' General Lingleton, who s represented j the district, was opposed by Wike and Vrithers, and the delegates were so evenly divided between the three c r restants that the convention was at a deadlock almost from the out set. Neither party would yield, and U.3 battle continued for live days, when 1,301 ballots . had lieen taken. The convention - then ad jonrned until August 8 to , meet at Eeardstown. On reassembling the f ght was continued with the same rrsyielding stubbornness. On Au gust 9 the 1,450th ; ballot was or dered. It resulted:- Singleton, 2G; Wike, 22; Withers, 22. The 1,520th ballot was reached without a change. On the l21st the first break 5 oc curred, resulting in the ; defeat of General Singelton and the nomina tion of Mr. J. MRiggs. - " The Democrats of the 'Second congressional district of Wisconsin 1: ave recently broken a deadlock wL ich fias leen even more prolonged and has resulted in a larger number of ballots.- The convention met at West Beutt September 6, the -con testants leing General -Bragg and Delaney.. rourteeu- , votes . were cast for each at the balloting.

At that point the convention adjourned un til Fridayi : On the first ballot Mr. Charles T.JDeissner castrtiis ' vote, and two proxies whichIiB held, for Mr. D. II. Sn miner, of Waukesha. This was all that was needed to ef fect a break. Others ' followed in Mr. Deissnerswake, afld Sumner was nominated on the 1,601st bal lot. - - V", Xin& Corn- : A few weeks ago it was deter mined by concurrent reports Irom all parts of the country - that the erop of all the small grains, and es pecially of wheat, was to be the best the country has ever known Bat the same reports were "shaky" on com. ".The weather in the fore part of the season had been singu larly cold and. unfavorable, and the crop was backward in consequence and. its outcome depended altogeth er on, what the weather for the re m ainder of the season might be. . ; These J depressing I reports had hardly been made up before we struck a streak of "corn weather" that, has lasted pretty nearly ever since. A fervent sun, interspersed with sufificient showers,!" has f done the work for corn, as well as for the other grains, and J the 'significant dropping of prices in the : Chicago market from day to day, notwith standing the alleged "corn corner," shows that the keen-scented and keen-eved speculators ' realize that a big corn crop is coming. But it cannot be very largely in the mark et for a couple of months, and as the stock of old corn is small,, pri ces may to a considerable extent be maintained for some time yet, not withstanding the tendency of our markets to rapidly; discount all ex pected results. ' - '' -:v A temporary holding up of the price canbe endured in view of the conceded fact that the corn crop is to be above the average and must sooner or later come forward. There are, too, other importan t results to be looked for . from ' a good corn crop. ' Aoout as mucn corn nuus iu wav to - market on the hoot as through the elevators. . It is turned into meat by the western farmers, by which ineans they make ; a sec ond profit , off r their corn fields. There is no other such bee t and pork producer either for quantity or oualitv as the Indian corn of -M. . - - . . ' - - the United Suites. T ; A bountiful corn crop means cheap meat - and gowl meat. .It also means cheap food and good food for the tillers of the soil, especially in the. South, The practical settlement on the right side of the; question of a good corn crop is an event of a hundred times more important to every rea der of these lines than the Egyp tian war or the whole pack of State Conventions put together. .. .

