SPLIT IN VIRGINIA. "Mahone and Wise can't agree, and it may be that ain unpatchupalJe split may result. TheAVise men give this version of the matter: "We agiecd to take down our elec tors at large and recognize Mahone's electors at large, as the Chicago Con vent ion recognized his delegates at i large. We alsej ' o Herod to support his electors in the First and Fourth districts where' there were no con tests, ami the electors in the Ninth and Tenth districts, wnieh both sides had already agreed upon. We insis ted, however, on our electors in the Second, Third, Filth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth districts'. This latter proposition Mahone would not agree to; he refused to withdraw his ejec tors in these districts. We will now go ahea'd and make the canvass with our own six electors in these districts ami we will call our district conven tions and make nominations for Con gress. Mahone is trying to jockey us, but we won't stand it." . This, if it just keeps up, will make easy sailing for Cleveland electors in the "Old 'Dominion,'; and every Dem ocrat in Virginia: now applauds the National Republican Convention tor the way it stirred; up the two Repub lican tactions. '-f . A1JOUT FREE AVOOL. In the debate on the "wool clause" in the tariff bill, Mr. McKinney, of New Hainpshire--the State where it is so rocky that.it becomes necessary to sharpen a sheep's mouth bttore he can pick grass made a good speech. Among! other things he epoke of the value of sheep growing for the purpose of improving poor land. There were! three profits from sheep first, from their wool ; second, from their mutton, and third, from their fertilizing properties. In the face of this the House was asked to place a high protective tariff on wool in order that the Ohio farmer might have a better profit, although he had three profits from sheep already. Would theie be less fertilizing qual- ities in sheep under free trade than under protection ? It was his hn-1 preesion that the sheep would know nothing about it, and would go on fertilizing the ground as before. He! did not think that the placing of wool on the free list would decrease the price of wool in this country, but it would secure cheaper clothes be cause it would enable American manufacturers to' compete on an equality with the foreign manufac turers. The Republicans kept prophesy ing woe and destruction to the coun try if free wool is adopted, thus dis playing their ignorance of statistics, or their willful perversity, for the facts, and figures show that the American wool-grower was more prosperous when duty was low. A DIALOGUE. The Xew York Herald has over heard a conversation between He publican Parfy and Uncle Sam. Here it is : A certain Republican Party sought and obtained an interview with our most worthy and level headed Uncle Samuel. The. gist of it is contained in the following : r. S. Well, old boy, how goes the battle? Winningly or uphilly ? R. P. Reverend uncle, we are working your name for all it is worth. It's a big racket. We are altogether a smarter crowd than the Democrats. fVS. Then you have a very de cided advantage over tlieni. R. P. We are rilling a big bar'l, to be opened in Connecticut, Indiana and Xew . Jersey. U. S. Again you have the advan tage over them. Rut tell me, my lively fossil, have the Democrats no virtues ? R. IV ()h, yes, though they can't handle a campaign as wc can. They are honest, and think they are right: IT. S. (with a sly twinkle in his eye) In that respect, my dear R, P., I should say they have a deckled ad- van tag;e over you. The light s go out suddenly. . OUK EXCHANGES. Cardinal Gibbons is in Wilming ton. He was met at the depot by a large concourse or people. Strangers who expect to take in the State Guard Encampment are beginning to appear in Wilmington. Asheville had an enthusiastic political meeting under the auspices" of the Young Men's Democratic Club, at which Gen. R. R. Vance made a big speech. High Point Enlerprise, : Monday's wind storm caused some of the limbs to break from Mr. II. C. Becini's blue gage plum trees, and iipon counting the plums' on one of the twigs, which was about a foot long, it was found to contain forty-four. New Berne Journal: A correspon dent at Jones' Bay, Pamlico county, writes that Andrew J. Jupton while outliunting shot two bears and killed one tnat measured titteen inches across the breast, was five feet long and weighed three hundred pounds. New 'Heme Journal: On Wednes day night just as the Democratic speakers had assembled on the stand, some one on the outskirts of the large crowd struck Mr. Louis (Joutier either with a stick or brick severely cutting his head, and a piece of iron was thrown from Broad street over the speaker's stand striking the door of the court house. It was a dan gerous missile, as it made, a dent in the door near a 'quarter of an inch deep. Fortunately no one on the stand knew of the deadly missile anfl the speaking proceeded undisturbed. Asheville .Sun : An alarm of fire was sounded this morning a few min utes past 1 o'clock. Officers Hamp ton and Deaver had arrested a negro named Brazzleton and locked him up a short time before for striking a man with a loaded cane. About five minutes after smoke was seen issu ing from the calaboose. It was with difficulty the negro was rescued. Officer Hampton stated that he saw the man strke a match while in the cell. The firemen responded prompt ly and extinguished the fire. When arrested Brazzleton was heavily armed. He was then locked up in the county jail. . Xewsd Observer: Mr. T: C. Harris has just added to the State Museum one of the greatest curiosities on re cord. It is a corn-cob which grew on the farm of Mr. E. J. Hill, in Duplin count, and which has grown in a shape which is the exact