The News and Observer says,
Col. Harry Skinner is the most
gusty spell-binder and capacious
straddle in the whore zoo. lie
has long been noted as the
politician without any politics.
Col. Harry will need all his
spell binding and straddling and
ready willingness to believe
everything every voter in his
district believes before he gets
through with the present CAM
paign. He got his nomination
gagged through the Populist
convention but this is a year
when Populist conventions dc
not mean Populist votes every
time. The honest Populi>t of the
first will not support Skinner
The Populist who has pie will
perhaps; the Populist who wants
and expects pie may. But these
compose very small part OF
the voting strength. Col. Skin
ner has hitherto found it high
ly convenient not to be hamper
ed with any principles but wher
he comes up for the suffrage o
men who have principles, ane
wko have gotten line on thu

be awkward tor Colonel Harry.

JNO. Il. SMALL,

District in The
Next Congress.
CONVENTION HARMONIOUS.
The Largest Attendance
In Years.

The Democratic Congress
sional Convention OF the First
District met at Rea's Opera
House at Edenton, on Tuesday,
August goth, The convention
was the largest in many years,
every county being represented
and one of the most harmonious
we have ever attended. That
"grand old man" of Democracy,
Colonel Lucas, OF Hyde, was
elected chairman of the Conven-
ton and filled the position in
his usual graceful manner.
After the Committees were
appointed and the temporary
organization made permanent,
several very timely and forcl>
BILE speeches were made by Col.
Beasley, of Washington, and
Hon. w. M. Bond, of this city.
There being nothing for the
other committees to do, they
having been discharged, the
Committee On platform then
made their report endorsing the
Chicago and the State platform
of the Democratic party, and
made ringing plea for white
supremacy.
The report OF the Committee
On Platform was adopted unan>
imously.
Nominations being declared
in order, Mr.. Alternately, of
Beaufort, arose and in a few
we'll chosen words placed the
name of Col. Lucas before the
Convention, which was second,
ed. Col.Lueas arose and thanked
the Convention for the high
honor, but he would be com~
PEELED to ask that his name be
withdrawn, as it would be i'm
possible for him to make the
canvass.
Mr.. Alternately then placed
the name of John H. Small, OF
Beaufort county in nomination,
and Hon. w. D. Pruden, placed
in nomination Mr.. B. B. Win.
borne, of Hartford County.
Both names received many seq
onds and the vote was then ta>
ken, at the close of which Mr..
Pruden Withdrew the name of
Mr.. Winborne and Mr.. Jno. e.
Small was declared the nominee
Of the Democratic party of the
First district of North Carolina
to represent them in the next
Congress of the United Ststes.
Mr.. Small came forward and
made a short speech accepting
the nomination and promised tc
do all in his power to lead his
party to victory in the Novem.
Der election.
The nomination Of Mr.. Small
gives universal satisfaction to
Democrats of this section and
the coming political battles he
will lead an army of tried and
true veterans who will win sue.
