THE STATE CONVENTION.

Charlotte News.
Every true Democrat in North Car
DINA must feel thrill Of pride when
he reviews the State Convention,
which met yesterday in Greensboro
and concluded its laboIs early this
morning.
In most respects it was the best
convention North Carolina Democrats
ever held. There was not single
discordant note to mar perfect har-
mony; not single contest from pre-
cinct or county. The aspirants for
nomination were all good men and
true; the convention could have made
no mistakes. From these aspirants
were selected men who are a credit
not only to their party but to this
great common wealth; men the people
of the State delight to honor; men
who stand upon character and rec
ord that look not alone TO party feal-
| ty, but whom the disinterested, non
partizan citizen, with an eye single
to the good OF his State, and the pn-
rity Of its judiciary, may support
| with confidence.
Or the Supreme Court candidates,
the convention and the people may
be Justly proud. Justice Walter
Clark is man of whom ii may well
| be said that he possesses the love
| and the confidence Of the people to a
| wonderful degree. OF unimpeached
integrity as jurist, great in charac'
1 a n
gentleman and scholar, the inter
ests of the commonwealth, high and
| low alike, are safe in his hands.
Naturally Charlotte feels an espec
ial pride in one of the candidates fol
the Associate Jusliceship-Hon
Platt ID. Walker. He is universally
esteemed at home and abroad; Il mar
Of character and ability, who will
| adorn as the embodiment of truth
and Justice the position he is to fill
rejecting credit alike upon himsel
and the city that is proud to claim
| him as her own.
| When one Of Judge Connor'!
friends, in seconding his nomination
appealed to the West TO name maj
as near the equal OF Connor as they
could find the name of .'Walker'
rang throughout the hall. Reversing
the order it is high enough praise fol
Judge Conner here in Mecklsnburs
to say that he is in every way worth,
to sit with Platt ID. Walker on tn,
Supreme bench.
In the denomination of }. Y. Joyne
and the selection Of f. G. Bedding
field, the delegates displayed tn
same wisdom that characterized tn
other nominations. In short, tn
Democratic party and the entir'
State has reason to be proud of tn
convention Of 1902; the people shcul'
and will go the polls next Novembe
and roll up such majority as tn
excellence of the ticket placed befor

The fellow Cooke, who was hanged
at Greenville. Miss Tuesday, seems
to have been very much aggrieved
when he found that he had run mp
against the law SO hard and fast that
neither wealth nor influence could
save him. BY all accounts Cooke was
desperate who had no regard for
the rights of others. While on a
drunken spree he and his companions
wantonly killed an innocent man who
had given them no provocation what
ever, but who on the contrary was
doing his best to get out of the way
Cooke evidently expected that his
money and the influence of his fami-
ly would save his neck, and when he
found that he must pay the penalty
he died. like the dog be was. cursing
everything in sight. The only thing
that can be said in his favor is that
he did not follow the usual STYLE and
claim that he was going straight TO
Heaven. We have no pleasure in
any mans death but it is satisfac-
ton to know that the law still pre-
walls at times and that there are in
stances when neither money nor in
huence can overcome it.

for an early State convention. and II
is more than probable that the Kent

Saulsbury's call for an assemblage OF
the Democrats of the State at Dover
on July 20. Leading politicians Of
Kent and Sussex were making an ef-

WANT CONVENTION DATE CHANGED
Democratic County Committee Sees That
july Convention Wonld Be Illegal

The New Castle County Democratic
COMMITTEE. in special meeting here
yesterday afternoon. decided to ask the
state Committee of the party to fix
the State convention date for Septem-
Der. There is no doubt that the State
Committee win comply with the re-
quest.
The committee went carefully over
the primary election law and decided
that a legal election for delegates could
not be held for a convention called for
a date prior to September 13. The
three registration days in August viii
end on August iG, but the Republicans
have filed a claim for the books ON tho
following Saturday. and the Democrats
could not get the primary election
books before August 30, or perhaps
later.
