Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1892-09-08

fSuIS M. u. nurcn FflQay morning
at 10 o'clock, of which she had been
a consistent and worthy member for
the past thirty years.
The letter of acceptance of Presi-
dent Harrison, which appears in an
other column, is quite a plausible
presentation of all the most popular
features of the bad principles of his
party. 1t is partisan to an unusual
extent, and breathes not one senti-
ment in harmony with abroad and
enlightened patriotism. 1t suggests
fippancy,is boastful and egotistic. It
begins ard ends with a cold SILVER
at the liar suggestion of re-establish-
ing State Banks of issue. IF the
letter of acceptance of Grover Cieve-
land is not a broader, an ADLER and
more patriotic discussion of great
public questions We will be sorely
disappointed.
"GUvNER" W. P. Exum had his
picture taken in this city Wednesday
and the negative" is now being
developed by the artist-so is the
negative vote of North Carolina be-
ing developed that is going to over
whelm him in November next. We
are unable to Say whether the "Gov."
responded graciously to the injunc-
ton cf the artist to clock
pleasant" if he did, his picture
will prove the most taking card in
the Third Party campaign, because
the "Guvner" is no: a bad looking
man by any means. But with his
record behind him and his canvass
before him DR.. Wyatt Patrick &C.,
has got a hard read to travel.
A GooDLY number of delegates
went up tc Raleigh Tuesday from
the various sections of the State to
attend the Republican convention,
which convenes there tomorrow,
Upon the action of this convention,
it would seem, to all human appear
ances, hangs the destiny Of the
State. If they do not nominate a
ticket, the fight will be between
the white people of the State, char
a~cterized, it may be, by that bitter
ness which always c~haracterizes
amily disputes. If they do nomi-
nate a ticket we venture the asser-
ton that the ticket will reap the ex-
perience of all persons who interfere
in a family dispute. The disputants
will unite and destroy it.
IT is with inexpressible regret that
we chronicle this morning the death
of Mr.. G. d. Seawell, son of DR.. v.
N. Seaweli, which occurred in this
city Thursday afternoon, of fever, in
the 21st year Of his age, after an ILL
ness Of three weeks. MI. Seawell
came to this city several months ago
to fill a position with Messrs. Biz
zell Bros. & Co., where he endeared
Himself alike to the firm and the
public by his quiet demeanor and al
ways courteous attentions. He had
won the hearts Of all who knew him
here and his untimely death is deep
ly deplored. He connected himself
with the Baptist Church here dur
ing the recent Fife meetings and
derived great joy and spiritual
strength from the services. Surely
is it well with him now. His re-
mains were taken to the old home
stead near Seven Springs for inter
ment, where his mother is sleeping.
His father was with him during his
last days here, and the sympathy of
our entire community goes out to
him in his sad bereavement.
The Republican party of this
county held their county convention
in this city Saturday, which resolved
itself into an advisory ~conclave
rather than 6. distinct party con-
vention. 1t was presided over
alternately by j. Frank Dob
son and a negro and by both
together, as they sat side by
side on the rostrum and con-
nodded, and worked the thing on
paper as it had been previously ar
ranged: the molly throng of "dele-
gates" just voting "aye' to every
thing. It was decided not to put a
county ticket in the field just get;
but a proposition to endorse the
Third party county ticket was re-
ceived with great disfavor and snow
ed under overwhelmingly. Four
delegates, two white and two col
ored, Messrs. j. F. Dobson, II. L.
Grant, w. S. Hogans and - Miller,
were elected to the Republican State
convention which conyenes in Ra-
leigh on Wednesday of this week,
with instructions to vote for a
straight-out Republican State ticket.
IF Goldsboro is alive to her best
Interests, and if she would be true
to her reputation for public spirit
and open hospitality she would need
to bestir herself for the Stevenson
Jubilee, which is now near at hand.
He visits Goldsboro on the 22d of
this month. He is to visit Charlotte
on the 18th and here is what the
Observer has to say about it
appropriations for the meeting here
on the 18th inst, at which Adlai E.
Stevenson is to speak, are now under
way, and it is well-there is no time
to be lost. There should be a great
barbecue here that day, aud all the
people of a dozen surrounding
counties should be invited. This
should be preceded by a horse
back procession, and marshals
