Douglas Ratification Meeting in Albany.

ALBANY, July IL, 1s6O-One of the most i'm
witnessed last night at the ratification meeting of
The Capitol Park, where the stands for speakers
were erected, was literally filled to OVERLOOKING, and
certainly 10000 people must have been out, the
crowd extending in solid mass from the steps of
the Capitol outside on State and Washington Streets
and extending down State street hill reaching near
ly to the Postofice at the foot of the street Not
one tenth of the people present could hear the
speakers from the platform, and in consequence
much confusion prevailed; but the meeting was
quite emphatic in its enthusiasm and earneastness
During the whole evening State street was blaze
OF light from the delegations that did not arrive
til late hour, and who could not get within reach
of the stand. The scene was one unsurpassed, and
indeed unequalled by any demonstration ever seen
in the city at any political gathering.
The meeting was organized with Mayor Thacher
for President Among the Vice Presidents we're
Garret q. Lansing. WIN. E. Blocker, Hon. Stephen
Clark, late American State Treasurer Josiah B.
Plumb, Henry H. Martin, ex Mayor Franklin Town
send ex.Mayor Eli Perry, James Edwards, Jeremiah
Osborne, Drastus Corning, Jr., Recorder Austin,
and other prominent citizens
Letters were received and read from Amasa j.
Parker, Hon. VIM. Kelly, Hon. Fernando Wood,
Judge Willard, of Saratoga. Mayor Wood. while
regretting that absence on account of official duties
prevented his attending, says: "At latter period
in the canvass SHALL no doubt have an opportuni-
ty to address the citizens of Albany" Speeches
were made by Peter Caggcr, Hon. W. A. Richard
son, of Illinois; Senator Goldman, of Louisiana !;
Lyman Trelnaine and Ira Shafer, OF Albany.
The demonstration was admittedly great success.

az A correspondent reminds us of the fact that
in 1885 the "stupid and unprincipled proposition"
the Register chooses to characterize the voting by
the people for the same set of Electors with nstruc-
tons to reflect the popular will in the College of
Electors, was adopted and advocated by the entire
Wing party of Virginia If the Editor of the Reg
lister was at that time the Editor of the Petersburg
Intelligeneer- we think he was-he may be
cassed among the advocates of this stupid and un-
principled proposition as that paper certainly
formed no exception The. tickets were severally
headed White and Harrison, and were spoken of by
the Enquirer as the "double-shotted ticket"
The truth is the Register is alarmed at the pros
pect Of union on the same Electoral ticket in this
State of the entire Democratic party and hence its
attempts to ridicnle plan which its own party
once adopted and which was substantially and sue
cessfnlly adopted in this State in 1924
The correspondent alluded to above informs us
that the proposition to vote for one Electoral ticket
the voters to mark their choice, Breckenridge or
Douglas, on their tickets, meets with universal APP
proyal in his section The will Of the people
ought 10 be reflected" adds our correspondent,
.'and no government is republican that does not do
it" plan of this kind would not prevent the
Electors from expressing their preference for Pres
dent Hthsy are for Breckinrdge let them sas 50; )
Il for Doug.s let them ssy se-but let diem a."

ARRAY at the Depot.

On the arrival of the Western train at the Depot
in this City on last Saturday morning alteration
took place between Mr.. Davidson, the Conductor,
and passenger whose name we understood to be
Herbemont, of Columbia S. G. NJ. H., We learn,
complained that the Conductor had not given notice
that passengers for Weldon would change cars and
baggage at Raleigh. Mr. D. asserted that he hsd
length the lie passed, but by whom first given is
uncertain, as the testimony is conflicting Several
blows passed, when Mr.. II. deliberately drew .
pistol and fred at Mr. D., the ball passing through
the feshy part of his arm and slightly grazing his
side The wound Is by no means dangerous one.
Mr.. H. is an old man, but hale and hearty, and
able to defend himself The Rev. Mr. Mott and
others testified as to his character and high stand
ing. He was for number Of years Clerk of the
Court of Appeals in South Carolina, and at one
time was U. S. Consul at Genoa. He was immedi-
ately arrested and taken before his Honor, Judge
Battle, who. after hearing the evidence, bound him
In bond of $500 to appear at the next term of our
Superior Court to answer the charge of an assault
upon Mr. Davidson. Hon. James T. Morehead and
H. g. Jones, Esq, Immediately offered themselves
as sureties, and the prisoner was released.
The matter will Undergo judicial investigation,
and we do not deem it proper to give the evidence
e''c'ted before the Judge at the examination. It
S~ an unfortunate affair, to say the least Of i,
n'oush the consequences were not very serious
Do the parties are, SO far as was can learn, high
l"aea' honorable men, and probably some misun-
outstanding occasioned the whole difficulty.

a venerable friend in this County informs US that
the PEOPLES Ticket of jackson and Adams in
1924, againstthe Congressional Caucus candidate,
Mr. Crawford, was not marked BY the voters, &C
cording to his recollection; but that the Electors,
feeling sure that majority of those who had voted
for them preferred jackson to Adams cast the vote
Of the State accordingly. The State thus voted
against Mr.. Crawford, and rebuked the attempt made
by members Of Congress to elect the President If
the Congressional Caucus system had gone on I'M
checked, the liberties of the people would have been
destroyed. Another friend writes us that at his
precinct in the Eastern part Of the State in 1924 the
voters marked their tickets jackson or Adams &C
cording to their choice; and that if his recollection
is correct this plan was generally recommended.

Gov. Ellis,s Prospects.

= =
We come forward to assure our readers and es-
pecialy our Democratic friends, now that the CAM
palgn for Governor is approaching its termination,
that the prospects Of our worthy standard-bearer,
Gov Ellis, are excellent in all parts Of the State
we have recently heard from the mountains, from
the Albemarle, the Cape Fear and the middle por-
TONS OF the country; and we can truly say that
there is much in the information we have received
to animate and crafty the friends Of our candidate
Welearn that his triumphs over Mr. Pool in their
discussions in the West have been signal, and that
this was especially the case at Ashevle. The wa
vering have bee confirmed, those who were already
warm in the cause have been fired with new ZEAL
and many changes have been made, which will tell
on election day.
But while our prospects are thus fattering we
must not intermit our exertions for moment Our
adversaries are shrewd, INSCRIPTIONS, active, and
untiring. They are bringing all their strength to
bear in the contest They are counting on carrying
both the Governor and the Legislature. Never be-
fore have they demagoguet they are demagogue-
ing now. We cannot initiate them in this respect
but we can lay the truth all the topics discussed
before the people, and then trust to their ntelli-
gence their Judgment and their discriminating JUS
tice Large majorities like those we have now, are
as frequently lost by the supineness or over-conf
dence of those who obtained them as by the activity
and energy of opponents We can maintain our
majorities only as we won them. There are no
resting places in politics There are no fixed figures
for majorities. Popular feeling GIBBS and flows like
the If we would be certain of success sre mast
nork as If success ucsre doubtful If our maorties
for Governor and the Legislature should be reduced
or if by possibility should be defeated, let no
Democrat have to reproach himself after the cleo
ton with the reflection that his duty was not per-
formed.
Remember, brother Democrats, that the election
is close at hand. We have no time to lose If you
have not argued with and convinced your neighbor,
commence the work at once If you have not seen
and talked with that lukewarm Democrat, call upon
him today or tomorrow and stir him up. Let us
bring out all the ootes and victory will be ours. A
full Democratic vote is always Democratic victory.
