MUNICIPAL DEMOCRATIC CONTEIV- TIOIV. Col. Cook Renominated. Henry Bland Found. There is great rejoicing at the Bucket Factory to-day. A message came over the telephone from Spout Springs yester day evening that a boy giving: his name &s Henry Bland from Fayetteville had been found wondering about in a dazed condition near there. The Mayor telephoned back to send him ie on the first train. Meantime the searching party were still during the vicinity of the boy's 'disappearance. ihe only clue they got was from a color-man who said that a boy answering J0QDg Bland's description had passed '"fire earlv T.3 mi -J xucsuay evening, xney round D one else who had seen the boy, and at wey returned, giving him up as lost. iDey marched 5 L , d still heavier hearts, but when J warned that the boy had been found lty shout went un. a - Hen m and ry reaehed here on the freight last m consequence there was great 1, .

Promptly at 8 o'clock last night, Mr. Colin McRae, Chairman of the Democratic Municipal Executive Committee, called to order the General City Convention, whose function is to nominate candidates for Mayor and for the Committee of Audit and Finance, and to pass upen the recom-' mendations of the several Wards for can didates for Aldermen. The first business was the nomination of a Mayor. On mo tion Col. Cook was nomitated by acclama tion. All went on smoothly and as merry as a marriage bell, the action of all the wards being approved and confirmed, until the last, the 7th, was reached. Then Mr Jerry Johnson, one of the candidates for that ward's recommendation for nominees for aldermen, arose and, in a very tem perate speech, declared that he was not satisfied with the result, as the same was made to appear in the publication in Tues day's Observer. With respect to this, we have merely to say that the Observer published the report as sent in by the Secretary. He declared that the chairman of the Ward meeting, Dr. Marsh, had, after the one ballot that was held was counted, de clared Mr. J. B. Underwood, Jr., and Mr. A. B. Raiford, elected, the former having received 17 votes and the latter 12 out of a total of 23, Mr. Johnson receiving 11. Mr.-Johnson said, however, that Dr. Marsh at once corrected his announcement upon the tellers' discovering that their footings were wrong by 10, making the aggregate (for the two names voted ou all but one of the tickets) 57 instead of 47, and reducing Mr. Raiford 's vote to less than a majority of all the votes cast that is, to less than a majority of the half of 47. It having been agreed, before taking the ballot, that a majority vote would bo required to nom inate, Mr. Johnson claimed that another ballot should have been held. He also said that 3 of the votes cast for Mr. Rai ford were of non-residents. He said that the meeting broke up in a row, and that he wanted the matter submitted to the city Executive committee to decide whether anew primary should be held, or what disposition should be made of the matter, pledging himself to abide loyally by the committee's decision, and to work for the Democratic tickets all through. He then called on Dr. Marsh to verify his state ments. The chairman of the convention adding his own request, Dr. Marsh gave, also, a very clear account of the proceed ings, agreeing entirely with Mr. Johnson's, except that he stated that, seeing the ex cited condition of the meeting, he had, upon the miscount being discovered, stated that the chair would hear a motion for dispos ing of the matter without ballot; that a motion that Mr. Raiford's nomination be made unanimous was adopted; and that, for that reason, he supposed, the Secretary had reported Mr. Raiford (as well as Mr. Underwood) the nominee. Mr. Johnson said that was true, but that he and his friends had allowed it to go thafway to avoid a row, knowing that the ratifying convention could settle the matter justly. Therefore, upon motion of Mr. Holland, and after some discussion, it was unani mously decided, in the interest of peace and harmony, so much needed in this campaign, to submit the matter to the city Executive Committee with plenary powers. The committee meets as we go to press, and will decide whether to call another primary or not. Mr. W. L. Hawley placed in nomination for Board of Audit and Finance: Messrs. D.H.Ray, J. D. McNeill and W. P. Powell. Mr. J. A. King's name was put in nomi nation but he declined. The three above named gentlemen were then nominated without a dissenting voice. A strong Light Resolution was then adopted. It is as follows: Resolved, That it i the sense of this meeting that the streets of our city should be lighted with Electric lights, and the nominees of this Convention, if elected, are hereby instructed to work and vote for the accomplishment of this result as speedily as. possible, in accordance with the resolutions adopted in the seeral ward meetings on last Monday night. We congratulate Col. Cook heartily up on his renomination. The unanimity with which his re-nomination for the third time has been made is the best evidence of4the acceptability of his administration. "Merchant" in Town. The Observer had a pleasant call to day from Mr. Moses H. Cone, the gentle man who writes for the Charlotte Observer over the signature of ''Merchant." Tlie editor of the Observer has a very high regard for Mr. Cone, although he feels obliged, once in a while, to whack him (in a newspaper sense) in the political columns of the paper. Mr. Cone, who had just come out from his New York home, was charmed with the profusion of our early developing flow ers and foliage noticeably earlier, also, than at his Greensboro home, via which place he came hither from New York. Fayetteville would be delighted to wel come Mr. Cone as a resident. In build ing his residences about the country, he would find a charming winter climate for one here.
