motion was made to so amend the present
plan Of party organization as TO allow the
people TO choose their own county chairmen

Twenty-Five authorized by the Wise owen
ton TO prepare an address TO the Republi-

This was manifested yesterday afternoon
when the District Convention iirst met, and
this was the reason that the Fourth was the
only distinct that made no report 10 the state
Convention last night. The session OF the
convention this morning was not harmo-
nious. II Is said that NJ. y. Lewis, one OF
the colored delegation, charged A. w. llar-
ris, cOlored delegate from Dinwddie, and
one Ct the delegates at large, with delaying
TIE business Of the convention, TO which
charge Harris Is reported 10 have given the
lie. Lewis thcreupon struck Harris blow
in the face. a good deal Of confusion aud
excitement was caused 10y the episode and
further trouble was only prevented by the
prompt separation Of the parties.
