The, Man a facta re rs Record's weekly summary of Southern Industrial news rep jr is that notwithstanding : the efforts of cotton mill companies to curtail production on aceout of the market eocditions, the organization of new mills goes on with out abatement. During the week new mill enterprises have been projected at Cartersville. Ga., with $50,000 capital toek; a 1150.000 company at Douglas villa. Ga.; a S125.000 company at Aus tin, Tex.; a $20,000 company to. estab lish a thread mill at Atlanta; a $250,000 company at Monroe, La ; the proposed enlargement of a Charleston mill at an expenditure of about $100,000 and an addition of 3,500 spindles to a mijl at Forest City, N. O. "Among other Important enterprises reported for the week have been the origination of an Rnclish company with a capital of $500,000 to pnrobase large Iron works at Mtddleborough, Ky., aniLtLUt them in early operation a pro jected bieycle factory at Atlanta has materiaiiseo- br toe incorporation of a conn any with $100,000, which will es tablish the first bicycle works south of Maryland; a company to manufacture fire brick and ouildicg brick has been started at Blae sburg, 8. O ; large chemical works at Richmond, Va ;a $60,- 000 cotton oil mill at Cisco, Tex.; a $20-. 000 oil company at Groesbeek: a $20,000 ice and cold storage plant at Uilisboro; $10,000 water works company at Richmond, Texas. While reports show that there is con siderable hesitation in business matters and complaint of dullness in some lines. yet on the whole the industrial situation throughout the South seems to be steadi ly expanding on a solid basis and the outlook is favorable for continued growth not only in leading industries. suon as cotton, but in a more general diversification of manufacturing inter ests. Mr. Herman Frazch, of the Standard Oil Company, of Cleveland, writes the Manufacturers Record tbat the exten sive development of sulphur mines in Lioutsiana under tbe process recently in trod need for this work has been suc cessful and tbat an average output of 260 tons of sulphur per day is now being made, tbe quality being 999 3 100 per cent. pure. This extensive sulphur property, which was recently purchased by Mr. Rockefeller and others, will shortly be incorporated. Reoent re ports from Sicily showed that the sol phur producers were watching with great interest these operations in Lou isiana, anticipating tbe curtailment of exports of Sicilian sulphur to America, should the Louisiana developments be successful. IHK HUKTUM CADKT8 WON. Tbelr Prise Drill at Savanaab the Beet Bver Seea la Tbat Section of the Ooantry. Savannah, Ga., May 14 The Galves ton Cup and the prize of $2 500 offered by tbe Military Inter-State Association, of Savannah, together with the eham plonship of the United States, belong to tbe Morton (Jadets, of Washington. D. O. Id the opinion of military ex perts the drill put up by the Mortons this morning is the best ever seen in this section of the country, if not the best of its kind ever given. In the ex tended order drill, the Mortons were not auite so food but atill thev were m uch better than their competitors, the Oglethorpe Infantry, of Augusta, Ga. The Mortons had never drilled in the extended order until they began to prepare for the bavannah drill and had not fired a blank cartridge until their arrival on the grounds to-day, sinoe their drill in Memphis a year ago The few errors made by them were over looked. The Oglethorpe Infantry, of Augusta, which competed with the Morton Cadets were not in the same class at all. They put up a fair drill but it was evident that they had not had the requisite practice for suob a drill, and their errors were numerous. Tbe Shooting; at Avondale. Savannah, Ga., May 14. There was not much shooting at Avondale range to-day. Tbe only match was on the cavalry carbine match. Tnere were two contesting teams. Troop A, First Georgia Cavalry, and a team from the irst ueorgia Calvary both teams, however, being from the Georgia Hus sars. The match resulted in a tie, each team making a total of 395 points. The First Cavalry, however, having made the highest score on the 500 yard range, the greatest distance shot from, the matoh was awarded to them. The shooting was not as good as it might have been nor as good as some of the marksmen who shot are able to do. None of the visiting marksmen shot to day, with the exception of G E. Cook, of the Engineer Corps of the District of Columbia, who made in the Theus matoh 33 at 500 yards and 31 at 600 yards, a total of 64 This is the high est Boore made in this match so far. On account of the big parade of the local and visiting military companies this afternoon there was no shooting at tbe range. To-morrow the consolidation matoh will be shot. This is for teams of six who have never shot at Seagirt, Creed more or Walnut Hill. The entries are the Hussars, the Cadets- and probably one team from the First Georgia Regi ment. The oompany team matoh will also be shot to-morrow. There are two entries In this, both from the Engineer Corps of the District of Columbia, Georgia is barred from this match. SCOT T JACKSON OCILTT. The Jary Beltev Tbat Ha Mnrdered FaarT Bryaa aad rtiai tbe Paataaxaeat at Death. Cincinnati, May 14. The Scott Jack son murder case was given to the jury as soon as court opened this morning. It was two h urs and ten minutes after they had retired that they returned a verdict. When asked to read the ver dict Cierk Reuscher said: j "We, the jury, find the defendant Scott Jackson, guilty of the murder of Pearl Bryan, and fix the punishment at death." Despite the stringent Instructions of the Judge there was a murmur of ap proval in the room and a few even ap plauded by clappfbg their bands. Seott Jackson did not let even an eyelid quiv er. He looked just a shade older bat did not show the slightest emotion. Attorney Crawford asked the oourt that he have one month to make his motion for a new trial. Judge Helms did not decide the question at once, bat announced that the court would ad journ until 2 o'clock. The prisoner was led out by the Jailor, followed by fifteen deputies.

