YORK and! 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

appointed time and charme.d his friends

of charming political discussion. Gen.
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.

preferred to have remained in his pres

inated by the conventions of the Lib
eral Democrats! and Republicans he.
accepted their nominations not till he
had received thousands of letters urg-
Ing his acceptance and had satisfied
limself that the people desired him
to make the race. Then he gave forth
lis assent to the platforms of these
two parties and upon
he stood squarely and;
vation. In his letter of acceptance he
iad indorsed the Chicago , platform
and the nomination of Blaine and
ogan. He opened the political sub-
ect by forcing the tariff to the front
at once as the ereat National issue.
