The XoxnxwQ Jftar,
By WILLIAM H. BEBN1RD.
WILMINGTON, M. C.
Saturday Morning, Aug. 25, 1894
A GOOD SIGN,
The convention which met at
Lumberton last Wednesday was a
a remarkable one in several respects;
remarkable in the number of dele
gates and citizens who attended it,
too large for the Court House, which
is a fair-sized building, to hold; in
the high order of intelligence of the
men who participated in it; in the
earnestness and zeal which they
showed in the business which
brought them there, and the fidelity
with which they clung to their
favorites from the first to the last.
Men who will sit in the open air for
a whole night and a part of two
days, and vote right along with little
or no change, ballot after ballot, for
."MO ballots, are earnest men, whose
earnestness cannot be questioned.
And that's what this convention did.
Mr. John D. Bellamy's following
stuck to him from the first to the last
ballot without a break or a waver in
the lines and made a record honor
able alike to them and to him. Num
bers and circumstances beyond their
control defeated them, but their un
flinching adherence to their first
choice forced the nomination of a
gentleman who would doubtless be,
in the event they changed their bal
lots, their second choice, and one
upon which not only the district but
the State may be congratulated.
The nominee, James A. Lockharr,
of Anson county, is a man of impos
ing presence, tali in stature, physi
. cally robust, handsome of mould,
graceful in carriage, affable in man
ners, gifted in speech and voice, elo
quent in delivery, and with mental
vigor and discerning judgment a
man who would attract attention in
any assemblage, and one of whom any
constituency might b.: proud. With
this he is credited by those who
know him best with a character dis
tihguisned for integrity, honesty,
sincerity, conscious discharge of ob
ligations and duty, adhesion to the
right as he sees it, for his thorough
bred Democracy and the courage to
stand by his convictions and. princi
pl-s at aU times and under all cir
cumstances. These are some, but
not all, of the honorable character
istics which gave James A. Lockhart
ins strong hold on the friends who
stood by him so steadfastly in that
convention.
While we in this end of the district
would rather have seen the banner
placed in the hands of him around
whom we rallied, we have no cause,
nor have the people of the district,
to regret that the honor of bearing
it has fallen upon one so eminently
trustworthy and deserving.
As this district is safely a Demo
cratic one there is no reason to doubt
his election, and the only uncertain
feature is as to the size of the ma
jority which he may receive, which
will be large enough to satisfy any
ordinary ambition if the friends who
- stood for him so zealously, and the
men who contended for others so
steadfastly show one-half the zeal
and determination in the canvass
that they did in the convention
which choose him as the standard
bearer of this district.
We like these earnest, hard-fighting
conventions where men animat
ed by a noble rivalry contend
bravely and honorably for the privi
lege of naming the leader, for they
are a good sign that the people are
awake, that they take an interest in
the success of the Democratic party
and realize that on the success of
that party depends their prosperity,
their happiness and the welfare of
the State. ;
While in some respects this was a
remarkable convention, it was in
others typical of the conventions
which have been held so far this year
throughout the State, all of which
have been notable for the determi
nation to put strong men at the
front and for a confidence of
strength and a singleness of purpose
never heretofore surpassed, if
equalled.
The people, who are always right
when their deliberate judgment is
formed, realize the importance of
keeping North Carolina solid where
she is within the Democratic lines,
and of demonstrating to the ambi
tious and disgruntled who have
strayed off after new gods, and to
the old enemy against whom we have
been fighting for years that it is not
In their power either singly or united
to break that solidity or to phase it.
They may not be versed in the lntri
casies of tangled questions, and
there may be differences of opinion
as to the methods to arrive at cer
tain ends and to solve certain prob
lems, but on the great, main, vital
issue of keeping North Carolina
safely moored in the safe haven of
Democracy there is no difference of
opinion. They are as firmly rooted
in that as the mountains which lift
their heads amid the clouds in their
beautiful Land of the Sky. They
were never more thoroughly in
earnest in that determination than
they are now, and never more re
solved to rebuke the schemings of
the disgruntled Democrats (few in
number) and their Republican allies.
MINOR MENTION.
