Announcements of candidates for the various otlices ot county and State can be made in the COURIER at the same prica as heretofore, namely : ?5.00, strictly cash in ad vance. This price will be adhered to, first and last. The advertising columns of this paper are open to all parties. It is perfectly legitiiua'e for can. didates to make a formal announce ment of their caudidacy. Recommendations of candidates by "vox populi" or "many citizens" must be paid for as any other an nouncements. 4 WORD OF C'AUTMKV. The action taken by the Demon dratic convention la.Jt Saturday in riot instructing the delegates to vote tor any particular candidate was a wise orie. The convention which meets at Kaleigh on the 18th is go ing to be one of the most important that has been held for many years. It is going to require the greatest wisdom and judgment and the most careful deliberation. It unift bo remembered that this is a peculiar crisis. We cannot afford to sacri fice the party and its principles for the benefit of any particular candi date. The most earful survey of the whole field must be made, and this can hardly be done before the delegates get to Ka'.iegh. Those who have been elected to attend the State convention are in honor bound to go there determined to know nobody or thing save the good of the principles of Democra cy, The 18th of May, 1892, is going to be a day on which to "try men's souls". Men who go to Kaleigh as delegates on that day must be men thoroughly imbued with principle and they must be men of back bone and good judgment. They must plant their feet upon the platform of eternal Democracy and then vote lor the men who can most successfully battle for the triumph of those prin ciple. A MERCHANT FRIEND has Sug gested to us that the grocery mer fihants of Lincolntnu ought to close their stores every evening at 8 o'clock uniformly, because by so do ing the clerks would then have some opportunity to read and improve themselves. There is much truth in this suggestion. If all the mer chants would agree to choose 8 o'clock as the hour for closjng and adhere to the agreement strictly, it could not tail to work satisfactorily. This, howewr, is a matter for the merchants to decide themselves. Alliiuieniieii Hold a Secret Conference mid Formu late a Ticket. Thirty-three Alliancemen, repre senting Vitiious sub-Alliances in the conuty, met here last Saturday and held a meeting in a room in the old Carolina Hotel building. It is stated ttiat the meeting was held in accordance with an appointment made at tne meeting ot the county Alliance in April. The meeting wae very quiet and o course the public was not expected to kuov what was done but it leaked out as such things always do. Among othtr things lesolutions were pasMed and those present renewed their oaths of allegiance. W. 13. Gibson, W. II. Adrrholdt , H ('.Davidson, J. C. Kimball, Tfo-. Stevenson and Win. Gabiiel were appointed a com noittee to name a ticket to be voted for at the coming primaries. Alter consultation they reported a ticket which was uuauimously adopted by the 33 delegates. Some other Alii aucemen were present but not be ing delegates did not vote. The ncket is as follows : I'or Governor Walter Clark, ol Wake. For Lieiiienant-fJovor nor Harry Skinner, of Pitt. For Congress W. A. Graham, of Lincoln. P. C. Jurney, of Olin, was select ed as chairman for the Democratic county convention which meets on the 15th. The action ot the meeting Satur day is to be submitted to the sub Alliances in the county for their approval. Another meeting is then to be held before the meeting of the Democratic county convention to hear reports from subAHiances aud canvass the chances for captnriog the county convention and forcing this ticket on it. But "the Alliance hain't in politics and never was," Let every Democrat who believes in fair play and a square deal con sider the above and govern himself a cc i r d l u g 1 y .

