A WORD TO THE DEMOCRATS.

This district els really Democratic.
1t was lost last time for two reasons.
First.-because our congressional can
didate was laboring under a cloud
and could not receive the hearty sup
port necessary. Second, many good
Democrats felt too secure and failed
to go to the polls.
The consequence was that an in
competent, almost unknown, radical
was sent to Washington to represent
a district which has heretofore been
represent ed by Democrats. This year
we must. ard will succeed.
The first thing necessary is the tight
kind of candidate. We can get him by
thoroughly organizing our township
and county conventions and instruct
ing delegates. In this way everybody,
in the good old Democratic way.
will havean opportunity to express his
preference, and when the candidate is
nominated he will have the hearty en-
dorsenent of every Democrat in the
district. Thorough organization is nee
essary, in the second place, for doing
effective campaign work and getting
all the voters to the polls, and arous-
ing that enthusiasm for the Democracy
which it deserves. Therefore begin early.
Each township should select its
best men to represent it in the coun-
ty county convention ana the county
conventions will then undoubtedly
send proper men to the district and
state conventions.
In this way We will get the best
candidates aud the strongest support
possible, and We viii not again be dis
graced by radical victory. Begin to

JUSTICE FOR THE BOODLERs

Solicitor T. M. Argos words have
the right ring. In card to the News
and Observer he says:
mo living man had the authority to
enter into any agreement or compact
for North Carolina, or to compromise
| the State or to grant any terms oz
concessions to the fugitives for her
Fair notice was given that the State
would not not regard any compromise
or concessions in my telegram ofApril
4th, 1888, to Mr.. G. D. Heart, Elk
tradition Agent, who was then in To-
ronto, Canada. This telegram, l am
informed, was duly received and con-
sidered.
The agreement referred to, in my
opinion, can have no other or more
effect upon the status of the parties
charged, or upon the rights Of North
Carolina in the premisis, than would
an agreement executed between any
other three and unofficial individuals
in the Dominion Of Canada.
The parties charged are there
fore indictable, triable and pun
ishable in the courts of North Carroll
ma for any offence they may have
committed within their jurisdiction and
in violation of the laws Of the State.
1, who alone have the power to do
so. have authorized no concessions or
terms, and shall regard no understand
ing or agreement between Messrs.
Cross and White and any other per-
son pretending to grant them.
Being the sole responsible officer,
and having entire and unqualified
control Of such prosecutions as have
been or may be Instituted, l shall ex-
ercise such fair and impartial dis
cretion in regard to them and their
management as my duties to the pub
lie and to the prisoners, under any
and by virtue ofthe obligations of my
official oath demand"
This is right. That is what the peo-
pie want. "Raleigh's two Rogues" de-
serve as pretty suit of stripes as the
penitentiary affords and the people de-
mand that a man who steals 100000
shall have just as hard road to travel
as the negro who robs hen-roost. Mr..
Argos letter will give pleasure to the
people, who thought the rogues might
possibly be cleared.

Judge Fowle certainly has friends
in this section. He studied law and
has held court in this district and the
people know and admire him. They
cannot and will not fail to remember
how he stood between them and their
enemies in the dark days of recon
struction and radical rule. AS an es-
mable citizen Of Surry county said
to THE SENTINEL last week, they be-
lieve that eff any man deserves more
than another at the hands Of the
Democratic party Of N G. he is Fowle.
ArmfeId's refusal to be ii candidate
will strengthen Fowle and if he IS
nominated the people Of this district
will rally around him and give him
their hearty, enthusiastic support.
