4 Republican Rumpus.
An interesting row is brewing in the Re
publican Eleventh district camps, due to
the alleged Partially shown by District
Census Supervisor Alderman of Dublin in
his recent Glynn county appointments,
and as this is the headquarters of The
District Committee and Chairman Belch-
ers home town, it would not be surpris-
ing if Supervisor Alderman did not have
a warm time ahead of him. Ia all grew
out of appointments and an alleged inter
view with Supervisor Alderman, publish
ed in Savannah and Atlanta, in connec-
ton with the experimentation interview
which Akerman has taken pains 10 deny
in letters to the colored Republican papers
and 90 The Republican leaders, but which
so far the general public has not seen
and which the Republican leaders here
are anxious for him to publish in the
same papers in which the alleged inter
view appeared
1t seems that Alderman claimed that not
enough competent white men applied for
Jobs as census enumerators in Gynn, or
he would have given Congressman Brant-
ley's home county more white men as a
compliment to the congressman. Alderman
denies he said this. and alleges that the
correspondent at Dublin misquoted him.
Alderman also in the alleged interview
throws off on the colored Republicans In
Glynn. This he also denies.
The amusing feature of the business is
that James G. Carter, very intelligent
and much-liked colored man here, who
acts as editor of Chairman Belcher's pa
per and as his right hand man, says that
Alderman, in addition TO throwing off on
the colored men, has given the white
Democrats good local districts and has
given him a district in which the inhabi-
tants are mostly occupants of two ceme-
teries, one crematory and several pest
houses, and he canno< figure how to make
q living by taking this district at the so
much-per-head rates that the government
allows enumerators. More developments
are awaited and the Republicans are stir
red up over the situation.
