I nguestionably the first action OF the
State Convention. after organization, should
be the selection of delegates 10 Cincinnati,
as less than three days will be allowed to
reach that city and it is doubtful if the
delegates can all arrive In time TO take part
in the organization. In this connection. We
desire to urge the name of Col. Wharton j.
Green. of Warren and Cumberland, aS one
of the delegates. We have not met with
him in a long time, but 1t Is understood
among his friends that he would take pleas
ure in representing the State at Cincinnati !;
this being the only office be has ever been
willing to accept-though he has always been
a jealous worker for the party, and has contrl-
buted more Literally to Its expenses than any
man In North CarOllna-nOt IN Othce. ! ear
after year, he has drawn his cheque for large
sums, quietly and modestly, for the sake OF
the cause, not for personal notorlety; and
though he would never think of making a
merit of it, we and others think differently.
No better man could be selected. He is a true
Southerner, but wide-awake to the needs OF
the hour in politics. This is shown by his
preferences Bayard or Hancock, or any
gates can harmonic. With these setti-
ments, and the ~pecuniary ability to meet all
possible expenses, Col. Green would be the
Wight man in the right place.
l-The Recorder gives an interesting ac-
count of the marriage of MIR. W. L. Pearce
and Miss Carrie Reams, of Durham, on
Wednesday night of last week. Let the
FARMER AND MECHANIC tender its most
hearty fluctuations, before we quote as
follows:-''The immense crowd filled every
seat long before the arrival of the bridal
party. The grace and beauty of the coming
bride, naturally excited in the minds OF
every one the desire to be present and as al
evidence Of the interest, our streets were
| entirely deserted, at that hour. The church
was most handsomely decorated, with ever
greens and flowers. The following ladies
and gentlemen were walters Miss Della
Re IN and H. p. Markham Miss Maria
Pstrham and J.. W. Goodson Miss Lucy
Reams and l.. E. Cooper Miss Ca re Ra,

l.. Dibrell Miss Jennie Halliburton ano
Al. H. Stokes Miss Sallie lyle and L. I.
buchanan Miss Octa Durham and }. G
Angler. They were welcomed within the
walls Of the church by a wedding marcl
most beautifully rendered By Miss Addit
Holman. The bride and bridesmaids were
most beautifully dressed in white Of cost,
material. The ceremony was performed b,
the Rev. G.. Durham. After the marriag,
the bridal party returned With their friend
to the home OF the bride, Mr.. Frank Reams
where they participated in a magnificent

FROM a "wiot." wow" or 'wumpuss" (as
Dbadreary saith at their convention in
Rockingham on Wednesday last. The out

IalIs we'll that ends well, The convention
was large and spirited. Gen. Dargan nomi-
mated Col. r: [. Bennett, who began with
80 votes, and On the 18th ballot climbed to

beginning with 70, reached 40 on the 9TH
ballot. Col. \. Rowland, starting with 21,
reached Is, on the last ballot. Mai. W. \.
Graham was not named until the last ballot,
when be received u votes. Mai. Clement
Dowd, beginning with Il, reached Il on the
18th ballot, and 80 on the 18th ballot, Sc
curing his nomination.
Col. r. [. Bennett was elected, By a ella
nation, Elector and Col. Robt. L Steele
and Col. Paul B. Means were sent as dele
gates to Cincinnati. Geo. +. Wilson, ESD,
and Col. W. F. French, alternates. Maj.
Dowd and Col. Bennett. in response to loud
calls, made appropriate speeches.
The result is, probably, the best that
could be hoped for under the circumstances.
As we remarked two weeks ago-''Bully
for Dowd He is a square man morally,
mental almost we were about to say
physically. He belongs to a respectable
Moore couaty family. and settled in Char
lotte after the war with no very bright pros
rect before him. But he grew! For a
time associated with Gov. Vance, he early
set out for himself. He put forth efforts
which expanded both his mind, his reputa-
ton, and his pocket. He found time for
his profession, for an occasional lapse into
literature. and for a close eye uron politics.
He is now President of the Commercial Ma
tional Bank, has a fine law practice, owns
one Of the handsomest residences in the
city. filed with bright boys and girls: and
when he takes his seat in Congress no one
will be ashamed of his standing therein.
His nomination, we presume, will har-
monte the District. Many will regret the
loss Of Steele hundreds will sigh that their
favorites, Graham, Hoke, Bennett, ct al.
must be laid aside for two years. But
Mecklenburg has long deserved a represen.
tatlve, and we are glad she has gotten him.