Special to th Observer, v " Washington, May 14 The Populists to-day professed not to be disturbed over the nomination of Prof. English in the fourth district-- 8nato Butler said he regarded the professor as still a Pop. ullst and thought that the nomination was not unfriendly to Representative Strowd. Tbe -latter did not want to be quoted. He, too, believed Rnglish to be a Populist. .He did not know if the matter would affect his plana. A Populist not in . Congress ; thinks that English was taken up by the Republi cans to brpak Strowd, because they im agine be Is opposed to f osion and stands with Butler. None of the Populists here appears to regard the nomination as one likely to hold water. They say English will probably not accept it. The Woodard case closed quietly to day when, as a privileged matter and in spite of Piekler with his pension special order, Prince reported the com mittee's two resolutions declaring that H P. Cheatham was not and that F. A Woodard was entitled to the seat for the second district. Hardly any re sponses were beard none against the resolution seating Mr Woodard. He is now secure in bis place. Mr. Prince said afterward: "If there had been no division of the Republicans shown the contestant would have won the seat. We made a very short, non-partisan statement, believing that Woodard was honestly elected." Tbe North Carolina vote on the Downing Illinois contested election case last night is worthy of analysis and study. It shows aberration in Linney. On a motion to adjourn Linney, 8hufcrd, Skinner and Strowd voted "no;" but on ordering tbe previous question Linney voted "no," which separated him fron his fusionist colleagues. On the motion friendly to Downing, Demo crat, to lay tbe motion to reconsider on the table, Linney voted "yea," with Strowd and Shuford, and Skinner paired that way. Bat oa the second dilatory motion to adjourn. Linney again voted with Downing's enemies against right and justice. On the substitute providing for a recount of tbe vote in the district, advocated by many liberal and able Republicans. Linney was one of 35 who voted "no." Shuford voted "aye " On the amended resolutions, giving the recount, Shu ford voted "yea;" all the others absent Robert Ransom, the minister's son, until now his private secretary, was nominated to-day to be second secre tary of legation in Mexico. He takes the place of a Cahfornian. This good fortune of Mr. Ransom was known to his friends here some time since, but with an injunction to hold it down for the time being.

Correspondence of the Obaerver. Washington, May 13.

Myra Clark Gaines "though dead yet speaketh" in legislation. Senator Caf fery, of Louisiana, has introduced two bills to give Wm H. Wilder, executor of Mrs Gaines' will, the right to file in the Court of Claims within one year a petition setting forth the right of Mrs Gaines, deceased, to 40,000 arpents of land granted by Spain to Philip Dugue, and if awarded her provision is made for payment of claim in land scrip of tbe United States at $1 25 per acre. The seoond bill is under the Urquhart grant and is for 39.737 arpents of land, and oontains similar provisions. It is seen that this famous litigation, which was supposed to have ceased, has merely taken a fresh start, and like Tennyson's brook "goes on forever.'!

