Hudson died at Shelby yesterday.- Benj. Tipton, editor of the Mount Holly News died yesterday. The dwelling of R. E. Lancaster, of Raleigh, was entered and set-on fire Sunday night.

The Cleveland men yesterday morning were claiming 580 votes certain for Cleveland on the first ballot, but the anti Cleveland men say he has only a little over a majority. The uncertain feature of the situation is the attitude of Gorman. The Gorman men are trying to draw Southern delegates from Cleveland. The Pennsyl vania delegation has instructed its chairman to cast their vote for Cleveland. The na tional committee has decided to recommend Pol Owens, of Kentucky, for temporary rluirman: this the Cleveland men will an tagonize on the floor of the convention, thus ,i,, tost, of strentrtn. uomimiteeuieu from several Cleveland States voted for Mr Owens.

His "sayings" fill nearly a page of the Progressive Farmer issued this evening. He says: "The people tried to rule in the last 'State convention. Every effort was made to stifle the voice of the reformers. The outcome was a mongrel compromisjp ticket -and catchpenny plat form.

It was a gracious condescension on the part of pure Democracy to leave this field open for the people and they should make the most of it. Any man who is conscientious, of a good moral character, honest, andamply able to fulfill the duties of the office to which he may aspire and will receive the instructions of his people not to be dictated to by party policies, party bosses, party conventions nor caucuses, such a man will do and see to it you elect no other if possible. It don't matter so mucli about the name so you get thrifty and vigorous with a good stand. The past week has caused rapid growth. Wheat is reported at many places as the best crop Sot years. Harvesting commenced last week and has been pushed rapidly during this week. Rust, which had attacked the blade in a few places, did not have time to affect the grain. Oats also will yield an excellent crop. Corn, upland and lowland, is in good condition. Laying by has commenced. The stand of peanuts in the Eastern district is poor. The weather the coming week will continue warm with frequent showers. . Eastern district The weather has been excellent during the week, as well for har vesting wheat and oats as for growing crop3. In someplaees, however, rain is beginning to be needed. The yield of wheat is very food, oats fairly good. Shipping Irish 'otatoes is the order of the day. Corn is being "laid by." Rains reported: Wilming ton, 0.60 inches; Goldsboro, 0.51; Lumberton, 0.69; Newbern, 1.69; Weldon, 0.25. Central district Harvesting of wheat has been pushed rapidly and is completed at many places. The crop is a splendid one. Oats are also good. Another week of favor able weather will finish the harvest. The warmth of the past week has caused rapid growth of other crops. Cotton is small but vigorous, tobacco thrifty, all crops well cleaned. Rains reported: Raleigh, 0.41 inch. Western district Harvesting wheat and oats was also the chief event of the week in this district. For this purpose the weather was just what was wanted. The wheat and oat crop is good. There is some complaint of getting too dry now. Norains reported except Charlotte 0.80 inch on the 19th. of the Mount morning, ageu a widow brother of and Col. John C. Tipton, of the Shelby Review.