Nurth Carolina 1 Politico. ' r; ' (New York Herald.) - ? So far the campaign has devel oped no new popular speaker - and comparatively little, entnusiasm. Democratic Chairman' Coke de clined to recognize the chairman of the liberals, and no joint canvass has been agreed upon, as the Re publicans claim full recognition for their allies and declare -the " demo cratic punetillid arrogant and ri diculous However that may be the voters are disappointed. Noth ing is dearer to the average .North Carolinian's heart than a joint can vass. It is a kind of political prize fisrht under rules, as well founded in custom as the Marquis of Qneensberry's- and every voter has an abiding faith that his cham pion can punish and does punish his oniKnent at every round. Yahee and Settle had a memorable canvass in 1S7G, and opinion is as div-ided'todav as to who came off eonqueror as it was when the, con test closed. CANDIDATES. Judge Bennett has disappointed his admirers. .rjThe Democrats pre dieted wonders from his eloquence and the people stood tiptoe lor a lonirwhile to hear Inra, but the wonders were not worked and ex peetationfwearies of that uncom iortable iiosition. lie is veryirreg ular. To-day he is bright, witty and forcible; to-morrow dull, heavy, ansrular and flat. ,' But he will get his party's vote. Mr. Dockery, in the language of Tom Keogh, who was secretary of the National Ex ecutive. Committee under Don Cameron, "makes more able speech es and .fewer : converts " than any canvasser yet discovered." When Mr. Dockery gets down to the poli tics of to-day he will be interesting, because he is a man ot ability and has the knack of catching the pop ular ear. At present be is engaged m the antiquarian art of reconcil in g his hearers to the Clay tariff. But he will get his party's vote The candidates for judges of the courts observe the proprieties o judicial life and keep dignified si lence. If they canvass they do at, "unbeknownst" t6 each other and tri vniip rivrrfisnondfint. In the several Congressional dis tricts the canvass is progressing with more or less warmth and in terest. In tire First V district La-J tham, the sitting member, has .the! whip nana oi Jfooi jKepuDiicans ue cause of the county government is sue. The, eastern counties are afraid to put local affairs in the hands of the ' negroes, in counties where they have a majority. They tried it from 1868-1875. Hence their debts. The white vote will bo full and solid, on account of a fear, well worked upon, - of negro supremacy.""" He will have', the us ual majority of 500. In the Second district the, contest is between James E. O'llara, ne gro, and Orlando Hubbs (rep.), sit: ting member. " Both claim the reg ular Republican nomination, The Convention broke up in great dis order, with popular feeling in fa vor of O'Hara, but it has since been- ." reconvened and indorsed Ilebbs. A solution of the matter is under tsonsideration by the Re publican committee now. O'Hara is offered 5?000 to surrender his claim and give a quit claim to the privilege to Hubbs. He holds out, it is said, lor lull pay, $1U,UUU, as he asserts" his entire confidence in his capacity to win . Hub bs doesn't see any margin for profit in sueh a deal fohim, and higgles over the hard bargain that the al ways'oppressed colored man and brother seems disposed to drive with him. If this family quarrel is not healed a democratic dark house will slip in by a neck. The Repub lican majority in this dictrict is an unchallenged 5,000. In the Third district Caniiady, a verteran officeholder and the manipulator of the State's vote for John Sherman in the Chicago Con vention, is opposed . by Colonel Wharton Green. There is a fair Democratic majority of 1,500 which Waddell had at his back for a num ber of years, but Of late party ties have hung loose, and as Cannady is a clever, bold and untiring worker a round thousand majority for Green ought to do his ultra Democratic heart good to its core and will, no doubt, if he gets it. In the Fourth district a melan choly, commonplace campaign will end with the usual Democratic majority of 1,400 for General Cox, the present member. Mr. Dev eroux, the liberal candidate, has developed no power as a campaign er and can expect nothing but the Republican vote promised him. As this is a minority it is difficult to see its substantial value. In the Filth district Scales, who, like Nat Macon, generally votes against all appropriations except for public buildings for his own peculiar district will succeed him self by an increased majority. In-the Sixth district the "scarlet head sitting member, Mr. Dowd, will hold his pwn. Since Editor Jones has given up his independent candidacy in this district there is none to make him afraid. Mr. Dowd talked with your correspon denc iu early -summer about the feeling of unrest among the young Democrats in his district, and appreciates, if he has not forgotten it, the necessity ot attaching this class to him. If he succeeds in doing this he is safe; if not he is comparatively safe, but his major ity will make him ashamed. In the Seventh district ex-Congressman Robbins (Democrat) and Dr. Tyre York are contestants for Armlield's seat. Dr. York is the onlj' convert M ho has any personal following worth the writing it down. Dr. York's candidacy was predicted in the Herald, It was denied in the country iournals, but i when the twin conventions labored simultaneously in the little rugged mountain village of Yadkinvillc the babj- was named