How so, Governor; have you pardoned all the Democrats? r , . L I An evening paper at Raleigh says ; that the Democrats of Wake County ; start out with a vote of "51,100." ; Gosh, where will they wind up? ! ! Governor Kitchin always reads j those parts of his speeches that refer to Josephus Daniels. Wonder if they are printed on asbestos paper? Mr. J. Willum Bailey holds the urso Ftringo of the Daniels-Ualley outfit. He is eminently qualified to do so, as Locke Craig might testify. Prof. Woodrow Wrilson has been named for Governor by the New Jer sey Democrats. He will find it ouglit to be "Hardrow," and a mighty hard one at that. The blind Senator from Oklahoma is speaking to Democratic audiences in this State. It is a case of the blind leading the blind and the ditch is not far off. The Randolph Bulletin states that the financial report of the Democrat ic commissioners would "give an add ing machine the headache and make a Chinese puzzle look simple." The High Point Enterprise says that fertilizer is to be made from the air. It will probably be manu factured from foul "hot air" of some of the Democratic speakers in the State. A sure recipe to swell the popula tion of a town is to have a News and Observer reporter 'write up a Demo cratic meeting. He can see ten men where an ordinary mortal can see only one. If it cost Hoke' Smith $17,000 to get the nomination for Governor of Georgia and the Governor's salary is only $3,000 a year, how will Hoke recoup the additional thousands he put into the campaign? The Winston Journal says that Stedman will speak there soon and that Aycock will follow. Don't. take it so hard, ' brother, it might be "worse. You might have a News and Observer printed ln your town. A report of the proceedings of the Daniels-Bailey crowd In an afternoon Paper states that the Wake Demo crats' "start out with 51,100 votes." Either the census man is all wrong or else Wake County has gone Halifax. One of the Democratic Congress men from this State says "the money is coming." Now don't get so excited; he's only talking about the funds for the public buildings that the Republican-Congress gave to North Carolina, h"',l C,TIK- Chicago Han 2.1K5.2H3 f nliabiUnt -Vw Orleans Ha 339.075 OUier Towmi. j Washington, D.

This announcement leaves Chicago! ranking in population as the second city in the United States and the fourth in the worldT Chicago has almost doubled its population since 1890 when the flg- by 2,581,550. Chicago, however, can claim dis tinction in having jumped from sixth to fourth place among the big cities on the globe. It is following close upon the heels' of Paris, whose popu lation by its last census, In 1901, was 2,714,0CS. Chicago take3 precedence yer Tokio a,nd Bfer1 by .T gins. According to the census taken Jn each of tne two cities in 1908p Tokio had 2,085,160 and Berlin had 2,040,148. The population of New Orleans is 339,075, an increase of 51,91 or 18.1 per cent, as compared with 287,104 in 1909. While New Orleans' growth during the past decade was only slightly be low her percentage of increase of the previous decade, the Crescent city, through the more rapid growth ot other cjtjes n the 100,000 class, haa lost its position of twelfth in the list of the country's biggest cities, and now occupies fifteenth position. De- troit, with a C3 per cent increase, Mnwaukee, with 31 per cent, and Newark, N. J., with 41.2 per cent, have all jumped ahead of New Or leans in the number of inhabitants and now occupy 11th, 13th and 14th positions respectively. Holyoke, Mass., has 57,730 peo hle, an Increase of 12,018 or 26.3 per cent, as compared with 45,712 in 1900.

The conTentiou as marked by the utmost harmony and was enthusiastic to the hibei degree. There was no going back ward, every one was out to win and what was more remarkable in a polit ical convention, every one seemed pleased ltb the ticket. The convention was called to or der by Permanent Chairman A. I). Upchurcb, who announced that the ; first nominations would be for mexu- bers of the lower houte of the Gen eral Asembly.
