ed Delegates and Adjourned.
The democrats met in con
vention Monday in accordance
with chairman Ginnings call.
Chairman Ginnings called to
the chair temporarily W. W,
Barber, Esq. T. J. Robertson
and R. A. Deal were ask to act
a secretaries. The temporary
organization was made perma
nent. R. N. Hackett introduced the
following resolutions which
were adopted without opposi
tion: Whereas, the financial question is
the most prominent one, before the peo
ple at this time, and is a question upon
which the people demand definite and
unequivocal declarations, not subject to
different interpretations at different
times and places to suit the views of
the audience, and
. Whereas, the Democracy of Wilkes
believes in the life-long principles of
Democracy as taught by Jefferson,
Jackson and our own beloved Vance,
one of which is the use of both gold
and silver as standard and redemption
money upon an equality before the law
without discrimination or charge of
mintage; we therefore'
Resolve, that we heartily endorse the
true Democratic principle of the use of
both gold and silver as standard and
redemption money, at the established
ratio of 15 to 1, as enunciated in the
State platforms of 1892 and 1894.
Resolved 2nd., that our delegates . to
the State and Distiict conventions be
instructed to use all honorable means
first, last and all the time, to secure the
adoption of platforms agreeable to the
true Democratic doctrine herein stated.
Resolved 3rd, that we send only such
men as. delegates ' to the ' conventions
and instruct them to vote for only such
men as candidates for office, who favor
unequivocally the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio ef 16 to 1,
without waiting for the consent ' or ac
quiescence of any other nation on. the
globe; .
Col. Wm. H. H. Cowles put
in nomination the following
delegates : and alternates to
the State convention, who were
elected without opposition:
Delegates C C Wright, W
W Barber, R D Horton, A M
"Vannoy, J A Carlton, L W

U, But after all this, the
"Frizland" retains his usual
lean, lank, cadaverous, hungry
look. One of our gold stand
ard friends tells us that this is
a fair sample of how the gold
men are going" to capture all
the conventions; etc. It may
be added also that it is a fair
representation of the ravages
of the gold standard upon the
prosperity of the people. Like
the Frizland, itvsjbeals in the

never becomes ' satisfied. It
still retains its cadaverous rest

. Important to The Town.
Thetown commissioners ask
and request the citizens of the
town of Wilkesboro to meet
with them Wednesday at 10
o'clock, to consult about
the; debt due the town
by the Wilkesboro Hotel Com

sioners. Picnic at Boariug Biver.
There is to be a big picnic at
Roaring River on the 6th inst.
and everybody is invited to at
tend and bring along a basket
well-filled. They expect to
have a delightful time, as they
always do at picnics down there.
A friend at Roaring River
writes us that "the editor is ex
pected without a basket, but
with a young lady." The editor
is ready, but where's the young
lady? " Don't all speak at once.
