FORSYTH SHOULD HAVE A
CRIMINAL COURT.

Mecklenburg county has the
best roads and road system of
any county in North Carolina,
and this is made possible by an
efficient criminal court. Of this
court the Charlotte News says:
Investigation shows that the Neck
lenburg Criminal court instead of
being an expense to the county is a
source of profit. The treasurer of
Mecklenburg has paid out, on account
of the Criminal court, for the year
1890, $4,823. "a, and for the year
1891, IS, 155.46. a total for the two
years of $1o,97s.sO. AS an offset to
this is So, 1853 48, amount received by
fines, jury tax and convict labor for
1890, and $S,735.44, amount received
by fines, jury tax and convict labor
for 1891, a total for the two years of
$l3,9O3 90. This shows amount OF
profit to the county, after paying
court expenses, for 1890 and 1897,
1926 IL, or a profit of 81 ,462 56
for each year. The cost of working
the convicts is 335 cents per day.
The value of the convict labor to the
county is estimated at 41s cents per
day.
These figures are interesting.
The criminal court not only aids
in the strict enforcement of the
law and makes the speedy punish
ment of criminals possible, but
also facilitates civil justice in the
Superior court by relieving it OF
the criminal work.
1t is plain that Fursy tt. s court
facilities are severely taxed.
There is no reason for complaint
against our present courts es-
pecially when Judge Armfield is
here, but there are many advan-
tages to be derived from increase
in the means of justice by the
establishment of another court.
Mecklenburg, Buncombe and
New Hanover counties all testify
to the truth of this.
This is a matter worthy the
consideration of the bar associa.
ton.

THE STATE PRINTING.

THE SENTINEL is with the Dur
ham Globe on one proposition.
We fail to see the business sense
in giving man $4,000 a year
to draw his salary as State
printer.
The State printing should be
let to contract to the lowest bid
der provic ed that the bidder be
a responsible printer with the
facilities for doing the work, and
able to furnish bond for the faith
full performance of his con tract.
A Raleigh newspaper is no
more entitled to a $4,000 sub
sidy from the State than any
other paper. When Raleigh pa
pers, regardless of their politics
reach the state that makes sub
sidy from the Legislature a ne
cessity to their existence they
should die.
THE SENTINEL has no feeling of
prejudice or malice toward the
Raleigh papers, or any other pa
pers as for that, but otherpapers
serve the Democratic party and
the State.
Economy is one OF the funda-
mental principles of Democracy
and there is no economy in pay
ing a middle man "a, 900 a year
bonus for the State printing.

THE RESULT.

1.-THE men who met in the Opera
House Saturday had fully calcu-
lated the result of their action
they would have hesitated.
Since the formal organization
of the Peoples party at Raleigh
The SENTINEL has not doubted
Folks purpose to put out aState
ticket in North Carolina. That
this viii be done is now practi-
cally certain. The county con
ventions to be held throughout
the State next Saturday will
doubtless follow the example of
Forsyth in calling for conven-
ton to nominate State ticket.
With a Peoples party ticket
and a Republican ticket in the
field in opposition to that nomi-
mated in Raleigh May Is, the
State will be IN great danger OF
falling into the hands from which
twas rescued in 1876.
There is talk of a fusion of the
Peoples party and the Prohibi-
tionists, but this is not probable,
for astute leaders should be able
to see that this would weaken
both. There is abundant surface
indications of a fusion of the Re
publican and Peoples parties, on
the State ticket, and this would
bode no good for North Caro-
lima.
The presence OF SO many Re
publicans in Saturdays conven-
ton leaves but little doubt as to
the complexion OF the ticket that
will be put outin Forsythcounty.
To sum it up briefly, the con-
vention of last Saturday started
d movement that, unless crushed
out OF existence, VIII sooner or
later result In the greatest dis
aster that has befallen North
Carolina since the days Of recon-
struction.

