mentioned in connection with
the nomination Harrison is the
smallest and perhaps the weak
est. He owes his nomination to
the patronage of his administra-
ton, and this, with his lack OF
ability and craftsmanship, are
the chief elements of his weak
ness.
Harrison has won a great per-
sonal victory. The public will
never know how Blaine regards
the result, as it will perhaps new
er know his real position i'll the
fight. 1t is plain that many Re-
publicans took the Maine states
man at his word when he wrote
his letter to GARRISON, and but
for this he would have been NOM
mated.
If Mr.. Blaine's name was used
at Minneapolis with his consent,
he was guilty of duplicity that
deserved defeated. No matter
how this may be, Mr.. Blaine's
public career has ended. He will
never again beconsidered a presi-
Dental possibility, should he live
to see another national cOnven-
ton of his party.
One of the peculiarities of the
contest is the fact that no5with-
standing, there was no avowed
candidate of any strength, the
force of the opposition to the
administration was sufficient to
make the fight hot and close.
There are several Republicans
who could have defeated the
President had they entered the
race three IN onths ago.
All this is proof of the weak
ness of Harrison in his own par
ty, and he will be defeated at the
polls in November.

HE ENEMIES of Cleveland now

THE ENEMIES of Cleveland now
concede that the Chicago conven-
ton will be controlled by his
friends. Their last resort is the
hope that when his friends get
together and compare notes they
will decide that it is best for the
party to nominate somebody
else. The Cleveland sentiment
will not down among the people
athome and it will srand upyery
stubbornly at Chicago.

THE DEATH OF COL. POLK.

The death of Col. L. L. Polk
removes one of the most conspic-
uous figures in American public
life. Perhaps no North CAROLYN
ian-and few men in the country
has welded so great influence
or had SO large a personal fol
lowing.
He was a man Of magnetism
and ability, a forcible writer and
strong and eloquent speaker.
His career was unique and event
full. Suddenly cut down in the
zenith of his glory, his end was
tragic.
AS a private citizen he was
esteemed by his neighbors; as the
President of the Alliance and
leader of the order he was the
idol of thousands of tillers Of the
soil in the South and the West;
as the leader of the Peoples par
ty and the chief PRONUNCIATION of
it's doctrines, he met the sharpest
criticism, and strongest cendem-
nation.
There would not be so much
political significance i'll the death
of any other man in America.
A great political movement OF
more strength than Democrats
or Republicans, as a rule, are
willing to admit, is left without
a leader, without a man to Or
ganize it's forces and crystalize
it's principles and policy.
Polk was head and shoulders
above all other Alliance and Peo-
pies party leaders in all the ele-
ments of leadership. Aman may
rise up to take his place, but that
is doubtful. Certainly there is
no man among Alliancemen and
Third party leaders, who can
bring the strength to tie Third
party movement in the South
that it would have secured had
Polk lived and been placed on
the National ticket by the Omaha
convention.
There is a solemnity in the
death of any man that touches d
cord of sympathy. and The SEN
TINEL, though pronounced in OPP
position to the great man who
has passed away, sincerely SYM
pathizes with the bereaved fami-
~ and the thousands of North
Carolinians who are panied by
the unexpected taking off Col.
Polk.
Col. Folks ability has never
been questioned by his paper and
there has been no feelings of per-
sonal luminosity against him.
We have opposed his political
principles from sense of duty.
Now that he has fallen in the
midst of a stormy battle, may
his rest be peaceful.

Not only is Harrison's nomination
wise Republican politics, but it is a
consistent act of craftsmanship for the
Republican party. RepubIicanism
means a prohibitive tariff and the
Force bill. Its other planks are either
cancellations which Democracy pro-
fesses with equal effusiveness, or
ssstraddles," as on silver or on civil~
service reform, which Democrats cul-
tiyate. too. Protection and the Force
bill define Republicanism. Harrison
stands for them. His nomination inn
personates them. That is frank and
right.-Brooklyn Eagle Dem.

Proceedings of the Cleveland and
Thurman Club.

A large and enthusiastic meeting OF
the Cleveland and Thurman club was
held at the city hall Friday night Sept
9th, with President Few in the chair.
The secretary being absent, w. T.
Burch was chosen secretary pro TEN.
Owing TO the fact that the recent
Democratic victory in Miller county
was attained so decisiyely and en-
phatically, it was decided, upon mo-
tion of G. A. Hays, TO be somewhat
lenient with the repeated opposition
and at least allow it time to crawl
from beneath the avalanche of Demo
cratic ballots and rub the sand from
its eyes and ears, by postponing the
jollification and torch light procession
until Oct. 18th.
The Committee on Speakers was
instructed to make an effort to secure
the presence of Senators James X.
Jones and James Ii. Berry, Congress
man Thos. c. Mcllrae, Hon. w. V.
Tompkins and other eminent speak
ers for the occasion.
The club then adjourned until Fri
day evening, Sept. l6, when every
member is expected to be present
with one or more new members.

Accident on the Cotton Belt.

This morning as No. passenger
train for Memphis, ON the Cotton Belt,
was pulling out of the city. it was
backed into by a switch engine push
ing some cars from siding on to the
main line, opposite the Oil Mil. A
car, heavily loaded with lumber,
crashed into the passenger coaches,
doing considerable damage. Nobody
injured, which is remarkable, consid-
ering the circumstances.
The passenger train was an hour
late in going out, and it is thought
that the engineer on the Iron Noun
tain switch engine, ON this account,
made the mistake.

UNBOUNDED SUCCESS.

Dr Wilbur, the Celebrated Specialist,
 Remains Only Until Monday Night,
 February go.
 But few days longer ere that cele- brated surgeon and physician, Dr Will bur, who has been stationed at the Scovill house in this city for the past month, will return to his home in Hart ford, and it is but just tribute to this gentleman that a brief outline of the record he has established in our city and surrounding country should be given to the public. To say that he has performed miracles does not half express the many wonderful cures he has made. Each day, and even unto late hour of the night, have the weak, decrepit, blind and maimed, the old and young, sought his office to receive from his hands that which no other skill save his, has been able to relieve. That many have been turned away as incurable, there is no question, but in most instances the most despairing have received at his hands that relief for which they had so long sought, but in vain. To say that he has made the blind see, the lame walk, the deformed to once more stand up in per feet manhood, the decrepit and maimed to walk with renewed vigor and life, and inspired into the hearts of many, brighter hopes for their future happi- ness IS but adding to the many praises he justly deserves, for life spent in con stant and deep researches into many hidden remedies, that once brought to light, now give to suffering humanity that assistance that for SO long they have called in valn.
 That the world is full of those who claim to perform many cures, and in nearly every instance fail, is but too well known, and it is for that reason if naught else, that when man is battling against these barriers, so numerous to seem beyond human skill to override them, passes through and over every obstacle and finds himself at last as loudly praised by the multitude as they would hurl at the heads of the preten- ders their curses, that he justly merits every enconium of praise that true manhood can bestow upon him. Com ing to our city stranger, unknown to this immediate section, save by the few who have visited him in his home, Dr Wilbur has endeared himself to the many hundreds to whom he has given such relief and will leave behind him host of friends who cheerfully give ut terance to every praise that is given him. Besides all this he leaves living witnesses of his wonderful powers who heartily recommend him to all who seek relief.
