The grounds around the passenger
station and IVnn avenue for some
distance troni tin? railroad was
. ... ,
crowded with people in vehicles and
on foot. Wednesday to greet lion.
Elias ('arr, the Democratic nominee
for Governor of North Carolina, and
ex-Go v. Thos. .1. Jarvis, the great
leader and campaigner. J uev came
on the mixed train from Raleigh, and
were triven a warm reception. The
committee of the Cleveland-Carr
Williams Club and citizens crowded
around them, and for a short while
there were introductions and warm
hand shaking.
The distinguished speakers were
taken to carriages in waiting, and a
procession lormou and moved up
town. The line was a long one and
right imposing, and awoke no ineon-
siderable enthusiasm. The proces
sion turned into College street, thence
to Main, down Main to High, then to
Gilliam and up Gilliam street to the
Osborn House, where Messrs. Cart-
am! Jarvis registered.
The speaking took place 1 o'clock
in the large couitroom. Every seat
was occupied and many persons stood
up. The audience, composed of good
Democrats from country and town,
was m thorough accord with the
speakers and applauded frequently
aiid loud and long.
H. M. Shaw, President Democratic
Club, introduced our next governor
in a very graceful little speech.
Mr. Carr spoke for an hour, and
discussed the issues in a plain, prac
tical manner. His speech was well
received and won him the friend
ship of all who heard him. He was
applauded again and again.
Mr. Carr said he is simply a far
mer, and lie understands the busi
ness or the farm, and also knows
something of the ills the farmers are
groaning under. He spoke of agri-
cultural degression, and that. he ha.d
cast his lot with the toiling masses
and was working for their relief. We
have too many political issues, and
he fears the people are losing sight
of the principal issue to dethrone
the Republican party, which is re-

for any other than the Democratic
party is more than half a vote f or

j ftwu yvuiu-
uio-lju xjiiiiipjt;.-, uiii, me sins ot
omission of the framers of those
platforms are greater than their sins
of commission in leaving out a
tariff reform plank. He showed the
intimate relations between protective
tariff and our financial depression,
and said our circulating medium will
continue to be too 'small unless we
lower the tariff. He did not hesi
tate to make the statement that if
we had a financial jubilee today and
divided the money per capita, that
in fifteen years the country would be
in as deplorable financial condition
as at present.
Referring to the opposition to Mr.
Cleveland in North Carolina, Mr.
Carr said Mr. Cleveland is the nomi
nee of our party and the complete
exponent of the tariff reform move
ment. It is is our duty and should
be" our pleasure to support him.
The Third party can do us a great
injury by putting tlie Republicans
into power again. 4 'Can the reform
we so need be obtained in the Demo
cratic part' ? God knows I believe
so, or I would not; be where I am
today." He beseeehed all his farmer
friends to put aside wrangling: and
stand together for Democracy.
A. W. Graham introduced Mr.
Jar vis, saying that he was a gov
ernor who did for his State in the
way of advancing its industrial in
terests more than any two governors
ever did before, and who was always
ready to do battle for the people and
for the cause of good government.
Wild cheering attested Mr. Jarvis'
popularity, and it broke out afresh
when he appeared on the stand. It
is safe to say no political speech
made in Granville county ever sur-

