Fowle was introducing Sen- pi Ransom, the orator of the day. In the introductory he said there were many men in North Carolina deeds of valor had won fame, but one whom he would presently name stood eminent among them all.

Mr. Carr replied very gracefully and in beautiful At o'clock the weather had cleared sufficiently for tho at the grand stand to begin. After several delightful, patriotic airs by tho Marine Band, chief marshal Carr introduced Mayor Ray who in well chosen words ex- tended the hospitality of the city to her many guests. Col. ton J. Green then read letters from President Harrison, ex-President Cleveland and Hon. Jefferson vis. There was hearty and loud cheering when tho two last names were mentioned. Gov. Fowle was next introduced and presented each of the four regiments of the State Guard with handsome silk flags. He then introduced Senator Matt W. Ransom, the orator of the day. Senator Ransom spoke for two hours his speech being regarded as the best of his life. At the con- of the speech there were loud calls for Senator Vance, who only made a few remarks, told a joke or two and said that he would speak at the fair grounds the next day. There were several military companies and the Cadets present, but the streets were so muddy as to prevent them coming out on parade. The Marino Band gave another open air concert about sunset which was much en- joyed. Rain set in again just after night which caused a postpone- of the fireworks until Friday night.

Pair Jan Brow, From oar regular Correspondent. D. President Harrison now has an opportunity to show how sincere was when he endorsed the civil vice law. In his hands has been placed a report of the civil commission the vie or the law by Republican by the collecting of money for the Mahone campaign fund. The Com- missioners say that their report is accompanied by evidence which leaves no doubt of the guilt of the parties, and that whether they shall be punished or not lies entirely with the President. It is that at least two of the will resign if the President refuses to order the prosecution of the guilty parties. What the will be is hard to say. But I don't see why President Harrison should hesitate a Laws, whether good or bad, are made to be en- forced. The new Commissioner of Pensions is up to snuff when it comes to gets ting around the Civil Service law. Here's a specimen the first or second day the commissioner was office he promoted a watchman to be Superintendent of the Pen- office building, this week the same man was transferred to a high grade clerkship a new man was made Superintendent. Wasn't that a slick way of making the watch- man a high priced clerk without submitting him to a civil service examination Is it any wonder that people here who are necessarily with such cases as tins should consider the whole civil vice business, as at present con- ducted, a farce T Mr. Baum has also developed another trait liar to Republican of looking out for their families. He has a new division in his office and appointed his son to be its chief at a salary of a year. Now that Secretary Proctor has resigned the presidency of his Marble Company, he will be able to devote his entire time to the War and to the laying of wires to succeed Senator Morrill.
