The Republican State Convention

The Republican State Convention.
The convention closed its labors
Tuesday night. After exciting
conferences the convention de-
clared against putting out a State
ticket, with the exception of Gov
ernor. Hon. H. L. Remmel, of
Newport, was nominated by accla-
nation. There was universal Op-
position to supporting the Popu.
list ticket.
The following resolution was
introduced by Col. W. II. II.
Clayton and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the Republicans
of Arkansas are advised to cast
their votes at the next State Con-
vention for the Hon. H. L. Rem
mel, the Republican candidate for
Governor, and that they do not
vote for any other State officers.
That the fact that q candidate
for Governor alone is placed on
our ticket is not to be taken as
an endorsement of any candidate
of any other party.
Judge Boles, Of Fort Smith,
favored the putting of a complete
ticket in the field. Gen. Clayton
said under ordinary circumstances
Judge Boles' position would be q
strong one, but the large list of
names on the State ticket made it
impossible for the colored voters
to scratch the ticket properly.
With a Governor only to vote for
there would be plenty of time to
vote the ticket without making
any mistakes. While he deplored
this condition he was glad TO
know that the ex.Confederate
soldier had recently shown him
self ready to join hands with the
Union soldier in preserving the
Union. They were brave men.
He knew it, he had faced some Of
them.
Four years ago he favored
fusion because he then deemed a
free ballot and a fair count above
everything else.
But the P0pulists turned tail,
too. He scored Populist Repre-.
sentatives in Congress for their
attitude toward the Government
during the late strike. He wanted
to see the Democrats and Popu-
lists fight it out. He was con.
vinced that their nominee. Mr..
Remmel, would conduct a manly,
earnest campaign.
Col. W. G. Whipple endorsed
the course already taken by the
convention.
A colored delegate from Jeffer-
son was glad the convention had
decided to concentrate on one
candidate. Judge Glib thought
that Mr.. Remmel would receive
the hearty support of all negroes
in the State. He said for his part
he wonld vote for a regular DEM
ocrat before he would vote for a
Populist.
Col. Jas. X. Barnes thought the
course of the convention was a
cOwardly makeshift.
1t was a confession of weakness
unworthy of the party which out
numbered the Populists five to
one.
Yet he would do all he could
for the ticket.
Judge Boles guaranteed every
Republican vote of Sebastian for
Remmel.
The Republican Convention
split upon the idea of supporting
the Populist ticket in the most
contemplate manner.

Among the first church organizations

the Church of the North Branch. The
date of the first meeting is SO far back in

however, informs the descendants that
there was an organization as early as
Ills, and that church Of logs was built
in 17l9 at the point where the north and

converge and flow to the sea. This was
the beginning of the congregation Of the

President George B. Roberts. of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, a sys-
TEN which pays out 500, 100000 a year,
has recently returned from Europe. He
is one of the most conservative of the
men who stand for the great railway
interests OF this country. and his views
on the economic situation command at
tention. He said to a World reporter
yesterday:
Il do not believe that there will be a
speedy or radical rebound from the re-
cent business depression, but I do look
for a gradual and general Improvement
which will be evidenced by an active de-
mand for paying investments on the part
OF capitalists. Money will now. I think,
be drawn into active uses, and will
stimulate enterprise in many directions,
80 that we may look for greater activity
in all branches OF trade and manufacture.
So far as my observation goes. there is
already G. general return throughout the
country to manufacturing activity; the
manufacturers Of iron are more active
now than for a year past. 1t Is true that
prices are almost down to cost. but there
should be an improvement in them.
I'm many instances. regret to say,
there is large amount OF fictitious
capital in American railways. The older
companies, organized before the days
OF speculation, were built upon a full
money value for the securities issued,
but more recently many railroad enter
prises have been engineered by bankers
or promoters and stocked or bonded for
two or three times the cost OF the prop
erty. In their efforts to earn some re-

The first congregation consisted OF not
more than a half dozen persons, so the
old records say, and 1t was called the
Church of the North Branch, because 1t
was built overlooking that stream, as it

conjunction with the South Branch,

1inghuysen was also pastor of the first
church at Somerville and at New Bruns-

by his son, John Frelnghuysen.
In 173S the old log church was burned
