Montgomery. March 24.-Qspecial)-Th Montgomery county republican convention or conventions were held today. The con- vention was called to meet at the court house, but before anything was done one wing began a little shooting as sort of preliminary gallop, and carried a bolting sprinklng of delegates to Dorsett's hall, where they held meeting of their own.
 It seems that Bingham had majority of the delegates, having carried most of the beats in the county. The Vaughanites, however, depended upon ruling the con vention in their own way through the chairman of the county committee, Allen Hannon; in fact, they wanted the sheriff to turn the keys of the court room over to mission to those whom he claimed were entitled to sit as delegates The sheriff, however, out of fairness to the other side, allowed the use of the room, but said the doors would be thrown open at 12 o'clock noon, and the two sides could agree upon a plan of admission of delegates.
 w. s. Reese proposed that each side give its list of delegates to the deputy sheriff in charge, W. B. Whiting, and that the dep uty sheriff should call the names upon each list, and as each name was called such delegate should go into the hall, and that Allen Hannon should then call the convention to order, the usual temporary organization be effected, and then go on through the regular parliamentary pro-

EMPORIA FINALLY HAS THE LYNCHING Negro and White Man Strung
 Up by the Mob. SOLDIERS HAD JUST GONE The Crowd Who Tried to Protect o'Grady Were Overcome-Some
 Doubt as to His Guilt
 Murder Avenged

Richmond, Va, March 24-The series of exciting events in Greensville county the past week cuminated today in a double lynCning at Emporia. Both Cotton, the negro, who, according to his confession, killed Saunders and Welton, and o'Grady, the White man, were hanged by a mob, variously estimated at from 1,500 to 2,000 strong.
 This morning the sheriff of the county discharged from duty the military that had been sent from this city at his re- quest, and Major Cutchins, in command of the troops, notified Governor Tyler, stat ing at the same time that he believed If the prisoners were left unprotected by the military they would be lynched. The gov ernor replied follows: ''The sole responsibility is on the sher- if. If he orders you to withdraw, you can do nothing but obey. We have done everything possiole to uphold the law and prevent moo violence, and are stiM pre- pared to render any aid necessary. Have recalled train with Captain Cheatwoods s company, and will again dismiss them. ,,..i arrange with railroad to bring your men back
 
 his men and started for Richmond. This was about Il o'clock.
 ..- Mob Goes to Work
 Hardly was the special out of sight when a mob entered the jail, took Cotton, hanged him to the limb of a tree and fired several bullets into his body.
 Later, despite the protests of cooler heads, who claimed that the guilt of the white man had not been established. an- other crowd, composed largely of negroes, entered the jail, overcame the resistance of the few that tried to protect O'Grady, took him out and hanged him also
 The three other prisoners whom Cotton charged with having committed the Blick murder and robbery, were discharged by the judge and left town At last accounts the town had resumed its wonted quietude.
 Governor Tayler said this evening:
 "I feel that have done all could in the matter. The civil authorities stated that they could handle the mob without military assistance and when the sheriff ordered Major Cutcheps to depart, there was noth- ing left for him to do but go.
 "I am greatly distressed at the result, but I could not keep the soldiers there without declaring martial law, and I did net feel that the prevailing conditions war ranted that.
 "The law in reference to such matters will, presume, be carried out. The men who took part in the lynching will, or should be arrested and dealt with accc,-d- ingly. We were given to understand that protection would be given the prisoners. The result shows that this confidence was a abllsed'

MAY TRY TO
 DEFEAT SENATOR MORGAN

week Huntington made a speech in opposi- tion to the building of the Nicaraguan ca- nal. Ut had been claimed by some of his friends in congress that Huntington was an advocate of the canal, and the speech created something of a sensation at the time.s It now develops that for two years Huntington has been working secretly in opposition to the proposed canal legisla- ton. Now that all other efforts to defeat the canal project have apparently failed, it is said that Huntington is at the head of the movement to defeat the reelection of the leaders in the movement in the senate.
 ''It is not stated whether or not there is any understanding between Huntington and Governor Johnston, of Alabama"
