of a letter. received by gentleman in this city
from friend in North Carolina, dated Trenton,
NJ c., March 80, 1914, which gives information
of the game intended to be played upon the peo-
pie of "the old North State" We publish i
that the people may be forewarned and therefore
forearmed, against the falsehoods frauds, and
tricks designed to be played off and practiced
upon them. The writer says:
ave shall have very warm contest in this
section during the campaign that is now just upon
the eve of being opened Our opponents are ex-
ertlng themselves to the utmost OF their ability
to change the political complexion of North Caro-
lima. This, | have been informed, is an object
very near to their hearts, and it is to be accom-
plshed in great degree by the agency of plan
which has been concocted by the Locofoco men,
bers of Congress. One of the features of the
plan Qor knowledge of which | am indebted to
a private letter from member of Congress to
political friend in this county, which mere ac
cdent enabled me to see,) is to flood the whole
State with l4ocofoco documents of the most abu-
sve and scurrlous character, filled with the most
absurd and ridiculous falsehoods, for the avo,, cd
purpose of bringing into dsrepute the Wing
party, and the members of Congress belonging to
that party, by declaring that the members OF that
party are wanting in patrlotism-poss assessed OF

Oregon to that Government, and thousand other
such preposterous and contemplate stories These
are to be transmitted from Washington by some
members Of Congress to one OF the most proml-
nent as well as intelligent and influential men,
Der of the Locofoco party in every county in the
State, accompanying which is to be frank for
every document, so that this county receiver or
distributor will be enabled to direct them to each
and every Wing living i'll the county, or las he
will be we'll acquainted) to such as he may think
possessed of gulbty and vascation enough to
cause them to receive for gospel truth what these
| poisonous instruments contain, and renouncing
their present notions of men and measures, to be-
| come the willing disciples of Locofocoism.
"Ths part of their project they have already
began to put into execution. The mail recently
brought under the frank of -- bundle con-
tanning, as | understood, to an influential Loco
foco (ndeed had better say 10 the leader Of that
party in this county, over five hundred separate
documents which he, the recipient, has been dill
gently distributing among the Wings throughout
the county. These were mostly DR.. Duncan's
speech upon the resolution to alter the present
mode of electng the President and Vice Presi-
dent Of the United States, number of Globes,
and various other things of like nature"

the character, or incident in the history of Martin
| Van Ban Buren,, which would inspire a senti-

| hearts Of the people.
The above remark of the Philadelphia Forum,
| reminds US of conversation between Wing and
Locofoco few days since. The Loco petulant-
ly remarked that the Wing principles consisted

replied, that the principles of Locofocoism were
SO dscordant that they could not be set to music
WING STANDARD.-The Washington Wing
Standard weekly comes to us enlarged and
otherwise greatly improved in its typographical
appearance. We know Of no paper more de-
serving of the patronage of the party than the
Wing Standard 1t is conducted with great
spirit and ability. (Ken) Eagle.
We have drawn freely upon the columns of
the Washington city Wing Standard, paper
that we never take up without finding something
in it worth preserving. 1t is one Of the best po-
litical papers published, and the way it lays bare
the rascalities of the Locofoco majority in Con-
gress is a caution 10 all Locofoco sinners. 1t
literally fays them every day.-Lancaster (Pa.)
Sentinel.
Thank YOU for the compliment, brothers, and
coming, as it does, from such valuable auxiliaries
TO the Wing cause, we feel gratified that we do
not g labor in vain" We can but pledge our
selves to pursue the course we have marked out
to the end, without fear, favor, or affection. Ii
we are fortunate enough to lay before our breth-
rem OF press anything they may esteem Of value,
we cordially request them to "help themselves"
MAY CONVENTION
The New York Tribune says:
An arrangement has been made here by which
a staunch and safe steamboat will leave this city
on the 29th April for Baltimore, taking 400 pas
sengers round, boarding and lodging them during
the entire passage and while at Baltimore, and
returning them at cost of $40 for the whole
trip. This is much cheaper than the journey can
be made in any way, and if the weather be fair,
will be peasanter also. The boat is to reach
Baltimore on Wednesday morning. Those who
wish to secure berths by this conveyance should
write to some friend in this city to do the needful
for them. We presume more good boats can be
