N. C. DEMOCRATS.
THEIR STATE CONVENTION
HELD HERE TODAY.
j The Supreme Court Justices and
Treasurer Renominated.
When the city clock struck 12 today
Metropolitan hall began to fill rapidly
with delegates. Yellow placards bear
ing the names of the 96 counties dot
ted the hall. The delegates were in
great good humor and laughed a. they
fanned themselves, for it was pretty
warm. The delegates were a line
ooking a iid well dressed lot of gentle
men, un the stage tne newspaper
fraternity were quite well represented.
It was just 12:15 when chairman Sim
mons rapped the convention to order
ud made the announcement of the
official call for the convention and ex
ploited its purposes, namely, to nora-
nnte candidates for chief justice and
three associates, a state treasurer and
six superior court judges; also to
adopt a platform. ' He then requested
Mr.Howard J.Herrick to assist Mr.R.H
Cowan, the secretary of the state com
mittee, as temporary secretary. He
also called Mr. J. C. Buxton, of For
sythe, to act as temporary chairman.
flie two largest men iu the convention,
wen. J. v. tiienn, ot uuiitoru, ana
Mr. John W.Thompson, were assigned
the duty of escorting the gigantic
ciiairman to the chair. Mr. Huston
end a vigorous speech. He alluded
feelingly to the great loss in the death
it senator Vance and his sentiments
jvere loudly applauded; as were also
Uis references to Hansom and Jarvis.
He urged that all matters be subordi
nated to the only duty of destroying
all enemies of the democratic party,
for now there two are enemies, the old
ime republicans and their coadjutors,
fhe populists. There was a great
laugh when he said .' that most
of the populist leaders were dis
appointed democratic office-seekers.
He declared that the democrats would
sweep tne neia. He men reau tne
news from Alabama, and this
brought out more cheers. He said
that some one had said that populism
had now reached the stage of Coxey
ism and that this was semi-socialistic,
tnder vagabond direction. He said
e are now at the parting of the ways;
'We must choose between the republic
md the commune; between the eon-
ititution and anarchy. There is only
ne party of the people the demo
cratic party. lie said the- time had
come to repel the repnblican insinua
tions against Mr. Cleveland. He
said that shamelessly the repub
licans had looted the national treas
ury, and also that they had endeavored
to spread falsehoods. Mr. Buxton
eulogi2ed president Cleveland, saying
that on the main issue on which the
democratic party went into power-
that is the tariff he had the confi
dence aud the support of all loyal
democrats. He added that a campaign
on state issues was most unwise, as
would be any cutting loose from the
national administration, and that the
most cowardly thing a democrat could
da-would be to do anything to weaken
Mr. Cleveland's administration. At
this there was great applause. It was
12:30 when Mr. Buxton concluded his
remarks, which were well received
Secretary Herrick called the roll of
counties. All the counties save twenty
were found to be represented.
A resolution was offered by Theo
dore F. Davidson, of Buncombe, - that
all resolutions regarding the platform
be referred to the committee on plat
form, without debate. This caused
some excitement. Upon a viva voce
vote the resolution was adopted by an
overwhelming vote. " Col. Paul B
Means objected to this and wanted an
expression of opinion as to whether
there could be a full discission of the
matter. The chairman stated that
any member could offer an amend-
menttotbe platform committee's re
port after the latter had been made
The following committees were an

