W. C. DOWD I ELECTOR. Sixth District Deiaocrats Very Rsnneal oas Platform' adopted o4 Coin mltlets Named Speeches by r :.. Be&aay sad Dowd. Everything was by acclamation? at yesterday's Sixth' District Congression al Convention, held in the New Han over Court House at 4 o'clock P. M. C A more harmonious convention or more representative body of men was never before gathered together in the shoe string, district. From the elec tion of temporary and permanent of ficers of the convention to the motion to adjourn, every item of the proceed ings, practically every " utterance by speakers on the floor, was graciously and enthusiastically concurred in, by the hundred and more delegates in attendance from every county in the district save Scotland, Robeson's new neighbor, which was here in spirit but not in person. Hon. John D. Bellamy, for Con gress, and Mr. W. CL Dowd, of Char lotte, for elector, were chosen without a dissenting voice. The convention was called to order by W. B. McXoy, Esq., of Wilming ton, and he called to the chair, J. G. Covington, Esq., of Union, as tempo rary chairman. . Representatives of the Democratic press from the dis trict were requested to act as tempo-' rary secretaries and later the temporary organisation was made permanent. Mr. Covington, upon assuming the chair, took occasion to congratulate the representatives from the counties of the Sixth District upon the splendid victory achieved on the first Tuesday in August. "I feel proud of the result of the battle of ballots," he said, "which was so manfully fought and which was so signally successful for the white people of the State. Out side parties waited "with bated breath the cesult of the conflict and the world will applaud when North Caro lina will sing, 'Ho! for Carolina!'" Here he repeated a few stanzas of this favorite air so dear to every North Carolinian, the words being adapted to the wonderful victory in the State for white supremacy. He concluded with a beautifully expressed hope that the nextgeneration would see the eradication of the Fifteenth Amend ment from the Constitution of this Re public. ' - A ! . ' A roll call of counties was, next made andthe convention was declared duly organized. As there were no con tests, upon motion of Wade Wiahart, Esq., of Columbus, the appointment of a committee on credentials was dis pensed with. The following committee on plat form was chosen by the various dele gations: Anson, J. G. Boylin; Un ion, R. A. Morrow; Pender, George E. Shepard ; Robeson, W. B. Harker ; New Hanover, Geo. L. Peschau; Bruns wick, F. M. Moore; Mecklenburg, Heriot Clarkson; Columbus, M. M. Harrelson ; Richmond, A, J. Maxwell. The committee then retired and the convention waited some time for its return. In the meantime there were calls for Messrs. P. C. Whitlock of Rockingham and R. E. Little, of Wadesboroo The latter suggested the practicability of proceeding with "the nomination of a Congressman. There were those who desired to wait until after the report of the platform com mittee was received, but when Mr. E. S. Willi"", of Mecklenburg, arose and placed in nomination Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy, the action - was spontan eous and before one hardly ' realized that a nomination was entered into, representatives from each county in the district were arising from their seats to second the nomination. The prettiest speech in seconding the nomination was by Dr. E. Porter, of Pender; the most enthusiastic by Messrs. George Warburton, of Rock ingham, and Frank Gough, of Lum- berton. - Dr. Porter said, in behalf of the De mocracy of Pender county, it afforded him great pleasure to second the nom ination of the gallant son of New Han over, coming as he -does from a family noted for its energy, talent, persever ance and its adherence to the tenents of Democracy proper. It is abundant ly proper that he should receive a sec ond nomination, which he has merited by his course in the last Congress, where he did honor to himself and credit to his constituency. OoL W. J. Woodward, as chairman of the New Hanover delegation, said that Wilmington people knew him and all over the .district he had been found faithful to every trust reposed in him. He thanked the gentlemen who had preceded him for the nomi nation, and characterized Mr. Bellamy as a Democratfrom 'heart, soul, mind, body and strength." Wade Wiahart, Esq., of Columbus, in behalf of his county, seconded the nomination and endorsed what had been said in Mr. Bellamy's favor. ' Mr. Frank Gough, of Lumbertem, in behalf of the "Banner County: of the BUte," he said, wanted to be heard from and he recounted Robeson's atti tude toward Mr. Bellamy In previous campaigns. "In 1894 we sat up all night in convention. Sox him,", said ir ninfi-2 and in 1898 we would have reneated the experience if it had Un nMMHn : Robeson had the world, the flesh, the devil and Oliver H. Dockery to contend with In the last campaign, but she came through all right and August 2nd out of 4,100 WILMINGTON," N. O., SUNDAY, AUGUST; 19, 1900. voiers she gave a majority of 3,545 for Ay cock.'' He predicted success for Mr. Bellamy in the coming campaign and promised the undivided support of his cou nty.. .; -. v ' M Mr.' George Warburton, of Rich mond, asked to speak on behalf of the "Home of the Red Shirts," He spoke of the redemption of his. county from Radicalism and of what it proposes to do in the future. "I feel honored," he concluded, "to second the nomination of Mr: Bellamy." - . , : : Mr. Williams, of Mecklenburg, then amended his motion and asked (hat the nomination be made unanimous by a rising vote. Chairman Covington sub mitted the question and every man in the room rose to his feet, ulessrs.' Wade Wishart, of Colum bus, EL McL. Green, of New Hanover. and P. a - Whitlock, of Rfchmond, were named by the chair to notify Mr. Bellamy of his renomination al es cort him to the hall. " l Platform Committee's Report. In the meantime the committee on platform came in and . Mr. Heriot Clarkson, of Charlotte, chairman of the committee, read the following. which was adopted by the convention, upon motion of Mr. EL C. Moffitt, of Columbus: We congratulate the Democracy of North Carolina on its recent splendid victory in ratifying the Constitutional Amendment and in electing its entire State ticket by a majority far exceed ing any in the past. We extend our thanks to those Ktriotic Populists and white Re pub ana who aided us in winning this great victory. We believe that the political inde pendence of the white man in North Carolina can be realized by the sub mission of all political differences to a white primary system, and we urge the Democratic Executive Committee of the State and the members of the next General Assembly to have the : Jtlank in the State platform declaring or a legalized primary enacted into law?