JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 24.-The Repub.
hcan convention to send delegates to the
national convention at Minneapolis met
here. The fight between Bruce, register
of deeds, and Lynch, fourth auditor of
the treasury, on one side, and James
Hill, postmaster at Vicksburg, and A
T. Wimberly, internal revenue collector,
on the other, was furious from the start
Bruce and Lynch had possession of the
committees and the Hill men claimed the
roll excluded many Hill delegates from
the big Republican counties ON frivolous
contests.
The secretary of the state committee
announced j. NJ Matthews for temporary
chairman. The Hill men nominated w.
L. Madison.
Before the result was announced a
row broke out, caused by the exclusion
of Hill delegates from Kinds and other
counties, and Madison was picked up
and put on the stand. Matthews also
appeared at the same time and both pre-
sided.
The convention is a perfect bedlam
Both have appointed committees on res
olutions and credentials and pandemo-
mum reigns. Hill has large majority
of individual delegates.
