twas evident that the convention was on its
gooo behavior, but there were two or three
delegates who nearly started trouble and there
were moments when the noise was great. but
the disorder usually yielded readily to soothing
ana appealing speeches. The most serious
crisis that rose in the first hour
or two of the meeting was a propo-
wh hn
committee on credentials was at work. The
movement, it was claimed by some of those OPP
posed to it, was urged by some who were really
Chase men and who believed that recess, with
attendant evils, would do a good deal toward
breaking up the convention.
Inc convention, however, put aside the temp
tatlon OF recess and those who were thirsty
had to wait.

CHAIRMAN BRADSHAW CALLS TO ORDER.
Wien Chairman Bradshaw stepped on the
platform aud raped the desk with n chair ruug
at II O'Clock the assembly became seated in
good order. The gathering was composed
mostly OF colored men, the proportion being
more than twenty to one. Mr.. Bradshaw called
upon Mr.. L. I. Hanson to offer PRAYER and
Mr.. Hanson performed that duty with much
.ervency. Mr.. Bradshaw then in brief ad-
dress called the convention to order.
During the course of the remarks he said: ssThe
question of the regularity of this BODY need
not be considered. The men who made the
party arc here. The Same men who have
fought its battles and won its victories in this
District for the past twenty-five years are we'll
represented by the delegates see before me.
You gentlemen are the chosen representatives
of the republican party of the twenty-five leg
isative districts; that believe, is not cues
toned by any one; that fact alone will
admit tho delegates chosen by this couyen-
ton to the republican convention next
June. The final disposition by the ma
tional committee OF the questions presented
by this convention will determine once for all
whether the republican party is to survive or
not i'll this District The combination made up
of malcontents, who are endeavoring to dis
rupt our party, is Of the same character, and
in great measure, the same men, who for
plumber and place fused with the democrats
In 1872, and succeeded in defeating our can di-
date for mayor and causing the abolition of the
right OF suffrage and the subsequent plumber
ing Of the taxpayers of this District of many
millions OF dollars. The hidden efforts of GER
tain men of wealth by the use of money and the
miserable tools in their pay to run the partv
will not succeed. 1t is not the first time money
has been used corruptly to break down our Or
gnnization. 1t has always failed and 1 hope
| always will. Il think, !" said Mr.. Bradshaw In
conclusion, 1--WE can rest our case in the
hands of those eminent republicans who COM
pose the national committee.
"They know US well. They know what We
| have done in the past ard they also know what
we are willing to do in the future in behalf OF
our party and the country. II mistake not
| they know our disturbing element and whet
weight they carry"