WHO IS HEP

At the hour of sending THE
SENTINEL to press, the Repubh-
can convention at Minneapolis
had not made a nomination.
1t is as certain as any thing in
the future can he that Blaine Or
Harrison will be the nominee
with the chances in favor of the
former.
It is probable that these will
be the only names placed before
the convention, as Alger is for
Blaine. The contest is too sharp
for vote wasting on the first bal
lot, and this would indicate a
nomination on the first.
If Alger goes before theconven-
ton with sufficient strength to
prevent nomination on the first
ballot it is possible for Harri-
sons forces tonominate him, but
not probable as Alger is known
to be more friendly to Blaine. La
this event Allison is the man upon
whom they are more likely to
concentrate. This would make
the nomination Of Alger impos-
sible, and insure the success of
Blaine by combination with
the Alger forces.
The President will get his full
strength on the first ballot, and
ifnot nominated then, there is no
chance for him. 1.-The should car
~ out his expressed intention TO
withdraw after the first ballot
there seems no possible way to
defeat Blaine.
Assuming that Blaine is the
nominee Democrats should be
happy. The circumstances ofhis
nomination make him weak in
two pivotal States, New York
and Indiana. In the former there
has always been a strong infiu-
ence against Blaine in the ranks
of his own party. The fact that
the worst element of the party,
that dominated by Tom Platt, is
for him now, does not add to his
strength, with more respectable
element led by Chauncy Depew
against him. His defeating Har-
rison will make Indiana Republi
cans sore, and no enthusiasm
may be expected in that State.
Grover can lick him again.
Assuming that Harrison is
nominated, it will not take the
Democrats who soon meet at
Chicago long to find man to
take his political scalp. He is
perhaps the weakest man that
could be put out by his party,
and Blaine is second in this re-
spect.
Assuming that a dark horse
gets the prize, Alger, Cullom or
Mckinley for instance-the Re
publicans havea fghtingcha

THE REPUBLICANS in the Peo-
pies party are there to toll
Democrats from the fold of
safety. l. there is a Republican
and not a fusion ticket they will
be found in their old places, and

Peoples party phantom will be
left with the bag to holi.

has not yet arrived when-law
and order can be trampled on in
North Carolina with impunity.
If Polk is one of the promoters,
as is more than probable, he is
nothing short of a conspirator
and he should receive a felon's
portion.
Polk is after the presidency but
he will peep through prison bars
before he looks out of a White
House window.

AN ABsUBD QUESTION.

z.
party held in this city Saturday
was characterized by apparent
earnestness and THE SENTINEL
regrets to see so many good men
deluded by Polk and his cohor is.
Mr.. Ketner in the course. OF his
remarks asked if any one could
name anything that either old
party had done for the benefit of
the people of North Carolina, re-
fering more especially tn the far
mers.
Has it come to this that white
men, nurtured in the cradle of
Democracy, who have enjoyed
the benefits of a good State gov
eminent economically admins
tered, who have seen North Car
DINA weak and bleeding under
the heel of the Republican party
and negro rule, who have seen
the Democracy fighting with all
it's might, every encroachment
on the rights and interests of the
people made by the Republicans
during the last thirty years, who
saw Democracy present a solid
front to the enemy and with al
most superhuman determination
contest every inch of ground and
finally win the victory, when the
liberties of the South We're threat
ened with the force bill-can
Southern white men of ordinary
intelligence, who have seen all
things, be SO brazen faced-so re-
gardless of facts as to stand up
before their fellow country men
and say that the Democratic
party has never benefited them?
Surely these are strange times.
Mr.. Ketner has forgotten that
a Democratic Legislature passed
the landlord and tenant act for
benefit Of nobody but the farmer,
and that at the request of the
farmers of the State established
the railroad commission. If the
power of the Democratic party
in North Carolina has been usei
for discrimit. ton in favor of any
class, the farmers of The State
compose that class.
The farmers in common with
all other people are the victims
of Republican taxation and ex-
travagance. Their interests are
the interests of the masses of PEG
pie of other occupations. But
Polk and other Peoples party
leaders, through the medium of a
secret organization, have taught
them to distrust ali others and
regard them as enemies.
Many of them have been led too
far into the wilderness of politii-
cal darkness to be brought back
anti actual occurrences bring
them to a realization of the fact
that they are working OUT the
destruction Of their own liberty.

