While the sentiment of the demo cratic national convention was clearly opposed to Mr. Bryan and his ideas he seems to have had much influence with the committee on resolutions and plat form. He carried , his point in more than "one instance -in so far at least - as to force the other side to abandon fits " -wishes in the . forming of certain planks and to make 'a compromise. It ia true he gave in to some extent to the fishes of the majority, but he prevent ed its carrying out its ideas on one or more points. The platfrom as finally drafted and adopted was a compromise measure in several particulars, espe- , cially as regards the financial question. " The members of the convention realiz- - ed that no financial plank could be sug gested that would suit -all factions; so '.they decided to say nothing on this subject. . We think it would have been better to retain the plank as reported by the sub-committee. The striking out of all reference to "this question was ia concession to Mr. "Bryan which we do not relish. It is true that Mr. Bryan in giving up his contention also made concession, but iwe think that as the majority of the committee and the larger part of the convention were in favor of a de claration along the Jine of the plank proposed the minority should have been required to give in to the majority. But, perhaps, it was better to go this tfar in placating the' Bryan element in cthe party. The idea was to conciliate all factions in hte party: and with this Idea in view, we suppose the conven- . did the--best thing for the party. Tt may seem - presumptuous in us to express an opinion differing from that of the great party leaders who framed the -platform and nominated the ticket, shut we cannot help-feeling that had the convention nominated Messrs. Cleveland and Williams and given them Sound money plank in the platform to stand upon nothing could have prevent ed their election. These two men on Buch a platform would have swept the country. Mr. Williams as second man on the -ticket would have insured for 5t the electoral vote of every southern etate and ,Mr. Cleveland's popularity with the business interests of the north, to say nothing of his popularity at the south, would have carried enough of tne states or that section to insure"-! democratic success.- We are not mak ing objections to Mr. Parker's nomina tion. We are satisfied that under the circumstances he is the best man the convention could have nominated. What we mean to say is simply that in1 our opinion the other ticket would have been the stronger before the jeo- The Messenger is not opposed to Judge Parker and was not against his nomination before the meeting of the ; convention. In fact, this paper some time ugo advocated hh nominatioa as jthe surest" way out of -the difficulties ; which confronted the party by rea.son tof the conflicting party interests and the partisan differences. As far back as March 29th The Messenger, realiz ing the danger to the party from the factional animosities within it - edi torially advocated the coming together .of the different cliques and factions in the party and the nomination of some Ana.n on whom. "all could agree not ex actly a compromise candidate, but a man . of such broad and conservative iviews that he could be considered the representative of all members of the party From that time up to the meet ing of the convetion The Messenger has repeatedly declared its opinion to 3e that Judge Parker was, under ex isting circumstances, the most availa ble man the democrats could nominate and has urged the party to unite on him. We do not claim to be- the orig inal Parker man. but from the time his name began to be urged for the nomi nation The Messenger has been a strong and persistent advocate of such action by the convention. As far back as April 3rd The Messenger declared that indications pointed so otrongly to Judge Parker's nomination that it predicted, that he would be the party's standard bearer, "While the. money question is ot the important issue it -was four and eight years ago, we do not think that it should have been entirely ignored by the democratic convention; but it many be well that such course was pur sued as"?it was impossible for the two factions-to agree upon what the decla ration should be. - As the matter now stands, Judge Par Parker is at liberty should he see fit, to do so, to announce in his letter of jiitcsspiinp acceptance "of the nomination his views on the question. The platform having ignored the question, and there being no party declaration on the sub subject, he has the right to declare his views, and "-we are sure they willbe in accord -with the sentiments of a large majority of the party. Such an an nouncement by him will be almost equivalent to a declaration in the party platform. " DOUBLE DAILY SERVICE OX TILE CAROLINA CENTRAL. With tomorrow moring the Seaboard Air Line begins a double daily passen ger service between this city and Ham let. As has been announced in the local columns of The Messenger, there will be on and after tomorrow-two pas senger trains out of and into Wilming ton on the Carolina Central railroad. One train will leave the city early in the morning, returning late at night. The other will arrive about noon and leave in the middle of the afternoon. The first mentioned is the new train which goes on tomorrow. This will he a great convenience to the business men of our city and to the traveling public. We believe this is the iflrst time in the his tory of our city that a person can go to the capital of our state, spend sev eral hoursthere and return to his home on the same day. We are firmly con vinced that this new schedule will greatly increase the freight business of the Carolina Central railroad along its line between' Wilmington and Hamlet. It will give the wholesale merchants such an opportunity to come in closer contact with the business men of the towns along the route that their busi ness will be greatly increased. Tne railroad authorities will soon -find that this is one of the 'best paying invest ments tney nave maae. ivve Deneve that in a short time this train will be come so popular that its nassensrer fare will pay the expenses of r.unning and in addition to this increase pf freight traffic out of our city., because of its establishment will add greatly to the revenues of the company. When the movement was first made by the chamber of commerce, backed up by The-Messenger, to secure this ad ditional passenger service many people in the town said the attempt would prove a failure. They threw cold water on every effort the business men ?nd ? the paper made to secure the much needed train: 'We were told that we had as well let the matter alone, that we would not succeed. We were not discouraged though. We had good, earnest wortcers at the head of the exchange who were aiding us in the matter. We felt sure that if we could once get the railroad authorities to see the matter in its true light we would win the victory. To the indefatigable energy and persistent hammering of j KMr. J. Allen Taylor and his committee: of. the exchange the people of Wilming-' ton are indebted for this very impor tant improvements in the . passenger j train service of this road. We are in a position to know, and do know that Mr. Taylor has labored faithfully in this matter and -we congratulate him that his Iahor has been crowned w'V success. Tne business men of our city owe him a debt of gratitude for what1 , ... 7 . . , ' xie ns accumpiisiiea against wnax at first seemed insurmountable difficul- : ties. S wnat it coum ao ior our city m brine-- ing about this new and much desired J condition in our passenger service it : has done. We .do not claim much credit j to ourselves, at the some time we ac- knowledge with true appreciation the kind words President Taylor has ut tered regarding the efforts we have made in behalf of the business inter ests of our city. To two men more than to any others is due the credit for having secured this additional train. One of these is Mr. Taylor, of whose labors, we have already spoken. The other is Mr. Hud son, the superintendent of this division of the seaboard Air Line. He seemsVo have from the first recognized the fact that we were entitled to better train service and to an improvement of our ! terminal f aoUitiae a n r? c TiTanf- r work to secure them for us. He has ; carried his point and the business men of Wilmington and the towns along ; the line of the road are due him a vote ! of thanks and in their behalf The Mes- ' senger here tenders them to him.