COUXT Y COX VFATIOXS. eiuruiouy niil EnthuHlaHiii .Among Democrats, Democratic county conventions -vere held in many counties in North Carolina yesterday and the results of the election of delegates to the State convention is indeed gratify ing to all democrats. The follow ing specials tell the tale. ISrunswlck County,, Soutiipokt, May 7. Brunswick county democratic convention held here to-day was haamonious, the delegates being elected ou strict party lines. .Itnrk County. Morganton, May 7. In Mor ganton township today Governor Holt received 57 votes, Julias S. Carr3S, and S. -B. Alexander 2. Trot out your rooster, Mr. Herald. Craven County. Newbern, May 7. The Demo cratic county convention held here to day was a large and enthusiastic gathering, and perfectly harmoni ous. The delegation to Raleigh was uuinstrncted.. Union County. Nonroe, Msy 7. The democrat ic county convention held here to d iy was well atteuded. Sixteen democratic delegates to the State convention were elected, they pledged themselves to support the nominees of the democratic State, national and congressional couvtn tions. Nc instructions except fcr Alexander for Congress. Orange County. Hillsboro, May 7. The Orange county democratic convention met here to-day, Sheriff John O Hughes, ex-president ot the county alliance, was made permanent chair man. A straightont democratic delegation was elected to the State and the congressional convention. No instruction was given. Pitt Cou ii j. Greenville, May 7. The Pitt county democratic convention was harmonious. There were no "reso lutions" adopted and the delegates are uoinstructed. Democrats need have no fear from the Pitt county delegation. Alamance County. Graham, May 7. The county convention instructed for Holt, and all the delegates to the State con vention are bolt men. The third party is dead here. Lenoir County. Kinston, May 7, Let the dem ocratic rooster crow for Lenoir. The delegation to the State convention j is composed ot good men, all j straight-out democrats, first, last j and all the time, without the slight' i est third party taiut. No instiuc j tions except for N. J. Rouse for at- torney general. Capt W. W, Car- raway and solicitor Allen made earnest and eloquent speeches urg ing democrats to close up all ap parent breaches and not allow the republicans to slip into power through a spilt iu the ranKs of democracy. Forsytli Couuty. Winston, May 7. The demo cratic county convention which met here to day was enthusiastic and largely attended. It was called to ordey by chairman Baford, of the county executive comittee; Elias llausor was elected chairman. Ev jery township was represented ex j cexept two. A strong delegation to the State convention was elected. : Bow delegates stand in their pre terence ior governor cannot be as certaiued, but Holt's frieuds claim he has a safe majority. Many del- egates are a'liaucemeu but all ae stuanch democrats. Clement Man ly aud C. B. Watson spoke before the convention. Wilson County. Wilson, May 7 TLe democratic county convention passed off har moniously. Conservative aud reps resentative democrats were elected delegates to the State convention. No choice for Governor was ex- pressed, and nothing was said about the third party or theSt. Louis de mands. Ola. Caiuuca iSever Flatbed in the l'uii. NEWTON, N- C, May 7 Of the primaries held in the county lo day Newton sends 15 straight-out Dem ocrats to county convention ; Cataw ba, G straightout and J A'bance rnan ; Hickory 7 t-traightout Denis Odts and 1G Alliaueemeu. Other precincts staud about equal between Alliancemen and uotiJUIianpeuueu. The Third party was uot mentioned. Gaston Democrat? ry Sever in Better Condition. Dallas, N, C. May 7. A most harmouious convention today re sulted very much as conjectured by me a few days ago the conjecture beiDg based on reports from pii maiies. J. D. Moore was made chairman, W. F. Marshall eecreta. ! ry. j State Lecturer J. S. Bell was aN j lowed to addresH the convention for foity minntes. His speech was roundly applauded and as a Demo cratic-Allianco ppeech was all that the most extreme Democrat could have asked of an Alliauceman. It had a wholesome and nothiug bat a wholesome effect. Instructions were as follows: For Governor, Carr 20, Holr, 23, San derlin 14; for Attorney General, F. I. Osborne, unanimous with enthu siasm ; for Congress, W. H. Bower, unanimous with great enthusiasm The county is entitled to eleven vote3 ia the State convention,which will be cast in proportion indicated above. The delegations contain some Alliancemen, but all are straight Democrats. Butler's man was put on as an alternate and is not likely to turn up in the Demo cratic convention. The swoop and capture game didn't work in Gaston primaries, though it will be remembered this is one of the Alliance strongholds of the States. The Democracy of the county uever seemed in stronger con dition. Our best men are showing themselves, not for con tention but for simple business. Martin county Democratic con vention met Monday and the straights won an overwhelming vie tory over the opposition. Everything was harmonious in Johnston county Democratic con vention which assembled Monday. Straight-out Democrats were elect ed by the State convention and nearly all the delegates