-'.Siffings'' says that when Gen.
Leach spoke in Wilson he wa. "wel
coined" to the town by a large banner
stretched across Nash street, with the
following words on it: In 1880, Gen.
Leach said An Ethiopian cannet
change his color nor a Leopard his skin !;
but my God! fellow citizens, how quick
a white man becomes a niger when be
joins the Radical party"
No wonder he raved about the Demo
cratic editors. They ought to Let By

AS nearly as We can estimate from
the names printed in the press, or other
wise mentioned, it would appear that the
Liberals" have captured about $50
voters, heretofore considered Democratic.
This would cut down the 1000 Jarvis
majority of 1880 to less than l, 900 but
1t is likely that of the 5000 Liberals at
least one half did not vote for Jarvis; SO
that the outlook is less threatening for
the Democrats than might otherwise APP
pear. AS for the prohibition Republi.
cans" we doubt if SO of them fail to vote
the Radical ticket.

This refers to the numerous renegade
