Heaven is not reached at a single bound Hut we build the ladder by which we rise Frrm the Jowly earth, to the vaulted .skies And we mount to summit ronnd by round I count this thing to be grandly true, That a noble deed is a step toward Uod Lifting the soul from the comraon sod To a purer air and a broader view. VTe rise by the things that are under feet By what we have mastered of creed and gain, By the pride deposed and the passion slain, And the vanquished ills that we hourly meet. We hope, we aspire, we resolve, we trust, When the morning calls us' to life and light; "Ul uur "earia grow weary, and ere the right Our lives are trailing the sordid dust. We hope, we aspire, we resolve, we- pray. And we think that we mount the air on wings, Beyond the recall of sensual things, While our ftet still cling to the heavy clay. Wings for the angels, but feet for the men! We may borrow the wings to find the way; Yv e may hope and aspire and resolve end Pray, But our feet must rise or we fall again. Only in dreams is a ladder thrown From the weary earth to the sapphire walls; ?ut the dieam departs and the vision falls, Ana the sleeper wakes on his pillow of stone. Heaven is not reached by a single bound, But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to the summit, round by round. Selected. Will They Come Back.

At 12:20 Chairman Eave, of the Republican State Executive Com mittee, rapped the convention to order. The call was read, after which Eaves called Jno, ILSchenck, negro of Mecklenburg, to the chair, as temporary chairman. He was escorted up by O'Hars, of the third district, Bnd J A Ramsey, of Rowan. Schenck is a two hundred pound cripple who has "been there before," and knew what was coming. His speech to the convention was sl-ort- expresing, of course, "confidence" in the republican party, claiming for the standard bearers, Harrison and Reid, the appellation, "The glorious sons of liberty." Said that the re publican party was a party of unity unlike the democrats, who were now sticking their tails between their legs and howling." The unity of which he spoke popped out about that time, when he called Jim Young to act as temporary secretary. Oscar Spears, of Harnett, a white delegate, objected on the rouud that there was a contest in Young's county, and in all probability he would be nnseated. Y'oung sprang to his feet and said be had a right to figure, etc., until that committee reported, any rate, and the chairman ruled Spears out of order in a further dis cission. The roll was called for he credentials and all counties re sponded save Bertie, Caswell, Hyde, Mitchell. Northampton, Perqcimans and Transy Ivauia. Spesrs moved that the roll be called or the com mittee, on credentials, one from each congressional district, to be af.uolnt- ed, when the chnlrmai) said thnr uch a procedure would be revolutionary and that he had the committee al ready selected in his vest pocket, as it bad been made out and given to him that the gentleman from Har nett wa? oat of order. He then had the committee announced. Metropolitan hall was perhaps two thirds filled with delegates, and the "city darkle'' occupied seats in the gallery. On t".e rostrum sat a num ber of the lesders, tnd J. C. Prltch ard smiled on from a reserved pew. Cigar smokicg was a fashionable eature and half of the negroes In the hail puffed away with "important dignity." AFTERNOON SESSION. The first business was the report of the committee on credentials. Brady, secretary of committee, step ped forward and reported that the decision in Cumberland case wau, to seat both delegation0, with a devided votej that the EUdgecombe delegation headed by Lee Person be seated; that the Harnett delegation htadtd by O. J. Spears be seated, and that from New Ilanoyer headed by J. II. Young be seited. F. B. Rice, of New Ilanovt-r, protested against the committees action as to that county. He denied that the county conven tion in August had any right under its call to elect delegates to this convention. He declared that this committee had prejudged the ca6e. He ssid that Brady of th? committee could not get four votes ia his own ocuntv. In conclusiou he termed the stated delegates "usurpers" and declraed that if the party wanted harmony and New Hanover's Tote, it must not prejudge this case, other wise there would be trouble. C, P Lockey represented the other side. There a- then a personal wrangle between Price and Lockey. Jas. II, Young called out for "the motion." O'llara bounced to bis feet and shouted at Young : "Y'ou can't say that; if the fight is to come, let it come now. If the Wilmington cus tom houe snd the Charlotte post ollice are to rule this convention, let it be know;.." Up stepped W. E. Henderson, Eaves' mm Fndav,' and started to make some remirss. Loge Harris' voice was heard "Let them have it now if they want it." O'Hara y ailed at Henderson "There is another revenue office; aoother member of the ring." Gieat applause. O'Hara roared in hi3 denunciation of office-holders. He asked if the delegates proposed to longer be the tools of the office-holders. He said that If there were free and fair dis cussion of matters, he and others would abide by the decision of the convention. He demanded that both sides be heard here in the con ventlon, and that none oi tnis "gag law' be allowed. Kc said that the whole programme had tuei; arrived at the Yarbaro boue 1 at nubt. He said that the negro republic!!1 Lad prayed that fcM.'