The neatest gathering of the unter-rilied
Democracy the old North stale
has ever seen was that which assem-bled
here in state convention yesterday.
The faithful began corning Tuesday
and they kept coming on every train
right ii)i to the convention hour.
And Buch a gathering. Pine bodies
of met) have been seen here and else-where
in convention before, hut no
gathering of the kind ever compared
with this.
In order to give our readers the ear-liest
possible information concerning
the convention we have held our paper
back a day, believing that they would
prefer a synopsis of the proceedings,
i without embellishment, rather than
wait a week for a fuller report.
The convention was called to order
| promptly at 12 o'clock yesterday by
Chairman F. M. Simmons. Rev. Dr.
Law, of Lumber Bridge, offered up a
fervent prayer in behalf of the assem-blage,
after which the call was reail by
Secretary I'carsall.
<in roll call every county in the state
with the exception of Mitchell was
found to be represented.
Major Stedmau. ill behalf of the De-mocracy
of the city and county deliv-ered
an address of welcome that was
one of the most beautiful word struc-tures
ever planned. Mis natural Lime
and eloquence were never displayed to
better advantage.
Chairman Simmons in his acknowl-edgement
made an appropriate speech
in his best vein. Continuing he took
up the issues that confront the party
and handled them in a masterly man-ner.
He could not have said more or
.less. At the close of his speech he in-troduced
Mr. A. M. Scales, of this city,
as temporary chairman.
Mr. Scales made aline impression
on the convention by the speech he
made on assuming the chair, li was
a graceful highininded effort, well
worthy of Guilford's leader.
The appointment of committees
followed." To give them in detail
would overtax our available space at
present and they are deferred. They
comprise the committee on ('redt ntials,
Permanent Organization, Platform and
Resolutions, Rules, and the Stale Ex-ecutive
< "ommittee.
Whereupon the convention adjourn-ed
to 8.30 1'. M.
The convention was called to ortlei
again at 3.35 by Temporary Chairman
Scales, who called for tin report of the
committee on credential!*. Chairman
Hackett, of that committee, soon re-ported
that all the counties in the state
were represented, with the exception
of Mitchell, and thai there were no
contests, lie further re|M>rted that
three counties were entitled to one or
two more votes in the convention than
the primed list- showed, making in all
1,248. Will', Mitchell absent 1,34")
voies wen- represented.
The committee on permanent organ-ization,
through Chairman Busliee,
named lion. W. I>. Turner for pinna- |
nent chairman, K. It. Aiendell secre-tary,
with Waller Murphy anil Geo.
I'. Veil assistants.
Mr. Turner on assuming the chair
made a brief speech and theCOUveiltioll
promptly settled down to business.
The committee on rules recommend-ed
that the rules of the la-t legislature
govern the convention.
Nominations for Chief Justice were
called for, with the provision that they
should be limited to ten minutes each.
Hon. Claude Kitchill, of Halifax, pre-sented
the name of Judge WalterClark
ina highly eulogistic speech. Mr N.
I'.. ISroughtoii. of Wake, seconded the
nomination. No other name was pro-
I ii isei I.
It was suggested that the roll call be
dispensed with, but objection was
made by Kd. S. Abcll, who insisted
that the vote be recorded. During the i
progress of the vote it was stated try
some one that Judge Justice was not a j
candidate for Chief Justice and that
anyone instructed to vote for him was
free to vote lor Judge ('lark or anyone
else.
When the vote was announced it |
was found that 1111 votes had been
east for Clark. The remainder were
scattering, with the exception of forty,
w hieh were not cast for anyone.
When the nominations for eastern
Associate Justice was called Mr. V. C.

tion Judge Henry O. Conner. Second-ing
speeches were made by Messrs.
Ellington, of Johnson, and Pell, of
Ashe.
Mr. Kd. S. Abell, of Johnson, nomi-nated

The vote as cast was as follows:

A motion by a Brown delegate to
make the nomination unanimous went
through with a whoop.
After a recess for supper the eonven- ■
tion met at 8.30 and proceeded at once
with nominations for western Asso-ciate
Justice.

more.
The convention was noisy and de-monstrative,
and as the night wore
aw ay showed less and less inclination
to listen to long speeches. It was
clearly demonstrated that slate con-ventions
should cover a period of two
days.
At 1.10 this morning the convention
adjourned, after adopting resolutions
thanking the city for the hospitality
and courtesies extended, and the pre-siding
officer and secretaries for the ex-cellent
manner in which they per-formed
their duties.
Comment must be made on the char-acter
of the speeches heard in the con-vention.
They were without exception
of the highest order and reflected credit
not only on the men who delivered
them, but on the party as well.
The Proximity band added much to
the pleasure of the convention.
It was a great gathering and Greens- i that.
