THE STATE CONVENTION.
. Deadlock Broken by Nominat
in W. W. Kitchin tor Governor
R.ther a Stormy Meeting, but
Harmony Prevails-The Ticket.
orth Carolina has passed
through a State political conven
tion that has no rival in its previ
ous history.
It was made so by the depart
- from the old-time campaigns
by the candidates for governor,
thousands of dollars being ex
pended bv each, and a campaign
Jwacterized by flagrant per
sonalities on the part of two of
Knm-nrinais in tueir cuuiesi
Llno ntainst the other.
ti n Tupsdav of last week, the
n Ar previous to the meeting,
II rwlntte was filled with dele
II tes and friends of the respect
M fve candidates from all parts of
thStat'e Chairman Hugh G. Chat
ham called the convention to or
der, then calling upon Elder P. D.
Gold, of the Primitive Baptist
Church, to lead.the convention m
prayer, who offered a beautiful
petition to the Giver of all Mer
?ips that cood will might prevail,
and that the delegates should feel
that patriotic devotion ; that love of
State and country inair means
neace and prosperity.
Chairman Chatham, after mak
ing a splendid opening address
called to the chair as temporary
chairman ex-Governor lhos. J
.Tarvis. The contention showed
its love and devotion to this ven
erable patriarch, who is to-day
easily the brainiest man in the
State, and who yet lives in the
hearts of the people.
After effecting the temporary
organization a most impressive
scene was enacted when the con
vention adjourned out of respect
to the lamented ex-Presulent
Grover Cleveland whose death
Vccurred that morning. The im
Sfnse throng of delegates bowed
,V ile the band played slowly
lanza from Jesus Lover of My
oul."
The following resolutions were
dopted by a using vote:
Resolved. That the Democrats of
Nurtn Carolina, in convention assem
bled, have heard with profound and
sincere regret of the death of Grover
Cleveland, three times the nominee
and' twice the Democratic president of
the Lnitea States.
We recognize in Grover Cleveland
one of the Greatest statesmen who has
figured in puhlic life since the war, and
lu nis c'eaih we feel tnat tne aouiu uas
lost one who showed himself a friend
to it and did more to brintr about a
.re-united country than other public
officials in his day. '
That we tender our svmoethy to the
familv of PreidentCleveland and that
a copy of these resolutions of respect
bes nttoMrs. Cleveland, and in re
spect to President Cleveland's mem
ory that this convention do now ad
iourn until i.'iO o'clock.
Hon. W. L. Parsons; of Rich
mond county, was chosen perma
nent chairman. Iis remarks
were brief, and soon followed the
nominating speeches for choice
of governor ,
The first ballot for governor
resulted as follows:
Craitr. 334.88: Kitchin. 375.80:
Home, 147.14.
' The first . ballot represented
the strength of the several candi
dates as culled forth by the
primaries held in the various
' counties. But it was evident
after the third ballot a deadlock
was on, and there was a disposi
tion on the part of each delegation
to sit the other out to the finish.
Ballot after ballot was taken,
every fraction of variation for
either candidate calling forth
the wildest of demonstration.
. Sixty ballots hadbeen taken. Mr.
"Home realized that his chances
for securing the nomination were
small, . and he withdrew in a
' speech rather pathetic in nature,
marking as it did the defeat of
the greatest ambition he had
ever nurtured.
After Mr. Home's withdrawal,
.the inevitable result took place,
Snd fcbe sixty-first ballot, taken
at 7:30 Vclock fcatnrdnv nftPr. i
noon, gave the nomination to Mr.
The last ballot stood: Kinchin,
43.59; Craig, 881.72. v ' " '
A love feast followed the nomi
nation, which wa made unani
mous, ia which the friends of the
candidates took part.

was the contribution made to a
small boy who got a dollar to get
the change out of for a paper and
lost his man. In great distress

A gamekeeper on a northern estate
tells an amusiug story of the latest
thing in ths compensation lino. When
he was escorting the gentlemen round
the coverts one day the party were
alarmed to hear a loud cry just after
shots had been fired. Running to the
spot, a thick bush growth, the keeper
found a man lying groaning on the
ground.
"Some of them gents 'ave shot me in
tsthe leg." groaned the man.
Examination proved that the sufferer
had ii:eed received a bird shot pellet
In his left calf. It was a trivial in
Jury, but was handsomely compensat
ed for by the gentlemen In the party,
who presented the victim with quite a
good sum In gold.
That same evening the gamekeeper
came upon two men in a quiet lane en
gaged In a hot dispute about the shar
ing of some money. One of the men
had a shotgun, and. tapping it signifi
cantly, he said threateningly: "'Air.
shares, or I'll go straight to tho p'llce
and split on us both. I'll give the
game away. I'll tell 'em 'ow I put that
pill In yer leg to knock money out o
the shooters."

self, and the two conspirators decamp
