THE REFLECTOR Greenville. N. C. Editor at post office at K. m mail matter. Wednesday, July 1st, 1896. ASSEMBLY CANDIDA- Of late years a great deal is being 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.

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.

The Convention has put forward a strong ticket of true and tried men and will be no flinching or quailing in the hand to hand fight for the control our State affairs. 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 hand evil result from it we can grin and bear it.

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 tree coinage of silver by this country at the ratio of to There was no surprise in Washing. 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 said that secured that 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 with Why, it kept hi n in hot water nearly all the time he was Governor of Ohio, and he even went so far sometimes as to promise the same thing to two different men. In one such case, where both men had too much influence to be turned down, he bad to get the legislature to help him out at the expense of the State by making two positions at a where only one had existed, when he promised it to two men.