If tbe Bepeal of the Free Alcohol Clause of the Tariff Bill la Mot Urged tbe Bad Stay Corns la SCarly Jane. Washington, May 14 The Republi cans of the Senate will hold a caucus to morrow morning at 11 o'clock tor the purpose of considering tbe subjeot of adjournment. The call was circulated by Mr. Chandler and was generally signed by those who are opposed to the repeal of the free alcohol clause of the tariff bill, which Mr. Sherman and sev eral other Republicans are anxious to have repealed. It is said that tbe can-; cus will endeavor to reach a conclusion on the subjeot of adjournment and the bills that shall be considered before that time arrives. The gecerr 1 impression prevails tha final adjournment can' be had in the first week of Jane without trouble or inconvenience. It is the intention to engage in some plain talk at this conference and to en deavor to show tbe advocates of the re peal of the free alcohol clause how im possible it is to take op this amendment to tbe tariff act without coupling it itn other amendments along ReDobli can lines. It is claimed tht the silver Republicans will not do anything to pre cipitate a financial discussion and that if Mr. Sherman and those who are with him in the matter will agree to let tne repeal go by the board there will be no stumbling block to an- adjournment as soon as the river and harbor bill be comes a law.

The General Conference of the Methodist Church met at 8:30 a. m. to-dav, with Bishop Mallalieo in tbe chair J It was decided that diplomas from Methodist schools be accepted in liea of the Conference oonrse of study from candidates for the ministry. '- . , --. ' - . The reports of the committee on epis oopaoy were presented by the Rev. Dr. Buckley,. : . --x-i vM4PT-Pi ? Report No. 1 recommended the re tirement of the senior bishop," Thomas W. Bowman, and of j Bishop Randolph 8. Foster, on acoount of non-effectiveness A most i m prejsi ve scene followed tbe reading of the report. Bish' p Fos ter arose, and, amtdtbe most breath less silence, said that he wished to re lieve the Conference from' any delicacy in acting as their judgment dictated. He ssked permission to retire. Bishop Bowman also asked to be retired, as "I have just learned," he said, "tbat I am non-effecive." Bishop Geo H Bridge man offered a substitute, which pro vided that Bishop Bowman and Bishop Foster be not retirea and that the board of bishops be asked to give them light work. Dr. Bridgeman said that "the report of the committee was unkind. . Who are these men that Dr. Buckley and his committee propose to say to the Churoh, to brother Churches and to the world are non-effeotive? They are those who have done most for Methodism. Tbe majority report would be exceedingly hurtful to the Church." Rev. Dr J E. O- Sawyer, of Troy, said that he hoped the substitute would be adopted. The adoption of the com mittee report would be a needless hu miliation to these beloved bishops who have done so much for the Church. The only excuse that can be offered for their retirement is one of expense, and in view of the great wealth of the Method ist Church, it counts for nothing. Rev. Dr. James F. Chaffeeman, of Minnesota, said that unless the Confer ence wanted to be confronted with prop ositions of thts kind to limit tbe terms of bishops, it must pass something along this line. "This is no place for sentiment. We must aot according to our oonviotions and retire these men, painful as it may be." The discussion of the report was tbe feature of the Conference up to this time and all who participated in the discussion spoke in an earnest manner. Rev. Dr. Lanahan, of Baltimore, said: "Tneie is a great deal of hooey in tbe report. The honey, however, is a very good way to smooth the way the com mittee aimed at. There are things that have been left out this discussion that had better be said. I think, sir, that the proceedings of the episcopal com mittee have been unparalleled in the history of the Church. For the honor of the Church I hope it may never oc cur again. "This committee has been in secret session. It was a meeting for execu tion. I think that one of the dangers of our Church to-day is in keeping seoret what ought to be published. What wss to be said about these great men? Have they oeen guilty of any impropriety? Tne committee said, in the presence of visitors, that they wished to say things that should not be made public. I will, ask the chairman of the committee on episcopacy to say whether it is so or not." Dr. Buckley arose, and, in a very agi tated manner, said that he declined to be questioned, but that he would reply to the most singular address at its close. Tbe previous question was ordered. Dr. Buckley was given permission to reply t Dr. Lanahan. He said: "Our report was voted for by all of our com mittee of 130, save five members These brathren, if they are not retired, are official residents of the great episcopal cities. We called