Aa to the nominees of to-day, the Journal has no fcara of fail ing to get good men to bear the standard of the grand old Demo cratic party on . to victory, and to a greater ; degree of improvement than has already been attained under its administration in the last eight years. , ; THE STATE CONVENTION TO-DAY. ' Ko more important convention, since the constitutional convention " of 1875, has met in this State, than the Democratic convention which 'assembles at Raleigh to-day. " ' The convention of '75 was called to remodel land amend a constitu tion given to the people of the Com monwealtb, by such means and un der such circumstances as rendered the best portion of it objectionable, while its worst features were well nigh detested. That convention did a good work, and would not go into as extreme measures of amend ment as some desired, but gave a fair working constitution, and one that will improve with age and be come more and more popular with the people who prosper as they have so far under its operation. The present form of county govern ment which eminated from that convention, is founded on solid . rtrinciDles and contains the best gr k features of both the other constitu tions. It is not a mere arrangement of expediency, as many thiuk it is. Magistrates were never elected by the people in this State, until Rad icalism offered it asa boon to the colored voters, and never worked satisfactory to the best citizens. Illiterate persons of both races were put in the magistrate's chair by those votes and, we believe the worst set of magistrates that ever existed were those elected by the popular vote; in this section it was uubarable. As to the election of the boards of commissioners, we think the board of magistrates can and do give us as good if not better than the people did, when left to popular choice. ' ' Now the importance of the con vention to-day consists mainly in the fact that the issue of county government has to be met in the coming campaign. Radicalism, aided by Liberalism, ; proposes to break down the barriers which this system has set up to protect the counties from the gross improprieties that were perpetrated bv the elected boards under the 1868 carte blanch. Give -them the election of the board of commissioners, and the ' .. key to every strong box of the countv is theirs: straw bonded v sheriffs, clerks, registers, and treas ' ures would prevail, and the protec tion now enjoyed would be forever - gone. In this county we have good officers in the four named. They are Republicans and elected by the people, but each one of them knows to-day that -would not be in office but for the fact that they can and v do file good . and sufficient bonds: 1 while if a board of commissioners, such as might be elected, was to be the judge of the security, they would - ; do as our worthy postmaster is . .. called upon to do; that is, step down and out to make room for a colored : . man. - In the view of all this, let the convention plant itself firmly on the platform of principles and em phasize its devotion to them; no milk and - cider, planks such as "wedded to no particular form of ronntv government." as was once o - - sent out from a State convex tion, like Noah's dove in search of land, and returned like Aodl Alteram Partem. Editor Journal: I have seen copies of the Journal of the 20th and 21st insts., in which you com plain of the injustice done the lower end of the Second Congressional District in the convention held at Weldon on the 18th inst. for the purpose of selecting delegates to Chicago and nominating a candi date for Congress. Having known the character of the Journal and its editors since the paper was first issued, and feel ing assured that you would neither do injustice to a county or an indi vidual nor purposely foment dis cord and dissensions in your party ranks, 1 ask that you will allow me space in your columns to reply to some of your arguments, which are obviously: based upon exparte statements. In the first place, Mr. Galloway, late chairman of the Executive Committee of this district, through a card published for several weeks in many of the Democratic papers of the district suggested that the Convention of the Second Congres sional District be held at Weldon. He did not arrogate to himself the authority to make the call. But granting the irregularity of the call, was not that cured by the se lection of delegates, by the people, to represent the people, at the time and place, and lor the purposes mentioned in the call ! You complain at the injustice done your end of the district by selecting Weldon as the place to hold the convention. By reference to the map of the Second Congres sional District, Jou will find that Vance and Warren counties would have been inconvenienced quite as much by holding the convention where you suggested as were Jones and Craven, while the counties of Bertie, Halifax, Northampton ana dgecomoe were more convenient to Weldon than to any other point in the district The object of the chairman seemed to be to select that point more readily accessible to the greatest number of counties and you hava only to look at the map of the district, as 1 suggest, to see that this was clone. The convention was not called to order until after 12 o'clock on the day named for its meeting. I am reliably informed that it is not true iiat Capt. Peebles received a tele' gram asking him to await the ar rival of the delegates from Craven and