The people have been leit to take care of themselves, let them exercise wisdom and prudence and do it in the most feasible and practicable manner. "Many friends of reform take for trranted that the principles and policies embodied in the ucala or t. lxuis platform covers the whole ground for which they are contend ing. Not so. There is an issue growing out of the very nature of the contest over and above all. lhe issue is between the people and plutocracy. Shall the people rule, or shall plutocracy? Shall ihis be a Govern ment of the people, by the people and for the people, or the Government hy the few for the .few? This is the erowning issue, and let no man forget it. The demands set forth at Ocala and St. Louis pale into insig nificance by it. As the fundamental aim and purpose of the reform movement is not to attack or demolish old institutions or or ganizations, but to utilize all instruments and powers available to aehieve its pur poses ; therefore you will not antagonize the Prohibition party nor the Republican party nor the Democratic party as organizations, but whenever vou can get a true representative 01 your principles, ca pable and honest, you can support him. llo w lar is it just and proper to pledge a representative? You can pledge every Prohibitionist on the Third party platform: you can pledge every Republican on the Repucliban State platform; you can pledge every Democrat on the Democratic State platform, and you caff pledge every Alli anceman on the Ocola demands, and you can pledge every People's party man on the St. Louis demands until a State platform is made. The State platforms are superior in authority to the the national Dlatf orms and t ie platforms of any social compact are su perior to the State platforms. tThis follows Irom the principles or home rule. State sovereignty and the right that' the voice: of the people should be heard direct through their representatives in legislative councils. The opposite of this is centralization, oligarchy and imperialism. What is the nature of the pledges you should make? The same as above stated. That a represen tative will not compromise a platform of superior dignity to one of an inferior au thority. No social compact to State plat forin, no State platform to national plat forms, no national platforms to cau cuses. How faj sha.n we pledge? This depends on the nature of the situa- tion. Pledge as far as you can on. these honest and true principles, keeping in mind that a half a loaf is better than no bread. pledge honest men at all? It is done partly ff fjjeir relief from imperious party custom. A WW elected under a cer tain set of pledge js thereby en abled to escape the frown, pjid cen sures of hi colleagues and his influence is not jeopardized, and he voices toe wisn of his people untrammll and it tends to breaK up ceniraiizawoj jiuu iui;r4iiiu Who shall be pledged?

The President Recommends Retalla Hon on Canada The Autt-Optlon BUI to be Reported Next Wek. Washington, D. C, June 20. The Senate Judiciary committee,; to which the Anti- Option bill was referred last Thursday, held its first session for weeks to-day and after considering the measure for two hours ad journed until next Thursday, when its con sideration will be taken up again and pushed to completion. It is expected now that the bill will be certainly reported next week. The conferees on the River and Harbor appropriation bill are not making any pro gress toward an agreement. After reaching an amicable understanding relative to nearly all' of the important points of disagreemen between the two Houses the conferees failed completely to agree upon two Senate amend mends embodying the Lake Washington canal and the Dalles boat railway project in Oregon. They reported this disagreement to their respective Houses and were in structed to insist upon the disagreement. They have carried out this instruction to the letter and, indeed, so faithfully that the idea of a free conference with the intention to reconcile the differences seem to have cut no figure; for neither side was willing to sur: render a single point. When the last meet ing adjourned the conferees 011 the part of the House were given to understand that there would be no further meeting until they were prepared to make some conces sions. The House conferees do not feel that they can do this without violating their in structions, but the Senate conferees are de termined not to sacrifice the cardinal prin ciples of a free conference, so the prospect of special action upon the biu is not particu Ifi'rly encouraging. Washington, June 20. In a State paper sent to the Senate to-day in answer to the resolution of February 24th last, calling for information relative to the reciprocity ne gotions with Canada,the President sounds the dpat.h knell of that Droiect and plants a mile post in American history by deliberate ly, in effect, recommending that Congress pro ceed to retaliate upon the Dominion for its persistent denial of the rights of American citizens (guaranteed by the treaty of Wash ington) in connection with the navigation of Canadian canals. The failure of the re ciprocity negotiations is diie to the position taken by Canadian representatives at their recent conference in W aahington with Sc retary Blaine and John W. Foster, which, in effect, was that it would be impossible for the Canadian Government, in view of its present political relations and obligations, to extend to American goods preferential treat ment over those ot others countries. as Can ada was part of the British Empire, they did FROM CHICAGO.

Chicago, June 19 The arrival of dele gates has been marked by more methodical work for the Cleveland movement! One evidence of the work of the Cleveland men is shown to be in the efforts that are being made to reduce the size of the field to be en tered against their leader. In each State where there has been talk of the entry .of favorite sons Cleveland men will be put at work to prevent the nomination of dark horses. " . . Whitney believes in organization and will thus reinforce the popular sentiment, which, it is said, makes Cleveland a stronger candi date than any other Democrat. . r The Michigan delegation arrived yesterday and came out strongly, for Cleveland. Michigan Democrats are in high feather over the decision of the Supreme eourt yes. terday in their favor. A number of West Virginia Democrats also put in their appearance, and. unless Gorman is put in nomination, it is predicted in at Cleveland will get all ot the votes 01 that State, except, perhaps, two, which are regarded as a little doubtful.