coun terpart of a child's hand. The end of the cob branches into five distinct prongs, each one of which corre sponds exactly to the five fingers of an infant's hand, even to the thumb, which branches out on one side 1 precisely in the location of the hu man thumb. The cob is just the size, shape and length of a tiny arm, and the whole presents a most re markable and striking likeness to the hand and arm of a baby. Potts Respited. News &. Observer. For several days past the execu tion of W. A. Potts, at Washington, which was set for yesterday, has been the subject of much interest and conversation here and especially as it was believed that the Governor would grant a respite to the con demned man if it were asked, al though a commutation of sentence had been positively refused. No reprieve was asked for, however, and it was generally understood that Potts' sentence would be carried out on the gallows yesterday, and when it began to be rumored on the streets about noon that the Governor had received a telegram from the sheriff of Beaufort county asking for a res pite and that a respite had actually been granted a considerable sensa tion was created. This was increased when it was rumored further that Potts was in a dying condition and ; that the carrying into effect of the death sentence was practically i im possible. ' On inquiry it was learned that the Governor had received the following telegram : Washington, N. C, July V, S8. To His E-reellencij Governor A. M. Potts is dying; in no condition to j be hung. Respite him for one week. Answer at once. Execution fixed for 2 p. m. R. T. Hodges, Sheriff. The Governor sent the following reply: R. T. Hothjes, Sheriff of Jieaujbrt County : I reprieve W. A. Potts, -Jr., till Tuesday, the 17th ofJuly, 1SSS. Pa pers sent by to-day's mail. A. M. Scales, Governor. When the contents of the telegram from Washington were known there were many rumors as to the cause jot" Potts' critical condition and sur mises as to whether he had attem pted suicide. The telegram lid not state what was the matter with the con demned man and it was generally supposed that suicide had been at tempted. No further intelligence was re ceived during the day, but surmise generally settled on the theory that Potts had attempted to thwart the dread fate which awaited him bvtak ing his own hie. I It will be seen that this theory was proven to be correct by the following special telegram sent to the News rf Observer last night: j SUICIDE ATTEMPTED. ; i Washington, N. C, July lo. W. ,A. Potts, Jr., who was to have been hanged here to day between the hours of 10 and 2, attempted suicide last night by taking morphine. He was found by one of the prisoners about six this morning. in an uncon scious condition. The sheriff was no tified and medical aid promptly called ih. On examination the doctor pro nounced hiin in a dying condition. In a short time, however, lie rallied and showed signs of recovery and by ten a. m. there was no doubt of his full and complete recovery. The sheriff recognized his enfeebled con dition and wired Gov. Scales for a respite until next week, to which an almost immediate reply was received granting the respite until Tuesday the 17th. Potts had written a letter to" the sheriff thanking him for his kindness and stating that he had relieved him of a painful duty ; also stating that the physicians were in no wise responsible tor his posession of the drug. Upon the reception of the respite from Gov. Scales the sheriff placed a death-watch 'over the prisoner with rigid instructions to aow him to see no one except the physicians. At this hour he is getting along finely, though he com plains of nausea and giddiness. He made no response upon being told of his respite except to ask for how long it was granted. Potts states that he took twenty-live or thirty grains of morphine, but the attend ing physicians say he could not have taken over two or three. The Encampment. i Wilmington Star. Nearly all of the arrangements for the Encampment have been com pleted, and the programme during the! "Soldier Boys'" stay in our midst will be most inviting. There will be' Germans, rowing matches, base ball games, and many other attractive features. Our city is in a most excellent sanitary condition, and Dr. F. W. Potter, Superintendent of Health, says that a thorough drainage of the xntyj will be continued until com pleted, and that the sanitary condi tion; of the public buildings is good, andj that the general cleanliness of the jstreets is better than has been in years, all of which is peculiarly grat ifying. ! i Eycry one is looking forward to next week with teelings of pleasure, and there seems to be no doubt that the Encampment will be a grand suc cess. . It is essentially necessary that our military company should present a mqst creditable appearance, but it will be impossible to do this unless the. different members can get leave of absence from their employers. This no doubt can be accomplished easily if the matter is attended to at once, tor our citizens generally are naturally proud of our company, and will not hesitate to grant any reason able request made in regard to the matter. : OUR PLATFORM. Adopted in State Convention at 1 Raleigh, May 188S. We again congratulate the people ! of North Carolina on the continued enjoyment of peace, good goverment and general prosperity under Dem ocratic administration of the affairs of the State which has now been un broken for so man' years ; upon the just and impartial enforcement of the law ; upon the increasing effi ciency of our common school system, and the progress made in popular education ; upon the improvement and enterprise ( manifested in all parts of the State. We again chal lenge a comparison between this state of things -and