Mr. Fyre resumed his argdra'iit,
against the fisheries treaty, dwinlling'
at some length on the headland the

more than a theory, hit had jiaavor
been reduced to practice, except in
two cases when it was over-rulta and
it would have remained settled

be retracted; that in the long future
we shall never be permitted to

whn we claimed, here in this Senate,
that the rights of American fisher
men would be defended agrjinst

said(tnroucrh the President of the
United States) in solumn langtiage
thai the treaty- is just and fair and
all that could pe demanded by ns
and hereafter and forever our njoruths
are closed. Again I declare that
this treaty is a dishonorable, hcrnilia
tinff and cowardly surrender. ) ,
At the close of Mr. Frye s speech,
at 5 o'clock, Mr. Gray obtained- the

Reports from Iowa and Kansas say
the fall of hail was terrific, and the
rain descended in torrents. The hailstones-were
piled up and drifted in
many 'places from two to four! feet
deep in the morning, and larg sec
tions iOf the country were covered
with a sheet of ice. The damage to
gardens, fruit trees and vegetation is
incalculable. Windows were broken,

FOR OOVEBROa
CAPT. S. B. ALEXAXDKB, OT UECSXXSSCBO.
Cor. ot the News and Observer.
Please allow me just a few lines in
regard to the gubernatorial nomina
tion.. i.t is a fact beyond dispute that
the great body of the Democratic
party is composed of citizens en
gaged in the occupation of cultivating
the soili It is also a fact that there
is a considerable number of people
who make their living by farming,
who are too ignorant to know the im
portance or who do not take enough
interest in politics to go to the polls
and vote. If the Republican party
can induce this floating or uncon
cerned population to vote their
ticket, or if they can prevail upon a
considerable number of those who
usually vote the Democratic ticket
not to vote this year, there is great
danger of defeat for us. It is evi
dently our duty, disregarding aU per
sonal preferences, to nominate the
most available, ' capable man, ' who
can bring and hold that vote to
the Democratic party. Your ; cor
respondent thinks and almost knows
that in our present situation, Capt
Alexander is the man to do it. We
must not be beaten by Dockery, who,
I learn, is a farmer. And is not there
danger of our losing strength amongst
the agricultural classes in parts pf
the Si ate where the local government
would not be overwhelmed by negro
magistrates1 I have no prejudice
against lawyers as a class (excepting
those who generally lead the Radical
party in its rascally demagoguery'
and would not uphold anything tend
ing to array one class of white people
against another, but really believe it
is only fair and reasonable that the
agricultural interest should be repre
sented now by placing one of its most
distinguished representatives at tbe
head of the State ticket. There woul
not be a shadow of a doubt of the
party's success and, I think, by a
larger majority than was ever polled
in Worth Carolina. There are a thou
sand citizens in the State capable and
and worthy to be Governor, if disin
terested work in. behalf of the party
and good government ih any test, but
very few of them can ever be honored
by serving the people in the highest
position in their gift. Iu choosing
its candidate to lead the ticket the
Earty must look to his availability, as
eing of the greatest importance in
tbe great contest to take place this
year, which your correspondent earn
estly prays will end in the utter and
everlasting destruction of the most
infamous political party that ever dis
graced a civilized people.

By . eiegrapi to the News and Observer. '
Pitt8B0bo, Pa., May 29. The
storm which swept over eastern Ohio,
West Virginia and western Pennsyl
vania yesterday afternoon was of a
very dt-structive character. The aggre-"
gate lass to buildings, crops, and rail
road, anl telegraph lines will foot up
may thousands of dollars. Several
lives were also sacrificed and a num
ber of persons were injured. About
Point Pleasant and Huntington, West
Virginia, at Canton, Ohio, Beaver

Miss Mabel Upchurch, aa "Phyl
lis," the leading lady's part in the
charming opera of Iolanthe, was a
delightful surprise to the community.
We knew her of course as a beautiful,
modest and refined young lady, but
Were ignorant of the remarkable
musical and histrionic talents which
she displayed in the rendition of the
leading part in the play.
Her exceeding gracefulness and
naivete, her sweet simplicity of man
ners and unaffected modesty all com
bined to give additional effect to a
rich, full, true soprano voice, seldom
equalled and hardly ever excelled.
In her impersonation and singing
She exibited an appreciation of the
character she represented far beyond
that shown by most amateurs in their
representations. While much praise
is due 10 others of the participants in
the opera, it is not too much to Bay
that Miss Upchurch contributed more
than any other one to the eminent
success of the performance. That we
may often be permitted to boo and
hear her in similar performances is
the sincere wish of a delighted
Acmtob.