those secret meetings that we might question these beloved bishops when not surrounded by ever thirsty reporters and persons totally in competent to judge the great principles of Methodism In the interest of the episcopal board, I beseech you to adopt the majority report." Dr. Buckley's speech was delivered in a very earnest manner. During the debate much difficulty was had by Bishop Mallalieu in keeping the dele gates from applauding. He said that the matter under discussion was a deli cate one and he hoped that the Confer ence would refrain from applause, at least until the particular matter was disposed of. The substitute was tabled and the report adopted, retiring Bishops Bowman and Foster. Dr. Buckley read report No. 2 from the committee on episcopacy. It said that in tbe selection of bishops there should ba no discrimination on acoount of race, and that the time had now oome to elect a bishop of African de scent. Rev. Dr. Brooks, of Washington, a colored delegate, said: "The desire for a colored bishop comes from all the oolored people of the Churoh. What we want is a black bishoD, not because he is black, but a black bishop never theless." Rev. Dr. E. W. S. Hammond, of Lex ington, one of the leading oolored di vines in the Church, said: "I favor tbe selection of a bishop of Afrioan descent because his work is needed among the blacks of the country " Rev. Wuson, of Baltimore, offered the following as a substitute for tbe re port: "That In the selection of bishops the delegates should be un trammeled, and that the race or nationality of a bishop is not a proper subject for legis lation." Wade H. Thomas, co'ored, of North Carolina, said: "Including the 18 bishops, there are 44 General Confer ences, and of these the 263 000 colored members have only representative. Is that justice?" x v 1 Rev. Madison C. B. Mason, of Savan nah, who is one of the leaders of South ern Methodism, said he hoped that there would be nothing done to drive the white bishops oat of the South-, bat at tbe same time be thought the time had oome to elect a colored bishop. The previous question was ordered and the ' substitute tabled. The com mittee report was then adopted. " Dr. Buckley read report No. 3 from the committee on episcopacy, which declared that there should . be , three more bishops selected. fS;'-- Rev. John D. Walsh, of Kentucky, moved to amend the report by adding another bishop, providing one of those selected Is a colored man. i - , Dr. Little moved as a substitute tbat the number of bishops to be selected be two. :--. : . .;: Dr."" Bristol, of Chioago.tmoved to amend hv'rlfnlrinir that than aHinli bono more bishops elected.

":?t"" :J ' ' Obssbteb Bukbau, Pars HoTBia,' ) . Raleigh, May 14. J There were at least 1.000 Republicans from other points in this town to-day At the hotels and halls they fairlj buzzed. The brother in black was verj much in evidence. It was 2 o'clock this morning when a caucus called, to secure harmony: fin ished: its work.' It agreed to have a State central oommittee of live to aid Chairman Holton (Pritchard men swor he was to h.ve the naming of all tbi oommittee, and Holton men that this was untrue); McKinley to be unani mously endorsed; Pritchard to be re nominated as the Republican party candidate for Governor; Holton to be unanimously re-elected chairman. It was also said by Pritchard men that the oommittee was to deoide which contests for seats in the convention were worthy of notice, so as to throw out frivolous ones. Holton men said that the contests would stand upon their merits, as in all conventions. Some of the anti Ho tonites tried to make it appear yesterday tbat Holton had told me he intended to himself make up the convention. It was false He never said any such thing. Last n'ght the boltiug Populist committee met the Republican conference oom mittee (Pritchard, Settle, Jim YcTung and others) and talked over what sort of a deal could be made. Tbe Pops stood up for the Governor; tbe Republi cans said no. This morning tbe Popu list oommittee, composed of Spier Whitaker, chairman; Z. T Garrett, J N. Morgan, M. L. Wood, D H. Gill. J K S. Case and R. A. Cbbb, met tbe Re publican oonferrees and negotiators. Senator Pritchard told me the result just before tbe State convention met elands Bernard is the man who ha been the medium in this deal of th Republican and Populist bolters. H has come and gone between D. H. Gill and Garrett, the leading spirits in it. and bis Republican brethren. He said to me to-day: "The committee'sractioD in exact conformity with what it do cided in April, that is, to leave some plaoes on the State ticket open for tbe Populists to fill. The fight now is with the Populists, to fill in these plaoes at their 8tate convention- If the Populist convention does not do so, why, then, Gill and his element of Populists will do it." R A. Cobb was interviewed and said tbat in his opinion there were at least 30 000 