Leading colored ministers of Bir mingham, A'a., are advising the voting members of their flocks to vote for Oates for Governor on common-sense business principles. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says letters from their r Democratic constituents are pouring in upon the Senators insist ing on a genuine Democratic tariff. Senators Voorhees ana Vest and Hon. W. L. Wilson, of the tariff con ferees, are sick. This tariff mess has also made the Democracy of the country pretty sick. The Democracy is quite rugged, however, and will survive it. New Chinese cotton mills have re cently ordered $1,000,000 worth of machinery from England. Our stupid tariff laws cut American man ufacturers out and give English man ufacturers a practical monopoly of this business. A Brooklyn alderman who was supposed to be worth about $350, 000, left an estate worth a million. He began life by selling soap, from which it appears that there are great possibilities in a combination of soap and alderman. Iebs says he doesn't believe in strikes but favors arbitration to settle disputes about wages. His late ex perience should cure him; but for a man who doesn't believe in strikes he seems to have taken a remarkably active part in the l ite one. If he did believe in them he would probably be a hustler.

The Question as to the Legality Of the Organisation of the County committee Correspondence Between Mr. Weill and Chairman Simmons. The following correspondence on a subject which has been agitating the minds of New Hanover Democrats tor some days explains itself : ' Wilmington, L C, July 27. 1894. Hon. E. M. Simmons. Chairman Demo cratic Executive Committee, Raleigh, N. C: My Dear Sir: A question has been raised in this county as to the proper and lawful method of selecting the Ex ecutive Committee of this county under the plan of organization of our party, and was referred to me for my opinion as a member of the State Executive Committee. Section 1 of the plan of organization provides for the election of five persons in each township for an Executive Com mittee of the township. Section 2 provides for a meeting of all the Executive Committeemen elected in the several townships on the day of the County Con vention.'or at such time and place as a majority of all the Executive Committeemen in the various townships shall select ; and section 2 further pro vides that at such meeting of all the Executive Committeemen of the various townships, those present, such being a quorum, shall select an Executive Com mittee for the county, to consist of not less than five members. Section 9 provides what shall consti tute a quorum when all the township Executive Committees have a meeting for the purpose of electing a County Ex ecutive Committee. The township Executive Committees did not meet on the day of our County Convention tor the purpose of electing a County Executive Committee. There are forty Executive Committeemen elected in this county five each from eight wards and townships. I therefore decided that it would requite twenty one of the forty to sign a call for a meet ing of all members of the various town ship Executive Committees, and after giving due notice to all not signing the call, for the members to meet and ac cording to Section 2, of plan, to first de termine how many should constitute the County Executive Committee, not less than five. I further decided that a ma jority of the townships would have to be represented in the meeting before any business could be legally transacted. The law is too plain to my mind to admit of any other construction, but I do not wish to give any one the oppor tunity of saying that my opinion is a partisan one, and therefore ask that upon receipt of this you will wire me if your views and construction of. the above sections, namely: 1, 2 and 9 agree with mine, and I will be also obliged if you will write me any further views you have upon the question at length. Every one here feels that as the head of our party you will construe the party laws without regard to sides and divi sions in the party. Yours very truly, Sol. C. Weill. Rooms Democratic State Executive Committee, Raleigh, N. C, August 1, 1894. Mr. Sol. C. Weill, Wilmington, N. C: My Dear Sir I understand from the statement of yourself and that of Mr Green, with reference to the controversy over the election of the County Execu tive Committee of New Hanover: First, that there was no meeting of the several township executive committees for the purpose of electing a county executive committee held on the day of your late county convention, and that no meeting of said committees called by a majority of said committees has since been held. If this is a correct inference of fact from these statements, and I think it is, there has been no legal meeting of the town ship eqecutive committees for the pur pose ot electing a county executive com mittee. Second. I further understand from these statements that the several town ship executive committees met separately at some other time than the day ot the meeting of your county convention, and at different places, and selected from the body of their respective committees in some cases one and others two persons, and it is contended that these persons, so selected, became, Dy virtue otthisselec tion, either members of the County Ex ecutive Committee or entitled to repre sent their respective townships in any meeting ot the township committees convened to elect a County Executive Committee. That these persons as selected as aforesaid did not become members of the County Executive Com mittee seems to me clear, and for the reason, that the plan of organization does not authorize the township com mittees to act In this manner separately, but expressly requires them to meet to gether and after determining the num ber of its members, elect this important committee, in joint session, and alter mutual consultation. On; the other hand, conceding