The President says: "It is not for this Goqernment to argue against this announce ment 01 Canadian omciai opinion. 11 must be accepted, however, 1 think, as the state ment of a condition which places an insep erable barrier in the way of the attainment of that large and beneficial intercourse and reciprocal trade which might otherwise De developed between the United States and the Dominion- From the documents accompanying ine President's letter, it appears that an effort was made by Secretary Blaine and Mr. Fos ter at the recent conference to induce the Canadian Ministry to repeal and abandon the drawback of eighteen cents per ton given to wheat (grain) that is carriedihrough Canadian canals to Montreal and shipped therefrom to Eurone.

Thi weather crop report issued by the State weather .bureau for the week ending this afternoon says that unusually favorable conditions have prevailed everywhere, the weather having been just what was desired, warm and dry, with abundant sunshine. Beneficial showers occurred in .he . Eastern district on the 17th and 18th, in the Central onthe evening of the 18th and in the West ern on the 19th. Under -these favorable con ditions crops have made splendid progress, and have been thoroughly cleared of grass. The general condition of the crops w exbeL lent.

It is a matter of regret that the Canadian Government has not responded promptly to our request for removal of their discriminating tolls. The papers sub mitted show how serious the loss inflicted is upon our lake vessels and upon some of our lake ports. In view of .the fact that the Canada commissioners still contest with us the claim that these tolls are discriminating and insist that they constitute no violation of the letter of the spirit ot Article z, 01 tne treaty, it would seem appropriate that .Con gress, it the view neid dv tne executive is is approved, should with deliberation and et with promptness, tafce suck steps as may e necessary to secure the just rights of our citizens, in view ot delays which nave al ready taken place in transmitting this cor- r3pon.(iice to Jongress, 1 naye not ien justinediu atfaitjng for the communication from the Government of i Canada, which was suggested in the recent' conference Should anv proposition relating to this mat ter b? received jt will be immediately sub m'niaii "fm tha consideration of the Senate. and1 if forwarded within the time suggested wU unaouDteoiy anticipate any miai action Volni4incw23 documents accompanym tv TWident'r lette compose the history o aTi the negotiations with British celtnjes to the -North yard upon these two ubject reciprocity and caqlteMa sition to Cleveland is not wholly confined to Tammany Hall. When a strolling delegate now drops into the Hill headquarters and inquires for information as to the condition of the Empire State the reply invariably comes from some country delegate, who is not a member of Tammany Hall, but who declares quite as emphatically as could Messrs. Croker, Murphy or Sheehan, that Cleveland cannot possibly receive the electo ral vote of the State of New York. The star of Grover Cleveland is in the ascendency to-night. Every shifting of the political constellation in the past twenty-four hours has only tended to make it shine forth with greater lustre, until this evening the effulgence of its rays quite ODScures tne lesser ngnts 01 1111, jsoies, Gorman and Gray. The Sabbath day has been observed by the apostles of tariff reform rather in the ministration of the temporal welfare of their forces than in their Christian weal. When the church bells tolled in the early morning, it found the leaders engaged in eager conference in the darkened chambers of the hotels, and when they tolled for even ing serviees it found these conferences still continuing with unabated interest. The opponents of the ex-President are to-night preparing for one final hurculean effort to muster from all the opposition a phalanx of delegates to stand out and prevent Cleveland receiving the requisite two-thirds roie on the first hallot. T hey are somehow imbued with a conviction, and this conviction is rather general, that if Cleveland fails to re ceive the nomination on the enthusiasm of the opening ballot, he will on the succeeding ballots show losses instead of gains and that the disintegration of his forces will be only a question of time, but the day has shown that the Cleveland forces ave swelling rather than diminishing and to-night the rank and nie 01 tne uieveiand iorces are rejecting with disdain the counsel of those conserva tive leaders who warn them against possible defear in nominating Cleveland in face of Tammany, and they reply by avowing that the ex-President is the candidate of the na tion and that his destiny is out of the way of any particular State or faction. Violent altercations are freouent occurences in the lobbies or the leading hotels, and the enthu siasm of the hour is with Cleveland, The Tammany men who have so constantly warned the delegates that the nomination of Cleveland means the loss of the electoral vote of New York in November are waved majestically away by the Cleveland enthu siasm, who declare that the great exponent ot tanir retorm can he elected, it he must, without the' electoral vote of the Empire State. And so, in the impetubsitr of the Cleveland 'movement,' thos6 wavering dele gates, who have been inclined to desert the ex-tresident and go tor a compromise can didate on the grounds ot party expediency. have been won back to their first love, and to-night the names of Gorman and Morrison and iCampbell and Russell. so frequently discuksed a day or two ago. as dark horses are scarcely mentioned in poli t- lcal predictions, lhe oilly avped lresi- dential candidates in the held to-night are Cleveland, Hill and Boies arid the situation is cleared up to thi extent of indicating plainly to aU that dark horses are hot tq be ushered into the political arena unless Cleveland shall fail of the nomination on the first bal lot.

