THE Citizen acknowledges the utter folly of building railroad over des- ert country, be it ever so cheap 10 construct. It contains in its issue of last evening the appended local item :
 The chief engineer of the Santa Fe has reported in favor of the route from Florence to Calabasas, being a less expensive one than the route froa, the same point to Benson. Cheapness of construction, however, is nothing in favor of road, when no profits are visible.

HARRISON ANIL REID.

In the national Republican con
vention at Minneapolis last FRIDAY
President Harrison was nominated
for a second term on the fist BALLOT
The ballot stood Harrison 533 &c:
Blaine 1872 6; Mckinley 1872; Reed
4; Lincoln |.
1t was more overwhelming vic.
tory for the President than he HIM.
st If expected, doubtless.
His Office holders were strong in
his favor and it was this army OF
officers that did the work.
We think that the popular voice
Of the Republican party throughout
the country would have been for
Blaine.
Whitelaw Reid, the editor Of the
New York Trtjue, was nominated
by 2cci"matiOn for Vice President

THE THIRD PARTY.

The Third party convention at
Halifax last Saturday was presided
over by Capt. +. A. Thorne. Mr..
W. +. Bowers was elected county
chairman. Delegates were appoint
cd TO attend the district Congre ssion-
a. convention in Rocky Mt. We
have heard that among those sp~
pointed were coloCed men who will
20 as delegates to take seats in the
convention.
n The contention at Halifax, 8
coiorcA :nan made speech OF half
hours length, we were told, and ur-
ged nominations a. once, which the
convention did not do. He was
from Roseneath township and said
# the convention would make noml-
natloHs at once, be would pledge the
colored peoples support, but if the
nnBinatiO were deferred be would
pledge nothing.
Now, it l5 somewhat surprise to
Us that men OF the intelligence OF
these @hn were in that convent ton
could not see what the colOred broth
er was driving at. ANY one who has
observed the maneuvers Of the Re-
publ'"an party in the past ought to
knoWn tat that party has no idea OF
combining forces with any other. And
especially will the C0lOred people not
do it. This same colored man BY
promising cooperation was trying to
urge that convention to make nomi
nations so he might go back 10
his republican friends and co.work-
c. a"2 combine forces against the
third party and democracy.
Why could not these gentlemen
see u Cen these men who have
been life long democrats, fighting
fer white supremacy be content to
take into their ranks these colored
men who have all the while, led
on by unprinclpled demagosues,
done everything they could to put
down white supremacy ?
Gentlemen, stop aud think and re-
memt CT that the national republican
ticket il now headed by two bitter
South-haters, Benjamin Harrison and

or less for wears with some kidney
disease, and the great strain undel
which he mas been labOrlng ana the
speaking and travelling which ne
has done for the past three years,
greatly aggravated his trouble anu
fastened the end.
Perhaps two weeks before his
death his prospects for long lite
were apparently as good as they
ever had been. But the summons
came and the sad hour which must
come to all came him in the zenith
of strong and vigorous manhood.
Col. Folks prominence during
the past dozen years has been so
marked that there is little need for
mentioning it here. The whole
state of North Carolina knows BIN
we'll and knows his record. Most
of the Southern states know him
also; and, IN fact, his reputation was
national.
He was the son OF farmer, was
| reared on a farm, was lett an or
nhan at a tender age and owed his
prominence and distinction to
his own energy and indefatigable
nerslstence In his battle with the
world. He was about 50 years

| Personally Col. Polk was a most
| genial, large hearted and 6enevo
llent gentleman. He was a man OF
rare powers. He was fluent in
speech; indeed if North Carolina
can lay claim to orators, we think
Col Polk would stand in the list
His home life was beautiful and his
entire family mirrored his kindly
disposition in their own.
i We knew him personally and
Ihave been in his home and we
have always remembered every
F personal acquaintance with him
and his family with pleasure.
, While we differed with him II
his views on some matters Of pub
Elic interests, we have only the
kindest lecollections OF him per
, sonally, and no one can gainsay
, the fact that he was one of the
boldest and most successful lead
ers of the people that have lIveC
, in this nation during the last hal
f a century.
He was buried in Raleigh Sun