the one man whom the Republicans
can unite upon with the greatest
chance of success is Gresham. It

he is the most available man the Re

a learned, profound, conscientious
and impartial judge, be is second to
none. He has made an enviable re
cord while on the Superior Court
bench, aod he deserves promotion.
Of all whose names have been men
tioned in this connection, no one will
bring to the performance of his im
portant duties a mind better stored
with tbe legal lore or better equipped
to copo with the difficult questions
mo be met, a bigger braiu, or a purer
heart thau James C. MacRae. When
at the bar he stood at the head of his
profession. A man of wonderful
powers of oratory, with a deeped,
thorough knowledge of the law, a
close reas6nc.r, he was a most suc
cessful practitioner. When elevated
to the Supreme Court, his opinions
will be ornate, uminous, concise and
to the point- They will be satisfac
tory to the profession and will reflect
credit upon the State. In short, he
will add much Btreugth to a court al
'ready overburdened with' accumu
lated business. He will go on the
bench un trammeled with any pledges
or combinations, under no obligations
to any' man or set of men, i but pre
pared to execute the high office with
ability and integrity. Justice,

Although all persons who indulge
in alcholio stimulants well within the
margin of actual drunkenness speak
of themselves as "moderate drinkers,
there are two epeoiaj classes of them
which bear no resemblance' to each
other, except in the one solitary cir
cumstance tnat Uiey never at any
time take sufficient to intoxicate them
selves. The one class is that which
only partakes of stimulants while eat-
ing;the other indulges m them between
meal-times. To the latter ; habit is
applied in this country the title of
nipping, while in the Jast it is
spoken of as "pegging." And this is the
moBt pernicious of all forms of drink
ing, from tne tact tnat stimulants
taken without at the same time par
taking of food, though only imbibed
in small quantities at a time, have
most deleterious effects on the inter
nal organs. A man who habitually
indulges in a single glass of sherry in
the forenoon, a brandy-and-soda in
the afternoon, and a glass, of whisky
and-water in the course of the even
ing, does far more injury to his con
stitution than one who partakes of a
larger quantity of alcholio stimulants
at meal-times. 'rom "2'he JiffecU of

Washington, D. C, May 28.
Writing just one week before the
assembling of the national! Demo
cratic convention, it is easy i to see
that the ticket will be Cleveland and
Thurman.
Both nominations will be made by
acclamation. It is the Presidents
wish that Mr. Thurman should accept
the vice presidential nomination, and
the statement is made authoritatively
today that "the noblest Roman of
them all" will heed his party's and
his ; country's calL This simplifies
the situation. The doubtful State
of - Indiana had named Gray,
but it was a doubtful compliment.
The party in that State did not, at
heart, want hun,and it is almost certain
that a fireside assassination awaited
him at St. Louis. Morrison, of Illi
nois, - has made an ugly," personal,
petty fight against Black, and has
but red up bad blood between Black s
friends aod Gray's friends. Black is
far in the lead of all the aspirants. It
will be well worth the trip to St.
Louis to hear the acclamations and
witness the enthusiasm that Thur-
man's name will excite when he is put
in nomination for the Vice-Presi
dency.
Blaine and
nominated at
managers have,
Depew will be
Chicago. Blaine's
long ago captured
the convention, and it is worthy of
note that almost every : leading Re
publican politician in the country is a
Blaine man. ! ' .
Sherman will go into the coaven
tion with an easily demoralized, South
ern vote, which will be only too eager
to vote and shout for Blaine. The
opposition to Blaine in the Northern
States has no head or organisation.
It will be child's play to nominate
him. Brilliant, audacious unscrupu
lous, he is the one typical living Re
publican to lead the Republican party
to its inevitable destrucuon.
A telegram was received here last
night saying that John L- Henderson
would be renominated for Congress
by acclamation.
The gallant McClammy haS been
overwhelmed with congratulations.
lie says he expects to carry every
county in the d strict and to elect
Democrats to the Legislature in tbe

