COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. 1S.-The Re-
publican convention assembled in the
State house tonight. 1t is composed Of
1876 delegates, not more than twenty of
whom are white men. The convention
is divided into two hostile factions,
which are contending for supremacy in
the composition of the State executive
committee to be elected by the conven-
ton. One faction is headed by Ex-Rev-
enue Collector Ellery M. Brayton, the
present State chairman, who is a candi-
date for re election, and the other by A.
E. Webster, the present internal revenue
collector for South Carolina, who is max
ing the fight in behalf of Thomas Miller,
candidate for Congress from the Seventh
or Black district. Brayton is also can
didate for Congress from the same dis
trict. Both claim to have received the
nomination of the party, and the claims
of the rival candidates are to be settled
by the convention under the party rule.
The State executive committee met
last night for the purpose Of making uI
a temporary roll for the convention, and
has been in session all day. In the com
mittee the Brayton and Miller forces
were almost evenly divided, Braytor
having a majority of two votes, which
the other hotly contested
The proceeding Of the committee was
characterized by wild riotous scenes
eliminating in personal collisions ano
fisticuffs, which the police were called il
to quell. 1t is charged by the Brayton fac
tion that money was and is still heins
freely used by the other side in buying
up committeeman as we'll as convention
delegates.

The elder Phipps was an economic, just and
successful man, He came to Allegheny in

not highly remunerative. The father could
have realized more from the labor of his

was to give the boys an education, and for
that reason would not permit them to work.
The city Of Allegheny is the gamer by that
resolution, from the fact that the cobbler's