Jippolists represented by him and hiscrowd. It was early in the day when he told me this and he then saiJ he didn't think bis people would haggle much about letting tbe Republicans name the Governor. Gill, Cobb and the others are termed by the waggish Republicans "tails" because they are an appendage to tbe G O P. But all was not calm in their meeting. It was a bolt within a bolt. Spier Whitaker tells me he told the Republican oom mittee 'that he would never consent to any co-operation un less among other things the Populists had the Governor, and that he would not consent to that unless it was regu larly endorsed by the Populist 8tate convention. It is learned on high au thority that Whitaker at a Gill Popu list conference to-day made a speech in which he declired that he did not join the Populist party for the purpose of defeating the Dem ocrats or to defeat Republicans, tint solely for the purpose of advancing the principles of the Popu list party, and that while he had his individual opinions as to what it might be best for the Populist party to do, And had no hesitation in expressing these opinions as an individual, he wanted it distinctly understood that he intended to follow and endeavor to carry out the wishes of the Populist convention; and further, that he did not intend to be drawn into any personal controversy with any Populist committeemen or individuals. He also said that he thought the Populist party, if it co operated with any party at all. should co-operate with the party which would give to the Populists the most advant age. It is also officially learned that when Gill's conference deoided to yield the Governor to the Republicans, Whit aker and M. L. Wood declined to serve any longer and so notified the confer ence. It is also said that eastern Popu lists, with the exoeption of Vance county, followed Whitaker and fully endorsed his coarse. What can the Republicans do with Whitaker against them t This was the question asked this afternoon by one of Whitaker 's friends. Hal. Ayer, Populist State secretary, saya that there were 18 of the bolters here and that' half of these were from Vance. Certainly there were very few of them. Gill looks miserable. The straight Populists call him a "Judas," and the name is likely to stick. The Republicans need never again talk sneeringly about the Democrats "truckling to free silver and the Popu list vote." . Look at them this week here! - Holton tells me he was offered the as sociate justiceship but threw It at his feet, with scorn. . , . :. The hoar set for the opening of 'the Republican 8tate convention was noon, bat at that hoar the only man on the stage or on the floor was J L O. Harris, whosat on tbe stage, looking like one of those . qheerfol Chinese gods. Admis sion wits by ticket and a few minutes after noon tbe inflow of delegates be gan. .The galleries bad been filled some time. Some delegates kicked about the admission by ticket, saying they had never beard of such a thing. , W. H Chadbourn and J. Wiley Shook were the door-keepers., G. Z. French, al ways an early bird, was the first dele gate to take bis seat. 1 The delegates were seated by districts. . The weather was piping hot. The waving of jmiay -! fans . and the color V of the many badges , gave variety to the scene? Reporter were thick. One paper had five and an artist.-' Sen ator Butler's paper was represented by Editor Ajer, who said it was the best convention the Republicans bad ever held here. At 12:30 8enator Pritchard walked on the stage and was loudly ap plauded. He was warm bat tmlHnf; Be told the press that at the conference to-day of the Populist bolters and the Republican conference committee,' the Populists agreed that tbe Republicans could go ahead and. make the nomina tions," taking the Governor and the Populists to later t fill in the gaps as signed to them, tn accordance with the proposition made last month. When --Tom Settla entered; the ball there wr riPpia"of - applause- The Republicans- were -very- ptoooVof : the bigness; of tbeteonvBUttoa One of the PTctiaieat war Ney CcgTeT Here Jb, Gudger. The races were so divided In the convention- that tbree-fitths were white and two-thirds colored. In a tri angle .oa the! stage were Henry C. Cowles, of the national committee, Set tle and Pritchard, all talking earnestly, Suddenly there was beany cheering for Holton. It was 12:45 when he step ped out, with the type-written copy of his address in j hand." He spoke a few words to Lore Harris: the gavel rapped; His first work was to get seats for the delegates front! the fourth district He designated Jake Hallyburtou as ser geant at-arms.1 Then he called the boose to drder and read his address. Secre tary Harris thee read the call under which the convention assembled.' John O. Dan cy was appointed to call the roll of counties. Then he.' read tbe follow ing as the names of the committee on credentials: C. A. Reynolds, G- H Smatbers, Wheeler