Not long ago J. P: Morgan -broke his well known habit of taciturnity to ex press hireeelf on the subject of poker, a game which he emphatically condemned as "un-American." Recent despatches : from Chicago announce that Gates likes poker, and, with his son, frequently in rfnifrps in it. but then the Chicago Re- . . .. i. . v..

North Carolina is hereby endorsed, and, ' 'we, the republicans of the state in con, vention assembled, do earnestly y "re- ' for this high office. 'Resolved further, that it is the sense of this convention that, no nominations for associate justices be made at this time but that the executive committee hereafter is: empowered to take such ac '' tion In relation to the same as shall sseem best.'; -Col. Y. Lusk made & powerful, brilliant and witty speech in support Of a non-partisaiiu judiciary and- in favor of a co-operation with the independents throughout the state, who are fighting the democratic machiue. He spoke for ' a pure judiciary and a pure ballot box. He favored endorsing Hill. Ex-Lieu-tenant Governor Reynolds also fa vored Hill'sendorsemient. Congress- ; man -Blackburn expressed a desire for diciary ticket. The " vote , resulted aJ-: most unanimously for the resolutions in troduced by 'Mr. Moody.' . The "convention assembled again at B : 30. p . ; m . " "and elected " Capt .

In the contests of .delegations .from two or three: easterre countiesi, the, decision was in ; favor' of j the white delegates. The convention then adjourned to 8 ip. m. , , CAPli' PRICE'S SPEECH At the evening session Oaptafln" Price addressed the : convention in part as follows:"'-'-" f : 'V 'In so far 'as the personnel of the con vention is comaerned,"If have seen as sembled in : North Carolina no such body of men as I see before' me now. see before .me men of the greatest eminence in our state- in 'ttieprofessions,' dis tinguished and successful business men, Working men; all of these convened in harmoniious atftion looking in- one direc tion; tiie .achievement, of the success of republicanism in our state'." I have not, my friends, taken -a -very active part in politics for the last - few years, but I have been very much interested in the last twelve months ' at the outlook in North Carolina.lt looks tome that now the time - has come When we , can dis cuss questional ; from an economic standpoint, and 'whenever republican W rises for , the purpose " -"of discussing these tiuestions he Is not to tba met py ridicule and denunciation, .but he ;te rtp be, met by' arguments, -and , discussion. You rememfcer - when' St. Paul said : Ohru,wretched nieun that ,1-amt Whet shall deliver me from, the body, of this death?' Today," since the race issue- Is no" longer aur- tissue " inhis .country, or can be made so, .we feel that this -body of death, is removed from, us and we. can stand out' before" the people of North Carolina and discuss these ques- tirtns from an economic stiand point and.; cam have them decided in the proper manner.

