DEMOCRATIC TICKET. -
For Judge First District Geo. H.
Brown, of Beaufort.
For Solicitor First District Geo.
W. Ward, of Pasquotank.
For Congress First District Jno.
XI. Small, of Beaufort.
For State Senate Second District
II. S. Ward, of Washington. J.
W. Miller, of Pamlico,
The Democrats did the proper act
when they nominated II. S. Ward
und J. W. Miller for Senatorial hon
ors, we will explain why later.
It was with regret that all North
Carolinians learned of the death of
Judge Edward T. lioykin, which oc
curred very suddenly at Dunn on
the 27th. Ue was one of the shin
ing lights of this State, he served for
several years a3 a Superior Court
Judge and by his fair and impartial
rulings won an enviable reputation.
At the time of his death- he was out
making a, telling campaign for the
Democratic party.
The Populist Congressional Con
vention, held at Edenton last week,
nominated Hon. Harry Skinner . for
Congress and the Republicans at the
same time and place endorsed him.
This wa3 expected and desired by the
leaders who are seeking pie, but it. is
evideut that it was not the wish of
the honest masses of the Populist
party. Mr. Skinnerjias proved un
true to the people who-first nomina
ted him, he has shown that hir sole
purpose is to hold office.
Those who have frequently atten
ded district conventions declare that
the-Democratic Congressional Con
vention held in Edenton on Tuesday
last, was the most enthusiastic and
harmonious that has been held in the
district for years. A gentleman who
viewed the audience from the stand
remarked that he could see from the
expression on the faces of these intel
ligent representatives of the white
voters of the 1st District, that they
were determined that they had met
for a purpose, and that purpose was
to nominate a man who could defeat
Harry Skinner, who in his greed for
office has Ion?; since forgotten the
party that first nominated him, the
man, who for gain, has ignored the
pleadings of his oppressed people
and sold his birth-right to the gold
bugs.
We believe the honest voters who
want fair and just legislation, and
especially those who have been f tfo
basely deceived by Mr. Skinner, mill
giaaiy welcome eucn a eanuiaiyte as
Jno. II. Small, but of this candidate
we will say more later.

CONGRESSIONAL
VENTION.
CON-
This Convention of the Democrats of
the First District was called to order at 3
o'lock Tuesday afternoou in the town of
Edenton by J. Bryant Grimes, of Pitt, who
presided in tbd abscnoe of Chairman Hod
man, On motion, W. H. Lucas, of Hyde, was
made permanent Chairman, and H. L,
King, of King's Weekly, was made perma
nent Secretary, with 0. V. W. Auebon, of
the Roanoke Beacon, assistant.
On motion the Committees on Perma
nent Organization aud Credentials was
dispobed of and the Committee on Plat
form retired.
While this committee was oat Hon.
W. M. Bond entertained the convention
with a speech which fairly gleamed with
white supremacy and jingled with white
metal.
The Committee on Platform reported aa
follows:
"We reaffirm the platform of the Demo
cratic party adopted at the National Con
vention held at Chicago, and the platform
adopted by the State convention.
'That the vital question involved in the
contest in the State, and especially in this
Congressional District is the supremacy of
the white man. Tho conditions which
now exist are intolerable, aud threaten in
Eastern North Carolina the very existence
and fabric of society and to AiVicanize one
of the fairest portions of the State. Many
of its towns and counties are in the grasp
and control of ignorant and corrupt negroes
who demand still further power and privi
leges. "We call upon all white men to forget
past differences and to unite tor the preser
vation of our institutions aud society and
for he protection of our homes and fire
sidefe." Nominations beiug in order Mr, Aber
nathy placed in nomination Col. W. II.
Lucas, who arose and beggert to be excused
owing to his inability to do justice to the
campaign, whereupon Mr. Abemathy then
placed in nomination that gifted son of old
Beanfort, John H. Small, Eq. This nom
ination was seconded by so many that it
looked as if bis nomination would be
nuanimous before it could be put to the
convention.
Hon. W. D. Pruden arose and offered
the name of Hertford's talented lawyer, B
B. Winborn, Esq., whici brought forth a
great number of seconds, and one could
not tell which of the two were the most
popular.
On motion a ballot was taken, bui before
the first ballot could be counted Mr, Pruden
received a message from Mr. Winborn, who
was unable to be in the convention, to
withdraw his name, which was done, and
on motion of Mr. irruden the nomination
of Mr. Small was made unanimous.
In addition to the address of Mr. Bond,
the convention was entertained by speeches
from Col. W. II. Lucas and Col. W. F
Beasley during its session. These stalwart
champions of the Democratic party were
enthusiastic and pointed.
On motion the following were ramed as
the Congressional Executive Committee
for the First District, after which the con
vention adjourned :
W. B. Kodman, of Beaufort : L. F.
Wright, of Camden ; Dr. C. M. Mason, of
Carteret ; 0. S. Vann, of Chowan ; E. R.
