Senator Buller of North Carolina went before the senate committee on the judiciary today with a request for the postponement of final considera tion of the nomination of Hamilton-G. Ewart to: be judge of the western dis trict of that state until he could have opportunity tor the formulation of charges he will make against Mr. .bwart. He did not make known the character of the charges, beyond stat ing that Mr. Ewart was not of judicial ueuiperament, ana tnat ce was not a lawyer of sufficient standing to entitle him to the distinction sought to be conferred upon him. In obedience to the request the con- r aider ation of the nomination was post poned a week. Washington Star of 7th.

He may. or may 'not drop the matter,. he said, at the next meet ing of the committee. The impression here is 'that today's demonstration ends the opposition. WARM TIME IN COUNCIL flEETING OF THE TWIN-CITY'S BOARD OF ALDERMEN. The Hard Lines of Our Neighbor and Prayer for DeHrerance Fulk Is 'Getting Better. Special to the Telegram. Winston, Feb. 8 The city aldermen met in session last night to hear reports of the different officials of the city, in- cidently and ostensibly to elect a mar ket clerk to succeed Benton, democrat, The board is republican and elected W. L. Hampton, republican, to suc ceed him. A few of the fathers were moved according to the gravity? of the situation to vent their pent up wrath and to ventilate some fooj opin ions It was stated in the beginning that the body should be non-political in its choice of the man, but alderman Hopper MTTysa stained his record for assininity by. injecting in a most dis- gustmg manner, politics into the elec tion. He stated that he could not get work, having been idle two years on account of his politics, which he can not substantiate, that his brother had ost his position and been driven from home on account of his politieal belief and having delivered himself of this kindred rot, he stated that' this was not the reason for voting for Wiley Keith who has the endorsement of the majority of citizens, but because he was pledged to the other man. Frank Carter colored, recently thrown out of the school board on ac count of his gross immorality and failure to account for $160 intrusted to his person, in "any other way than by saying Jt was stolen from him, (and it was, he had to admit, while he was drunk ) also delivered himself of few sentiments. For a city to be run by such assin- ines there must be some retributive justice. In May we hold our municipal elec tion and may the gods of honesty and public decency preside over the event. The young man Fulk who was knocked from the train Saturday is doing very nicely this morning and the doctor says that if he continues as 11 his leg will not have to be ampu tated.