The "dark horse" betting among
North Carolmins here is ten to one on
John A- Gilmer for Governor The
convention will hopeless! t divide on
Alexander, Fowle and Stedinauj. Gil
mer was a favorite when scales was
nominated four years ago.' His avail
ability . cannot be queetiom dJ His
great popularity is everywhere con
ceded, and it would delight the heart
of every man and boy who "woie the
gray" to vote for the brave and gal
lant sold er nd comrade of John A.
Gilmer. It is the opinion of both
visiting and resident Carolinians that
the convention tomorrow will do the
Democratic "party and the State a
great service in nominating Qltmer
and Alexander.
It is generally believed here that
the fifth district will send Scales back
to Congress. He will easily take his
old place among the leading men in
Congress. j

There is no more patriotic Demo
crat in North Carolina than Julian H.
Carr. There is no man who ever re
sponds more cheerfully "t-o the calls
of his party than Mr. G.r : nor is
there any man among us who does
more effective service for the party.
Mr. Carr never asks for office. He is
not a place hunter. His friends will
present his name for election as a
delegate from the State-at-largw to
the national convention, lie is an
original Cleveland man. It would be
a graceful thing for the Democratic
convention to elect him by acclama
tion, and it would be showing that
his oast and present services for the
party ' and State find appreciation
among his fellow-Democrats.

The announcement that Mr. Rich

efficient and excellent chairman, has
resigned, renders it necessary to se
lect a successor. No better man can
be found for the place than Gen. Wu-
liam R. Cox. To a very marked de
gree he possesses the Confidence of
the people, and under his manage
ment we will have a victory as grand
and sweeping as that of 1876 when he
was chairman.

Perhaps the most important. oCi.o
to be filled at the coming election, is
that of ihe three Associate Justices ...
of the Supreme Cotirt, for th.S court
of last resort has in its keeping the
life, liberty and property of the citi
zen.
A numler of excellent gentleman
nave been mentioned for nomination
by the Democratic State convention
which convenes today. It behoovos
us to take a calm survey of the field -
and select only thoe, who are in ev
ery way best fitted to porform, the
duties of the high office. We must
have learned, impartial, pure and
true men, whose training, experience
and natural gifts wil' enable them to 4
fill the office with credit to themselves
and satisfaction to the State, whose
opinions may be cited, as of yore
even in "Westminister Hall." The 4
locality from which any aspirant - i
hails should have the least influ
ence upon our selection. No
man should be nominated
because he hails from the East, or
from the Center, or from the Wis .
In the good old times all of the
Supreme (Jourt Judges were for a
while residents of HillsborO, and f - r
many years two of them, Judges
Kuffin and Nash, our bnghtest lumi
naries, lived in the shades 01 tnat
classic towu. Nor BhoUld any ono
be ignored by the convention becau.e
he has not so far forgotten the dig
nity of theoffioe, or his own , self -rn- .
spect as to 'descend into, the d rty
political whirlpool, and make a per
sonal canvass for the place, forming .
combinations, loading down the mails '
with appeals for help and urging bis
claims by personal solicitations with
friend and acquaintance. The office
should seek the man and not the man
the office, and the lawyer of modest -merit
and intrinsic worth will disdain
to strip eff, as the prize fighters, and
enter the competitive ring. -
He who, unmindful of these rules
of propriety and common decency,
adopts a different course, exhibits the , .
best evidence of his mental and moral
unfitness to wear the judicial ermine ' .
and will receive a stern rebuke at the :
hands of a Democratic convention.
The convention is enjoined to mk
haste slowly in this matter. Let it
discard every consideration except the
purpose to place in office those who
will most ably and - emoiently Bene
the State and reflect credit upon her
at home and abroad. With the name
of such men inscribed on our banner
we will march to certain victory, but "
we cannot afford to nominate any but
our best. fc . "Dbcenct.

Oor. ot the News ard Observer.
In yesterday's News and Obsisveh
appeared a communication .calculated
to some extent to preiudice Judge
Shepherd. From some of the dele
gates who are already upon the
ground I find that Judge Sneph rJ
is indorsed by the large counties""
of the first district and lie has a de
cided majority in that district It is
further stated that the counties appa- .
rently in favor of another aspirant
I will go for Judge Shepherd if there is
a prospect of his election. The emi-
nent qualifications of the Judge fit
him peculiarly for the Supreme bench;
and it is sincerely noped tnat ne win
be nominated upon the first ballot.
The centre and west are strongly in
favor of the Judge, and if his friends
in the east will only be patient, in my
judgment there will be no doubt of -his
nomination, .A.
