Of Henry Clay, executed by new process which
is styled prometheotype. The first copy of the
portrait was presented to Captain Mathews, of the
steamship City Of Glasgow. The Philadelphia In
quirer sage it Is great work of art, and will add
much to the attractions in the large saloon OF this
ocean steamer. The frame, designed expressly for
the occasion, is also Of national character, and
in harmony with the originality and beauty Of the
portrait, being Of heavy rosewood, decorated with
stars, and upon the top is the American eagle,
standing guard upon the "star spanglcd banner"

those into whose hands the settle

was entrusted, that one of the candi-
dates alone should take the field,
and the mantle having fallen upon
Capt. George 7. Heb, 1 feel myself
bound by every honorable considera-
ton to yield at once, and to cheer
fully abide their decision. This ar
rangement was entered into, as | then
believe led, by all the candidates with
the best of feeling for the Democratic
cause, and with the belief that such
course would produce harmony in
the Democratic ranks. / am truly
sorry that so much dissatisfaction
should exist as is manifested, partic-
ularly amongst some aspirants, at
tie result of the labors of twenty
five good citizens, chosen from every
district in the County. / dare not
for on e moment believe, that those
men acted wrong; | believe they
acted in good faith, an d, consequent
~, believe it to be tn e duty of all
the candidates to yield implicit obe--
dience to their decision. And now,

with the very best of feeling for all
those who acted as pacificators, and

FAYETTEVILLE, July 10, 1891.
Messrs. Berry e. Wallace:
| have seen in your paper of to-
day, what you inform me is Capt.
He6b's version of what he calls a
Convention held in this place on
Wednesday last, which is evidently
designed to do me gross I'M ustice.-
Capt. Heb knows that was opposed
to the whole arrangement from be-
ginning to end, because l did not be-
heve it would give satisfaction to the
Democratic party. By the advice of
a particular friend, however, l did
consent for my name to go before the
so-called Convention, upon the ex-
press condition that the delegates
IfiIom the diferent2 districts should
vote the sentiments of the districts
that they represented. l am in
formed that Col. D. s. Hobbs made
a motion to this effect in the room,
before they comm fenced ballOting;
but the motion was voted down, and
the delegates only voted their own
entlments, and not the will of their
districts. But be this as it may, l
can prove that the sentiments of the
different districts were not fairly re-
Elected in the sud Convention; con-
sequently, | consider myself honora-
bly, absolyed from any and all obliga-
lions to abide by its decision. l
have no unkind feeling towards any
member of said Convention, but l
cam ot believe that the thirteen gen.

the standard-beare ofthe four thou
sand Democrats of this County and
Giles, knew a anything about his po-
litical opinions. have the following
chargesto make against my honorable
competitor, which l dare him to deny
over his ownproper signature. Charge
lst-Captain Hebb has been Wing

speeches for the last four weeks in