Martin, J. D. Hoi 'and, F; Bi Jones. "Jas. RayVA. B Russell. J. J. Woods, J. W. Boger.t He ugwesied that the convention take a recess nntil 4 "o'clock; fasbrder to give the committee time to work. Instantly there were yells for PrltShard A negro lelegate rose land demanded' by what right he appointed the committee on -.rcdeotlala. , Bolton replied- that tbe olan of organization gave him the au thority, in fact required him to do so. The negro j delegate waved his arms and subsided, , The yells for Pritchard ere renewed.! He stepped to the front of tbe stage, beside Chairman Holton, tod said it bad been decided that the ball should be given up to the commit tee on credentials, so the many contests could be disposed of, and that a recess jntil 4 o'clock! was the proper thing So at 1:20 o'clock the convention took the recess Pritchard said , he would make a speech later on. Here is the text of Chairman Holton's address: , . - "I am glad to congratulate you upon being the representatives of the greatest political ; party organized since the foundation of our government; a party created to be used as tbe instrument m the hands of God himself to shake the shackles from the hands of .four mil lions of human beings and elevate them 'rom a servile slavery to the proud post- ion of American citizens. When this as accomplished it was predicted that its mission was at an end, bat the spirit of Lincoln did not pass away .with the assassuis ball. Graut, with laurels of victory resting upon his brow, took hold f tbe storm-tossed ship with a spirit. of rue Republicanism and offered this reat Southland of ours the right hand f fellowship, declined to humiliate the Southern soldiers by refusing to accept n surrender the1 sword of the gallant Lee, but said, "Let us have peace. This tame spirit of Republicanism la now nfusing itself into the heart of every true American oitizen. "Here we pause for a moment and turn our attention from the achieve ments of the Republican party in sav ing the Union - and making this nation land where the traok of a slave will never again be made, and view the progress of the party as it has dealt with the domestic affairs of one people. Upon this the principles of our party nave stood for America ' and for tbe American people.' For more than a quarter of a century we maintained a protective tariff policy and stood for a sound currency; and under it our peo ple were prosperous and happy, until 1892, by tbe eloquence of hungry office-seekers, holding out false theories and false' prom ises, oar people were made to chase rainbows into tne wil derness. hen suddenly, the bight came and found ns engulfed' In darkneSl, with financial ruin ana distress upon us; but these three years of Democratic rale will satisfy our people for the next twenty-five. "The year 1894 marked -' : period in the history of this State that- will long be remembered, especially -by oar Dem ocratic friends.; The body politic of our State had grown corrupt. Power had concentrated into the: bands or a few corrupt politicians The ballot-box, the source of all political power, bad been polluted by corrupt Jtiands; the voice of the people spoke in Vain: men were placed in high positions of honor and trust against the. will of the major ty, and by joining hands with oar Pop ulist friends the ballot-box was purified and it made -i possible for the people o rule. The only, way for, this cor ruption to be restored is for the peo ple to forget the past, , to join bands with the enea.iesbf free govern ment and allow the same corrupt meth ods to be need tbey so vehently de nounced in 1894. UI this i nave no fears. The great mass of our. people are honest, liberty-loving acd law-abiding. With this assurance I feel confident .hat North Carolina's eleven eleotoral votes will be placed in the Republican oolumn, and whoever this convention nominates will: manage the affairs of this State for the aixt four years. Then let every delegate here have an eye sin gle to the great Republican . principle and victory will be ours!" It was 4:45 o'clock when, the hall was opened to the convention. Campbell, of Cherokee, of the famous Arrington committee, was called in to speak and brought down the house. He declared he: was a silver man;, said his county, Cherokee, was! not represented in thts convention; then be was here to repre sent the Murphy Bulletin bat would accept the nomination for Governor as the gentleman from "Hanging Dog" township. ! ' . -' -. - t At 5 o'clock it was 'stated-that it would be two and a half hours before the committee ou credentials would be ready, to report and that Chairman Holton gave notioe that the Convention would extend its recess to 8 o'clock. : Senator Pritchard says: "There is organized . . opposition . to : McKinley There was an overwneiming aesire so have me become State chairman, -I de clined it and prefer to see Holton: rs tain that position.