. Messenger Bureau, )
Raleigh. August 2. s
All the proceedings of the Populist State
convention and jof the Republican con
ference here were of unusual interest.
Your correspondent's constant aim was to
get "in the inside," as to news, and stay
there. Your reader knew twenty-four
hours ahead about what would be done.
The Populists are very proud of their
convention. Indeed it was the beet they
have ever held. The one two years ago
was nothing less than a broad farce.
Yesterday Marion Butler was the master-hand.
If a storm threatened ! he
stilled it with a word. He spoke always
with force. He is a fine chairman. H.
G. Ewart, one j of the Republican
"friends" who was sitting on the stage
looking with pleased interest at the pro
ceedings, said that he wished the Repub
licans had such a i chairman who could
control so thoroughly. Indeed Butler
had the air, and almost used the words
of a master. i " .
A queer remark was made on the stage,
"and this was of course an "aside." It
was that whatever little contentions
there, were in the convention, and there
were few,' had been prearranged, for ef
fect, the platform having been printed
some days ago, and the ticket for the
Supreme court having been arranged
evidently a fortnight ago. A dispute
would start, a doubt be raised, just
enough to lead a casual onlooker to think
there is no "machine" in this, when Jo
and behold at a word the prepared plans
were pushed through without dissent.;
It was the plan up to yesterday morn
ing to nominate Professor John Graham
for State treasurer, but then a change
was made and Mr. W. H. Worth was put
up, Professor ,' Graham being compli
mented with the permanent chairman
ship. , - "'
Did not the dozen of Republicans who
sat on the stage, (all save Lusk in the
rear, he at the ' very front) know just
what was going to be done, almost to the
minutest detail? It looks as if they did.
Lusk, always a serious .man, seemed a
stranger to a smile, and Richmond Pear
son, who if reports be true,has an "army
contract" on his hands in the Ninth dis
trict, was by no means blithesome. , But
the other Republicans were joyous. C.
M. Bernard, of Greenville, a great
f usionist, was almost boylike in his joy
ousness. "
"What a fine convention, what fine
management," said one Republican.
"This- body of men represents 65,000
votes," said H. G. Ewart. Ju9t as he
said this "Buck Kitchin" was pleading
for a pure election law. Ewart said
''what a hell of a parady on justice
KitO111 fumg for a fair election
law!"
-fZHr-hin nut a nian in nomination. A
tall fellow in the gaLry etooa up and
cried out: "Good Lord ie mercy'
Kiuihin'a sails flapped.
Th" Fere a lew of the few humors o.
the convention. mc-liovernor ,uurti3
H. Broaden eu.'ogized the nominations
of Faircloh and Furches. "Who is it
'speaking,' " asked a dozen persons wnen
the old ex Governor began to taur, so
boon are men forgotten.
The amount of matter was so great
last night that your correspondent could
not send it all by wire.
The convention handled the county
government matter gingerly. You were
last night told why the line of action
was agreed on at the Kepublican-ropu-
hst conference. ! Here is the pianK in
the platform which covers this matter: i
We condemn the election metnpas
resorted to in certain counties and pre
cincts of other counties in the election of
1892, concocted and executed by the
Democratic machine of the btate, by
which thousands of citizens who had
voted for years under the same registra
tion were deprived of their suffrage, by
which ballots of the People s party, after
being delivered to poll holders to be
properly deposited were destroyed! in
bull pens and other dark hole voting
places, and ballots for the Democratic
party were suostitutea; Dy wmcn
false returns were made; by which
countv canvassing boards, with auto
cratic Dower, threw out many townships
which gave ma3onties for tne .reopie s
party, to such an extent as to put in
power a minority party. Such a party
is unht to govern. &ucn a parry is an
irresponsible despotism bottomed on
fraud, and all good citizens should
strive to defeat and' crusn it. we
favor such char) ares in our present elec
tion law and election machinery as will
take from the party in power the abso
lute control of the suffrages of all of our
people, i We condemn the Democratic
oartv for abusing this high and sacred
trust by perverting the will of tne people
and polluting the springs oi our iiDerty
for sordid and selhsn earn, ana to tnac
end, striving to make political hench
men under the county government sys
tern of such important officers as county
commissioners and justices of the peace;
who should respect tne wisnes oi tne
people and be as pure in character and
as non partisan in action as any officer
clothed in judical ermine. Therefore
"Resolved, That every man, white or
black, must have free access to the ballot
box. His vote must be received, it must
he counted. correct returns must be
made and the man who has the majority,
if it is only one vote, must be inducted
into office and exercise its functions, or
this Government cannot endure,