Jones before proceeding with the business of the convention Two telegrams were sent by gentle men residing m the Third Con gressional District, asking that the name of a certain gentleman be properly presented to the conven tion for the nomination for Con gress. And this request was fully complied with by the delegate from that candidate's own county After having been in session about three hours and having completed its work, the convention adjourned ust as the delegates from uraven and Jones arrived. All the coun ties in the district, which sent dele As a participant in the proceedings of the convention, I confess that I did not see any of the political trickery or jobbery of which you complain and which, if it existed. you so justly condemn. I I suspect that your informant was the Congressional candidate, favored as you say by that "end of the line,'- who desired the nomina tion to enable him to supplant "a certain well known gentleman who enjoys an easy birth in Washing ton City." If this be true, if your informant sought the ' Congressional nomina tion to "strengthen his claims" for place, I submit that it is creditable to the convention that it saw fit to adopt a higher standard of political morality. In the statement of his case. Your informant confesses himself in pari delicto&ntiL by every principle of justice and equity , he ought not to be afforded relief by the Dress the fountain bead of political virtue, ' morality and jus tice. One word with regard to Wilson county: Since the Second Congressional District was formed, Wilson has never asked for, and nothing has ever before been voluntarily be stowed upon her in the district con ventions.; It has always been true to the party and is now the only county in the district which will give a Democratic majority in the approaching election. ' 7 '-J 1 : At the recent convention held in Weldon, one gentleman from Wil son desired to go as a delegate, to Chicago and he received the ap pointment. I Know that Wilson neither sought nor expected the Congressional nomination, r Now as to your end of the district: f you will take the pains to in quire, 1 thint you win ascertain that on . the morning of the 18th, the day on which the convention was held at Weldon, a telegram of your city, asking him whether he would accept the nomination lor Congress, and it was assured by all who mentioned the matter up to the time the convention met that had he replied in the affirmative, he would have received the nomina tion almost unanimously. ; lour years ago Mai. Hughes, ot your city, went as a delegate to the National Convention, and Henry L. Bryan, Esq., also of your city, was nominated lor elector, a po sition universally considered more desirable in this district than the nomination for Congress. i Eight years ago Lenoir county furnished the presidential elector in the person of John F. Wooten, Esq. leave you and the public to judge which end of the district has fared the better. " ' In your little fling that "Wilson ought not now to claim any place on the State ticket," I thought saw the manifestation of some spirit of revenge, which was rather un fortunate in view of what Craven has received in the past, and what, from the number of her worthy and Ml f ROYAL TSCTt J -to.

' - Now -while it may bo unfortunate and a matter of regret that those counties were not represented. subnit that the convention was not to blame for the delay of their dele eates.' I think you are fair enough to argree that it was too much to exnect that the delegates from seven counties, most of whom ar rived in W eldon tne day ueiore tne convention, should have quietly consented to remain over another dav to gratify two counties whose delegates had uniortunateiy leit home too late and especially wnen they had given no notice that they were coming. I believe that you would hot make a charge reflecting upon any individual or body of men except upon what you regarded as reliable authority. . I give you credit for entire hon esty and sincerity of purpose in your editorial of the 21st inst., in which you almost go to tne exrent of charging a conspiracy upon the Dart of the Democratic Kepresenta- tives from seven counties "to de- prive the Democrats of this end of the district ot tneir representation, or to out them to unnecessary ex Dense" and time to attend," and again when you say "it is charged that there was trickery and jobbery in the convention;" but I think yon owe it to yourself and the Demo crats upon whom you so seriously reflect; to state upon wnat author ity you prefer so ; grave a charge, ness, sue' wm ; always acquiesce cheerfully in the selection of worth ler men. '.. : I deplore anything like strife and contention among Democrats. have made this statement in the in terest of harmony, and not in controversial spirit, for no one could understand better than myself the folly of provoking an acrimonious discussion ' with an editor tnrougn the columns of his own paper. 1 As the Journal first complained of the result of the convention, trust that yoa will allow mo the same medium through which to give what I ; regard as fair 1 statement ;' of the ; whole matter . " and. r permit , me 1 to say in conclusion, that in my opin ion, no one has sunered injustice by the action of that . convention ex cept him, who without any selfish purpose in view, yielded to the de mand of his party to .become the leader of a forlorn hope. . , ; Eespectfully yours, John E.
