On yesterday the Republican State
Convention met at Topeka, to elect
delegates to the Presidential Conven-
ton at Chicago. A. l. Reddin, of But
Ter county, was chosen temporary
chairman. w. w. Walton, ID. B.
Ashley and r. Saxey were elected sec
retaries. The temporary organization
was made permanent. The Common
Wedlth contains the following:
While waiting for committee work,
Judge Hanback, was called out for q
speech, which he delivered in his usu-
al style, eulOgizing both the prOmi-
nent candidates for the Presidency,
and prophesying that no member of
this Convention would eat crow.
The following gentlemen were elect
ed delegates to the Chicago COnven-
tion-all Blaine men, and instructed:
John A. Martin, Perry Hutchinson,
George H. Case, s. Motz, s. s. Bene-
diet, b. F. Simpson, b. w. Perkins,

johnson, w. J. Buchan, L. X. Kirk,
+. A. Howard. r. w. p. Muse, G. II.
Daniels and J. c. Long.
These delegates were elected by the
entire Convention. The Grant men
claimed that this action was contrary
to the intent and spirit and words of
the call for the National Convention,
which provided for elscting delegates
by Congressional districts, and an
nOunced that in the Second and Third
Districts, which were clearly for Grant,
they proposed to elect District dele
gates. This was done, and IT. J. An
dersOn and J. NJ. Steele were elected
delegates from the Third District, and
T. c. Sears and S. A. Day i'm the Second
District. The votes on the different
questions that came up before the Con-
ventiOn showed that it was for Blaine
by at least fifty majority. The follow
ing gentlemen were elected Presiden-
tial electors: John Schilling, w. A.
PETER, Jas. ID. Snoddy, X. w. p Muse
and II. Richie.

If there is not growing anti-Grant

If there is not growing anti-Grant
feeling in the country it will argue
want Of influence Oh the part of the
New York Tribune, for the sailors Of a
sinking ship never worked more
vigorously at the pumps to save their
lives than that journal does TO pump
up and spread over the country
prejudice against General Grant. The
Tribune circulates more generally
among the farmers ofthis country than
any other metropolitan paper. Much
of Blaine's strength in this vicinity has
been created by the Tribune articles.
But only the other day there appeared
a long article in this self-same paper
which practically acknowledged that
Grant would be nominated at Chicago.
And that even i'm that event the coun-
try would not go to the bow-wows.

THE Democrats are in high state
of worry on the Washburne-Donnelly
matter. If they conclude to commit
the crime of counting out Mr.. WASH
burne, they are confronted by the fact
that Donnelly then will take his place,
but even Democrats don't like to trust
such a traitor as Donnelly, and if
they admit him il is very questionable
whether they can rely upon him to
vote on all their measures. If they
declare the seat vacant, it follows that
q new election will at once take place,
and Washburne is certain to be re-
turned by heavier majority than
ever

ED. f. & M-Allow me to second your
nomination Of Julian s. Carr fer Lieut..
Governor. He is the man for the place.
Too much cannot we'll be said in his praise.
He is energetic, intelligent, practical, SEN
sIble, o-aheadative. He is a w~ide-awake.
progressive man, Of fine business q~ualifica
ton. Above all he is a christian: one that
has light aud lets it shine. Would that we

osity to which you refer. they are without
number. He is the poor mans friend. He
is pre-eminently fitted head and heart, fer
the position of Lieut-Governor.
From the newspaper correspondence, I
should judge that some of Gov. Jarvis's
friends, are making q desperate effort to
have him nominated for Governor. have
nothin. to say against Mr.. Jarvis. But
where in North Carolina can we find d su-
perior that heightened, christian gentleman,
that noble, pure, patriotic statesman, that
great, gifted eloquent orator, Hon. Daniel
G.. Fowlel And the Democratic State Con-
~vention in making its nominations should
of course choose men Of requisite qualifica-
tons, but not forget droiIabi7tty. Just
suppose Jarvis had been at the head Of the
ticket in 1876. and Fowle and Vance not
in the field Where would we have been in
Nov. '76 Why in all probability Settle
would have been elected and the State car
ried for Hayes. A great deal depends upon
who is nominated this year. Judge Fowle
can get a larger number of votes than any
man in the State. Ourdelegates should go to
Raleigh in June remembering the dark days
of Radicalism in North Carolina, and that the
President election may hinge on our State
this year, aud losing North Carolina may
give US Grantism, Third Termism, Impe-
rialism. Then if we want to make sure Of
carrying North Carolina next November,
let US place at the head Of our ticket. Dan
iel G. Fowle and Julian S. Carr, and all will
be we'll.

THUS FAR! FowLE STILL LEADING !
We last week estimated that of the counties
which have held meetings, Gov. Jarvis
might reasonably count on BERTHE IL votes.
Halifax 3, (one-sixth,) Henderson Z, Tran
~sylvania 4, Haywood 10. Total 50.
And that Judge Fowle might with equal
ieasonableness count on Brunswick 10, Gran
vile "a, Halifax IA, New Hanover l6, Pen
der II. We have seen no reason to alter
these estimates. Since then, Bladen has
appointed her delegates who are believed to
largely favor Judge Fowle. Possibly the
county may be divided, giving 7 votes apiece
70 Jarvis and Fowle. Moore has also appoin-
ted delegates, more than half of whom are
known to be for Fowie. Wake has also cast
her ~ votes fer her adopted son. Jackson
has given Jarvis her 6 votes. The vote,
therefore. to the best Of our knowledge and
belief, thus far stands about Sc to 80.
Doubtless next week the Jarvis counties will
begin to roll in.

. manifested. Geo. II. Snow, ESQ.,,
minated Capt. Oscar Rand, of Panther

xsre found represented. Senator Snow led
og with a resolution endorsing Judge Fowle
- eminently fit and worthy to be nominated
sr Governor, and instructing the county
vote to be cast for him. Capt. Octavius
coke promptly took the floor in vigorous
opposition to the .'instructing'' feature of
t6e resolution. Which he said was an at
tempt to gag the minority. AS a matter Of
course the friends of Judge Fowle at once
responded that in BERTHE, where Judge f.
has a large following), in Henderson, Hay
wood, and other counties wherein the Jarvis
sen predominated, they enforced this gag
whereas in Halifax, Granville, and elsewhere
the Fowle men made no pressure of the
Kind. Capt. Coke, Mr.. Gillian and other
friends of Gov. Jarvis made an exceedingly
vigorous fight; but the popular sentiment
ran too strongly against them, and the reso-
lutions were adopted by overwhelming vote.
v. II. Pace, Esq, introduced resolutions
endorsing Gen. Cox for Congress, which
passed in similar manner. On motion of
Nr. Whitley, Esq, the present Supt. of
Public Schools was endorsed for renomina-
ton.
