Members OF the State Commit Desert Hill
for Cleveland,

A"cAAocAs "a sho Othte SOmfnltte0 desert BILL

The state democratic committee met at
Raleigh, N. c., yesterday. When the COM
mittee met on March 2 large majority were
for Hill for President. This was all changed
yesterday. Nearly every member WIS for
Cleveland. and they said tho delegates from
the state will be for him.
The republican state convention meets at
Raleigh next Thursday. No nominations will

Ever since the democratic state convention
was fixed for May Is the alliance people have
declared that they intend to go into the prima-
RES and capture the convention, nominate the
ticket for state Offices and adop. the st. Louis
PLATFORM. to be presented to the national demo-
cratic convention. and If not adopted by that
convention the delegates will be Instructe to
attend and take part i'll the Omaha convention.
In order TO prevent this the chairman Of the
democratic state committee has written a let
ter saying that every man who takes part In
the primaries must pledge himself to support
the democratic principles. The meeting yes
terday OF the committee for the purpose Of
considering the letter of the chairman and to
discuss the postpOnement of the state conven-
ton until August for the nomination of gov

Recent Elections I'm Michigan.

1t is said by the Detroit Tribune (republican)
that republican mayors were chosen in upward
of thirty FIVE Michigan municipalities at Mon
days election, against twenty-three or more
cities or incorporated villages in which demo-
cratic mayors were chosen. The former in
cluded all the cities in the state having a popu-
lation In excess of 5000 with six exceptions,
one Of which Detroit) now has a republican
mayor. 1t was in the smaller places mainly
that democratic mayors were chosen.
The significance OF this fact. says the Tribune,
Is that the larger cities were democratic strong
holds. which have been captured this year BY
the republicans. In eleven or more Of the most
important cities Of the state, democratic mayors
win be succeeded this year by republicans and
In the majority Of these cases the entire mu-
nicipal administration will likewise pass into
republican hands.

AfOuneats Heard in Favor Of Net Opening
TIE Worlds Fair On SUNDAY.
TIE House eommittss on the worlds Colum-

Of this city. but formerly . resident
Of New York, suggsstsd 70 The

preparation shall bs paid until the worlds fair
corporation shall stipulats that the exposition
shall not b opened TO the public on Sundays.
given day Of rest This privilege they could
not have II the fair was kept open.
Rev. A. W. Pitxer Of Washington city said
the opening Of the fair on Sunday meant on
that day the thousands of employees, officials
and others connected with its, management
would have TO be in their places and perform
ing their duties, which would be q dissertation
Of the day.
Rev. T. A. Ternley, secretary Of the Philadel.
phis Sabbath Association, thought the matter
before the committee was much greater ques-
ton than the tariff, as it was not so much for
the protection Of American products as for the
protection Of American institutions, and con-
tended that in the interests Of morality and
economy the doors should be closed.

day closing on the ground Of morality and
benefit of the workingmen, a. did Rev. N L.
upham Of Philadelphia.
Col. Elliot F. Shepard Of New York city read
to the committee brief which he had pre-
pared and occasionally commented on some Of
its passages. The Christian sentiment Of the
country, he said, desired to have introduced
into the bill proviso that the fair be closed on
Sundays, and be thought it expedient for Con-
gress to adopt 1t.
1t was demanded by the Christian and
patriotic sentiment of the country. Another
proposition advanced by Col. Shepard was that
the closing of the gates would be in accordance
with the Constitution and laws of the country.
Col. Shepard asserted that in all matters not
prohibited by the Constitution Congress may
act. and SO it might annex any condition it
chose to the expenditure of the national money.
In this connection Col. Shepard held that it
was in the power Of Congress to close the ex-
hibitiOn on any day of the week or make any
other condition for granting the appropriation.
The state Of Now York, he continued, had
positively directed thatit exhibit shall be kept
closed on Sunday. Action Of the same general
nature has been taken by the legislatures of
Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania.
Georgia, Ohio Arkansas and other states
In concluding his argument Col. Shepard
said that to adopt the proviso that the EXPOSE
ton shall be kept closed on Sunday will teach
visiting nations the way of happiness, and he
hoped that all the nations of the earth would
be represented at the exposition. II they found
that our national institutions, welfare and hap
piness were protected by the Sabbath, very
naturally they would seek to establish a Sab
bath in their own lands.

the new arrangement was a fair one; where
upon Mr.. Saxton said that he had examined

be democratic and thirteen republican. The
basis of representation would be 10000. OF
the twenty-one democratic districts, seventeen
or 80 per cent-eontained less than l76. coo.
while nine OF the thirteen republican districts
contained over 10000. The average population
OF the democratic districts was 172 900 and of the
republican districts 1s3. 900. This did not look
