THE NoMINATIoNs.

The Democratic Senatorial conven-
tion which met at Lexington last
Saturday performedIt It's work prompt
~ and well. 1t was harmonious and
enthusiastic. The attendance was
ten times that of the Third party
convention there the week before,
and everybody was pleased with the
nominations. Rowan county, which
will furnish the bulk of the majority
that will elect Messrs Jones and Owen,
generously conceded the nominations
to the other two counties. The
speeches of Messrs. Jones and Owen
showed them to be men of force and
fine speaking ability. They will en-
ter upon their canvass with an en-
thusiastic desire to help the Demo
cratic party to win a signal victory
this year in North Carolina. Such
men will dispel the illusions Of false
political doctrines, and will make
winning fight for the party of low
taxes and freedom. Both candidates
were raised upon the farm They
know what honest toll is. They have
force of character and we credit them
with honesty of purpose. The Dem
oerats ofthe twenty-sixth Senatorial
district may well congratulate them
selves upon the choice of their con-
yention.

His Arrival-The Sheriff of Henry
County, Va Comes After Grogan.
Special to The S-ntineI
WALNUT COVE, N. c., Aug. 20
James Grogan, the accused murderer
of Wesley James, was captured last
night near Pine Hall and was brough
here on the Norfolk & Western trail
Upon his arrival here the streets
were full Of men and there was a
good deal of excitement. and some
talk of lynching but everything is
quiet today.
He WAS locked up in the guard house
and this morning was carried to Dan
bury jail.
Grogan has been spending most of
his time since he left Walnut Cove in
the neighborhoOd of Stoneville and
the Virginia line. He was with a Mr..
Stanley who pretended to be his
friend. The latter notified an officer
that he and Grogan would be at Pine
Hall about dark last night, and that
if they were on hand there they could
make the arrest.
The officer was ready and the arrest
was made without any trouble. Gro
gan now says that his best friend
gave him away.
Three Grogans rest in our county
Jail implicated in the supposed MUIR
der of James.
The State Geologist, it is said, re-
fuses to make an analysis of the stom-
ach of James and has sent it back to
Walnut Cove, but some one else will
be gotten to analyZe it.
Sheriff i. f. Shultz and his deputy,
Mr. Ramey, of Henry county. Va, ar
rived here this afternoon. They have
several charges against Grogan, one
of which is for highway robbery.
They have been looking for him for
the past four years. Grogan's broth
er, John Franklin Grogan, was tried
in the courts of Henry last year and
sent to the >penitentiary for five years
for stealing wheat.
There is enough evidence against
the one just arrested to send him ~On
for ten years, not including the Yves
ley James affair.

THE NEW YORK COLORED VOTE.
Cleveland and Harrison will Divide
the Vote in November

New YORK, Aug. 3O.-There are, it
is claimed, about So, 600 celored voters
in this State. OF this number 5000
are in this city and 5000 in Brooklyn.
One of their leading men, T. McCants
Stewart, well-known lawyer and
member of the Brooklyn board of edu-
cation, gives this forecast of how the
colore6 vote will be cast f:
"The Afro-American voters of the
State of New York, thinking and act
ing along these lines, will divide at
the coming election and will cast a
handsome vote for Cleveland. In 1888
Harrison received from 60 to 20 per
cent. of the AfrO-American vote of
the State. About 10 per cent. of the
vote remained at home. Cleveland
got from 20 to % per cent. This year
they are in revolt in this State. The
result will be that fully 20 per cent. of
them will remain away from the polls
in November, and the rest will be
about equally divided between Cleve-
land and Harrison"

Special Correspondence o. The Sentinel
MANA, n. c., Aug. 31.-The revival
meeting closed here yesterday when
one of the largest crowds ever seen at
old Enon was present. Seven were
baptized and others made profession.
Rev. Messrs. McCoon and Davis as
sisted by Rev. Mr.. Crews conducted
the services. The preaching was of a
very high order all the week and it
was gratifying to see SO many out ev-
cry day and night. The church was
full at every meeting. Much good
has been done among the people.
The weather still continues dry.
We had a pretty good rain the 22nd,
but not enough to put the ground in
blowing order. Quite number of
barns of tobacco will be cut this
week owing to the confined dry
weather.
Our young friends, Newton and
Henry Fletcher, spent the Sabbath
with their parents here. We were
glad to see them looking SO well.
Mr.. D. L. Shore will turn the wa
ter on his big mill wheel this week.

WHITELAW REID.

If there is one name that's revered
above all others by the colored peo-
pie, it is that of Abraham Lin
coin. In the dark hours OF history
he bore Il terrible responsibility. He
and his associates practically made
the Republican party. But what OF
Jacob Whitelaw Reid? On the first
day of January, 1868, the freedom OF
all slaves IN the rebellious States was
proclaimed by Abraham Lincoln.
A year and a half later White
law Reid was opposing the re-nom-
ination of Lincoln. What do the
colored people think of this? Do
they still hold as dear and precious
the memory of Abraham Lincoln,
their emancipation? There is little
wonder that there is already among
colored Republicans the spirit of re-
volt against the managers of a par
ty which is now the party of oppres-
sion and which is doing nothing to
effect the emancipation of the
farmer and the laborer from the pro-
tected mOnOpOlists.

PASSENGERS RIGHTS.

Some evenings ago a man boarded
a street-car in Winston and asked to
be let out at the Salem postoffice.
The conductor permitted the passen-
ger t., ride beyond his destination
nearly half mile The passenger
kept his seat and when the car start
ed back again the conductor called
upon him for his fare. The passen-
ger replied that he had paid his fare
to the Salem postoffice and refused
to pay another fare The conductor
said this was another trip and an
other fare was collectibIe, and he pro-
posed to stop the ear and put the
passenger ont. The passenger said
that he could only be removed 10y
force and if he were elected he would
sue the street railroad company for
damages. The quarrel terminated
in favor of the passenger and the
railroad company was saved Il law
suit. 1t is hardly to be expected that
a street car company can employ
lawyers to collect fare, etc, but con-
ductors ought at least know that Il
passenger has a right to be carried
to and let off at his destinations; also
that if passenger is carried past
his destination he has right to be
carried back without further pay
ment of fare.
