on the east side gf the plaza is crowded
to overfiowing, and at least two thous.

entire coneourse OF people are on their

whole service, which is long and inn

the thousands of voices singing the
anthems. Immediately upon the con-

of the church commence discharging

ed States. There always are and al
ways will be croakers and despondett
persons in political campaign, men
who anticipate misfortune even when
everything promises fair, and we are
not without some Of them in the DEM
ocratic party at present. But generally
bright confident spirit prevails aud
campaign operations are being carried
on with great energy and ability
throughout the country.
A glance at certain figures connected
with the electoral vote may furnish as
surance to the doubtful and encourage
ment to all classes of Democrats A
plain, practical inspection of the situa-
ton as indicated by these figures. will,
we think, show almost beyond doubt,
that the Democratic party is going to
win in November by clean, satlsfuc-
tory majority.
There are 401 votes in the electoral
college and the candidate receiving POI
votes or more will be elected. or the
thirty-eight states, it is admitted by
all the Democratic party will carry the

We have omitted from this list two
states, California and Nevada, repre-
senting II votes, which were cast for
Hancock in 1880. Deducting from the
total we have given the votes of FIori-
da and West Virginia, which are the
only two states in the list the Repub-
licans make any claim of carrying,
there are left 152 votes respecting
which there can be neither doubt nor
controversy. Adding to these 152 the
vote of New York, SO, and of Indiana,
Is. gives 203, or clear majority IN the
electoral college. It is thus seen, that

In the pending contest shall cast my
ballot for Vance, Bennett, Rufhn and the
other Democratic nominees, being still
persuaded in my own mind that the con-
tinued supremacy of the Democratic
party in North Carolina is best for the
dearest interests OF the whole body of the
people, white and colored, east and west;
and further that every needed reform in
the law may readily be brought about
through Democratic agencies.
Respectfully. TOMBSTONE JONES.
Asheville, Aug, 20, lss2.
These are my sentiments to-day. As
long as 1t Is necessary TO prevent negro
rule IN the eastern Counties. | am 10 favor
OF retaining the present county govern
ment system. And in expressing this
view | believe | utter the sentiments Of
every true white Democrat IN Western
North Carolina.
With the negro question out of the
way, | would prefer the election of JUS
tees of the peace and county commits
sloners by the people. This is in accord
with the prevailing sentiment among the
Democrats of the Mountains. But, these
are a generous. noble people, and they |
know are willing to uphold the present
county government system for all time
rather than see our brothers in the east
put under the heel of the African.
In my humble opinion this is a white
mans country white mans governments,
and must be maintained as such, at all
hazards.
The colored race is an alien and infe-
nor race. They should be protected In
all their rights as citizens. They should
be educated, c~bristianized, and elevated
IN the scale OF humanity. | am In favor
of this. But in the government of the
country they must be content to occupy a
subordinate position. They shall not
govern me nor mine, if | can help it.
Hence, am opposed to the Republican,
the Liberal, the Coalition. and every
other party that is founded on negro
form in North Carolina, and would sub
ject any portion of my race to negro dom
lnatlon IN any part of the State.
You. Mr.. Editor, have (unintentionally
and through honest mistake. | presumed
placed me in a false light before your
readers, and | ask that you give this
communication a place in the columns Of
your paper. Yours respectfully,

SpEECH-MAKING OVER A REBEL
FLAG.-At the opening Of the Grand
Army Hall, Camden, last evening, an
interesting episode was the presentation
by Governor Leon Albeit to William 3.
Hatch Post, of rebel coiors Of the Six
teenth North Carolina Regiment of Cobb's
Legion, which were captured by Frank
f. Souders, of the Fourth New Jersey at
Champions Pass, Md. in 1862. They
were received by Comrade Eugene Troth.
Addresses were also made by ex-Gov-
ernor Parker and Department Comman-
der Nevins. -Phila. Record.

A SERIOUS MIsTAKE.-If anybody
imagines that newspapers are not read,
let him print a serious blunder, and then
sit down in the post office to await the
returns ~ Such a misprint we made
last week, in mentioning the name of Nj.
Frank Thornton, of Fayetteville, in place
Of another. Having never been in Fay
etteville, we did not know there were
others of the name.
But, with pleasure we note that MIR.
Frank Thornton is not only not the per-
son, but. al contfdire, he is one Of the
most wealthy, respected and popular mer-
chant of Fayetteville. This is vouched
for by a shower of letters to us from his
friends, far and neal "a compliment to
him, and a kindness to us, for which we
return thanks, as we desire at all times to
repair any injustice we may have done.
