Spicy Resolutions.

The following is a pnrt OF
the resolutions adopted by|
the anti-Blackburn Conven-
tion at it's "June meetin'" in
Tavlorsville:
mo intelligent Republican
in the Eighth can actively
support n candidate not a
citizen of the district. The
late lamented Mckinley was
once urged to appoint Hon.
Thos. Settle to a Federal
judgeship in the Eastern dis
trict of North Carolina. Mr..
Settle had done more for the
Republican party in the State
than anyone else. He was EN-
inently qualified for any posi-
ton in the Federal judiciary.
He had not only met in hon.
0rable debate the most learn
ed and aggressive Democrat
ia orators on the stump and
defeated them in four success.
sive campaigns, but as n law
yer he had few equals in the
State. All this and more was
said to Mr.. Mckinley in ad-
yocacy OF MIR. Settles ap
pointment. The President re-
piled: All that has been said
of Mr.. Settle | have nodoubt
is true, but there is one OBJ
lection to Mr.. Settles ap
pointment that cannot be
answered. a He is not a citizen
OF rhe district in which his ap
pointment is asked. Such al
appointment in Ohio would
produce q little war there,
The Eighth Congressional dis
trict perhaps possesses more
general intelligence than any
other district in the State,
There are perhaps a thous-
and republicans in it as intel
ligent and patriotic as MIR.
Blackburn. The intelligence
OF the Republican party sick
ems at the idea Of electing a
nonresident. as did the mind
OF President Mckinley when
called upon to face such a
proposition. No intelligent
citizen OF the district c q n
vote for a nonresident with.
out feeling keenIy a sense ol
humillat and shame. to saw
nothing Of it's questionable
validity. 1t looks very much
like appointing a guardian
for the Republicans OF the
district. A congressmannot
a citizen Of the district he re-
presents cannot vote in il
nor feel any interest in itf

WASHINGTON LETTER,
From our Regular Correspondent.

From our Reg ular Correspondent.
Senator German has been
here this week in close com
munion with sey yeral other
Congressman who have gath
cred at the party rendezvous
at the Riggs. They general
ly agree that the Democratic
candidate, whoever he is will
make great inroads in the
East, probably carrying New
York Connecticut, and New
Jersey. But they do not con-
ceal the fact that they are
very anxious about the mid
die West, Whether Indiana
or Illinois is likley to be the
more fruitful field OF effort,
they are unceI tain. II the Ia
Dor vote can be SWING to,the
Democratic candidates, as il
Twas in 1892 there will be q
big Democratic majority in
Chicago, which the Republi-
canism of the rural districts
cannot overcome. To this
end it might be desirable to

Elkin Times.
Twenty years ago there
was a young man, the son OF
a widow, living IN Yadkin
county, who was struggling
courageously against a d :
verse circumstances to OBJ.
tain an education. He was
not born in I he lap Of luxury
and wealth and consequent
ly he had nothing to rely up
un but his own indomitable
de termination To win. Helper
haps did not realize then but
does now, that his thirst for
learning backed by his irwin.
chile will-power was OF ia r
greater value to him t b a n

Money at this time in his
life would have dwaried his
energies by preventing that
vigorous exercise OF t b m
which is absolutely necessary
to their strong and healthy
development.
About twenty years ago
he ente the Peabody
School at Nashville, Tenn,
After completing the course
there and teaching a year or
two he entered the State uni.
versity at Chapel Hill.
After graduating from the
University and again teach
ling for q few years he went to
Harvard University where
he took special courses. At
the end OF bis first years
work he was made a tutor in
college. While performing
his duties as tutor he ccntin
ued to take special courses
until two years ago when he
WIS chosen to a professorship
in the oldest and greatest col

TRUTH ABOUT PARxER's NOMINATION

To the Editor Of Tho Tribune
SIR: As the leading Republican paper Of the na-
ton I address you this note. 1 think you
have made mistake We are delighted with
the idea OF a clean campaign, il we can have it,
and at the same time have all the facts which
should be given TO the people Nothing can be-
more clearly demonstrated than that fraud. decep-
ton and trickery characterized Mr.. Parker's nom
ination. and that in it he played important
part, and vet the Republican press has allowed tho
Democrats 70 plant the idea in the minds Of the
people that Mr.. Parker has shown himself 10 be a
great man, statesman, gold standard champion
and a hero. The people ought 70 know that in all
this there is not any only little truth. The best
document that could be circulated among the peO-
pie would be the inside history OF that convention
and It's counterpart, what going on at the same
time at Esopus. BY collUsion between Esopus and
St Louis Parker was unanimously nominated;
Hills masterpiece trick played and the Republican
press allows the fraud TO stand for the sake OF a
clean campaign. II. II. MOORE.
