We appeal to every newspaper in
the State that. has a sense of honesty
and fairness to lose sight of the few
dollars that may conmc to it through
those who love liquor; to forego the
imainary pleasure of holding up the

(The State, 24th.)
There is to be no unnecessary do
ay in the preliminaries to starting
he work upon the completion of the
tato capitol. The comimission ap
>ointed under the recent act of the
;eneral assembly to take the work
n hand and carry it through, acting
11 conjunction with the sinking fund
omlmissiel, is to got to work forth
vit h.
Yesterday Gov. MeSweeney, who
a chairman of both connissious, is.
med a call for a meeting of the State
Liouso commission to be hold tomor
row at 1I a. m. in the oxo
utive chamber. The commission ih
omposed of the Governor, the
Secretary of State, Senator Marshall
and Ropresentatives Gantt and Pat.
ton.
Several members of the sommis
sion, it is understood, have about do
termined to proceed regularly as thi
act directs, and seem to think that i
there is-any test of the legal quos
tions reconty raised about the sink
ing fund money, it is a matter be
tween the legislature and the bond
holders, and that it is not the provinct
of the board to carry the matter tc
the court; that the board should dc
as directed by its creator, and if any
question is to be raised, the bond
holders should raise it.
A careful investigation of the sink
ing fund's books shows that even if
the loaning of the money set aside
for the retirement of the bends and
stocks gets tied up in the courts,
there to in the hands of the sinking
fund commissioners about $25,000,
possibly more, that has no relation
whatever to th- security of the
bonds, and this can be loaned without
any question whatever and used to
carry on the work necessary to be
done during the remainder of this
year.
So it would seem that no mlatter
whIat turn the questions p)resented
might take in the courts, if any
bondholder is inclined to carry
them there, the work will go
ahead and at least a good begin
ninlg wvill have been made by the time
the general assembly meets neOxt
January.

One of llil\V1lwaikt'si iitroigest ar
gumonts wis the polik ical e1lTct which
the holdo g of the cotlvention in that
city would have upon the Germanl
Aierican voters, who wore IreseInt
ed to the coinmithco t:i. wavorini im
their alleganceo to the Ltpublicnl
party.
It Seemed to h Iokin for granted
by at loost two speakers that Bryan
would be renominated and that the
Chicago platform im substance would
be reafirmed.
Opposition to trusts, expansion and
imperialism, together with overy
mention of Bryan and the Chicago
platform, aroused enthusiasm, but
during the open session of the co-.
mittoo there was ro allusion to the
issue of free silver. Throe dates for
holding the conlvoution were pro
posod-May 9 by Mr. Townsend of
Oregon, June 14 by Senator Tillman
of South Carolina and July 1 by Mr.
McCraw of West Virginia. A pech
by nx-Sonator Gorman in favor of
holding to precedent and naming a
date later than that for the convent
tion of tihe party in r- wovr had coni
siderablo influence in causing inde
ponldence day to be cho9senf.
After the committee had selected
the "Gate City" of the West the
Kansas City booimors held a jolliica..
tion meeting in thleir rooms at the
Raleigh. Ex-Gov. Stone addressed
the gathering, predictin.g that those
who attended the convention w~ouIld
depart with praises upon their lips
for thoe hospitality they had1( received
andl( that the Ilnminoo of thoe convent
tion would be the victor at the p,olls
in November.
TVhe vote fixing the date of the con
vention was ini favor of July 4I, 27
votes; Juno 14, 2!. votes; May 9, .1
vote.
A speech wvhich hand a great deal
of influence in fixinig the date wvas
made by ex-Soniator Gorni. Hie
said that four years ago it mighat
have been wvell to held thie conven

-no0W posit ion, one wIhich (1rove many13
of the loaders out of the party or

some time to organize. Now there
was a good organization. The party
was ready and eqJuipped1 to miter
up~on the campaign. TIho party in
powoir should ho allowoed to held its
convention first and( the indictment
of that party could1( be mnade as it