that these committees did meet ana mat tneir meeting was according to the plan and legal, and that these persons, so selected, have the right to represent their respective townships, ana oeing the only rep resentatives lrom their townships, had the right to cast the whole vote of the committee electing them, still it does not appear that this meeting elected or attempted to elect a County Exective Committee, but I infer from your statements, that these gentlemen so assembled proceeded upon the as sumption that they constituted a County Executive Committee by virtue of their selection by their respective township committees, acting separately, in pursu ance of a practice that had grown into a custom in their county. It therefore seems to me that there was no legal meeting of these committees and if there was a legal meeting, there was no elec tion by the meeting ot the County ex ecutive Committee by it. Speaking with reference to the proper method' of calling a meeting of these committees to elect a county committee, l beg to sug STAR gest: Section 1, plan of organization, re quires the township committees to con vene at the meeting of the County Con vention, or at a time and place that a majority of them may elect. The word mem in this section refers to the com mittees and not to the members thereof. and the call for such a meeting must be by a majority of the committees. When the committees have assembled in meet ing, thus legally called, if a majority are represented, though by but one member lrom each, there would be a quorum under Section 9, and those present, whether one! or more, would cast the vote of their township, just as in our county conventions. The plan of organization is the law of the party in every county in the State, and no county has a right to abrogate it and set up a law or plan of its own. If the party in any county sets up apian in conflict with the party's plan, it rests npon the general acquiescence of the party in that county and cannot en dure when that sanction is withdrawn and the party method is insisted on. In conclusion, I sincerely hope, in the in terest of party harmony and success, you may be able to compromise and adjust your differences. If yon cannot? do so, however, by an amicable agreement, I am convinced that the least friction will result from a strict adherence to the plan and ways prescribed by the party. 1 am, yours truly, F. M. Simmons, Chairman. Sections 2 and 9 referred to in the above correspondence are as follows : ' Section 2. The several township Executive Committees shall convene at the meetings of the several County Con ventions, or at any time and place that a majority ol them may select, and shall elect a County ExecutiveCommittee, to consist of not less than five members, one of whom shall be designated as chairman, who shall preside at all ot the committee meetings. 'Section 9, In cases where all the township Executive Committees are re quired to meet for the purpose ot elect ing County Executive Committees, said meetings shall be deemed to have a quo rum when a majority of such townships shall be represented in said meeting." CORjBETT AT HOME. The Champion in Hew York Says He Will Fight P. Jackson in This Country or Any Other. New York, August 1. James J. Cor bett, the pugilist, arrived in New York to-day, tresh from his tour in the old country. He was accompanied by his wife, his father and mother; his trainers, Billy Delaney and Tim McVey; his sparring partner. Prof. John Donald son; his private secretary, Bud Wood thorpe, Bobby Gaylor and several mem bers of his "Gentleman lack" theatrical company. In speaking of his trip Corbett said I have had a most enjoyable three months abroad. 1 was well received wherever I went and made many friends among our bnghsh cousins. "I came back to this country for the express purpose of meeting Peter Jack son. I will remain in this city until Au gust 14th, and if Jackson wants to fight be has only to appear here. I will see him whenever he comes and within five minutes the whole thing can be settled. "It has been said that I would meet Jackson only in Jacksonville, Fla. That is not true. I will meet him wherever he wants to meets me, in this country or any other. Obviously the fight can not come off at once. "While I think that I look pretty, I am by no means in good form. London dinners have been too much for me. Yesterday I tried to do- some rope skip ping on the deck and found that 1 could not last at all. It will take just about six months for me to get in prime form, but then I shall be ready for Jackson. Corbett's idea is to have a time named and then wait for a certain length of time for offers. Then Jackson and he can fight before the club which makes the best offer. Corbett appeared to be in fine condition. His compleqion is clear, his movements are agile and his eyes shine with remarkable brightness, Neill Archie McLean. The nomination of Neill Archie McLean for Solicitor of the Seventh Judicial District, which was effected on the 427th ballot, at Fayetteville, yester day, will give general satisfaction. There were several other excellent names be fore the convention, and the persistence with which their friends stood by them as long as there was hope, is worthy of all praise. But none of them was the superior ot McLean in all or any of the qualifications necessary for a proper discharge of the duties of the position to which they aspired. McLean comes from sturdy Irish stock; he is a straight Democrat; a fine lawyer; an excellent speaker; and, withal, a man of strong common sense. Rest assured, the voice of the eloquent Scotchman will be heard during the present campaign. He will call the clans together, and he will expound the tenets of true Democracy. Old Robe son, "his native heath" and his home, will roll up a majority for McLean and the whole ticket that will astonish Re publicans and Populists alike. THE WEATHER. U. S.

