ID. E.. McIVer for Auditor.
JJuvenis in Clinton Caucasian.

Among the Democratic aspirants for
the Office Of State Auditor none has better
qualifications for the position or greater
availability as a candidate than Duncan
z. McIver, present State Senator from
Moore and Randolph. He is gentleman
of ability, culture and the requisite bust
ness attainments. Allied with the indus
trial classes, and having stood by their
interests in the last General Assembly, he
has hold upon them unequallcd by that
of any of his competitors. Young, active,
vigorous and Industrious, he would bring
to bear upon the duties Of the Office the
zeal of youth coupled with the intelligence
of cultivated mind and the energy Of a
successful man of affairs. In bcatowing
upon him these more substantial bounties,
Dame Nature has not denied him liberal
share of her less weighty treasures. Pos
sessing all the graces and amenities which
mark the gentleman, who like the poet Is
born not made, he adds to them a gift Of
speech of which any man might well be
proud. OF his character it need only be
said that it is of that mould whose integ
rity knows no policy but principle, and no
swerving from the path Of duty. With
bis name upon the ticket the Young De
mocracy would be inspired with an en-
thusiasm that would defy opposition and
Opposed to these elements of strength he
has not single weak point that would be
open to Republican attack. Let him be
nominated. By all means let Sampson 90

WILSON, N. O., May 22, 18es.-The Dem
ocrats of Nash county met last Monday in
County Convention for the purpose of
nominating their candidates to fill the
county Offices and elect delegates to the
different Conventions. The Convention
was one of the most harmonious and en-
thusiastic that has been held in that coun-
ty in years. The people are united and
there is a strong determination to carry
the county Democratic all through this
year. In keeping with that determine
ton, the following excellent ticket Yves
nominated: For the House of Represen-
tatives, Joseph B. Phillips for Sheriff, A.
H. Ricks; for Register of Deeds, r. F.

Especial Cor. STATE CHRoNIOLE.l
The time for the meeting of the Demo-
cratic State Convention is near at hand
The men who are to be our Standard
Bearers will soon be known and the cam
paign begun. No one doubts that it will
be an earnest and a vigorous campaign
Every inch of ground will be hotly con-
tested and every possible means used to
wrest from the Democracy the government
of the good old North state.
We have willy enemy with which to
contend. Every possible advantage will
be sought and no stone left unturned to
accomplish their object.
With these facts in view the Convention
should use the utmost discretion in select
ing the men who are to lead the Demo
cratic host in this contest. They should
be men of recognized ability and of un-
questionable character and integrity. Men
with a clean record and of known fidelity
to the party, against whom the breath of
calumny never dared to breath Men
that can be aggressive and that will not,
at the beginning of the Campaign, be put
upon the defensive.
Such man is Capt W. A. Darden. of
Greene, whose name will be presented to
the Convention for nomination for the
Office of State Auditor. The friends of
Capt. Darden do not rest his claims upon
the bare fact that he is of that class of
our citizens that constitute a greater por-
ton of our population but never meets
with proper recognition, but upon his ia
dividual worth and merit and faithful
services to the party. No better man or
one more thoroughly qualified for Auditor
can be found in the State. He is an earn
est and vigorous speaker Campaign af-
ter campaign he has labored zealously for
the success of the party without reward
or hope of reward, and if nomina ed now
his eloquent voice will be heard all over

Mr.. Editor: Pardon few words from
one not accustomed to letter-writing, but
who realizes, at least, partially, the grave
Importance of the political struggle to
occur, this year, in the nation. National
politics are of very great Importance, but
paramount are our local State affairs. We
cannot forget the dark days so recently
passed, but we may fail to guard against
their return, with proper care and circum-
spection. In seeking selfish ends and the
promotion of favorites, We may overlook
the common veal, and to that end the
success of the Democratic party all along
the line, and in placing our standards in
the hands of men, We may neglect the
great Importance of selecting men in full
accord with the sentiment of the voting
masses. Loyalty to the party is a strong
reliance, but, in wisdom, it will not do to
suppose that that is sufficient to insure
success. There is wonderful awaking of
popular thought. The masses require that
the candidates shall represent some living
principle, or present interest. Devoid of
something of the kind, and no enthusiasm
can be aroused and a large unpolled vote
will be the consequence The sentiment
of voters must be respec' ed. Some may
say that sentiment Is foolish, but that
does not cure the evil. Many disease

We went to press too early last
week to review Judge Martins
speech. It is stale now, but we wish
to say that there was much sophistry
in it. He constantly alluded to the
Protective Tariff as "a tax Now,
the tariff duty is not a tax on Ameri-
cans, but is the sum assessed on the
foreign manufacturer for the privi-
lege of selling his goods in American
markets. It is a sort of admission
fee collected off him at the gate be-
fore he is allowed to enter our mar
kets. If a peddler or the keeper of
a lemonade stand wants to sell his
wares on the Fair ground next week,
he will have to pay to the society an
admission fee for that privilege
That may be called a tax on him, but
is in no sense a tax on the other peo-
pie who are inside the fair ground
enclosure. If a circus show comes
along and wants to exhibit within the
incorporate limits of Phillipsburg,
the City Council will assess upon its
owner a tariff duty of 10 or more
dollars. That is tax on the show
man, but not on the people who re-
side in Phillipsburg. So it is with
goods imported into this from foreign
countries, The importer has to pay
an admission fee for competing in
our markets and that fee does not
come out of the pockets of the Amer
lean consumer as has been demon
strated thousands of times. The for
eigner's prices when he gets his
goods into our markets are governed
by the prices ruling at the time in
this country. The sophistry and
demagogery of. democratic speakers
who are trying to mislead the people
on this subject, deserves the severest
censure.
