The Breach Closed.
VIM. YOUNG, Secretary.
June 9th, 1881.

The Democratic city convention of Balti-
more met ON Saturday last and nominated
Hon. William Pinkney Whyte for mayor.
Gov. Whyte promptly accepted the nomi-
nation in short letter, in which he pledges
himself if elected, to administer the Office in
no partisan spirit, but as the representative
of the whole people of his native city.
Governor Whyte also addressed letter to
the committee of One Hundred, accepting
their nomination for the same office. In his
letter to these gentlemen he recognizes them
as Democrats, and declares his opposition to
any selfconstitutcd leadership of the party ;
is in favor of fair primary meetings, honestly
conducted; advocates new and correct re-
gistration, and adds:
"The Democratic party is in favor of full
and free elections fairly conducted, fan hon
est count, and am in favor of the most
stringent measures to secure these results,
upon which depends the whole fabric of our
republican form ofgovernment. Upon these
questions there Is no division in the body of
the Democratic party, and | trust discord will
not prevail upon any minor points. | shall
engagein no canvass ofpersonal vitupcration,
trustworthy candidates we can work out all
needful reforms shall urge union and har
mony among the Democratic masses"
The nomination ofGov. Whyte for mayor
of Baltimore city, by the regular Democratic
organization, after the expression of their
preference for him by the friends of Gov
Hamilton, will no doubt extinguish any hopes
which the Republicans may have formed of
split in the Democratic ranks The Demo
cratic party, as Gov. Whytcnd Gov. IIamil-
ton both say, is not divided on any vital
point of principle. There was no reason
why the Democrats of Baltimore should not
nominate Mr.. Whyte as their candidate for
mayor. He has already been tried in the
highest offices in the gift of the people of the
State, and has filled every position with rare
and distinguished ability. AS Governor he
was keenly alive to the interest and welfare of
the State, and in the Senate of the United
States he was a representative of whom we
could feel proud. lie reflected credit on his
native State and won for himself national
reputation as a statesman, extOrting praises,
even, from MS polltlcal opponents. TO some
men the acceptance of the nomination for
mayor of Baltimore might seem to involve a
descent in the political scale, but the interests
ofour great metropolis have grown to be so
large, varied and important as to demand
talents of the highest order in the executive
chair. Gov. Whytes acceptance of these
nominations shows not only desire to
harmonic the conflicting elements in the
Democratic party, hut also willingness to
use his talents in any sphere where they can
be useful to his fellow citizens His devotion
to Democratic principles, his integrity and his
great ability can not be spared when the peo-
pie of Maryland want a fitting representa-
tive, and in due time they will call him to
more honorable if not more important duties

STATE SENATE.-H'E ditOr: As the time
- is fast approaching for the selection of suita
Bile candidates To represent this county in the
next General Assembly of Maryland, it would be
well that the attention of the Democracy of Har-
ford should be called to an early consideration of
the question, who the candidates should be? First
in Importance is the choice of proper candidate
for the State Senate. That he should be a man of
undoubted integrity, business habits, intelligence
and sohriety, no one can deny; and the friends of
the Hon. FRANKLIN WHITAKER, in present
ing his name To the Democrats of Hartford for
nomination as candidate for State Senator, feel
the above attributes to the fullest extent In his
hands this important trust would be faithfully
discharged. Public interests would not be allow
ed to suffer through consideration for those of a
private character. All needed reforms would be
supported, and proper economy in the admins
tration of the State government would be MAIN
tanned. In word his efforts would be solely di-
rccted to the PUBLIC GOOD.

