By WII.I.IABI II. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Tuesday Eventnq, July 8, 1884. EVENING EDITION. THE HICKORY PRESS AND THEl STAR. I ' The Hickory Press devotes a por- tion of its valuable space to this paper.; As we had determined to waive the . discussion of any objectionable fea tures of the State platform we do ' not care at this time to be drawn - into a war of words over the Blair .Educational bill. We do not sup-j pose that our contemporary has read toe very lull editorial aiscussion in the Stab in opposition to what we - conceive to be. a most objectionable most dangerous, most ,'unconstitu . tional bill. We discussed it months since with no little elaboration and especially considered the uncohstiiu zionqi leatures. we Deiieve we showed conclusively to any fair and candid and reflecting mind that the bill was In violation of the ; sacred: instrument and was fraught with'eviL The State Convention in its plank' .agrees to take "to accept such a Idistribntion of said surplus revenues of the Government for educational .purposes." That was precisely why ' 'we ; condemned it. The moneys1 taken ffom the people were not taken J for any such purpose. It is the theory of the Democratic party that taxation is only allowable for the actual support of the Governmentr to keep its machinery in motion. To) raise 90 or 100 millions of dollars for this end and then to pervert the vast; sum to another and a very danger- ous purpose is what no sound Dem ocrat ought to agree to. There is no more warrant in the Constitution to so pervert the moneys of the peo ple thanv there is warrant to give l every negro in the South ''forty acres and a male;'' than there is to go into , a general cattle- doctoring and dog; billing basinefs; than there is to give i every male voter a good house and a; farm; than there is -to - build school; houses" and" endow colleges; than: there is to pay" the individual in-' debtedness of all embarrassed men, ! or indeed to do any other kindly and' beneficent act that would surely and inevitably conduce to"the generalise!- fare." If the Congress can distribute- 90 or 100 millions of moneys raised for .other purposes entirely for the sup- .' posed curing of illiteracy; then sure-: . ly it can distribute an equal sum or ten limes more lor the curing of souls; that is lor the ; spread and preaching -of the . Gospel. . It is of far more importance that men should be saved than that they should be taught to read, write and cipher.' It is far more for the ' "general .wel fare" that men- should.be moralitnd ; religious than that they should be able to read the Police Gazette and dime.novels. But no one would think of asking Congress to appropriate one miiuon or a .thousand million to carry the Gospel to the waste DlaceaM Viuurwujliry an7 more than they .would think of asking for ar large ap propriation, to pay off the debts of the Southern people, - to omia ineir churches, school houses and colleges. or to give every.man a- farm-and & f " -- : " ' -" n I ' mnle The Congress nas precisely as much authority under the Cpnsti-Wie tution to do.allNof , these ?exceUent iinnro i it. has to take the lunas raised by taxation and, go1 into- the jthe greatestexcentyinef e Pedagogio business on a grand scale, j ported fall of.

We believe the, invitatioi and that it is a surrender " J T . . .J i of a great principle. - We have op posed the bill . upon constitutional and other grounds. We believe that it will debauch the public mind,make people lean on the General Govern ment for help, for support, for doing that which they should do for themt selves. It is & dangerous departure from sound doctrine ancTsafe action. It tends to centralization, is loaded; with 'dynamite, and ; plays - directly into the hands of the advocates of a " Strong Government.

