mm about platforms being straddles.
efforts are made to twist
language and endeavor to make it mean
something it never was intended
to platform of the last
Democratic National Convention as
truly meant the free coinage of silver
as it is necessary for an Instrument
to mean, but Mr. Cleveland put an en-
different construction upon it.
Therefore the eyes of the people in
North Carolina were turned to the
State Convention last week to sec what
its platform would say. To-day we
me it to our readers. We are glad to
say that it is no straddle upon any is-
sue. It is clear cut and has the right
ring about it. We dare say that it
will suit every honest lover of good gov-
in the State.
How about the candidates that have
been nominated this platform
First we have Cyrus K. Watson,
Winston, for Governor. He is an able,
successful lawyer. He has ever been a
bitter opponent of trusts in all shapes.
At all times from the beginning he
fought for silver and is now an
ate for free coinage at the ratio o
to He has never been an office
seeker. He is a man of the people.
Born poor he has made himself what he
is. He is a candidate of the. people and
ought to receive their united support
against Judge Russell.
Hon. IF. Mason, North-
county, was nominated for
Governor. There is not a
pure man in North Carolina to-day
than he. There is not a better man
No man Las more thoroughly the con-
of the people. He is pure at
home and in public life, and lives above
criticism.
The nominee for State is
D. F. Aycock, of Wayne county. He
is a farmer, born and reared to the toil
which comes to a life. He
has served his State in its legislative
halls and was ever true to the interest
of the people as a whole. He under-
stands the burdens of the agricultural
classes and is in full sympathy with
them. The remainder the ticket are
now filling the positions to which they
have been and their
by acclamation show an en-
which speaks tor itself. It
seems to us that this ticket must be
elected. We can't conceive how any
true citizen can fail to vote for these
men. It is said to be the strongest
ticket nominated in North Carolina
since 1876.
We call upon the good people of Pitt
to rally to support of these men and
commence at once to for their
election. They represent every
for which we are contending,
and it elected their entire
will be boldly for these issues. We
would suggest that a organization be
commenced at once and no effort re-
leased until this ticket is triumphantly
elected next
HERE'S A TICKET.
That Can Lead the Democracy to
Success.
notice that
there is some talk going around that
it is time the Democrats of were
naming a county ticket. If I may be
pardoned tor making some suggestions,
I will offer some names that if
would carry the district and
county to an overwhelming victory.
For Congress I would say give us
that staunch and fearless Democrat, J.
J. Laughinghouse, who can make a
brilliant canvass and poll more votes
than any man in the first
For Sheriff let hare the young
Democratic champion, O. W.
ton, of Greenville for Regis-
of Deeds the old Roman, D. C.
Moore, of Bethel; for Treasurer that
sterling young man who now fills the
office so acceptably, J. L. Little, of
Greenville; for the Senate that excel-
lent man. G. M. Mooring, of Carolina ;
tor Representatives two trusted friends
the people, W. R. Home, of Farm-
ville and Major Smith, of Swift Creek ;
for Coroner no better man could be
named than Dr. Thad Cox, of Con-
for Commissioners three solid
financiers whose hearts are fully alive
to the interests of all in both financial
and matters, J. R. Daven-
port, of G. T. Tyson, of
Deaver Dam, and J. L. Tucker, of
Swift Creek.
Nominate this ticket and success will
be sure to come to Zeb Vance's
Democracy, the glorious triumph
of a Democratic victory will be
fixed our the fear-
ravages Radicalism will be swept
from our load. T. T.
Important Matters at the
Session.
Mk. Km mi; gave you an ac.
count the introductory exercises of
the Teacher's Assembly a few days ago.
Doubtless it would be interesting to
many your readers to have a short
sketch of the entire meeting. The first
day of the session was devoted to
questions relating to the public
schools, such as The County Exam-
School Supervision, The Necessity
of Local Taxation for Public Schools,
and the Means of Securing Tax-
These questions were thoroughly dis-
cussed by prominent educators res-
passed favoring local taxation.
A resolution was also passed In refer-
to School Supervision, and a com-
appointed to draft a bill
and to the next Legislature.
The resolutions favored dividing the
