Our primary lechonon Saturday evening was probably the largest eyer held at this place. fr. Turner the chairtftan, aftf-r calling the meet ing to order, explained in terse lan guage the object of the meeting. It was an elction, he said in ' which he thought none should participate ex cept those democrats who would pledge themselves to support th State and national platforms to be adopted in the future and the nomi nees of the party. The chairmmen was then asked, should we stand by the nominee, let him be good or bad, "yes, g0l or bad says the chair man. It was clear from the start that our chairman deploved the situ ation. Rpein? that almost the entire body of the one hundred democrats. were bitterly averse to making, what seemed to them, sucn arimconsisttSt and unlemocrSlic pledge. "Inhere were$jn tins assemblage or over a hundred people, about thirteen, who nestled clode by thespeaker s sLfid, cratic neighbors and frfenis who woul(f nofc tae the ilIroft clad C;lth s btfore melPtioned. Almost a do4- en motions and seconds '"ware made that the conveufion proceed in the LauaT wav and Pet? through .wkh the j o i-i - m election of delegates, but in the din 6f boisterous discussion and tumult the motions failed to reach the ears of the speak'er and it was two hours I -W I i ill late wnen tne convention got to tne election of delegates. We should not resort to personalities to appease our wrath in a political meeting. I do not believe it is. politic anil I'm sure its ungenerous, especially .in a meeting of neighbors and friends. Strong insenuations were hurled at the allia'nce democrats, that they. were adherents of "The Third Tarty." whatever that may be, and i iu view of the alarming contingency of tlie political situation" it had be come necessary to . exact of every ... . democrat an uncftnditional promise to keep perpetuate the democratic party even if it should involve the peril of individual happinecs and prosj erity. That there is a most furious war fare 'brewing between Alliance democrats and non Allianee' democrats, there can be no doubt, and how unjust. Alliancemen iu many cases are to blame for ' this revulsion of feeling between demo cpat and democrat, but more often ifr is the case, we fear; that tliese eruptive forces are brought into ex istence from pure, downright ignor ance on tlje part of many of our assailants, for the want of a better under standing of the cardinal prin ciples of the Alliance. Some seem to believe that the Alliance seeks to pervert, destroy and tear down our institutions of moral, intellect nal, and financial progress, while the opposite is the case. I f eel per fectly sure'that there is an unneces sary apprehension hanging over the heads of'some.of our good, loyal democratic brethren,. If a man un dergoes a Cjhange politically j .be coming an Allanceman it is only to solidify him more and more in thel ; irue uoctnnea oi democracy. i i . j . e i t inereiore, wny exnioic Eucn tangible mnd distressing nroof of a lack of confidence in your brother democrat simply because he s a member of an Alliance. Our pri maries are small jfUairs when corn pared with larger elecffoif3. It is only by Comparison that any thing is great or but "straws show which way the wind haih frSm," a$d o it ha3 prov'en in our township elec tion. After seeing the inevitable defeat to which they were destined, the minority squad gave way like good boys and allowed .the meeting to proceed with harmony and dis patch. Following are the delegates, elec ted unanimously ; for "the little band had knocked every bit of the wind out of their sales trving to blow out the flames of "The Third party," so when the vote was taken they would not vote pro nor con : 3 L Klutts, Alex.

To the Voters of fiorth Carolina : At a meotjnir of the Democratic Ex- ecutive Commit U e, held in tm city on the 2d hfit., it whs resolved that the next State Convention should he held in the city of Uuioiau cji the 18th day of Jlay, 1892, at 11 o'clock a.m. It will devolve on this Convention to rnominato candidates for Governor, Lieu tenant Governor, Secretary of State, At torney 'General, Auditor, Treasurer and Superintendent of Public Instruction ; to elect four delegates at lannvand our al- termites to the National De.ioeralic Con vention lobe held at Chicago Juno 22 1802; to nominate two candid-atcs for Elector's at Large; to adopt a platform of principles, and to trailsact t:uch otlier business as may properly come- before it. In all cases where tho Conreniimal Conventions have not been held previous ly, the delegates to this Convention from f;ach Congressional District will choose two delegates and two alternates to the National Democratic Convention, and rc yo ;: Ihrih autr. to tie l Ue Con ei. tion, ' Tlire has been for some time a firm.jr rooted idea among the people that some system should be adopted by which min orities in the various counties should have their proportionate voice in thts State and District Conventions, and, in deference to this fair and just sentiment, the Committee, while realizing that it had no power to add to or vary the "Plan of Organization," as adopted by the last State Convention; and bind the people to. Its observae'e, unanimously recom mended to all County Conventions the following rule, and earnestly requests that it be observed, "In all County Conventions in which delegates shall be selected to attend any Stat Congressional. Judicial or other Convention, a vote shall be taken in ac cordance with the plan of organization as to the candidates whose names may be presented to such County Cont ention. The delegates shall be selected from the friends and supporters of each cafldidate voted for in proportion to the number of votes he shSll receive, in such County Convention, and'no other instructions shall be given. Provided tlcat 'where onlyW;candidate Is presented and vot ed for at mch . County Convention It shall be lawful to Instruct for such can-, didate." , . . Jt is urged that all county conventions shall, at the same time they select dele gates to this convention, elect a cjunty committee to serve during the coming campaign. Tfus acton Is essential to perfect organization, fcndenables tfie Chairman of the State committee to at oi'e put himself in touch with the coun ty chairmen. All township and county conventions should lf held at such times and places as w afford to each member of the par ty an opportunity for full and fair dis cussion. It i3 essential to success that animosities .should not be engendered al dissejsion fgsteftd and one should be given even the semblance of an excuse for refusing to support the Deifc) cratic party, the supremacy of which is y) necessary to secure good government and an honest administration of public affairs.
