LARGE ATTENDANCE.
Republican Convention Of The Old
North State In Session.
THE GREATEST INTEREST LIES.
PopuIists and Republicans Confer
Senator Butler willing for n Deni
News.

RALEIGH. y. c., May 1.-The Republi-
can state Convention did not meet until
nearly / o'clock this afternoon. There
is a large attendance. 1t IS perhaps the
best convention ever held in North Caro-
lima. State-Chairman Holton, in speech
after calling the convention TO order,
said that the party would sweep the
State this year. A Committee on Creden-
tials was appointed and the convention
adjourned in thirty minutes. 1t did not
reassemble until s O'CLOCK, so numerous
were the contested seats. 1t is the belief
that the convention will not adjourn be-
fore late tomorrow night. 1t Is asserted
that Senator Pritchard win head the dele
gates-at-large to the national conyen-
ton The greatest interest Is in
the nomination for Governor. Five
names-those Of Oliver II. Dockery,
Daniel l. Russell. James Il. Boyd, James
NJ Moody, and V. S. Lusk-will be placed
before the convention. Lusk IL to be per-
manent chairman The offices of Lieu
tenant-Goyernor, Treasurer. and Secretary
OF State are to be left open to
be filed by the Populists when they hold
their State convention, or II the latter
declines 10 fill them. the boiling Populists
who are now afiilating with the Republi-
cans will do so. There was meeting OF
these boiling Populists with Republican
Conference Committee to-day, and they
relinauished their demand that they be
allowed TO name the candidate for Gov
ernor
Spler Whitaker was chairman or their
committee and he withdrew as soon as
this backdown occurred. lie says the
Populists I'm the Eastern part OF the
state save those I'm Vance county. follow
him fully and endorse his course. IL Is
quite clear that the mass Of the Popu-
lists are backing Senator Butler in the
disposition that there shall be no fusion
or cooperation with the Republicans
unless the latter pledge themselves TO
,,ota for frae-silver men only.
