desert Land Act; urges modification by
Congress OF the measure prohibiting the
Territory from incurring over a certain
amount OF indebtedness, and favors the
admission of Montana as a state.
The report is an ably written paper,
pointed and direct in it's recommendations
clear as well as comprehensive in it's state
ments, and unanswerable in it's arguments.
1t is just such paper as may be expected
from man who is eminently practical in
his views and who deals in facts rather
than theories.

RACE ISSUE.
RICHMOND, October 4.-The race issue
which was passed when colored Delegate
Ferrill was refused admittance to q botel
and his white brethren, delegates of Dis
trict 10, New York, refused to 60 there
without him has appeared in another
shape. The Knights OF Richmond arranged
Tor q parade, tourna ment and ball in honor
OF the visiting Knights and the Committee
nf Arrangements was appointed when the
Ferrejl question arose. It became prob.
lem how the ball could be given without
bringing it up in a new and
MORE vExArIoUs SHAPE.
1t is contrary to local customs and
preludices to have whites and blacks at a
ball together. II at the Knights Of Labor
ball both be admitted to the hall, many
whites here would refuse to attend. II in
the halls the separate visiting Knights, es-
pecially after Powderly's declaration of
principles of equality of race, to-day, might
refuse invitations. Another complication
sprang from the fact that William H. Null
len, Master Workman Of Richmond District,
s a candidate for Congress-, and his
influence is strong with the Commit
tee. If it is decided to admit
whites and negroes to the same hall many
81 the white supporters would abandon
him. The Committee on Arrangements
held meeting this evening and at an
Early hour this morning had not decided
What to do pending the settlement OF the
question. Efforts are being made too keep
secret from visiting Knights the fact of it's
existence. It is thought possible that it
nay result in leaving the ball out of
jhe programme.

been taken to Steeleville from Cuba, Mo-,

fused to own up to the crime, and before
the crowd could hang him up again the

BEWARE of democratic organs which tell you there Is dlscord in the repub- lican ranks. They are like the pick pocket who cries "Stop thief Tn or der to divert attention from himself. The republican party never WIS more harmonious, and Is working like a unit to elect every candidate on the ticket. It is the democratic party which is so dlsorglnized. Their fueds began long before tA:ir convention was held, and nave ohly become more bitter day by day. The dlSaftctlon in Ydvapal county Is notorlJls, and 1t cannot be cured. So deadly
 IS the hatred of strong faction Of old dy.d.In-the-wool democrats, that they will either vote for republicans, or stay away from the polls altogether, rather than vote for some of the prominent candidates, on their own ticket. Let every republican renem- Der this, that only in unity IS there strength, let them vote the whole ticket without a scratch, and their march to the polls, with the acces- sion from the democratic ranks, will be one continuous triumph.
