Dear Whig:-Now that We are on the
eve OF another election eau we get the
temperance party of this town to rally
together an crush the drink trade from
among us, and cannot something be done
to stop the dlsgrac1lul proceedings that
are taking place ON Sundays at the Far
mers' Hotel, aud at the s,lrois that are
ON Water street. Last Sunday 1t was
not decent for any lady to be in the
neighbOrhood for black and white were
abusing each other i'll the most viest way
they cou d think of. Since then it has
been one continual uDroar, only today
men were seen lying in our streets drunk
from that place. | am also given to
understand that part of the house is also
let for IA gambling hell which is worse
than the other. Now if this kind of
thing is allowed to be carried on in Our
midst what use are orr laws in respect
to prohiulLiuu Trusting that | am not

Art Embroidery.

An enticing lot of Art Work in Tides

of our counters running parallel with

medley between home and foreign talent,

fancy fair. 1t abounds with practical sug-
gestions for needleworkers, and is intended
TO tempt buyers, though lockers are just as
welcome. The list is long one and can
only be generalized in an advertisement
like this:

ChiIdren'S Suits and CIOaks.

Our full stock of Fall and Winter Cloaks
and Suits for Children has Just come in
and it seems to us must meet every desired
want, so varied are the materials, SO be-
coming the shapes and so tasteful the trim
mings. Every possible occasion seems to
have been thought over. There are Suits
and Cloaks which seem fit only for high
days and holidays; others which seem just
made for school. and still others which
seem to have been contrived specially for
the playground.
Prices have been made to suit every
pocket, with view in each case of giving
an excellent return for the investment, and
every provision has been made to make

REBUILDING PROJECTS.
OF all the buildings burned only four
had been more brick buildings the fire
would not have extended so tar, and it is
very likely that the business portion will
be built with brick. 1t is also expecte
that Main street will be broadened al d
straig htened, as this would be great
improvement. Salisbury has always
been noted for the business energy and
pluck OF its merchants. and it is thought
that just as soon they recover from
the nervous prostration produced by the
tire they will be equal to the emergency,
and will rebuild immediately and put
trade back into it's accustomed channels.
IL is SAID, however, that some of them
will not be able to rebuild and that
there will be an opportunity here for
capitalists to make profitable invest
meuus in real estate.

CLEVELAND AND A SECOND TERM.


Politicians are beginning to put
in an appearance at Washington,
d. G., and the candidacy of Mr.
Cleveland for denomination introduces
a new element into the situation. AS a
candidate for denomination Mr.. Cleve-
lands relations with his party are some
what changed. 1t is evident, since the
bee has begun to buzz more fear,essiy,
that he is less disposed to openly and
boldly ahront the politicians. He has
a difficult feat before him to balance
himself between the Independent voters
and the rock ribbed Democracy. Thus
far he is all right with the first mentioned
class. Now he is trying to placate the
politicians. There will be more politics
in the air this winter than is usual even
in Washington. Some of the hardened
spoilsmen Democrats are beginning to
speak of Mr.. Cleveland as better pol
itician than any of them. He is crowded
into close quarters by the numerous
violations of the order for Federal off
GERS to keep their hands off politics un-
der the penalty Of losing their heads,
and, while it will be difficult for him to
satisfy the demands ofthe Independent
Republicans without affronting the
Democrats, it is positively asserted that
the President will back water a little,
But it will be done gracefully. A few
active Democratic partisans will proba-
bly, be made examples of, but they will
be men who are offensive in other ways
besides politically. They will be such
as have something else against thee, SO
that when their friends complain of the