Indiana has given unmistakable evidence that its delegation will not act as a unit and that Gray will hardly receive more than seventeen or eighteen votes from that State. the remaining twelve to thirteen being cast for Cleveland.

Resolutions in very strong language, setting forth the attitude of Governor Flower toward the laboring men in general and the union printers in particular, and protesting against iu y ci o name ueing . useu in uuy capov;ii.jf before the Democratic convention this week, were adopted and will be presented to the Democratic convention. It is expected there will be at least .one thousand signatures to the resolutions. , The "silver phalanx" met in caucus this afternoon at the rooms of the Montana del gation in the Grand Pacific hotel. Prior to the caucus there was not a little tendency shown to arrive a at tacit understanding as to the candidate best available to keep Cleveland out of the nomination. The name most of ten heard was that of Gorman . Hill' s letter was generally discussed and the popularity of the New York Senator with the silver men was visibly increased, but there seemed no growth of confidence that he could win even though Cleveland were successfully shelved. The Western men have not, how ever, got beyond preliminaries and a general movement on their part toward any one candidate is yet premature. - Chicago, June 20. The extravagant claims and pretentious estimates, which liave char acterized the campaign of the Cleveland and anti-Cleveland factions - during the past week, are gradually giving way to facts and figures. "Delegates from every State and Territory are in the city this morning, and tha work of ascertaining the Presidential preferences of the individual delegates is progressing so rapidly and the relative strength of the Cleveland and the anti- Cleveland factions so nearly known that the oniy element 01 doubt now remaining affects those States which are suspected of having secret predilections for favorite sons. The managers of the ex-President's cam paign this morning display, with a great deal of ostentation, a carefully prepared table which gives Cleveland 580 votes on the nrst ballot just nineteen votes short of the nomination. The anti Cleveland factions, among which may be included not only the forces of -Sen ator Hill, but also those of Boies, Gray and the secret, but very earnest, workers of Senator Gorman, deride as unreasonably ex travagant those figures of the Cleveland leaders and Jassert that their investigations show that the ex-President is assured of but little over a majority on the first ballot. They still maintain the f aillure of Cleveland to be nominated on the first ballot will so demoralize his force that a rapid disintegra tion of Cleveland'strength! will immediate ly follow and the race will then beeome one of the dark horses. Probably the most un-' certain feature in the whole contest just at this time is the attitude of Gorman. Heis here as the leader of his State delegation as delegate at large and outwirdly maintains devoted to but despite name is more ot any other as the candidacy this assertion. diseussed than the com pro- that he is of Cleveland, his that mise candidate around whom must rally all the factions and scattering delegates op posed to Cleveland. For seventy-two hours the secret emissaries 01 uorman have been ceaselessly engaged canvassing the Southern delegation to ascertain the disposition which the Southern people ' manifest toward Gor man as , a compromise candidate, but the Cleveland forces a the South, strange to say, do not seem disposed to be inherited by anybody just now; at least not so long as they think there is a hopeful chance for Cleveland. It was conhdently expected by Gorman's friends that his record as leader of the opposition in defeating the Force bill in the Senate would bring to him rapid ac cessions from those Southern delegations, to whose vision the Force bill still looms up as. a political night mare whenever jt$ passage s urged by Northern Kepubiican conventions or orators, a diu- gent canvass of the Southern delegates.how ever, does not show an outspoken preference lor oorman ot more than an average or two or three men in each delegation and the Southerners generally are very emphatic in maintaining that their only choice just at this time is Grover Cleveland. - The protesta tions or Senator: Gorman that he must not be regarded as a candidate' are considered quite natural and, indeed, the inevitable declaration of any candidate who is on the a i - ji . . . i . i groauu, aw ia lue uuwritten law ui demo cratic ethics that no man shall attend a national convention as a seeker for the Presidential nomination. " For this reason the Senator's reiteration of his loyalty to Cleveland and his declaration that he is not a candidate are not received with that un questioned credence which might be award ed to the, declaration Qt we. gl:ear Maryland Senator upon nearly any other subject, and so it is that the man wh'q is. the cynosure of all eyes and whose "movements are rigidly watched to-day by the leaders of the Cleve land forces, is the Senator from the Terra pin State. Three or tour conierences ot tne Indiana delegates have been held, but have been fruitless to secure a compromise by whieh the vote can be cast as a unit. Indications are that in the frst ballot nineteen votes will be east f oi Giav aiid thirteen fof Cleveland. Hon. wm.'C. Owens, of Kentucky, will be temporary chairman of the convention. Watterson has won his fight. The subcom mittee on temporary organization met at 10:30 this morning and decided to "suggest to the national committee the name of Owens for temporary presiding officer. The full committee will meet at noon and adopt the suggestion of the sub-committee.

