The Republican National convention
meets in Philadelphia next Wednes-
day.
Owing to the fact that that city is
not very far from North Carolina
nearer than any National convention
has been in many years-there will
be an unusually large number of PEG
pie in attendance upon it from this
State, very probably 100 or more.
It is certain that all the delegates
and alternates-42 in number-wili be
present. In addition to these there
will be many. men of all parties, who
are desirious of seeing a national con-
vention in session.
The delegates from this section and
east of here. will leave this afternoon
for Philadelphia, going over the South
ern Railway. via Greensboro. They
will be joined at different points along
the line by delegates from the west.
In Philadelphia their headquarters
will be at the Aldine Hotel.
The delegates appointed from North
Carolina are:
Boyd, L. c. Duncan and Charles Me-
Nance.
First district-D. III. Abbott and
Wheeler Martin.

(colored). and W. S. Hagans

and F. r. Harrison.

1t is certain that Mckinley will be
renominated for President The only
thing Of interest is that Hanna has
not yet picked out man for second
place.
The Asheville Gazette. at all times
as postmaster in the art of lying, has,
in its remarks concerning the recent
session of the Legislature, excelled all
of its previous efforts. That unre'
liable imprint saws
'Hours were given up to speeches"
by Ike Smith, a negro legislator, elect
ed by aid of Democratic money. This
creature made one address" before
the August House of Representatives
consuming two hours of its time. in
favor of "White Supremacy" He was
applauded By his Democratic assoc
ciates. an at the close of his speech
was warmly congratulated" Dem
ocrats shook his hand: Republicans
and Populists turned away in dis
gust"
Now the beauty about the above is
that there is not one single word of
truth i'm it-as men of all parties in
the Legislature will certify. 1t is
hard to conceive how more untrnths
could possibly have been packed in so
small an amount of space.
Tt is reproduced here simply for the
purpose of, showing how much lying
may be put in little space, if only one
is an expert at the business.
The Populists seem to be all at sea
about their campaign this summer
Tt is true that Senator Butler tells
the Washington Post that he is go
ing into a canvass of the State this
week to stay there till the election,
but so far as is now known he's the
only one that's doing any speaking
and further than his appointments
nothing seems TO be definite.
'When will the Populist campaign
in this State begin?' / asked Acting
Chairman Hal w. Aver.
81 am unable to say" he replied.
mo definite plans have yet been
formed. The candidates will likely
have conference here next week to
determine upon the course to be TAX
en-
rs there any probability of their
not making a campaign at all?"
Il don't see any use of it after the
Legislature. I mean they have made
capital enough for us to win on with
out our making canvass
Don't you think there's gust lit
tie danger of your going broke if yon
bank on that capital?"
II don't know what the others are
doing. my business is to organize the
counties and distribute literature, and
I'm simply attending to that
'sHave you got the counties pretty
we'll organized?'
Eyes. about as well as in 1895, |