The Press refers to Mr. Calhoun's course as if that ought to settle it; Mr. - Calhoun was; a very great man but he made - some big" mistakes! This was one of them, when he agreed to receive a surplus for South Carolina. Another blunder of his was his advocacy Tariff at one time!. of a Protective Another blunder was when he held the views not by any means of a pronounced State I rLiGriiis Kina. silt, vjainoun was pure, i and great but not one of the infallt-, blesl We believe he made a great blunder in 1836, in the matter refer red to by the Press, and we do not Ihink it wise to follow him. South Carolina shows its inconsistency in receiving a Federal "appropriation';, under a specious plea after twice threatening a dissolution of the Union because of State Rights. : ? We have met ten intelligent men) in the last fifteen months who op pose Paternal Pedagogy to one who was ready to, hurrah for "the flagM and an appropriation." We been encouraged by letters naye frojn lawyers and educated gentlemen in! different sections who have thanked us :f or 'defending the Constitution from the assaults- made upon it by. the advocates of "an appropriation.". Old fashioned Democrats " "haye; thanked us for ' upholding State Rights in this measure as in others. The Northern papers and Senators havertwit'ted again and again Soutli-i I erh members because of the readiness with which they have yielded'to the persuasives of a hundred millions to be dispensed from the Federal' Treasury. They have said that when1 the South is to receive a large bounty it has no principles. Southern mem-i bers have answered that when the war ended they got rid of - the ddc-f trine of State Rights.

Dismukesv':; -i.v ..-- .--r.i : The air is coal and bracing, and summef apparel do not burden the person. i- A crowd began to gather in the vicinity of tbe great hall, in which tbe Convention is to be held, early, in the day, the door tenders and ushers reporting for duty at 8 o'clock, with the people then in waiting to enter and secure their ; sets. Inside the auditorium, however, there was an ap proach to chaos, the laborers still being en gaged in giving the finishing touches, after havine been Employed during all of the preceding night, they did not desert the main platform, where the decorations were being hung, to within half an hour before the time announced for the opening of the Convention. - i , YVheu the workmen quitted the building the. picture presented- was majestic, and truly so, with its setting of 14,000 auditors.; Every seat iu the vast amphitheatre ap peared to be occupied, the audience having its full quota of the fair portion of human ity in holiday attire. 1 It is conceded in picturesque effect ar rangement and dressing the hall excels, that of the Convention of four weeks ago. The great vi&la of the old hall has been lost by the placing of the main stage at jonefside and midway, instead of at one end of the ball, but tne arrangement brings tne eatire audience close to tbe stage proper and del-' egatea. ; . Tbe decorations are not profuse, but striking and pleasing to - the eye, the-National colors nreilominatintr. Tbe onlv re tarding feature is tbe main platform, which, is uwanca in comparison 10 me magnin cent proportions of the hall. 'The dele gates are seated in a square immediately! fronting the Speaker s platform, on a dead level of the Convention hall. . Between the delegates and the platform are tbe quarters assigned to the Press, rep resentatives, who have been provided with tables in rising tiers, affording this working army the most complete, view imaginable of any incident likely to occur during the session. To the right and left of the delegates are seats for spectators, sloping upward easily to a point thirty feet from the floor level. - The only additional w6rd to be offered in tne way of description, is, that the light ing of? the : vast hall is complete, being flanked and crowned with great windows. which pour their flood of light upon every portion of the auditorium even with the dull leaden stage over-head. .