A BREAK AT BRUNSWICK
NICHOLS LEAVES NORWOOD AND
GORDON TO FIGHT 1T OUT.

Tho Convention Immediately Resolves
Itself into Another Deadlock-The
Candidates Run Along Almost Neck
and Neck for Several Ballots-An ADJ
journment TIL Tuesday to Give a
Conference Committee limo to Re-
port.
BRUNSWICK, Ga, June 16.-The conven-
ton Of the First congressional district of
Georgia met at 9 o'clock this morning.
When the roll Of the counties was about
TO DO called DR.. Patterson of Appling moved
that on all questions presented TO the con-
vention the vote may be taken by counties
at the request of any member The motion
was adopted.
Before the balloting began W. G. Brant-
ley rose and withdrew the name Of Hon.
j. c. Nichols. He said "For three long
days we have been balloting for our candi-
dates and no result has been reached. For
27S ballots the friends OF Col.
Nichols have given you the OPP
portunity, the golden opportunity,
OF voting for the man whom they believe
ought to go to congress, and you have re-
fused to grasp it. For 273 ballots the
friends of Col. Nichols have shown their
loyalty to him and their faith in his nomi-
nation, and the result has borne nothing,
nothing for Col. Nichols and nothing for
the party. We did not come here to rlIleor
ruin, we did not come to nominate Col.
Nichols or nobody II we had can assure
you that as much stubborness could
be concentrated in eight votes as
In dozen, or in score.
We came pledged to our candidate, but
pledged too, to our party, and IL we can't
win the coveted prize for the one, we at
least hope to win the laurel wreath of peace
for the others. These sentiments, am
proud to tell you. are shared by our candi-
date, and at his request am authorized to
say to you that his name is this morning
withdrawn from your consideration"
FIRST BALLOT OF THE DAY.

On the 2S2d ballot Wayne changed back
again, giving Mr.. Norwood one-half vote

called the delegates should rise and pass their
votes to the teller, who shonld then declare
the number of votes cast, of which an accu-
rate tally should be kept, The conference
would not hear of such thing They were
all honest mon and did not feel inclined to
submit to any such indignity.

lots resulted in no election.
On the fourteenth ballot Newman was
elected.

The Platform.
Montgomery, Nav, 16.

Montgomery, May, Is.
The convention finally adopted
the following platform:
Resolved, That while we depreciate
all sectional issues and wish for
harmony between all sections of our
great country. we demand as the
legal and constitutional right Of the
people, that the exercise Of the right
of suffrage shall be full and un-
trammeled and that the ballot shall
be counted and returned as cast in
all sections Of this great republic.
And to help secure this end we favor
a national law to regulate the elec
ton Of members of congress and
presidential electors and demand
that the election laws Of Alabama be
so amended as to hinder fraud and
not encourage it.
Resolved, That we condemn Presi
dent Cleveland's tariff message and
the Mills tariff bill, as tending to-
wards free trade, to the destruction
of American industries, and to the
degradation Of American labor to the
servile condition of European labor,
and we favor liberal protection to
all American industries and labor.
Resolved, That we condemn Sen
ator Morgan's declaration that the
vast mineral wealth Of Alabama is a
doubtful bl ssing," because it tends
to increase the laboring mans wages
as hostile to labor, which is the great
foundation ofhumam progress and
wealth.
Resolved, That we favor nation al
aid for the education of the children
of the republic and therefore indorse
the Blair bill.
Resolved, That we favor civil
service reform and condemn Presi-
dent Cleve' 'and's wholesale removals
from office tor party reasons, while
protesting to be in favor Of civil
service reform.
Resolved, That we favor the entire
abolition Of the internal revenue
system.
Resolved, That we oppose now
as heretofore. the present convict
system of Alabama as brutal, and
because it brings convict labor into

Montgomery, May 10.
Chairman Arthur Bingham, of
the Republican State Executive
Committee, called the Republican
State Convention to order at noon
to day, at the State Capitol. He
announced that this convention re
commended a nomination of a State
ticket, ard w. j. Stevens, colored,
Of Calhoun, as temporary chairman,
" ON he at once declared the nom
inee, and proceeded to seat him.
Stevens promptly took possession
of the chair and gavel and read his
lengthy speech:
After he finished, motions were
made to appoint proper committees,
but by this time it was found out
that Chairman Bingham took snap
judgment by declaring Stevens
temporary chairman without voting
on his nomination, and since there
are two strong factions, the "Blain-
ties" and the Shermanit. 81 among
the 322 deies ates, points of order
were raised, and confusion reigned
supreme. The scene lasted for full y
four hours.
In the meantime The Opposition
elected another chairman, Mccall,
who was forced TO the chair alongside
Of Stevens. who, how-ver, held the
fort.
Mccall was presented with an axe
handle as a gavel.
Both continued trying to act as
Chairman of the convention until
5 p M, when Chairman Bingham
again mounted the platform, and de-
clared that since neither of the two
chairmen had been regularly elected,
they had to vacate their seats, and
that the election of a temporary
chairman would have to 60 on.
After good deal of disorder,
Albert Boyd, colored, editor of the
Negro American, from Birmingham,
was elected temporary chairman, and
DR.. R A Moseley, and B II Allen,
colored, were chosen secretaries.
A committee on credentials was
appointed, and the convention ad-
journed till 8o'clock tonight.
After the Report of the committee
on credentials the Temporary officers
were made permanent.

been very ill, indeed, dangerously So For
twenty-four hours from Monday dinner
hour his condition was such as to cause his
family and physicians to fear his demise at
any moment.
That he escaped death and is now on the
road to recovery Is as remarkable to those
acquainted with his condition as it is graft
flying to his family and friends. He had a
stroke of apoplexy. Being the second stroke
he has had, the alarm of the family and
physicians can well be understood. On &C
count of the efforts of members Of the bouse-
hold and other intimate friends to conceal
the true facts of the generals illness it is
difficult to learn just when the first symp-
toms appeared, but from the same reliable
source above referred to it was known that
no less than five physicians were in consult ia