was eloquent, sound, temperate and
masterly. It covered the whole field
and covered it. completely. It met
every political issue and met it fairly
and square, and proved beyond a
shadow of a doubt that Democracy
was right. It dealt deadly blows to
the enemy, but there was no abuse.
It. unmasked the scheming allied en
emies of the Democratic party and
showed them up in their true light.
Pity it was that every man in our
county did not hear it.
Mr. Jarvis said: -I am seeking
onlv the good of the people of North
Carolina. I think 1 can tell the
truth. If I believed the Democratic
partv was hurtful to North Carolina
and not better than any other politi
cal partv I would leave it. If I be
lieved the Third party was calculated
to better advance the interest of
North Carolina than any other polit
ieal party I would support it. I have
never seen the day that I did not
love my State better than I did my
party. He was here today to talk
plainly, truthfully and , kindly of
matters of great importance to the
people, not to say anything harsh
about anybody or any party.
He was in llaleigh yesterday and
saw some of the very men in the
Third party convention who less than
ninety days ago helped to nominate
Elias Carr for governor.; (.an you
have confidence in such men 'I (Yells
of "No."") Three months ago the far
mers said they wanted a farmer for
governor. The Democrats nominated
the best and truest farmer in the
State. Mr. Carr is nothing else but
a farmer. And now what do we see ?
The Third partv convention first
nominated a lawyer and as he was
in favor of white supremacy he was
forced to withdraw, and then they
put up a doctor from Wayne. So it
seems these men do not want a far
mer they want a doctor. (Voice
in the audience : "That is because
they are sick !".) Well, they will
need a doctor on election day. They
fooled von at the May convention
and they will fool you again if you
elect them. They are not to be trust
ed and they have proved it.
Anahze the Third partv State
ticket, and about all the candidates
are Republicans but one and he is a
doctor. The Third party is being
run bv and in the interest of the
Republican party. The most, mis

W. P. EXUM FOR GOVERNOR
NOMINATED BY THIRD PARTY.
Their Slate Convention at Raleigh
Skinner whs Nominated ami
Withdrew
Raleigh, N. C, August 16. - The
scenes at today's Third party con
vention here were unparalleled in
North Carolina politics, and will
never be forgotten. W. R. Lindsay,
chairman of the State Committee,
called the convention to order. Ma
rion Butler, president of the State
Alliance, was made temporary chair
man and J. W. Denmark secretary.
Later these were made permanent
officers. There were seventy out of
ninety-six counties represented by
357 delegates. Chairman Butler
said years had been spent in plan
ning and organizing, and that now
was the time for action.
The platform was submitted and
special applause was given the
planks demanding 6 per cent, inter
est, taxation ot all iailways, and the
endorsement of the Omaha platform.
The convention by a rising vote and
with a great demonstration jrtdopted
the platform. The next business in
hand was the selection of a candi
date for Governor, and this, which
began in the most harmonious way,
resulted in unequalled exeiierueni. j
Harry Skinner, a lawyer of G.fu
ville, who served in the last Legisla
ture, was placed in nomination, and
there was a burst of applause as del
egation after delegation endorsed
h i m .
Black and white delegates eulo
jfized him, and one enthusiast de
clared him to be L. L. Polk's sue
cessor. Skinner was then nominated
by acclamation. He is a man of line
appearance, and was cheered as he
began his speech of acceptance after
Chairman Butler had announced
him as the next Governor of North
Carolina.
Dimmer sani he was tlie pioneer
in the United States in the financial
reform movement, and declared that
the Democratic party leaders in
making support of Cleveland the
test of Democracy had driven him
out of that partjr.
He concluded by saying: "I do
not desire office, and before I accept
this position I want to say that if I
find that the Republican party is by
i i it
a conspiracy aoout to divide trie
white people of North Carolina I
must have the fullest liberty to take
my stand for the white people and
vote the Democratic ticket."
At this startling announcement
there was a hush for a moment and
then a roar of anger. It was like a
bomb-shell, and the convention went
wild. Delegates shouted: "Take
Skinner down ! Put up a purer and
a Third party man!" Skinner was
again called on to explain, and said
IrVif reservation of home irovern-
ment in North Carolina was para
mount. A motion to withdraw his
name was -declared out of order,
though fifty delegates seconded it
Skinner then withdrew his name.
Chairman Butler tried to make
pledges for his loyalty and declared
there would be no Republican State
ticket. A leading delegate shouted:
we have been deceived and we
richly deserve it." There was a de-
mand for an adjournment, as dele-
p.atfl swor nothing could he done
with the furiously angry and sur
prised convention, and the latter ad
journed until 8 o'clock. Republicans
are taking an undisguised part in
the proceedings
At the nisrht session the Ssate
ticket was nominated as follows:
Governor, W. P. Exum. of Wayne:
Secretary of State, L. N. Durham,
Gf Cleveland; Auditor, T. B. Long, a

tendent Public Instruction, J. W.

