lieyed it; but the time came when every
body saw that something must be done.
1t was proposed-not by the regular party
organization, but by Brady and Groner-
that the Executive Committee Of the Ma
tional Republican Committe should act as
a Board of Arbitration in the matter. That
Board was composed of five men, of whom

might be called a packed Board Of Arbitra-
ton against US. We said yes, leave it to
the packed Board. The Board sat for three
days-one and a half days to hear Malone
and the same length of time to hear Brady
The Board adopted what was demanded by
Brady and Groner and we conceded it and
that Board wrote q call which embodied
that decision. And yet now you will see some
of the men who won the fight and downed
Malone, still dissatisfied: but the great
mass have accepted the result Of the arbi-
tration in good faith. Hasn't it been car
ried out in Augusta in good faith ?
Voices.-Yes Yes.
MI. Allen.-Your Chairman was to-
day elected by yourselves, you delegates have
been elected by the people, and you have
elected the delegates to Norfolk. And now
don't you inevitably come to the conclusion
that that wasn't what was the matter with
Hannah but it was something else. laugh

A voice.-Why was Lewis removed il
Rockingham
MI. Allen.-What in the name of God
has that to do with the call for the c0nven-
ton? 1t couldn t affect the matter one way
OIL the other. / understand MI Lewis said
he would not discharge the functions of
Chairman in the coming campaign. If that
were true, Malone only provided against
the thing going by default, by appointing d
Chairman pro tenn. till the Rockingham
county convention met. / don't know, but
l IL bet that when that convention met ii
elected a Chairman who will he commits

if we will only fight the Democrats half as
hard as we have been fighting each other, we
will whip them in November. applause.
The members Of the county convention
