The Brunswick County Democratic
Convention met yesterday and instruct
ed for Clark for Chief Justice and
Brown and Conner for Associate Jus
tees. Brunswick has done for Clark
what nearly every county in the State
has done so far. The people who OPP
pose Judge Clark are comparatively few
and most of those who are taking the
lead in the fight against him have spe-
cial grievances. But the great, thinking
majority are for Clark. His popularity
is not confined to any one section or to
any particular class. 1t extends through
out the confines of the State and all the
pressure that two certain prominent
daily papers can bring to bear is not
enough tot turn the tide. The people
who are looking to the States best in
terests want Clark for Chief Justice,
and this is plainly seen by the amost
unbroken choice of the county conven-
lions that have instructed up to this
time.-Wilmingto Dispatch.

spite Of herself. on the European terri
tory of the empire.
Ivan Ogareff might have said that
word. He did not say it. Wassili Fec
dor withdrew heartbroken. After that
Interview his last hope was destroyed.
During the two following days tes
grand duke several times asked for
the pretended Michael Strogoff and had
him repeat all that he had heard In the
imperial cabinet of the New palace.
Ivan Ogareff, prepared for all those
questions, answered without ever hesi-
tating. He did not conceal designedly
that the government of the car had
been altogether taken by surprise by
the invasion; that the rising had been
prepared with the greatest secrecy;
that the'Tartars were already masters
of the line of the Obi when the news
reached Moscow, and finally that moth
ing was ready in the Russian provinces
to throw into Siberia troops, sufficient
to repel the invaders.
Afterward Ivan Ogareff, entirely
free In his movements, began to study

to make use of those observations If
any circumstance should prevent the
consummation of his treason. He de-

Ivan Ogareff.
The Lieutenant of Feofar-Khan had
wished that all attempts to carry the
town by sheer force should be suspend

the artillery was absolutely silent. Per

II Irkutsk had not been attacked at
points distant from the Bolchaia gate
and along the right bank of the river
that incident would have sufficed to
draw the chief body of the defenders
to the place where Ivan Ogareff wish
ed precisely to bring them 1t would
cause at the same time a most terrible
catastrophe.
All the chances were then that the
gate, being free at the hour fixed, would
be given up to the thousands of Tar
tars who were waiting under the thick
cover of the forest on the east. During
that day the garrison and population of
lrKutsk were constantly on the alert.
All the measures which were required
10 repel an attack on points never be-
lore threatened were taken.
The grand duke and General Voran-
ION visited the various posts which had
been strengthened by their orders. The
picked corps Of Wassili Feodor occu-
pied the north Of the town, but with
the injunction to march at once to
where the danger should be most press
ing. The right bank of the Angara was
protected by the only artillery a their
disposal
with these measures taken in time.
thanks to the opportune recommends
lions Of Ivan Ogareff, there was eyery
reason to hope that the prepared attack
would not succeed. In that case the
Tartars, discouraged for the time. with
out doubt would defer for a few days
any new attack against the town. Be-
sioes' the troops expected by the grand
duke might arrive any hour. The safe
ty or the loss of Irkutsk hung on a
thread.
On that day the sun, which had risen
at twenty minutes past 6, had set at
o:4o. Twilight would still have to strug
gle with night for two hours. Then
space would be filled with thick dark

But Ivan Ogareff did not regret that
circumstance although it appeared ID

the traitor knew well that the Tartars
were not seeking to cross the Angara
and that at least on that side the at
tempt would only be a feint. Never

ers at the moment when he should de-

moment it would be indispensable that
the attention Of the besieged should be
drawn to another point Of the city;
hence diversion agreed upon with the
emir. That diversion had to take place
along the suburbs of Irkutsk, up and
down the right bank Of the river
The attack on those two points would
be made very earnestly and at the same

The fifth day of October had come.
Before twenty-four hours the capital Of
eastern Siberia ought to be in the hands
of. the emir and the grand duke In the
power Of Ivan Ogareff. During all that
day an unusual movement was taking
place in the camp Of the Angara. From
the windows Of the palace and from the
houses Of the right bank one could see
distinctly that important preparations
were being made on the opposite
heights.
Numerous Tartar detachments were
seen moving toward the camp and thus
hourly reinforcing the troops Of the
emir. This was the preparation for
the diversion which had been agreed
upon, and it was being made in the
most ostentatious manner. Moreover.
Ivan Ogareff did not conceal from the
grand duke that some attack was to be
feared on that side. He knew, he said,
that an assault would be made at the
two extremities of the town along the
river, and he counseled the grand duke
to reinforce those two points more d.
rectly menaced.
The preparations that had been no.
ticed, coming to the support of Ivan
Ogareff's recommendations, 1t was nee
essary to take some account of them.
Thus after a council of war which was
held at the palace orders were given to
concentrate the defense on the right
bank Of the Angara and at the two ex-
tremities of the town, where the forti.
fed terraces rested on the river.
This was precisely what Ivan Oga-
ref wished. He evidently did not reck-
on that the Bolchaia gate would re-
main without defenders, but they would
be there only in small number. Be-
sides, Ivan Ogarefr was about to give
to the diversion such Importance that
the grand duke would be obliged to op-
pose 1t with all his disposable forces

however, that goods that have been SOLD
during che past six months, and left
lying in the sellers warehouses, are now
being called for, and are no doubt going

The reluctance of spectators and