Blanton of Buncombe, Kope Elias of
Macon and R. L. Durham of Ruther
ford. This committee is to meet at
the close of the convention and elect a
chairman and a central committee.
Gov. Carr having appeared in the
hall was invited to a seat on the plat
form aud was called on for a speech.
He was heartily cheered and spoke
briefly. He thanked the convention
for his nomination two years ago and
said he was always ready to answer
any call of the democratic party.
Capt W. H. Day, chairman of the
committee on permanent organization,
made a report as follows : For perma
uent chairman Hon. R. H. Doughton ;
for vice presidents, John L. Cunning
ham, W. T. Caho, J. E. Green, A. C.
Huggins, J. R. Young. T. C. McNeill,
S. J. Pemberton, Cyrus B. Watson,
Kope Elias.
Mr. Doughton, on taking the chair,
made a few remarks, but discussed no
political topics. Calls were made for
several gentlemen and Walter R.
Henry, Esq., spoke forcibly.
The credentials committee made its
report, showing 20 counties unrepre
sented. In none were there any con
tests. At 2 o'clock a motion was made that
the convention go into nomination for
chief and justice associate justices. R.
H. Battle, Esq., of Wake, offered a
resolution in behalf of the Wake del
egation that the convention nominate
by acclamation James E. Shepherd;
for associate justices, Walter Clark,
James C. MacRae and Armistead Bur
well. A motion was made to add the
name of Samuel McDowell Tate for
treasurer. Mr. Battle accepted the
amendment and his resolution was
unanimously adopted. Kope Elias,
Esq., of Macon, made a motion that
the six nominations for superior court
judges be ratified. This was also
adopted by acclamation. :
Efforts were made to secure a re
cess of an hour, but these failed. The
delegates said they wanted to press
their work and go .home. At this
stage of the proceedings there were
loud calls for Hon. Alfred M. Wad
dell, of Nw Hanover. He made a
very practical speech. He spoke of
the attitude of the North Carolina
democrats towards the president and
said the man who meekly submitted
to an endorsement if he disagreed with
the president on financial question,
was worse than a coward. He spoke
of the president in high terms. He
felt sure the platform committee
would do its duty well.
Hon. Lee S. Overman was the next
speaker. He said it had been said by
the populists last week that the dem
crats were whistling to keep up their
courage. The election results in Ala-
bama and Tennessee showed that de
mocracy is not dead. He said he
favored free coinage of silver, but on
all other points agreed with president
Cleveland.
Capt. Oct. Coke was next called for
and made a stirring speech, in which
lie pictured the dangers to democracy
in this campaign!
Mr. S. J. Pemberton offered a reso
lution as follows: That section 1, un
der the head of "county and district
conventions," of the plan of organiza
tion of the democratic party of North
Carolina be amended by adding at its
end the following
Provided that in
all eoonty conventions in which dele
gates shall be selected to attend any
state, congressional, judicial or other
convention, a vote shsll be taken in ac
cordance with the plan of organiza
tion s to the candidates whose name
may be presented to such county con
vention. The delegates slinll be se
lected from the friends and suppor
ters of eath candidate voted for. in
proportion to the number of votes he
shall receive in such county conven
tion, and no other instructions shall
be given; provided that when only one
candidate is presented and voted for
at such unty convention it shall be
lawful to instruct tor such candidate."
Quite a discussion followed, par
ticipated in by Messrs. Pemberton,
Paul B. Means, J. A. Long, H. C.
Smith, L. L. Smith, A. Leazar, W. A.
Dunn. The latter made a motion to
table the resolution. Mr. H. A. Lon
don called for a roll of call of counties
upon the motion made by Mr. Dunn.
The roll was partially called, but
stopped when it became clear that the
convention favored the resolution. Mr.
Dunn then withdrew the motion to table
and moved to refer the matter to the ex
ecutive committee, with instructions to
to prepare the best plan to secure
minority representation in primaries
and county conventions. Mr. Leazar
thought it ought to apply to all coun
ties, and offered and amendment to
that effect, which was accepted. Mr.
Dunn's motion for reference was then
adopted.
Col. S. McD. Tate, the nominee for
state treasurer, having been' officially
notified of his nomination, was called
on and spoke, accepting it and thank
ing the convention. He declared him
self as for the "money of the consti
tution" gold and silver and for
state banks of interest and low inter
est, and for a tariff for revenue ouly.
At 3:25 the committee took a recess
until 5 o'clock, upon notice from ' the
committee on platform that it would
be sometime before it would be ready
to report.
OBSERVATIONS.

ecutive office today.

pressure is high over the south Atlan

however, is seen over Alabama, which
may develop into a storm; but this
will not affect us during the next 36
