KEEP IN LINE.

We understand that some of those
who are dissatisfied with the coun-
ty Democratic convention which
was held in this city to nominate a
candidate for Representative have
called a meeting to be held next
Monday for the purpose of select
ing an independent candidate. A
few weeks ago The Commercial
published a statement coming from
Dr. Matlock's friends to the effect
that he had about declined to make
the race. We learn that this is not
altogether true; that the Doctor has
not yet altogether abandoned the
idea. We did not aim to misrepre-
sent DR.. Matlock, but the intelli-
gence came from some of his close
friends. OF course this paper, like
IT believes all good Democrats
should do, will stand by the nomi-
nees of the party. 1t is incompre-
hensible to us how any Democrat
can reconcile the difference be-
tween party organization and abso-
lutte efforts to destroy it; how he
can oppose it and feel the same
spirit of loyalty to its doctrines,
the same pride in the old-time dec
larations winch made it essentially
a party of the South.
As far as conventions are con-
cerned everybody knows who has
participated in them how they are
conducted. 1t is proper to say that
they are all of the same char
acter. The party IN the lead con-
trols--it makes no difference what
faction 1t is, and 1t has always been
so as far as we can remember. The
feeling existing that if we can't
win with the organization we will
win without it does not appear to
our sense of right, and we believe
if every good Democrat will lay
aside his prejudices and give the
matter his calm judgment these
ideas will be altogether abandoned.
Gentlemen, you may have to wait
awhile to get what you think you
should have, but tor the sake of the
party and its future existence,
wait and fight inside the lines.

Weird Ghost Story.

Talking to strange experiences,
Mr.. Stephen Phillips has been OBJ
liged to leave his charming house
in Egham, near Windsor, to which
he had recently gone in search OF
peace and quiet on account of the
disturbance that he experienced
through ghostly visitants. The
uncanniest noises conceivable Wis
tied us directly we arrived" said
the poet and dramatist. There
were knockings and rappings and
footballs. Doors banged and were
opened.
q would be sitting quietly in
my study writing when the dOrI
would open noiselessly. That was
more than a man in the dead OF
night could endure. All the house.
hold heard sounds and experience
ed sensations.
Finally his little daughter told
him that she had seen a small old
man creeping about the house. No
such person was TO be found, but
he afterward discovered that, &C
cording to another report, al old
farmer strangled a child so year
before close to the house. So pre-
cipitately did Mr.. Phillips and his
family leave the house that they
did not even stay to take away
their things.