the outrages, crimes and scandals which attended Republican ascendancy in our bor ders. We pledge ourselves to exert in the future, as in the past, our best efforts to promote the best interests of Hhe people of; all sections of the State. Affirming bur adherence to Democratic principles as heretofore enunciated in the platforms of the party, it is hereby Resolved, That ;no government has the right to burden its people with trtxes beyond the amount required to pay its necessary expenses and gradually extinguish its public debt; and that whenever the revenues, however derived, exceed this amount, thev should be i reduced, so as to avoid a surplus; in the treasury. That any system' of taxation which necessitates the payment of a pre mium of $270 by the government on each $1, (XX) of its bonds, taken up with the million that would other wise lie idle in its vaults, and paid to bondholders " who purchased in many instances, at less than par, is undemocratic, oppressive and in iquitous and should be refunded. The course of our Democratic Rep resentatives in Congress, in their efforts to give relief to the people from burdensome internal revenue and tariff taxation, meets with the approval of the Democratic party of this State and we respectfully rec ommend that if they find it impos sible to give to our people all the relief demanded,they support any just and practical measure presen ted Un Congress that will allbrd a practical relief from such -existing burden. ' j Resolved, That while the details of the methods by which the constitu tional revenue tariff shall be grad ually reached are subjects which the representatives of our people at the national capital must be trusted to adjust, we think "the customs duties should be levied for the production of public revenue,iand the discrimi nations in their adjustment should be spcli as will place the highest rates on luxuries and the lowest on the necessaries ofi life, distribute as equally as possible the unavoidable burdens of taxation, and confer the greatest good on the greatest num ber. j Resolved, That we, as heretofore, favor, and will never cease to de mand, the unconditional abolition of the whole internal revenue system, as a war tax, not jbe be justified in times of peace ; asa grievous burden to our people and;a source of annoy ance in its practical operations. We call the attentioh of the people of the I O A A ' 'A. - Al 1 ' ' ' A' I , oune 10 me nypocnucai pretensions of the Republican party in their plat forms that they are in favor of the repeal of this onerous system of taxa tion, enacted by their party, while the Republicans in Congress are tax ing their energies to obstruct all leg islation inaugurated by the repre sentatives of the Democratic party to relieve the people of all or a part of this odious system. Resolved, That the course of the Democratic partytin furtherance of popular education, is a sufficient guarantee that wef favor he educa tion of the peoplejand we will pro mote and improve the present edu cational advantages so far as it can be done wMthout burdening the peo ple by excessive .tkxation. " . Resolved, Thatto meet an existing evil, we will accept, for educational purposes, from the Federal Govern ment our prorata shareofthe surplus in its treasury ; Provided, that it be disbursed through! State agents and the bill for the distribution be free from objectionable! features. Resolved, That; the United States being one government and ours a na tional party, we denounce the- ef forts of the Republicans to force sec tional issues in Congress and' else where, and to promote dissension and ill-will between the people of the different sections of our common country. s Resolved, That it is due to the people of our eastern counties, who have so cheerfully-borne their share of our common . burdens, that the present or some equally effective system of county government shall be maintained. f Resolved, That the Democratic party is opposed to any further ex tension of the uN6-fence" law, unless such extension shall have first been authorized by a majority of the qual ified'voters withinUhe territory to be affected thereby. Resolved, That, the i Democratic party has ever been the party of the workingman, and has never fostered monopolies, nor have "trusts" or "combinations" or "pools" ever grown up under laivs enacted i by it The contest in this country being be tween aggregated capital, seeking to crush out all competition, and the individual laborer, the Democratic party is. as it has ever been, against ua irmnnnoliet and in favor of a just distribution of capital, and de- manus me einictuicni' will bear equally upon all. Resolved, That as all taxation bears mnst heavilv unon the laborer, it is the duty of the legislator, as a direct benefit to the workingman, 10 Keep the expenses of our public institu tions at the lowest limit consistent with wise and efficient management The Democratic party opposes any competition between free and convict labor, but it insists that convicts shall not remain idle at the expense of honest labor. Resolved, That ours being an agri cultural State, it is our duty as well as our pleasure to promote any and all legislation that is best calculated to advance tne interests oi agricul ture ; and that in so doing we will most effectually advance the inter ests of mechanics, nianufacturersand laborers. ' 1 Resolved, That the Democracy of North Carolina cordially approve the administration of Hon. Alfred M. Scales as honest, patriotic and conservative. Resolved, That the ability, wisdom, honesty, patriot i.-in, independence, faithfulness to duty and manly cour age of President Cleveland have won the odmiration of all good men ; and the interests of the country demand his re-nomination and his re-election.