State into School Districts of from two
to six with a man for all of his
time in charge of each district. At
the night session of day the
dent delivered his annual address on
in North Carolina since the
Civil
Thursday, the second day , tin r
was a brief address on the e duration o
the dent, and this was followed by
classes from the North Carolina-
for the deaf in charge of their
teachers. The various methods of
teaching the deaf were shewn, and were
a revelation to many, especially the
process of g them to utter
date and to combine
those sounds and thereby talk. It may
be of interest to some to state briefly
this process teaching them to utter
words distinctly. They are first taught
to make sounds by putting their hand
on the throat of the teacher, who utters
the sound and the child catches it from
feeling. This is repeated many times.
When the sound is not properly made,
the tongue is not in the
proper position, the teacher with some
kind of an instrument pushes it
in proper position while the child
is endeavoring to make the sound.
This is repeated until the sound is per-
After this the child learns to
make the sound by watching the mouth
of the teacher, and later to utter words
and repeat sentences in the same way.
It is wonderful how they ran thus be
taught. The classes before the
were composed of pupils who en-
school last tall and therefore
had only been instructed one session.
The other methods were interesting
but the above seemed most wonderful
to me.
Following this the question,
to Teach and How to
Teach was ably discussed by Profs.
Harrison and Hume, who fill
the chairs of English at Wake Forest,
and Chapel Hill respectively.
The night session ma profitably
spent in listening to an address on
Acropolis and Greek
by Dr. Staley, President of Elon Col-
At the morning session on Friday
Mr. C. W. Toms the graded school
at Durham discussed and
Training in the Public in a
manner that convinced his hearers that
it is a question worthy of their serious
consideration.
N. R. of the A. M.
College followed with an elegant pa-
per upon, Relation of Technical
Training to Intellectual
He has recently come into the state,
but has already impressed himself upon
the people as an important factor in
our educational interest.
Relation of Technical Train-
to Material was
by B. It. Lacy, Commissioner of
Labor Statistics, and D. A.
of the Manufacturing Com-
of Charlotte. They are practical
business men and treated the subject
along this line.
Following this Prof. Charles E.
Brewer, of Wake Forest College dis-
cussed Value of Science Study
for Material lie ex-
research and thought in his ad-
prepared paper.
Dr. Henry Louis Smith, Prof, of
Physics, Davidson College, gave a talk
on the subject;
forded by Science He is
the most cultured and ready man
the Assembly, and no man appears be-
fore it who is listened to with more in-
He does not read a paper
pared upon the question but discusses
it almost rotes. We would
commend him as an example for all
those who accept places on the pro-
gramme.
Unity of was to
have been discussed at night by Dr.
President of Trinity College.
He was absent and many
regrets were expressed that he could
not be heard upon this subject,
Miss Belle of Miss., who is
lecturer for the W. C. T. U. occupied
the evening and gave us one of best
talks mean I ever heard a
woman. The Assembly a
endorsing heartily her work.
Saturday was devoted to sight seeing
and an excursion to Vanderbilt's farm.
If I were to attempt a description of
his and its surroundings I should
tail to convey eve v faint conception
what it is. No artist or writer can
picture it upon paper. To know what
it is you must see it, and with this re
mark we must content ourselves for
present. Later we may some
faint glimpses of what it is or be
the loveliest on earth.
Most teachers are church going
people, in the congregation
the various were largely in-
creased on Sunday at both services.
Many of us were also present at the
Sunday School exercises.
On Monday morning the work the
Assembly was resumed, and probably
the most interesting of the
was listened to. It was interest-
on the one hand because it was
upon a subject that so many us
knew so little about and again because
so much clear, information was
given upon it. The subject was the
Photography, or the Roentgen
by Dr. Henry Louis
Smith. He said that these rays were
destined to used very largely by the
Medical profession, and illustrated
could be done with them by some things
he had done himself.
Dr. Kemp P. Battle, Prof, of
at the followed with ad-
paper upon

