TON.
Large Delegation from Ev-
cry Southern State--The
Solid South United for
RuGinagC
Business.

The North Carolina delega-
ton had a preliminary organi-
cation on Tuesday night, Col.
w. H. Burgwyn, of Henderson,
was made permanent President
and Col. Fairbrother, of the Dur
ham Daily Globe, Secretary for
the North Carolina delegation,
Col. Burgwyn was instructed
to appoint n. c. representa-
tive for each of the permanent
committees. He selected good
men for these places. But on
the arrival of several eastern
n. c. delegates they were dis
posed to vigorously kick against
the Coils. appointments. But
thay soon were sat down upon
in the caucus and all then went
along smoothly. The General
Convention was organized by
the election of R. B. Vance as
temporary President and Col.
Elliott, of Florida, as Secretary
Gen. Vance made a ringing
speech and then introduced
Gov. Fowle who made the best
speech of his life. The time and
the occasion met and Gov.
Fowle handled them nicely.
Mr.. Jas. Lyons, of Richmond,
responded eloquently to Gov.
Fowle. The committee on per-
manent organization made their
report later in the day. They
recommended Mr.. Bryan, of
Tenn, for permanent President
and Mr.. Elliott, of Florida, Sec
rotary. Each State having APP
pointed their members of the
various committees, the work
was then practically in the
hands of the committees whose
work was we'll and faithfully
done. Want of space and time

yention. We are indebted to
the Asheville Citizen, who had
a special stenographer on hand,