- All this is now ar ranged. Theiconventott wius declare for both gold and sliver. Tne -resolo-. tions wilt be somewhat stronger than the Ohio resolutions. There is bo ' op position to me for - Senator.: -I - really can't say who" will be nominated lor Governor. It Is impossible to give an intelligent forecast. I will offer strong - resolution ia favor of a high protective tariff for the raw materials of the Booth and the agricultural . pro ducts of the country; also a resolution for the protection uf snip-owners in ac cordance with the legislation proposed by Senator Elkics." . , Up to 9 o'clock the credentials eom mittee bad not reported- Teen Hese- kiah uedger took, tne stage ana saia tne Democratic party was dead bat did not know it. He enlogixed McKinley as tha leader of the hosU to -victorv and Jeter C Pritchard as Ihe ' noblest Roman of them all. He safd. !'We will whip the Democrats if we are divided, bat we will whip them completely 1' united Gadger was loudly applauded. Jim Moody says he will be one of the electors at . large.' Marshall Mott said that the temper of-- the . Re publican party in-North Carolina is a little over-confident. ' There was a great demonstration -- when Pritchard appeared and a negro delegate shouted. Best looking man in North Carolina!" Pritchard said he- had - sv severe head ache and was not able to speak to-nUtbt, but wished to hear Rev. Dr. D. A. Long. of Ohio, speak. The latter then spoke and - particularly adaresaed the negro delegates. :r He said Jhe; was the-. first Democrat!. 'North - Carolinian ever eleoted pastor of a negro church.' - He said slavery had elevated the negro and degrad?d the whit rats-: , men tioned Jim Boyd's nsme in his speech and there was hearty applause. I'hsra vu a tremeuu-u snout tor Bovd but he declined to speak now; speaking he thought was Inappropriate. . aa.. i a- rtoepfi i i. p . niwiicer Blackburn; who is likely to be nomin ated for Auditor, spoke, saying the Re publicans had come here to serve no tice open the Democrats that their rule bad ended in North Carolina. - lie ea clared that there would be many Dem- ocatio converts to tiepnoiicanisorr . 3 Lusk declared that this was the finest assemblage of Republicans he had ever a VT V. ri.Mlln. Vat t K . T?A. publicans, aided by their Populist friends, would win agreat victory. He eulogized the new; election law and warned his hearers against the Democrats, saying the latter were not dead; tbat the; Democrats of North Carolina were ? no? better than ; in" South Carolina or Mississippi and would ct as they had. done in those States. He plead ed " for Republ i can h ar m on y and aaid it offered duty to the Goddess of . Liberty. Jno. O. Daney, colored, was ; tne next speaker ana ms speeca was the ablest of the evening. He said the Democrats were deserting their par ty because there wts nothing in it for them. Dancy called over the names of he gubernatorial, aspirants and while Boyd and RuswlKwere cheered, the ap plause was faint indeed when compared with tbat when he cal led Doc ker y 's name. ; Then it rose to a yell and Con tinued almost a minute while there were shouts for Dockery and hats . were thrown into the air. 1 At 11 o'clock the convention adjourn ed until 9 o'clock to-morrow morning. The credentials committee will be in session all night, i The Dookery men now claim that . they will sweep tne deak. ;. i-S :- - .. The Russell . men say that all tne members of the convention committee on credintials are anti-McKinley and anti Pritchard. save Martin and 8math ers, and tbat Martin is the only Rus sell man on 4v H.?L- Grant said to night when that committee reports there will be a howl The riot act will be read as it was never read before. Ud to 8 o clock only four counties had been disposed of by the committee. these being Chowan, Cumberland, Cra ven and Wilkes. Dee gates have been oa the streets near the hall all the after noon and evening. , There was a rumor given this after noon and to-night about W. A Guthrie being nominated.. - Senator Pritchard said: "It is a fake of the worst kind.' - Guthrie was Interviewed. He pulled oat a rabbis-foot and said he was here on Supreme Court business and merely as a looker-on. He thinks the Republi cans may get into a deadlook before they get through and, he added with a smile, ' Or coarse if tne iignining nappens w glance and strike I am not going to run away. 1 ten tne i jropuuais w aeeji cool." He says a good many of the Populist bolters here went home to-day better Populists than when they came. Hal Aver sa a the action of tne Don ers here to-day was an absolute fail ure; that they represent nothing and that when they backed down and gave wav to the Republicans, all save nve left and those were from Vance county. He declares it is folly to think lor an instant that they can commit the party to fusion. .; T. ' : J " BASSBAU. IKStltBDAT. Hew lark - Had Victory la Her Haad Bat Didat Bald Oat Cleveland. O .