I wt- nrfttion with the People's party
I ar9 COUld be obtained on grounds
fair and just alike to both parties. The
same opinion was expressed by all the
gentlemen who were present and took
part in the consultation aud conference.
And in conformity with this gen
eral opinion, and after an interchange-
of views, with leading
Populists a conference was had with the
delegates to the People's party State con-
VOTitimi then floaomKla in t.Kiia ratrtr
T?hat conference developed the fact that
the Populists were ready and willing to
co-operate with the Republicans in every
honorable way, and on terms ' of honor
and fairness in order to element into one
solid opposition to the Democracy the
opposing elements against that party as
exists in the members of the Republican
arid People's parties.
"Not intending and not having the
authority to bind j the Republican party
or any one save themselves as individu
als, nothing was done by those present
to forestall the action of the Republican
State convention in any way.
"Having ascertained that co-operation
can be had with the Populists so as to
present but one candidate for each office
to'bevvoted for against the Democratic
nominees, we urge the Republicans in
their various counties and districts not
to make nominations for any office
whatever until after the action of the
Republican State convention shall have
been had on the 30th of this month.
"Being satisfied that the State can be
easily wrested from the Democrats by a
union of the forces of the Republican
and People's parties, we earnestly .urge
the Republicans of the various counties
who are in fayor Of the co-operation of
the two parties for this purpose, t o use
every effort to have their several county
conventions elect delegates to the State
convention who firmly favor this line of
policy for this campaign.
The committee then quotes tho Popu
list resolutioniregarding justices and say:
-This resolution is in conformity to
Republican precedent as exists in this
State by the nomination of Judges Pear
son, Reade and Mitchell in 1868, who in
turn were nominated by the Democratic
party. The same precedent exists in the
Republican party.of other States notably
in gNew York the intention being al
ways to remove the judges from the con
tamination of partisan politics. There
fore, for this reason, we urge the Re
publicans of the various counties to elect
delegates to the Republican State . con
vention who will vote to adopt this reso
lution. ,
"The paramount object being to se
cure the enactment of an election law
that will secure to the white and colored
voters equally and to the same extent, a
free registration, compel a fair vote and
force a count of the votes as cast.
"This address is issued by authority
and dirtction of the foregoing Republi
cans in conference assembled."
What will the mass of Republicans do?
Will they endorsa what tne Populists
have done? Some Republicans say yes;
some say no. Pearsou evidently think
it doubtful. Eaves has many friends.
Pearson says ten of the committee were
here. The list shows nine. Z. V. Wal
ser left Tuesday. He was evidently not
in line with the "anti-Eaves movement;
that i, he did not want to in any way,
forestall the action of the State convtn-"
tion of his party. So he refused to act
at all as a committeeman.
Maj.-Rufus 'S. Tucker, of this city, is
stricken by paralysis. rHis attack is of
the left side, and he is said to be much

An Orderly Tillman-Butler Meeting.
. Charleston, S. C, Aug. 2L A special
to the News, and Courier from Greenville
says: Greenville had a model political
meeting to day. Everything was con
ducted in a most commendable and im
partial manner. Greenville gave a hear
ing to all the speakers. What was said
did not always seem to j please the
boys, but nothing was done about it.
The crowds seemed to be collected and
formal most of the day. Even Governor
Tillman did not get the rousing i rever
berating cheering to. which he ia accus
tomed. Altogether, it was an uneventful
meeting" except perhaps for tiie unanim
ity of the Governor's friends in their
expressions; of confidence in his leader
ship. The crowd was somewhat divided,
although Governor Tillman had a clear
majority of those present. Gen. Butler's
menus, nowever, declare tney will cer
tamiy carry the county.

A Singular Strike,
New York;, Aug. 3 -Shortly before
noon to-day the men employed at tbe
One Hundred and Thirty-Fourth street
grammar school 'struck. The men are
mostly painters and carpenters and their
grievance is that, although! they are
union men, j they do not receive union
wages. Since that time the j men em ployed
in several of the schools in the
same locality have gone 6n a strike.' The
strike is expending down town and it is
thought that work will be generally sus
pended on the New York public schools