our State and National
Dr. J. S. Bassett, Prof, of History at
Trinity College, gave us a charming
paper on Life the Spirit in

was pleasingly presented
by Hugh of the Raleigh
Male Academy and W. S. Drewry of

The evening session was occupied by

All minor differences, petty rivalries
and personal efforts to promote the as-

to have been subordinated a
on the part of all to select the best and

Convention has put forward a strong

will be no flinching or quailing in the
hand to hand fight for the control

There was no organized effort made
to antagonize the free silver platform-
It is true there were firm believers in a
sound currency, but they knew that the
silver question has assumed such vast
proportions that it can never be
from American politics until it is
firmly established by a reversal of the
law of 1873, or crushed out by a test
vote of the people. The only way to
settle this burning question of the day
is to let its advocates have free coinage
of silver without any limitation. If it
will bring about relief prosperity,,
as zealous supporters claim it will do, all
will be If on the other

WASHINGTON
I From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, June 26th,
Little except the Chicago
is talked about by the politicians
of all who are now in Washing-
ton. All sorts of guesses are being
made as to what the convent ion will do,
but nobody pretends to be to do
more than guess. One seems
certain, if such Democrats as Senators
Harris, of Tenn., and Jones, of Ark.,
are in touch with the controlling
in the convention, as they are be-
to be. That is, that Senator
Teller will not be even seriously con.
in a candidate for the
nomination. Another thing
seems probable, if not quite certain, is
that the South will not furnish the can-
Senator Blackburn who has
been endorsed by the Kentucky Demo-
will, it is stated, declare his
of the compliment and then de-
the support offered, because of
his belief that it would be unwise to
nominate a southern man.
It is generally admitted by Demo-
that the fight in the Chicago con-
will probably be the bitterest
since the convention of but they
all hope that the result will not be so
and are all certain what-
ever the outcome that there will not be
two Democratic Presidential tickets in
the field this year. Ample time is to
be given for the delegates to fully con-
sider the platform and the ticket, with
the understanding that when action is
taken it shall be concurred in by the
minority. Notwithstanding the extra,
ordinary efforts which President
and his friends are making to
vent it, the general impression among
all classes of politicians is that the plat-
form will declare the Independent

ton when it was stated as i g
from Mr. Hobart himself th at his
nomination tor Vice-President was the
result of an understanding months be-
fore the convention with Mark Hanna,
but when Hobart's talk got back to
there was probably a few re-
marks made which could not be printed
in a family newspaper. One
can remarked when told what Hobart
had said that he thought Hanna might
at least have selected a man for second
place on the ticket who knew enough
to keep his mouth shut.
It looks like it may be ascertained
after a while just what it costs to make
armor plate for warships. During the
last session of Congress the Senate
Naval committee made a bluff at find-
out, but it made such a bad failure
that the House committee announced
its intention to try, and meanwhile
insisted upon inserting in the naval
bill a clause instructing the
Secretary of the Navy to make no more
contracts for armor plate until Congress
acted upon the matter- and also instruct-
him to have an investigation made
by naval officers. This week
Herbert appointed a board consist-
of Capt. W. T. Sampson, chief of
the Bureau of Ordinance ; Lt. Com-
N. E. Niles, and Lt. A. A.
to investigate and report to
Congress. The general belief is that
too much has been charged for the
plates by the only two concerns in the
country which have the plants to make
them.
said a man who served in
Congress with and who
knows him too well to vote for him,
Mark Manna is reported to have

nation without making any promises.
If Hanna said that he must have been
joking, for he must know that making
promises has always been a weakness

far sometimes as to promise the same

bad to get the legislature to help him
out at the expense of the State by
making two positions at a
