There is one New Yorker, that
seems to be able to look beyond his
State and seethe drift. The Washing
ton correspondent of the Richmond
State thus gives what is said of the
"coming man'f for 1888. He writes:'
"The other day I met a very prominent
New Yorker who is a close observer. In
the course of a conversation he said to me:
'There has been a great deal in the papers
about a Gov. Hill's candidacy for the first
place. Hill is one of the shrewdest men in
the United States. : and he knows very well
that he cannot get the first place, and in
reality he is working for the Becond place
on the ticket. New York! has had two
Presidents in succession; besides two other'
Democratic candidates since the war have
been New York men. Hancock was virtually
a New Yorker, although credited to Penn
sylvania because he happened to be born
and reared in the State, i but he lived the
most successful portion of his life in New
York. The Democracy have ignored the
West altogether, although the natnralpride
of that section is strong enough to over-'
come the Republican pluralities in Illinois,
Michigan and Wisconsin. Morrison is be-,
ing looked upon now as the most formida-
ble candidate, and with Hill on the ticket
for second place Tammany could win the
day in New York." . 5
Whoever shall be selected we hope,

It will be interesting to Southern
people to learn that Gen. A. L. Long,!
Military Secretary of Gen. Lee for
four years, has completed his me
moirs of the illustrious Confederate
leader upon which he has been at
work so long. -' It. will - be published
in October. Another item of inter
est to the Southern soldiers is in the
London Pall Mall ' Gazette., and to
the effect that " an eminent firm of
publishers in London are negotiating
with Gens. Longstreet and Beaure
gard fer the production of a military
history of ; the American civil war
from the Southern point of view, and
on lines not unlike those on which
the late Gen. Grant constructed bis

Hayes was a fraud all through. He
pretended to be too good to take a
drink. It is knon now that he
would drink freely at other people's
expense. The St. Paul bUobe tells of
one of his sprees. He often' visited
an old college chum in Washington
when he was delighted to imbibe
freely. He got so full once that he
had to be escorted home by an army
officer. The Qlobe says: I

venerable citizen in Eastern North Carolina

war of 1812, and a constituent of Hon: Tom
8kinner, who kindly looked ! after ' all his
wants while at Washington for several
weeks. Friday Mr. Skinner obtained unan
imous consent to call up out of its order his
bill to pension Bryant Waters, the soldier
referred to, but it was not until he had told
the Home that the applicant was 95, deaf,
blind, lame and not likely to live until the
next session. The bill as passed increases
the pension of $8 a month to $30 a month.
The amount asked for by Mr. Skinner was
$50. . A Pittsboro dispatch of August

Fayetteville Jfews: The re
moval, by death this morning at 5 o'clock
of Mr. Simon Brandt, our -Jewish friend, is
one which makes an impression of sadness.
Mr. Brandt's life of 85 years here made
him a respected citizen by all. and endeared
him to many. Another huge cargo of
steel rails has been received at Wilmington
for the a F. & Y, V. Railroad. The

Convention acquitted themselves better in
the full sense, or more gracefully than Mr.
J. H. My rover, of or neighbor, the 04
server and Gazette. Sampson county
has fallen into line. At the primary meet
ing last Saturday all her delegates were in
structed to vote solidly for Hon. W. J.
Green as the nominee for Congress. '
We ask a favor of our contemporaries,
that they will correct the impression that
Mr. J. D. Mclver was before the Judicial
Convention here, for such an impression
would be great injustice to Mr. Mclver.
The meeting of an adjourned meeting
of the dissatisfied delegates to the Judicial
Convention in the Town Hall on Thursday
evening at 8 o'clock, -was quite pronounced
as regards the action of the Judicial Con
vention on that day which then nominated
Mr. Frank McNeill for Solicitor. The
representation was that of Cumberland's 35
delegates, Bladen's full 29, Moore's full 36
and Brunswick's 10 who objected to the
convention's methods, The meeting was
very f ull and was presided over by Mr.
Kelly, of Bladen. The meeting was de
liberate and dignified and in every way or
derly. On a vote by counties, it was
shown that Moore was casting her full vote
of 36, Cumberland her 35 majority, Bladen
her full 29 and Brunswick 10 of her full 18.
The meeting was one of protest against the,
action of the convention, and as such con
sisted and continued throughout a very
large and decided opposition. : j

know to be good particularly to infants. But
of Mrs. Wlnslow's Soothing Syrup we can speak
from knowledge; in our own family it has proved
a blessing Indeed, by giving an Infant troubled
with oolio pains, quiet sleep, and the parents un
broken rest at night. Most parents can appre
ciate these blessings. Here la an article which
works to perfection, and which is harmless; for
the sleep which It affords the infant is perfectly
natural, and the little cherub awakes as "bright
as a button." And during the process of teeth
ing its value is Incalculable, we have frequent
