REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

There is great dissatisfaction
in Worcester county among a
large and influential element
of the Republican party be-
cause of the bossism manifest
ed by their leader, and in Snow
Hill district especially, the slo-
gan is "Down with the Boss"
Prior to last Saturday a number
of those who had been Republi-
cans all their lives made pre-
parations to make a fight in the
primaries. The Boss saw the
storm brewing and fearing
that it would terminate in a
hurricane that would sweep
him out of control he made ad
vances to the opposition and
proposed a compromise. This
was not accepted. Finally,
however, he agreed to give
them half of the delegates to
the County Convention. This
overture was accepted and the
primaries were without contest.
Like Banquo's ghost, the troub-
lie in the party will not down,
until there is a change in lead
ership, and it showed itself in
the convention held here Tues
day. Charles o. Melvin was
made chairman of the conven-
ton and David Hickman was
secretary. While the conven-
ton was i'm session several
things occurred which showed
that all was not harmonious
even though the Boss had a
majority of the delegates ready
to do his bidding. Mr.. Melvin
made a motion to endorse Hon.
Stephen A. Williams for the
nomination for Governor, but
the Boss ordered the motion to
be voted down. A motion was
then made that the delegates
sent to the State Convention
some of whom were opposed to
the Boss, should vote as a unit.
This was done that the ants on
the delegation might have their
hands tied and be compelled to
do the bidding of the Boss. Mr..
James E. Wimbrow saw this
move and made objection to it.
He was supported by other del
egates, but they were voted
down in rapid. fire order.
The opposition to the Boss
do not hesitate to declare that
they have no say in party af-
fairs and they only receive
what he condescends to hand
out to them. They have not
the nerve, however, to put up a
real fight against him and lack
competent leader to do it. He
has the delegates to the county
convention which will meet
later on and will nominate a
ticket regardless of their desires
and they will walk up like good
little fellows and vote the ticket.
= And yet they cry aloud
"DOwN WITH THE BOSS
The delegates to the State
convention are : Zadok p.
Wharton, Asbury G.. Riley, DIR.
S. S. Quinn, William f. Blunt
