TJE MUNICIPAL JJOMIMTIKO CO VESTipS.
Our columns contain a call for a con
vention of ' the p5tfple' of Charlotte !at
thejcQgrtJiQite&
purpose of nominating a candidaljefor
mavor. A word with all cbacertieclion.
this subject : This mustr be st perfectly"
free, fair and open convention or the
time spent in registering its edict Will
le lost. Good party people feel them
selves called upon to abide the Action
of their party conventions whether they
like the men they put forth or pot; but
as we understand it this is not a politi
cal convention, and hence its defcisifm
will have none of the foiqe oi a part
mandate. In this iaie Ieryl44g iif"
pends upon the prdceed'gs fMMjhg jm
the square. There are rjoany edpe
who despise this rajffis h&to iruefaitje
municipal canvass has gotten, and who
have well-grounded fears that if the
field is filled with candidates the honors
may drop into unworthy hands, f This
class and it is a very numerous class
will gladly support the actiol of this
convention to-niotrowighi ifi tfiafc ac
tion Ls dictated by prudence, Tairness
and wisdom. But if any clique or fac
tion, or the friends of any particular
gentleman, go into that convention with
the discovered purpose of capturing it,
and do capture it,; they, will, after all,
-have their laborfor their-painsantie
feat for their reward. If any -one -supposes
that in this instance a nomination
thus procured, will be considered as
bearing any seal of. authority, why that
person will findhimself mistaken That
13 all. There are times when a conven
tion may be packed and the people still
obey its edict, but this is not one of those
times. This is not a political contest,
and whether or not the nomination that
is made to-morrow night will carry any
inflnerfce witfi it,tfepends altogether up
on the manner in which it is made. The
people may consent to be trifled with
when, by submitting, they may, accom
plish a party end ; but in this case, there
is no political purpose to be subserved
and thy wfll book no'foolishness.
It -will be just as well if the things
here said are remembered, through the
next two days at least ,
A Political Reminiscknce. In
John Russell Young's historic inter
terview with General Grant at Paris,
printed, not quite f year ago, he genet
a
il is reported Jaa havine referred
to
the third terra? proposition, as it
was
presented in 1876, as. follows:
Then came all the discussion about
the .third term. gave my views on
that in my letters to Senator "White, Of
Pennsylvania. It is not known; how
ever, how strongly I was pressed to en
ter tne canvass as a candidate. I was
waited upon formally by a distinguish
ed . man, representing the influences
thatvould !ha(Ye controlled the Repub
licans in the South, and asked td allow
my name to be used. This request wis
..supported by m,en in' the Northern
States whose position and character
are unquestioned. I said then that un
,der no circumstances would ?P become
a candidate. ' " . .
The Washington Republican says it
-iajiQ breach of xoDfidencelo Mate mxw.

jpireu, 3aj ,was vuage: .'Xaomas-settie,

In reference to the Southern claims

character. I have seen a " trled-everything " dys
peptic ot fifteen years relieved by one dose.

It ls endorsed by the direct personal testimony
of men of j&aftanal .fame and of strictness of
speech. It is not teo-mucnto say that no medicine
ever had such support in Jts favor as a specific.
The word of any one of the eminent divines who
underwrite this antidote to dyspepsia has deserved
weight Their united witness joined wlththeVex
perlmental use and approval of the preparation by
well-known physicians, removes all doubt. It is.
beyond question, a wonderful therapeutical agent.
