The Republican County Conven-
ton convened at Harmonic Hall
last Monday, and selected the
strongest ticket possible with one
and that was in not plac-
ing the Hon. w. X. Morris on the
Legislative ticket, for representative
from the 37nd senatorial district.
But as we cast our lot with the
other candidates and was defeated
we willingly acquiesce. There
were only three delegates to the
convention Of the Afro-American
race, VIM. Smith, w. r. Rogers
and A. &. Plummer, who did some
effective work for the only colored
candidate ever presented to a CON
vention in Hennepin county, for
their endorsement. They worked
like beavers and the result is that
two years hence, the colored votes
can lay strong claims upon the Re
publican party, for man upon the
ticket and there is not the least
doubt but that the goal could have
been reached has the Hon. w. X.
Morris been a resident Of the city
longer. We regret very much that
there was not more colored dele
gates in the convention and the
familiar faces OF the old wheel,
horses OF the race were missed
from the busy throng of delegates;
but what few there were, represent
ed the racenodly and they deserve
credit for their answering fidelity
to their candidate. An insignifi-
cant scamp made the remark that
the colored vote had not the ma
terial strength to be considered a
factor in the county politics, which
was quickly resented by Mr.. Vim.
Smith, who denounced the whelp
then and there as he deserved to
be.
w. r. Morris, Esq, was elected
a delegate to Anoka, to the 4th
district congressional convention,
where he acquitted himself with
credit. He seconds the nomina-
ton of Capt Snider on behalf of
Hennepin county and after he had
finished all the delegates from
this county acknowledged him to
be the orator of the Hennepin
delegation.
f. l.. McGhee, Esq, delegate
rom Ramsey county, was also call
ed upon for sheech and for near
y an hour hh held his hearers
spell-bound with his eloquence and
and after he had finished the APP
plause he received would have
made Secretary Blaine feel proud.
Il was simply an ovation. Mime
sota is blessed with such able men
Is Morris and McGhee and two
men like them can do more in one
lay for their race than some bath
could do in a lifetime.
They were both instrumental in
having inserted in the platform
his clause:
Resolved, That we cordially
commend the action Of the Repub-
lean house OF representatives in its
'ndeavors, through the passage OF
he federal election bill, to make
nvinlahle the right Of every citizen
Il the United States. regardless of
dior; rank or station, TO have his
'ote upon every national question
RELY cast and fairly counted.
All the daily press spoke very
tightly of their ability as scholars
md lawyers.
