Th C KrrA.ru Our Nominee For CJoTernot There are a great many Democrat s in North Carolina who favored tb: nomination of Governor Holt for tt p double reason that be made a goo 7. Governor, and that he fully deserv ed tbe honor of succeeding hirosel". The strength which he developed i i the convention shows that he has i strong hold on tbe Democracy f this State, and that of itself is a re 1 ognition cf which he may well bd proud. He and his friends who stood fo enthusiastically by bin have cause to congratulate them selves that in choosing his successor the convention made such a happy choice as Elias Carr, whose nomina tion wi'l givo general satisfaction throughout the State. Mr. Carr was not a candidate in the sense ot desiring the nomination, and some time ago wrote a letter declaring that he was not a candid date, and declining to permit his name to be used in that connection, bot he recognizes tbe right of his party to demand service of those in its ranks, and tbe duty of the Dem ocrat when called to obey. He is a farmer, of Edgecombe county, and one ot the best in the State, ODe of the original organizers ot the Alliauce, but has always stood straight within the party lines and discountenanced any independent movement or third party talk. When the St. Louis platform was thrust before the Alliance in tbis State be unhesitatingly condemned it as not only irrational but antagonistic to the reforms for whicn the Alliance was laboring, and contended that there was no reform which the Allb ance sought which could not be bets ter, more easily and more speedily second through the Democratic party than through pny oilier agen cy. Within the Alliance there is no voice in the State more potent tuau his, for he ba always been looked upon aa an able, safe aud sagacious counseller. He has done as much, perhaps, as any man in the State to keep the Alliance within the land marks and curb the revolutionary spirits that sought to lead it astray. Lie is a graduate of the State Uni versity and is, we think, about fifty five years ot age, enthusiastically devoted to his calling, liberal-minded, large-brained, ard in every way well equipped to discbarge the du ties ot tbe high position for which he has been nominated, and to which he will be elected, with credit to himselt and honor and benefit to North Carolina.

Mr. Maverick's quince trees hid blossomed unusually fall this spring .Like tossing billows ot pale pink, the laden boughs hung over the old stone wall, showering rosy petals down at every breeze ; and Patty Price 8fod still with a little ecstatic exclamation of delight, as she came to the taming in the lane. "Quince- blossoms 1" cried Patty, clasping her hands together. "Ob, I must have some to model in wax flowers." For Patty was a city school-ma-'am, out for a fortnight's holiday, and she cried over the viclet-spang-led meads, laughed in sympathy with tbe gold-orbed dandelions, and kissed tbe little downy goslings in tbe most insaue manner or at least so her country cousins thought. And she bad never seen a quince blossom before, and to her artistic eyes it was like a poet's dream of beauty. She was not uulike a human quince-blossom herself, this dove eyed, pink--cbeeked young heroine of oars, as she stood there with the wind blowing back the strings cf her white muslin sun-bat, and her rose colored lawu dress fluttering softly, ''Nonsense," said Mis Araminta Allen, her cousin, who had teen tbe annual marvel of quince-blossoming ever since she was a child, and cared nothing for it. "And they're ou Mr. Maverick's land, too, and he's sueh an awful old bachelor!" ''He could not eat me up, could he, if I stole a lew V gravely des manded Patty. "Just for my wax flowers. And there s a ladder, too, all ready for me !" "Yes," said Araminta Allen, look ing rather apprehensively around, "it's Mr. Maverick's ladder. His man is sticking broken bottles on the top of the wall." "Horrid old savage said Patty. "Tbe children climb over so," ex, plained Araminta, "and steal his standard loses and prize strawber ries, and break off his oleander boughs." "Then why doesn't he give the poor things all they want?:' indig nantly demanded Patty Price. "Tbe