Revised Roll of Delegates. Pro-
ceedings Of the First Day
Were Of Routine
Nature.

riety are members Of the convention.
Evans was elected president of the
convention, Congressman Talbert and
Speaker Jones, the opposing candi-
dates, withdrawing from the race.
The principal thing the convention
has before it is the regulation of the
suffrage, SO as to disfrancE as many
negroes as possible, without disfran
chising y single white man, except for
crime, and maintain white suprena-
cy."
This is the doctrine of the domi-
nant element in the State, and it is
proposed by them to adopt the Missis
sippi plan with notifications, leaving
everything to the Judgment of the su-
pervisor of registration and managers.
of election.
Of the leo delegates there are only
40 all told who ere out-and-ont oppor-
ents of the party in power. What will
be done by the convention is purely a
matter Of conjecture.
Plenty Of female suffragists, headed
by Mrs. Viola Neblett, the vice presi
dent of the State Equal Rights Asso-
citation, are camping in the capital lob
bies, pushing their cause. Exon
gressman Tillman if he cnunot get a
property qualification for male suff-
rage, is going to champion a 5000 pro-
perty qualification for males and fe
males alike OF both races.
As to what the convention will do
that still remains doubtful. Tt looks
now as if an effort is to be made to
engraft the backbone of the dispenssry
law into the constitution. There are
Ens ns an bgt ct
the talking kind. The prospectus is
that the sessions of the convention will
certainly continue for five weeks.
The convention accomplished very
little on Tuesday. The officers were
elected and committee on credentials
was appointed. Then the convention
took recess until night. 1t is thought
that night sessions will be held from
the very first SO as to expedite the
work of the convention as much as
possible.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
oany provided for the speedy trans
mission of information from the con-
vention hall. It has run wire into
jbe building and expert operator
White, who was in tie last State cam
oaign, has beer sent from Richmond,
Va, to manipulate the key. It will
be q great convenience to the news
paper correspondents and the reading
public generally.
The fight for the public printing of
lhe convention is waxing warm. The
battle between the Register and the
Evening News has been pretty hot for
some time. Now it is announced that
the Bryan Printing Company has put
in bid and this makes the situation
somewhat different. IT is hard to tell
who will get it. There has been good
deal of lobbying going on in regard to
this matter. A great many are watch
ing the fight with keen interest, hut
the nau is not Twin. who can tell
what the convention will do in regard
to the matter.
