EBING, Five Honrs of Haiti Work-Thc Senatorial Delriratca and a Ms; cusitlon on Insliuciloug-J, c. Martin Connly Cbalrman. The county Democratic convention Saturday sat for nearly five hours. Some one had moved to adjourn 'or dinner 8 soon as an organization had been ccteil but this was voted down. Perhaps sitting, standing, talking and balloting lor five hours with dinner not in sight lad a tendency to nuke the delegates incline toward interim; into discussion with a viut and decisive-nets thai is not always noticeable The room was lull and it was a good looking, solid bod ol men, ready to say what it thought whenever the time came. At times, though not frequently, the discission grew warm and there was some confus ion. But thrrc was none of the commou wrangle about it; the delegates were good naturcd, and having won or lost were ready to abide the decision of the majority. Chairman Moore's position was not altogether an easy one. At one time there was such n talking among me ueiegni'8 iliac no one could be heard J he chairman rapped for order and nifused to recognize anyone until all should luve resumed their seats and restored qui. t. "Mr. Wanton," Chair man Moore said, 'if you will lead the way 1 think the delegates will sit down And business soon proceeded. During the time 'of it, however, John Lance mounted a lunch and made a speech enni every nosy ncnril, but could not fol low, because of the talking in other portions ol the house. un the hrst und only ballot for trcas- urer the vote was divided as follows among the three candidates: Courtney 1114-100 m.vuimis 24 tioweu .3-loo Mr. Courtney's nomination was mad unanimous, anil the naming of a candi date lor surveyor was nroceeded with I.

A Lively Cnutrsi, An umxjccted tilt was had over the instructions to the county's deleua- ion in the Senatorial convention A motion was made and carried that the delegates should vote the full strength velopcd in the primaries bv Locke Craig lor that gentleman as one of the nominees. J. M. Gudger moved to in struct point blank lor Craig while J. D. luurpny moved to amend by instructing for Craig and Davis. Mr. Craig an nounced that he did not want mere than the primaries gave him, and would not accept a nomination if it came that way. llicsc motions awakened a bumble bees n:st, and the discussion was lively. John M. Campbell thought the Murphy resolution un fair to Madison county, which has a right this year to name a candidate tl she so desires. Buncombe, he said, was entitled to one every time by virtue ol her population. The motions were spoken to by others. A vote utfeated the Murphy amendment. The Gudgcr original mo tion then came up. Chas. N. Vance moved to table it, and called for a vote bv townships. The chair ordered the vote that way and the Vance motion to table won the (lav, the vote being 7-1.40 to table, and 03 00 against tabling. W ben this was concluded the conven tion adjourned. For Judge Herrlnion. The following is the resolution offered by E. D. Caiter, and adopted by the convention : "Whereat, There is a ttron senti ment among the Democrats of Buncombe county favorable to the election of Hon. lames 11. Mernmon to the United States Senate at the approachine ses sion of the General Assembly ; The Democracy of Buncombe county in convention assembled, do hereby ex press its admiration ol the character. abilities, courage and patiiotism of this, her distinguished son, and its recogni tion of his dualifications in every way to fill that high position in a manner to reflect honor to himscll and to the whole State." The Prlmarv Hcaolmlon. The resolution as to primaries, olfered by Chas. N. Vance, and defeated, was as follows: "Whereas, It is apparent that tbe !. r.i : i.L.n u.m,.u.....,.v.x u. tne prinvipinui ik urai- ocratic party In Congress may depend upon the result of tbe election of two ertu Assrmuiv 01 Norm Uaro inn: nnrl "Whereas, There is a division of opinion among the Democrats of Buncombe county in respect to the persons who snouia De cDosen Tor those positions, and such division n-ay embarrass the candi dates whom we may nominate today, and imperil their election; and "Whereas, It is desirable that every means shall be employed to ascertain the will of the Democratic party and secure haimony in its councils and actions; now, therefore, it is "Resolved, That the executive commit tee of the Democratic p.irty ol Buncombe county is directed to provide for a pri mary election for two Senators in tl:i Congress of the United Stales, to be ncld at every voting place in the county on Tuesday, the Gth day of November next, in winch election every voter who shall on that day have voted Hie Demo cratic ticket, may vote for two Vuited States Senators, indicating on their bal lots the names of the persons preferred for the long term and lor the short time.

Townatilp Convention. When the county convention adjourned the Democrats of Asheville township hi Id their convention. Iiug. D. Carter was selected chairman nnd assumed the duties of that office with one of the most expressive speeches ever made in the court house. Ulevuting his voice and assuniinir a most dramatic air he said: "Fellow Democrats of Asheville town. ship ! We have met here today to do the most important thing that is to be done ror tins campaign.

John Lance s stentorian ' I second that motion" was numerously in evidence. Une delegate wanted to know at one of the contused points if the convention was a muss meeting. Chairman Moore had both hands full as presiding otlker. Joe Dickcrson is just exactly the man lor secretary. He handles vuluar nd complex tractions with cloves off xpediliously. there was a micstion raised ns to the vote given by t'ppcr Hominy on one of the ballots, it being at variance with the primirv vote published last week in The Citizhn. the delegation said The Citizen was correct, but that the differ ence was caused bv the withdrawal ol one of the candidates voted for on the st of September. LOtlKI.MIi FOR A CHANGE. II la Comlnie and Aatitv.lle Will Be lien li ted. K-iilroadcrs are talking ol a change that, it is believed, will soon be made whereby Paint Rock, once the terminus of two divisions of railroads, will be relcj gated to the position of a 11. tg station. When this is done Asheville will lie made the dividing line between the two ivisions, trains rumiine through from Knoxville to Asheville and from Salisbury to Asheville, making this city the lay-over point. The change would be of considerable benefit to Asheville, giving the city more importance as a railroad center, and, besides, making this the hendounrters of a lame number of railroad men who now huvc to lie over at Paint Rock. The date ou which the change is to be made cannot be defi nitely given, but that it is to be made seems a certainty, nnd the date is con sidered not fur in tbe luture.

Iiarly in the uftirnoon a strong wind from the southwest snrung up, reaching the velocity of 25 miles an hour and the fires which hud been smoulder ing in the brush were fanned to fierce ness. The northbound St. Paul and Duluth limited train which arrivcj at 10:20 o'clock lust night, nearly four hours late, was stopped nt Rush City because ot the hrc near the tracks 111 many pieces of woods. At I'uie City there was the same pall of smoke and red glow in the Ilea vein that told Duluth of Hinckley's destruc tion n week airo.

Then intermittent showers made their reap pearance. Nearly a thousand ex seamen, repre senting some 8,000 members scattered over the country, participated in the seventh annual parade of the national association of naval veterans. It was the largest turnout and the finest in point of appearance in the history of the organization. The firing of the admiral's salute at 8 o'clock gave the signal for the various local associations to form in line for inspection. It was half past nine when tnc neaii 01 the column received the sig nal to move.
