State; and all such are urged to go to the
polls and give them deserved endorsement.
1t Is submitted with all confidence that
President Cleveland has redeemed his
promise made on his nomination ard at
his inan nguration to conduct the govern
ment of the United States on business
prime pies He has never forgotten that
pub Il" office Is a public trust" to use his
own IL kim, and that one who is entrusted
with the conduct of a great government
should employ at least that measure of
watchfunesS, prudence, economy and
falthfulness i'll the discharge of his duties
that is expected Of one who has the direc-
ton and control of the affairs of an
ordinary person or corporation. Whether
it suited political friend or foe, he has
executed the laws as he found them in the
statute book, in manner to command
the applause of the law abiding Of all
parties. His courage, industry. faithful
ness and capacity for labor have been be
yond all praise. Millions Of money have
already been saved by reforms instituted
under his administration, and the depart
mentS at Washington have been and are
being purified of much rottenueSS and
corruption which had accumulated under
Republican administrations. By his re-
cognition of the South as an integral part
Of the country, with equal rights, by
selecting members of his cabinet, and ap-
pointing foreign ministers and a Supreme
Court Judge from Southern States. he has
put an end to sectionalism, We hope, for
ever. The bloodyshirt can never be raised
rallyiug banner again.
Some, conceding that the present Con
gress, of which only the Lower House is
Democratic, has, under Democratic iunu-
euce, done much for the benefit Of the
country : for example, passing laws where
bs over 30, 600, 600 acres OF land granted
to railroad companies on condition and
unearDed by them were declared forfeited
and thereby saved for actual settlers: Ger
tain bills for the p,o, ection of labor, etc.
yet complain that the Democrats have
net abolished the internal revenue system
and reduced the tariff to a revenue basis,
with only incidental protection to our in
dustries. To them we reply that the only
hope to do these things is in the Demo
cratic party and not in that party which
is responsible for the system and iuaugu-
rated these high protective tariffs; and
that our congressman from this State, at
least have done their duty in trying to
abolish the one and ameiorate the other;
and it becomes us to see that good Demo
Gratis are AGAIN sent to Congress, with
renewed instructions to exert all their in
haence toward the attainment of these
desired ends,
In our address four years ago we assured
the public that the sO-called Liberal party
existed but in name. So now We assure
them that the so-called Prohibition party
exists in name only. Four of the candi
dates on the ticket are from the county OF
Guiiford, and yet that is called a State
ticket.

about 90, 00G majority, and The Legislature
ove[ two-thlrdo Democratic was returned,
while we sent Democratic Congress men
from eight ont of our nine districts. This
was done by organization and hard work.
Let Us now see TO it that our organization
is preserved and let us again 90 to work.
It is now three months to the day Of elec-
ton, and TO make sigma! victory at all
points certain we must redeem the time,
every day of it. Every good citizen owes
it TO patriotism to vote, and To vote intel
ligently and right. He should infoi m
himself and his neighbors on the public
issues beforehand, and when the day Of
election comes he should give it, or al
least part of it, to his country. If he
fails in this and bad men are elected OF
bad laws made he has no right to com
plain. He has neglected to do his duty
So, With organized work, we will again
succeed Let the Democratic clubs aid
aud work under the direction of the town

/ ship committees see that every Democrat
and every one who can be persuaded tC
| vote the Democratic ticket, is properly
registered, and has the opportunity II get
/ to the polls and vote. Let these commit

| county committees, and let the county
! committees report to this committee
| Then, on election day, let every Democrat
| do his duty, and the State will be safe il
Democratic hands for four years longer
and we will be assured of good conserva
