SCALES at DURHAM Siiice thej Gubernatorial canvass opened at Newton we JiaVe had vary ing reports from the joint (discussions of tlie candidates but far the greater portion of all that has been written is a laudation of Gen. Scales and the circulation of reports of York's "utter incompetency, lack of dignity, ability and honesty' wound uii with the "skinning" V York &c. Now pi York appeared upon the platform at Durham without scratch pr scar after havincr tussled with Scales, Jarvis Vance, Morehead and Scales again toed the line promptlv at the h( ! lieut.-cjovernor: WILLIAM T.

Scales is still suffering from his late injury and delivered part of his speeel while sitting: when he desired to put in an extra amount of vim he rose to his feet and used his stick to point to ward I heaven as the source of such help as! his party and himself needed.

Scales opened the discussion w'lth his unbounded love- for Korth Caro lina but hurrying on, at the end of an hour and a half had reviewed York's public record and so misstated his pub lic acts! as to give the impression that 2nd York had nojsympathy for anything meritorious in any measurjej no mat ing ng.
