The Democratic State Convention convened - at ten o'clock thia morning. There is a larger crowd here than was ever seen before on anv similar occasion, and the opera house was filled to its utmost. The weather is sultry and rainy. The contest between Ward and Hoadley for Governor waged fiercely during the morning hours. The convention was called to order by Clark Irvine, chair man of the central committee. All pre- ; liminary organization, was dispensed with. lion. John Mc3weeney,oi Wooe-ter,-was introduced as permanent chair man. As no committees were ready to report, the convention proceeded to nominations. Efforts were made to pro ceed to balloting without names. Dot after a long wait. Senator Thurman crowded on tbe stage amid the wildest enthusiasm. T.E. Powell nominated Uen. Durbin Ward, and In seconding PowellThurman made an able plea for the recognition of the services of Gen. Ward. He warned the convention against tying themselves to any one issuend announced that the party had always been arranged against sumptu ary legislation, and should continue in that way. Tbe names of Messrs Hoadley and Olddes were then presented in order. Trouble was reached on the first ballot when Butler couaty was called. This county had a divided dele(?ation,and the result was a call of counties to do away with the nnit rule, which was carried amid great confjslon. showing the strength of the leading candidates to be about even. Tbe ballot was not com pleted until 1 :30 o'clock, and resulted as follows: Hoadley 290, Ward 2l,Giddes 77, and Dilver 4. The second ballot proceeded until Butler countywas reached, when the same trouble again" ensued. After the call had been concluded, some changes began for Hoadley, and the greatest ex citement prevailed, the delegates climb ing over each other ' and storming the Jrtatform. - Before the result of the bal ot could be announced, a motion to nominate Hoadley by acclamation was carried. He had in the neighborhood of 850 rotes, 319 being necessary to a choice. Judge Hoadley soon appeared and accepted the nomination in a brief ad dress, during which . he reviewed his connection with the party And said that, although he had wandered at one time with the Republicans to fight the bat tles of the colored race. Democracy was broad enough to receive him again. He esteemed ' it a great compliment to be nominated over more worthy candi dates, and believed that tbe convention would place men on the platform whose leading principles were personal liberty, self control in temperance matters, and a license system. Tbe convention then proceeded to the nomination of Lien tenant Governor, and Jno. G. Warwick, of Stark county, was selected by accla : nation. Before the ballot was con cluded De witt Coalman, of Portage county, the other candidate, was with drawn. - - . THE RIYJSR4 RISK.

A r ' Commencement week this year has brought a larger number of strangers and former graduates to our city than any similar occurrence for several years. : So far everything has passed off very pleasantly, ana the large crowds attending every exercise of a. publio nature evinces tbe deep interest felt in all our educational, institutions, not- only by those whose sons and daurh ters are students and -pupils but by tbe great mass of our citizens, male and zenme. On Sunday - morning last the com menoement sermon before the students or Furman University was delivered by Bar Heary Holcombe Tucker of Georgia, at the Baptist church. The congregation was immense, every part of the large audience room being crowded. The musio . was very supe rior, irror ueuamps presiding at tne ora-an. The well trained choir render ed the various hymns in excellent style. The sermon was from Acts iv. 13. "Now when they saw the boldness of Peter an i Joan, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men they mar veled: ana mey took: anowiedce of them, that they bad been with Jesus." The central truth presented by the dis- guisnea ana eieanent preacner was, "The knowledge of Jesus