The Body Of Ex-Gover-
nor Holden Inferred In
Oakwood Cemetery.
SIMPLE CEREMONIES.
Distinguished Hen, Many Friends
and the Typographical Onion in
Body Pay a Last Tribute
of Respect.

The fun naral of the late William
Woods Holden, ex editor, x-Gov-
ernor and X-postmaster, was held
yesterday afternoon from Eden,on
street Methodist church at 4o'c,ock. 4
In early manhood he was
a member of this church.
and in his last years it
was the sanctuary to which his steps,
tired of tne turmoil and disappoint-
mcnts Of political life, turned with
love and devotion. He was one of
the Oldest members, and until he be-
came too feeble, his seat was never
vacant upon the Sabbath services.
His heart was stayed upon God; and
those who knew him most init
mately, are those who sorrow most
at his death. They have no shadow
of doubt of his entire conservation.
Years ago he put the woes, the
am bitions, and the disappointments
Of the world behind, and for a num-
ber of years his mind has been occu-
pied with little else ban the study
Of the Bible, and religious work.
The Governor, the Chief Justice
AID Associate Justices, State Off
GERS, prominent citizens. a large
number of old men who had been
the reel pient of his favors; the Ty-
geographical Union assembled to pay
a last tribute of respect. For more
han Gfty years, Gov. Holden had
been q resident of Raleigh. Here
he has maay friends; and this is
the best testimonial Of his g oodness.
The funeral services were conducted
by Presiding Elder Cuninggim,
pastor Cole and Rev. DR.. Reid,
editor of the Raleigh Christian Id
vOcdte. At tho conclusion Of the
simple service of prayer, song and
lessons from the Bible, pastor Cole
stated that he had been forbidden by
the family from paying an extended
tribute to the brother whose loss is
mourned by his brethren. Very
tenderly and very briefly, Mr.. Cole
alluded to the exemplary Christian
character which illumined the sun.
set of the life of the ex
Governor and of the love and affec
ton which the members of hi.
church and all Christian people who
knew him well, bore to him. The
services were concluded at tn,
grave. The pall-bearers were
Messrs. G. II. Belvin, w. G. Up
church, B. p. Williamson, r. T
Gray, Theo. H. Hill, T. H. Brigg
and w. r. Richardson.

vocate the Democratic platform of

TIE Easton (Md.) Democrat,
which is Owned by Senator Gibson,
thinks that Gofman will be nomi-
mated, and that he could secure
the united support of all factions in
New York.
The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle
says that Senator Hill is the most
successful leader in the Democratic
party. He has never been defeated
before the people of New York,
and will not be for the presidency
if the Democratic party of the
Union has the wisdom of confirm
ing his nomination at Chicago.
1t is reported that Senator Sher-
man will resign his seat next win
ter and that Secretary of Treasury
Chas. Foster will succeed him. 1t
is stated that he did not desire
re election but consented to it only
TO prevent the election of Fora
ker.
Senator Hill is great politician
but either doesn't know anything
about the silver questian or doesn't
care to express himselfon In il so that
he can be understood-mav be that
is because he is great politician.
In his Albany speech, the silver
portion of which was copied in this
paper yesterday, he did not touch
free coinage and his dicussion of the
Sherman law was mere j4rgon.-
