GENERAL POLITICAL NOTES.

The joint canvass between Fowle and
Dockery, Democratic and Republican can
didates respectively for Governor of North
Carolina, closed at Mooresville last Satur-
day.
"A body of 1877 colored Cleveland men
who paraded in New York on Thursday
were assaulted, and some of them badly
hurt with stones, by colored Republicans.
The police, however, hammered some of
the rioters fearfully.
The Texas Republican State conven-
ton, called at Fort Worth to nominate a
State ticket, adjourned last Friday, after
adopting a resolution declaring it inexpe-
dent to put up a State ticket, owing to
the fact that there is no reasonable proba-
bility of election. A resolution was adopt
ed endorsing the national Republican
ticket.
- Our neighboring county, CASTOR, N.
c., is aroused. DIR. G.. w. Sanderlin, can
didate for State auditor, spoke to about
two thousand people at Gastonia last Fri
day. There was a grand procession in
which 1876 men ~(actual COUNT rode. The
Democrats are thoroughly aroused and
better united than they have been since
the war. Mr.. Sanderlin made one of the
best speeches of his life. There were one
dozen Gastonia bellies on horseback in the
procession.

NOTES FROM UNION COUNTY.

ETA JANE, September give had
twenty consecutive days OF cloudy and
rainy weather. Our farmers have gone
to picking cotton, pulling fodder, etc. The
cotton which was open before, or which
opened during the bad spell of weather, is
scarcely worth gathering. Much of the
seed is sprouting. Fodder has rOtted upon
the stalks and is also worthless. Some of
u rfarmers think they will yetsave some OF
their corn along the creeks and river. For
the last three years farming upon the bot
tom lands has been a failure, and but few
will be found to risk those lands nextyear.
The freshet of last year and year before
run several good hands off the river to the
uplands.
The Draytonville neighborhood has been
in some excitement over the reported lind

ports circulated about it.. 1t appears that

NOTES FROM BLACKS.

BLACKS, September 24.--Since the great
rains have ceased and the floods have
abated, our farmers are more hopeful than
they were some time ago. The cotton
crop is better than was expected some
time since, and corn on the low bottom
land is better than usual. So far as we
can learn, the farmers on Broad river, as
we'll as those on Buffalo, are not damaged
as badly as was thought two weeks ago
There will be a fair yield Of cotton on the
uplands on Broad river, as we'll as a good
corn crop. The lands on Buffalo being in
a worse condition there will not be much
fodder saved, nor grass of any kind.
This place was in a great state of excite
ment over the fall and bruises which
Capt. P. T. Savage received yesterday
evening by jumping from a freight train
which was in motion. His foot caught,
and only by great efforts he saved himself
from falling under the cars.
Dat sowing is in progress now. Our far;
mers are sendingto Virginia for their seed
wheat.
The Farmers Alliance will meet at

NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS.

The national Democratic committee is
sued an address last. Saturday from their
headquarters in New York, addressed to
the people ofthe United States, II is sign
| ed by William H. Barnum, chairman, and
| Calvin 8. Brice, chairman of the campaign
committee.
The address begins by alluding to the
evident wish of the great majority of the
Democratic party, at the end of C~leveland's
third year in office as President, that he
should be elected for a second term. 1t
touches on the rugged integrity and able
and long Continued public service of Allen
G.. Thurman as his claims as the party's
choice for Vice President. Nextthe COM
mittee, after promising that it will do its
utmost duty, appeals to all whose convic-
tons it represents, to aborcollectively and
individually for the election of Cleveland
and Thurman, and thus secure a cOntin-
uance of the blessings of good government,
the honest, able and wholly unselfsh adj
ministration of President Cleveland. 1t
then reminds the members of the party
that their first duty is thorough and COM
plete organization. Every one who thinks
Cleveland and Thurman should be elected
ought to belong to an organization in his
own neighborhood.
Referring to the tariff question, it says
that the present surplus of the treasury
proves the necessity for a reduction in the
tax, deplores the action Of the Republican,
Senate, which refuses to reduce the aver
age tariff dues from 47.l0 to 42.49 per cent.
Trusts are declared to be the outcome Of
high duties, and ifthe Republicans achieve
power, the rich would become richer and
the poor poorer. Itthen alludes to the large
sums which corporations and persons who
profit by the needless eXactions of the ex-
listing tariff laws are prepared to spend to
help the election of the Republican candi-
dates, and appeals to the members Of the
Democratic party for p~ecuniary assistance
for the purpose of printing and circulating
campaign documents and for other legiti-
mate purposes. 1t then alludes to the
freedom of those in Office under Demo-
cratic administration from eXactions for
campaign purposes, and contrasts this
record with that of the Republican party
at former Presidential elections. In con-
c%lusion, it appeals to that ''vast body of
earnest men who have learned in the toll
and struggle of daily life to estimate good
government at its true worth, and whose
love of home and country will prompt
them to contribute, each according to his
means, to the expenses of a canvass of such
moment and extended oyar so great a
territory"
