There was meeting Tuesday of the di-
rpctOrs Of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad. The subject of a plan for the
permanent financial relief of the company

taken. as It was considered advisable to

the foreign interest, said the London and
Amsterdam holders seemed to have entire
confidence in the future of the road,

ing to come to the relief Of the company

WASHINGTON, June ga queer story
is talked of tonight by Republican
politicians of high standing. 1t is to the
effect that well known journalist went
to the White House to-day and said to
President Arthur, in behalf of George
William Curtis, that the New York Inde-
pendents were anxious to know whether
in case the Democrats nominated
u bad candidate and the Indepen-
dents nominated Arthur at Saratoga
Arthur would accept. The President is
said to have to replied that he would not,
and to have added that month ago the
Independents thought him unfit to sup
port, and that he had not changed in the
month. He is also said to have said that
having pledged Blaine his support, he
proposed to support him cordially to the
extent of his power. In this connection
a similar question is said to have been
addressed to Mr.. Edmunds and a similar
reply received. The story cannot be for
mally verified tonight, but the men who
tell it are of unimpeachable veracity.

RALEIGH, June 26.-The Democratic
State Convention was the largest ever
held in this State. The State ticket, which
gives great satisfaction, is as follows
For State Treasurer, Donald Balm; for

Finger; for Attorney General, T. F. Da-
wilson; for Secretary Of State, W. L..
Saunders; for Auditor, W. Roberts;

Nerriman. The delegates-at-large TO Chi
cago are Thomas Ruffin, VIM. f. DArtch,
Julius Carr and George H. Brown. The
entire delegation will meet in Washing
ton on the 4th of July. They lean to the
opinion that it is advisable to support
Cleveland, while they are in sympathy
with Bayard. The alternates are Rich
mond Pearson. Charles NJ. Cook, Rufus T.
McAden, and Walter L. Steele.
The platform fayors the unconditional
and immediate repeal of the internal reve-
nue. system on the ground that it is an
intOlerable burden, standing menace to
the freedom of elections, and source of
great corruption, and calls for a reduc-
ton of taxes to avoid the surplus in the
Treasury. With respect to the tariff it
says:
"We reafirm the principles of the last
National Democratic plafOrm, leaving the
details of the method by which a cOnsti-
tutiOnal revenue tariff shall be gradually
reached to our Congressional representa-
tives, but duties should be levied for reve-
nue., and determinations should place the
highest rates on luXuries and the lowest
rates on necessaries."
John n. Staples and William X. Kitchen
were chosen Presidential electors.
