The hand of Tammany is to be
seen in the resolutions offered by Mr..
Bourke Cochran at the Friday night
meeting. That is to say, Tammany-
ties, Ike the Southern Democrats,
regard the force bill ~ the most i'm
portsnt issue involved in the current
campaign. The Tammany resoln-
tions endorse the resolutions of the
Chicago convention en- bloc, but
afterwards single out the Republi-
can force bill for separate and spe-
cific condemnation, just as the
Southern States have generally done.
The Tam1nany resolutions denounce,
"as tending to subvert our constitu-
tional system, the Republican policy
of establishing Federal control of
elections throughout the country,
whether that control be exercised by
partisan boards, such as the Repub-
Icans contemplated when in power,
or by non-partisan boards, such as
the President under stress of politi-
cal conditions declares that he is now
ready to accept.
When the bugle sounds Tammany
will be found aligned with the Dem
ocrats of the whole Union, and Mr..
Hill will be found at the head of
the famous organization pointing
out the way and leading the gallant
Democracy to another triumph over
the Republican malignants. The
election does not seem to be so near
at hand in New York as it seems to
be to us here. In the Empire State
both parties usually favor short
campaigns. The people do not seem
to be as fond of politics as we are
here in Virginia, and so the cam
paigns are usually made much
shorter in New York than here,
Anyhow, we may look forward to a
fierce arraignment of the Republi-
can party in that great State. Tam
many will make 1t red-hot for the
Republican malignants, and will on
the 8th- of November roll up such a
majority for Cleveland as will teach
the Republican sectionalists that
they have lived too long. The glad
tidings that New York stands with
her sister States of the South will be
sent throughout the length and
breadth of the land. 1t will be a
victory for the real friends of the
Constitution and for the supporters
of law and order. It will be q VIC
tory for the whole country-not for
a gang of sectionallsts. It will be
victory that will not need to be sup
plemented by another such triumph
in order to the entombment of the
Republican party. It will be VIC
tory that will consign that party
ITO the vile dust from whence it sprung
Unwept, unhonored, and unsung".
Well done, Tammany.-Richmo,sd

4 DIVIDEND DECLARED
The First in Its History
The A. g. N. c. r. r. Board of Directors
Announce 2 per cent. Dividend on
the Capital Stock of the Road
to be Paid on October ist.

The Board of Directors of the A.
& N. r. r. met in special session in
this city yesterday, President W. S.
Chad wick presiding, and the full
membership of the Board being in
attendance. The purpose of the
meeting was to determine what dis
position to make of the surplus that
had accumulated in the hands of the
Treasurer of the company, under
President Ghadwick's able and ag-
gressive administration.
After a prudential consultation
the Board unanimously decided to
declare dividend of 2 per cent. on
the capital stock Of the company, to
be paid on and after the first Of Oc-
tober.
To pay this dividend will require
$50, 900, of which sum $4,000 will
go to the State of North Carolina,
which owns two thirds of the stock.
This reads like fairy tale! The
A. & N. G. B. R.-the "Old Mullet"
declaring dividend!
And yet it is true. The first in
the whole history of the road, that
covers nearly forty years. And this
fact becomes the more commenda-
tory of President Chadwicks's ad-
ministration, when we consider that
he came to the Presidency of
the road under many adverse
circumstances, that the road was
deeply. in debt-a floating debt
of over $3O,000-the rolling stock
badly run down, the locomotive
equipment very bad and insufficient,
etc. Since he took hold the floating
debt has been paid off, the rolling
stock repaired and enlarged, three
new passenger cars-inciuding a
handsome chair car,-have been
purchased, two large locomotives,
also, and the old locomotives thor
oughly repaired-and all paid for:
so has the annual interest on the
mortgage debt.
When we consider all these en-
cumbrances and expenditures that
haye been sustained within the three
years of Mr.. Chadwick's administra-
tion, and the further fact, that be-
sides paying $4,000 for the above
dividend there is yet sufficiency in
the treasury to cover current and
incidental expenses, it becomes a
matter Of wonder as well as of con-
graduation, that the road has ac-
complished so much under his re-
gime.
It was meet, indeed, that the Board
of Directors should have passed, as
they did, resolution commendatory
Of Mr.. Chadwick for his pre- eminent
success.

JOHN WHITTIER DEAD.
Sketch of the Life of the Quaker Poet
and Abolitionist.

