seryatiyes who are impatient for the guber'
material con,es, to begin, as follows;
BE patient, be cautious. Wait for de-
y<opmenls az Washington. Matters are
fast coniug to a crisis there. Ibe Mahone

Repuhllcans show signs OF weakening. The
od,um Of cooperating with reputation Is
dreaded. RiddIeberger is a bitter OIL. Tbe

BE assured. to-, that there is no good
reason for doubling the result OF next iai's
elections for Governor, LIeuteuanl-Gov-
ernor. and Attorney. General. The attempt
made last year 10 induce the Democrats OF
Virginia TO vote the MALONE HANCOCK
clec:oraltckci failed ingloriously, notwitb-
s,lndlng that the General himself declared
up 10 The llS moment that this ticket would
sweep the state. The voters this year are
the same men. The $4,000 who saved tie
STATE last year will vote again this year to
save the State from the Republicans.
Wnen they see CONKLENG, KELLOGG,
SHERMAN, ANTHONY, and other Repub-
leans elected charmeD Of Senate commit
tee. By General MAHONE's vote, and elected
over HAMPTON. BUTLER, JOHNSTON, PEN
DLsToS, HARRIS, FARLEY, BECK, SAULs'
BURY, and other sound Democrats, they
will conclude. as they did last year, that
their votes must be on the side as to whose
Democracy there can be no doubt. The
Democratic ReSdiu>ters will beg leave TO

cratic. and not with one that VIII be so fet'
tered by It's negro and Republican elements
as 10 be in effect under bond and security
no. 20 profess to be, or to be, genuine DEM
ocrals. Indeed. it now appears that even
las, wear the Mah0nel.es declined TO sup
port HANCOCK as a Democratic nominee.
la his speech last Monday General MAHONE |
said:
IL was true, be said, the ReddiuSter |
party had instructed its electors for Han-
cock and English, but il was equally true |
that It bad fOrborne, an1 purposely Tor |
borne. from insiructng for those candidates
a he nominee, Of The Democratic party
TINS declaration must have surprised |
many a good Democrat OF the 81 600 who |
really imagined that in voting for the Ma |
HONE electoral ticket be was voting for
genuine Democratic ticket. But no. Gene
raj MAnOXE's language is that bis party |
DurpoSeiy" declined to instruct for HAN. |
cock and ENGLISH as the nominees Of the
Democratic party II mere doubt is 20
whether General MAHONE'S ticket repre-
sen,ed the Democratic party induced so
many Democrats TO vote the regular Demo !
cratic ticket last fall. what Will be the result |
next fall, now that he has made in the |
United States Senate the declaration quoted |
abovef We would be willing 10 take the |
vote tomorrow. The people know the real
state OF things.
But General MAHONE'S detection has i'm |
parted new life to the Republican party in |
North Carolina. The Charlotte Observer |
says that there is in existence amongst the |
Republicans of the State plan "to Ma |
honeize North Carolina" We quote:
The evidence accumulates. There is
movement all along the line. First the
Billy smith interview, III which the matter |
was mentioned in an ofi.hand sort Of man.
ner. Then the emphatic proclamation OF |
the Greensboro Nelc North state. These
thiags are followed by the publication in
tie Washington Republican OF the resolu-
tons passed by field and Arthur CLUB
OF Winston on the DIST instant, wherein
they set forth "thai, in the course pursued

Republicans, see the gradual dlmlnutiOn OF
the Bourbon Democracy in the South, and

IN the North, assured that this step is The

party, and place, us in the ascendcncy in
North Carolina"
IL would thus seem that by or before No
vember next the issues will be 50 clearly de-
fined As between The Democrats and their
opponents that there can be no room for
dispute as 10 what those issues are. What
is the use, then, OF hurrying into the cam

Themselves. There is 10 danger Of their
being deceived. Let them see for them