- We denounce the plank in the na-1 tional Republican platform condemn ing as revolutionary the Constitu tional Amendments, etc., in the South which are aimed at eliminating the negro from, politics. we denounce Mr. McKiniey. the Republican President, for appointing negroes to offices of trust in North Carolina, and we hereby appear to all white men in north Carolina to vote against a party which condemns our constitutional amendment. - We approve the course of our dis tinguished Congressman, Hon. Jno. u. Bellamy, and we condemn the con test of his opponent for his seat in the House of Representatives as wholly unwarranted in law and morals. We snnrove the National Demo- cratic Platform recently adopted at Kansas City and congratulate the De mocracy of the district that our stand ard bearers are those true snd match less leaders, Hon. Wm. Jennings Bryan for President, and Hon. Adlai Stevenson for Vice President. Mr. Bellamy Preseited to Coaveatloa. Mr. Bellamy was escorted to the stand, after the adoption of the plat form, and after being presented by Mr. Wishart, he said in substance as fol lows: "Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Convention: "To receive a unanimous endorse ment for Congress in this district makes me feel profoundly grateful not alone to members of the convention here assembled, but also to the neonle of the great section of country which they represent. I have tried to do my duty as your representative in the last Congress, even though handicapped, as I was, by the most bitter and re lentless contest, based on misrepresen tion and slander against the voters of the Sixth district, that was ever waged in the House of Representatives. I was arraigned as a member elected by force, intimidation and fraud, for the evident purpose to belittle me as your representative and neutralize my work in Uongress. My opponent nas utterly failed thus far in his attempt, and I still retain my seat in the Fifty-sixth Congress. "In the camDaisrn which has just opened new issues nave sprung up and imperialism and trusts present them selves for discussion and upon the solution of these questions depends whether we will continue our govern ment as originally intended by the makers or go to the contrary. These are the paramount and only issues in the campaign before the people oi tne nation. The whole drift of the times is towards an empire. All that is lacking to transform it into a mon archy is the time, the place, the force, the man. The time has not yet come ; the force is represented in large stand ing armies; the man is McKinley. If let alone the Republican party will erect an Aligarchy a monarchy or whatever you may choose to call iL - ' "We have either to annex the Phil ippines or get rid of then. We can not hold them as subjects, tor mis is contrary to the Constitution as Filipi- nnm vnnlH fiavA viorhta iraarftnteed to them which would be respected. They M 11 fi! J are not aesimoio u ciuzona m we u not care for any more dark skins. A MnnhllMn form nf iroTaniniani ao Sav the Republicans, is no longer adapted to conditions; weaiin win nos oe pro tected by a Republic and they want a strong sunning army ana an empire. "The other dominant issue is the great question of trusts. : These con tribute to cheapen products of labor. The Democracy makes no war on organized wealth but believes in extending justice to all equal rlit and twins! inntiftA to labor and capital alike. It believes in encour- ftging traae, in lostenujc - cuuuauuc but never at the sacrifice of govern ment. These questions are the great paramount and predominant issues. -"In the present campaign I shall go upon the stump as I did in 1898, and will do all I can for the success of the party and its cause. I firmly believe Bryan will be elected. The tendency of affairs is that way. The election machinery of all the great cities in the United States, except Philadelphia, is in the hands of the Democrats, where as in the last election it was in the hands of the Republicans and the most wicked : intimidation was practiced upon the laboring classes. The Demo crats will this year see that Bryan's vote ia cast and counted correctly. They will not resort to fraud, but the election result will more nearly reflect the desires of the masses. The will of the people, like the sea of Holland is always in sight,' and this year it will k. win I n atoht than . ever - before. Then buckle' on your armor and go into the fight manfully, for our cause is enveloped in iustice and justice win prevail." . : - "T ' .J-", v NIN 4 When. Mr. Bellamy . had -concluded W. B. McKoy, Esq.," of Wilmington, nominated Mr. W. O. Dowd, of the Charlotte News, " for 4 elector. His choice, upon motion of ; Mr. F..H. Stedman, . was by acclamation, ' He was then called upon and responded in a speech full of enthusiasm, prom ising his most faithful endeavor dur ing .the campaign an6? assuring the convention of his sense of the trust and honor reposed in him. In referring to the issues of the present national campaign, he said that for "business" and other reasons some objected to bringing the negro into count.' He declared, that as long as a city the size of Wilmington the principal port of entry, in the State, had a negro collector of customs and that as long as counties of North Carolina are infested with colored postmasters the negro will be an is sue. Those who seek to stifle this issue, he said, are not friends of Bryan. y The following Executive Committee for the ensuing two years was next named and the 'convention adjourned sine die: Anson W.

The,ans! who took the trouble to go out to Hilton yesterday, after noon saw a game of ball - that was far from being bad. Although the attend ance was very slim, yet there was con siderable life on the grand stand and at times things had a ' lively aspect The noble boys from Sprunt & Sons faced the strong aggregation from the Atlantic Coast line with much pluck, but they were defeated by a score of llto8. The game was rather slow at times and lacked ginger and snap, but aside from that defect, it was an interesting exhibition of ball. There was some good playing on both sides, but the Coast Line did the best all around work. The features of the game were, for the A. C. L , the pitching of Lamb, the catching of Smith, McLaurin's work on third and Branson's long drive over left field fence: and for Sprunt & Son's, Moore's catching and the stick work of 'Jackson and Orrell.
