| While the committee on credentials was out
\ w. l.. Henderson, a colored delegate, made

oerats They are Republicans" ne SAID I'd be

of men of sense and intelligence, and is there
fore too high for the colored men. Colored
men can't be prohibitionists and can't belong
to the peoples party because they don't I'M
derstand their platforms. The colored voters
are like a drove of mules, who will follow II
| white horse till they get to a mud hole. SO the
colored man will follow Il white prohibitionist
until he gets to the Republican party and right

Everything ran very smoothly until this
iuncture when Mr.; George W: Evans, one me Q OF
o. p. on account of its protection proclivities,
| he deplored the fact that Hartford county with
its $500 Republican votes had not received
sufficient recognition in nominations. Contn-
| uing Mr. Evans said: "There is another thing L
| wish to speak about. No one can dispute the
claims to popularity possessed by Il certain
gentleman from this county, (meaning Mr.. 5.
A. Williams,) but William NJ. Marine proved to
De the MILL stone hung ABOUT MS neck, winch
swamped him at the WaverIy Convention. He
| is the mill stone about the neck of the Repub-
lican party, and if his reign of power continues
| in this State all the Democrats will have to do
is to make nominations and we can dispense
with the necessity of election. His proper
! title should be the wrecker of the Republican
party"
These remarks brought Mr.. Richard Dallam
to his feet who stated that ''it was very bad
grace to wash our dirty linen in the presence
of the enemy. Mr.. Marine for all know may
be fit to be hung, but this is not the place to
pass sentence"
On motion of Mr.. Evans the delegates were
| instructed to use all honorable means to Sc
cure the nomination of George A. Baker of
this county, as their candidate for Congress,
after which the convention adjourned.
| The anti-Marine men were i'll entire control
and although an earnest and bitter fight was
| waged i'll the district primaries by the Collec-
tors appointecs they were defeated in every
| district except one.
