Harry Skinner was made permanent chairman. Here are a few ex‘racts from his eprecin < on taking the chair: “The politician who devises any scheme to split the electoral vote in Nerth Carolina and turn it oyer to Mc ] want to say to the Populist and Demo- cratic committees that if taey let the State go tor McKinley they should both be wiped oat. Some one asked me whiether we were going to take lown Tom Watson or Sewall. We are not going to take down either. Whether itis necessary to run Bryan and Sewall, or a joint ticket of Bryan and Watson it will be done. But the effect will be to lect Mr. Bryan President. If our cause means anvthing it means that. But whatever we do we must recog- nize the fact that the white man must rule in North Carolina. The time has not come for the negro to rule and guv- ern the white people of the State ‘and, he would even eadanger his own liber- ties.”’ Governor. the Col. showed fight: ard among other things said : ' If you are going to take the Repub-— licans, take the machine and net a rebel. We don’t want any of these Republicans. Kick em out. ; We et, and nobody who could not on the stump advocate the election of Bryan and Watsen. It seems there is a preconcerted plan to tuse with the Dockery wing: of , the Repubiican party, to instigate the di. vision ot the Republicans in order that the Democrats may be landed safely into power, and they have named . Oli- ver H.' Dockery, a man above all others that meant Republicanism in North Carolina. (Tnere were whistles: and hisses). I’ve got the right to command the attention ‘of this ‘conventid.. I voted for Weaver when Major Guthrie voted for Cleveland! This. is an at- tempt to divide the Republicans and give the Democrats victory. The del- egates were following the party-bags. You are tollowing the leader who is trying to deliver you t> the Democrats. Do you want to co-operate with the Denocrats? (No! No! No ) It you do, do it ina manly way. | Why should we vote for Oliver H. fire y? Is ‘there a mai who will speak tor, ‘| Dockery and say that he: will sapp Bryan and W autson?

Here is the letter: Park Hotel, Raleigh, N. C, hon. Geo. E. Hunt and Senator Westmoreland, Convention Hali, Ral- eigh, N.C.

Ramsey, of DeLeon, Texas, was a sufferer from Catarrh in its worst form, Truly, his description of his suffer. ings seem little short of marvelous. In- stead of seeking his couch, glad for the nights coming, he went to it with terror, realizing that anvther long, weary, wake- ful night and a struggle to breathe was before him. He could not sleep on either side for two years. P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, cured him in quick time. DE LEON, TEXAS. Messrs. LIPPMAN BROS., Savannah, Ga.

Quail and Prairie Chickens Are Growing Very Scarce. If Som: Steps-to: Replenish the Stock in This Country Are Not Taken They Will Soon Become Extinct — Gun Clubs Are to Blame. Western lovers of that “beautiful sport, hunting wild game birds, must be well satisfied with the vigilance of the Illinois game warden, Mr. Blow, aided by those gentlemen who hold sim- ilar positions in adjacent states. ergetic as their efforts are, however, it is to be feared they come too late to save the prairie chickens (pinnated grouse.) No measures, it is certain, can ever make them as plentiful on our prairies as they were a quarter of a century ago. Even if their slaughter were forbidden for a term ef years, the utingst vigilance on the part of Mr. Blow and bis assistants could not prevent the annual destruction ot large Lumbers.
