THE YORK TICKET.
Opinions of the Democratic Press Of the
State.

The Republicans have evidently v made
a serious blunder in going out of their
own party to nominate man, who
was first Greenbacker, next Dem
ocrat and then Liberal. The NOM
ination of Tyre York in preference to
Russell or Dockery, who have been
tried Republicans, thus ignoring prom
inent and capable men in their own
party. will make pill too bitter to
be swallowed by many good, honest
Republicans.-KernersuiHe Ners.
Although MFR. York has seasonal
bly, strong personal following, he brings
to the ticket moral weakness. But
yesterday he was a Democrat. A
party that is so poor as to elevate so
suddenly its obscure accessions is too
poor to command the respect ofits own
vetans or to arouse enthusiasm among
its masses.-Raleigh Chronicle.
The ticket is very nearly as weak
as it could have been made. York is
a petty demagogue, of some small pre-
tensions in Wilkes county, but no
qualifications either for canvass of
the State with Scales or for the ad-
ministration of the office of Governor.
-Goldsboro Messenger.
The hopelessness of the Republican
party of North Carolina could have
been made more manifest than by the
nomination of such a man as Tyre
York. His nomination is confession
of weakness, and is an acknowledge
ment Of anticipated defeat.-Pttsboro
Record.
The Mongrels have nominated a
licked that has the advantage or dis
ADVANCE of being obscure and weak.
York, the nominee for Governor, is a
demagogue of the first water with a
great deal of "cheek" smartness. The
ticket are nobodies.-kinston Free
Press.
The State ticket nominated last
Friday at Raleigh is not calculated to
awaken much enthusiasm in the State,
either among the Republicans or the
so-called Liberals, nor is it an enticing
morsel to the colored people Green's
boro Bugle.
If the Republican bosses, the Mott
ring, who nominated the ticket at
Raleigh last week had been in the pay
of the Democrats they could not have
put up n weaker ticket than that an
nounced by them.- Wilmington Revieu.
The chief recommendations Of DIR.
York seems to possess for Governor
so far as We have seen stated, are that
he has good common sense, wears
home made pants and rides donkey.
-Snoac Hill Telegraph.
All the Democratic party has to do
is to nominate a ticket Of able and
tried and true men and the coalition
will be beaten to DEATH All their big
talk about what York can do is bosh.

1t is not only not strong ticket in
itself, but is very weak and vulnera-
BILE, and we do not regard it as very
materially strengthened by the coali-
tion process through which it has pass
ed.-Chariotte Observer.
1t will be beaten by the Democrats,
as it ought to be, on account of its
platform of principles, and on account
of its Republican cowardice.-Eliza.

The result of their deliberations has
been the nomination of a coalition
ticket that is onl y remarkable for the
weakness of its components. Durham,
Recorder.
We heard a very prominent gentle.
man say that the Republicans had
nominated weak ticket. 1t looks
that way to us.-Hiiksboro Observer.
The Republican State ticket is in
several respects the best ticket eve,
put forward by that party in this
State.-Raleigh Chronicle.
