Brown, Hy Hutchings, E. Won Boeck-
man, David Sheeks, }. e. Campbell
and B. G. Giles.
The struggle of the day
then began, it being the nomi-

following names being presented:
Thos. III. Wheless Dy Geo. f. Pen
dexter.
d. A. McFall by Fred Carleton.
j. r. Ray by Dennis Corwin.

win, co 3.S, McFall, 40 IL and Ray
25 7-9.
Mr.. Wheless having gotten the
requisite number of votes he was de-
clared the nominee of the party, and
the balloting at once proceeded.
Second ballot-Todd 48 %, Corwin
GA %, McFall % % and Ray IL.

Fifth ballot-Todd so IA, CorWin
70 ga.
Sixth ballot-Todd 81 1-2, Corwin

At this point in the proceedings,
Just as the secretary was beginning to
call the roll, Mr.. Floyd McGown arose
and renominated Mr.. McFall, stating
that he did it without the knowledge
or consent of Mr.. McFall, and on
the ground that it seemed i'm
possible to secure nomination
with the two men then in the race.
His announcement was greet ed with
great applause, and the ballot pro-
ceeded.
Seventh ballot-McFall, 81, Todd 81,
CorWin %.
Mr.. Corwin then withdrew his name
after thanking his friends.
Eighth ballot-McFall rs, Todd 76.
Loud cries for Todd called that gen.
tleman to the stand to make short
address, being followed by McFall
who also had a few words to say.
Ninth ballot-McFall "a, Todd So.
Tenth ballot-McFall los 1-3, Todd
1923.
McFall having received two-thirds
of the vote cast was declared non mat
ed amid great cheering.
Judge Won Rosenberg's name was
then presented for the office of county
Judge and Mr.. w. w. Wood offered
the name of Mr.. GeU. Calhoun. The
ballot being taken resulted Won
Rosenberg 1873 1-2, Calhoun Is IL.
A. S. Walker, Jr., for county attor-
ney, Emmett White for sheriff and j..
p. Hart for district clerk, were then
nominated without opposition.
The next office tackled was that of
tax collector, the following names be-
ing presented: John w. Kelley, W.B.
Thrasher, B. f. Hughes and A. r.
Morris.
Mr.. Norris name was offered
by 6, delegate from the country
and Immediately the question
was sprung as to whether
or not that gentleman would
abide by the action of the convention
in the event he fails to get the NOM
nation. The delegate said he had no
authority to say that he would and
withdrew his name.
Thereupon Mr.. Pendexter mounted
a chair and re-ofered the name stat
ing that he could say positively that
Mr.. Morris would accept the nomina-
ton with pleasure if rendered him.
Mr.. Frank Maddox inquir-
ed whether he would abide
by the conventions action
and Mr.. Pandexter admitting that he
could COMO further than what he had

Special to The statesman.


SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July 2.-Thomas Mar
tinez, a highly educated Mexican who has been
for many years political refugee from Mexico,
was placed on the stand today as witness for
the defendant in the Cramer Ybanes exhibition

tional story concerning his treatment at the
hands of the Mexican government. He asserted
that hired agents of President Diaz killed his
brother General Martinez in Laredo two years

Queer Uses for Suits.

SuccF USES IOT
Harper's Young People.
The custom of W alking upon stills
dates from the earliest times, and In
the art there have been some distip-
guished professors who have attained
a remarkable degree of proficiency.
Some of them are said to have danced
upon tight robe like regular aero.

