ton was asked to go forward aud make speech
which he did. But three candidates for supreme
judge were presented-F. NJ. Reynolds of Min
eral James Brown Of Preston and Judge Hagan
OF MonOngalla. The result of the first ballot
showed Mr.. Reynolds decidedly the strongest
man, and the second resulted in the withdrawal
of the other two and the nomination of Reynolds
by reclamation.
NORTH CAROLINA DEMOcRArs

yesterday nominated judicial ticket and adj
lourned Chief Justice Merriman and Justice
Clark were nominated by reclamation and the
nine superior court judges were unanimously
Endorsed for reelection. Senator Vance was
cordially recommended to the legislature for
reelection to the United States Senate The

NoNIsATIoSs FOR coSGREss
The democratic convention OF the ninth Ala
baIna congressional district renominared Gen.
". II. Forney at Gadsden yesterday without
opposition. There was an effort made to get
out another candidate. but it failed and the
opposition went to pieces before the conven-
ton met. Gen. Forney was first elected to the
Forty-fourth Congress, and this is his ninth
term.
Charles A. Boatner was renominated by the
democrats Of the fifth district of Louisiana.
Jerry simpson was nominated by the demo-
Gratis OF the seventh district OF Kansas
II. q. Ewart was renominated by the repub-
hcans OF the ninth district of North Carolina
The democratic congressional convention of
the seventh Iowa district held at Des Moines
yesterday, nominated james b. Weaver for
Congress. An effort was made to get the con-
vention to indorse J. ii. Barnett, the Union
Labor nominee, but the democrats did not take
kindly to the proposition, and Weaver nomina-
ton was easily made. Gen. Weaver is pic
turesque figure in Iowa politics. He
has been nve times candidate for
Congress i'll the sixth district, was elected
three times, and in 1880 was the green
back candidate for President. His home is at
Bloomfield, III the sixth district, but he is in
terested III the publication of a union labor pa
per IN Des MONIES and spends most of his time
there. 1t Is quite probable that Senator Bar
nett will get out OF the field, leaving the race
To Gen. Weaver and Capt. Hull his republican
opponent. The district is Overwhelmingly re-
publican, but Weaver has a habit of making his
campaigns interesting whether he expects to
Win or not.