The tight for the control oi tne temporary organization has been going on quietly since Friday right little of wht t was being done coming to the surface; watterson entered into Vhe "gnt n oenair of his State colleague " with a vim and had jn v. i . :.n ; j -1 r ; suD-committee on temporary organization, nominated for temporary chairman William j. vweus, oi iventucKy. This nomination was seconded by Henry Watterson and ouieis. ju.r. Holt, or lexas, nominated Mr. Wil xuiu-u. ii3on, oi west Virginia. Mr. Hiram Atkinson, of Vermont, seconded the nomination, as did several others Rriof complimentary speeches were made, setting xucrius uie two candidates. While the speeches were going on active conferences were taking place between the uieveiana men. .rcx-secretary Whitney abandoned Cleveland's headquarters for the time being and hovered around the outside with Harrity and other committeemen, whom he had called out of the meeting room. Senator Vilas, of Wisconsin, also came around to see how the fight was going on. They would say . noth ing of their purposes, but apparently wanted some assurances of, what nature could not be learned, from Messrs. Watter son and. Gorman. It was said that one thing they were endeavoring to secure was a public declaration from Gorman that he would not be a candidate. Evidently the assurances wanted were not given, for Mr. Owens' selection was vigorously opposed, but when the roll was called it was found that that gentleman had twenty-eight votes to twenty for Mr. Wilson. The vote in detail by State was as follows : In favor of Owon Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, .Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ken tucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Mon tana, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee. Virginia. Wyoming. Arazona. District, nf Columbia, New Mexico and Utah ; in favor of Mr. Wilson.California Connecticut Kansas Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jer sey, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Khode Island, South Dakota. Texas. Ver mont, Washington, West Virginia, Wiscon sin, Alaska and Oklahoma. Delaware" and South Carolina were temporarily absent when the roll was called and did not vote. After the announcement was made a motion was entered to make Mr. Owens' selection unanimous, but Mr. Holt, of Texas, gave notice that he would present a minority re port to the convention. Whether or not the Cleveland men will make a square test of strength in convention and all of them sup port Mr. Holt on the motion to adopt a minority report remains to be seen. The analysis of the vote in committee shows that it was not a square alignment of the opposing forces on the Presidential ques tion. All the States voting for Mr. Wilson seem ten be States in which the Cleveland sentiment is predominent, unless it is Mis sissippi, but in the list of Mr. Owen's sup porters are to be found several States of whose devotion to Cleveland's interests there can be no doubt. Thus, Michigan, in structed to vote for him as a unit, favored the adoption of the sub-committee's report, as did Massachusetts, which, while it did not instruct for Cleveland because of a State custom, warmly commended him. Illinois. which is usually classed for Cleveland, voted for Mr. Owens and so did instructed Tennes see and rock ribbed Maine, which is a Cleve land State, though its committee member, is doubtful of Cleveland's availability as a win ner in New York. Alaska was admitted to membership m the national committee for the first time, A. K. Delanev