New York, August 16. Representa

today was elected secretary of the In

of New York and Mutual Companies, to
eucoeed Secretary heymour Eatoq, who
recently resigned. ,
This action .was taken at a meeting
of the executive coininittce at which
Mr. Longworth was present. The oth
ers in attendance were former Judge Al
ton B. Parker, Governor Huberts, of
Connecticut, J. H. Hemphill, ot South
Carolina; Colonel Shook, ot Nashville,
Tenn.; Harlow N. Higginbotham, of
Chicago, and Samucd Lntcrmeycr, gen

'llio crowd cheered lustily and clapped
their hands in admiration. "1 come

I am not alone as your governor, but
as your friend, lmt it is my duty to
enforce the laws ot South Carolina.
j Don t cheer, men; this is a solemn oc

and hcsidcs, I understand it excites the'
ladies and this is a consideration that
appeals to all South Carolinians:' (The
residence was only forty feet away.)
"I come to appeal to your manhood.
The question is, shall the people be al

the majesty of the law be upheld? I
promise you, on my honor, that as
speedy a trial as the law allows shall
be held. 1 would not object to cutti g

It was one ot the most remarkable
sights ever witnessed either in this state
or any other. Just a few yards away
stood the helpless prisoner, who looked
dazed, and men stood close about him
with rifles and shot guns in their hands.
"I am here alone," went on the gover

Dear Sir Replying to your letter ol
the 8th inst., and to Br. W. D. Turner's
letter attached thereto of the 3d inst,
I beg to say I had no intention of per
verting the letter of Mr. W. D. Turner
bearing date of May 9, for it was ap
parent to my mind that he intended to
refer to some one of the "different can
didates," who were aspirants for the
Democratic nomination for congress.
Notwithstanding Mr. Turner's recent let
ter, I cannot yet understand why he
deemed it necessary to say, in his eulogy
of Mr. Armfield, "No private infirmities
call for the charity of his friends and no
publio scandal had ever soiled his name,"
fact which will be readily admitted
by all who know Mr. Armfield. Desiring
to be perfectly fair to all, I send you
herewith a copy of Mr. Turner's letter
as it appeared in the Charlotte Observer
and I respectfully invite your careful
perusal of the third paragraph thereof.
i our statement that X a in "willing to
ngage in a controversy in the news
papers" is erroneous, for what I have
written to you was merely in response
w letters you naa written to me and
which you saw fit to publish before the
originals were received by me. And, too,'
the first letter you wrote me was en
tirely superfluous as the action of our

the proceedings of the convention which

give 'the reasons therefor. That it did

orders or injunctions, so it can be free

The report of Commander-in-Chief
Tanner was of considerable length and
covered all features of the work done
by the grand army during last year. No
mention was made in the report of the
canteen question, but considerable space
was given to Wirz, and the recommenda-1
tion was made that the grand army
enter a dignilied and emphatic protest
nea inst the erection of the monument."
The report in substance was as follows:
The Address of Tanner.
In his speech before the grand army
veterans, General Tanueii, the commander-in-chief,
said that notwithstanding
the fearful inroads of death upon the
comrades of the grand army of the- re
public, Mr. Tanner declared the organiza
tion today is 3,500 stronger than at the
encampment in Denver last year.
The commander-in-chief, bitterly ar
raigned those who, posing as "the
most eminent men of the nation" had
proven false to their trust in various
ways, but declared that among all such
the name of no civil war veteran could
be found. On this subject he said;

To the Kditor of The Observer:
As the time draws near for holding
the primaries in the Eighth congres
sional district, when the people are nec
essarily giving serious consideration to
the merits of the different candidates,
I wish to call attention to the character
and qualifications of C H. Armfield, of
Statesville.
He is about forty-five years of aire.
and, as a lawyer, ranks with the fore
most in his district. He is especially
strong, bold and aggressive as a debater,
and on the stump will be able to meet
and take care of all comers.
Ho is a' Democrat by inheritance and
training, and hiu never wavered in his
loyalty to the principles of his party.
No private infirmities call for the char
ity ot Jus menus, and no public scan
dal has ever soiled his name.
It is aDDarent that we are not onino
to carry the election in this district with
out a hard and determined contest. In
the past our people have been divided
on tne prohibition question. No ex
tremist who is obnoxious to a large num
ber of the Democratic voters can be
elected. We must nominate some one
who can carry the full party vote. Upon
the question that in the past has divided
us, C. H. Armfield will be acceptable to
both factions, and will unite the party.
it u a. Armneia is nominated, he will
be elected. Democrats, what is the use
of trying experiments?
