but throughout the Union as well. But
lie is that Hon Abram S. Hewitt, Mayor
| of New York, and candidate for re cleo
ton. would not support Cleveland. The
Mayor was interviewed and he responded
in emphatic, if not in elegant terms. He
said, shortly and sharply: cts lie, a
-lier' and refused to talk further about
it.
THE REPUBLICANS ARE driven to the
wall. They have two maxim~: "Claim
everything and s'lie like Sheol and stick to
it." They see that a number Of Republi-
| cans have left the party and in order to
offset the bad effect of this deserton of
their party, they PRIVATELY circulate the
report that this and that Democrat has
joined their party. PRIVATELY, we say
because they know that pnblic state
| ment would draw forth denial and their
lying would be exposed. Recently they
have been circulating report that Mr..
L. Banks Holt, of Alamance. brother of
| the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, had Joined their party. Mr..
Holt is out in a card in which he indig-
! nantly denies that he has Joined the Radi-
cal party. He says:
! At no time has it ever been possible for
me to jOIu the REPUBLICAN party, much
| less the Radical party of North Carolina
| disreputable even in the sight of Republi-
| cans. Interested in agriculture and man
ufacturing, fail to see where the Repub-
| lican policy protects me or high taxes
| benefit anybody. or how any lover of good
| government and home protection could
risk the chance of Radical Rule liz
! NORTH CAROLINA.
| The Statesville Landmark advises the
voters OF the Fourth and Fifth district to
! elect Democrats to Congress, because dur
| ing the present Congress Mr.. Henderson
has been representing three districts, bis
own, the Fourth and the Fifth The Raj
| eigh and Green sboro districts failed to
elect Representatives two years ago, when
| the opportunity TO do SO was offered them.
| and then turned to Mr.. Henderson to rep
resent them; but he is one of the most
| oblioing Of gentlemen, as we'll as one Of
gressmen, and has served them with
/ pleasure to himself and satisfaction to
them. The burden of doing would have
been very great to an indoient man, but
| he is a tireless worker, ana has found time
to meet all the demands upon him, and to
meet them we'll
It is none of our business, to be sure,
nevertheless we take the liberty to suggest
/ very respectfully TO the voters Of Fourth
| and Fifth Congressional districts that in
as much as the government is paying for
them salaries to two persons for holding
down chair each in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes those chairs had as we'll be oc-
cupied by gentlemen who would give Mr..
Henderson little assistance occasionally.
Messrs B H. Bum and J. I. Morehead
| would be about the right men for the bust
+, ness. and if our friends of the Fourth and
| Fifth districts think well of the sugges
ton we would be pleased 70 see them act
upon it in November
THE MOST CHEERING indication of the
election prospect we haye yet seen is the
| recent charter election in Newark, n. J
The lines were tightly drawn between the
two parties, and the Democrats carried the
CITY by a majority of GOO. This was
| Democratic gain of $500 over the charter
election of 1884 1t is the first time il
its history that the city has gone Demo
cratic prior to a Presidential election. This

and takes it out of the list of doubtful
States Senator Barnum says that the
true significance Of the victory III Newark
'sis not restricted to New Jersey. 1t mean:
that New York and Connecticut will sure
ly 90 for Cleveland and Thurman. II
Presidential elections New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut hang together anC
cast their votes in favor Of the same can
didates The workingmen of Newark were
not only unterrified by the Republican AS
sertions that the Mills bill means fret
trade, but they have Investigated th'
Question for themselves and have aSct +
tanned that its enactment will tend to thei
advantage. They are not alone among
the wor.ingmen of this country in reach
ing these conclusions. Newark is one o
the twenty great manufacturing centre
Of this country 1t is full Of ~orkingmen
Had they been alarmed by the Republican
cries they would have voted solidly &c
the Republican ticket. They were no
alarmed, and neither are the workingmel
of New York and Connecticut alarmed
Tho Newark election WAS the first dIrpc
fest of the effects of the tariff scare whic
the Re )ublicans have tried to raise, atI'
it was of no avail. 1t has demonstrate
that the National victory will be ours
