LATEST,
GOOD DEMOCRATIC WORK.
Daniel G. FowIc Nominated for
Governor.

At the hour we write this we
have only the general bulletin notice
that the protracted trial of strength
in the democratic convention has
resulted in the nomination of Danl
G. Fowle as the democratic candiA
date for Governor of North Carolina.
No doubt we shall be able to pre-
sent tull detaila in another part of
this issue.
A contest began on Wednesday,
as soon as possible after the conven-
ton had been organized, was con-
tinued with slight intermission to a
late hour of the night, and resumed
yesterday morning as soon as the
convention had reassemhled. It was
continued until about 2 p. N. when
a conclusion was reached.
1t was contest singularly pro-
tracted for North Carolina demo-
cratic convention. The three lead-
ing candidates, Fowle, Stedman and
Alexander, held their relatiYe posi-
tions with amazing uniformity. Up
to the last the was little sign that
the strength of either candidate
would be cast to the advantage of
either of the others. Once II votes
were cast for R. H. Battle, and at
another time 105 were cast for
Judge Gilmer.
These were evidently tentative;
the experiment was not repeated,
and the original names recalled their
first support, until the final ballot,
the particulars of which are not yet
known to Us.
Throughout this long struggle,
from all the information before US,
there was nothing but good feeling,
though there was abundance of
strong personal partisahship No
doubt when the end was reached
there was a general hand shaking
all around, and mutual admission
Of the fact that the party had done
its duty, and selected its proper
man. All three of the gentlemen
were singularly competent for the
positions to which they aspired.
The friends of each candidate ad-
mitted the merits of the other oppo
nents; and respecting them, all will
unite to make a warm campaign
and a rousing victory certairties.
We hail Governor Fowle in adj
vance. He will win his way to the
proud eminence before him with his
eloquence, his energy. his vast stock
of politica! information, with his
fame for craftsmanship, with his
personal influence; and he will
crown his work by an administration
illustrated by qualities ofstatesman-
ship and by devotion to the interests
of North Carolina in which he can
be surpassed by none.
Elsewhere we hope to tell the full
story of the convention.

The Hendersonville Times says {:
On Sunday afternoon Rev. J. E.

Mr.. D. L Johnson, of Mills River
was in town on Saturday. By refs
erence to our advertising columns it
will be seen he has attached the
property of the Boilston gold mines
in order to secure payment of the
amount due him for work on same.
We are informed that Mr.. Adam
Murdie, who left about four weeks
ago for the purpose of purchasing a
5o-sramp mill and the necessary
machinery for running the mine on
large and profitable scale, has
neither returned nor given his
friends an intimation of his present
postofEce address. This naturally
create some uneasiness out of which
grew Mr.. Johnson's attachment.
We hop, however, that Mr.. Murdie
may yet agreeably disappoint the
Boilston people, and return from
where he is with even more than
he promised in the way of material
for the development of this rich land
seemingly inexhaustible mine.

lacking in convenience, comfort and
speciousness, while the room used
as the city clerks Office and city
