Reference TO a table on our local

that the democratic ticket at the Au'
gust election will read For County

stable, Tolbert Martin. Although not
exactly as we voted it, we believe
that the ticket Is, taken as a whole,
the strongest that could be
nominated from the list of candidates,
and we shall give it our most unquali-
fed su pport. The gentlemen com
prisiug it are all democrats, good and
true, and their popularity in their
party has been most abundantly
proven. In fact, the democracy was
so we'll pleased with Messrs. Brown,
Blain and Menefee, that not a
man in the party could be found
to run against them, while the others
go in on we'll earned laurels. There
is no combination Of disappointed
democrats and notoriety seeking re-
publicans that can beat the ticket as
nominated, and we defy them to name
their entries. The causes that led TO
the disgraceful defeat Of portion of
the County ticket in 1874, are not
alive in the present race. There is
no dissatisfaction in the party ranks as
there was then, and not a man on our
ticket but what can hold his own and
not be burden to it. Democrats do
not go back on their party principles to
please few dissatisfied would-be lead
ers, and we predict that even if it is
opposed by the strongest combination
of sO-called Independents in August,
our ticket will be elected by. at least
500 majority.

IMMEDIATELY following the Nc
Henry Jacobs blowout in Louisville,
the republicans of the city who were
opposed to allowing the tail to wag
the dog, met in mass meeting and in
strong terms denounced the proposed
fusion with the few boiling democrats
and called on the State Central Com
mittee to make a straighout republi-
can nominee. The meeting was not
only large but decidedly enthusiastic,
fact which shows that the CONNER
cial as an organ, is without honor in its
own country. In addition to the
views expressed in the meeting, letters
were read from prominent republicans
all over the State, which showed that
the sentiments of true republicans ev-
cry where we're against a coalition
that would compromise their fixed
principles without any benefit to be
gained thereby. Poor McHenry,
poor Jacobs, their main stay has been
knocked from under them.

Queen Victoria was made few days
ago. The shot was fired as she was
about to enter her carriage at Wind
sor, by a man who gave his name as
Rhoderick Mac Lean, standing at thir,

and the Queen did not know that the
attempt to assassinate her had been
made till sometime after. The man
was Immediately seized and jostled to
a police station, where he said he did
not shoot to kill the Queen, but to
cause public alarm and get his pecuni-
AIRY grievances redressed. He is de-
scribed as an eccentric, drunken wretch.

Oscar Wlde,s FatheE,

In a biographical sketch of Oscar
Wilde, the lively aesthetic who recently
appeared at the Savannah Theatre, a
contemporary tells a story which is al
most as broad as the famous one of
which Lady Mary Wortley Montague
was the subject. 1t says: "Whence Mr..
Wilde got his Rstheticism weknow not.
1t was not from that worthy man of
science, his father. His habits were
Hibernian to the core, and 'racy Of the
sOil.' Dining out one day in Dublin, a
lady, an intimate acquaintance, whom
he took down to dinner, said: Now,
really, Sir William. this is outrageous;
you haven't WASHED your hands, With
great. good humOr the eminent ocuIist
replied: 4 will bet you that there's a
dirtier hand than that here i don't
believe it, rejoined his fair companion.

he held up his other hand. He spoke
truth"

we are to run republican in this
district or not. 1t may be that all
the Republicans will holu back and
give the fight for Congress entirely
to the democrats. Col. Chas. r.
Jones is in the field and we may be
called upon to vote for him. He is
a democrat-a very clever gentle
man and very liberal in his views
as expressed in his card. Many ru-
mors are afoat concerning him; but
one thing we do know, he is a can
didate for Congress.
We do not believe the republi-
cans of this district will support
Col. Chas. R. Jones without better
understanding of his position and
knowing whe Their he is generally
endorsed by the rank and file Of the
party. He has been looked upon as
the leader of the democratic party
of western North Carolina, owning
the largest paper in the west and it
would seem very strange for him to
60 to Congress by republican votes
over regular democratic nominee.
But this is all yet in the future. He
straightens himself up nicely on pro-
hibition, is sound on the county
government, alright on education /;
in short, if he was called republi-
can he would be the man of our
choice.
Mr.. W. G. Means is liberal kind
of fellow, and wants to show us his
liberality by serving us as solicitor.
Shall we crafty his patriotic desire
by voting for him or shall we vote
tor Mr.. Osborne or somebody else2
Mr.. Means is democrat, but is OPP
posed to the present form of county
government and it seems that he is
willing TO step outside the party to
correct the wrong. This we admire
in him even more than anything
vet seen in Col. Jones.
But the most important with us
is, can't we elect a republican to fill
both positions? This is too impor-
tant question to be left to candi-
dates themselves or to the liberal
executive committee.
