HOLLY SPRINGS, September 10, 1890.


Editors Dispatch write TO correct your
paper. In your issue Of Yesterday you say,
in your report OF the Republican C0nven-
top, that my nomination not being second
ed was withdrawn. This is an error. BY
one Of the delegates my name was present.
ed while another delegate bad the floor, and
hence the nominating delegate was not re-
cognlZed. Delegate Southwark, of Henrico
county, was to second my nomination II
should consent to the use OF my name. But
had determined by that time that would
not consent. Shortly afterward, during a
conversation, Mr.. Southwark suggested that
Notwithstanding the informality OF the pre-
sentatiOn OF my name, il might possibly
have been entered by the secretary. Upon
that asked him 10 step upon the stage and
satisfy himself; il he found 1t so he would
favor me by having it stricken "a. He did
find my name so entered, and erased il. AS
an explanation OF this will say that for
many days before the Convention met, 80
many evidences OF decentralization and dis
ntegration in the Republican party forced
themselves upon me that was compelled 10
have grave doubis as to the situation. i
did not wish TO join battle with all the con-
ditions OF defeat paramount, and these con-
ditions were looming gravely up. The
Convention met, and every hour OF its life
developed them in more unrelenting and
sinister forms; so at the last 1t was my fixed
resolution that | would not lend TO the
Convention the countenance Of my name az
@ candidate, JOSEPH WALKER.

MANCHESTER AND VICINITY.

Rescued from a Watery Grave.-Yes.er-
day afternoon ten-year-old son Of Mr.
Moore, who resides on Fourth street near
Hull, in this city, narrowly escaped being
drowned in the canal in front OF the CEDAR
Works building. BY some means he fell
from the bridge into the water. Some OF
his companions were on the bank and saw
him when he fell overheard. Their screams
attracted Mr.. A. Trent Miller, clerk at the
Cedar Works, who was in his Office at the
time. Mr.. Miller FASTENED out, and, see-
ing young Moore struggling in the wa.
ter, jumped in with clothes on and brought
the boy TO the shore, but not without great
difficulty. The little fellow was carried TO
bis home. But for Mr.. Miller the boy would
no lsubt have been drowned.