HAMPTON FALLS, N. H., Sep
tember John G.. Whittier died at
4:3O this morning. He passed away.
peacefully. His nearest relatives
and DIR. Douglass were at his bed
side when day came, and he seemed
to be conscious of his surroundings
at the last moment. The funeral
takes place at Amesbury, Massachu-
setts, at $50 p. m. Saturday
next.
John Greenleaf Whittier was born
at Haverhin, Mass, on December II,
1902. His parents were members of
the Society of Friends, and to the
principles and practices of this sect
he conformed during his life. Whit
tiers first occupations were those of
a farmers boy, with all the attend
ant freedom. and outdoor life, and he
thus early acquired the love of ma
ture and simple life which marked
his career. His early schooling
must haye been exceedingly scanty,
being confined to the district schools.
While yet in his 10th year he con-
tributed anonymous verse to the
Free Press at Newburyport. These
verses attracted the attention of w.
Il. Garrison, the editor of the journ-
al, who sought out the young poet
and the two men became firm and
fast friends. After the death of his
father young Whittier liyed on the
old farm, although industriously
contributing to number of Journ-
ais. From 1929 he was successfully
editor of the american Manasfac-
ttrer at Boston, the Hayerhill Ga
zette, and the Neav ENGLAND Weekly
Revseav. In 1896 he became -secre-
taly of the American Anti-SlaYery
Society, and afterward removed to
Philadelphia, where during 1838-'39
he edited the Pennsylvania freeman
and where his Office was sacked and
burned by mod. In 184O
he removed to Amesbury, Mass,
where he spent nearly all the.
remainder Of his life in literary la
bors. Up to the time of Lincoln's
emancipation proclamation his pen
was always active in the abolition
cause.
The task of the modern musician
is a far more important and serious
one than formerly. Itrequires now
more thorough training of the in
tellectual powers in order to keep
abreast with the advancement of the
modern art spirit as evinced in the
scores of our great symphonists and
operatic composers. Ritter.

The Vermont Slump.

Vermont has given Harrison an
awful slump, and the Republican
leaders of both New England and
the nation will understand it. The
majority for Governor is less than
10000, and that is much the
smallest majority ever given in a
Presidential year since the organi-
zation of the Republican party.
-Four years ago Vermont gave
Harrison a grand send-of by roll
ing up $4,000 Republican majority
for Governor and Maine followed
with Is, 900. It was accepted by
all as notice that the New Eng
land Republicans were united and
enthusiastic for Harrison. The
result was that all the New Engs
land States were carried for Harri-
son by large majorities, with the
single exception of Connecticut
that was saved for Cleveland by
ONLY 800 majority.
Now Vermont has fallen far
below the smallest September Re-
publican majority given in Press
idential year, and Maine is next
certain to follow with another
slump by giving from 10000 to
10000 majority instead of the
more than $4,000 given four years
ago. These results will not be
misunderstood by any Of the party
leaders. They will mean that
New England is not united and
earnest for Harrison, and that the
Republicans must make desperate
battle for New Hampshire, Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island with
nearly even chances against their
success.
The people of Vermont did not
give Harrison this awful slump by
accident. They have only one pos
litical battle il every four years,
as all their other elections are un-
contested. They must come to the
front in September of each ma
tional contest and put out the
fingerboard of party unity and
earnestness or of party indifer-
ence. In 1879 and again 1884
when the Democrats carried the
country, Vermont fell down to less
than $4,000 and $4,000 respec-
lively, while in winning years the
majority went up to $4,000 or to
$4,000. Now the worst slump Of
all comes with less than 10000
majority, and that means that even
Massachusetts is trembling in the
scale.
The Republican leaders we'll
understood the Importance of a
large majority in Vermont. The
ablest speakers of national fame,
such as Mckinley and Butter>
worth, were sent there, and Sena-
tor Proctor, who LETT the Harrison
Cabinet to enter the Senate, put
the issue distinctly in his Rutland
speech when he said !: eff the
Republican party maintains its
average majority it will be hailed
as a Republican victory. If the
Democrats reduce that majority It'll
will be heralded far and wide as
an omen of Democratic success in
the nation"
OF course, explanations are als
ways offered by party organs; but
the foregoing public proclamation
from Senator Proctor told the
exact truth. The people of Ver-
mont heard the jablest Harrison
champions and then gave them
the awfnlest political slump of
modern contests.-Philadelphsa
Times.

THE COUNTY CONVENTION
THE LARGEST AND
MOST HARMON
IOUS FOR
YEARS.
The Ticket Is a Winner.

lie AdyAc equity DeMOCIdCy
held their convention for the nomi-
nation of county and Legislative
ticket yesterday in the Messenger
Opera House in this city, and it was
one of the largest and most harmoni-
Gus gatherings of like nature we
have ever witnessed.
If any one had heretofore been of
the opinion that Democracy in
Wayne county was on the wane they
had but to confrontathe full array of
delegates from the several townships
and precincts as they sat together in
convention yesterday to haye all
their doubts allayed and their con-
victions made stronger than ever be-
fore that Wayne county is the tryst-
ing ground of Democracy and the
staunch, aggressive champion of
white supremacy.
Many of the doubters and weaken
ing ones who had come to look on
who had of late held aloof, or entire
ly withdrawn from affiliation with
Democratic dellberations--many who
had thus come to see what they
might see, grew interested, were
awakened to realization of whittier
they were drifting, and the old faith
returned to them warm. pulsing,
true again to the Democratic party
the best friend of the people-all
the people, the masses. And so
will they continue to come back
these wanders, as the campaign
wages warmer and warmer towards
the Ides of November.
The convention was duly7called to
order by Mr.. I. E. Dortch, and Mr..
j. A. Stevens was requested to act as
temporary secretary. The temporary
was made permanent,
and the convention declared open
for business.
The first thing that engaged the

dorsement of the nominees for Tax

who have to be voted for over the
entire county. This was unanimously
done and they are as follows:
