Our amiable and gentlemanly
sheriff entered our Office day before
Yesterday in his usual urbane man
ner, and announced that he must
serve papers on us. 1t was a no.
tice Of a breach OF promise SUIT
against us by the Widow CllXby,
who alleges that we have been
toying with her heartstrings, and
thatit will take $1,000 OF our cash
to settle her thoughts back INTO The
old channel. 1t is another move
on the part of our enemies to down
us. We first met the Widow elk
by twenty-eight days ago in Oar
ter's grocery. She asked our opln
ion Of behring's, and we asked hers
OF soap,
She invited US to call at the
house to e some poetry she had
written on the rise and fall OF the
mastodon. We complied. We
called there three or four times
afterward, but only as a friend.
On one occasion The widow show
ed US a clipping from Al Eastern
paper to the effect that it was bet
ter for a mar who had passed the
age of SO to marry Il widow, If he
was to marry. but we didn't bite.
We know our gait. 1.-THE Wild
ow Clixby can prove to the wOfld
that we have toyed with her alfec
tons we'll ~cheerlully 60 to Jail.
We are not on the toy, The Wild
ow will find us no jack rabbit, and
the enemies who have encouraged
this new move may hear something
drop before the trial Is oyer.

MECKLENBURG REPUBLICANS.

Some years ago, it will be remem-
bered, we had what was known as
the liberal or coalition party. We
were defeated in this county by from
500 to 900 majority. 1t was repeated
once or twice with no success. This
spring our county executive committee
in calling our county convention de-
clared, in substance, that in this
campaign no one should be appointed,
nominated or recognized by repub-
licans for any Office except known and
tried republicans. 1t was thought
that all were starting out in this
campaign in good faith on that plat
form. If there is to be a change
from that it should be generally
known to the party.
1t is talked around that certain
men are bargaining with Cooper and
other democrats and pledging them
the republican vote of the county.
We are not fully advised of the truth
Of the report, but now warn the
parties, that they had better count
we'll their strength beforehand or
they will be unable to deliver the
goods after selling.
We are frank to say, no coalition
ticket can succeed in this county
without the colOrcd vote pretty solid
and that the colored vote is not in a
condition to be sold by one or two
parties just now. When the ropub-
lican party Of MeckIenburg county

changes its policy the MESSENGER
wants to be informed in time to get
in harmony with the party, but if the
tricksters make their trade and then
expect to take this paper and the
party over to a few democrats for a
few dollars, they will get left as in
the past.
In the multitude of counsel there is
wisdom. In union is strength.
Don't keep your secrets too close
brethren, or you, Cooper and your
whole crew may go down to shame
and defeat. What better weapon dc
we want to fight with than Cooper's
record as sheriff and the former
position of the men who are now try
ing to palm him off on the colored
republicans.
Brother republicans, let us all I'M
derstand each other before we 60 toe
far in this fight. Fair play--an
honest deal.

honest dea

Last Saturday the Daily Chronicle
of this city, said that Mr.. Harrison
voted against the Blair bill while in
the Senate. Everybody knew that
was not so, and the Chronicle got
ashamed of itself and corrected on
Sunday. We are glad to see that
there is at least one writer on that
paper who sometimes repents of sin.
Mark it down, a democratic paper
corrects a false report againsta repub-
lican candidate. 1t may be seen from
this also, that democratic editors are
not careful in gathering their news,
but have too strong an inclination to
injure republicans.
Our candidate and next president
is all right on the educational
question as on all others. He was in
the republican majority that passed
the Blair bill, and the democratic
party defeated it in the House, where
the same party have it smothered
now. Mr.. Harrison is our candidate
and democrats need not worry about
him. He's straight. He will be the
next President of. these United

Republican Platform.

list. That the interests OF the farmer
and the laborer are identical, and
whatever injuriously effects one works
a grievance against the other.
I'd. The hand that holds the pillow
should be honored, and there should
be more equitable equation between
the wages of labor and the compen-
sation of the ofiice-holder.
Sd. We look upon the purity of the
ballot-box as the best possible security
against threatening evils and we
demand such reasonable State legis-
lation as will fully protect the. elector
in the exercise of the elective franchise.
Any denial of the elective franchise
by fraud or violence poisons the
springs of power.
4th. Agriculture, manufacture and
commerce are the three great factors
of civilization and all Legislation tend
ing to foster these agencies will re-
ceive the support of the Republican
party.
9Th. While industry and economy
are always to be looked to for relief
from financial depression, individual
success necessarily depends to great
extent upon wise legislation. To
this end the total and unconditional
repeal of all internal revenue taxes
will greatly relieve the present par
alyzcd industrial condition of the
country-both by relieving the
country of swarm of unnecessary
officials and will relieve North Caro-
lima from this unequal and unjust tax.
Internal federal taxes belong only to
war and all revenues for the support
of the Federal government Gin times
of peace should be collected from
customs dues and their collection
should be so adjusted as to protect
American industries and labor
9th. The general government
should not keep in its treasury any
more money than is actually necessary
to meet the demands of the govern
ment and as the means of preventing
any further accumulation We demand
the repeal of the internal revenue
system of taxation and the passage
of the Blair educational bill as the
best method of public education and
of distributing the already accumulat-
ed surplus in the treasury.
18th. We are opposed to the present
system Of county government and we
demand the election Of all county and
township officers by the people.
9Th. The Republican party fayors
and will earnestly support any iegis-
lation looking to the abolition Of all
useless State officials aud DEEPEN
denotes, and the repeal of all I'M
necessary taxation. that government
itself may not consume that which
it was intended to foster and protect.
9Th We favor the working of the
public roads by some system more
equitable than the present unjust and
burdensome one.
10th. That VIC oppose the present
system Of hiring out convicts by the
State, so as to bring their labor in
competition with free labor