York. I le was a rdugh and J ready horse sense country doctor, who changed the color of his tentorial district's politics by his personal popularity, and can as e;ily let it drift back to its Republican habits of thought and ballot. -Robbins is and able man, - ablebodied, as his - recent knock-downs with young Mott will vouch, as well as clever in speech. He stood well in Congress untill beaten for the nominetion in 1878 by Governor Armfield. , In the Eighth district of course General Bob Vance will be his own successor, as he has been for a half dozen terms. He will have a ma jority of anywhere between three and six thousand. His zeal at camp meetings during his vacation is only equalled by his assiduous attentions to the department during the sessions of Congress. He has established more post offices than any living Congressman. While this is not perhaps the highest occupation of a member of Congress, at the same tune it helps at election times more than many unspoken speeches. THE LEGISLATUBE. The Legislature of 1S81-2 stood Senate, thirtj'-elght Demecrats, twelve Republicans; House, seventy-four Democrats, forty-four Re publicans, two independents. The State was so gerrymandered in 1870 that the Senate will under almost all circumstances remain Demo cratic. The Democrats will lose some little this year, and thirty Democrats and twenty Republicans and independents will approximate the strength of parties on a division in the upper house. This change will be effected by. small losses in districts that are very close, and where, the absence of very great excitement will give the advantage to the Republicans, who always come out and always vote. With good luck the Democrats will elect half the next House of Representa tives. v This will be a loss of four teen and a gain of that number for the Republicans. This gain will not be a net Republican gain, as a number of these independents will bo independent enough to keep on voting with the Democrats on mat ters of general policy. UNITED STATES SENATOBSHIP. If the republicans carry tha elec tion ex-Collector Mott will, of mere course, be United states senator instead of Ransom. This is not likely to occur, and it may be safely said that on joint ballot the next Legislature will be democratic or under democratic control. Who is to be Senator? Ransom has the best chance and is working in a surprising fashion for Ransom. But Vance is working as hard as Ransom, it is suggested.. For whom is he working! For Ransom? Vance is the junior Senator, and Senators are ambitious of prece dence. It is a Senatorial vanity. Does he prefer Governor Jarvis? Will Jarvis, who has a great and growing hold on the State give place to 'Ransom for this once? These personal ambitions will all have to be settled. But it is1 pre mature to discuss them. All these democrats are hard at work to make it possible to settle them among themselves, otherwise Dr. Mott will settle it for them all in a way they despise. EEPUBXICAN3 OE DEMOCEATS? V The republicans are very hopeful. So are the democrats. The demo erats win by force of numbers. They are as ignorant ol organization us Arabi's army. The republicans are always organized. They have 105,000, negro voters. They always vote. Garfield had 115,878, votes in 1880. Of this number 11,000 were white republicans. Hancock had 124,204 votes' The Presidential vote is taken because no personal consideration eould ihove here and the party strength is best illus trated.-Tne .Democrats nave a margin of 8,"i20 plurality against if the' feeling is against them. II the ..parties poll their relative number of -ballots, and there is a defection of 5,000 Demo crats or liberals in the ninety-six counties ol the State, the Democrats are done for unless there is a cor responding defection from the Re publicans ranks. Will there be? Sanguine Democrats say that the negroes will not be enthusiastic enough over the liberals to vote with any vim and spirit. These are very sanguine Democrats. But there is a class of Republicans, Quakers in the Piedmont tier of counties, who are weary of bosses and whose patience is fatigued with being hawked about year af ter year to suit the whims and con veniences of leaders. Will they do Mott's bidding? Colonel Keogh says they will not. He says so in his paper. If they do not the stieugth of parties will remain as heretofore. But Quakers, even when Republicans, generally fall into line on election day. The chances are that the Republicans will gain in legislators, one or two Congressmen and probably one judge. But two months lie between now aud the day of election and in that time the bosses may disgust more liberals and lessen their chances of success. Besides a good crop year is a very bad j'ear for for changing parties. The State is prosperous. "Why change?"' say the democrats. The State Campaign.- (Wilmington Star.) General Cox will make" nine speeches in Granville. Price had 30 negroes and 15 whites to hear him at Kocky Mount. E. F. Lovell has been nominated for the Senate from Alleghany and Watauga counties. W. 11; Bower is the nominee for the House iu Caldwell county, and A. Branch in Beaufort. '"Ylarmaduke S. Bobbins and B. AY. Speed have been selected to represent Bandolph in the House. Mr. C. M. Cooke's speech at Halifax is characterized by the Wei don Keirs "as wise and effect ive.' That Col. Johnston will be Mai. Dowd's opponent, is now pretty generally conceded by those who have been watching the corks. Charlotte Observer.