promotive of moral courage and mental power." The sermon was listened to with breathless interest, and was one of the most in tellectual and masterly efforts of Dr Tucker. i On Monday mornlnar the com menoe ment exercises of the Greenville Mili tary Institute took place at the Butler Guards armory. This magnificent hall, one tbe largest in the State, was dense ly crowded. Captain Patrick believes in encouraging the little fellows by giving them a chance with the older and larger scholars and thus stimulate them to constant effort to excel. The exercises consisted ef declamations, recitations and dialogues by the smaller boys and debates and oratories by the larger ones. All did well, but conspic uous and well meriting special mention was the recitation of The Baven by cadet D C Durham, a young- North Carolinian, now a resident of Green ville, i Tbe recitation was faultless and given with such just appreciation of the weird mystery of the posm at to clothe it with additional interest. Mr. Durham was also the orator of the Caliopeae Society, and delivered a very fine oration, his subject being, "Good wine needs no bash." An ex ceedingly Interesting debate took place by members of the society, the question being resolved, "That woman has a greater power over man than ncbea and rulers combined." The discussion was participated in by four young cadets, all of whom merited the ap plause which -they liberally received. The decision was given In favor of the negative. Cadet Tyndal. of Green ville.delivered an admirable address on The Palmetto State." Mr. Tyndal la quite a young man, but one who is destined to make his mark among the. able men of the future. , There were five graduates of the In stitutes this year: Cadets C B Ashley, of Barnwell; E S Hunter,of Greenville; B B Parks, of Edgefield (DP Self, of Edgefield, and H B Tyndal, of Green ville. ! Certificates of proficiency in the business department were presented to Cadets 8 H Griffith. of Spartanburg; T J Brooker. of Barnwell: ES Hunter. of Greenville, and W F Davis, of dew berry. On Monday night the Philosophisn Society of Fur man Unlvsrsity held their thirty-first aonlversity. Mr A II Dean, of Spartanburg, is president of the society. Tbe exercises consisted of a debate upon the question, resolved, "That education should be made a qualification for suffrage." The question was ably argued by W H Davis, of Oconee, and JGouia P Whatley. of Edge field, in the affirmative.and G L Knight, of Laurens, and D C Hardin, of Green villa, In the negative. The limits of a correspondent will cot allow me. more than to remark that the arguments of the young gentlemen showed much study, and thought, and their ideas were clothed in beautiful and eloquent languagaAnd were delivered with much elocutionary ability. The decision was a difficult one, as both sides of tbe ques tion'; were so ably presented, but the judges, after mature deliberation, de cided in tbe negative. , Munsoa's fine orchestral band fur nished the music on both occasions.

This fact leads the Staats-Zeitung to discuss thesubject. It assumes that in all the cities of the country the Germans are, in proportion to their numbers, twice as well repre sented among the suicides as any other people, and the excessive use of beer is assigned- as the cause. . "There is no doubt," ssys the Staats-Zeitung, that "the moderate use of beer brightens up and ' cheers, men, but there is also no doubt that too much beer stupefies and demoralizes the drinker, and, if its use is persisted in, makes him melancholy and weakjnlndecL It is apt to' result in certain attacks of melancholia, which come upon the beer toper, and in which he bewails himself and his fate, pities himself as a wretched being and finally lets his heavy head ' and his weeping eves sink languidly on. the table? Nevertheless, it considers beer a bever age of exceeding virtue . in comparison with spirituous liquors, . which, it con tends, "transforms man into a blood thirsty wild beast and a violator of the lawr. .

