who are convinced,
That the legal suppression Of the traffic
in alcoholic drinks is the most vital pOliti-
cal issue of the day:
That it can be suppressed only by the
continuous action of 4 party intent on
bringing all departments of government
to bear upon the saloon system: and
That neither the Democratic nor the
Republican party, founded upon issues
which are settled, each now containing a
liquor vote larger than its last ma iority
and daily offering greater bids for the
whole of it, can ever take up the isue
and give the people an enforced Prohibi

course the delegates will vote for him
without instructions. but it would be very
proper for the Democracy of Cumberland,

world how solidly he stands before his
own people for purity, learning, and all
those qualities which make a good and
true man. Judge McRae is pre- eminently
qualified for the elevated position, such as

tion to the Governorship would be not only
simple act of justice to tie man, who
has deserved it by his devotion to his
party, who would so brilliantly lead the

reflect credit upon the State but it would
be likewise an act of iustic, due to the

every battle and who have never f1inched
from any duty, and of whom Maj. Sted

want and that man, if the expression of
preference by the Conventions of nearly

humble citizens of Greene claim we have
the very man for the place in the person
of Capt Wm. A. Darden. The Captain
has tho intellect, the business qualifica
tions, and the honesty, which in these
days should be demanded of every public
servant He is a fine speaker, and can
aud will make the campaign warm for the
Republicans if they so demand. The
Democratic County Convention Of Greene
assembled in Snow Hill to-day and unani-
mously instructed their delegates to the
State Convention to vote for Capt Darden.
/ understand Wilson county is strong for
him. 1t looks well for man to be sus
tanned by his own people, especially when
the people mean what they say, and are
not talking to be heard Capt. Darden
has been so placed as to call forth his
manhood, and every time he has been
equal to the emergency, making reputa-
ton for his people, but losing sight of him
self Now we need men from the people
and of the people and not the tools Of
cliques and rings because there has been
50 much bad lawmaking, and the servants
of the people have proved false in so many
instances tn0t Tue pcOpic are OoCOAiuS
careless and will not 60 to the polls and
vote. We want in the offices of the State
men, that cannot be corrupted, who are
honest from principle and wish to trans
NIT a government under which their pos
terity can live and who will be faithful in
the discharge of their duties. Our man is
= Democrat, was born of Democratic par
ents, rocked in Democratic cradle, rocked
by Democratic hands, has always voted a
Democratic ticket, lives a Democrat, mar
ried Democratic wives, raised Democratic
| children, and is now Democratic widow
| er, expects to marry Democratic widow
aud would, if 1t the North Pole, seek to
| establish a Democratic government, in
other words he is Democrat through and
through. Our man don't expect to be an
eternal holderon to the public teat, but be
will fearlessly discharge the duties OF his
Office looking not to a reelection but to
| the peoples interest. Such man Mr..