are for Holt. The Alliance captured Warreu couuty Democratic convention and elected all Alliancemen as delegates to the'State convention; The re turns from the Vance county pri maries indicate that the Alliauce Third parly element will control it meets to-day. Ilentou For TVot doing Willi The Third Pany. Me. Editor: I do not wish to make :he impression on the ruiiids ' of your readers that I think my in dividual opinion on the great politi cal issues uow agitating the Ameri can people would be taken as inlal. lible. Neither do I wish to gain publicity by my letter writing," but having takeu a prominent part through the medium of your paper in defence of the Alliance of Lincoln county in the day of its prosperity, before designing men were trying to drag it into a political party & party some of whose principles are foreign to the intent for which the j Alliance was organized and being urged by Alliancemen, I deem it my duty, and not only mine but a duty of every true Allianceman who has the good of the Alliance and the State at heart, to speak out in un mistakable terms at this, the time when it is being made the stepping stone of "sore head" Democrats aud broken down politicians to honors they could never attain in the fold of the old party. The only political signification in the Alliance is edw cation educate the masses so that they will be able to vote intelligent ly. This has been done to a great extent. One of the great reform measures that has been most loodly proclaimed by the Alliance orgaus and speakers, is tariff reform. This the party into which the self assured ''leaders" are trying to drag the Alli ance entirely ignores. Another great measure demanded by the Alliance is the prohibition of dealing in fu tures in agricultural and mechanical products. What does the Tbiid party say on lhat line ! Read the second plank in their platform nd see if you can form an idea. I con fess to being unable to see any pnv hibition of any kind in that plank, notwithstanding some Third p irty ites claim to see it plainly. See what it 8ys on the mode it would have the Government, in issuing money, adopt. You will see it sfaits off by saying "We demand" and closes by trying to tack the "de mand,? on to the subiTreasury plan of the Farmers' Alllauce, without even defining what that plan is. It fails eriirdy to demand the aboli tion of Natioual banks, but seems to set forth a "demand" which would starve the National Banks to death. Thinking Alliancemen do not be-, lieve the Natioual Bank to be in a starving condition nor likely to be come so bv the Government's sim ply issuing money. They demtud that the National Bmk shall b abolished, and that the government issue money direct to the PEOPLE. Such a confusion ot facts hs is set forth iu the 3rd plank of the Third i party platform will not draw me to its told nor many other reading, thinking Alliancemen. Another great fact that is clearly to be seen in every community where the Third party is agitated is "boss rule." It is the most radically bossed party we ever heard of. And by whom T Vo have the unprecedented record i of Republicans voting that Demon crats go not into Democratic prima ries and Democrats voting to ex. elude .Republicans from Republican primaries, and that, too, in the face ot the fact that the Alliance consti tution clearly says that being a member of the Alliance shall in no wise conflict with your political or religious views. Do they stop here! Ob, no. They proceed to read every one out of the Alliance who is not willing meekly to submit to their dictum. Will the conservative ele ment of the Alliance, the element that has the good of the order at. heart, qnietly submit to these things T We think not. If you, reader, have thoroughly investigat ed all sides of this question of alien atlon from your party and are con vinced that you are right, then by all means vote the Third party tick" et. But be very sure in so doing you are voting your own convictions and not for the party some local ioss" told yon to vote for. In conclusion, I wish to say that I will not. submit to be ing kicked out of the Alliance be cause I reluse lo leave the Demos cratic party. Neither can they kick you out, reader. Stand 6rm to your own convictions. Let them rant as much as they please. You are near er the Alliance constitution than they. J: Will McIntosh, Lowesville, N. C, May 4, 1892. Ellas Carr Not a Oamlidate. Mr. John L. Biidges wrote to Mr. Elias Carr as follows: "There has been much said iu connection with your nomination for governor. There is an impression amoug your friends that you are not a can didate for the position. Being aware of no public declaration on y0Qr part, as to this, 1 would be pleased to know your views about it, should you see fit to express them." To this Mr. Carr replies : "I beg to acknowledge the receipt of yonr esteemed favor, and to thank you for the opportunity af forded me of declining publicly what I have so often done in con versation, viz, the permission to use my name for the gubernatorial nom. ination. To my many friends, both in and out of the alliance, and es pecially to my countrymen who have manifested such interest in my preferment, I tender my most, hearty thanks and assure hrm thai I feel grateful for their confidence."
