"My i son, Allen Wl, has received

"That is, hardly probable," face
tiously remarked the Judge, "ail the

: A gentleman from St- Louis re
marked ; "I hare jast come from the

terjected the Judge. "My wife-had
Serious objectiens, -and I objected,

pressed himself as satisfied with the
platform; but refused to disenss it jor
any plans of the coming campaign.
The Judge was in the best of spirits

The Thurman bandannsj the hand

tensively in the coming ! campaign,
has its own romance. In J.82A, when
Thurman was eleven years; old, there
arrived in Chillicothe an erratic but
accomplished French emigrant, Emil
Gregorie; who subsequently became
known as the "Professor.!' He had
been intended for the Catholic priest
hood, but while in his studies for
holy orders he fell desperately" in
love With, a young girl below him in
social standing. Against the en
treaties of his friends, he abandoned
all thoughts of the priesthood and
finally married the girl. ! He had
means, and under the advic4 of Amer
ican agents in Paris he concluded to
invest in West Virginia lands. Like
the - ill-fated ' Blcnnerhassett, ' who
bought an interest in the Ohio River,
he thought to establish an Oriental
paradise in the West. Hia ybuvg wife
?tve birth td a daughter nd died,
aking the child,- the grief-stricken
father named it Virginie, and
came with it to found i a. home
in the new world. When he found his
lands were an unbroken wilderness, his.
disappointment knew no bounds- He
wandered about the savage border
lands of the West until he reached
Chilliootbe, where be found emplh

took care of the child in exchange for
French lessons for her son. The
grateful Parisian gave young Thur
man most assiduous attention, but
among other accompliahmenis taught
him the habit at taking enaf ana we
French use of "the handkerchief."
At first Thurman could apeak no
French 'and Virginia no ; boglish.
But they soon acquired a vocabulary
of common phrases, and became con
stant companions and firm friends
Thnrman's first errief came: when M.
Gregorie received a favorable offer jo
fo to Louifiana, then a province of
nain. Much to the regret of both
the young people, ne aooeptea tne w
Titotionland left ChUlicoty for "the
Spanish territory."1 For a while
Thurman was disconsolate, and even

The convention fully demonstrated
that before another is held one more
section should be added to the plan
of organization. Fractional votes
should not be allowed in dividing the
strength bf a county between differ
ent candidates. This could be easily
remedied by giving the whole vote to
the candidate whose fraction is more
than a half . Half the time in the bal

Tke Praaa lata Ticket.
Statesville Landmark : The ticker ?
Head and tail it is exactly all right,
and it is pretty much ao. throughout
the middle. The thing is how to clear
the decks for action. The battle is
on. "Let him that hath no nerve for
the fight depart."
Charlotte Democrat : We are much
gratified at the nomjsation of Col.
1 nomas IL Holt for L eutnant-Gov-ernor,
though we regret that Capt
Alexander did not accept the position,
for it would have made him Governor
four years hence without Democratic
competition. Col. Holt is a good
man in every respect, the practical
friend of the farmer, the manufactu
rer, the laborer, the mechanic and the
professional man. He is himself' a :
farmer and manufacturer (as waa his I
respected father), and employs large
numbers of laborers and mechanics.
His son is a number-one mechanic,
ahd superintends the practical opera
tions in a large cotton mill. The peo
ple of North Carolina, in electing Col.
Holt, twill benefit themselves.
Judge Fowle, the Democratic nom-,
inee ft Governor, has always been a
conservative Democrat, and could not
be influenced by fanatical, excitable
aud unreliable members of either par
ty in the State. He is calm and de
liberate and firm in the determination
to do what he may think right and for
the good of the people
Eernersville News and Farm : From
beginning to end the ticket is the
siroDgest that . could possioly have
been made. ;
Reidsville Democrat 1 Our State
Convention has done its work well.'
Raleigh Chronicle : The ticket nom
nated and the platform of principles
adopted ought to satisfy and bring to
a cordial support and endorsement
every Democrat in North Carolina.
Monroe Enquirer and Express -.
While we did not get our choice for
Governor, the remainder Of the ticket
pleases us in every respect, and we
expect to do all in pur power to se
cure the triumphant election of every
name on it.
Carthage Blade: The Democratic
ticket is made up of preacher b, law
jets, farmers, manufacturers, editors,
hiatorians and school teachers. Who
oan say that any particular class of
individuals ran the convention. It is
considered the strongest ticket that
has been nominated for years. The
Republicans will not eome in tlrs
year. I hey had as well make up their
minds to wait !
Salisbury Watchman : The ticket is
good one, and better, still, ever?
man on it is politically sound; and as
leaders of the people they represeo',
will advocate and defend the just
principles of the Democratic party as
heretofore held and voted for by the
people; . j ,
Newton Enterprise: We have for
our candidate for Governor a man but-
nut cowry our uuu uiav otd j uwa
and corner of Jthe ' State, and who by
his popular manner and pure charac
ter will bring out a mil vote in .November.
Marion Bugle: The wisdom of the
nomination will be potent to the most
casual observer Tr November. We
venture the prediction that ! Daniel
will get as near the hearts of North
Carolinians as Zeb ever did, and re
ceive the largest majority that any
Democrat ever received for Governor.
Shelby Aurora: It is a splendid
ticket that will be elected by . a good
majority next November. j .
Lsaksville Gazette: If the ! Demo
onts of the State do not win an over
whelming triumph . next fall it will
not be because the convention did not
do its work well.
Windsor Ledger: The, nomination
of Judge Daniel G, Fowle. for the
gubernatorial 4 offie at Raleigh, last
week is a compliment worthily be
B;owed. Judge Fowle 'is a msgnifir
cent specimen of the Democracy of
our State and of whose fidelity to the
party there is no qs.es ion. Judge
Fowle will make one of the most able,
pure, conscientious and upright Gov
ernors the Old North State has vor
had the fortune to elect, and with the
brilliant canvass he is sure to make
there will no doubt be many who
will be influenced to turn from the
old sinking hulk of Radicalism and
seek safety in the Democratic ark of
refuge, being fully persuaded that
Republicanism can no longer avail
them.
Hickory Press & Carolinian: It is
well known that we went to Raleigh
in favor of Stedman and Alexander,
and we returned in favor of Fowle
and Holt. Not that our, opinions
were changed but a majority of the
delegated Democracy said Fowle was
the man and we yield to that majori

remained clear. He was resting
quietly with little or no pain and for
the time being his condition was
slightly improved. The organic dis
eases from which he has suffered,
however, remain unyielding. He was
more or less delirious all through the
night; not violently, howeves fo he
was too weak for that, but he could
not recognize the; members of his
family or bis physicians and refused
to take any medicine or nourishment.
About 5 o'olock this morning his
mind cleared and ' he readily took
milk. His medicine was given hypo-
dermically. Each bf the several at
tacks which he has had lately has left
him much weaker than the previous
one. His rallies have ben bat par
tial and unsatisfactory and altogether
the case is a most desperate one.
From the information received from
high sources it is believed that the
end is not far off.

This institution, conducted ky Prof.
W. H. Neave at Salisbury, N. C , has
just closed its prerent session, the
closing exercises consisting of two
concerts, one of which was given last
night and one of which will occur on
next Friday night. These concerts
are similar to those delightful toirees
which Prof. Neave has been giving at
intervals in the past, though more
finished and elaborate, if possible, j
The programme, of which we have
a copy, is prefaced by an introductory
from Prof. Neave's pen, which we
think more than worth the space and
which we reproduce. The truths con
tained therein are vivid and incisive
as clear-cut cameo :