THE PROGRESSIVE Farmer stat
ing it's position politically says:
"Of late we have given every body
hearing. Democrats, Republicans,
Prohibitionists, Peoples party men,
all have had the use of our columns
to give vent to their feelings. After
this issue no partisan matter will APP
pear in our columns. So cur friends
will please save time and trouble by
not writing such matter"
All of which means that ifs

ly after the adjournment of the con-
vention Yesterday afternoon, the
respective committees met and pro-
ceeded with their work.
The committee on platform was
organized by the selection of ex Gov
ernor Foraker, OF Ohio, as chairman.
The committee on rules met and
elected Gen. III. Fl. Bingham, OF
Pennsylvania, as chairman, and
Judge s. F. Stahl, of Arkansas, sec
Rotary. 1t was decided to recon-
mend to the convention, the adopt
ion of the rules of che convention of
1883 with few unimportant changes,
made necessary by the admission of
new States since then.
The committee on permanent or
ganizati IN organized by the selection
OF Lockwood, of Idaho, as chairman,
and King of New Hampshire, as Sec
rotary. A sub committee consisting
of Thomas, of New York; T. Madison
Vance, of Louisiana, and Depew, of
Indiana, was appointed with instrnc-
tions to report permanent officers at
T:3O last evening.
The event of last night was the
meeting of the New York delegates.
Twenty nine delegates were present,
Jol< }bo,, -
vote for President Harrison's re-
nomination against all candidates.
1t was stated last night that John
e. Laur, delegate from Pennsylva-
MIA went to Senator Quay, and told
him to change his (Laur's) vote from
Blaine to Harrison, making thirteen
votes in the deleg alton for the Pres
ident. The midnight edition o. the
Minneapolis Journal says: 1.-Two
delegates from the second Missouri
district who came instructed for
Harrison last night received te1e-
graphic advices that the result of
the primaries was that 90 per cent
of the votes went to Blaine and only
8 per cent to Harrison. That set
tied it. They will vote for Blaine.
At 1890 a. m, Gov. Mckinley was
chosen by the committee for perma-
nent chairman. 1t was decided to
re-elect the active secretaries and
reading clerks chosen by the tempo
rary organization on recommends
tons of the national com mittee.

MINNEAPOLIS, June 8.-The battle
here still RACES and there is no pros
pect now of decisive result before
Friday or Saturday.
There is an immense amount of
work to be done by the committees
before permanent organization can
be effected.
The Harrison people have not lost
any ground in the last two days and
are in better spirits today.
Alger, who it was thought, was
out of the race, is now in the hands of
his friends. In the event of a dead
lock Mckinley, of Ohio, is being dis
cussed as an available man.
Payne, of Wisconsin, a Blaine
leader, claims to have polled the con
vention, and says that Harrison has
43S, and Blaine 42O votes that are
certain. Alger is credited with AZ
votes, giving him a balance ofpower
The committee on credentials met
this morning and simply prepared a
list of the uncontested delegates and
then adjourned There are scores of
contests and these have not yet been
touched.
The committe on Platform will not
be ready to report till tomorrow.
There is now no prospect of taking
the first ballot before Friday or Sat-
urday. Garrison says a vote on Pres
ideEtial candidates cannot lie reached
till Saturday.
At 1870 the delegates began slowly
to assemble in the great hall, and
hardly half of them We're inside the
building at eleven.
At 11:2o they began to crowd in
rapidly.
For few minutes State delega
tons in every part of the hall were
holding caucuses but the crowd soon
grew impatient.
Temporary Chairman Fassett
raped for order at 11:45. and it was
several minutes before quiet was re
stored. Bishop Whipple, of Maine,
offered prayer.
When the reports of committees
were called for, only the committee
on permanent organization was
ready to report.
Governor Mckinley, of Ohio, was
announced as permanent chairman
and his name was received with great
enthusiasm. He was escorted to the
platform amid the widest cheering,
and the Harrison delegates were
more enthusiastic, for the election oil
Mckinley, an avowed Harrison man
is distinct victory for their candi
date.
He was escorted to the chair by
Fessender, Foraker and Malone and
made speech of half an hour-al
