Notes of the Convention.

From the NeoOs Observer of the
31st we clip the following notes OF
the glorious convention:
Every single county is directly
rept esented in the cUnveation-a
thing that probably never occurre
before. It means that the democ-
racy is thoroughly in earnest and
that it is going to win.
The convention was ne plus ultra
the most tremendous thing ever
seen in Raleigh. Last night about
10 o'clock it was estimated that
there were between $500 and 5000
people in the hall. The place was
crowded to its utmost capacity and
many spectators were perched upon
the raiters and various other ele-
vated points in the hall.
As the flaming electric lights shot
acres the sea of upturned faces, a
gentleman who surveyed the scene
from the rostrum said it was one of
the grandest sights he ever wits
messed.
Several ladies were at the door of
the hall last night observing the
deliberations of the convention.
The ladies were not afraid of that
crowd. There were no dusky coun-
tenances to he seen in it.
Chairman Battle alluded to the
administration of Grover Cleveland,
at the mention OF whose name the
convention broke into furious ap-
rlause.
W. A. Branch, Esq, of Beaufort,
was first recognized, and in a brief,
pointed and handsome speech NOM
mated Hon. Daniel G Fowle, of
Wake.
H. A. Gudger, ESQ, of Buncombe,
nominated Lt.-Gov. Chas. M. Sted-
man, of New Hanover, in q strong,
compact, logical speech of fifteen
minutes.
Hon. w. L. Steele, of Rocking
ham, nominated Hon. S. B. Alex
ander, of Mecklenburg. Col. Steele
said that with Alexander at its head
the Democratic party would be VIC
torious, but it would also be VIC
torious with any of the other gallant
leaders who had been proposed for
its leadership.
The 9th district was honored i'll
convention as follows: R. M. Fur
man secretary, A. T. Davidson vice.
president, Geo. A. Shuford commits
tee on Platform and Resolutions, M.
c. Justice committee on Credentials,
r. d. Gilmer committee on Perma-
nent Organization.

This seemed 10 enrage number of his
comrades, and they forthwith left the bar

way they tell IN with a squad of white
troopers and proceeded to take vengeance.
Inc wnlte soldiers made their escape

is true that the house has been swept away

all we're carried across a gulch. Most of
them were able to get out from the snow
without help, and they hurried to the aid
of 1he others. All were finally got out, the

Hoosier Congressman Solves the Great
Railroad Problem.

ICoPyigf, 1855, GyGie California fssociafez Irsss1
WASHINGTON, January 4th.-Representa-
tive Holman, speaking of the report of the
Pacific Railroad Commissioners, said ::
The question is not so much what the
Commissioners say about the matter. This
might be well enough, if it were not for
the fact that the general public know and
the members of the House know, beyond a
question, that the assets of the railroads
greatly exceed their liabilities, and they are
amply able to discharge their Indebtedness
to the Government. They could paw off
the entire debt Of $4,000 900 they owe to
the Government and could pay up their
stock-which amounts to about $64 600 600
without the least injury to their corpora
tions, now that they are consolidated into
four.
The whole region of the country is de-
pendent upon these main trunk lines. The
system is an immense affair. They will
never let go of it to the Government They
can issue new bonds for the payment of
their $50, 100000 Indebtedness as easily as
the Baltimore and Ohio here could issue
S2o, 100000. Their bonds would go right
up to par. They are able to pay the Gov
ernment, and as a mere business PROPOSE
ton they are bound to do so.''
