lar annual meeting of the stockholders OF
the Carolina Central Railroad Company,

the part of the stockholders. in view OF

oellent management which had charac-

There is city in the western part Of

which is named by all who visit it the
most desolate spot upon the face Of the

resources excellent, its houses fair, its
streets we'll paved. yet within this town
there is an air of forlorn detection that
strikes the most careless traveller that
comes within its boundary.
1t is on Vancouver island-a sweet,

by one thing-one only-the lack Of
women and girls.
This particular town is scarcer of the

took ii the queens Of the city, the fair
matrons of the homes and the mistresses

SARATOGA, Aug. 25-The end Of long

leader Of the party, and but once an office
holder, is besieged in 50 vigorous man.
ner that his determination not to be a
candidatc-still adhered tots quite likely
to be overridden and the scenes that
marked the nomination of David B. Hill
In 1891 may find q Republican repetition
today.
On the other hand, men who for months
have nursed gubernatorial booms find
those boOms on the verge Of collapse
collapse so sudden that it has paralyzed
the ambition of energetic workers and
spread some discomfort among the rank
and file. The proposed nomination Of
Platt, it is alleged, is for the purpose Of
healing the differences and preventing n
breach between the followers of Aldridge
and Fish, but II that is the aim it would
be hardly successful for already there Is
friction over who shall be Platt's running
mate.
As to whether Plat has changed his at.
titude from refusal to consideration Of
acceptance he said himself last night: II
have not receded from my position of last
night. The pressure brought to bear upon
me today has been very great, and SIM
ply have said that will not give final de-
cision on the entire question until tomor-
| row morning." By some this is con-
strued to mean that Platt will reconsider
and accept, but there are others equally as
positive that he will not accept.

Bryan and Sewall Both To BE at st. Louis
and Speak.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-It Is stated at
Democratic headquarters here that there
is a growing demand that the Democratic
club convention at St. Louis cover two
days instead of one, as now arranged for.
The officers of the national association are
considering the feasibility of amending
the call and making the dates Tuesday and
Wednesday, Sept. 90 and 81, the first day 5
session being devoted to temporary Or
ganization and reports Of the officers, to
be followed at night by a nSi.ing to be
addressed by both Bryan anu Sewall, both
of whom will positively attend the con-
vention.
1t has also been suggested that after
the closing of the convention on the Sec
ond day night parade be had, to be re-
viewed by the delegates. Active prepara-
tons have commenced in St. Louis in an
ticipation Of great gathering of club
delegates and others at the convention.