- S : , At 11.30 o'clock the scarlet-coated band of the , First Illinois Regiment .took their position above the speaker's ' stand, and burst forth with .martial music, and which also proved the, signal for the arrival of the first of the delegates, , tbe Tennesseeans leading the van. From that moment : the crowd streamed in without ceasing until J .1 1 - .I.. y.j : uiu auur ui uwu, vucu uic uui uau iua full complement of people. . The breach in the ranks of the New York delegation, as indicated in these dis patches last night, is being used as a very effective weapon by the opponents of Cleveland; and there is now everything to indicate that the present temper of the Southern delegates is towards Bayard or McDonald, and to this end those who have been startled at the size and character of the Cleveland movement are now working. Indiana is being urged to stand by their favorite, and not to be tempted from their present ltne of action by the Vice Presiden tial offer. "i "' Speaker Carlisle arrived "from Washing-; ton this morning, and goes to swell the ac tive force of revenue reformers now on tbe ground: - , ' The Committee on Resolutions is gene rally regarded as having a majority for a; conservative piatiorm. it contains, . how- ever, the extremes of both views, and a number whose position has not been dear ly defined. In any action of the Commit- tee there will be majority and. minority re- , ports.and it is now believed that the subject will have to be fought out on the floor 'of ! the Convention. 1 : - - j " Another of the things which now appears ' certain to occur, is a fight in open Conven tion over the unit rule. Notwithstanding the claims made yesterday by the Tamma ny people, the Cleveland people declare, they are. ready, for this contest also, and! will defeat it bv' a handsome maioritv. 1 The approach of the hour for the assem-; bung ox the Convention was marred by the arrival of . the delegates in large bodies and the great crush of people at the door-ways, which provoked confusion. The arrival of the California delegation, carrying a banner at their head, occasioned the first outburst of applause in the body of the audience, on1 Ka .ViAn f..V Zeri.t. " - - - " The presence of - distinguished leaders among the delegates did not appear to be caught by the crowd, and there was no ap plause to mark their arrival. This hcldtf true until the' familiar figure Of Senator Thurman, of Ohio; was discovered, when a cheer arose which swelled in to a roar as the audience came to know the 'occasion of the applause ; ' ' While the excitement was at its. highest a California delegate named ; M.; T. Tompkins,: addressing, the ; Chairman who was not yet in : his place, said, "the Calif ornla delegation after travel ling 2.500 miles, catches its first" glnripje of : Paradise in the person of Allen' G." Thur man, ot Ohio.'-',: (Cheers). ? :' .- Among the United State? Senators pres ent, either as delegates, alternates or sun-' pie spectators, were r Hambton Vance. Beck,: Williams, McPhersdn, Gorman; Far- ley, voornees, Pendleton, Jones of Fla. t Ransom, Lamar, Jonas, Call and Harris. Soon afterward when the' band struck; up ''Dixie' there was another great shout, coming f rdm ; the Southern - delegations originally, ' and as the import of the ap- s plause was understood, iUwas taken up by I the audience. - - i j .. At 13.40 p.m. (Chicago .time); the Con-1 ventionwa8 called to order by ex-Sehator Rarnum, Chairman of the National Demo cratic Committee.- Prayer was offered by Rey. Dr. D. CL Marquis,. of? the Northwest Theological Seminary. He prayed for 'a blessing on this great assembly of reprt sentatlve citizens that they i should be-en- aoweoj pienurmiy with that wisdom.1 which is first , pure, then peaceful and gentle and easy. He entreated that nothing should be done' through strife or vain jealousy, but that thev should be filled with that charity which is not puffed up, and doth. -not be-. Have itself unseenly . Qile prayea tbat their deliberations would be guided to such con clusions as wouldi best promote IfieVglory of God and the welfare of the Nation 'j ' The Chairman Said : - "Gentlemen of the ; Convention harmony seems to be the senti ment of this Convention : even the air seems saturated with the desire and determination to'jiominate a ticket for President and Yice iPresidenk which viU be satisfactory to the North and lb the South, to the East audio tBrWestrmry;owalck Harmonize the JDemocracy througnout jne Union, and insure .victory, in November. Harmony prevailed in the deliberations of the National Committee. No effort was made to nominate, a temporary. Chairman in the interest of any 'Candidate but, oh thecontrary,' one who "Shall :j3Sidef over the deliberations of this Convention with absolute impartiality. In that spirit and tb that end, have beendirected by the Unanimous vote of the .National Committ. tee,' to name Hon.1 ' Richard B. Hubbard, of Texas,-Jor the temporary Ghairmatt of this Convention. As many as 4 avor rthe , elecr tion oVHon. R. B. Hubbard for temporary Chairman, will say aye, contrary no. Hon, R. B. Hubbard, of Texas, is. unanimously elected temporary Chairman of this Con vention. - . " -:i ; The t Chair u appointed i Senators B. ..Ff Jonas, of La., Hon. Georee J. Barneso Ga., and Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, of N. T. as the committee to wait upon, Mr. Hub bard and conduct.him to. the