ELIAS CARR NOMINATED.
THE CHOICE OF NORTH CAROLIEA'S DIM
0CRACY.
THIRD PARTY NOT IN 1T.
HEALLIANcE is WHIPPED OUT IN THE
GREATEST CONVENTION EVER
kN0WN--THE PLATFORM
AND DELEGATION.

Democratic State convention is con-
cerned, it was absolutely whipped
out to-day. This was shown all the
way through, in the conference Of
the Alliance so far as any effect
upon the Democratic convention Is
concerned, save to solidify and deep
en- its Democracy. Polk and Butler,
the Alliance leaders, did not know
the temper of Democrats. but the y
know it now.
The Alliance conference met again
this morning, bat did nothing save
that majority of it's members agreed
to vote tor @. w. Sanderlin for Gov
ernor. Soue Democratic members
seeded from it, and its attempt to
force all Aliancemen in the conven.
ton to leave was a complete failure.
Neither Polk nor Butler went near
the Democratic Convention. The
latter was, as predicted, the greatest
ever known in North Carolina. The
best men Of the party were here, de-
termined and angry with the Third
party. The latter will certainly put
national ticket in the State, and
may put State ticket also.
From the time when State Chair
man Smith called it to order until
the last, there were calls for unity
and harmony, and there was not a
harsh word spoken.
Ex-Governor Jarvis, the perma-
nent president, made stirring appeal
for unity. His illusions to Cleve-
land was greeted by applause, lasting
a minute. There was some applause
at mention Of Hill.
Jarvis attacked the tariff wit h
whitening earnestness. He called on
| Alliancemen, Third party men ard
St. Louis platform men to lay aside
their coats and join In the fight
against the Republican party, the
hearsls to ave the State from
the party which ruined it in 1868.
As he closed there was tremendous
applause and cheering.
The platform was adopted before
nominations were made, 1t is the
one of 1890 with three planks from
the Ocala platform. Free coinage
abolition Of the tariff, abolition OF
national banks, increase of currency
by issuing legal tender lno1es in lieu
Of national bank notes, taxation. of
increase and repeal of internal reve-
nue. system are the chief planks.
One Alliance delegate SAID this
WAS satisfactory. 1t was adapted by
reclamation. There were five en-.
didates for Governor: 7. NJ Holt,
! G. W. Sanderlip. Julien S. Carr, Elias
Carr and S. B. Alexander. Holt led
on ballot after ballot. with Sanderin
