It Should Not be Forgotten.

That on the first Thursday in August next we viii
be called upon to vote for Governor and members of the
State Legislature, well for Sheriff Some persons
appear to forget this Or protesting to be Democrats
seem disposed to sacrifice all party consderatons-a
respect for the Of the candidate for the Guber
material chair in their anxiety to carry the election for
particular candidate for Sheriff. Now, we ask of all
Democrats if this is just to their party to their prnc
pes to their candidates? Is it POSSIBLE that any can
be thus lukewarm, that the Democratic party OF
North Cardinals for the time being under the shadow OF
difficulty and embarrassment because of its stern adher
ence to principle? Is it possible that any can be so
mercenay to bask in the sunshine of Democratic pros
pery yet be ready either to abandon the party or to
give it cold and heartess support at the very first
breath Of Vcisstude?
But we trust for the credit of our people that there
are few such persons and, may add still fewer who
would barter any prncpefor the mere personal success
any individual. We have heard-others we suppose
have heard-or the rumor current one on the streets
that to some extent, at least, system of swapping
votes for Sheriff and Governor has been set on fooas
thus, A, member of the opposition is to vote for
particular candidate for Sheriff, provided B, Demo-
crat votes for Pool the opposition candidate for Gov
ernor. We do not wish to particularize-we cast no
reflection upon either Of the candidates for Sheriff. both
of whom we regard as personal and political friends
We simply call attention to the state OF things said to
exst-to its injustice to Gov. Els-to its sacrifice of
princple-we ask of the candidates for Sheriff to give
it their attention We beg of them to remember that
they too, are Democrats, and while we do not, and
ought net to ask them to carry their politics into the
office to which they aspire into the therefor
they ought not to suffer anything to be done for their pro-
motion at such sacrifice of principle the rumored ope
ration above referred to- would Indicate We ask of the
people of the County generally, and of the Democrats in
particular to keep watch upon any such operations and
Indignantly frown them down. Let there be fair fight
for Governor, and fair fight too for Sheriff. We do
not seek to interfere in any way with the Sheri5 con-
tests let not the contest of protesting Democrats asp
rants for the Office of Sheriff. be carried on at the ex
pense and to the deriment Of the Democratic candidate
for Governor. The Democrats of the County will hold
those if any, who do so, to strict account and they
will do right.

IA We publish in another column a letter from
VIM. A. Allen Esq, of Duplin County, the Democratic
eector for this district Mr. Allen speaks out boldly
plainly and unequivocay. He will be most fully sus-
tanned by his district. He we know is no disunonst,
and the charge of disunon sentiments against those who
prefer adherence to principle futile is gratuitous
We must all learn to bear and forbear. Like Mr..
Allen although prepossessions are all for Breckin
ridge and Lane, and for the platform on which they
stand, we yet, after Mr. Breckenridge prefer Mr. Doug
las to any other Presidential Candidate now before the
people
We need hardly call the attention of our friends of
the Democratic press in Fayetteville to the request at
the close of Mr.. Aliens letter. We feel assured that
they will cheerfuy comply by giving Mr.. AS letter
place IN their columns. We commend its spirit to our
Democratic brethren in all parts of the State
One thing more we will say-that is that we fully
agree with Mr. Allen that the electors must speak out
before the people and state distinctly who they are for
we know the gentlemen who have proposed resort to
the plan adopted in 1924 namely of running electors
unpedged to any particular candidates for Presidency
and Vice Presidency and knowing hem we feel assured
OF the purity of their motives although convinced that
their plan is practically impossible at this day. mol
doubt all the gentlemen chosen as electors fully rea
lie this.
