The ODinion of The Editor and the Opinion of Others which we Can Endorse on the Various Topics of the Day. THE CONVENTION. The State Convention about which there has been bo rauc'i discussion and speculation has come and gone. The much prophesied wrangle and split which so many feared and which probably a few desired did not occur, but to the contrary every thing passed off harmoniously and possibly as satisfactorily to all ele ments concerned as possible. The extremists both ways would have prefer! a different ticket and plat form, but the medial line between the contending factions was very nearly struck. This would not have been possible had not the Alliance conference taken lust the course it did- If the conference had present ed the St. Louis demands as an ultimatum, then if the demands had not been adopted there would sure ly have be An a split, and if they had been there might have been a split. So the members of the conference held the key to the situation. They were cool and deliberate. They act ed as if they had never seen any of the uncalled for and harsh criticisms and the wholesale misrepresenta tions by certain persons and papers. They were almost unanimously in favor of the St. Louis demands, and did endorse them by an overwhelm ing vote, yet took the position, that in a political campaign that they should demand no more than the organization was practically a unit for. That this much should bo de manded and worked for, and that the work of education should go on and the whole reform element of the State might by the time of the next fight be a unit on the present advancod principles of re form. This is safe leadership and good politics and the only method by which the principles of reform can win a permanent and progres . . ... sive victory. Tne nomination o1 Mr. Elias Carr for Governor is ex actly in line with this policy. He represents the principles of reform on wnicn tne Alliance ana otner reformers are practically a unit. Mr. Carr did not decide to allow his name to go bet ore tne convention till the night before. If he had not , either Dr. Sanderlin or Col. Julian Carr would have been the nomi nee, liuc Mr. Julias oarr stood as it were, between the two, and the friends of each naturally went to him after several ballots. And we should state here that Hon. S. B. Alexander would have been the nominee had he not positively re fused to allow his name to go before the convention. The nomination of Mr. Carr, Ex-President of tke State Alliance, is a capital selection, and should receive the support of all who favor good government. He will lead the ticket to victory. r. It. A. Doughton, the nominee for Lieut. Governor, is a man of ex cellent parts and in full sympathy with the reform movement. His father is President of the County Alliance ot Alleghany county. Mr. Doughton presided over the last House of Representatives with abil ity and eminent justice and impar tiality. Lis action in appointing eight members of the Joint Com mittee on railroad commission, who were heartily in favor of - the bill that i now a law, saved the meas ure. If he had been opposed to a commission it is very doubtful whether or not we would to-day have a commi-s'on. If he presides over the Senate as Lieut. Governor as he did over the Houee we shail have no caae to complain. Capt. Octavus uoKe, who is a member of the Alliance, was re nominated for Sec'y of State by ac clamation. Mr. D. W. Bain was renominated for Treasurer by acclamation. The State has nevr had a better and more efficient officer. This is his third term and is a high tribute to him. Hon. J. C. Scarborough, who had formerly been Supt. of Public In struction, was elected on the second ballot to succeed Maj. Finger, who had filled the office for two terms. Maj. Finger had made a very effi cient officer, but - the nomination of Mr. Scarborough adds possibly even more strength to the ticket. Dr. wanderiin's name was pre sented for Auditor, and he should have been nominated by acclama tion, but several names were put in. B.'M. Fatman was finally nominat ed for the position. He is a very affable and clever gentleman, but we think his nomination was a mis take. No one had ben mentioned. or discussed for this position, and the whole matter took the conven tion by surprise. Mr. Osborn was nominated for Attorney General. He Is one of the ablest young lawyers in the State, and entirely qualified for the im portant position. But he has more talent than sense, as was clearly fchown by his speech of acceptance. After he hed been nominated and largely aided by Alliance votes (for no one could be nominated without their help) he went out of his way to refer unbecomingly to the Alli ance and its demands. For doing so he was not accorded the attention and respect by the convention which he might have expected. The names of the delegates to national convention and the elec tors at large are given in another column. The ticket as a whole is an admirable one and will be strong ly supported. The platform covers nearly enough ground, but is not specific enough. Every party should be honest enough to be for a principle or against it, and to say so in unmistakable terms. But platforms are worth nothing unless we have men to stand on them who are as large as the plat form. We would prefer to have good men with p( sitive convictions tor candidates without any platform, than to have the best platform with uncertain men on it. In fact the convictions of the nominees is al ways the real platform. Therefore, the nomination of Mr. Elias Carr interprets and enlarges the platform. If Gov. Holt had been renominated it would have given the same plat form a different interpretation. The nomination of Mr. Doughton for Lieut. Governor aeo enlarges