NAMED BY TDK XINTH'S DEMO
CRATIC CONVENTION'.
The Nomination AVas Made on Second
Ballot B. D. Gilmer for Elector
Geo. S. Powell and W. E. Moore for
Delegates to Chicago; A. E. Posey
and E. J. Jnstloe for Alternates.
"Geotleiiien, I bespeak you fur har
mony," said Judge Geo. A. Shufcrd in
the Grand opera house yesterday after
noon in bis speech accepting the chair
manship of the Ninth district Democratic
Congressional convention. And the har
monious feeling was everywhere present.
The di legations occupied seats in the
parquet and drss circle, and the delega
tions from the various counties filled that
portion of the hruse. Old Buncombe,
with her 72 votes, was as ever in evi
dence, while there was something new in
seeing a card labeled "Mitchell, "over the
delegation from that coantv, in a Ninth
district convention.
Before the opening ex-Congressman W.
T. Crawford walked upon the stage and
was greeted with cheers, which were
doubled when a little fellow in the Jack
son delegation was raised above the
beads of the crowd and relied out "Rah
for Crawford!"
Geo. A. Sh.ilord, Chairman.
At 4:17 R. D. G.ltucr, chairman i-f the
Congressional executive committee,
called the convention to order and caller
udge Shuford to be temporary chair
man. "As it is always a pleasure to
serve the party of the people." said the
Judge in taking the chair, "I very readilv
take upon me the duty. It is relreshing
to lie here. This is in some respects an
unusual ton yentior. In many instances
delegations have come instructed to vote
lor some pet candidate first, last and all
the time, instead of trying to select the
best candidate. There are but tew of
this; delegations instrncted at all. We
have but one motive: to find the strong
est man, the man who will beat Rich
mond Pearson. The man we select will
be the choice of the Democratic party
and will be t he choice of the people of the
dist L-t in the next election. We owe to
the country one thing: to nominate the
strongest man. As a delegate said to me
today, 'We are for the runningest man
whatever his name is.' I have nothing
personally against Pearson, but my ob
jection is that he ba no politics, and
won't keep what he pretends to have. I
believe in political as well as personal k
tegrity. We owe it to ourselves to defeat
such a man as he. We want to give to
the people a man of clean political and
personal record, and a man of ability. I
wouldn't trust any question to Pearson;
btfjre his term is out hewillbetraveverv
trust for bis personal en J. We should
show to the world that such a man can
not represent this people. He has a repu
tation as the grand briber and corrup
tionist, the most skilled in this that ever
ran for office in Buncombe. I nevir saw
bim buying a vote, but he has that repu
ta ion. And now. I bespeak yon for har
mony, and for deliberate acd wise action
I in making your selection."
Representatives of the city Democratic
press were asked to act as temoorary sec-
: etaries, and J. P. Kerr was made reading
clerk of the convention.
The roll call showed that tv.ry county
of the district was represented, and that
tbtre were no contests.
Committee on Resolutions.
E. R. Hampton moved the appoint
ment of one from each county on perma
nent organization, but a motion pre
vailed to make the temporary organi
zation permanent.
Jos. E. Dickeisin was made permanent
secretary on motion of Walter E. Moore.
When it came to selection of the com
mittee on platform and resolutions a
motion was made by a Yancey delegate
that each delegation should sehct one
from its number. This was cariied, but
Judge H. B Carter moved a reconsider
ation, as all stood for free silver, acd
there was no need to consume time in
ibis wav. Gen. Hampton took issue
with Judge Carter. He said the conven
tion should speak emphatically and with
no uncertain sound. The convention
was of this opinion and the following
members were named for the committee :
Buncombe, R. B. Vance; Clav, W. P.
Moore; Cherokee, T J. Cooper; Graham,
W J. Cocke; Haywood, . A. Collins;
Henderson, M. W. Egerton; Jackson,
Walter E Moon ; Madison, Jasper Ebbs;
McDowell, Thos. Morrir; Macon, esse
S. Sloan; Mitchell, J. M. Buchanan; Folk.
U. . Markham; Rutherford. Edward
Beam; Swain, R. j.Roan; Transylvania,
T. S. Boswell; Yancey, C. L. McPeters.
Gen. Hampton moved to adjourn to 8
o'clock, in order to give the resolutions
committee time to make up its report.
On the motion the roll call of counties
was began, Buccombe starting with
72 against it. By the time Haywood
was recorded the vote was 115 against,
to 14 for the motion, and it was with
drawn. M. L. Shipman moved to have W. T.
Crawford address the convention daring
the absence of the committee, bat Chair
man Shuford ruled that speeches would
be out of order until the convention busi
ness was concluded.
Executive Committee.
Then on Gen. Hampton's motion the
following Congressional executive com
mittee, to serve two years, was named,
each county choosing its representative
on the committee :
Buncombe S. F. Chapman.
Clay 1. W. banderson.

