at Burnsve the county seat of Yancey county, ana SO
with appointments every other day up to the 24th
The sounds of conflict come down to us mellowed by
the distance and at times faint to be hardly audi
be What is being said or done can only learn cas-
ualy for newspapers and newspaper correspondents are
not so plenty in the mountains they in the East
ern part of the Stacperhaps upon the whole it is as
well.
Mr.. McRae would appear to be suting his views, or
at least the expression of them to the state of feeling IN
the mountains But that will hardly take News tray
els fast. Men not apt to go it bindy as might
be supposed and East and West will be pretty certain
to understand each other before the fifth of August
The local contests in the several counties and senate
rial districts becoming warmer and more exciting as
the day of election approaches. Our New Hanover
County candidates open the ball to-day at Federal
Point and will 60 through until they have visited every
precinct in the county We had the pleasure last even
ing of seeing Messr Moore and Bryan candidates for
the Commons, who went down to Federal Point this
morning to fulfil their appointment there. MesSrs.
Hail. Vann and Fenne candidates for Sheriff. will also
be about.
In the other counties of this and the neighborng dis
tcts the candidates are out In the senatorial district
composed of Bladen Brunswick and Columbus I. D..
Mcdowell, ESD is the Democratic nominee and A. j.
Jones, Esq, the opposition candidate.
Mr. Mcdowell is eminenty worthy of all the support
his party can give him. He is good Democratic
weliporme politican-an able debater and more than
all, clever gentleman and an honest man. Mr.. Nc
Dowen ought to be elected and he will be, if the Demo
Gratis of his district do their duty by him.
Onslow will send two good Democrats to the next
legislature one to the Senate and to the Commons.
VIM. J. Houston, Esq, is a candidate for the Senate
from Duplin He is the only candidate for the Senate.
There are four candidates for the Commons, of whom
only two can be elected. All Democrats.
We regret to learn that there exists dsorganiza
ton or some feeling of disorganization in Cumberland
and Harnctt, arising altogether out Of local issues
having reference to the boundaries Of the two cOun-
ties and also to the location of the county seat of the
new county of ITarnct We trust that the thing may
be all arranged.
With merely local questions outside of our county
we have always reraned from interfering but we do
not regard dsorganzation, where the strength of the
whole party may thereby be affected, local question
We arc compelled to regret the position in which Thomas
l. Faison Esq, of Sampson, has unfortunately placed
himself in consenting to run against the nominee of
his party for the Senate. 1t is not the personal feel
ing in Sampson that we speak of-tt0t the
people of Sampson have alone cognizance Of 1t is not
Thomas ]. Faison or y. a. MckOy both of whom are
friends of ours and both supporters ofJudge Ellis Its
the nominee Of the party and the opponent to that nom
nee that we regard these gentlemen atpresent andsore
garding them we cannot but trust that Democratic
brethren will tick mp to the ticket full and clear through
out.
In Wayne there would appear to be only ono set of
candidates, all Democrats.
In Nash there would appear to be considerable feel
ing but we must think that the regular, odlinc, anti
distribution Democrats will be elected. 1t won't do to
put anybody into the next Legislature that you don't
feel satisfied to tie to-, upon whom you cannot place
the fullest depedencc-the most implicit confidence If
the Democrats of Nash wish to DC satc-to leave no
grounds for regret let them be certain to have
ner of doubt in regard to the rmneSS and reliability of
those whom they send to the next Legislature.
The ENTHUSIASTICALLY we doubt whether VIC avail
ourselves fully of all the advantages to be derived from
proper use of the weather topic of remark. Every
body talks OF the weather. and we have neglected to
write word about it since Tuesday, when it had got
quite cool and comfortable Since that time, indeed,
since Monday thas raned part OF every day. and we
think that in this immediate vicinity, as, indeed all
over the county where have heard from, there has
been an abundance of moisture.
We trust the last half of the present month may be as
pleasant as the season will admit Our county candi-
dates will have pretty atigueing time of it under any
circumstances as they go through with rush, perhaps
the best plan.
There WILL we take it for granted, be no opposition to
the very excellent legislative ticket nominated by the
Democratic county convention still it is always advisa
BILE for every Democrat to cast his vote 1t is due to
the gentlemen nominated and it places success beyond
the reach of any possible contingency
The candidates for the office of Sheriff MIR. Hail. the
present incumbent, Mr.. w. Il. j. Vann, and Mr.. n.
T. FenneII, all worthy gentlemen, and all personal
friends of ours. In this contest take no farther
part than to deprecate the growth of any feeling Of bit
terness or personal antagonism among fellow citi-
zens, more especially among fellow Democrats
Any such feeling is unnecessary. We can all
agree to disagree if choose. Each candidate
has his friends but this by no means implies that the
friends of one candidate should be the enemies of any
other nor that all should not unite to give full and
liberal support to John W. Ellis and the county ticket
as all the candidates are certain to do
