The b-ight particular political star was Mail) Cju Tbooo. "Doctor Thorn p-' in," as be was frsqaentlv called. Tbe Eastern dcle-'atesjwere in no special good bflffrOT when they V dtcovred that ' lnioo .was ot down on the program, ioi when the straight out Populist ticket was pot up, aod the nomin.iliou of Oliver II. Dockcry was forced up'n the conveo ttoo by tlu: Botlenles, ia spite of tbe pro test, tit SUir.ner ot Thompson, there was seen a ul!en tt?spoftition among tbe East ern delegates, wbicii was not lessened as i ih? proceedings went on. i The poooiarity of Cyras Thompson was cooAicoca. lie wjs gnelei witti j pplaase cn every occasion, arid his peceUe9 were listened to with the greatest atienittto.

It Memext to settle his frie;fdv and tbe Eastern delegate hoked more cheerful 4oak greater in e rest in tie later pro ctedins. BockKitcuio was another prominent ' figure, more pronounced than ever in his own special Tiews, and anxious as ever to let them be hi ard. Lesser political lights were around, but ts they were merely satellitefs revolvins;,. , k J " - tAA.-t nt hi nt i inslp. around Senator Butler, ther cannot be considered, reflecting as they did the mastertnl power of the Chief ot all Pop I ultsU.

And withal nothing sceme-1 to be felt by the majority of the convention, only the few, Skinnex, Kilchio aod Thompson, realized the eee mart power, wln:h di reaead and cootrolled the convention. " tt wa do wonder that the Domination Oliver H. Dockery eaase1 discussion No-wTJodrr that Harry skinner was skep tical over this efevemh hour convert to Bryan and Watson, this new addition to rpoHm i ail that goes with it. TlJerMnie OocVery has been so long jaooymons with Kepublicaoism. that to hear Dockery and Populism cmpled t j getber is one of the really great surprises of this very trnga polyUcal year. "If a Dockerj can give op Repablican ism, then Indeed nothing is impossible in poMica' as id a man in ths convention. Ii was rumored that a Craven county delegate to the convention, Basnight by mme, hd oinetbing to do with Cy Thoir.psoD's bein Dominated.

Candidate Bryan has broken away from the rule of Senatot Jones, Senator Gorman and the other conservative Democratic managers and has dictated the selection of Chicago instead of Washington as the main heael quarlets of the Democratic National Committee, and Chairman Jones, very mnch against Ids will, announced the se lection ot Chicago, together with tht names of as many of the Executive Com mittee selected as had responded favorably to the telegrams asking them to serve, up to the time that he left for bis summer home at Frostburg, Md. Chairman Jones is so disappointed and displeased that if it were not for personal pride he would be very likely to retire from the active mar agement of the cam paign, but as it is, he will stick it out and stay in Chicago most of the time, al though lie will have branch headquai tt rs here next to the rooms of toe Congress onal Campaign Committee, unci he has a long distauce telephone put in order that he might communicate with ids advisers here and especially with Senator Gorman, who positively refused to go to Chicago or to take a place on the Campaign Com mitter alter it was determined by Candi date Bryan, against his advice and against that of Senator Jones and the other cou servatives ot the National Committee, mat the headqimrtcis would not be in Washington.

The general average given below shows a considerable decrea?e in the conditions as compared with July. While the dam age has been considerable, yet with favor able weather, such as that of this week the real conditions may improve from now on.

Resolutions endorsing Mc Kinley were offered aud adopted aud signed unanitcously. This brought into line James H. Y'oung, who had bolted for Bryan and Watson. The Republicans say Senator Trite-hard is leader without being boss, and that Senator Butler is now boss without being leader. Chairman Manly says the Democratic party in the Stale is in fine fettle. He seems to he in high spirits: The Republicans think they have split the Populist party. They think this is the l ist 3ear ol its existince. Senator Butler is smiling and serine. He has been up nearly all night every night this week. Yesterday he and W. A. Guthrie took a nap lying on the same bed. Butler left for the east this morniug. He will be at Washington Monday, and regular open headquarters. Loge Harris confessed thi3 morning that veteran politician as he is, he does no know "where he is at.'' Butler and Pritchard have nothing to do with each other. Butler snid he did not known Pritchard was he-re. Butler and Harry Skinner were at the table together yesterday. People looked at them and asked: "Do they speak to each other ?" They did speak, but quite formally. Skinner was this morning asked his view of the situation: With a chilling smile he said: "No amount ol legerdemain or jug gling will prevent the State of North Carolina from going for Bryan.'' This was a hit at Butler and the Populist Re publican deal. The Republicans who oppose the work of their State committee say it puts the burden of .the campaign on Russell and Rough IleBderson. There was really a desire to have Russell come down, but he was too proud to do that. The negroes will fight Harrv Skinner because of what they construe to be an I attack on them. This was Skinner's ele- n.irflti0n as chairman of the Ponulist r . , , . . , t- convention that the Popu t party wa for white supremacy. ! The negroes meet here September 17th i in State convention. They do this annual- j ly. mostly for political purposes. j The Populists wanted to use Oliver II. j Dockery's name for Lieutecant governor j either to split the Republican vote or j force the Republicans to fuse on the State : v j ticket. Dockery wants to go to the L. S. 1 . . Slpiinln Tl l cniit Ttntler u-nnti to sp 1 him there. Butler would go to great length to defeat Pritchard. The Popu- lists want to build up a strong Republican ; I followiu and out of this get the baiance ! of power iu the Legislature. The Repub I a light, wis stabbed to death by .Michael beans are tiying the double game of , Kelley, of Brookdale. Kelley has been ar-checkma-ing the Populists and fotcing : rested. their vote.

Secretary Hymanssays: "Russell is on tl)e ,rack tn gt .;, 0ther committeemen said: "Really there was never any pur pose to take Russell down." But as be fore stated, many of the rank and file, particularly tbose who oppose Russell, believe the contrary. Chairman Ed JohnsOD of the Repub lican Congressional district committee said tod8y that the situation had chnnged and that he does not now lelieve the committee will endorse W. F.
