very unpleasant occurrence arouse d
intense indignation among Democrats
A Gen. Scales vas speaking large
crowd of nctr, es marched past the stand
abandoning the route they had previous
" announced and interrupted the meet
ing by yellS and upr0ar, during which a
voley Of stones we're fired al gen. Scales,
and State E,ector Staples was struck by
one. He was not seriously wounded, but
the MISSES were capable Of damage The
Democrats, on motion of Col. Duncan Nc
Rae appointed committee to notify the
RepublicaL leaders shat ibis sort OF out
rage must cease. 1t i, fair ia add that
the Republican leaders have disclaimed
any knowledge of the stone-tbrowins,
have offered reward Of $50 for the
arrest Of the tErowcrs. 1t was a SAFE
offer, of course; but we think their public
apology a,quits them Of blame.
~ They who desire the triumph Of
Observation-Disclosures principles in
America should >ske an extraordinary
effort to win the approaching contest;
because if We fail there will be little like
hood of success within the present gener-
alton. if ever. Great changes are taking
place in the Land and Mr.. Blaine Is
precisely the man to accelerate these
changes. The ''soiid South" whose
l53 votes are the main reliance of the
party, will not vote solidly in any elec
ton after this year. immigration daily
adds to the Northern element; Manu-
factures and Mines daily strengthens the
Tariff '-element; and the coming of age
OF young men who care nothing for the
past, and are full of selfish schemes ofl
personal advantage to be gained by
scotfing at the old time South" and
attaching themselves to the triumphal
car of the coming Yankee ;-these things
all foretell the disruption of the DEM
ocratic party, if the present election
be lost. West Virginia, Virginia, North
Carolina, Florida and louisiana are
almost sure to be Yankeeized.
On the other hand, if It be gained,
the South will re-join the Union, and
the country VIII become the most united,
prosperous, and powerful on the face OF
the globe. 50 may it be!
1t locks now as if the Republicans
would make considerable gainin the next
Legislature. OF course it can be pre-
vented, but not without marked quick
ening Of the Democratic pulse. We
think it uOaise IN SO maay counties to
order new Registrations. Scores ofmen
say they woG d vote the Democratic ticket |
if they could Do 50 without riding ten
miles to register, and then tea miles to
vote, -spoiinc two days OF busy season.
In truth the reason North Carolina peo
pie are apathetic is because too much
worried in small matters and bewildered
in great. A man said to us,--"I have
just come from the Fair Grounds where
| saw Gov. Jarvis harraDguing the
Negroes, and telling them what his ad
miristra.ion had done for them; and yet
Just the niph, before | listened to DEM
ocratic leader describing the fearful re-
suits Of Civil Rights, and Negro Rule;
and be-moan,ng The rapid strides the
niger is making towards equality with
the whites, e,c! These things puzz.e