THE PLATFORM The committee on resolutions, through Zeb Vance Walser, reported the fol- lowing platform which was adopted unanimously: - "The republicans of North Carolina, in convention) assembled at Greensboro, on the 28th of August, 1902, adopted the following as a declaraltibn of principles upon which they ask the support of the people of the state: t "We deplore and deeply mourn the death "of President McKinleyr His unnscian cnaracier, TioDie impulses ana patriotic spirit have done more to strengthen republican Institutions than any other agency which has 'been em-' . , , , , ployed in modern times and his , life and . work will prove a tower of strength to the Christian ?religion: arid to official integrity and fidelity for all time to come. "While we deeply mourn the--loss of our' belovted president, at the same time we appreciate the fact that in President jRoosevelt we have a pres'ldent whose hnmiictir rtif ruimAon, on1 t-o T-vi rf icrv o r a. the American people are in safe keep ing and his faith in the principles of republicanism is such- as tor guarantee a faithful adherenice to those things that have madev for th)i republic the splendid reputation which it now has as a world power. "We naorse the national platform of the republican party, adopted at Phil adelphia, and point with pride to the unexampled prosperity which a repub licaro administration has brought to the country at large.. ? "Fifth. Intelligence being the corner stone of the education1 of the masses, . and their education being, dependent solely upon our public schools, we favor support, by public taxation, of at least, a four months school in every school district in the state, and we condemn the democratic party 'for its failure' to 'pro vide proper educational facilities for the l education of the -poor children -of the ' state during ilts lease of power from 1870 to 1895. . "Sixth. We favor generous public aid to all charitable institutions of the state, and the enactment of . such . jpen .ion laws" as ' will give the ex-Confederate soldiers .a! more generous ' and equitable distribution of ; this fund . than, is provided" for by the present' pension laws. - y , 'ISieyenth. -We favor such state legisla tion as will encourage the investment of capital, ..both foreign and domestic . and we respectfully invite- capitalists from aibroad to come among ,usi and assist in th'e1 development of .our; wonderful ire sources. - . .. "Eighth, We invite the . attention of the people . of the state-to the clean, able and economic administration- of our state govenntaent by, the republican and populist parties from 1897 to 1901, and challenge a comparison of it with the presemtreckless management of,.ouraf-J" fairs by the democratic party r - "Ninth." We arraign the leaders of the democratic party -. a& , false , to every pledge made im the last campaign j - Tenth. They promised to reduce, "ex penses, and, instead of -doing so,- they have increased -expenditures lsa. almost every department of the state govern ment, V - ' ' Elevieinth, They promised to curtail, rather than Jncrease,' the number of offices, and instead of doinjg" so they have increased the number of judges and. feo HrtUwH from' .12 to 16. and have '-made 4 othteir increases . by providing for the employment ot clerical help that - has not heretofore - been" deemed - neeess-ary under similar circumstances. v. 'Twelfth. They promised to reduce salaries,, tout instead ct doing- so,' they have increased .:the 'govearnor's- salary during his term of office, in violation of the constitution and have provided many ways by which the people arerito-f day taxed far in excess of any they have haretof ore had to pay ' ' ' ' v "Thirteenth. They promised to reduce taxation, and, instead" of doing so, they have legislated : so that our taxes have increased within three years in the sum of $880,419.97. "Fourteenth. They,; promised to ; re duce expenditures, and, instead ofdo ing so, in three years ' they have,, in- creased expenditures in the sum of $1, 088,545.. ... , ) ' . "Fifteenth . They promised , oy afflda vit and in .other ways that aio white Jnan j would- be, disfranchised under the j amendment to pur constitution, but; in - respect to this matter, the democratic state chairman is now forced to admit that 18,000 white men will ' be denied the right to vote at ' the; .approaching election. "Sixteenth. We-' condemn them for their, unwarranted effort to impeach tw of our Supreme court justices for ' purely partisan purposes, and because of their action in following the prece- dent established by the Supreme court of this state in a long line of decisions covering a period of more than sixty years. "Seventeenth. We further condemn them for ts enactment of legislation ap propriating the money of the people for the purpose of defraying the ex penses of persons indicted for the vior lation of laws- which they had sworn to obey and for granting amnesty, to such persons from prosecution in the state courts. " j "Eighteenth. We declare that when the constitutonalr amendment was adopted by the people of North Caro lina, two years agd, tit passed out of the .realm of politics, and that if Governor Aycock, Senator Simmons and others keep faith with the people in. the pledges thenmade, there can be no such thing as. a race issue in ithe present cam paign." The platform was cheered and the following resolution was unanimously adopted : The republicans of North Carolina, in convention assembled in the city of Greensboro, on the 28th day of August, 1902, resolve: First. That we recognize in Senator J. C. Pritchard one of the ablest sena tors from the south, and point .with pride to his great career in the senate; : that he is -Ijhe unanimous choice of the republican party for United States sen ator and that we call upon, alf the peo ple of the tate, irrespective of party, to aid us in returning him to that post where he can so ably serve his people. .Second.
