read and see what is going on. THE
GLOBE is outside-it is not a political
paper-and it sees things with no scales
on its ewes. The Concord Standard makes
an original proposition, and this is it:
The Wilmington Messenger is authori-
ty for the statement that the name Of Coz.
J. S. CARR will be presented for first
honors at the ~gubernatorial convention,
May IS.
Some one suggested that it would be
an elegant triangular contest to nomi-
nate COLONEL CARR on the democratic,
COLONEL WASH DUKE, the republican of
cigarette fame, and a prominent editor
of the state on the peoples ticket.
But the Standard is not in the ticket
making business. 1t will vote, however,
and vote for no man who thinks be can
bed with a trust and at the same time be
a democrat.
We suppose, and in fact the affair is
authentic, that Col. J. S. CARR will 50
before the convention.
Of course WASH DUKE will not attempt
a republican race in this campaign, espe-
cially as the third party fellows are in
the race for all that can be in it. The
Standard strikes HOLT a lick in its refer
oaa - - +-,o+ fo111r hit He U hnc rnr

The Raleigh correspondent of the Will
mington Messenger perhaps throws ONE
light upon the question of ALEXANDER's
refusing to run in the following:
There is a good deal of quiet laughter
at the visits of North Carolinians to
Washington just at this time. The Wis.,
itors are called "pilgrims." There is
to-day much talk about AUDITOR SAN
DERLIN's visit. 1t is alleged that he was
pressed to be a candidate for the nomi-
nation for governor, 1t is rumored here
that POLK is opposed to ALEXANDER
and will "knife" him if he is a candidate
for the nomination.
Now comes the Charlotte News and
makes the following statement which is
perhaps worth while to print as a matter
of news and opinion:
In figuring on candidates for governor
Of North Carolina, politicians can leave
off the name of CAPT. S. B. ALEXANDER
The News has it direct from CAPTAIN
ALEXANDER in which he states his posi-
ton positively and requests that MIR.
BUTLER, who is to speak here tomorrow,
be notified of it. The inference is plain
that CAPTAIN ALEXANDER is not only
not a candidate for the nomination, but
that he would not accept it.
This leaves GOVERNOR HOLT, DR. G..
W. SANDERLIN and JULIAN S. CARR in
the field. Either one of the three would
make a good governor. 1t is understood
that the alliance influence will be thrown
in favor of DIR. SANDERLIN.
The Concord Times lets COLONEL
WEBSTER out of the race in the follow
ing style:
There is a current that EDITOR
JOHN r. WEBSTER, of the Reidsville
Weekly, is to be the candidate of the
third party for governor, but Mr.. WEB
sTER says he will not be a candidate for
this nor fol the congressional nomination
from the fifth district. He gives his sup
port to CONGRESSMAN WILLIAMS for the |
~latter's retention in that position. MR.
WEBSTER nnounces himself as a demo
crat pure and simple
The truth is there is much work on the
table, and the business will perhaps not
be cleared up until about the 18th day of
May, this year of our Lord, A. D, 1892
NOT APPRECIATED IN DURHAM.
In this rustling, hustling, mercenary
age, when notoriety passes for fame and
vulgar pretention for true worth, modest
merit takes a back seat and is overlooked
in the shuttle.
There was a time when genius could
afford to be dignified-when it was not
compelled to blow a tin horn in the
streets TO let people know it was there;
when it was recognized as something not
to be bought and sold and when it
needed no letter of Introduction, but its
own powers to instruct and entertain,
into the homes of the good and the abode
of the great.
But things have changed.
The man, no matter what his gifts and
accomplishments, who is modest and I'm.
obtrusive, who, conscious of his own
abilities, waits for people to find them
