in this State. The Commercial says of its
probable influence upon the Chicago conven-
ton: '.It will force them to put popular In
diana man on the ticket, which would proba-
bly, insure that State to the Republicans. |"
We believe this will be the effect, and when
the vote of Indiana is wanted the Chicago
convention will know what man can most
likely give it to the Republican party.

THE Democratic convention of North Caro-
lima adopted platform containing the follow
ing:
Resolved, that to meet an existing evil we
will accept for educational purposes from the
federal government our pro rata share of the
surplus in the treasury, provided that it
be distributed through State agents, and the
bill for the distribution be free from objec-
tionable features"
There is fine old flavor Of Bourbon De-
mocracy abouttha The condescension with
which they graciously consent to waive their
objections to accepting their pro rata share of
the surplus is only equaled by the GOODNESS of
the condition that it shall be distributed
through State agents. The proviso that the
bill for the distribution must "be free from
Objectionable features" evidently means that
the colored people must not have an equal
share of the benefits The white Democrats
of North Carolina who cannot read or write
don't want social equality thrust on them.
