At 11:30 o'clock thin morning the populist state convention met at Metropolitan hall. Marion Butler, the part;' chairman, called it to order. J. U.Lloyd called the mil of counties. It ix thought about 400 delegates are preseut, a few of these being colored. Kev. S. O. Norris offered prayer, and Butler upoke. He said that he had called toorder the Brat populist conven tion two years ago and that the party's strength had since doubled and it had never lost a man. J. B. Lloyd was made temporary chairman, J. W. Den mark temporary secretary. Committees on credentials and permanent organi zation were appointed. While these were out Harry Skinner spoke for half an hour. He said the party must nominate only the ablest and purest men for stale treasurer and supreme court jus tices. Prof. John Graham, of Ridge way, was made permanent chairman, and populist editors secretaries. Most of the counties were found to be prop erly represented. Graham in taking the chair said he hoped the convention indicating justices of the supreme court would go outside of partisan politics. At 1 o'clock the conven tion took an hour's recess. Marion Butler says it will rapidly dispose of business when it reassembles. The convention met again at 2.25. It was stated that there were con teats from Buncombe and Haywood counties. A report was made that they be represented according to their certificates and that there ba no prox ies in this contention. A committee on platform was appointed, one from tach congressional district, as follows: Harry Skinner, Marion Butler, J. . Fowler, W. F. Stroud, A. S. Peace. J. M. McKinnon, J. H. Sherrill, R. 8. Pat ton, J. M. Candler. , This committee remained out a considerable time. There were calls for Buck Kitch en, W. A. Guthrie and Mr. Thome. Mr. Guthrie made some remarks. . He wanted the convention to know whertr he stood. Two years ago, while he was out of the state, he was tendered by the populists -here the highest office in their gift. He declined the nomination, but was very grateful for the honor conferred. He said the populists had no gift he would accept in this campaign, but that he stood on the people's party platform with both feet. He said he intended to take the stamp for popu lism. This was greeted with a burst of applause, and Nat Macon said to him: "Come to Franklin county and you shall have all the chicken pie you want." He gave some advice, this being to nominate no populists for the supreme court, but to say to republi cans and democrats:- "We will-endorse two men from each of your parties." Make the judiciary above party. The committee on platform re ported, though Marion Butler. The report declares for free coinage, 16 to 1. Denounces the repeal of the coinage of silver. ' Reaffirms the state and national populist platform of 1802. Denounce the refusal to use the sil ver a well as the gold dollar. Favors repeal of national banks and the issue of treasury notes, these to be a legal tender for all debts. Denounces both the republicans and democrats for con tracting the currency and for issuing interest-bearing bonds in time of peace. Denounces the McKinley tariff bill and the pending tariff bill, and the tax on sugar aud other necessaries, terming the pending tariff bill as a cowardly makeshift for tariff reform. Favors a graduated income tax. Favors t laws against dealing in future. Declares that state rather than national platforms should ' govern representatives,.: where the platform conflict opposes foreign im migration. Opposes monopolies, sym pathises with the oppressed, but op poses rioting or anything else not in strict compliance with the laws. At y-Yacksths administration and congress for debauchery and riotous living, and . jfointa with prlda to the little band of .. ..,....,.1..r..,.. . j uii Mt wnTwr iiiwiiii iii in' populitta at Washington. Favors four months public schools. Condemns dem ocrats for failure to enforce the anti trust law and the laws against broken banks. Favors a reformatory. Con demns the last legislature for lavish expenditure and for its failure to col lect back taxes. Condems election methods of democrats in 1802 in cer tain counties as the party of fraud, and demands changes in the election law. Kx-Gov. Curtis H. Brogden said he wished to offer a resolution condemn ing the course of president Cleveland in "trampling on state rights." The platform was adopted by a ris ing vote. The committee on platform was instructed to retire and present to the convention the names of four person. for the supreme court. The committee reported the follow ing names; presented the following resolutions: "We declare our intention to cast our votes for W. T. Faiicloth for chief justice; Walter Clark, associate justice, to succeed himself; 1). M. Furches to Bucceed judge MacRae, and H. G. Connor to succeed judge Harwell." Ex-gov. Brogden expressed his great pleasure to see this convention en dorse Faircloth and Furches. S'ricken "With Paralysis. The many friends of 31a j. R. S. Tucker, both here aud elsewhere, will be pained to hear of his having been stricken with paralysis. Fortunately the paralysis is only partial and at last accounts Maj. Tucker was much better and resting esily. He has been iu bad health for some time, having only recently returned from a trip north for treatment. The Visitor. joins with his relatives and friends in hoping for his speedy recovery. Organization of Roller Flour Mills. There will be a meeting of the sub scribers to the capital stock of the roller flour mills tomorrow at 6 p. m., at the office of R. T. Gray, esq., for the purpose of organizing, the re quired amount of stock having been subscribed. Those who cannot attend will please send their written proxies to either J. A. Mills, J. A. Jones or (. W. Barbee. Base Ball. The chances now are that Raleigh will have, what she has not had in some years, a first-class ball team. Pursuant to a call about forty lovers of the game met last evening in the Y. M. C. A. hall to organize an athletic association. The organization was effectei as follows: F. H. Brinig, cap tain; Ham F. Smith, manager, and Edgar Bronghton, secretary and treas urer. Great interest was manifested throughout the evening. Mr. Brinig has not been living among us long enough to be generally known as a ball player, but is, never" theless, what is known as a "corker." He was at one tiifie catcher on the' Louisville association team and later played on the Knoxville, Temi., team Mr. Smith has been associated with every athletic venture here since the state association was formed in 1884, and will make an excellent and enthu siastic manager. Committees were appointed to look after the necessary needs of the clnb. The meeting ad journed to meet again at the same place on Friday evening next at 8.30 o'clock. The club will begin practice work this afternoon, and every effort will be made to get up a flsst-class team The manager has been instructed to correspond with other teams in regard to arranging games. The club will be made up entirely of residents of Raleigh, and there are twenty good ball players from whom to select a nine. ".' The gentlemen who have interested themselves in the association and are endeavoring to furnish Raleigh with a good team certainly deserve success and tha people of Raleigh should give the boys their hearty support. Carpenters Dismissed. ' Fourteen carpenters, who have been at Work in the carpenter shops at the S. A. L. depot, have been dis charged on account of the removal of the shop to Portsmouth. mniiKiin PERSONAL POINTS. ABOUT PROMINENT NORTH CAROLINIANS. People Who Come, People Who go and People You Know.

Didn't Strike. Correspondence: I beg to correct the statement in your Monday's issue stating that the printers of Raleigh engaged in a strike in 1863. They were receiving very low wages, barely enough to subsist on, while their employers were living sumptuously They had been refused an increase of wages, and to consummate their plans to demand enough pay for their labor to comfortably provide for them selves and families (which every one who works should have) they had under consideration the advisability of a strike. But when they found that they would be conscripted and sent to the army, they, in convention, abandoned the idea, and remained at their cases. They preferred the harm less " shooting stick " of the com posing room to the deadly shooting stick of the battlefield. At least, this is the recollection of a participant. W. A. F.

America will soon have another great national seat of learning in a magnificent 'Methodist university, ground for which will be broken at Washington next fall.
