On last Friday evenin a delight
ful lawn party was; given at the home
of Colonel M. A. Candler for the
benefit of the Donald Fraser library.
Chinese lanterns were hung from the

placed in every nook and corner of

the enjoyment of j the occasion Mr.
Leo Wheat, of Richmond, Ya., an
ex-confederate soldier and noced

ic. The generosity of Mr. Wheat in
giving the boys a benefit recital de
serves especial mention.
Several times during the past two
or three weeks this wonderful musi
cal genius has given piano . recitals
at Mr. G. A.Ramspeck's and Colonel
Milton A. Candler's. Rarely is
such music heard. His hearers seem
never to grow tirec, but will sit for
hours listening, almost entranced, as
this gifted man plays, his very soul
seeming to be in his finger tips.
First we hear an (entrancing waltz,
then the sweetest lullaby then the
inimitable negro sons:, when without
even shifting his teeat the player
passes on into the grandest sympho
nies of the masters.
People who have; not heard Leo
Wheat have missed; the rarest treat.
Those who have heard him most seem
the mpst eager to hear him again,
and all come away delighted. Mr.
Wheat has already a national repu
tation and many of his compositions
find ready sale among the lovers of
music. ,. !

fine presence, clean record and an
able canvasser. The Dispatch is for

HOBARTS NOMINATION.
Hon. William L. Wilson, Postmaster General
in Cleveland's Cabinet.
Hon. William L. Wilson, of
West Virginia, the great tariff
reformer j whose tariff bill of
several years ago won fame for,
its author and who has all along
been, the opposite , of McKinley
on the great question of tariff,
! was in Salisbury last night
when the news of the nomina
tion of McKinley and Hobart
reached here. I
Mr. Wilson talked to a
World man about the nomina
lions while waiting for the train
to Washington. Said he:
j "I am not at all surprised at
the nominatjon of McKinley
for president; that had been ex
pected all! along. But I rather
thought that Levi P. Morton, of
New York, would be the man
for the .second place. I don't
know whry Hobart was put
i
m."
Mr. Wilson; was returning
from Nashville where he had
been to deliver an address be
fore the yanderbilt University,
and talked of the pleasant trip
he had had. He is very much
pleased with the scenery of
North Carolina and Tennessee
and expressed the desire to re
turn to this sec tion of . the coun
try when opportunity affords.
l
F. E. Shober, member of staff of New, York
World, nowjon a visit .here. .
"The result is not at all a sur
prise. McKinley has been the
only choice for v weeks and
months. The New York World
confidently named him long
ago. As to the second place on
the ticket no one is or ever has
been particularly interested.
That the Republican party
should declare for sound money
is not to be wondered at. To
have done otherwise would have
been equivalent to a total sur
render of the whole vote of the
powerful East. That the party
has, however, thrown a well
buttered slice to the silverites is
manifest in the 'small following
given apparently to Senator
Teller when he 'bolted.' " t
Prof. B. A. Johnson, (col.) Republican. ,
"I am satisfied that the nomi
nation of Maj. McKinley by the
Republican convention is equiv
alent to an election. No man
in the country is more popular
with the masses'and in both par
ties 'than Mr. McKinley. His
record is clean, and he is said to

be personally an amiable man
and entirely without, bitterness
In his nature. This, with' his
great ability, makes us unequi
vocally in favor of ; the man
from Ohio. We cannot 'say that
we ars so well pleased with "the
nomination of Mr. Hobart, of
New J ersey, for we have never
heard of the man before and
would have preferred H. Clay
Evans, of Tennessee, or Gover
nor Bradly, of Kentucky. We
think the South with a little
careful nursing will poll a re
spectable majority, in at least
the border States. However.on
the whole, we are satisfied with
the work of the convention and
shall give our support to the
ticket."
G. A. Bingham, Republican Candidate for State
Treasurer in 1892.
"Maj. McKinley was my first
choice for the nominee for Pres
ident. I am well pleased with
Hobart for the Vice-Presidency.
The platform is satisfactory
Hon. Lee S. Overman, Democrat;
."In my opinion McKinley is
the weakesjt man the Republi
cans could have nominated,
Reed not excepted. McKinley
ism and protection are synono-
mous and the people have repu
diated them once under a de
luge of ballots. Protection has
been chiefly instrumental in a
massing colossal fortunes for
the few. I do not believe that
McKinley can be elected."
Samuel Archer, Editor Watchman, Populist.
"McKinley won the nomina
tion in a straight "fight with the
people of the Republican party
and his henchmen held the con
yention rigidly up to the work.
If the free silver people would
now unite with the People's
Party they could down the Re
publicans. There is no other
way to do it that I can see."
Edwin Shaver, one of the most prominent I'ro
hibitioniscs in North Carolina.
'If I were a Republican I
would have been for Morton, of
New Ylork, for President, or Al
lison, of Iowa. Never would I
vote -for McKinley through
choice. He does not seem to
have the courage of his convict
tions, is a straddler on the fi
nancial question and high pro
tective tariff. The gold plank
is the best thing in the platform.
If the Democrats will declare a-
gainstfree and unlimited coinage
of silver at Chicago and against
a high protective tariff, I think
it will add Immensely to their
strength and chances of suc-
I
cess.
M. L. Bean, Republican.
"I do not think the Republi
cans could have done better.
McKinley is the strongest man
they could have nominated and
the platform is sound. "
Mayor W. C.Coughenour, Democrat.
4T think that McKinley and
Hobart . make, a - mighty weak
ticket." !
Hnry Durham, (col.,) ilver Republican from
Utah. -
"The 'McKinley men , ha a
things in their own hands and
rushed the convention ,The
result does not suit me very
well as I am for silver." -

the ideas that he represents will
unite their forces and' solidly
oppose his election. Much will
depend on the action of the I.em
ocrartic convention at Chicago.
In the meantime some estimate
may be formed of the trend of
public opinion. McKinley has
been nominated on a sound
money platform to catch the
votes of the business men of the
country but as he himself has
never favored the monetary
views of this new platform of
his party, it remains to-be seen
whether he will obtain the sup- -port
of those who distrust him v
but who approve the financial
plank of the Republican plat
form. The success of Mclyn
ley ism will not bring prosperi
ty to the country. There -will '
be no permanent prosperity, in;
my opinion, until the Democrat
ic party obtains undispiSed con
trol of both Houses of Con'gress,
with a President and Congress
in perfect accord. Let every
Democrat hope for the best and
do all in his power to defeat
McKinley and Hobart ."
