If it -is. in Lewisron. then the delegates are sail trom Boxobel. This meeting was held in Precinct "No. 1, and was composed of Bro;. James M. 'Earley, of Aulander Bro. James E. Tadlook, of Precinct No. 2; , & brothers Joseph & wain, A. W. Snell, John Tarkington, Jos eph Tarkirgton, and R. E. Tark ington, of Washington County, but now sojourning in Precinct ro. 2. So it will lie seen at a'1 rglance, that the conditions oi membership were fulfilled. Then 'too, there is always a spirit of brotherly love and fraternity in vsuch meetings. Generally this Tallin gof one another brother is. nideal, evolveaout of the Omaha platform , and relates to an -em- of universal peace. B"t in this "in stance, the. ideal gave wav to the t4nd real substantial; and make the title of brother secure in warne ?ancl in tact, the uonTention was: composed mainly of Bro. A. W. Snell, and his three brothers-in- ;law. The returns from Wash 'ington County all being in, Bro. . -A.'W. Snell called the meeting to order and asked Bro. J. M. Early to state thv oliject of the ; vcf the meeting. 15 ro. tiarly arose with a.nt ex- - . iression-of? longing on his face. here peeraed to be a void in hia oration. The- absence of Bro. Ben Askewfrom town must have caused a palh to. settle over the . .'sky of his oratory." At any rate Bro. Ben was absent and Bro. - Early could not get up' a full - ftiead of steam. He accounted ! . 11 ' Jtil - '1 . ' .J - . . ' i . .." 'the ground that they were all at Jhome busy; 'This is the favorite dodge of the Populist,' when he arises to add reL's a thousand, and . rsees a half dozen of his followers 'present. The absent are all 1 . Jbusy.1 After .this self-accusation that.thoso prlsent were loafers ;and , idlers, Bro. Early stated Hhai' the object of the meeting was Jto or gan i ze th e town shi p. .Bro.

Early's own - person- sality did hot evoke tremehderous applause. It seems that every ne present had formed that idea i him in advance. The Ion ng look of his eye . plainly told that Bro. Ben had not arrived.

What a fine spectacle these two gentle men fleeing from political perse cution and -bosses. : Our citizens learned that Pre cinct No. 1, did not contain a Ponulist in it. The Lord be praised. Manv rears :ago p. certain Ite publican candidate 4b r Sheriff, it isaid, expected a big swelling of his vote in Bertie County, when the returns from 'Plymouth came in. It may, be that .his success in that direction has em boldened the Populists of Pre cinct No, 2, tonmport from Wash ington Co., five sixth of the mem bers when they, 'meet in Precinct No. 1. The whole thing was a farce It was however tnme tind harmless. There will be a meeting of tiie Democratic Executive Committee ot tins the Second Congressional District at.
