EIGHT BALLOTS TAKEN

Charles w. Anderson named Mr..
j Smith for the honor and the second
Ing was led by Mr.. Solomon followed
by many others. The first ballot show
ed the votes divided between three
candidates: DR.. llMfus Johnson, Robt.
Conkling's candidate, with 235; Mar
tin Ansorgc, 234; and MILFORD II.
Smith lis. This remained about tho
way tho votes were cast through sew
on ballots.
On the eighth ballot, the delegates
from the Dist which had been divid
ing its vote between Johnson and
Smith, switched bodily to Ansorgc
This change of face was brought
about; it is alleged. by some kind OF
compromise agreement between
Conllin and colorcd leaders, John
M Royl and Alderman George W.
Harris. These mon, it is declared
threw their Influence to the white can
didatc and thus made it ossiblc for
Conlllin to respond 10 the roll call on
the eight ballot with the announce
ment that the 21st 4. y. cast solid
vote for Ansorgc.
This mdac the selection Of Mr.. An
was clincheil further Ivy the swinging
over Of the card 4. D., vote. which
had been cast soldly for Or. Johnson
'Thc selection was finally made unani
NOUS by the entire delegation with
out a dissenting vote.
COLORER WOMEN STOOD FIRM
IT Was a noteworthy fact that col
ored women, present for the first
time as delegates, stood firmly for
the candidacy Of the colored man, and
they refused to he stanpeded even
by the representation OF the coloreh
men who entered into the agreement
which killed the chance for Negro
congressional nominee.
Another circumstance worthy OF
note and to remembered by the true
hearted race voter is the sup
port given Mr.. Smiths candidacy by
the 10Th A. D., A. Murtha and Dave
Costume. These white men had prom
ised to support a Negro candidate
for congress and they kept their prom
Use to the end.
CHARLES w. ANDERSONS
EFFORTS.
In this attitude these men allied
themselves with Charles W. Ander.
son and were in frequent consulta.
ton with the colored leader in n
tempting to bring about the nomina.
ton Of the colored candidate. 1t was
interesting to note that while the Jew
,ish delegates from all the districts
gave their support consistently to
Ansorge the Negro delegates frsm
the 18th A. D., neglected entirely tho
claims of Mr.. Smith. The 18th vote
was cast sclidly from beginning to
end for Mr.. Ansorge.
Charles W. Anderson fought con.
sistently and earnestly against the ef
fcrts Of the other colored leaders to
bring about coalition with tho fore.
es favoring tho nomination Of
white candidate as against n colored
man, but it was impossible to over.
come the combinations finally effect.
ed when the Conklin forces swung
not only their white delegates but the
co]ored men also to the support Of
tie 18th district man. The regular Re
publicans OF the 21st congressional dis
trict will give their united support to
tho candidacy Of Martin Ansorge. but
