e n--Postmaster Alexander in
g the Meeting.
. Republican Convention of the
| Coneressional Distriet, which met
L .wson Thursday, was an interesting
" 1 amusing assemblage to the specta-
The meetine was composed largely of
e s v
'+ o whrotier in black,”” and their ideas
o oarliamentary rules and usages, and
v a convention should be run, were
Jdierous in many instances.
There were but three white men who
ok part in the meeting. These were
¥, Brimberry, postmaster at Albany,
i . Alexander, postmaster, at Dawson,
OW. B. Gibson. The former was here
< chairman of the Republican committee
i the district, and the latter as two of
Terrell county’s tour delegates.
When the convention met in the court
ouse there twenty-nine delogates pres
ut. Baker, Colquitt and Miller being
he only counties not represented.
Before calling the cenvention to order
[ajor Brimberry stirred around promis
wously among the colored contingent
nd neld a private caucus with a number
f them in an ante-room, and, so it was
inted by some of the delegates on the
oor of the convention, made out a slate
hat was successfully put through,
e Brimberry faction winning in every
stance where a contest was had.
It was a few minutes aftev 12 o’clock
‘hen Chairman Brimberry rapped with
heavy cane and called the body of
centlemen, fellow ecitizens and republi
ans” to order, and stated the object of
ie meeting, In his remarks Major
rimberry took occasion to give his eol
ed friends a liberal amount of taffy,
d to extol the virtues of the Republi
n party, while the Democratic party
me in for a severe rasping.
He told the negroes that for 20 years he
d met in convention with them and was
t ashamed of it, and that a great desire
his had been always to make them
orerespectable. As the Major warmed
)to his subject he said to them that
der the law they are equal to any man,
d have equal rights, and that he, in
mmon with the Kepublican party, was
utending for these rights for the
gro. He then biought up the charge
ainst him of making an incendiary
eech in a similar convention at Camilla
oyears ago, and at times grew lurid in
nunciation of the attack made upon
S utterances there. He said that the
ng and villainous press then basely
srepresented him by accusing him of
king anincendiary speech, ‘‘My incen-
Iy utterance at that town,” he said,
here I unfortuately lived for fifteen
IS, was to warn you colored people
keep away from the low whisky dives
not be debauched by Democrats
0 would buy your votes with cheap
isky. If that be incendiarism, I will
in make an incendiary speech here
lay., I said nothing at Camilla that [
Lot now repeat. What I did say was
B!y exaggerated by the lying, ten
tpapers. You know who did it, and
S unnecessary to call bis name. The
0 who wrote it knew that he penned
B chood, and he is baser than hell
I£” The Major referred to his four
s service as a Confederate soldier,
t said he left the Demcratic party
T the war because he could not en-
Se Its principles. He said in conelu
thet the Republican party was for a
¢ ballot, while the Democratic party
Id steal your vote—and the man who
Ud steal your vote would steal your
ey,
