600 sledge hammers. The result is the

The Friends of Mr.. Henry A. London
Will Present Him.

Mr.. HENRY a. London. editor of the
Chhtham Record. is q candidate for
State Treasurer. This announcement il,
made upon the authority of a letter re-
ceived here yesterday by friend of Mr.
London who said
Mr.. London has been Induced to enter
the field because many friends. particlr-
larly among the editors, have urged him
to do SO. He has never before been n
candidate for office though he has BON
a leader and a worker since he attained
his majority For 26 years he was a
member of the State Democratic execu-
tive committee and was an active and
useful member. From 1872 to 1884 he
was the efficient chairman of the Demo-
cratic executive committee of the Fourth
Congressional district. In 1872 he was
presidential elector of the Fourth dis
trict and made a brilliant campaign OF
the district. He is q brilliant campaigner,
one of the best public speakers in the
State. and has never failed in his support
Of any Democratic nominee.
Mr. London was one of the early pres
idents of the North Carolina Press Assoc
citation, and drafted the constitution of
the recently organized constitution of the
Democratic Editorial Association OF
which he is chairman. He is an accurate
business man, capable, honest and fit,
and If nominated and elected would make
one of the best officers the State has
known"
Referring to Mr.. Lond0n's candidacy,
yesterdays Statesville Landmark says:
The Landmark is informed thar Mr..

SEVERAL NEW OFFICERS TO BE VOTE FOR
For These so Far no Candidates Have Appeared
Against the Present Incumbents, But
Labor Commissioner is a Candid
ate For State Treasurer.

The past week has been an interesting
and important one in politics.
The Populists have got down off the
Amendment fence and we all now EnOw
where we're at.
The last of the three State conventions
has been called.
In short the track has been laid off.
The ''get-ready" gong has been sounded
and it is now in order for candidates 10
cantcr out upon the course for 4 ">tow-
off, before the grand-stand and pre-.
liminary warming up.
Soon the race Will be on in dead earn
cst-for the Democratic party.
AS for the Populists and Republicans
the ant-conventon contest will be a very
tame affair. Candidates will simply
have to ''see" Butler. If he's for 'em
they're all right. for he will name the
Populist ticket and whatever the Popu-
lists name the Republicans will endorse
That's their agreement with Butler.
But in Democratic ranks things arc diff
ferent. The fellow who gets Il place on
the ticket needs first the endorsement
of the folks. Otherwise he stands no
more chance than pint of liquor in a
cowboy camp.
An this is why we may look for some
rare old sport between now and April
II, the convention day.
The convention this year will have
more places on the State ticket than
heretofore The last Legislature made
the Corporation Commissioners the
Labor Commissioners and the Commits
soner of Agriculture elective offices.
Heretofore the State Convention has
named seven candidates. This year it
viii name eleven-one for each Congress
Sional district. giving two places on the
State ticket to two districts
This puts me in mind to say that
geography will enter somewhat in the
nominating convention. for with eleven
places and nine districts it is not to be
supposed that any district will be back
ward about asking place on the State
ticket. and then which districts will get
the two extra places?
So far the entry books show the fol-
lowing persons entered for the race:
Governor-C. Il. Aycock. of Wayne;
