Chatham'S Nominees.

Especial Cor. SrATT CHRONICLE.
PIrTsBoRo, N. c., Aug. 15.-The Dem
ocratic Comfy Convention was held here
yesterday. 1t was called to order by Mr..
7. b. Womack, chairman of the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee. Mr. }. A.
Aston was made chairman. and }. J. Jen-
kins and DR.. ?. r. Hatch secretaries.
For long time Chatham has continued
the two-thirds rule, and it has not worked
well. 1t was abolished this year by a vote
of "A to "a. This is good.
The following ticket was nominated
For the House, S. d. Wilson, of New
Hope, and J. NJ. Edwards, of the Gulf !;
for Sheriff, :. W. Brewer; for Register, L..
r. Exline for Coroner, ". 5. Petty; for
Surveyor, r. B. Clegg.
All Democrats in the county were made
delegates to the Senatorial Convention,
which meets at Henly, September 18th.
Alamance is this year entitled to the Sen
atOr.
State Treasurer Balm was present, and
spoke words of wisdom. Speeches were
also made by A. H. Merritt, IL. a. London,
T. b. Womack, j. G. Rencher and G. X.
Scott.
The ticket is good one all around, and
gives great satisfaction. The nominees
for the House are among Chatham's best
and most substantial farmers, and they
will poll so large vote as to astonish the
people.

The Democrats telegraphed for Mr.. G. B.
Aycock, Democratic elector, to come down
and meet Dockery. Mr.. Aycock came in
obedience to the summons. The Radicals
refused any fair division of time, making
this proposition: That DeveTeauX speak
one hour, then Mr.. Aycock to speak an
hour, and then for Doohery, Robinson,
I.ockey, and other Radicals 10 follow ad

division of time, saying that he would not
go five steps to reply to Devereaux.
The Radicals proceeded to speak until
three of them Grated, when the Democrats
rung the Court House bell and the white
men filed in and Mr. Aycock spoke. Not
a white man left Burgaw until Mr.. Ay-
cock finished although it was quite late in

SMIrHFIELD, y. G.. Aug. II, 'SS.-There
was probably the largest crowd of Demo

that has ever before attended a County
Convention. Every Democrat had been
made a delegate and they came from all
parts of the country. The Court House
could not begin to accommodate them and
the Convention was held in the grove.
1t was called to order by Mr.. f. ". Pou,
Chairman of the County Executive Com
mittee, and Mr. Nathan w. Smith was
made Chairman. The nomination Of the
following excellent ticket is the result of
the deliberations of the Convention: For
the Senate, Jas. II. Pou; for the House,
Josephus J. Johnson and b. \. Wellons
for Sheriff, }. T. Ellington; for Register of
Deeds, J. ID. Morgan; Tor Treasurer, L. }.
Holt; for Coroner. Il. Il. Hood; for Sur
veyor, I. r. Fulghum.
Mr.. Pea did bot desire denomination
to the Senate but as he is the Strongest
man i'll the county the people said they
must have him aud he accepted. Messrs.
johnson and Wellons are level headed
successful, intelligent farmers and will
make worthy and faithful representatives.

COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM.

The CHRONICLE has profound esteem
for Dr.. Abernethy. He has devoted his
entire life to the service of others, and has
given an education to more boyS than any
other educator in the State. Many young
men owe their position in life to his gen
eroSlty. Because of his usefulness we re
gretted to see him, ''in the lengthening
shadows of the evening" of his life, follow
ing after strange gods. We rejoice to pub
lish his card IN another column announc-
ing his Withdrawal from the Third Party
and declining to be its candidate for Su
perintendent of Public Instruction. Read
it. In a private note to the editor he says:

ton Mr.. W. P. Shaw was nominated by
acclamatlOn. On the first ballot for the
second Senator the vote stood: Abbott
SO I'll; Cowell 80 lila Abbott's nomi-
nation WAS then made unanimous. These
are excellent nominations. Mr.. Shaw was
a melnoer of the last Senate an intelli-
gent, honorable, high-toned legislator, a
WORTHY representative of the good people
of th' first district We understand that
Mr.. Abbott is an especially strong man
and available candidate. The CHRONICLE
relOlcas in the nomination Of such men for
the Senate
1t is reported in the Mangum neigh
borhood, Richmond county-Dockery'
home, that while ia New York recently
Dockery received sixty thousand dollars
to carry on his campaign and the promise
OF another hundred thousand more if he
carries the State This is doubtless an en-
aggeration, but there is no doubt but the
money to carry on the campaign has been
furnished by somebody, for it is well
known here that Dockery had no money
probably not enough to pay his way to
Raleigh. The question is, " here did the
money come from? That it has been fur
nished by the North there can be no doubt
This being the case we cannot see how any
selfreSpectlng white man can 90 to the
polls and vote for this apostle OF social
equality especially after it is shown beyond
question that he has been aided, financial
ly, in his crusade against white supremacy
in North Carolina by the money of the
Sou h -haters of the North Wadesboro
Messenger and Intelligencer.
The Democrats of Johnston county
were wise in nominating Jas. Ii. Pou, Esq,
for the Senate. Mr.. Pou came to the
House in 1885 a very young man and rep
resented his people SO faithfully that he
was sent to the Senate of 1887 where he
was the youngest member of the body.
Though the youngest he ranked among
the WiSest, safest, and most discreet mem
bers of that honorable body. He had
none OF the giddiness of youth. but all of
the conservatism and wisdom of a veteran
legislator. He was solicitous chiefly to
represent his people and to legslate for
their interests. Ii must be gratifying to
him that his career has met with such
signal endorsement at the hands of his
party. 1t is an endorsement of which any
man might well be proud. The good peo-
pie OF Johnston are slow to give their con
| idence, but when they find a servant
faithful they are ready to show their ap-
preciation Mr.. Pou was nominated in
the Convention by Mr. J. J. loung Presi-
dent of the Farmers Alliance, and nOmi-
mated Oh the first ballot by a vote of more
than two to one. Mr.. Pou said that he
did not desire nomination and his re-
nomination under these circumstances is
peculiarly high honor. Knowing Mr..
Pou's popularity, the CHRONICLE predicts
his election by 200 majority.