There are men who would swindle
the Government by sfelling it rotten
meat, rotten clothingV &c;, for its
army, in peace or in war times, but
it is hard to understand how a cor
poration like the Carnegie Company,
of Pittsburg, which had its reputa
tion at stake, could ever have con
sented to palm off on it defective
armor for its war ships, when for the
profit it might make it not only im
perilled the ships and the lives of
the men on them, but the causes
which those ships battled for. De
fended by ships presumably strong
but weak in fact, our sea-coast cities
if attacked would be at the mercy of
the great war ships of other nations,
and the fact that it is not known
how much of this defective plate
there may be in the ships armored
with it lessens the confidence that
our seamen had in them and lessens
the fear that their antagonists might
have of them. In view of the serious
consequences that might result from
the perpetration of such fraud it is
astonishing that any corporation
would have resorted to it even to
the smallest extent. Even as busi
ness matter, if honesty and con
science and patriotism were not con
sidered, it seems to us that it should
have. been the aim of the company
to have furnished plates above rather
than below the requirements of the
contract, for of course after these ex
posures confidence in the honesty of
that corporation is blasted and the
Government will go elsewhere to
have its plates cast. While the Gov
ernment may have lost something in
a money way, the Carnegie Com
pany has in the outcome lost much
more.
We have heard much talk from
Populist leaders in this and other
States about the political "machines,"
and how they manipulate and control
nominations, &c., but if there ever
has been a more effective machine
than the Populist machine it hasn't
appeared up to date. It not only
slates the candidates, makes plat
forms, &c, but goes into conven
tions with every thing cut and dried,
so that the conventions, so-called,
are mere formalities, the dele
gates (selected by the ma
chine) simply voting to ratify
what the machine manipulators
had previously done. In South
Carolina the Populists call them
selves Reformers; but this is the
name they have adopted simply for
purposes of deception. In all the
essential features they are Populists.
How the machine runs the Reform
party in that State is graphically
told by Dr. Sampson Pope in the dis
patch from Columbia, published yes
terday. Tillman and his ring run
the machine in that State, and any
man who does not come in and sub
scribe to what they say and do will
be ruled out and, as Dr. Pope says,
practically disfranchised. And yet
some of the honest yeomanry who
obey the mandates of this ring inno-
cently think they are supporting the
cause of reform.
According to the reports from
Washington there seems to be doubt
as to whether the President will sign
the tariff bill or permit it to become
the law without his signature. We
do not see what Mr. Cleveland has
to gain for himself (if he permitted
self to enter into a question like this),
or for the party, the unification of
which ought to be a paramount ob
ject with him, by refusing to sign
the bill, for the whole country knows
that there are some features of it to
which he is bitterly opposed, and no
one would ever suspect him of
surrendering his convictions on these
by signing the bill, any more than
voting for it at last, committed the
Senators and Representatives who
contended for free raw materials to
the features to which they objected.
It is better that he should sign it,
and say nothing about it, than that
he should let it go unsigned, for if
he refuses to sign it, the Republicans
and the Populists will make capital
out of it, each putting upon it the
construction to suit themselves. The
bill has passed. It is as good a bill
as we could get, and a much better
bill than it has been represented to
be. We must go before the country
on it, and the President ought to be
with us in standing by it. It oughM
to bear his signature.
CURRENT COMMENT.
Republican journals talk
glibly of the desirability of free
sugar; but Republican Senators vote
solidly to lock up the Free Sugar bill
passed by the House by sending it
to the cold storage of the Senate
Finance Committee. Actions speak
louder than words. Phil, Record,
Dem.
For several weeks past the
Republican press has enjoined upon
the Republicans of the country to
keep an eye on Alabama. Now,
however, with one consent all the
papers of radical pursuasion declare
that the Alabama election signified
nothing, being merely a fight among
Democrats, or, at most, among Dem
ocrats and Populists. According to
their hind-sight, it was not much of
a rain after all. Mobile Register,

A STRONG TESTIMONIAL.
What a Leading Educator Thinks of the
American Encyclopaedic Dictionary.
The high standing of Capt. Washing
ton Catiett, Principal of the Cape Fear
Academy, both as a scholar and an edu
cator, gives a real value to the annexed
testimonial:
Wilmington, April 11, 1894.
Mr. W. H. Bernard :
Dear Sir: I have examined very
carefully the 1st Part of the American
Encyclopaedic Dictionary. I am really
surprised at the excellence of the work,
both for its intrinsic merit and its price.
I have made a parallel comparison with
Webster's Unabridged; and with the
Century, published also in parts, costing
me $2.50 per volume; or. complete, $60.
I find the American Encyclopaedic
Dictionary superior In many respects to
Webster's Unabridged, and for genera
purposes equal to the Century.
The type is distinct and full, the illus
trations numerous, the derivation of
words scholarly and accurate, the defini
tions exceedingly complete and verified
by many extracts from leading modern
authors, the encyclopaedic information
very lull, the diacritical marks plain,
with prominent equivalents at bottom of
each page.
I unhesitatingly endorse the First Part
of this Dictionary as meeting the require
ments of the scholar and filling the wants
of the general reader and man of busi
ness needing general information in a
compact and reliable presentation. No
one need fear that his money will be
misspent, who invests in this work.
Yours truly,
Washington Catlett.
