Five thousand men—delegates and others—gathered in conven tion at Charlotte Wednesday noon.' Chairman Hugh G. Chap man called the assembly to order and introduced Elder P. D. Gold, who invoked the divine blessing on the deliberations of the con vention. After roll-call Ex-Governor Jar vis was introduced by Chairman Chapman, and made an eloquent address. The various commit tees were named, followed by a reading of a letter from Gov. Glenn. The convention stood with bow ed heads while listening to news of Cleveland's death and after the band had slowly played Jesus Lover of my Soud-the Presidents favorite hymn adopted resolutions of regret. The convention in respect to his memory adjourned till 4.30 p. m. The reassembling of the convention was a signal for demonstrations the friends of the three candidates. When the tumult died away the committee reports were heard and nomina tions began, Kitchen was nomi nated by C. W. Tilletof Charlotte Home by T. W. Bickett and Craig by ex-Gov. Aycock. Each nomi nation brought much applause. The balloting began and the first ballot resulted: Kitchin 376; Craig 333; Home 147. It was evident that a dead-lock was on. The second, third, fourth, and fifth ballots did not change the the figures. The seventh ballot resulted: Kitchin 377; Craig 324. Home 154. , * IN THE HALLS OF DEATH With the death of Grover Cleve land Wednesday there passed a waythe last ex-presidedt and the greatest American. If while he lived, there were some doub ters of this title they are now hushed b> themajesty of death. Not only has he dared much and done much but like Washington and Lee he has suffered much. His life is a veritable example of how America treats her "great men. He climbed to greatness from obscurity with a doughti ness that wrung unwelling ad miration from his countrymen. Twice elevated to the Presi dency he made his administra tion a synonym of good govern ment and honesty. But at the heigth of his power his popular ity left him and a fickle people clamored against him whom they had just vied in applanding. He went to private life in 1896 prob ably the best hated man in Amer ica. Since then he has so lived that he dies the best belovod. May the weary old Titan find in death what all the world den ied him while he lived—peace. At The Hotels. Hotel registers show some two hundred visitors the last week. Proprietors say thel last two or three days have shown much in crease. The boarding houses as usual are full. Out of State visitors at the Charter House were: T. V. Frances, Ky. J. W. Sewell, S. C. T. A Stanford, Va. At the Central: J. P. Fowley, Tenn. Mrs. Geo. Jones, Wash! Mrs. W. W. Sherrill, Wash. At the Marshall: J. P. Russell Tenn. 0. C. Song, Ga. Fred Smith Ohio. H. E. Baggerly, 111. A. G. Prince, N. Y. H. Slowman, Md. R. A. Wright, Ind. To Our Friends. We have withheld the Demo crat from the press for a half-day hoping to have definite news from the convention at Charlotte. yVe trust the increased size will compensate for the delay. A Prophet. David B. Hill in a recent in terview in regard to Bryan's nomination remarked that the Democratic party was going to ;he devil and going fast. Yes, sir. Now we know of no one vvho by long intimacy and close companionship is more qualified :o speak about the devil's affairs chan Mr. Hill and yet being in some ways a free niggerwe have just a little doubt on the subject. Even tho' Mr. Hill himself has *one on in front to prepare a olace for us that where he is we may be also, we hesitate to re ceive his dictum. Why all this talk against Bry an? If he's been beaten twice, we hear the chirp, it is perfectly logical that he will be beaten again. Logic is a good thing ir. its place but in politics its just a legal term for plain, dam non sense. Conditions are changed— panic instead of prosperity, labor Democracy instead of labor Re publican, tariff reform move ments instead of protection movements, negro estrangement instead of negro solidity and finally, 0 ye of little faith, Bry an against Taft instead of Parker against Teddy and all his angels. But we have better men says an other. Verily but the people— not the salt of the earth like Mr. Hill but thecommon people—have decided they want Bryan. They have already indorsed him. Then get upon the water wagon, you son of a slippery sea serpent, for have you not heard and is it not written: "Let us all fall in line and fol low Billy Bryan. He will lead us to the happy land." Police Court. One Abe Winkler from Rhod hiss went to Salisbury Saturday night and became gloriously ef fected with "tangle-food." On his return just before reaching Hickory, the conductor put him off the train, whereupon Mr. Winkler came on to Hickory and proceeded to ' 'paint the town red." The police then took charge of him and placed him