A long bhndana United the two
parts of the Grand Central hotel
Yesterday. the connecting bridge
forming very shining link in the
bright chain.
We know of a gentleman in this
city, who will het from one thou
sand TO five thnusanu dollars on
Cleveland's election. Radicals are
requested to put up or shut up.
Rollins school "yarn" was about
the only good thing he got off in
his entire harangue yesterday. It
made tears come to the eyes, of the
over-sympathetic ''coons" seated on
the left side.
There will be regular meeting of
the Independent Hook and Ladder
Co., (the new company, at the May

basket is their destination. We
must have responsible names,

Yesterday was perfect in its beau-
ty, almost too bright to be marred
with work, or given up to tue heats
of party warfare; nevertheless it
was just such q day to receive ad-
ditional Drilliancy from the elo-
quence of Zebulon B. Vance.
We had a pleasant call yesterday
from Mr.. Lloyd Breeze, the agent of
the Sol Russell combination. Mr..
Breeze comes with something more
than the eclat of a theatrical asso~
citation. He is, or has been, MEM
Der of the press, for several years
connected with the Detroit Free
Press, and lastly with the Grand
Rapids Te:egram-HeraId.
There is some little confusion
here in speaking of the depots, OF
which there are three, besides that
at the junction. There is the "old
depot" at the iron bridge; there is
the joint passenger and freight de-
pot near the foot of Depot street;
and there is the new passenger de-
pot nearly ready for use. Soon there
will be no confusion; for there will
be the "old depot" the freight de-
pot" and the passenger depot
each sufficiently defined in charac-
ter.
1t is the good fortune of the dem
ocratic candidates for Office in Buns
combe county not to be open to the
terrible arraignment of personal
character as were made by Mr.. Tom
Gambler, involving Mr.. Lon Wells,
at the discussion at Fairview on
Saturday; and it is an equally hap
py fortune that such arraignment
was made of one republican by an
other, and was not the outcome oI
party heat and hostility. We for
bear farther reference to a most un-
pleasant affair.
Dave Leecraft, a colored porter
at Charlotte, who has declared he
will vote for Cleveland, has received
threatening letters, ornamented with
a coffin, both coming from his own
color. The colored editor of a pa.
per printed in Goldsboro says every
negro who votes the democratic
ticket ought to receive thiriy-nine
lashes. If the negro proscribes thus
savagely, can the white man be
| justified in voting with a party SC
largely made up of negroes2 Is i
to be always that the white is to &c
to the black, while the black will
never come to the white ?
