NO NEGROES ADMITTED.
Alabama Republican State Convention
VIII BE All silly White"

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 1.-THE Re-
publican executive committee has refused
to admit negro delegates to the state con-
%vention. which meets tomorrow. This ac-
ton was the result of several hours siren
Gus struggle to-day between those OF the
new regime, known as the Lilly Whites
and those not in favor of barring out the
negroes. This means that henceforth the
Republican party in Alabama is to be a
white mans party.
The elimination of the negro was accom-
plished through the passage of a reSolu-
ton, on a vote of IL to 10, adopting the re-
port Of the subcommittee which was ap-
pointed at the meeting of the full commit
tee on Saturday, and which had considered
all contests and passed pom all credentials
presented by delegates throughout the
State. When this report was read to-day
not a single negro's name appeared on it,
although on the list of delegates from more
than one county there were the names OF
negroes when the credentials were given to
the subcommittee for action.
