The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1892-06-15

MINNEAPOLIS, June 11.-LSpecial. THE
republican crowd has disappeared like
magic. The hotel Hobbies tonight are de-
serted all the delegates have gone away
with the exception of the negroes, who
have gone to Minnetonka, where they are
spIurging in great shape on Benjamin's
money. They are drinking nothing but
champagne One of the lot from Texas
was Boosting in the West bar-room this
morning that he had been offered Sl,S00
to vote for Blaine, when an Albanian of
the same color who had been unseated
exclaimed:
"You'se chump; why didn't you take
it?"
"Cause Use got $1,000 to vote foah
Harrison" triumphsntly exclaimed the
Texan.
An Arkansas colored delegate, who was
no "chump" either. had great scheme,
which he outlined thus: al knows a
house in st. Louis that can be bought
foah $4,000"
did you get that much ryour voter"
interrupted the Texan.
mo. didn't, but got NOAH
"You dld?"
"You Just wait Use done talkin'" an
swered the Arkansan. ''This yeah house
is right 'mong 'ristocrats in what they
call a place. You see place is whah
pnlv heightened white republicans live.
Now put in $1,000, you put
in another $1,000 and we get
light more delegates TO put $1,000
piece. That makes $4,000. Now get an
agent to buy the house for youse. Then
We move in that house three or four COL
ored families wifi many chillun. We five
can rent free and they take in washing
and whitewashing. Them .ristocrats will
hold up their noses and Uefoah long they
buys that house for $4,000. Then we 90
on with the business and play the same
trick in other cities. You see?"
Cant go in business now" remarked
the Texan. "I need rest and L am going
to the sea shore to spend the summer"
Perhaps these colored men will never
get another opportunity to acquire capital
n national conventions
At the meeting of the national COM
mittee last night there was an informal
discussion on the subject OF throwing
overheard the solid South in their
conventions. Without the col
ored delegates of tho South
Harrison would have been 100 in the
minority; without the vote of the federal
office-hOlding delegates Harrison would
have been l63 votes short of O majority.
The national committee, still in the ranks
OF the ants and Garrison, SAYS that
the next convention will be composed
Of delegates appoTtioned 20 states accord
ing to the number of republican votes
cast. As it is now, the southern states
with scattering votes from the North con-
troll the republican conventions. An appor-
Eionment based on the number OF votes
cast would deprive hundreds of colored
patriots of their quadrennal revenues.
Mr.. Clarkson said that rule will also
be adopted making federal ofice-holders
ineligible to seats in the convention.
These two reforms must be accomplished
or the party will soon be destroyed by the
ofice-holders and the negroes.
The prompt seating Of Committeeman
YoungbIood from A labama last night by
the national committee Is recognized as an
snti-Harrison victory. The Clarkson por-
ton on this test vote had eight Majority.
Oh INDIANA NOteQ Win the Dialne
crowd. Clarkson could have the chair
manship again, but he does not want it for
the reason that he believes that Harrison
cannot be elected, and his defeat would
not help Garrison much.
The Blaine men are inclined to force il
upon him again, but il is thought that
when they have cooled down some they
will allow Harrison to name a chairman
who is in sympathy with him. In such
event Chris Msgee Of Pennsylvania will
probably be the man.
huston is already making fight for the
place and il would not be surprising il
the Blaine men would elect him just for
spite. Harrison does not want him; he
thinks Huston too small for the place, but
he could not well afford to kick against an
Indiana man.
John G. New on leaving this morning
said that he had returned to attend to
some private business and having done so
be would make bee line for London.
Kitchener and the rest of the boomers.

this evening. Rhody intended to return