in the lock-up where he remained until Monday morning when he was tried before Mayor Black welder and released under bond. We think our policemen are to be commended for their noble efforts in behalf of law and or der. They are fearlessly doing their duty under all circumstan ces and we believe their course is appreciated by every law-abid ing citizen in Hickory. Young Man VVins Honors. J. Sterling Moody, son of Rev. Moody, rector of the Episcopal church of this city, graduated from Trinity College, New York City last week. Mr. Moody won three out of four honors awarded to his class. He is spending part of his vacation with friends on Long Island, All the boys, as well as the girls are requested to meet at the graded school building Satur day morning at 9 o'clock. Those who have charge of the exercises for the Fourth of July want to have 300 boys and girls in the procession and on the grand stand. Let every girl and boy beon haiid Saturday morning. Mr. and Mrs. O. W. File, of Hickory, spent Saturday and Sunday at the home of Mrs. File's brother, Mr. Stroud, on the Wilkesboro road, near town. —Landmark. A car load of ponies was brought here and sold Thursday. They were mostly Shetland pon ies, and went to make the hearts of many children around Hickory happy. - ' Linen Shower. Monday afternoon a linen show er was given Miss Josephine Murphy, by Miss Lucile Shuford. Seventy-five invitations were issued. After all the guests ar rived, the bride was showered as she stood under a cluster of pink and white wedding bells, with a downpour, not a shower, of the most exquisite dainty and elegant linen. The original verses given by each guest were greatly en joyed. They showed marked talent in our city along poetical lines in these romantic times. Miss Ada Schenk carried off the prized for the cleverest. The following Is the rhyme given by Miss Schenk: "Here's to the Jolliest of times O'er our shower of linen and rhymes, So Come dames and lassies, And lift np your glasses, A.nd let's drink to the health of Mis. Grimes.'' After this,all took Miss Schenk's advice, The prize was a pair of candlesticks, which was present ed [to Miss Murphy. Those from a distance were: Misses. Neal Roseman and Lena Reinhardt, of Lincolnton, Mrs. T. F. Cooper, of Fay6ttesville, and Miss Carma Grimes, of Salis bnry. Burke-Sigmon. Mr. Dores Burke of this city and Miss Carrie Sigmon of Clare njont were married Sunday after noon at the home of Rev. Propst of Claremont. Miss Sigmon is the youngest daughter of Emaniel Sigmon of Claremont. Mr. Burke who is interested in the Wonderland theater came here from Newton. The young people will make their home in this city. The Democrat extends congratula tions and best wishes. Death oi Cleveland. Grover Cleveland three times a nominee for the Presidency and twice elected died at his home in Princeton N. J. Wednesday morning. Pres. Cleveland has been very ill for some time and the terrible neat of the last few days hastened his death. His wife and three physicians were with him when the end came. Mrs. Cleveland was prostrated with grief and kind friends took all the cares on themselves, send ing telegrams to the children and Mrs. Cleveland's friends. Telegrams of condolence kept pouring in all day from all over the world. Pres. Roosevelt, Bryan, Taft. Gov. Glenn and other prominent men paid tribute to the illustrious dead. All flags will be placed at mast head for the next thirty days. Grover Cleveland was born in Caldwell N. J., in 1837. His parents emigrated toN.Y., when he was three years of age and his father died thirteen years later. He attended Academy at Clinton, studied law, was district attorney, sheriff and in 1881 was elected mayor of Buffalo. He made a record as a veto mayor and next vear was elected Gov ernor of New Jersey. In 1884 he was elected-president over J. G. Blaine, was renominated in in 1888 but defeated by Harrison, rle was elected over Harrison in 1892 and at the close of his term retired to Princeton. More "Moonshine." United States Marshall, C. F. Blalock and Chief of Police, P. P. Jones paid a visit to South Mountain Monday morning in search of a "booze factory," and were successful in capturing a distillery of 100 gallons capacity and in destroying a number of fermentors. Unfortunately the operatives had departed without leaving their address and the officers were compelled to con tent themselves without making any arrest. A. K. Joy, of San Jose, Cal., has moved here with his family. They live in part of Mrs. Kistler house. Hickory is glad to have these people come here to live. We wish others would follow their example. ~W"±11 "tixe "Fa.-p-m lE3leed? _ Who drove the farmers of Kentucky and Tennessee 1o £f/psLf burning warehouses and destroying tobacco plant beds?— M/j' -SHnl The Trust.