In the eighteenth century at Namur
IN France, silt combats were b favor.
lite game among the young men.
Most of these silt fights took place
during the fetes of tn Q carnival and
other great occasions. The Marechal
SAKE was in l74S entertained with
one OF these tourney's.
Five or elk hundred young men
were divided into two opposing
bands, formed themselves into orig
AIDES, wearing costumes of different
colors and advanced against each
other. The stills were about A feet
high. The combatants carried no
weapons-it was against the rules to
do so-they had their elbows and
their stills, by vigorous use of
which they did their best to place
their enemies hors de combat. The
struggle often lasted for two hours
and over, the combatants sway
ing from side to side, advancing, re-
treating, crouching towards the
ear tn, or springing up to avoid we'll
aimed blow. The battles often waxed
hot and furious, but did not by any
means u necessarily result In the death
of those engaged In 1t. AS long as it
lasted the flags of the rival factions
fioated from the windows of the town
hall. The spectators, many Of them
women, did all they could by their
OF CD ence cries aud gestures to excite
t. com batants to further exertionss
From one of their stilt fights the
Mamurois won . privilege the impor.
lance OF which they have never
ceased to appreciate. The Archduke
Albert of Austria, at his entries into
the Low Countries. was greeted by
the Governor of Namur, who prom
ised him 1.-TWO troops of warriors,
who, without being either on foot or
cd horseback. would afford him the
spectacle of new mode of fighting y
The Archduke was so much charmed
with the exhibition that he accorded
to the inhabitants Of the town the
privilege of being exempt perpetuaily
from the duties on beer.
In Gsscony the Landez shepherds
used stilts SO as to be sufficiently
highly percned to be able to survey
their fiocks scattered among the heath
and brushwood. The stills they
used were very high; they mounted
them early in the morning and did
not quit their elevated position until
evening. In order to get upon them
they climbed the roof of . stable or
the window of q house. The stills
were furnished with rests like
stirrups for the feet, and the
lower ends were shod with bone
to keep the wood from being worn
down or broken. They were attached
to the thigh In such q way as to per-
NIT the knees beng freely bent.
Each man was further provided with
long pole, which he used for climb
ing up to his position and for support
wnen he wished to rest. Thee sheI-
herds moved with wonderful agility,
clearing hedges and wide bitches
without difficulty.

TO THE WHITE REPUBLICANS OF
The SOUTH.
FORT WORTH, Texas, July s, 1892

and defeat, assembled in Mass
Convention, at Dallas, Texas,
April 18th and 18th, 1892, and ad-
opted resolutions condemning the
action of Federal Officials in using
the Negro to secure the manage
ment and control of the party,
for the advancement of their own
personal ambition, the secure.
ment of Federal Offices and the
distribution of Federal patronage,
in opposition to the best interests
of the party and the success of
Republican principles.
The Convention also determiu.
ed upon the reorganization of the
party in the state, based upon the
intelligence and manhood Of the
White American Citizens, and
placed a full state ticket in the
field, with a manly son of Gen.
Sam Houston. at it's head. sw
Under the reorganization of the
party, elections were held in
the various Congressional Dis.
tricts of the State, and delegates
elected to represent the re.organ-
lied party at the National Repub-
lean Convention at Minneapolis,
Minn., which convened June 9Th,
1892. $780,. ...n as
At Minneapolis, as is well
known, all of the Southern white
contesting delegations were Mac.
ed in the same category and denied
reorganization, both in the Nation
al Committee and the Committee
on Credentials but the reception
and hearty sympathy extended to
our delegations by the delegates
from all parts of the country,
stimulate US to renewed exertiOn
in behalf of our cause, and we
therefore submit this plan for the
more thorough organization of the
Republican party in the fifteen
Southern States, composed of
Maryland, Virginia, West Vir.
ginia, North Carolina, South Caro-.
lima. Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
MississiI pi, Louisiana, Texas,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri
and Arkansas.
The plan of organization is as
follows, namely: A Southern
Central Executive Committee
composed of one representative
from each Southern State, to be
elected by a Southern Central
Convention, the Chairman of said
Executive Committee to be
elected by said Convention for
the period of two years; said
Southern Central Convention to
be held once in two years, and to
be composed of delegates from
each state, selected by each state
.convention for the nomination of
State Officers, upon the basis of
two delegates for each Congress
sional District, and two delegates
at large.
This plan of organization is pre-
scented for the serious considera-
ton of all White Republicans of
the South, who are in sympathy
with the movement for white su.
premacy, the upbuilding of the
party and the advancement Of it's
principles, and we call upon all
true Republicans to come to our
aid and organize in each of the
Southern States, and elect dele
gates to the Southern Central
Convention, to be held in the
early fall at some central point,
which will be determined later,
and sufficiently advertised, at
which time the interest of the
party in the South will be consid.