being its rep resentative. The commute then heard for the first time officially of the arrangement made for. the holding of the convention. Chairman Jince made a verbal report of what the com mittee of seven, appointed to arrange for the convention had done. The report was satisfactory and the wigwam was accepted. The delegation from Indian Territory' was given tickets entitling them to seats on the floor of the convention- s b. P. hheenn. national, committeeman from Indiana and secretary of the commit tee, it was agreed, should oe recommended as secretary of the temporary organization and he was given authority to appoint ten assistants. Riehard J. Bright, also an Indianian. was elected sergeant-at-arms and given power to itptnjuii, xiccesaary suuoruinaies. Jiaward B. Dickinson, of New York, was anneinted official stenographer. Mexico, was then on oecK seeKing six delegates laatead- of two and she succeeded in getting in all she wanted. It was secured by the adoption of the following resolution, offered by Mr. Field, of Albuquerque: Resolved, That this committee, disclaiming the right to dictate to the convention what ac tion it shall take with reference to the claims ot Arizona and New Mexico to additional representation, recommend that the claims oi New Mexico and Arizona Toe recognized by the convention to the .extent of the ad. mission to the convention, with the repre sentation of the smallest States. If this goes through the convention, and there seems to be no reason to expect that it will not, the four provisional delegates each territory elected will have places in the convention. This will swell the total mem bership up to 904 and make 604. votes neces sary in order to secure, the riqaiintion. t The committee then adjqurrieid. subject to can. South Carolina this rooming decided to go tor uoies, as the best man with whom to de feat Cleveland, to whose nomination they are bitterly hostile. The delegation met during the day and it was agreed to give Boies twelve votes on the first ballot. Of the other six votes three will go for Hill. two to Gorman and one to Cleveland on the first ballot. On the second ballot Boies will get five .of the remaining votes, and," per- naps, aw s.4 oiiouiu ne stand a good chance. xne tafcvfciand men are straining everv nerve to add to their strength on the first ballot and wherever t is possible to consoli date tha State delegation and have it present a solid froiit they are doing it Their greatest work. is. being exerted in the delegations where the Cleveland sentiment is preponder ant. A great deal of pressure was brought by them on Gorman to prevent the use of that gentleman's name as one ajf the opposing iiauiiiuaics, .o-iiay. iney employed every mpai.s ai tnwr command to induce Gorman to publicly announce that he was not a can didate and would not enter the field. Senator Carlysle is less doubtful about Cleveland s strength n New? York1 and is now f Yral .ie Vs. nia cvminaiiqn, , One evidence' of the careful methods the Cleveland people are persuing was. afforded at a; nieetjmt gf the Vermont delegation when the unit rule was adopted and a soli tary anti-Cleveland vote therein made to count for Cleveland. An informal caucus of the Cleveland lead era waa hld at ex-Secretary Whitney's rooms this afternoon, at which, after care ful examination of all figures, it was an nounced that 556 of the delegates, who will go into the convention to-morrow, are. un doubtedly for Cleveland and that at more are probably for him, iuakng a tntal of 592 on tne fiist talfot", or within 7 of the nomi nating amount.'
