"Craig ti nil Hendtrsoti" is the slogan of the Dcmocrn's of the Thirty-third Sen atorial district, as settled upon by the convention which met in the court house Friday afternoon. The district is made up of Buncombe, Haywood and Madison counties, und there was o Roodl represen tation Ironi each of the three neighbors. Chuirman J. M Gudgcr, jr.. called the convention to order with an address urg ing the importance of selecting nu execu tive committee, and calling attention to all that was involved in the coming tl tion. The first thing in order, he said, was the election of a permanent chair man of the convention. Tims. Murray nominated Mr. Gudger aud he wus elected, whereupon he remarked that it was a good idea to elect the temporary chairman permanent chairman, as the convention thereby got rid of one ecck w. r. Kanuoipn was elected perma nent secretary. Locke t rulir Named. Nominations having heen declared in order, Hon. Jas. II. Merrimon was recog nized, and he made the speech placing Locke Craig before the body. Mr. Mer rimon thought the best sign of the harmony among the democrats this vcar was to be seen in their good tempered conventions. He did not remember a time since 1808 when Democrats were nearer torclhcr than thevare now. Nor was there ever a time in North Carolina when it more behooved the Democrats to stand together. He drew n picture of what might be expected if the control of the State government shuiild pass from the hands of the Democrats to those of the Republicans. "May God avert such a calamity !" he exclaimed fervently. He thouuht the man who was sent to the legislature should have a certain knowl edge of the law. The man he was to name had sat by the n.idnight lamp, pursuing his stu its. And he was no tyro in politics, but had worked hard in the Democratic fights aad without re ward. He was u man eiiii.l to meet and cope with any man who would be put up aguinst him. lie then uauied Locke Craig of Buncombe for one of the Sena tors who should represent this district. D. M. Luther, esi , by authority of T. F. Kecves, withdrew .Mr. Reeves' name in favor of Mr. Craig, with the assurance that Mr. Reeves would do nil in his power for the nominee 't success. David lioyd of Haywood responded when the roll cull reached his county. He paid his county had no candidate il Vlauisou had one, but the Ueinoirats would Give their usual maiority to who ever might be nominated. Thceaudidute tbev would name, if Madison did not ask to be allowed to Ijruisu cue, was os. S Duvis. ( bus. A. He llllei-son. When Madison was called for nomina tions, A'm. Gudgcr arose with the re mark that Madison wished to present a man who was the peer of any one in natural ability. He was born and reared in the hills of Madison, "where a Demo crat has to carry his polities nt a right shouliUr shift in order to get along." While not the fairtstamong ten thousand he was altogether lovely, und the man was Chns. A. Henderson. V. M N 'ttlcs of Buncombe nominated os. S. Davis, but Mr. Uoyri st. id under the circumstances Mr. Davis could not be a candidate lor the nomination, and withdrew his name. Jes'e l Lwrv seconded the nomina tion of Mr. Craig and said he would help to Locke the Republicans iu the basia of the Salt river of defeat. Mr. Nettles took occasion toclaitn Mr. Craig as a "sandlonpei-,"ns having come from the east, where the speaker had come from. Senator Jos. S. Davis made a short talk thanking the people of the three counties for the support they had given him two years ago, and pledged Hay wood to the nominees. He moved the nomination of Messrs. Craig and Hen derson by acclamation. This was sec onded hv Uncle I'lcas Israel and the vote was unanimous. Tin' Nominees speak. A committee composed of J. M. Leach, Mark Lance and Henry B. Stevens was appointed by the chair to escort the nominees to the stnnd. Mr. Craig was first to speak and after thanking the convention for the honor it bad done him, he avowed his intention to work bnrd and be elected. This was going to be a hard fight, but the Democratic partv had never faltered aud it would not falter now. The greatest question of the day, lie thought, was whether l'enrson and his sort of politics should triumph. Pearson's candidacy was a bargain and sale, and I'earson was ex pected to buy the Ninth district. He had bought the Republicans, horse, foot and dragoons. But the better elrnunt of that party would repudiate him, and there was a moral clement that would rise supreme. Mr. Craig stood squarely on the Democratic ptutlorm.and bis time from now on belonged to the Democratic party. Mr. Henderson thnnked the convention for its expression of confidence iu his ability. lie did not dread coalition, be cause a house divided against itself can out stnnd. He had found that thepropb ecics of scriptures were more true than those of the Kcptibl cans. He command the principles of the Rcpublicau and Pop tilist parties, which are now coulrscing. tie spoke r I Madisjn as the headquar ters lor everything, especially for down right ignorance iu publics, Short addresses were alio made by David lioyd and . M. Leach. Chairman Gudgcr appointed 1. 1. Red mond of Mndiion, David tiovd of Hay wood and 1. 1). Murphy of Buncombe to select un executive committee for the dis trict. This report named the following committeemen: Haywood Bailev oncs, Clyde; Jos. S. Davis. Iron Dull'. Madison A. II. Runnioii, Marshall; Jasper l-.bbs. Spring Cnek. Buncombe I. M. Gudgcr, jr., li, P.
