North Carolina Republicans Proud Of the
State Convention.
n ,ya,ca % The

state Convention.
Correspondence of The Evening Star
RALEIGH, \. c., Sept s, 1892.
The republicans have certainly nominated
strong ticket in North Carolina. Taken all round
it is one of the very best that party has ever
put up. Every man ON it. SO far as The STARS
correspondent is aware. Is speaker, and some
are good ones. The members of the party are
proud of the work they did yesterday. and it is
notable that those who professed the most bit
ter opposition TO state ticket are today ear
nest advocates of it and pledge it their hearth
est support The negroes a rule opposed a
ticket, but some Of their speakers announced
In convention that what was done pleased them.
DR.. J. ]. Mott, for years the party's chairman
and the leader OF the ticket faction. is unre-
lenting. He stated publicly yesterday that he
would vote the democratic state ticket. How
many will follow his example is not known.
J. G. l.. Harris. Motifs lieutenant. told me last
night that the state would go democratic by
10000. Yet two or three hours later it was
stated that If Harris were today nominated an
elector from this district he would not oppose
the action of the convention. IL was a current
runIor night before last and Yesterday morning
that the negroes in the convention would dis
cipiine Nr. Harris Tor attacks upon them which
he has made this year.
Mr.. Harris was informed of this move and
was prepared for 1t. But the leaders of the
faction opposing him devised another way Of
crushing him and followed it. He offered a
resolution tina. there be no state ticket. After
what promised to be a lively discussion had
begun 1t was cut short in q moment by q motion
made by Mr.. Parnell, editor Of The North
State. to table Mr. Harris resolution. In one
minute this was done. There was a great
cheer. Harris and his followers sat silent. 1t
was evident that they had no strength.
Chairman Eayes. Harris and Motifs bitter
h.. n H.
The conventions work was prearranged
Every committee list was ready. every man who
was TO make nominating speech notified
The result was that In four and hali hours the
convention did all its work For the first time
in the party's history every nomination was
made by reclamation. No heed was giveng the
anti-tic ket faction. The scantest courtesy was
shown Harris and over him and the others the
temporary and permanent chairman rode rough
shod.
POSITION OF THE THIRD PARTY.
The chairman Of the third psrty's state COM
mittee, Ohio Wilson, was on the stage. He
made no pre.ense of concealment- Indeed, the
deal between these parties is q pretty open one.
II was asserted on the floor that many of the
third party men would go oyer to the republi-
cans
The test will soon be made as to whether the
greater part of the third party men will return
to the democratic ranks. That is now q factor
IN the campaign
The republican speakers have a very slight
opinion OF Elias Carr, the head of the demo
cratic ticket and deem him a weak man and a
poor speaker. He was alluded to many times
In the convention yesterday and there was al
ways q sneer, open or covert.
There are sure TO be some developments by
| the DEMOCRATS now that the republican conven-
ton is passed and there will be the everest at
! tacks on the leaders of the third party. Some
revelations regarding some Of these are to be
made. The democrats hate them worse thar
they ever hated the republicans, and one car
hear every day the phrase "As between third
party man and q republican l should vote fol
| the latter every time"
