MOREHEAD CHAIRMAN.
Butter and Allies in Saddle
Harmonious Ending of Contest.

Greensboro Special, 10Th. toWilmngton Star.
The Republican State conven-
ton this afternoon named Con-
gresham John Motley Morehead
as chairman of the State execu-
tive commi' tie, by unanimous
acclaim, the other candidates,
John E. Carl Duncan and Major
J. E. Alexander, having with
drawn from the contest after
their names had been placed be-
fore the convention.
It was harmonious ending of
a contest, which at one time
bore evidence of having in it the
germ of serious party disruption.
Mr.. Morehead's speech of
acceptance breathed an intensely
progressive and eminently fair
spirit. The keynote of his cam
paign has been the abolition of
the former referee system under
which the Republican party has
been operated with reference to
Federal appointments, and that
idea was emphasized in his speech
Of acceptance.
The convention also endorsed
and heartily recommended the
administration of the retiring
State chairman, ex-Judge Spen-
Ger B. Adams, a ringing resolu-
ton of thanks for his faithful
ness and fairness and eminent
services being unanimously
adopted.
i The convention was organized
! for business by the election of
Thomas Settle, of Asheville, as
permanent chairman. He receiv
ed 1877 votes to 378 for H. G.
