He quoted from the late U. S. census to
show the country's growth between

wages paid and in money paid out for
educational purposes, ,and then very mod
estly gave all credit to the republican
administration. Mr.. Rowley was gen
erously applauded.
There was considerable wrangling
among the delegates. Where so many
colored patriots are gathered together in
the name of politics there is bound to
be a talkfest. Many of 'em tried to
talk at one time and Chairman Rowley
had difficulty in holding the body to
the question. There was frequently a
half dozen propositions before the house
at one time.
But the delegates were finally elected.
Those who will go to the state conven-
ton are Geo. E. Gay, ]. S. Rowley, j.
