ALLIANCE CONVENTION.
The western Members Talk cd
straight Democracy.

RALEIGH, May Is [SpcciaII-At 4
a meeting Of the Buncombe county d lc.
cation held yesterday afternoon, NJ. l..
Reed was chosen chairman and NJ. Z.
Carter selected as member of the com.
mittce on platform. No proxies were al
lowed to be voted by the delegation.
Marion Butler and his licutcnants, in
holding their secret political caucus in
the third story OF a warth ,usc, seemed
to forget that there was still another
story above, and that loose walls and
floors have cars. The whole thing was
cut and dried, and Butler as pres ident
applied the gag most vigorously when
the democratic allianccmcn attempted
to express themselves. With Polk at his
elbow to suggest, their scheme was
pushed through, but not a single western
allianceman was caught.
The scheme is to affiliate with no
party that does not endorse the s. Louis
platform; to vote for no man for prcsi,
dent who does not advocate it, and even
to go so far as to attempt to dissuadc
democratic allianccmcn, who are here
as delegates to the democratic convcn,
ton, from abiding by its action unless
the st. Louis platform isa loptcd. Moth.
ing was said for or against any demo-
cratic candidate. Not single democrat
allianccman OF any prominence in the
west, and but one or two in the cast,
will abide by the action OF Buffers eau
Gus.
J. J. Laughingheuse, of Pitt county,
ono OF the most prominent alliunccmcn
OF the state, fought the Butler Polk ma
chine like a tiger. He was ably seconded
by State Lecturer Bell of Clay; NJ. l.

wood; d. A. Blackwell, of Buncombc
and others.
The caucus will amount to nothing, as
not man will be caught by it who
was not already third party man.

spent by the inhabitants and visitors Of
this highly favored village. The college
chapel was more than full by 10 O'Clock,
the hour appointed for the exercises to

very interesting. There were two con-
tests one by the young ladies for thecl
cution medal, the other By the Young
men for The Weaver dee ccanation medal.
The contests were good; anyone who
is acquainted with the training given in
this institution would expect nothing
else.
The contest by the young ladies, which
occupied the morning, was opened by
"sword drill" Ten young ladies consti-
tuted the body. with Mrs. Mcdowell as
officer. This performance presented a
war-llkc appearance, as the Young ladies
were all i'll uniform. In connection with
the drill was a reading of The charge of
the light BRIGADE by Mrs. Mcdowell
and acted bv the body. The body and
the officer deserve much praise for this
beautiful performance.
Dinner was served on the grounds.
The writer had the pleasure OF dining
with Prof. Iost and wife. Mrs. Yost
succeeds admirably in making a bcauti-
Iul home, DR.. Guthrie, of Shclbv, n. c.,
Mrs. Ed. Ray, of Ashevillc, and Mr.. Cur
It's, OF tiomjny, with a number OF others
were guests at this lace.
All were i'll fine condition to enjoy the
speeches by the Young men in the after
noon. Most of the selections were pc
cuiarly southern in sentiment and all
were well delivered.
Late i'll the afternoon and evening the
ladies OF the town served an ice cream
supper.
AS the exercises advance they grow in
| interest.

The loss oa the building will probably
have to be borne by the city. The con-
