PROHIBITIONIsTs. WAIT.

There are few colored prohibi-
tionists in this county and elsewhere
who read this paper. We want to
say to them, in our judgment it is
their duty to vote the republican
ticket this time and wait till next year
to show the country how strong they
are. That is all they hope to do.
They don't expect to elect anybody,
but their votes taken from DOckcry
may cause his defeat. Don't you
remember Dockery was beaten for
Congressman at Large six years ago
by only 400 yotesl He is stronger
now than then. Your votes may be
the deciding votes. You know we'll
Mr.. Walker cannot be elected. Then
suppose you give al your strength TO
Charlotte messenger. [volume] (Charlotte, Mecklenburg Co., N.C.) 1882-18??, 1888-11-03

Fisk, from whose vote the estimate
will be made any way, and vote for
Dockery?
1t is important that the. republicans
redeem this State government. We
have great hopes of doing SO now,
but our friends should not desert us
in this hour of need, simply to crafty
an ambition in a fruitless fight. We
appeal to colored prohibitionists to
think. If you will not vote for
Harrison, give us one vote for Dock
cry. Don't throw away vote when
it might count so much by casting it
another way. The prohibition votes
may be all that is needed to elect
Dockery. We know Mr.. Fisk to be a
great and good man and dolnot ask
now for more than your vote for
Dockery. Haven't you thought al
ready? Lend US your aid colored
prohibitionists and we hope to be all
together in the next two years. Vote
for Dockery now.

ClereIand,s EaiIure as a Reforner.

Frank I.eslie's illustrated Newspaper.
There can hardly be doubt that
the success Of the democracy in 1884
was due to the belief of the indie
pendent voters in this and other States
that Mr.. Cleveland would faithfully
carry out the pledges he made to en-
force the Ciyil-seryicc Act, and make
capacity and integrity the supreme
test in all appointments to Office.
These pledges were positive and en-
phatic. They were without qualiii-
cation of any sort How have they
been kept? One or two illustrations
will afford sufficient answer to this
question. Mr., Cleveland has been in
Office three years and half, and out
of So, $50 postmasters who were in
office when he entered upon his duties,
AZ, 942 have been removed for partisan
reasons. Take another branch of the
public service. There is not custom
house collector or customs surveyor
who was on duty when Mr.. Cleveland
took his seat who is in Office today,
and out of all the collectors ofinternal
revenue in the country when he as
sumed the duties of President, but
one remains. Now, these wholesale
removals have not occurred by acct
dent They are the result of n de-
libcrate partisan policy-a policy
which subordinates the public interests
to partisan ends 1t goes without
saying that no man who honestly
desires to hasten the divorce Of our
public service from politics, and
stamp out the odious spoils system,
can vote to continue an Administration
which. in violation Of solemn pledges
has enormously increased the difficulty
Of achieving that result

FALLEN ASLEEP.

The Angel of Death has never rid
den and snatched more constantly and
rapidly in this community, (cxcept in
times of disastrous epidemics) as he
has for the past few weeks; and, on
Saturday morning Oct. 10Th, at /
o'clock, while the world with its busy
and heavy cares seemed sleeping, the
home of one of Wilmington's most
trusted and loved citizens, Mr.. j Il.
Sampson, Register Of Deeds for New
Hanover county, was visited and the
beloved wife of many years was called
from suffering to happiness-from
earth to Heaven.
Never was greater gloom cast
over one little city than that caused
by the loss of this estimable lady; for
since her advent to this city as bride
from Charleston, S. c., her quiet, yet
great deeds of love and charity have
been innumerable.
To know her, was to love her and
though of the old, artistic and refined
family of DeRecfs, in South Carolina,
and connected with an equally highly
respected family (Sampsons of North
Carolina) she was never too busy, too
much engaged, or weary to listen to,
sympathize with, and help a fellow
creature, as was testified by the large
coucourse of mourning friends of both
races, and all grades of society, on
the day of her funeral. Men and
women from the higher walks of life,
merchants and laborers, wives and
widows, we'll dressed children and
street waits, sheriff and criminal alike
crowded around her resting place feel
ing the same great and painful loss,
shedding the same sincere tear, and
using the same meant expression,
"My friend is gone.
Mrs. Sampson has been i'll for some
time and those who knew and loved
her, hardly thought that she'd be
restored to her accustomed place
around the Preside. in church and
society, and yet-and yet--we had so
earnestly hoped and prayed for her
recovery; and yet we would not CON-
plain, for we "Know what Ger bcfall-
eth, Jesus doth all things we'll"
Mrs. Sampson was about so years
old. and spent the better part Of her
life "Going about doing good" in
the city of Wilmington.
Her funeral ceremonies was held in