In this respect as well as in all other things, Wilmington is one of the fortunate cities of the country. fWehad not a single accident on the national holiday, though there were crowds assembled at the two seashore resorts. It is re markable that we escaped entirely in this respect. This fact shows what careful management there is on the ; part of the men in charge of the sub- ban raihoad and of the steamboat lines. ?om"i caie?anf ' Aei J!S - , jMay 19th, 1904, a dividend of two and These handled hundreds of people that one-half per cent, was declared on day and It is wonderful what good the Common Capital Stock of that order was preserved and that there was ' Company," payable at the office of the .

When the face is reddened by eruptions, when boils break" out on the body, or the angry red of sores and ulcers is displayed in the flesh, it is nature's danger sitmal. The blood is obstructed and tainted by impurities, and there can be no safety until the blood is made pure. Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery purifies the blood, and removes the effete matterwhich clogs and corrupts it. It cures pim ples, boils, eczema, scrofula, sores, ulcers and other consequences of impure blood. "I feel greatly thankful for "what your medicine has done fbjr me," writes Mrs. Chas. Hood, of Kalkaska, Midi. I Buf fered with scrofula of the head for twelve years. Tried every kind of medicine that I heard of but found no cure. Every one that looked at my head said they never aw anything: like it.; The last doctor I doctored with before applying to yon I got worse every day. Was so miserable that I was unable to do anyl work at all. After taking- tw&or three bottles of your 'Golden Medical Discovery and using: the local treatment you prescribed for me, I was cured and my head was entirely free from scrofula." Accept no substitute for Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. There is no other medicine which is n just as good " for diseases of the blood ana the eruptions which are caused by the blood's impurity. FREE.

N.Y. - - GOOD PRESS SERVICE.; The Associated Press has done won derful work in keeping the readers of the newspapers posted as to the pro ceedings of the .St. Louis convention. 'Besides the regular press news it has furnished bulletins of the progress of the convention. Mr. Theodore tRunge, the obliging and efficient press opera tor at this end of the line, is entitled to the thanks of The Messenger and of its readers for the able manner in which he has served the convention news to us. Besides taking bulletins in the day he was at his instrument Friday night from 6 o'clock until 7 o'clock the next morning. He1 handled thirty seven thousand words for us in that time. A' person unacquainted with this kind of work cannot realize what a physical and mental strain such a night's work is. The (Messenger wishes to make its grateful acknowledgements to tMr. , Runge and to the managers of the Associated 4Press for the splendid service they have given us since the meeting of the St. Louis convention Melville Stone, general manager of the Associated (Press, last night sent out the following general order: 'Before the .close of the convention I desire to thank every gentleman in the service of the Associated Press for the exceptional work done during the past week. "First.

