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.

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.

It regards Blaine aa out of the race, and says the one man whom the Republicans can unite upon with the greatest chance of success is Gresham. It pictures the sources of his availabili ty in glowing colors. In tnis con nection it may be noted that Gen Hinkenloper, of Cincinnati, who has heretofore been one of Senator Sher man's supporters, has come out pub licly for Gresham on the ground that he is the most available man the Re publicans can nominate.

While this estimable gentleman and learned Judge is absent in the moun tains of North Carolina quietly hold ing his courts, dispensing justice with aa able and even hand, his friends and admirers here, wbo re cognize his pre-eminent qualifications and peculiar fitness for the position of Justice of the Supreme Court will, unbidden and unsolicited by him, present his name to the convention for nomination to that high office v ithout disparagement of the vir tues of any other gentleman, we can truly say of Judge MacRae, that, as 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, Tae Uae SUatalaaU Between Steals. 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.

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.

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 two doubtful counties. , 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 Senator Ransom leaves tonight for Oak Ridge, where he delivers the commencement address tomorrow. Minister Jarvis will return to North Carolina in July. J. Martin Holt, of Uak Bulge, it. Percy Gray, Cape Fear A Yadkin Val ley Railroad and Col. Fred Stith are at the Metropolitan.

Cor. ot the News and Observer. . 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. Democrat. Chairman Of the State Committee. Cor. of the Mews and Observer. The announcement that Mr. Rich ard H. Battle, who has been such an 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. History repeals itself. Concerning hiB skill and foresight and prudence it is only necessary to recall the inci dent of "Hold Robeson and , save the State." B.

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. Bon. J. E. Shepherd for Jadaw r la- srtaa Coast. 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.
