SANHEDRIM.
The Wise Men of the Republican

The Wise Men of the Republican
Party Hold a Consultation.
For day or two there has been
a gathering of the clans and lead
ing white Republicans have boon
holding close communion with COL
ored gentlemen from various parts
of the county, Thursday-most OF
the day being devoted to it-a san
hedrlm, composed of the members
Of the Republican executive COM
mIttee, all of whom, If the BANNER
is not much mistaken, are colored
men, was held within cannon-shot
of the courthouse. As the name
implies the sauhodrim was very
exclusive, or more properly speak
ing select and outsiders were kept
strictly on the outside, so much SO
that expeotant candidates for eoun-
ty Offices wero ont on the sidewalk
consulting with their colored
friends, for they expect little or
nothing from the white voters,
the Republicans having made re-
cord In this county that can't be
washed out not if the Mississippi
river was to run over it for q year.
The object OF the sanhedrim was to
harmonic the colored voters OF
the county and to formulate a
ticket which every colored man in
tho county shall be pledged to sup
port, it being supposed by the pro-
motors of the movement, who are
the men who once grew fat at the
public CRIB and on the public pas
turo, that by so doing they could
again get to the CRIB and Craze on
the clover and become rs sleek and
fat as they were in the days of old.
''The best LAID schemes OF mice and
men gang aft aglee." Differences
of opinion existed, some of the old
negroes favoring tho harmonIzing
movement, while the young men
of tho party opposed 1t and the
result was nothing whatever was
done. 1t was urged that the prob
able Republican candidates are not
in wealth and that they are
not in condition TO undergo a
protracted canvass. The meeting
till the 18th of August
says one report, while another
says they "broko up" without fix
ing any time for a fresh love feast.
