The CoIored Delegates Choose Contest
ing Delegation to st. Louis.
ATLANTA, Ga, April 30.-The Georgia
Republican convention declared for gold
standard and then A f.. Buck, j. H.
Deveraux, H. A. Rucker and H. l.. John
son were nominated for delegates-at-large
TO the st. Louis convention. The selec-
tion did not satisfy the negroes, who
wanted r. r. Wright as one of them and
they howled and waved their arms and
raved wildly as they pushed towards the
speakers stand
AS soon as the uproar began Colonel
Buck yielded the gavel to Mr.. Walter
Johnson and retired. The negroes swarmed
about Mr.. johnson, and shouted hoarsely
in his ear as they shook their fists in his
face. Mr. r. r. Wright yelled for the roll
TO be called. The police were called for
ward and cleared the speakers stand, but
as soon as the bluecoats disappeared the
mob surged again about the chair, and
Wright again mounted the stand.
Chairman johnson caught hi m by the
leg and tried to put him down. He was
about to fall and threw his hand back to
steady himself 1t caught in the chair.
mans collar. Ten or more black hands
shot out from in front of the stand and
pulled Wright to his feet, and he resumed
his speech, while the chairman tried to
free himself. The stand was partially
cleared again, and the chair received mo-
ton to elect the four delegates named,
put the motion and declared it carried.
He then left the stand.
Suddenly portly man forced an open
ing between the negroes, snatched the
gavel and in very excited manner called
the convention to order, and in the midst
of the din nominated Rev X. Love as
chairman of new convention. Love was
declared elected, and howled out speech
heard only by those within six feet of him.
1t was decided to call the roll for the pur-
pose of electing Wright in place of john
son.
A list of counties was obtained and a
man started with it to the stand, but was
"held up on the way and the list stolen.
found, so committee was appointed one
from each congressional district to nomi-
nate four delegates from the state at large.
Another committee was appointed to re-
port platform and then the delegates
who had howled themselves tired, lapsed
into quietude to wait for the report of the
committees.
The bolting convention finally ad-
journed after indorsing Buck and John
son, two of the delegates named by the
regular convention, and r. r. Wright

thcy Will instruct the delegates to support
him at St Louis The friends of Senator
Shelby M. Cullom will do all in their
power to prevent instructions for McKin-
ley. This morning both sides are on the
alert, but not even the leaders themselves
can predict with any degree of certainty
what the result will be-
The platform is unyielding and em-
phatic in its demands for honest money,
and opposes "any and every scheme that
will give this country currency in any
way deprecated or debased'
The delegates at-large decided upon by
the committee appointed for that purpose
are as follows: David Il. Littler of Spring
field, Ex-Governor Joseph w. Fifer of
Bloomington, William Penn Nixon, ed
itor of the Chicago Inter-Ocean, ard r.
Patterson, editor of the Chicago Tribune
The committee appointed to choose pres
idential electors selected Rabbi e. G..
Hirsch of Chicago and General Horace S.
Clark of Mattoon.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, April 30.-Robert EN-
ory Pattison was yesterday unanimously
and enthusiastically indorsed as the choice
OF the Democracy of Pennsylvania for the
presidential nomination at Chicago. The
sound money gold standard platform pro-
vided for him to go before the people upon
pledges the sixty-four delegates chosen
yesterday to earnestly support Mr.. Pat
tison.
National Chairman William e. Harrity
achieved personal triumph second only
10 that of Mr.. Pattison. Everything he
asked for he got, and his "unit rule" in
structing the delegates to Chicago to abide
by the will Of the majority, went through
with even less opposition than had been
expected.
The delegates and visitors made almost
hero of Mr.. Harrity besieging him with
their attentions whenever he appeared in
public. The platform adopted and speeches
uttered showed no indications of despair.
The spirit of harmony prevailed to a
| greater degree than for several years, and
everybody seemed to think that the name
of PattisOn will work wonders in the state
this fall, if his candidacy for the plesiden-
! tial nomination is indorsed at Chicago.
The program as outlined in yesterday S
! dispatches was carried out with little al
teration William B. Given, of Lancaster,
was temporary chairman and Dwight M.
Lowry was chosen permanent chairman.
The ticket chosen is as follows:
Congressmen-a at-large NJ. Braden
of Washington county and Benjamin @.
Potts of Delaware county.

Robert e. Wright, j. Henry Cochran,

DENVER, April 3O.-Ex Governor Robert
E. Pattison, of Pennsylvania, arrived in
Denver yesterday from a tour through the
Black Hills with a party of Pennsyl-
vanians, He said he had been aware of a
movement in Pennsylvania with a view
to his Endorsement for the presidency, but
he did not know in advance that it was
the intention to give him such an indorse-
ment. He said he stood on the platform
adopted by the Pennsylvania convention,
but he could not say what steps he would
take If the Democratic national convention
should declare for the free coinage of silver
at 10 to l.

Defeat for Free silver in Michigan.

DETROIT, April 3O.-Sound money had
won acomplete victory when the Michigan
Democratic state convention adjourned
shortly after o'clock last night On the
questions which were most closely con-
tested this victory was accomplished by
the narrow margin of fifty-eighty major
ity out of total of some 800 votes. The
free silver contingent took their defeat
hard, but there is no anticipation of any
bolt to speak of, although such talk was
indulged in by few of the radicals. The
delegates-at-large to Chicago are Elliott
@. Stevenson, Thomas A. f. Weadock,
Robert r. Blacker and Peter White.

Vermont Republicans for Mckinley.

MONTPELIER, April 30.-The depth and
breadth of Republicanism in the Green
Mountain state was made manifest in yes
terday's state convention. In a perfect
furore of enthusiasm the convention de
clared its preference for Mckinley as u
presidential candidate by a separate PESO
luton, but withheld instructions as to
how the Vermont delegation should vote
at the national convention. This latter
action was the result of compromise by
the Reed, men whose desire for declara-
tion for their man was met by predic-
tion of Mckinley men that in such an
event the platform would surely declare
for Mckinley first, last and all the time,
to forestall any convention instructions.
