Polk for President.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 25.-The pro-
gramme, as | hear it, is to nomi-
nate Polk for president and Weaver
for vice president, when the sum-
mer convention gets together. Gen.
Weaver, was, for time, considered
the probable nominee for president,
but it seems to be understood that
he will be willing to play second
fiddle, because it was necessary to
have Polk in order to reach the
great mass of Alliance voters in the
South. This may depend some
what upon Folks ability to deliver
the goods, and right there is where
Living ston comes in. 1t is evident
that there is no love lost between
them, although Col. Polk denies
using in his Fridays speech as
rough language about Livingston S
congressional resolution as was at
tributed to him by the stenographer's
report, which | quoted in my tele-
gram last night. He says he may
have ridiculed the resolution, but
he does not think he used the ex-
preston ''infamous demagogues" in
that connection.-Alanta Constitu-
ilOn.

SOUTHERN DELEGATES

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 25.-There was

fed with the outcome of the gather.
ing, although the delegates from
Georgia, Louisiana and other
Southern States freely confessed
that if the platform of the Demo-
cratic National convention covered
the financial planks Of the platform
adopted yesterday the new
movement would not cut mncb

tiles. The Kansas aud Minnesota

clans that manipulated lass nights
conference, including Weaver, of
Iowa, and Willets, of Kansas, were
soundly berated for their part in
making the gathering follow
those of the two old parties.
This morning the special
committee appointed to select
a place for the National conven-
ton met at the Richelieu Hotel.
when the claims of St. Louis, Indian
apolls, Omaha, Kansas City, Biz
mlngham, Ala, and Mobile were
presented. The principal contest
was between the first three. The
committee wanted guarantee of
$4,000 for the expenses of the
affair, but the guaranteers were
conspicuous by the silence. St.
Louis offered a decorated hall free
OF charge, and later agreed
to hrow in band. Omaha
could not offer money but its rep
resentatives promised to throw the
electoral vote of Nebraska to the
reople's ticket AS a reward for the
convention. 1t was claimed that
indianapolis was ready to guaran-
tee the necessary $4,000, but no.
body was prepared to put it in
black and white. When the COM
mittee adjourned for dinner no de-
cision had been reached. The
committee on the address to the peo-
pie under the Craftsmanship of
lgnatius Donnelly agree to call
upon the independent voters Of the
country to meet within month in
their respective Congressional dis
tricts and organize; the call includes
the platform adopted by the conven-
tlon. Representative Taubeneck,
OF illinois, says Omaha is the favor
ite in the race; Kansas City has
Withdrawn in its favor.

oMIrHF1ELD, Feb. % Spe
clal- The jury in the trial OF
Weitman Thompson for the murder
OF W. w. Pearsall, wife and
two children and then burning the
house over their dead bodies in
Wayne county on the night of De-
cember 23d, 1891, returned a YER
dict of guilty this a. m., at 1910
o'clock.
The evidence in the case was cir
cumstantial. No one saw the house
burning. Thompson had made
threats against Pearsall; was found
with coat and vest and suspenders
which were identified by witnesses
as belonging to Pearsall.
The prisoner had no witness and
dld not go on the stand.
Solicitor E. w. Pou and w. r.
Dortch, of Goldsboro, represented
the State.
Solicitor Pou made the greatest
effort OF his life il. the address to
the jury and is highly complimented
for his efforts in presenting the full
facts before the jury and it is gen.
orally conceded that these efforts
had great weight with the jury. Mr..
w. L. Dortch, his valued assistant.
made most excellent speech before
the jury.
Messrs. G. B. Aycock and T. A.
Daniels, of Goldsboro, and Mr.. J..
H. Pou appeared for the prisoner
and all made beautiful and eloquent
speeches IN his behalf.
A SAD SCENE.
The prisoner was ordered to
stand up at 11:l5 o'clock and when
the clerk read the Indictment and
asked him what he, had to say he
arose with frmness and said he
could not blame the jury; they had
done their duty. Witnesses swore
falsely against him. He was not
guilty of the crime. Judge Connor
then in an impressive and solemn
manner sentenced him to be hanged
Thursday. April 18th, and admon-
ished him to invoke the blessings
of the One who alone can deliver
him before he met his awful fate.
Hardly dry eye was to be seen
in the court room, but the prisoner
stood firm and not a tremor of fear
or anxiety passed over his form.
The jury signed petition to COM
mute his sentence to Imprisonment
for life.