and interprets the platform in the inter est of the people. While nothing is said in the platform about the rail road commission yet the nomina tion of Mr. Doughton adds all this, and more. The committee he ap pointed on railroad commission in the last Legislature were for the bill as it passed. The Alliance delegates were about equally divided between Col. Skinner and Mr. Doughton, and after the withdrawal ot Col S. they were practically unanimous for hi-n, and so on we might go through the whole ticket and we would find that a majority of it strengthens and en larges the platform. AN -OPEN LETTER TO CONGRESS MAN GRADY. The tax payers and every true citizen of the 3rd Cng. Dist. will point with honest pride to your vote against the outraging appro priation and reckh ss plundering of the 52th Congress. They can hoa. estly and safely leel that in you, they have a true and able friend. They will ever honor the high mo tives which prompted you in enter ing your solemn protest against a measure so fatal in its tendencies, so reckless and appalling in its result. The River and Harbor Bill against which you voted appropriates from the people's pocket for im mediate expenditures, $23,000,000, and provides for future expendi tures to be appropriated by future Congress $27,000,000; in all, one bill carrying an appropriation of fifty million of dollars. Such games of plunder can not always continue. The light of investigation will re veal the true character of such in justices. They can not stand ex amination before the people, and it is unfortunate that the Democratic party will have it to explain and apologize for. The most ignorant and submissive of our citizens have not yet learned to wear the yoke of such bondage, as is being attempted to weld on them. And to you, Mr. Grady, and your North Carolina colleagues Mesirs. Crawford and Williams, and the other sixty-two patriots, the people will gratefully remember and confidently rely to protect their rights and their prop erty. The other one and six ty-eight traitors of the people should be ban ished frum the halls of Congress which they aie disgracing. The people have entrusted in the hands of these men, the honor, the future glory and prosperity of our nation, they have proven recreant to their trust, and their merit should be mekd to them. U.' S. Senator Colquitt, of GaM says of the nomination of Mr. Clere land : "I am convinced that his renomination would mean the cer tain defeat of the democratic party, involving not only disastrous con sequences to the democratic party. but untold mischief to us of the South." Senator Colquitt is not alone In his convictions. - One of our exchanges wishes to know If the claims of John Wana maker's friends that he is the most virtuous man in his party is not in tended to be an attack on Quay and Baum.

In cluding Senator Hill and Gray, left Washington for Charlotte, N. C, to attend the anniversary of the Meck lenburg Declaration of Independ ence. Senator Vance continues to im. prove and expects to be in his seat in the Sanate next week. The republican Senators in caucus decided that it was unnecessary to fill the place of executive clerk now vacant. The Department of State has re ceived a cablegram announcing the death, at Liverpool, yesterday, ot John II. Anderson, United States consul-general at Cairo, Egypt. The President and Mrs. Harrison, accompanied by Dr. Gardner, re turned to Washington yesterday afternoon on the light-house steam er Jessamine. Mrs. Harrisou is very weak and did not derive much ber.efit from the trip. Dr. Gardner says that Mrs. Harrison is resting comfortably and is not seriously ill, although she is not so well as when she left Washington. The salt air was too strong and brought on a re currence of her cough, and it was thought best that she should" return home. The Senate passed a number of amendments to the river and harbor bil 1, increasing some items and de creasing others. One item inserts ?23,000 for Patapsco river, Balti more. Senator -Hiscock, of New Yark, entered an earnest protest to the Senate Committee on Commerce against the passage of the North- river bridge bill, which his col league, Senator Hill, had favored. For the first quarter of 1892 the reports of the Postofiice Department show a large increase in the sale ot stamps and postal cards. The House committee on civil ser- vice reform has agreed on a bill to J exclude political influence from the 61,000 fourth-class postoffices in the country. House committee on elections has decided that Shonk, the Republican sitting member, in the Pennsyl vania case of Reynolds vs. Shonk, is en titled to his seat. The Pension Office investigating committee virtually concluded its labors last triday by adjourning un til Monday, May 23d, when several witnesses not now present in Wash ington will be examined. The net cash in the Treasury has "slumped" to 29,000,000, a:d of this $14,000,000 is in subsidiary coin and $13,250,000 i in national bank deposits. Payments on account of pensions so far this month have ag gregated $7,500,000. Mr. Suodgrasa, of Tennessee, de clares that the pension roll, which should be a roll of honor, had be come, owing to the legislation of the Republican party, a roll of dishonor. The opposition to President Har risou seems to be again centering on Mr. Blaine, and it begins to look as if the Secretary would have to write another le iter if he really does not want the Republican presidential nomidation. A bill appropriating $50,000 for the pedestal for the statue of the late Gen. W. T. Sherman has been re ported from the committee on Mili tary Affairs. Mr. McMillin, from the commit tee on Rules, reported a resolution that the hour for the meeting of the House eah day shall bell o'clock.
