The republican nominating conyen-
ton Of Barber couAty, met at the court
house Monday afternoon, at O'Clock,
and was called to order by James Hut
faker.
| T. A. McNeal was chosen as temper
airy chairman, and Frank E. Reed as
temporary secretary.
Mr.. McNeal, on taking the chair,
made a speech of about half an hour,
in which he cOndoled with the <. o. p.
in it's misfortune, and ridiculed the
party that licked it. He thought the re-
publican party was like the old negro
who laid down before the fire; after
while he began to smell something, and
exclaimed. ''SOme niggah's heels
aDurnin'." After a while the fire
struck In, and ne said ''gollyl 1 knows
whose heel dat isl The republican
party has set back and let new gospel
be preached. We have gone down and
tasted of the cup of bitterness, but
there is light ahead. Our enemy is
we'll ORGANIZED, and we must down them
with organization and with reason, if
1 4 hou hol
for party whose chief ain was 10 raise
hell, and which had raised hell from its
organization. Give us more pure blood
and general prosperity. L hope you,
gentlemen, in your deliberations, will
have an eye single to the good of the
republican party. Nominate good
men, and then put your shoulders to
the wheel and roll up our old time re-
publican majority; and then whether
| Harrison or Blaine be nominated, we
shall be in the advance of the victori-
Gus host. Then we will put down all
sectiOnalism. We will stand by the
people, and we will stand by our coun-
try as we did in the hour of her peril.
