A VIGIL.

Is this the dawn that slowly leaves
The shadowy bed so still and white,
And with it's cool, soft touch unweaves
The fevered fancies of the night?
Is this the dawn?-Oh! love, you lie
So calm beside the taper's beam,
As though it were not you and |
Who laughed together in my dream;
While DER the fiowery way abreast,
We slept along the springy lea,
Till outward to the closing west
Gold pathways led across the sea.
And all the purpling deeps of space,
And all ewes tender, softening SHINE
We're deeper, holier round your face,
Your face, my love, so close to mine
And 10! your eyes looked DER the bay
And shone so-two conflicting
CLEANS,
Loves dawn, and the last glance of day
Met in halo. Love, it seems
Only a dream; your floating hair
Beam-billowed, and a dream your
face,
Now morning takes us unaware,
And draws aside the shielding lace
Of night; and breathing early flowers,
Looks boldly on the placid lid,
And brightens all the unheeding show
erS
Of gold, wherein last night lay hid
Your hand upon my shoulder. Dear,
In thy long dream, sometimes, ere
night,
Bend DER me when the sky is clear,
And look against the western light!

LlNNEY FINDS A NEW ISSUE.
Says That Silver is Very Insignificant
Question.


WiIkesboro, n. c., July 10.-(Spe-
ciaD Republican Congressional
convention for the Eighth district was
held here Wednesday. In the absence
of Mr.. ID. c. Pierson, the chairman of
the executive committee. the conven-
ton was called to order by T. n ITali-
burton, of Burke, who called w. G..
Meadows ii. NJ. Brooks and c. Call 10
the platform TO act as temporary sec
retaries. Mr.. Halliburton was made
temporary chairman, and on motion it
was decided that the appointment of
committees be dispensed with.
The temporary organization was
then made permanent and on motion
the counties were called for nominal
tions for Congress. Mr.. Horshaw, of
Caldwell placed the name of the pre-
sent member, Hon. r. 4. Linney, of
Taylorsville. in nomination, T. Il.
Reynolds, of Forsyth, seconded the
nomination, the further calling of the
roll was then dispensed with, and on
motion the nomination was made by
reclamation.
The roll of counties was then called
for the purpose of nominating the ex-
ecutiye committee, and the following
named gentlemen were elected: Ashe,
j. g. Horden; Allegheny, c. c. Siam
per; Cleveland, W. J. Hogue; Caldwell,
j. NJ Isbell; Burke, L. A. Bristol;
Forsyth, T. f. Reynolds; CASTOR, L. L..
jenkins; Watauga, G, w. Robbins;
Wilkes, G. Call.
Mr.. Horshaw, Of Caldwell, was then
called upon to address the conyen-
ton, and after a few remarks by him
Mr.. Marshall was called upon, who
gave way to the nominee of the con-
vention, who, just then came in. Mr..
Halliburton in his remarks introduce
ing Mr.. Linney, stated that their stand
ard bearer had made reputation in
Congress, second only to that of Henry
Clay.
Mr.. Linney addressed ~he convention
for quite awhile and surprised the
natives by stating that the great over
shadowing issue in the present cam
paign was not the financial question
as we have all been taught to believe,
not the tariff which has been his par
tvs slogan for a quarter of a century,
but the question of the corruption of
the ballot box. That beside the ques-
ton OF q Tree DdJIOt anu d idiI COulIC
all other issues sank into insignifcance
and that it was of more Importance
than all the other issues before the
country combined. He also stated
that now in the Southland the prepon-
derance of brains was with the Repub-
lican party. In his long harangue, he
never touched upon the vital questions
of the day, the questions which at this
hour are agitating the American peo-
pie from sea to sea. In his closing re-
marks he predicted majority for Mr..
Russell and Mr.. Mckinley of $4,000 in
the State, and said he would be graft
fed to receive 5000 majority for him
self, but he also cautioned his party
not to be too over confident, and go to
sleep, but to work; that many battle
had been lost by over-confidence.
At the conclusion of his remarks
Mr.. c. Call was elected chairman OF
the executive committee, and jerry
Smith secretary. The convention
then adjourned. The Populists who
had called their convention for tins
place to-day decided to postpone till
after the State convention.