NEwBsRN, Feb. 25.-Wh:lc-+he
sun shone bright and the skiesssere
unclouded, people Interested is the
Fair wore smiling faces and New
bern people were joyful over the
prospects of clear weather for the
week; but when the clouds came and a
steady drizzle began their hopes
were blasted. But the weather did
not prevent crowd from coming;
they came by rail, water, private
conveyance and almost every con-
celvable method. The best esti-
mates of the number Of visitors
here placed it at 5000. The pro.
cession yesterday was quite impos-
ing, the fire companies. bands, and
long line of carriages making a fine
show. Excellent order was kept
all during the day. Governor
Hollis speech was peculiarly
appropriate and pointed and was
much appreciated by the large
crowd. The weather prevented
the balloon ascension, but the rae
ing came off as advertised. The
first running race was won by
''Eliza Staton," Tarboro horse;
the second running race was won
by "Accidental," a horse owned in
Raleigh. The first trotting race
was won by Frank c." owned by
blackburn and Willett, of Newbern;
the second trotting race was won
by "May," horse from Elizabeth
Ci'y.
Many additions were made to the
exhibits this morning. Miss A.
W. Duffy possesses rare talent as a
taxidermist, her exhibit embracing
nearly 800 very natural specimens
Of birds and wild animals. The
cuIio department is better and
larger than last year, the exhibit
embracing hundreds of interesting
historical relics and queer articles.
The culinary department is COM
plete, including almost every del
icacy, pastries, preserves, jellies,
etc, daintily arranged. The art
and fancy work department is the
best~and most complete exhibit of
the kind | have seen at any fair in
the State.
It is to be hoped that the weather
may be favorable the rest of the
week, so that the balloon ascen-
sions, fireworks displays, ETC., may
be held. The fair will close Sat
urday night. l think it is, so far,
the best fair yet held in the State.

The attempt of the new management OF
the Paris Grand Opera house to have
cheap opera, beginning at P. M, has
been a failure. The reduction OF the price
of stall from thirteen francs to two and
a half francs brought washer women and
their families and peasants and suburban
shopkeepers by the hundred, nevertheless
il cost s.. eco to raise the curtain, but at
the popular scale the house only holds
81 200.
Some observant soul with morbid
memory has noted that scarlet always Is
the popular color in every leap year, ana
Judging from theatre audiences he is
right this time. The auditoriums are
filled with red, and not the dull claret,
mahogany, OF wine shades, but the warm
rich tints of cardinal, flowers and the
bright gay scarlet used by soldiers.
Twelve theatres. exclusive of the Royal
Opera house and number of music halls,

EDITOR ADVOCATE: Judge Gresham
said lately in a speech at Chicago, that
those who spend money in the corrup-
tion of voters and bribing election
officers are more dangerous enemies of
the republic, than we're the men who
were engaged in active rebellion
against it.
Here is something of which the last
gubernatorial campaign in our State
can give ample food for reflection. It
causes the honest people of our state
to shudder with fear when contem-
plating the outcome in the future.
Can anyone doubt that anything but
corruption of voters and bribery of
election officers, reduced Governor
Pattison's majority over the tool of the
machine, Delamater, and caused the
defeat of the rest of the Democratic
State ticket.
Think: who are the enemies of the
republic who was the head Of this
corruption move? who was the chief
of all this debauchery Why, Senator
Quay, now the Ex-Chairman of the
National Executive Committee of the
Republican Party.
This same Matt Quay still asserts
his power in Pennsylvania State poll
tics and is now an avowed candidate
for the Senatorship as his own success.
sor Democrats of Carbon county, you
know that the Republicans of our
county are for Quay. Kuntz is their
candidate for the Legislature, which
will elect a successor to Quay. Can
well meaning Democrats help in this ?
We hope not. A vote for Kuntz is a
vote for Quay. A vote for Biery is a
vote against corruption and fraud.

A County Superintendent Of Public
Schools will be elected in May next, in
place of 4. A. Snyder, Esq, who has
served very ably and faithfully for the
last nine years. Three years ago he
hesitated about another election, but
after due consideration he accepted
the honor. Under no circumstances
will he be candidate next May, and
the field is therefore open and free for
all to enter. Whilst we have no au-
thority to announce any one as a can
didate, we believe the following, aud
perhaps yet others, will be candidates:
Mr. McCabe, of Nesquehoning; Mr..
Porter, of Kidder; Mr.. Beisel, of Lans-
ford, and Mr. Ballet, Of Mahoning, all
experienced and successful educators,
and as far as we know them, either
would, as we are impressed, fill the
Office ably and well II is the kind of
an office that should not be awarded
under any political party considera-
tion, except in the negative against
any one who would himself draw or at
tempt to draw party lines in his own
favor or against any Of his competitors.
All we want is a good, competent and
worthy citizen to iill the important Of
fee, who will recognize no political
party in the discharge Of his official
duties.-D Democrat.
