cratic party is incapable and unquali-
fed to manage and control the finan-
cial and political destiny Of this
country. This is saying much, but
it's the peoples verdict, and a
righteous verdict. We must feel
deeply concerned at the results of
Tuesdays election. The whole cOun-
try it, and a deep sigh of relief
from democratic misrule is breathed
from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean
and from the lakes to the gulf.
Proud and glorious America fair
women and brave men-true hearts
and souls resolved, hearts as true as
steel and steady and unerring as the
sun in it's course-these for country.
God and truth. II is hoped now that
the political excitement is over that
the country will settle down to BUSH
ness. Our people should lay aside
the political tomahawk for a while
and resume the work of building up
our material and pecuniary resources,
educate our children. acquire more
property and better fit ourselves for
the duties and responsibilities of eiti-
zenship. The National government

years. L suppose the first work of

having been indicted into Office, and

The "tidal wave" has swept the
country and Mr.. Harrison is President.
This is the proudest epoch in Ameri-
can history This is the proudest and
most glorious triumph ever achieved
by American freemen. All political
creeds and parties have their day Of
rejoicing and glorifcation, but no
event during the last quarter of a
century has rivaled, in deep impOr-
lance, in heated debate and appeals to
the popular sovereignty Of all classes
Of people, than the great contest just
ended. November the 9th, 1888, will
90 down in history as the day on which
the great National Democratic party
was put on trial and convicted. One

Of fwenty-eight years, and at the end
of that term, the sovereign people Of
the greatest country on the globe say

THAT CAMPAIGN DOODLE.

The people of this county are yet
much concerned about the many ru-
mors of money sent to this county for
campaign purposes. The use of money
in campaigns by political parties is
held by all sides to be legitimate, for
all parties use money, but the ques-
ton here is: how much came to this
county, who got it and for what was
it spent?
We do not accuse any one Of get
ting money, we are not one of the
promised and disappointed parties.
We are not expecting dollar. Our
reward will come in due time We
speak for the good name of the party.
1t is claimed that bills are standing
against the party and the reputation
of the party in the county is being in
jured. Innocent men are suspected
and the truth of the matter should be
let out and the just claims against
the party ought to be settled.
We intend to help the democrats
agitate the matter until we are con-
WINGED that nothing can be accom-
plished. But if we learn of any
crookedness in handling money here
by our leaders, they shall have the
benefit of our efforts to relegate them
to the rear. Six men here are sus-
pected of receiving or knowing Of
money coming here to pay Legitimate
expenses. All of them may be inno-
cent. If so it should be known
Some of them will expect appointment
under the incoming administration.
If a man will not manage and adj
minister small fund for a party, he
certainly is unfit to hold a public Office.
If another, knowing of the misappro-
priatlon, receives or refuses to receive
any part of it, yet keeps it concealed,
is guilty and unworthy the confidence
of his party. A man who conceals
stolen property is guilty by the law.

All things considered, the Repub-
licans have done remarkably we'll in
North Carolina. There is no cause
for encouragement. The possession
of the National government puts the
Republican party in a position to
maintain its organization and contest
the State again in 1890. In order to
make successful fight in November,
1890. the Republicans must espouse
the cause of Prohibition as a State
measure, and an amendment to the
State Constitution to this effect must
be advocated by the Republicans in
their campaign two years hence, and
an aggressive fight made for this great
moral reform. The Republican party
has all to make and nothing to lose by
a vigorous onslaught ON the liquor
interest throughout the State. If the
issue IS forced on this question the
color line and other dead issues will
be driven out of discussion and the
struggle will be decided ON principle
and not because of appeals to passion
and race prejudice What have the
Republican papers of the State to say
as to this suggestion? Let them speak
Out-nOw is the time. We hope every
Republican who has an opinion on this
subject will write us with permission
to print his views.-Raleigh Signal.

gentleman we will say, we were not.
We were looking for voters and try

While we spent the greater part of the

quently to the different voting places
in the city and saw who was at work.
We were not for sale and had better
sense than look for money from our
own party on election day.
We are different from the editor Of
the Chronicle. We are voter; we
run our own paper as matter of bust
ness we were not hired by demo-
cratic nor republican campaign Doodle;
we are at home and dare tell our own
party of its faults as soon as anybody
else. We know those men could
not be seen on election day. because
we were often at the places they ought
to have been and asked after them.
They were inquired for because they
should have been at the polls or some
place giving assistance to the party.

it was hoped that the attempt to trans
plant it from American to African soil
would succeed, and that It would take

vain. But we see it all now: it was
not made to flourish and grow in

planted that it might flourish in the

did the other chores. But now his freckled

Samuel Gompers, its national president,
said last week that the federation had not
only increased in membership during the past
year, but it has experienced less labor trouble
from the bosses than during any year Of its
existence The organization stands on 9
broad platform, and one Of the reasons for
its success is the fact Of its antagonism to
strikes.
1--WE do not believe in that mode OF settle
ment,n said Mr. Gompers, Except as a last
resort and after every other possible means
has failed
The Federation believes in the autonomy
of each trade, and fights shy of the one man
power. 1t is an open and above board or
ganization. and, unlike the Knights Of Labor,
ignores secrecy. The latter body has fought
against the. Federation from its incipiency,
but the open organizations have not retail
ated. AS a consequence the knights of La
Dor have fallen OFF from over /, 0O0, 900 menu
bers to less than 250, 600, while the Federation