idea ot an old bachelor living all alone in that paradise of a place, and grudging a few strawberries or a rosebud to tbe children! Ara minta, I'll tell you what I'm going to have a big banch of those qaince blossoms." "Ob, Patty 1" "Why notf I can just run up the ladder and get them before your old curmudgeon comes oat with his broken bottles and man-traps." "Please, Patty, don't think of such a thing P breathlessly remonstrated Araminta Allen, who had been inoc. ulated from her youth up with tbe jelief that Albert Maverick wa3 the Grand Mogul of Westbrook, and Peter Mackenzie, his gardener, was lis Grand Vizier. "You're not if raid?" said Patty, opening her bine eyes very wide. "Yes, I am," acknowledged Ara minta. "7am not I" cried Patty. And. ike a bird, she flattered up the lad Jer, scaled the heights of the gar Jen wall, and in another minute had both hands lull of pink and white 'luinceiblossoms and buds. "Ob, dear me P cried Araminta. I tcld you sq ! There's somebody coming 1" And away the ran, vanishing into the hedge just as old Mackenzie came arouud the corner cf the wall, with a pail of steaming tar in ooe hand aud a basket of fractured bot tles in the other. And just as Pat ty would have withdrawn her forces iu good order, he nullified her re treat bp briskly pulling tbe ladder awav. "I've got ye tbenooP said he, exultantly. "So you're the bad lit tie lassie a has broke si! our rhouo dendrons off!" "I've never touched tbem !" cried Patty, half terrified halt iudigDaut. "Kemember Auaoias and Sappbi ry," said old Mackenzie, solemuly. "Pat that ladder back !" said Pat- ty, holding ou to her bloomy treas ures. 'Nae,'' said old Mackenzie, T will nae do that, until I've reported tc my master.'' And away he trudged to the house where Mr. Maverick vas reading "Carlyla' in a great hammock un der th2 vine-shaded veranda. "I've caught her, Meester Mauv erick !'' said he. "Caught whom T' said Mr. Maver ick, lrowning a little at tbe inter ruption, as he turned the page. Tne girl as steals our flowers." "Where T" "Up on tbe garden wa-1 !" "Why doesn't she get dowu again ?" "Because I've tooken the bit lad der away !" exultantly auswered old Peter. Mr. Maverick smiled grimly. "Let her stay there, then, until she asks pardon and promises good behavior for the future ! ' said he, and re. lapsed instantly into "Oarlyle." Old Peter went back, chuckling to himself. "Aha, baimy." said he, "my mas ter says ye're to speer his pardon aud promise never to steal flowers again !'' "I won't !" cried indignant Patty. "Suit yoursel', suit yoursel'," said old Peter; and he went to work at some tulip bulbs with the most bar barous indifference. And there sat pretty Patty on the wail, her liitlej feet hanging down among wild hon eysuckles aud Michigan roses, her hair snowed over with the fluttering petals ef the quinca-blossoms, lor whoso sweet sake she h'ad risked so much. "I can't jump," said T Xty to her self, "it's too far ; and I can't clim'b down, for there's a quickset hedge on one side, and a straight, steep wall on the other. And I'll never ask tbe horrid old bachelor's par don, no, not if I sit here for three days !" At the end of an hour or two old Mackeuzie came toward her. "Will ve say ye're sorry V de manded he. "No, I won't !" said Patty. He went back to his master. "She wnnna say she's sorry, sir," said he. "Let her stay there, then,'' said Mr, Maverick, abstractedly. But when the level beams of the sunset peered through the wistaria leaves and danced on tbe pages of "The French Kevolution," Mr. Mav erick threw aside his book with a yawn. "Mackenzie!" said be. "Sir," responded the gardener. "Is that child upon the wall yet?" "There she is, sir." answered the old man, "and there she's like to flay. A wrang-headed. willfu' crea ture as ever I set eyes on." "I'll go out and speak to her my 5 elf,'' said Mr. Maverick, a little im patienily. And Patty, from her lonely height, looked down upon a handsome, middle-aged face, witb dark, laughing i eyes, a beard like jetty silk, and a j rich olive skin. He started back in I blank surprise at beholding, instead I f the gawky, village school-girl for j .vhorn he bad looked, a pretty young ady with