chair. ; This duty performed, the Chair said i -' Gentle-: men of the Convention,-1 have the dietm-J guished honor .of presenting to this Con vention Hon. Richard B. Hubbard, of. Texas, elected absolutely, impartially, tem-' porary cbairmanax this Convention, Mr. Hubbard, in taking the chair ,g'ave: thanks for the honor done 'him, and which; he accepted not as a tribute to himself, but as a compliment ; to the : great. State from; which he came a State which is abeolute'y cosmopolitan in every fibre. The Demo-; cratic party in all its elements was the same' as it was when founded by the ;f ramers of) the constitution nearly, three-quarters of a: century ago. Men died like leaves in au tumn, but the principles of undying liberty s and self government were eternal, and the principles that underlay the Democratic party could not perish from' tbe earth,' al though their authors might cease to be. Applause. The Democratic party was! to-day as much a party organized for ag-: gressive works as when victory perched upon its banners. The Democratic party had now the House of (Representatives,, and would have the Senate also but " for treason in the Senate chamber itself. Cheers. It would have had the' Presidency, too, but for the bands of rob bers who struck down the expressed will of the people by means ofr perjury, bribery and corruption.. The Presidency had been stolen from the Democratic party by men uttering falsehoods through pale lips and chattering teeth. The souls of the men who had participated in that crime had passed in beyond the river, there to give an ac count of their stewardship, that the steal ing of the Presidency was . the greatest crime in their history. The great leaders of the party, Tilden and Hendricks, with tbe dignity which became heroic patriots, had submitted with tbe courage of men who love their country better than pelf and power. ! Cheers. J . The Democratic party now would reform, and should put for ward candidates whose names would be in themselves a platform. Cheers. It want ed a platform, too, that would speak in no doubtful tones or as a Delphic oracle. It should declare against corruption in the government; against the enormities of the civil service; against the so-called Depart ment of Justice; against tbe abuse of tbe postal service: against robbery in high places; that the burdens of the government shall be based equally and equitably on all classes of people; ana that the hundred mil lions of surplus revenue should not be al lowed to accumulate. . . In conclusion he urged , that whatever candidates were nominated, should be sup ported loyally, declaring that he who would not so support them would not be a good Democrat, and hardly a patriot. Ap plause. i The rest of the, temporary organization having been announced, Mr. Smally.of Ver mont, (member of the National Committee), offered ajresolution that the rules of the i last .Democratic Uonvention shall govern this body; except that, in voting for candi dates, no State should be allowed to change its vote until the roll of States had been called, and until every State had cast its vote ' ? ' Mr. Grady, of New York, offered as- an amendment, the following: "And when the vote of a State, as announced by the ' Chairman of the delegation, is challenged by any member of the delegation then the secretary shall call the names of the indi vidual delegates from such State and their indlvidnal preference as expressed shall be recorded as tbe ' vote of such'-- Siate." Laughter and applause. . v. . j - . , John R.. Fellows, of N.Y.. said that the Convention in his State had directed that, , in compliance witn immemorial usage in that State, the sentiment of its majority should be first ascertained, and that having been done, the vote of the New York dele- fation should thereafter be cast as a unit, 'he Convention . of New. York having placed upon. its delegates. that, trust, he challenged the right of this Convention to strip the New York delegation of the right .1 1 I 3 T , j . ! meruuy uouierrou. duuu acuon wouia not pass. , Mr, Fellows then read the instruc tions of the New York State Convention, showing that the delegates were bound to vote as a unit, -in accordance with the wishes of the majority..

"This, for instance," said Mr. W. D. Franklin, who was then travelling for an Easiern house, and Is known to merchants in ail parts of the country: "The risk which, indeed, amounts at most to a certainty of getting the dyspepsia from perpetual change of diet and water and from having no fixed hours for eating and sleep ing.

But I had to give up travelling for a while. The dyspepsia ruined my paper. 'Finally I came across an advertisement. oftPABKER'S XON1C. I tried it and it fixed me up to perfection.