ham, Henderson, Jackson, Mitchell,

Watauga, Yadkin and Vancev.
Loge Harris and e .n.TL
publicans were present assisting in
the work of the convention, with the
thought uppermost in their minds to
give council and encouragement to
their aid society.
The chairman on platform, Mr. Butler
submitted the report of the committee as follows:
PLATFORM AS ADOl'TKD.
That we favor the strictest economy in the
administration of the State government.
That we favor the fullest development of
our educational system in all of its depart
meats. We favor the fullest encouragement to the
great agricultural, mechanical ajid manufac
turing industries of our State and all enter
prises tending to build up our State and to
develop its varied resources.
"Whereas, the last general assembly of
North Carolina failed to pass a bill reduc
ing the legal rate of interest to six per cent,
and whereas, we endorse the position of
those who used their efforts and votes to
pass such a measure, therefore,
We demand of our general assembly at its
next session 1o pass a bill reducing the legal
rate of interest to six pei cent.
We demand of our general assembly at iu
next session the passage of a secret ballot
law, with a provision in said law that will
secure to voters who cannot read an oppor
tunity to vote.
We deplore the corrupting use of money
in elections as tending to degrade manhood
and to corrupt the ballot box, and we do de
nounce all attempts to subvt-it the rights of
the people at the ballot box, and all efforts
to deprive them of a fair and honest count
when tlie votes have been cait.
Wheieas there are large railroad proper
ties and interests in this State now escaping
taxation iji whole or in pad, and whereas
further, it is in the province of the general
assembly of North CaioJina, making all
properly in the Slate bear its equal burden
of taxation, now, therefore, ,r jt.
Resolved, ist That we demand of llj
general assembly of North Carolina to foice,
as Jar as in its power, all railroad property
and interests that are now escaping taxation,
in whole or in part, to pay its full and equal
share of taxes for support of the government
of North Carolina as t he property of farmer-.,
laborers and other citizens aie now taxed.
Resolved, 2nd--That we demand that no
furtl ler franchises or privileges in the way of
amended or extended charters or otherwise
be granted any corporation claiming exemp
tion of taxation, until such corporation or
corporations 'mala: a complete and unquali
fied surrender of any claimed exemption
from taxation.
Whereas it is believed by many that there
will be an effort to repeal the railroad com
mission bill or cripple it by amendments,
therefore,
We demand of fhe next general assembly
of North Carolina that it shall sustain the
present railroad commission bill, that no
amendments lessening or hampering the
power of the commissioners shall be passed.
and that only amendments (if any at all)
such as mav or will increase the efficiency of
commission and perfect the machinery and
details of the same, shall be enacted into
law.
Resolved, That this convention endorse
the platform adopted by the national peo
ple's party at Omaha, July 4th, 1S92.
There was applause for each plank of the
platform, particularly the one for 6 per cent
interest, and for the taxation of railways,
and endorsing the Omaha platform. There
was a particularly lively cheer as Chairman
Butler read, in a stage voice, the last plank.
Then the convention, by a rising vote, and
amidst vociferous cheering, adopted the plat
form unanimously.
The American Eagle must be a ay old bird .

Announcement has just appeared

vention will be held at Berea on Au
gust 27. Thoy will also open their
campaign :i( saint lime and place,
and other appointments will be given

They claim that they will have
good speakers in the field, and will
make the campaign a lively one.
Dr. Merritt, of Person, will probably
be the senatorial nominee of the
Thirdites.