.mj wou! 1 b done here to ormk ep this m'trr.l toubtv government. He declir d that the republicans did not oy mi a - thire with or understand the negroes in the Eastern countiet. The Western republicans demanded that . v - , . .... mc negru D'l'in up lor ins ri;::i'", but this was all they did. A W - st - ri ern republican, by the name of MillikaD, protested against t . Price fi the New Hanover case was prjudgei and "made up." Jas. Young denounced the minority spy ing that iiiea had begged the? county convention to nominate him a dele gte and f-aid Ricf was eerving God and the devil ai the same time. He said that Rire was a democratic t 1 and thai there were others. He tv:d a statement signed by J. I. I)u thy handed him by O'Hara in which Dudley swore that Lockey had asked the editor of the Observer, a republi can paper published in Wilmington, to suppress the call of Eea for the present convention. Baying that if the call was published it would render the delegK,es appointed bv the April convention llietial and they could not represent New Hanover in this convention. Lockev oprung up and said it wa? an "infaroo-n lie.' Young then denounced his opponents There was an attempt to choke off t'ue discussion, aDd Geo. H. White . ljjorously denounced the gag rule which was so apparent. Geo W. Price , of New Hanover, said things must be done fairly. He denounced the method of the convention thas fir as having been "fixed" to order. Chairman Schenck sud thecbah: was gUen the r lit to appoint the com- rnlttee. Prici -oud that the gramme had; been arranged. ro- The negroes, he s?.id, demanded recogm tion and fairness. Lockey said he and Jim Young could get mort negro votes than env men in New Hanover. Young said Price and others on his side had not voted the republican tioket in ten years. He called Price a "boodler." Tiie discussion continued an hour. Uice demanded to be heard on a question of privilege. A great up roar arose and the chairman was ' 'cussed" on every side. Negroes and white men denounced each other Rice shook his liret in Lockey 's face. J. C. L Hcrriss told the chairroan that h could not. rule the con vent'ou, to which the chairman replied : "We dnn'l mind your calling us liars; that don't hurt anybody.'' Great noise and much uproar. "Question" was called for by hundreds of voices and the "question" was rushed op by the ch iirman. Jim Young was "prompter" on every question, and when things dtd'nt suit him he re minded Schenck and Schenck "obey ed orders." The roll call began on the motion made by Rice und the Young delegation was seated by an overwhelming majority. Without further debating, the entire report of the committee was adopted, amid great cheers. Then came more cons fusion. Negro delegates, many of whom, certainly , never Baw the in side of a convention hall before rose to their feet simply "to be heard," and s jme even asked, after the adop tion of the report, that the "com mittee on credentials be heard from." Mr. Blackburn, of Ashe county, the State elector at-large, and perhaps the best young orator in their party- stepped to the front, and, in a fifteen minute speech about the "grand old party," Be&j. Harrison, McKinley, etc., etc., finally moved that Z. V. Walser, of Davidson, be made per manent chairman. Walser was evi dently a favorite and loud cheers went op at his unanimous election. Tne temporary chairman, who was "disgruntled" at the proceedings, inquired the name of the gentlemen with a disconsolate tone, and the in cident created amusement. Perhaps he h?d never heard of Walser before. Again came an amusing incident. Toe temporary chairman called on Messrs. O'Hara Eaves' "Friday," Henderfon to escort the chairman to the rostrum. The Henderson idea didn't suit Jim Young and he arose and gave another order that Black barn should be substituted for Hen derson, and Schenck acquiesced in tne suggestions, d. vv. rarner was made permanent secretary with Young and Lehmnn assistants. Walser's speech of acceptance was on the regular line with a bitter des nnnciation of the democratic party and press, and a particularly strong enlo?v of the third nartv.