1t is very fortunate for the city Of
Wheeling that the electric light which
she las admittedi in competition with
her GAS business is no better than il is.
Otherwise the city would have lost more
of her custom than she has in which
case the reminder Of the folly Of admit
ting the competition would have been
all the sharper.
Isit to be expected that the electric
light which has been introduced into
this city will remain as it is, without
improvement? The men who are inter.
ested in the enterprise are business men,
quick as anybody to appreciate its de
iecls and most DESTROYS Of all to remedy
them. They will not allow their plant
to fall to the value Of old junk because
it is not at once ill that it ought to be.
Having made the start, they will per
sewers until they get as good an electric
light rs can be had.
II is one OF the hard facts of the time
that the electric light is pushing sas
light. For some purposes it is even now
preferred in Wheeling, Notwithstanding
It's defects. 1t will be preferred more
as it improves. Proftins by experience
here and elsewhere, the city can put in
plant that will give at the start better
satisfaction than the one now in use.
The plain English Of the situation i.
that the city must protect itself againsi
the destruction Of the valuable business
it has in supplying light. This is what
any one or more Of her citizens would dc
being similarly situated.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted?
Iiyou will remember u few years ago
the word Malaria WAS comparatively un-
known-to-day it is rs common as any
word in the English language. yet this
word covers only the meaning Of another
word used by our forcfathCrs in times
past. So it is with nervous diseases, as
they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called BilioHsReSs,
and all are caused by troubles that arise
from Il diseased condition Of tho Liver
which in performing its functions finding
it cannot dispose OF the bile through the
ordinary channel is compelled TO pass it
oifthrough the system, causing nervous
troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc.

issue was practically determined before

turns we're in 1t was very clear that they
were in error who thought that 'any

II will not do to take liberties with the

to make Il nomination on the theory that
"ahy Republican can carry the district
for, SO far rs We have any reliable data
to Judge from, this Is not correct state
ment Of the case. II this district Is to
be held in the Republican column, Il
can only be by nominating the strongest
man in the district who can be induced
to accept the nomination.
At this time We doubt whether any
body in the district is wise enough Il
know Just who this man is, nor can thi
important fact be got at with reasonable
certainty until the representative mel

George Gray, the bright young coiored
man who took his life because OF a wo-
man, left n note in which he said:
'SIinc is the type OF a bright future ru-
incd by Il woman" Probably the wo-
mans life had been ruined by man be-
fore she ruined Gay's. Such things
work about that way, but the world does
not much concern itself about the wo-
man who falls below tho line Of respect
ability.
The man who gets into Il scrape Of this
kind is regarded as Il much more impor-
tant iactor in the general makeup of So
ciety. When he is disgraced, when he
is driven to take his life, something is
thought to be out Of gear; and so there
is. But the something begins to go
wrong before the disgrace OF life or Of
death attracts the worlds attention. II
Gray were alive he could tell what that
something is. He could tell OF nights OF
orgies, OF all sorts Of dissipation Centercd
about the woman.
Gray is gone, but others remain who
are travelling the same stony path. They
won't all take their lives. Some OF them
will live on to make other lives misen-
bic. Some OF the Grays aru black, but
more OF them are white. Some OF them
are not suspected, but more are suspect

SIN: The following dispatch appeared
in the Sunday Register:
"FAiRMoXr, W. Va, July 2s.-The Re
publican primaries for delegates to che
various conventions were held In the
several districts Of this county to-day.
The main contest was for the Judicial
nomination between MessH. Moore and
Hagans. Reports from the various dis
tricts, as far as received te.night, indi-
cate that Moore has the call on Hagans
for Judge.
For Congress, Thomas II. B. Staggers
lias undoubtedly carried the county by
large majority. His friends claim Is
ont Of a possible Coyotes. The con.
yention Of this place was largely atten.
iIed and the contest bitter. The Prohi.
bitiOn fusion ring went one way, and the
straight-outs the other. The friends OF
Mr.. Stnggers are iubilant tonight, and
claim that his nomination for Congress
is fixed fact"
We were present at the Republican
primary on Saturday p,m II there was
any passion apparent We failed to see II
or know anything about 1t. We never
saw a more goodnatured meeting. There
was nothing to indicate bad humor by
any one. Nor was there any indication
TO show that one or another OF the
gentlemen spoken ofiortheJndiciary wa
favored. It is very certain that when
the above dispatch was written, there
had not been a primary outside Of Fair
mont heard from. Il may be that every
delegate from this county to the Con
gressional convention will vote for Mr.
Stageers, but we don't know Of one who
will support him. The author Of the
dispatch above either knew better oil
knew nothing about 1t. Truth.
