Dockery the demagogue now under
stands that the people of North Caro-
lima, the farmers especially, are not
such fools as he took them to be. He
tried to work ali sorts of tricks on them
to get elected but failed most igno-
mlniously. His claims to being a
farmer and an Alliance man didn't
take with that class he vas trying to
hoodwlEk into supporting him on those
grounds. In the West he worked his
''farmer' racket wherever he went but
the votes prove that he found compar-
atively Few suckers for his bate. Here
is a sample Of his flimsy talk on this
''point," as he seemed to think il would
be, but Col. DoCkery reckoned wrongly.
y correspondent of the Statesville
Landmark, writing from Murphy, re-
ports him as saying this in one of MS
speeches, and he sang about the same
tune wherever be went. SAID the
create? farmer Of the Pee Dee:
Il repeatedly declined the nomina-
ton rendered me by the Republican
party, and at the last Republican State
convention Twas nominated, but would
not accept the position. As the Dem
ocrats failed to nominate Alexander,
the farmers FIRST choice; and as the
farmers had made up their minds to
elect a farmer Governor this year, and
having been urged to run by the farm
ers OF the State, regardless Of bQ-tr,
and also requested and solicited BY let
tiers and otherwise by many prominent
Democrats after all this | consented
to run. So am before yoa to-day,
being the best farmer in my county,
member OF the Farmers Alliance.

WHILE the GOLD LEAF would have
been better satisfied at the election of
Grover Cleveland, it is not prepared
to believe that the country IS going to
the dogs because of his defeat. We
trust the affairs of the Nation will be
safe in Harrison's hands. At any rate
We can live under an Administration
that anybody else can, and while the
South may feel the change more SEN
sibly let us not take trouble to heart
before it comes. A the Churub4sco,
Indiana, Sunday People says, "This ma
ton is too big too magnificent ; too
glorious, and too sensible for the ele-
vatlon of one set Of office seekers over
another set of Office holders, to affect
its grandeur or its credit for one mo-
ment. There are just about 10000
office holders in this country, and
about ninetyeight thousand of them
don't amount to tinker's dam. The
OF her two thousand run, as the saying
is, the government. There's just sixty
million people who watch these two
thousand, and keep them in the way
they should so. 1t is the duty Of all
Democrats, then, to accept the result
as cheerfully as they can, and to grit
their teeth and make up their minds
that four years hence they will again
meet the Republicans in battle and
Try to recover the executive control oil
tiie government.

We are glad TO hear additional tes-
timony to the splendid work Of that
bold and fearless champion and advo
cate Of a white mans government,
Hon. ". II. kitchin, Of orr native
county Of Halifax. If We had more
men like him in North Carolina the
country would be better of. A cor
respondent ofthe Statesville Landmark,
writing just on the eve of the election,
said this of Capt. kitchin
Capt. Kitchin's work in the West has
been remarkably successful. He has
done more for Democratic principles
and in correcting and denouncing the
lies and ISLANDERS of the Republican
speakers, than any other Democratic
orator who has ever Canvassed these
mountains.

An Infuriased Father Tries to Murder

 CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-While the moon was shining brightly at midnight on November 2 man placed a ladder against the side of Expressman Thomas Walshs house and climbed into the window of the room occu- pied by MT. Walsh's sfeurteen-year- daugh- ter Annie. The footsteps of the intruder aweke her. Before she could cry out the man seized her by the throat and attempted to assault her. The next morning the girl said that her assailant was James Britton, who had worked for MT. Walsh. The night before Walsh and Britton quarrslled and came to blows. Walsh was badly beaten in the fight, and when he washed the blood from his face he discharged his belligerent smploye. Britton threatened vengeance and it was supposed that the assault on little Annie was part of his revenge. He was ar- rested last Thursday. His case was called in the criminal court. Witnesses proved that Britton was playing cards on Madison street
 at the time the assault was said to
 have been committed. The jury retired last
 night and returned a sealed verdict this
 morning acquitting the prisoner. When the foreman read the verdict Walsh, who was greatly agitated, jumped to his feet and drawing long revolver leveled the barrel at Britton. The prisoner fell upon the floor. The jurors leaped out of their pens and the spectators turned over the chairs in 8 frantic rush for the door. Bailif Best threw l himself upon Walsh and got hold of his hand. Bailiff Seanlan flung his arms about WaIsh's neck, while Mrs. Walsh and her daughter fell upon the desperate man. "Let me kill himi'' Walsh cried. Lei me kill the man that ruined my daughter He has ruined her. Let me kill him, say. l The man struggled furiously, and while SAs bailiffs were trying their utmost to wrent l the revolver loose from him the weapon wa I turned upon Judge Clifford, who hid behind | his desk.