We visited South Park, Lincoln
Park, the great stock yard or slaugh-
ter pen and took ride under Chicago
river in a tunnel in which are
thousand lighted lamps. We took
ride out on Lake Michigan about
five miles, all of which we enjoyed
much. In Lincoln Park is a large
statue of President Lincoln. In this
park also is geological garden,
which is said to be second to none in
the country. Here may be seen
elephants, tigers, bears, buffalos,
elks, deer, beavers, seals, prairie
dogs, wolves and many other animals
and birds. 1t is lovely park Of
about four hundred acres and is free
to all at all times.
The slaughter pen is the grandest
thing to be seen in this great city.
1t employs 5000 men, besides women
and children. 1t covers several
hundred acres and is laid off in
squares and the squares divided into
pens. In these pens may be seen
thousands of the finest and latest and
biggest beef cattle in the country.
Thousands of sheep and hogs and
hundreds of calves are here also.
Here we witnessed the biggest
"hog-killing" of our life. 1t is
really interesting to see it. A
hundred hogs may be seen walking
into the pen and in less than an hour
the same hogs may be seen dressed
and being prepared for shipment. A
hog is fastened by one foot, raised up
and goes slipping and sliding like a
rope walker underneath the rope. 1t
goes from one man to another, each does
his part to it until it is ready for the
last knives to be quartered up.
The Convention auditorium holds
about 10000 people. 1t was well
filed every session. 1t is magnif-
cent building. The chairman can be
seen from all parts of the hall. 1t was
finely decorated with flags and bunt-
ing and pictures and lights. Over
the presiding officer was beautiful
shield which when lighted showed
the thirty-six stars in blue ground
and the stripes of red and white,
emblematic of the American flag.
The auditorium was ventilated by
steam fans The convention was
good natured and we'll behaved. One
hundred policemen assisted the
officers. We will say no more of it
just now. 1t gave us the ticket that.
will win.
We left Chicago 11.30 on Monday
night the 18th. Though we meant
to remain in Washington and had
secured situation, we were too
eager to come back to the Old North
State. We reached home Thursday
noon and though we left enthusiastic
for Sherman, we return just as earnest
for Harrison and Morton. Not alone
because the party nominated them,
but because it is good ticket
Because they are good and pure men.
Men whom the enemy can say nothing
against. Then after happy return
from a pleasant trip, we say hurrah
for Harrison and Morton and North
Carolina.

"There, dear, don't take it to heart so

That evening as Emma sat out in the big
swing, feeling very lonesome and horne-sick

ma, and I'm awfully ashamed ofmyseif for
being 50 cross to YOU yesterday. Please
forgive me, I'm your own little sorry Myr-

have gone to bed angry with each other

pieces gracefully, thankful that no sus-
pieion of harm had been wrought in gain

said TO Emma. ''The experience have

a MoTHER's TALK TO GIRLS.

You would not be surprised if l were to
ask your brother what he intends to make
of himself. but if were to put the query
20 you, perhaps you might open your
eyes in astonisbment. You expect to 90
to school until you graduate, and then be-
come young lady in society and have
nice time. Do you intend to go to parties,
and have beautiful costumes? Who will
foot the bills? "Oh, Papa, of course
And in return you will embroider him
handsome slippers on material for which
be pays, and have them soled at his ex-
pense at figures three times as much as you
would pay for pair ready made, and then
you will think yourself very dutiful. You
will make banners to hang on every spare
space, and crazy quilts for yourself and
friends at enormous expenditure of time
and money. You will dust the parlor fur
niture and take care of your own room and
fancy yourself industrious; you will help
the dressmaker plan elaborate garniture
for your new dresses and call it being
economical. Perhaps you practice the
piano an hour daily, belong to a reading
club and call yourself studious, but what is
to be your life work? If called upon to-day
to earn your own living, is there any one
thing you coald do so well that some one
would pay You to do it? You don't ex-
pect to have TO work for living, yet your
brother does. He would feel ashamed to
calculate on being supported all his life.
Why should not your brother be supported
as well as you? But what is the use of
girls learning business when the chances
are that she will get married and never
have an opportunity of following the voca-
tion which has cost her so much time and
labor? To maintain her self-respect, if
for nothing else.
Why should you live an aimless life?
The world needs workers; why not be one
of them? If you have talent-and who
has not-why not cultivate it SO as to
make it of avail to you? Why not be am
bilious to do something and to do it welle
The time you put upon it will not be lost,
for it will develop you, it will make you
stronger, more worthy of living.
True worth is being, not seeming;
In doing each day that goes by,
Some little good, not in the dreaming
OF great things to do by and by.
Learn trade, a profession, a business.
Find your work and make a place for
yourself in the world. Then if you are pro-
NOTED to the dignity of wifehood, and
must lay aside your less important bust
ness, you will not be less worthy, less the
woman or less the mother The very
knowledge that you can support yourself
with, WILL perhaps, relieve you of much
dreadful forboding. Many a woman has
found use for her skilIful hand in the sup
port of an invalid husband and helpless
children. Then too, think it will make
you more careful in the choice of hus-
band. You will not be planning to marry
for wealth or a home and can afford to
wait until you can marry for love. You
will think more Of yourself, thus demand.
ing more of the man whom you honor with
your heart and hand, and, as your ultimate
destiny will doubtless be to marry, no
matter what other vocation you may choose,
be sure and obtain a practical knowledge
of all the duties of woman in the home.