ury Note in Circulation
Progress in the Tariff
Conference.
Wasbtkgton, Aug. 2. The treasury
circulation statement issued to-day
places the per capita circulation at
$24.19, a decrease of 14 cents per capita
during July or of $6,486,993. The gold
reserve in1 the treasury was reduced to
day to $52,482,000 by the further engage
ment at New York for export Saturday
of $1,250,000 in' gold for Europe and
$50,000 for shipment to Canada.
The most dangerous counterfeit of
United States money discovered for
years is announced from the Treasury De
partment to-day. Because it is so diffi
cult of detection from the genuine! note
the counterfeit is described in minute de
tail by the secret service in order to put
the public upon its guard. The coun
terfeit is of the $10 legal tender
note, series of 1830, check letter frB,"
face plate number 2250, back piste num
ber, 2292, signed by W. S. Rosecrans,
register, James W. Hyatt, treasurerj and
bearing a portrait of Webster and a
large round red seal. 1
When the tariff conference broke up
this afternoon the ' House members! re
ported to their friends that substantial
progress was being made, but, as usual,
declined to state in what x particulars.
One of the House conferees said to-day
that an agreement on coal, iron ore and
sugar would certainly be reached either
Saturday or Monday next. One of the
Senate conferees said that the bill is now
in such shape that an agreement can be
reached very speedily if the House
wishes it, or the whole bill may be de
feated if the House insists upon it
The House caucus is off for the present.
Mr. Holman stated to-day that so long
as the conferees report substantial pro
gress in the settlement of t&eir differ
ences, there is no necessity for the call.
A caucus will be held only when it is ap
parent that the representatives of the
two Houses are in a deadlock which can
only be broken by instructing the House
conferees as to their duty in the matter.

THE JODICIAL CONVENTION.
N. A.. McLean, Esq, Nominated for
Solicitor of the 8eyenth District on j
the;427th.:Ballot. r
Fayetteville Observer. 1
The convention reassembled at 9 .'clock1
this morning and balloted continuously
until 11:30. After a recess of half an
hour, ballotihgwas resumed, i Messrs.
Douglas and Lyon being withdrawn,
after two or three ballots, that is, upon
the 426th ballot, Mr. Robinson, at request
of Mr. Cook, withdrew the latter's-name.
The 427th ballot was tb,en cast, as fol
lows: Lewis, Tlj McLean, 197. ;
Upon the announcement of the result,
Mr. McLean was waited upon by a com
mittee who brought him to the halt.
when he expressed his sense of the honor
done him in a happy speech. The de- '
feated candidates were waited upon in
like manner, and responded in the best
vein Messrs, Lyon, Cook. Lewis, haw
and Douglas pledging hir warmest
support to the nominee, who will poll
tho full Democratic strength of the dis
trict, which is in good shape.
Theonvention then adjourned amid
the best of feeling; 1 , -
It may be added that while all are sat
isfied with the selection made, it was the
general expression that the candidates
were all men of high order, and no mis
take would have been made in the choice
of either. Indeed, it may also be added,
finally, that seldom has as fine a body "of
delegates assembled in any' convention,
and they had a chairman worthy of
them in Mr. Little. ;
Mr. N. A. McLean, the nominee of the
convention, is a son 'of N. A. McLean,
Sr. , deceased literally,' the worthy son
of a noble sire. He s a gentleman of
unvarying courtesy, and is beloved by
all classes, colors and conditions in his
native county of Robeson. He is about
36 years of age. He I was prepared for
college at the famous Bingham school,
and then attended the university. He ia
married, and has, wer believe, four or
five children. He baa represented his
county in the Senate, and has been for
several years chairman of the Executive
committee of Robeson.
Mr. McLean is a man of fine intellect,
is considered one of the beat young law-
ers in the State, and is astrong and effect
ive stump speakei . The banner of Dem
ocracy will be safe in his hands. It
would have been hardly possible to make
abetter selection. - '
The following Executive committee
was elected yesterday:
Anson, K. 12. Little; Bladen, C. M.
McLean; B.runswick, Dr. D. B. McNeill;
Columbus, J. B. Schulkenj Cumberland,
N. A. Sinclair; Moore, J. C. Black; Rich
mond, Cameron Morrison; Robeson, T.
A. McNeill.
- Pull Together.
Wilmington, N. C, Aug. 2.
Editor Messenger : i
' However much DravGrats in their re
spective counties may differ upon local
matters, when they go , to conventions
with a candidate tor an office they must
null together and wor$c together, leaving
all factional disputes and differences at
home. For in union there is strength.
An example of such concerted action
is shown in the case of Mecklenburg
county. She has her differences at home,
but when her representatives go abroad,
they work for Mecklenburg, and as a re
$ulc at one' time very recently that
county had a 0nited States Senator,
Supreme court judge, a member of Con
gress and the Attorney General. :
Wayne county now has a judge, two
asylums with their numerous appointees,
and the United States District Attorney.
My old home, Wilson county, has had
her internal distentions, but when she
presses the claims of her sons abroad she
accomplishes that which ehe seeks; and
Judge Connor and Hons. Fred Woodard
and John Woodard are the result of her
unity, and mark me Judge Connor will
yet represent Wilson in a higher
capacity.'
Moral: Democrats of New Hanover
be united, not only at your home bat
abroad. Bury your hatchets, sheathe
your 8 words, pool your differences, get
together and let us give the Democratic
ticket 2,000 majority in the coming elec
tion. A NEW-COMER.