motion carried. 1
Geo. S. Powell ot Asbeviile and Walter
E. Moore of Webster wtre named as

Powell's nomination. "We know be is
for free silver," tbe speaker said; "is Mr.
Moore for free silver ? On being assured
that Mr. Moore, who was out with tbe
committee, was a silver man, Messrs.
Powell and Moore were nominated by
acclamation.

Tbe Resolutions,
The committee on resolutions then
returned witb Ha repbrt, which was
rod by W. f. Cocke, as follows:
Wkercaa, Tlic Democrats of the Niath Con.
rraaskwal district at eoaventioa assembled
hereby again declare their aUegiaace to the

"Whereas, We beltcrt that the financial qoea.

paiga, and thut genome prosperity cannot be

policy ecttblnne d by the Republican party in
1S73. but cx B only be brought ab ut by restoring

gain its place as the money of the people

therefore, be it
"Resolved, That we declare ourselves in favor
of the free and nnlimi'ed coinage of both gold

crimination against either at the mints, with
full and cqnal debt paying and purchasing
power to both alike by the government of the
Lotted Mates, indepeuoeot ot the action ol any
other government or nation.
"Kesolvea. second.. That tne delegates elected
by the convention to attend the National Demo
cratic convention at Chicago be instructed to
cast their votes first, last and all the time for a
platform and candidate for President and Vice
President in fall accord with the above resolu
tions. "R. B. Vance. Ch'n,
"Wm J. Cocte, Sec'y."
E. R. Hampton moved the adoption of
the report. Thos. A. Jones did not think
the latter portion should prevail. "It
we instruct for one thing," Judge Jones
said, "and the State convention lor an
other, which will the delegates obey ?"
"In that case, our delegates will obey
this convention," answered Mr. Cocke,
amid much applause. The report was
then adopted.
W. W. Jones moved to adjourn for ball
an hour, to consult before beginning
nominations for Congress, but the mo
tion was voted down, and nominations
were called for.
Locke Craig.
The call of counties began for nomina
tions, lodge H. B. Carter came to the
chairman's stand and said: "The duty 1
now attempt to perform would have
been performed by Jude Menimon bad
be not been unavoidably detained. We
have assembled to nominate tbe next
Congressman. I firmly btlieve that the
man who leaves this house as the nom
inee will be the next Representative. Th

on the personnel, but c n the s:re of the , adopted. Tbe outlook at noon is favor

Buncombe gave way to Yancey for fur- j
tber nominations. j
C'has. N. Vance. j
Julius C. Martin, esq, was tbe next;
nominating speaker. "Six years ago," ;
he said, "I stood iu thia bouse in the first ;

of the Ridge. The grand old Democratic !

present is the Honorable Charles N

Joseph 8. Adams.
Cherokee nominated lames H. Merr:
mon of Buncombe, and Henderson yield- ;
ed to Yancey. Representing the latter
county, G. Ellis Gardner said he was
from a countv that since 186H had not
failed to give a Democratic majority. It
will give 300 majority for the nominee. '
"I present a man to you whom my pec-.
pie love as well as they love themselves. ,
He has fought his way to tbe highest
place in his profession; who asls no i
compensation for his labor; who works j
for principle and asksno reward. Ia the ;

When you go to Washington and meet
him on tbe street, you will feel like going
up to him and saying 'Howdy, Joe'.'
Tbe name ot that man is fosepb S
Adams."
J. n. Merrlmon Withdraws.
When Jackson was called G

.
ton said: "We are here in the interest of
harmony and united action. There is no
friend we love above tbe man who can
beat Richmond Pearson. We want a
man who can beat bim. Two years ago

house that a tariff bill bad been passed,
and that another Democratic pledge bad

no more ! I present to yon a man pre
eminently popular with the people of tbe
district." Here a telegram was banded
to the speaker. It proved to be from
lodge Merrimon, w ho was being nom
inated by Gen. Hampton, and stated
that he could not accept tbenomination.
So Gn. Hampton spoke no farther.
W. T. Crawford.
Jasper Ebbs of Madison desired to
i name a man whose name is a household
word in tbe district, "whose Democracy
bas been tried. His record has been tried

Mr. Adams was a man whose record
was withont a scar. "He stands as a