The sands of a scho laatio year have again been heavily grained with gold bj an event unsur passed In the history of this venerated institution. Not a single unfavorable circumstance attended ; the : elements that go to. make commencement day In June a success.' A somewhat hazy sky and a good breeze 'dispensed In a measure with the artificial means, of "keeping cool" and the dust was not greatly disposed to cloud the air. The crowd of visitors that had gathered to hear the annual oration and contests in oratory on Wednesday was, in course, splendidly augmented by a rush of the fair maidens of Carolina, accompanied, by brothers, cousins and sweethearts; to greet the gushing yonng graduates of the class of "83. As the day began to advance, vehicles of every description rolled in on the highways that radiate from the town, trains from States ville and Charlotte arrived at the depot and before 11 o'clock the. village . was alive with people. 'By the train from Statea ville came the private car of CoL A. B. Andrews, of Raleigh, N.C with Gov. Jar vis, J odge Haskell, of : South Caro lina and its distinguished owner. aboard." -,-f. -' -l ; To the regret of all, CoL Bennett H. Young with bis party had left early In the morning for his borne in Louisville, Ky. I Precisely at the hour of elexen, the Trustees, Faculty and students were in a line facing tbe Old Chapel, as usual on such occasions, ready to move to the Commencement' Hall. The procession was lead by the Salem Cornet "Band as on Wednesday. Mr. Shepard Nash, the efficient chief marshal of tbe occasion, supported by an able corps of assistant! was present to direct the line of march and escort to the speaker's stage. Gov. Jarvis, who had consented to. deliver the prizes in Mathematics, Latin, Greek and Oratory. In a few moments the spacious ball was crowded to its utmost capacity and a sea of upturned faces greeted the speaker's stage with an ap preciation that was .only stirred and heightened when the band burst into Tin elegant rendering of "Joyce's 71st Regiment Quickstep.". After the exer cises had been opened with prayer by Rev. and a piece of sacred music by tbe band, the following programme was faithfully carried out: ; Salutatory Oration Tbe Well Bal anced Mind, William Mack, Columbia, ac. Oration Lord Bryon, Richard W Culbertson, Woodleaf , N. C. Oration The Philosophy of Work, Henry H Leovy. New Orleans, La, Oration The Manufacturing South. Leonard W Dick, Sumter. S. C Pblloeobphical Oration The Planet Mars, Willie N Msbane, Greensboro. N.C. The Presentation of Prizes. Degrees Conferred. Valedictory Oration The Tenden cies of Modern Physical Science, John W Lafferty. Davidson College, K. C ' Benediction. One new feature on the face of the programme is worthy of mention. Here tofore it has been customary to allow ten of the graduating class to deliver orations on the day of graduation, but this year only six out of a class of twenty were assigned to the stage. This new departure seems to meet with unqualified approval inasmuch as the more gifted appear and the less number shortens the exercises. If the comfort and listening capacity of public assem- Mrties in warm weather were more carefully studied by college faculties there would be less complaint from the public of the unentertaining nature of the average -commencement. Davidson is in the van of Improvement here as in other particulars. . ; .' 1 V ; All of the speakers did weU. The hearty applause of the audience andi the floral contributions, some of which were most elaborate in character and embraced the most beautiful and artis ticSdesigns known to the florist's art, attest the high appreciation" in the ladies especially. The oration on "The Manufacturing Sooth," by Mr Leonard W Dick, evoxed much earnest applause and would have done great credit to a much older head.' His selection was a happy one and his treatment of - it re vealed a source of happiness to the peo ple of the South. At the- conclusion of the philosophical oration Gov. jarvis. having been introduced by President Hepburn,- arose amid great applause and presented ' .. : . , - - Before proceeding he begged the in dulgence of the audience for a few gen eral remarks. He said" that he had always desired to attend a commence ment at Davidson, and that he always felt better concerning the work before him after attendance On an occasion of that kind ; that he saw so much of the material which is to shape the desti ny of the country, he could not but hope when he saw it, prepared as it Is, in this institution. Turning' to the graduating class he congratulsted them on one feature of their exercises their hopeful view of human nature and the complexion cast on their orations from the light and beauty around them. If they would only be good, pure and true In their life work, the people would bid them welcome and the great popular heart would;.-beat 1 in sympathy with their successes. To the successful contestants be spoke of personal fitness for certain kinds of work and the la mentable, failures that result from a disregard of it, saying that he could im- agine no greater failure than himself as an artist. vile, then laid! down the rule of success la the word "work" and gracefully delivered the prizes as fol lows: " . . - .

As the Statesville bound train pulled out from the depot in this city yester day afternoon. Mr Will Pharr mounted his bicycle and started off with it. Bi cycle and train started at tbe same time, and for the first few miles the race varied, first one and then the other being In the lead. The Last heard from the race was when a gentleman coming to the city passed the train and bicycle spinning along breat to breast at a point just eight miles from the city, where the country road runs . parallel to the railroad. How the race finally ended we could not learn, bnt it is reasonable to suppose that Mr Pharr gave the train a close race to Davidson College.