blue eyes, floating golden i uair, and a pink muslin dress. "Mackenzie," said he, "there has been a mistake !" "Nae mistake at a?, sir, nae mis take at a','' persisted the old gard ener. "I caught her a-stealin 'em my aiusel' !'' Mr. Maverick turned gravely to the dimpled captive on the garden wall. i "Are you the purloiner of flowers? said he. "Tbe hardened wretch that declines to supplicate lor pardon ?" "Ar you the flinty-hearted old buhelor V saucily retorted Patty, who was tired and hungry and sun- burned, but lesolute still. "Au old bachelor yes, but flinty htarteo: uol Mackenzie !:' "Sir !" "Bring the ladder at once P "But, sir, she baena speereu par don yet !" cried tbe bewildered olJ Scotchman. "Bring tbe ladder, I say P And then, a3 Patty reached tbe ground, be botved ov?. "Will you forgive meT" said he. "For 1 assure you that if I bad known it was any cue but the tor menting little schooUcbildren, tbi should not have happened." "I I only wanted a tew quince- blossoms to pattern my wax flowers after," said Patty, with crimsoned cheek aud quivering lip, "and " Mr. Maveiick glanced down at the faded flowers to which our little heroine still valiantly clung. "And these are all wilted," said be. "Allow me to get you some some mote.'' "Gude save us a' 1" commented old Peter to himself; "here's t' mas ter speeiing pardon of t' lassie, in stead of her to bim ! Is t' world a upseed down ?'' But Mackenzie's astonishment was nothing to that of Miss Ara miula Allen, when she saw Pattv Price come sauntering leisurely home with Mr, Maverick at her side, and laden with blossoming quince Vionghs, and heard him say : "I'll bring jou those maidenhair ferns and oxalis specimens in the morning, M'ss Price : and if there 18 anything else about tbe place you fancy, I beg you to consider my grouuds as entirely at yonr disposal. "How have you couqnered him?" said Araminta, in Amazement "Ho is an old bachelor," said Pt ty, laughing, "but he isn't so very dreadful, after all P And when the quince-blossoms were all gone and the tali tiger Ills ies were in bloom, Albert Maverick asked little Patty Price to give up her city classes and stay at Maver. ick Hall altogether. And there are no more broken bottles on the gar den wall, for Mis. Maverick lets the children have all tbe flowers they waut. Tlie Work off lie Stale Con venliou. Tbe Democrats can accept the results of tbe Democratic State convention, which met at Raleigh Wednesday, with a considerable degree cf satisfaction. In a normal condition of politics Mr. Elias Carr would probably never have been nominated for governor ot North Carolina, but bis record as a Dems ocrat is unimpeachable and he is regarded by all who know him aa a most estimable gentleman. He is a graduate of the University of the State aud a real farmer. Democrats can breath a sigh of relief in tbe escape made from the St. Louis platform. Tbe platform adopted is not one that all can en dorse in full, but it is one that Dem 03rats can stand upon without vio lating their consciences. It is, in deed, the platform of 1890, with a few verbal alternations. It contains nothing that is in conflict with the underlying principles of the Demo cratic party. The questions it touches are only questions of policy, One may agree with all the doctrines alvanced or agree witb none, and yat be a good Democrat ; but what ever may be one's individual opin ions, it is now the duty of Demos crats to accept this platform and abide by it in good faith. The convention was an immense gathering and RaleUh was not equal to its proper emertainmeDt. The local arrangements were poor and the delegates suffered diecoms fort and the convention was delay, ed in the transaction of business on account thereof. The nominating speeches, taken as a whole, were probably the poorest ever heard in the State, but tbe body was more than ordinarily orderly and made jup in good manners what it lacked in other directions. The nomma'ion of Mr. Carr was a distinct victory over the extreme element represented by Polk and Butler. Mr. SiUiderlin, though himself by no raans an extreme jman in his views, was handicapped iby his backing. Many of the Alli ance delegates would not vote