Senor Adolfo Marqnez Sterling, a distinguished Cuban journalist and lawyer, sailed yesterday on the Canada, on his way to Spain. In regard to the condition and pros pects of Cuba, Senor Sterling said: 'I am of the opinion that the colo ny has nothing more to hope for from even an angelic Government at Madrid. Outrages, corruption, and mismanagement are as ram pant as ever. The Madrid Gov ernment is daily drawing upon the Cuban. Treasury to make up defi ciencies there occurring. The Governor has declared Cainaguey and Cuba in a state of siege, so as to clear the country of lawless char acters left by the war, and without trial exile them to the penal colony on the coast oi Alrica. "The native element is ill at ease and would hail any movetneut fairly promising a quick deliver ance from the state of transition, so protracted, either to independ ence or annexation to this country. "Having lost the European mar kets for its sugar, and diiveu the manufacture of cigars into the United States, the island has only the American market for its su gars. Even this may not last long, if the sugar-making industry de velops in your Southern States as it promises to do. Then the United States will soon become an exporter and the island will be traded off by Spain as a good rid dance. "Every thinking person in Cuba knows that there is no loophole j out of our financial embarrass- j nients, and everybody is making: hav while the sun shines.'' .V. 1". ; ; Sun. : o 3.... Husband Iluntinsr.l,! .,, -. : The season's husband fishery t at the summer resorts,says the Phila delphia Times, is generally reported a failure. One reason why." the fishery failed was . that the bait was too gorgeous. While if com pelled admiration, it dazzled those who admired " it. Its glitter was beautiful, but a glance at it was enough to drive the. poor fellows away with feelings of tthanfulness for their, escape. Wfcile plainer and less expensive girls meet their mates, the elegantly overdressed J lady remains solitary. 11 tue gin who is iisuHig tor a husband makes any mistake it is that of thinking that the young man who is lookingfor a wife wants a costly piece of goods for show. Some young men want this, but there are few who can afford it and even those who can are in many in stances alraid to yoke themselves to it. They know that a too showy young woman, even if she has wealthy parents, is apt to be full of troublesome whims and notions very difficult to satisfy. Even if they be so sordid that they would like to many for money, these young men know enough to reflect that riches sometimes take wings and go out of sight. They stop and consider that if there be wealth and whims, when the wealth flies away and leaves nothing but the whims, the residue is an exceedingly un desirable piece of finery. Every summer there is a com plaint of the lack of young men at the watering-places. This year the complaint is louder than ever. One of the reasons is that the extrava gant display made by some of the girls frightens them away. They can not afford such expensive lux uries as these girls appear to be. Thev go fishing, or boating, hunt ing by themselves, or take long pedestrian tours out of the reach of the girls. The girls meanwhile sit on the fashionable hotel W)i ticos with their papas and mammas, and lament and wonder. The girl who lets nature take its course: who avoids putting herself on exhibition as if for sale; who makes no more display than is con sistent with gracefulness, beauty, and good (mmon sense, is reason ably sure of one of two things. Either she will make a delightful wife for some sensible and worthy man, or else sue will turn out a happy and lovely old maid. Better be a nice spinster than an unloved wife, married for money or show. A Hot Springs'" Alitor Killed Little Rock, Sept. 22. In Hot Springs this morning Charles Mat thews, editor of the Hornet, was shot four times and killed iu an af fray with Col. S. W. Fordyce, Vice President of the St. Louis and Tex as Narrow Gauge Railroad Compa ny, and Col. Rugg, one of the pro prietors of the Arlington Hotel. It is not known whether Fordyce or Rugg fired the fatal shot. The trouble grew out of a bitter news paper controversy over local affairs. Fordyce returned to Hot Springs on Tuesday evening, after a trip along the line of the Railroad. Bennett wins applause wherever he goes. The people up the coun try consider him equal to Vance, which is saying a great deal. Sal isbury Watchman. Kinston Advertisements.