FREDERICK W. BAKER, edito,

Fifty ministers of the different
Methodist denominations of this
country, many of them with their
wives and children, sailed from
New York, last week, in the steam
er City Of Berlin, to attend the
Methodist Ecumenical Council which
convenes in London on the Tth of
September next. DR.. McFcrrin and
other distinguished Tennesseans
were of the number. The Ecumen-
ical Council is the Supreme Assem-
bly, of the Methodists all over the
world, and is one of the largest re-
ligious gatherings on the earth. 1t
is not inappropriate, therefore, to
say that the doings of this venera-
BILE and august body will be inter
esting to all christians, and especial
ly to the people called Methodists,
nor out of place to suggest that, in
asmuch as the Nashville Christian
Ad6ocate has made arrangements to
secure a full report of the proceed
ings of the Council, now is a good
time to subscribe for that truly ex-
cellent paper-by far the ablesC con-
Quoted and best household paper of
all the AdUocate family.

THE VIRGINIA REPUBLI0ANS.

THE VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS
The convention called by the Vir-
ginia Republicans to nominate a
State ticket met in Lynchburg la st
Wednesday. What happened, in
brief was this The two factions
the 'coalitionists and straight
out" -met in separate halls as two
distinct conventions. Efforts to eff
feet a compromise, on the basis OF
making no Endorsements and no
nominations where Republican sue
cess was uncertain, failed. The
coalitionists were full of ardor and
confidence, and the straightouts
were demoralized and depressed.
After indorsing Mahonism to the
fullest extent the former, at an early
hour on the morning of the 18th,
adjourned, sine die. The latter,
having nominated w. c. Wickham
for Governor, Samuel NJ. YOst for
Lieutenant Governor and Westell
Willoughby for attorney general
all Of whom declined-also at 2:14
P. III adjourned, after some discus
sion of the platform and indulgence
in mutual reproaches. The coali-
ton faction passed resolutions ar
raigning what it calls "the Bourbon
Democratic party of Virginia" for
various alleged sins, and commend
ing "the anti-Bourbon or liberal
party for various alleged virtues,
and in conclusion invited all other
Republicans to assist them to effect
the final overthrow of Bourbon
oppression, intolerance and tyranny
in the State of Virginia" The
straightouts adopted a platform
which favors a capitation tax "for
revenue only" and without relation
to the franchise, and includes a
stirring appeal to their political
brethren to sustain the character
hitherto borne by the Republican
party as an honest party. The dispo-
sition of the straightouts was to nom
mate full ticket, while the coali-
honIsts are eager to endorse Malone.
Both wings are working to gain the
negro vote, and consequently in the
each convention elected |
a negro chairman. In a word, the |
of the Republicans to the
at this time appears to US
complete, and

The editor of the Bakersville On
CO. Voice, who recently visited this
place, speaks thus of the managers
of one Of our most promising indus
tries:
While visiting Morristown, Tenn, re-
Gently, we had the plesure of making
the acquaintance of Messrs. W.
II. s. E. G.. Coffman, enterprising tin
ners and stove dealers of that place
Their large business house presented an
air of business which was pleasing and
attractive to the eye. and industry was
visible on every hand and in every di-
rection our eyes led us to look. These
gentlemen are comparatively new begin
ners, but from what we saw and learned
while there, they are destined to reap
large and profitable trade in the future
growth of the city and to extend their
trade iuto the surrounding country as
soon as they become acquainted with
the trading public of that section
They are prepared to furnish any kind
of a stove and to do all kinds of tin Job
work, such as guttering and roofing, in
the best workmanship style, at the low
est prices. They are manufacturers Of
all kinds of tin goods and sell to country
cheap for cash.

THE WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA
RAILROAD.
AsheyiIls News.