for him at all. Mr. Carr owes bis nom ination finally to conservative Alli ancemen who are Democrats and to the supporters of Gor. Holt, who, seeing on the sixth ballot that hi chances were gone, swung aronnd to lhe geutleman from Edgecombe. The hope which was entertained by many at tbe outset that the friends of Julian S. Carr would go to Holt, it vice versa, was soon found to be delusive. The rivalry between these E;entlemen and tbtir friends bad be come high. Between tbem they haJ i substantial majority of tbe convert tiou but they never would have ? malgaraated. The result may t e test as it is. Tbe nomination of L;ia8 Uarr breaks the backbone of the Third party movement in North Carolina and dashes the hopes of (be Republicans, That be and tbe ticket which he heads will be elect, ed by an overwhelming majority,no body denies, and with it the national Democratic ticket will sweep the State, whoever may be on it and whatever the character of the oppo1 sit ion. The surprise of the convention is the defeat of Mr. Sanderlin for re nomination as Auditor. In reach ing out for a higher office be Iotthe one he already bad a firm grip up on. To a majority of the Observer's readers the best news of all will be that of the nomination of Mr, Frank I. Osborne for Attorney General,and of the whole lot none of the nomin. ations was better disposed. Char lotte Observer. How Itl.ookcU tin Iay Before Taleigh Spi "ial. 17tb, -'to Charlotte Observer. The Srate conference of Alliance men began this morning and still continue. Eighty-six counties are represented by delegates. It is a secret meeting, only those having the password being admitted. Ma rion Butler prep'ded, S. Barnes being secretary, these taking their positions as officers of tbe Alliance. L. L. Polk was present, and made an address full of glittering gener alities, in which he urged Alliance men to stand up for the St. Louis platform. His speech was applaud ed. He was tbe only person save delegates allowed to speak. There were over 2C Alliancemen present an listeners. There was a discussion lasting many hours on tbe St. Louis plat form. Polk was sent for and said that Alliancemen bad no business in the Democratic convention and should stay away from it. Butler advised them to go into the convention. A resolution was adopted by a vote of G3 to 23 to pre sent the St. Louis platform to the convention. There was a heated debate and the Democrats who are o:ember8 of the conference took strong ground against the resolution and against any Third parjy action Lt.ughinghouse, who is a straight out Democrat, led this attack on Rctler'8 and Polk's forces and hi remarks were severe. He was join ed in his attack by delegates from New Hanover, Clay, buncombe and H;ywood counties. The resolutions as adopted contain no threats, bat. j rer.d between the lines, will show that tbe conference means if the St. Lruis platform is not adopted by th j Democratic convention, to put; out n i-.CKet oi u own. ,v ucw" fr:m Catawba county, who declared tb .t he represented three-fourths of tb -5 Alliancemen there, declared it tfa St. Louis platform wa8 not adopted, action woald 'je taken by j his people. Polk evidently has im- ruHise influeuce. The most earnest etlorts are being made to keep the seions secret, but there are leaks.! There are nearly 2000 Democrats here to attend the convention and for these tbe new;i which filters oat J from the conference has bad tbe most extreme interest. It is certain that the Democratic convention will be tbe largest one ou record. Tbe delegates aie tborongbly in earnest and are deeply stirred. Hon. Thos. J. Jarvia will probably be perma nent cbairmau of tbe convention. At the treat caucus of the friends ot Gov. Holt, M. 11. Pinnix presid ed. Stirring speeches, in which the Tbird party was denouueed, were made by W. M. Robbing, W, W. KitcheD, Cyrus B. Watson, and U. C. Jones. They ffere applauded to tbe echo. The caucus was not se cref, thus putting it in strong con trast to Butler's star chamber con, ference. The roll of counties show-' ed tl at. 79 weie represented and declarations of those present justify tbe belief that Holt will receive the nomination oa the first ballot.