Robinson, in a natrmt ir s-ippr-h in hehaH of Mr. Cook, withdrew the latter's name from the Convention. This decided the fortunes of the day, and on the follow ing ballot Mr.i McLean received 191 votes 135 being required to nominate and, amid great applause, the nomina tion was made unanimous. A committee waited upon M. Mc Lean at the Hotel Lafayette, escorted him to the hall, and the chairman intro duced him to the Convention, which he addressed in a graceful and very effec tive speech. Subsequently, Messrs. Cook, Shaw, Douglas, Lyon and Lewis appeared on the rostrum, and pledged their hearty support to their successful competitor. After a brief, but eloquent speech from Mr. Burkhead, of Columbus, and a vote of thanks to the chairman and secretaries, the Convention adiourned amidst the best of feeling. The nomina tion gives great satisfaction. CORRESPONDENCE; "August 2, 1892. Mr. Charles H.

Beyond this the Demo cratic Executive Committee exacts no pledge of you, and leaves you at perfect liberty to attend and narticinate in anv manner your judgment shall dictate in me meeting oi townsnip executive committeemen caned to assemble Wilmineton. on Saturday. Aucmsr 4th With high consideration, very truly yours, n. MCL. UREEN, Chairman of the Democratic County executive committee. H. McL. Green, Chairman of The Demo cratic County Executive Committee. Upon the condition mentioned in your communication of this date. I have the honor to accept the nomina tion which you have offered me. Very respectfully, Aug. 2nd. C. H. Alexander. To the Public. In Thursday's issue of the Messenger there appears a card signed by J. W. Branch, Andrew Blair, W. F. Newton and J. T. Brown, relative to the comoo sition of the Executive Committee of the Fifth Ward of which I am a mem ber. The use of my name by them ap pears without my consent or authority, and the information they furnish is mis leading a misstatement, and at variance with the facts. They have been exceed ingly anxious to have me resign and have brought all the pressure to bear on me they could to attain this end but I still hang on. If I have attended none of the meetings of my Ward Committee, it is because they have been very caretul to keep me in igno rance of time and place they have been held, and this weak attempt of my orotner committeemen to "put me in a hole," with the public will not be ac cepted, except by those, who, for their own ends wish it wese so, and by the very credulous. The facts are these: said to Mr. Branch that I was anxious to have Mr. Walker Taylor on the com mittee to fill the vacancy caused by the tie vote, and he agreed with me, for ob yious reasons, that it would be a wise thing to do. The other two members also assented, but when certain envoys from an adjoining ward coached them for awhile, they finally decided upon the selection of Mr. Hall instead of Mr. Taylor. All that I have ever said about resignation was that if it were necessary for me to resign in order to get Mr, Taylor on the committee, I would do so, But Mr. Taylor is not on the committee, and I have at no time, either verbally or by letter, tendered my resignation as an Executive Committeman from tbe Fifth Ward, nor have I authorized anv one else to act for me. I signed the call for the meeting on Saturday in the full exercise of my right, and expect to be hi my seat there on that day. Respectfully, t Signed J. T.