The work of this road is now being
pushed as rapidly as possible by the pres
sent managers. After this property
came fairly under tile control of the
Richmond s. Danville road, and Mai.
Andrews elected President, there has
been an impetus given to the work that
it did not receive while controlled by
Best and his syndicate Major Wilson,
with the convicts, is going forward with
Paint Rock Branch. at the rate of a mile
week, which, owing to the character
of the work, is very rapid progress,
audit will be but very short time I'M
til the road will be finished to Marshall
when the entire force will be put on the
section between that point and Paint
Rock While we do not believe that
this branch of the road will be COM
pleted as soon as many have been led to
expect, still Major Wilson will carry on
the work with all the dispatch possible
and no one ought to complain of the
progress that is being made.
On the Ducktown Branch, the Con-
tractors, Rice 81 Coleman, Fortune,
Fagg & Co., are doing the grading with
the rapidity and energy that is charac-
teristic of these veteran raiIroaders.
The heaviest jobHon this branch, is that
of Fagg s. Co., ne,-r Pigeon river. at
this poiut cut is being made eighty
feet deep, with a corresponding fill
Capt. Fagg is giving this portion of he
work his personal attention, and het
works with his coat off, too. He has
reduced railroad building to a system
and requires all his subordinates to work
up to it, at the same time he sets the ex-
dmple, and does as much manual labor
and spends more hours on the work
than any one in his employ. The com
tractors On this brahch of the road
employ exclusively free labor, and can't
get as many men rs they want. Labor
is in demand on this road, and no one
can complain for want of work. At the
present time, the Western North Caro-
lima Railroad, under the management of
the Richmond Sc Danvilie Company
will be completed as soon as can be
reasonably expected, at least to Pigeon
River and Paint Rock.

BUTLER's SCHOOL BOOKS.

We invite attention to the adver-
tisement in this weeks GAZETTE rel
ativc to the New American series of
school books, for which John w.
Paulett, of Knoxville, is agent for
the Southern States. We especially
desire that every parent, every edu-
Gator and every school officer would
mark we'll the success which this
series has achieved, and thus be pre-
pared to act intelligently, in their
respective spheres, in the interests
of economy and uniformity. For
many long years, as a public journ-
alist, we have plead for cooperation
on the part of those concerned in
bringing about uniformity in text
books in private and public schools.
At times we have felt greatly dis
couraged in our efforts, and have
feared that our eyes would not be-
hold that which our hearts so ar
IDENTIFY desired, and for which we had
SO persistently labored. To-day,
however, all is right, The adoption
of this series by Knox county, by
the Knoxville city schools, by Sc
vier, Roane, Jefferson, Cooke, Haw-
kins, Hamblen and other leading
counties, for exclusive use in the
public schools, is but the counterpart
of what has been done or is doing in
other parts of the State, and to that
extent inaugurates the desirable
feature that persons moving from
one county to another can take their
books with them, and not be fore
ed to purchase new books Leading
educators everywhere speak we'll of
them. The price at which they are
offered, tho great care with which |
they have been graded, and their
practical adaptation to uso in the
school room, backed up by the in
dustry and energy of the agent, has
carried them over all opposition and
they are in demand as no other Sc
ries has ever been in this common
Much of this is due the
handsome, genial agent,
Mai. John W. Paulctt, for the part
he has performed in bringing about
The grand result. Let him, now,
thrust in his sickle and reap the gold
IN sheaves that have ripened I'M
Ter his fruitful culture, and receive
he applaud, "well dOne" from the
for whom he has labored
10 long and so faithfully.

OUR SOUTHERN CONNECTIONS
The news is good and cheering
from tho North Carolina end of our

an article copied elsewhere from the
Asheville NeacS our local readers will
be pleased to hear that passengers
are now landed at Alexander's, ten
miles this side of Asheville, and that
the cars in a short time will be run

miles of the Warm Springs. The
Charleston NelcS makes it even bet
ter stating that the trains will run to
within two and half miles of Mar
shall this week. By the first of Oc-
tober, it says, the road will be run
ming to within two miles of the warm
Springs. AT that point the French
Broad will be crossed at a very pic
turesque spot by an iron bridge 24O
feet in length 1t will be the long
est single span in the State, and will

work on the Tennessee end of the
line is bong vigorously pushed for
ward, and we are assured there will
be no let in its completion in due
time. In fact, we have it from reli-
able authority that the Richmond |
and Danville road and the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia road
have entered into bonds with each
other to have their respective ends
