The people should not lose sight of
the important senatorial primaries to
be held. The plan is simple-to post
pone until after the August election all
consideration of the next United States
senator. 1t might complicatc and vex
if the rivalry was to break u while
the suffrage amendment was being
pressed and under the fire of its ne
mics. Candidates for the Legislature
should not be in any way embarrassed
by the aspirations and seekers of Unit
ed States senatorial honors. The
amendment is in Importance far above
all things else.

they emphasize the convictions Of the
best people in Buncombe county and

Il. That We denounce, condemn and
despise this effort to overthrow the will
of a majority of b voters Of this dis
trict and we denounce and condemn
the false, fraudulent and malicious
ISLANDERS made by said Pearson against
the people of the Ninth congressional
district in his notice Of contest and
brief, and We declare that Richmond
Pearson and his sympathizers. by hav-
ing made themselves the champions Of
a negro rapist and a thief and
perjuror, should be despised AMI scorn-
ed by every respectable citizen of this
district.
~. That we especially condemn and
denounce the effort to attach political
significance to the lynching Of the ne
gro Mosley for having made the most
brutal assault upon two respectable
ladies who were in their own
homes, in the absence OF their hus-
bands, when IL has been clearly shown
hat there were republicans, populists
and democrats in the lynching party.
%. That we convey to Hon. w. T.
Crawford our expressions of esteem
and regard and assure him that this
effort to cheat and defraud him only
makes his friends and followers more
resolute and determined to resent this
act of Injustice and mete out 10 his
traducers that which they so richly de-
serve"

There is a steady growth. we can
but believe, in a healthful public SEN
timent in all sections of the state fav>
orable to the success of the suffrage
amendment. In the west the indigna>
ton against Pearson and his pals and
the bad conduct of his party in the
house, is not confined altogether to the
democrats. There are honest. upright
men among republicans who repudiate
the action. A correspondent of the
News and Observer writing from Ashe-
vile, on 18th inst says:
1.-The indignation against Pearson
and the republicans over this action
knows no bounds and no party lines,
and is going to give the republicans
the 'black-eye' in the Ninth district. I
heard a lifelong republican say yester-
day: L have never voted the demo-
cratic ticket in my life, but l will vote
for Crawford this yea if it costs me
my arm. I believe in honest elections
and my neighbors agree with me in de-
nouncing the action of the committee
in favor of seating Pearson"

Down County Democrats
Think tie is the Man
for the Vacant
SenatOrSllip.

The Middletown New Era to-day
makes the following editorial COM
ment on sthe candidacy OF John
Biggs of this city Tor the vacant
senatorship:
There has been movement start
ed within the past few days, look
ing to the appointment of John
Biggs. Esq, to fill the vacancy now
existing in the United States Sen
ate from this State, in the event of
Ex-senator Quay being seated. I'M
petus has evidently been given to
this by the fact that it seems to be
generally conceded that Mr.. Quay
will be seated. We have agreed
with Governor Tunnel in the stand
taken by him, that no appointment
should be made for this State, un-
less the Senate reverses itself. and
goes contrary to it's precedents and
seats Mr.. Quay.
We understand that in the event
of this being done, Governor Tun-
nell viii make an appointment. If
HG iSSlS IL ihShhioShL oil iiui " III
the place, we are confident that he
can make no more fitting appoint
ment than the selection of John
Biggs, Esq. We have known Mr..
Biggs since his boyhood days, this
being his old home. His career
when he was appointed in 1885,
Deputy Attorney-General by the
late Judge Paynton, and after
wards as Attorney General, and
more recently as President of the
Constitutional Convention, has been
a most enviable one. Mr.. Biggs
has always, whenever he has been
called upon to discharge public
trust done 50 with eminent ability;
with the strictest integrity and with
untiring energy. He is good
party man, and has always voted
ard stood for the ticket as his party
has made itout He has always TAX
en- an active interest in the welfare
of his party, and ever been ready to
do the work that his fellow Demo-
Gratis called on him to perform. We
believe his appointment would do
more to unite all differences in the
party, and bring victory to lis next
November than any other appoint
ment that can be made. His ap-
pointment would certainly be very
gratifying to his old and many
friends in st. Georges hundred and
we believe throughout the State.

MILE FIJI.
"Fifi" comes to the Opera House
tonight. The success of this Gallo
comedy in New York resulted in an
enormous and fashionable attend
ance, with lis nightly theatre and
box parties, and there were a few
occasions when the crush was even
so great as to relegate the orches-
ira to the wings, their accustomed
places being filled with extra chairs
1t was Eff here and "Fiti' there

GRACE AND
HER PASTOR.

The Manner of Selecting
Them Layman Cowgirl
Does Not Thinks
Beneficial to
the Church. ~

Grace Church and the manner OF
selecting its pastors forms the SUBJ
ject of an interesting communications
from the pen of Albert Cowgirl OF
No. S45 Tatnall street. which ap-
pears in this weeks issue of the
Peninsula Methodist. Mr.. Cow
gill says that the custom of gong
outside of Wilmington to select pas
tors for this church is detrimental
to the advancement Of spiritual
work among the members. of that
church. Following is an abstract
OF Mr.. Cowgill's communication; .
"The most potent cause why this
church does not lead the conference
potentially as she ought, is the
method of calling all her ministers
from other conferences. One of the
most useful and beloved members of
Grace Church today is the widow OF
the only member OF Wilmington
Conference called for one year in
her pulpit. These transferred min-
listers come to the church with the
expectation of leaving us as quick!
ly as their term expires, conse-
quently they come with without any
knowledge of the needs OF the cons
ference work, andha no acquaint-
anccship with her ministry, laity
or population on the territory. and
no sympathetic touch with their
struggles for the right and never
acquire it, because they expect to
leave for another field of labor con-
tracted for term only, wherever
they go. from State to State. The
list Of the appointments of some Of
them will fiji il long space in a news
paper. Such a church in such a
city. etc.
"Owing to this cause alone Grace
Church, as factor in the direction
of the religious, educational and
moral movements. OF the Methodist
forces on our territory does not oc-
cupy the position that her grand
organization justly entities her to.
Wesley Church in Dover, has never
in its history for sixty years | know
ever had a minister transferred to
its pulpit, and yet in. average in
tclligencc. social rank and wide
spread State and national influence
is second to no church II Whining
Ton or elsewhere On our Peninsula.
and yet to her pulpit every young
preacher may hope to aspire. This
fact acts as a stimulus to our
youth.
"But to get to Grace Church he
would have to go out of the confer
encc and be transferred back with
Initials to his name. 1t is worthy
OF very careful thought, whether we
are living up to our opportunities
for increased usefulness in this mat
ter-as opportunity is rcsponsi-
bilitv-a talent.
"Finally want it distinctly un-
dcrstood that it is against this sW-
tenn of rushin" these very able
ministers of tho Lord Jesus Christ
from conference to conference |
wrote the above. and with no re-
Hectlon upon any OF these Cody
men who only fill certain chosen
churches in each, and thus con-
tracing their influence for good
within the limits oftheir single tenn
porary charge, and that, largely,
is lost permanently and prevents
these magnificent bodies of wealthy
and cultured organizations from
their true, natural leadership. At
least this has been the effect upon
Grace Church and its pastors and
upon the Wilmington Conference.
