FROM THE CAPITOL OF OUR STATE Paragraphs of What the Democrats and Others are Doing. April 19, 1904. What a Jealous, selfish old world thia is! And how many of the jealous, selfish, vindictive, quarrel some oM cats there are in the Demo cratic party—some of them essay- Tag to be "leaden" and conduc tors general of the party "manage ment," but who are in reality the worst kind of stumbling blocks, scattered along the road to Suc cess. and impeding the progress of the party at every step. • s • A week ago all ahades of Demo crats (except a few of Hearst's speel binders snd an occasional Clevelandite who insist on the "old man" again) were congratulating each other that the way had opened for all to agree on "a good, clean, unobjectionable and available can didate" to quit, Judge Parker. Now some of them are rushing into print to declare that they ate not so certain that be is the right man, after all. And why ? Simply and solely because Mr. Cleveland has added his endorsement of Judge Parker to that of other eminent party men. On the other hand, there appear to be equally as many on whom Mr. Cleveland's approval seems to have had just the opposite effect, and accordingly many have joined the Parker forces who up to that time had hesitated to do so. Result: It uot only still looks like Parker, but the pros]>ects point even more decidedly to him than they did a week or two ago. » * s I want to sny all the good I can about our several most excellent candidates for Governor. In this letter therefore is copied the follow ing extract from a strong editorial in last week's Reidsville Weekly: "Major Steadman possesses ele ments of strength peculiarly his own. lie has wisdom and conser vatism born of experience. He >is a man of commanding ability, of scholarly attainments, and exem plifies in his life and character the highest ideals of citizenship. He would have been nominated for governor in 1888 but for the feel ing that Judge Fowle had been put off by the politicians till further delay would be a grievous injustice. He has patiently bided his time till now, when the way is open, and the rank and file feel that it is just ly his turn. His candidacy will do more to unify the party than that of any other man; for he is a con servative leader, and has never been mixed up in any fractional quarrels nor made himself offensive to any dais whose support the party needs. He went into the war, shirked no danger, and laid down bis sword only when General Lee surrendered. Since the war he has always been as true to North Carolina and his people as he was in the camp, on the march and in the shock of battle." * • * Governor Ay cock's committee, recently appointed by him to inves tigate and make a report on the conduct and condition of the A. & N. C. Railroad and its affairs, in cluding the Atlantic hotel at More head, is now at woik in earnest, and the report is awaited with much interest by the public. In the mean time the Governor has nothing to Bm fir CMMru The pleasant to take and harmless One Minute Cough Cure gives im mediate relief in all casei of Cough, Croup, and LaGrippe because it does not pass immediately into the stomach, but takes effect right at the seat cf the trouble. It draws out the inflammation, heals and soothes and cures permanently by enabling the lungs to contribute pure life-giving and life-sustaining oxygen to the blood and tissues. One Minute Cough Cure is pleas ant to take and it is good alike for young and old. Sold by Anderson, Crawford & Co. A Blue X Mark in the Square B* Tt* □ means that your Subscription Ends with this Issui say in regard to the lease of the road, and apparently will take no further action with regard to that proposition until the pending in vestigation has been completed. • * -• There is a great deal of interest manifested in the future develop ments and final outcome of the controversy between Judge Peebles and the lawyers of the Lumbertou bar who recently refused to try any cases before him. Judge Pee bles is scheduled to preside at the next term of Robersan court also, which is set for May, and his friends sav he cannot afford to con sent to an exchange of courts with any other judge. If he does not do so, and in the mean time takes no official action concerning the recent action of the bar there, will the latter again refuse to set a calen dar for the trial of cases? And if so, what will be the result? • * * The body of Col. W. A. Turk, passenger traffic manager of the Southern Railway, was brought to Raleigh today (Monday) for inter ment. He formerly resided here, and twenty three years ago was married to Miss Mary Mordccai of Raleigh. He was a native of Vir ginia, where he was bora fifty four years ago, in Augusta county. Col. Turk died in Washington, D. C , last Saturday night, of pneu monia, after an illness of only three days. * * * The first clearing house associa tion in North Carolina was organ ized by the bankers of Raleigh a few days ago. * * * The second of the annual banquets given in honor of the Governor of North Carolina by the wealthy "Yankees" who spend the winter and early spring an Pinehurst, the famous Moore county resort, was held last Friday night at that place. Governor Aycock (who made such a pleasing effect upon the visitors a year ago) was present, with his staff, and the affair was a grand and most enjoyable one. » * * The announcement two weeks ago that the friends of Senator Joseph A. Brown ot Columbus present him to the convention for the nomination for lieutenant Gevernor has met with a most flattering reception with the people and press of the State. There are now three candidates in the field for this honor —Senator Brown, ex judge Francis Winston and Repre sentative George Morton. ft * ' ft It is understood that Judg George H. Brown will be nomina ted without opposition as one of the candidates for Supreme Court Justice. The other nominee will come from the west and Judge Hoke and Justice and Mr. i/och hart of Ansou (and possibly others) furnish the list from which to make the selection. The retiring Justices are Judges Montgomery and Douglas—the last of the fusiou Rep —Pops. Some of the prominent visitors to Raleigh from the western part of the State say the Demociatic party is not in as good condition there as it ought to be, but that the danger is probably confined to county and Senatorial and legisla tive nominees, and to a lesser degree in two or three Congressional dis tiicts.
