the State Convention-an approximate
convention of the fact that Western
North Carolina is a part of the State
and that it is inhabited, and OF the
further fact that this section has a few
Democrats as we'll will give a flavor
to its deliberations and render its
work palatable.
Being modest folks, we ask but little
| and have but few candidates.
AL we desire is that the convention
NAV so act that each delegate may
come home with no sore spots caused
bv what he deems Unjust treatment OF
his section in the selection Of candl-
dates. That he may come home feeling
that he was one of a body whose dellb-
erations no selfish or time-serving
spirit prompted; whose decision no
faction swayed, but whose every act
was guided by love Of State, and re-
gard for the fair fame, honor and glory
of North Carolina, and the welfare of
her citizens.
Should they each return knowing
this, then the party would be indeed
invincible.

A WORD TO THE STATE CONVEN.
TION.

XxON.
Upon the action of our State Conven-
ton next week depends in a large
measure the fate of the State for the
four years to come.
The people of the State the masses
who neither wish nor desire an Office
the voters whose only wish is an hon
est, clean, decent, economical admin
istration Of our State affairs, can look
only to the Democratic party of the
State for sue. administration.
If the State Convention, composed of
the rank and file of the party as it will
be-men who love North Carolina and
set her welfare above their chief good
if they shall act with wisdom and
moderation and with an eye single to
her goOG, then there can be no question
of the result of their deliberations and
of the ratification Of their acts by a
majority of the people of the State.
The ambition of no man or set of
men should be permitted to stand in
the way of wise action, and if it does
it should be swept aside like thistle
down, and the State be preserved.
This election will be no child's play,
and the campaign no school boys
frolic.
The result of the election will be no
small matter to the State,-on the con-
%-,~,r <la Jae<oxx Is %lo CA,A e.. -
next twenty years, the welfare of her
citizens, her material progress and ad-
vancement, as we'll as her civilization,
are all dependent upon the result Of
the August election.
Since the days of reconstruction.
when our people drank deep of the cup
ling lips by the hands of aliens and
slaves, no more important question has
been presented to us for solution than
the one which now confronts us-that
of Il suffrage amendment.
There is no doubt of the fact that
this is not SO popular with the masses
of our people in the western part of the
State as it is in the eastern portion of
the State.
Yet. nearly every leading Democrat
of the west is for it as they have always
been for everything which the east has
said was necessary for its protection.
We are for it to our own hurt. as we
we were for the county government
system to our own hurt, with never a
protest. a whimper or an objection.
What would a wise policy on the
part of the party. of the State, of the
convention. dictate?
What would a wise policy on the
part of the east have dictated under
these circumstances?
That the lines of battle where weak
est should be strengthened-that the
hands OF the willing workers of the
west should be made strong for the
fight.
Yet, what do we see?
The east, which precipitated this
fight which thrust this issue into the
forefront; the east. WI n declared that
its solution was necessary to its exist
ence and welfare and thereby induced
a no longer reluctant west to join hands

didate tor every office on the State
ticket.
We had hoped hat this amendment
questionable proper decision OF which
the folks down cas-. consider so vital to
their welfare and which is Of interest
to us only in so far as it effects them
would have been of such paramount
importance to them that they would,
by unanimous and common consent,
not only have sunk all their factional
fights among themselves, but that they
would, with a like common and mutual
consent, have been willing to have
some western man on the State ticket.
But what do we see?
With this question of such vital inn
portance to them trembling in the bal
ances, we have seen in counties like
Craven and New Hanover-counties
which have barely merged from negro
domination-petty factiona1 rows and
disturbances which at all times and
especially at such times as the present
are, to say no more, deeply to be de-
plored.
We see western counties, on the con-
trary, united and harmonious and
without dissenting voice in%structing
their delegates to vote for eastern men
for office, and one distinguished citizen
of the west who was a candidate, re-
firing from the ace in order to pre-
serve harmony in the party by giving
the choice Of the east a fair field.
If an eastern county has instructed
for any western man we will be glad
to have that county hamed-we failed
to note the fact if it did so.
It is true, one eastern man has re-
tired from the ace for Governor, but
in favor of another eastern man. And
since retiring he has decided to become
again a candidate and this time for
Lieutenant Governor, so that the east
may have both Governor and Lieuten-
ant Governor.
We had hoped that such petty offices
is Lieutenant Governor and Auditor
offices scarcely worth the having
might be left to the western part of the
State. We had hoped that their very
insignificance would be their protec-
ton, but as the days go by we find
new men coming like the wise men Of
old out Of the east and seeking not
stars but office.
We had hoped that when the demand
of the east for Senator and Governor
was unopposed by the west, that as
they were all of the important offices
to be filled except the office of Attorney
General, we might have the poor pleas
ure of naming western men for these
positions.
AS said above, we had hoped that
the fact hat they were scarcely worth
filling would have made the east gen
erous to us, would have entitled us to
fill them with western men.
But our hopes have beer shattered by
events of the past few weeks, and un-
less the men of the west demaud fair
representation and demand it in tones
the import of which cannot be misun-
derstood we will fail to get it.
If such claims are put forth BY the
east when their Anglo-Saxon civiliza-
ton and all that that means lies trem-
bling in the balances, what will thev
be when that has been safeguarded
and protected
If they make such demands on our
f~orbearance and patience now when
W. are fighting their battle, what will

A new international question has
been raised by recent antics OF the Rio
Grande river in changing its course
The river formerly flowed within a few
yards Of Fort Ringgold, Texas, but has
Iorsaken It's old channel and made
new one mile southeast, entirely in
Mexican territory. A treaty with
Mexico, made in 1884. provides that
the abandonment OF an existing bed by
the river and the formation of a new
one shall not effect a change OF the
boundary. But as Fort Ringgold de-
pended entirely on the Rio Grande for
It's water supply, and as the United
States requires military post there
the matter has been referred to the in
ternational boundary commission for
settlement.
