THEY'LL BUCK.
Third GubernatOrial Ticket Now Ex.
tremely Probably.

MEMPHIS, June 8.-The third party
wing OF the alliance was in session in
the suburbs otMemphis yesterday, and
it is given out authoritatively that a
third party will be formed throughout
the State, meetings having been called
to take action simultaneously in every
county, following the initiative taken
by the Upton county alliance on Sat-
urday.
The leaders of the movement aver
that third party candidate will be
nominated for governor in the event
of Buchanan not being nominated by
the democratic convention. As Buch-
anan is believed by many to be already
virtually defeated, third party candi-
date may be counted one as a certain.
ty. What stand the third party will
take on national issues is not known

HARRISON'S OPINION.
He Expects to be NOmlnated..Is Sure
That Blaine Cannot BE.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Secretary
Elkins, who is one of Mr.. Harrison's
chief lieutenants, before going to New
York, told the Nashville Banner cor
respondent that the President held
this view of the situation: He thought
that he would be nominated, but he
was confident that Mr.. Blaine could
not possible be, and at the same time
the President conceded frankly that
there was fair chance of the nominee
being dark horse.
Today the Administration people
are more confident than they have
been at any time. Whether this is
the result of private information from
Minneapolis or whether it comes from
general look at the situation is not
generally known. At any rate they
are very clipper.
Senator Chandler has seen more OF
Mr. Blaine than any man in Washing
ton since the great resignation came.
He is doing all he can for the ex.sec-
retary. He said right after the resig-
nation that the nominee would be
Blaine without a doubt. Today he
said, "Things are much worse. 1t may
be Harrison, it may be Blaine or it
may be some one else-the Lord only
knows.

When Ignorance is Bliss.

Tuesday afternoon gentleman liv-
ing on Watauga Avenue borrowed a
wrench iiom Mr.. Evans, superintend-
ant OF the Watauga Water Co, to
open fire plug near his house.
Yesterday morning while he was
coming to town returning the wrench
he thought he would try his hand on
plug that happened to be on his
route. He opened it and watched the
water flow for a few minutes and
tried to stopIt but, much to his sur
prise, it wouldn't close-for him.
He finally gave it up and hurried
to Mr.. Evans and meekly told what
he had done and asked that man be
sent out at once to right the wrong
and that he be forgiven for meddling

1'RUSLOW- W-AUSTIN.
A Quiet Marriage Yesterday on Ivy
Street.

At two o'clock yesterday afternoon
few relatives and intimate friends
gathered at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. G. Austin, on Ivy street, to
witness the marriage OF Mr.. w. A.
Truslow to Miss Maud Austin. The
ceremony was performed in very
impressive manner by Rev. K. G. At
kins. The bride was neatly attired
in gray cloth travelling costume and
the groom wore the conventional
black. After the ceremony and the
usual congratulations the couple took
the 2:39 train for Beaufort. N. G.
Among those present at the marriage
were Mr.. and Mrs. w, L. Taylor,
Misses Retta Howell and Lila Taylor
Messrs. R. S. Bolton, Foy Dulaney and
Carl Truslow.
THE COMET joins many friends in
wishing them long and happy life.

Merited Success.

We are always glad to note advance
ment in any OF our mercantile estab-
lishmepts, and for that reason feel it
a pleasant duty to speak of the fash
ion bazaar OF Mrs. J.H. Brunner. She
has been in business here about two
years and has built up large trade by
giving value received and treating all
customers alike. She selects her
goods very carefully and purchases all
latest novelties, and uses extraordina-
ry good taste in trimming hats. All
the work turned our by her has a
"chic" appearance and gives universal
satisfaction. This season she has pur-
chased an unusally large line of goods
including some rare novelties, and il
will certinly be to the interest OF the
women to visit her store on Mair
street before giving orders for Sum
m er head-wear.

The REPUBLICAN MILL
Grinds Slowly, but the Fine
Italian Hand
Of Blaine Takes the Toll from Each
Gritt

MINNEAPoLIs, June S.-The first day
OF the Republican National Conven-
ton ends with the Republican nomi'
nation still a hidden secret to be dis
closed only when the decisive ballot
reveals the unfathomable intention OF
the scores of unpledged and uncom-
mitted delegates.
1t is thoroughly realized by the
friends of both chef candidates to-
night that the result OF the convention
is to depend upon those uncommitted,
vascillating delegates who are pledged
to neither candidate and who are
claimed for both. What these unCer-
tain delegatee will do in the end no
power on earth can predict, and that
the nomination depends upon their
action tends to make this one OF the
most aggravating presidential contests
that the Republican party has ever
known.
The day closed without any percept-
ible significant advantage ior either
side. The Blaine talent organized
the convention by the election of Fas-
set, of New York, as temporary chair
man, but as Fasset's selection was not
contested by the Harrison element
and as his election was unanimous
the victory was won by default, and nc
Que can say what would have been
the result had the Harrison managers
decided to force test OF strength by
presenting an opposition candidate
for the emporary chairmanship.
No occasion occurred during the
brief session today to call out any de-
cided manifestations from the dele
gates ofthe convention. The name O
Blaine was loudly cAeered, of course
and so indeed were the.names of ReeC
and Ingalls,. neither of whom are even
suggested as possible candidates for th'
Presidential honor, AS matter o
fact, the ovation which greeted Thorn
as B. Reed was even more enthusiast,
and more prolonged than that inspir
ed by the name of Blaine, but thel
the ex-Speaker was present and visi
BILE. The Harrison men had no op
portunity to call out one Of those en-
thusiastic tcenes which weigh ST
heavily and are considered so poten
in national conventions because tn
name of their candidate was mention
but once, and tn vt ii lie by an oppo
nent OF Harrison, Nho passed from tn
name of Harrison to Blaine SO quickl
that the friends OF the President ha,
no opportunity for any manifestati o
of their devotion.
