Thf following report of the Greens-
l0ro nutting is taken from the Char
joltf. observer of last Thursday:
Vh,' oassage of a resolution reny
nr to delegates who will not pledge

K,Publiean party and platform adopt
i at Chicago the privilege of partic-
n,tinn in the coming State conven
.!nn and selection of Charlotte as the
and September 4 as the time
for holding the State Republican Con
vention, formed the featurea of
thrn-hours public session of the
state executive held here this after-
non.
Chairman John M. Moreehad pre
idwi and in response to a cordial in
vitation by him that all Republicans
meet with the committee and ex
fhanire Ideas and suggest plans for
confronting the present crisis, a rep-
f mrr than 180 was
-
present. Taft supporters were in the
majority, but here and there was a
Roofleveltlan and it was due to this
that the session of todaj was not en
tirely harmonious.
The whole discussion was based on
the passage of the resolution which
in effect binds all delegates who par
ticipate In the State convention to
support the national ticket. This
waa offered by Dr. J. J. Mott, a vet
eran of many political storms and
d almost immediately he
wa3 In the midst of a veritable "Bull
Mooso" stampede. The Mott resolu
tion, as later adopted without the
changing of a sentence was:
Resolution Adopted.
Resolvod, That a Republican State
convention is hereby called to meet
in the city of Charlotte on the 4th
day of September, 1912, at 12 o'clock
m.. for the purpose of nominating
presidential electors for the State at
large. Governor and other State of
ficers, two Corporation Commission
ers, and nominate candidates to fill
any other office that may be, or be
come vacant for which nominations
should be made or ratified by the
State convention, election a Republi
sage of the resolution by unanimous i
vote. !
The committee made a ruling to j
the effect that in counties ana pre-1

committee, the Republicans of such j

ing delegates to the State convention
in rnmnliance with the resolutions
adopted, then the Republicans of
such county will organize ana send
delegates to the sexeral conventions
who are in accord with the Republi
can party.
Settle For Governor.
That the Charlotte convention will
name Thomas Settle for Governor
was the general belief. They declare
that the distinguished Buncombe
man, the pet of his party in the State,
will be made the standard bearer and
that full amends will be made for the
treatment accorded him at the Ral
eigh convention. It waa evident that
there was a strong fear that witnoui
the nassage of drastic rules govern
ing the eligibility of delegates the
Roosevelt followers wouia swoop
down upon the Charlotte convention
and control it.

The declaration of Col. W. S. Pear
son, referred to above, is contained
in the following, which is taken from
the Greensboro News of Sunday:

that the Russians an Austriana made
a quick run for safety. The Uft wing
ov the allied army upon which so
much depended wuz cut to pieces. Ov
this battle Savary, a military author
ity, said: "It waa a aerie of mili
tary manoeuvre, not one of which
failed, that cut the Russian army,
surprised In a side march. Into as
many portions az columns were di
rected against It."
The battle ov AusterllU wuz foK
owed, on the 4th ov Dec em bar by
an interview between Napoleon and
Francis II. an' an armistice was con
cluded on the Cth. By the treaty ov
peace which followed at once, signed
by Talleyrand. Prince John of LJUk-
ecateln an' Count Stadlon, Austria
yielded to Italy (though Napoleon
wuz ruler ov France), lis entire Ve
netian possessions, the Tyrol an' sev
eral German sections to Bavaria; "
Breisgan to Baden; an other Saablaa
possessions to Wlrtemburg. She awl
so agreed to recognize the elector (a
deputy ruler) ov Bavoria an WiaUra-
burg az Kings. There were other lit
tle pickings uktn In by France at the
same time. Just why France bled
Austria so freely does not appear.
though the reason Russia escaped
apyin an Indemnity wuz probably
due to the fact that hit wus really
Austria's war an' Russia had nothin
to lose In the war except prestige.
But ahe lost enough ov that In the
battle ov Austerllts, for Bonaparte
certain spread defeat on thick
enough. But while this victory on
land wuz a great one, for France, she
suffered a bad naval defeat on water
about the same moment, for Admiral
Nelson of the English navy totally
defeated the combined Sects ov
France and Spain off the coast ov
Cape Trafalgar on the 21st ov Octo
ber, just previous to the defeat ov
Russia an' Austria on land. If Franoe
had owned a powerful navy with a
Bonaparte In command, she mite hev
defied the earth at that date.
On the 15th ov December Bona
parte concluded a treaty with Prussia
and the alliance between that country
an' France wuz renewed, such a con
tract havln' been in existence for a
number ov years. In thla deal Fiance
pretended to give Hanover to Prus
sia; an' on the other band Prussia ac
tually gave Auzpach, Cleve an Ken
fachel to France. The real object be
hind thla wuz to aave Prussia from
the clutches ov England, for that
country hid shown a disposition to
invade Prussia through the North
Sea. England had recently failed to
get North America an' wuz lookin'
around on the other side for some
country which could be whipped eas
ier, an' had selected Prussia. But
Napoleon blocked that game by the
alliance with Prussia.
In 1806 the ancient German em
pire which had stood for a thousand
years wuz overthrown In order to
