In Accordance With Announcements Hade in This Paper, the Eepublican* Held A "Esueing" Meeting at the Oouit Home Friday The Chairman of the republican party of Gwinnett county, James A. Johnson, called the meeting to order. The Secretary, Mr. Moore, bring absent, M. M. Hooper, col,, was elected secretary pro tem. The meeting being ready for the transaction of business, a mo tion was made and carried to go into the election of delegates to the Ninth congressional district convention of Republicans, to be held at Gainesville on the 17th inst. It being apparent that the negroes were greatly in the major ity. having twenty-eight votes to eight white, some discussion was indulged in as to whether all the delegates should be colored. It was finally agreed upon that each race should be represented, and the following ticket, consisting of W. C Cole, W. H. Morrow, col., Dan Barnes, col., and W. S. Mitch ell, was elected. Then the election of delegates to the State convention, to be held in Atlanta on the 7th day of March, was held, and B. T. Neal, col., M. M. Hopper, col., W. 8. Sims, col., and W. C. Cole were elected. W. C. Cole offered resolutions, endorsing the administration of President McKinley, and recom mending that this convention in struct its delegates to the State convention to vote for W. H. Johnson, R. R. Locke, Judson Lyons and Henry Rucker, as dele gates from the state at large to the next Natioual republican con vention to be held in Philadelphia. The reading of this resolution brought half a dozen to their feet at the same time. Dan Barnes, col., was recognized by the chair, and moved that this meeting en dorse one white man and one col ored as delegates from the state at large, and leave its delegates un lnstructed as to the other two. 'Squire Cole was the next speaker, and made the point that, if this convention instruct its delegates for whom to vote, and this plan be adopted throughout the state, it would cut off all opportunities of buying votes at the State con vention. M. M. Hooper, col., was quick to reply to this argument, and said that, if the convention believed that he could be bought out, it might nominate another delegate instead of himself. Mid Brogdon arose and said, “We want to send you, but we want to tie your hands before you go.” The next on the floor was L. R. Brogdon who made a speech in behalf of the four delegates. Green Davis, col., and others were heard from, but an agreement was not reached till Deveraux, of Savannah, was substituted in the resolution for Judson Lyons. The resolution was then adopted and the meeting adjourned. w. c. cole’s resolution. Lawrenceville, Ga., Feb. 2, 1900.