The sentiment for him is growing with wonderful ra pidity. Unless something happens be fore the convention meets to turn the tide against him he will be nominated. IWell,. if. he is The Messenger will have no kick coming." On April, 16th The Messenger again said: "The democrats have found their man. They are going to nominate Judge Parker, and, what is better, they are going to elect him." The first part of the prediction has come true; why not the second also? policeman; east jailed. Will Stand Trial in October for Set- eine Fire to a Tobacco Warehouse. (Sfoecial to The Messenger.) Florence, S. C, July 8. Policeman Samuel J. East, of this city, who was arrested yesterday upon a, warrant is sued by Comptroller General Jones, charging him (East) with the burn ing of the Pee Dee Tobacco Ware house in this city on the night of April 28th last, was given a.

Wilmington; N. C, June 30, 1904. Office of the Treasurer, Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co. At a meetinsr of the Board of Direct- ors of Atlantic Coast Line Railroad ! m wm V By t!e Kicker The Fearless Editor Gives His Views on. the Latest Work of Authors. E have received from the publishers a volume en titled "Stray Thoughts' It is rightly named at least. The author's thoughts stray from Del aware to South Africa in the most law less manner, and his mind is continual ly wabbling from pumpkin pie to a government clerkship. Says the author of the book "An JEasterner In the West:" "The nest instant 10,000 panic strick en steers came sweeping over the 'ift V TEN THOUSAND PANIC BTEICKEN CATTLiE. plain like . a tornado, and Paul was knocked down and had his shoulder dislocated." Lucky Paul If there had been 20,000 steers in that herd he might have had his little finger broken as wall. We don't think we shall read the book. It is too beef y. We find on our desk a copy of the book entitled "Loved Unto Death." An American soldier in the Philippines loves a dusky maiden until she dies and leaves all the housework on her aged mother's hands. Those who like that style of doing business will prob ably buy the book. i "Every Man His Own Lawyer" is the title of a neat little volume issued by a well known Chicago publishing house. The author guarantees that any man who will follow the instruc tions laid down will have fifty law suits on his hands every year and get beaten in every one of them. We have waded through ninety-eight pages of a book entitled "Why She Loved Him" without being able to dis cover the reason, but there is no doubt of its being there somewhere. No wo man ever loves a man without a rea son for it, even if it's only because he wears eyebrows. "Heroines of America" is the title of a book sent us by the Boston publish ers, and after reading the first ten pages of it we made up our mind to hire women to kill all our grizzly bears in future. Fifty heroines are incorpo rated in the book, and there are at least five thrills to a page. The author of the book "A Nation's Ingratitude" seeks to make out that the people of this country haven't giv en the Indian a fair show and ought to be ashamed of it. We know several Indians who will agree with him, and they may possibly be encouraged to take up the scalping business age in. In the book "Was He His Son?" the young man who doesn't know whether he is the sou of his father or some one else's father suddenly leaps to his feet and cries out: "Tell me, Jacob Strong, who am I?" "I cannot say." "Am I your, son?" "My lips are sealed." "Am I the son of any one else?" "Do not press me." "But you must tell me." "I cannot." And the poor young man goes all through the book without even the consolation of knowing that he is the son of a gun if hot of his father. We haven't finished reading "The Wife's Rebellion," but it starts out as if there was plenty of powder behind it. "Lillian, you must not dispute me." "But. I do dispute you." "Do you forget that I am your hus band?" "Alas, no!w "Then apologize for your obstinacy." "Never in this world!" "I will giveyou five minutes." I will die ere I apologize." "Are you ready to go out and face the cold and cruel world without a shilling to your name or a second dress to your back?" "I am. I am only a frail woman, but I can drive a coal cart If it be comes necessary." "Then, Lillian then" Then the tornado broke and the splinters flew, and the once happy home was knocked into a cocked hat. The book probably has a happy end ing and is worth the price asked for it, e?en if yon have to hire some cue else to read It. M. QUAD. -in' ' in T l ,t l 4 . ..tW f . . . . c I -. M I t Wi.T T- W--.
