and it is going to be one of the great
est conventions in the history Of
America The public interest in its
outcome is at fever heat because no.
body can predict the outcome. All
that is known is that it Will be nc
cut-and-dried affair.
Some of the delegates will be ac-
companed by members of their fam
lily. Mr. Nathan OBerry, of Colds.
boro, will take his wife. daughter and
SON Congressman Webb will be ac-
companied by his wife. Miss Belle and
Ethel Bagley will go with Mr.. Jose
plus Daniels. Delegate A. w, Mclean
will take his wife with him, and Del
egate =. i. Johnson, of ReidsVille.

ty. There are four editors in the

tor Daniels, of Wilson and other

Tickets to the Convention.
In view of the large attendance
from North Carolina and the many
requests for tickets to the conVen
ton hall, the delegation from the
State will be taxed to accommodate
all who will attend, but they intend
to do everything in their power tt
admit ell visitors from North Caro-
lima. The subcommittee of the Ma
tionaI committee has agreed with the
st. Louis committee upon a diStri-
button of tickets that allows to each
delegate only three tickets in addi~
tiCn to his own, and only ten tickets
to members of the National commit
tee. This will give North Carolina
only about one hundred admissions
unless the tentative arrangement
agreed upon is broken. Heretofore
the delegats have each had at least
five tickets and several members of
the National committee at the meet
ing on Monday will fight to break ur
the small allotment of tickets TO dele
gates which the subcommittee will
recommend.
Who VIII North Carolina Vote For?
All talk Of who will get the support
Of North Carolina is premature. Few
of the delegates have committed
Smith, of Raleigh, q strong Parker
man, feels confident that the State
will vote for the New York jurist.
The AsheVille Citizen quotes Delegate
J. p. Sawyer, who has long been IAN
admircr and supporter of Mr.. Cleve-
land as saying: With the present
lights before ME | shall vote for
Parker" He added that ne did not
suppose CleVeland'S name would even
go before the convention"
The Asheville Citizen quotes Dele
gate-at-Iarge Locke Craig as saying,
with reference to the suggestion of
Cleveland's nomination:
There is not the slightest proba-
bility Of Cleveland's nomination.
When Mr. Cooper a delegate from
Cumberland county, mentioned Cleve-
AS possible nominee the conven-
ton responded with a storm of indig
nant noes. That voiced the Demo
cratic sentiment Of North Carolina
81 am against Cleveland forever
"The nomination of Cleveland
would mean the disruption of the
Democratic party in the South and
in the North also in my opinion |
do not know for whom / shall vote.
| ic
q good Democrat"
One of the delegates from Eastern
North Carolina. in a private letter to
a friend, writes: II see that some
body is talking about Cleveland's get
ting votes from North Carolina. None
of 1t in mine. please. | can't stand
for it.'S
The delegation from North Caro-
lima will probably view the land
thoroughly before deciding for whom
70 vote. One thing is certain The
uninstructed delegates will be sure
to receive a hearty welcome from the
friends of the various candidates.
They are sure to have plenty of COM
pany at the Hotel Stratford and 10
hear of the availability and weak
points of all the candidates. SO that
when they come to vote they will be
in the position of having had their
votes earnestly sought after. And
what is better theslelegation VIII have
as their highest aim the nomination
OF true Democrat, upon whom the
party can unite and under whose
leadership the National Democracy
Will win in November
Twenty-three delegates have writ
ten or wired to Mr.. Ed. Chambers
Smith that they wish to go on the
special Pullman or Pullmans leaving
Goldsboro at 1870 o'clock D. m, on
Saturday. 1t is necessary that all
delegates, alternates or Democrats
