ANOTHER APPEAL FOR BLhNE.-The New
York tribune Of yesterday has an editorial
from which we copy As follows;
alt il not enough to say that man would
make a good President. II he would not
make a good candidate, il may be OF no
consequence at all what sort OF President he
would make
That's good word for BLAINE. Wecopy
again;
"Candidates who lean toward the Demo-
cratic side on the vital question OF this year
cannot represent the Republican party II II
means 10 win
Tuars blow at GRESHAM. We copy once
more:
"The talk OF favorte sons and ozark
horses misses the imperative demand Of the
OCCASION"
ThSts a bit at SHERVIN, ALGER, ALLISON,
HAWLEY. HARRISON, and all the rest. The
article concludes for BLAINE ar it begins for
BLAINE. We quote:
"But it appears TO be the deliberate iudg.
ment OF the Republican party, a. it surely
ought to be. that the national emergency
should be met 10y the nomination OF that
candidate who Will render the triumph oil
the national cause most certain; that the
convention ought 10 ask not whether this OF
that worthy and competent man might pos
siby be elected, but which Of the worthy
and competent candidates can be elected
most surely. The candidate who will con-
ceutrate the largest force IN favor Of The
protection Of home industry in the States
which are doubtful is the candidate ioI
whom the convention ought to seek with
care, with patience, and with absolute cam
dor and impartiaIity Of judgment"

No Free Trade.

The Commercials Gazette is evidently hard
run. 1t says OF the Democratic platform:
at commits the Democratic party abso-
lutelv TO the bodest and widest expression
Of imprscticable free-trsde doctrine ever ex'
pressed in the country"
Oh, no. You hoped for a platform that
could be denounced as a free.trade platform,
but ySu were disappointed. The President
in bis last annual message, which you say
the platform was framed to SUIT, headed oil
this contention. He said:
"The question Of free trode IS o6Soi'"e!V
irreierqnt and the persistent claim made IN
certain quarters that sl efforts to relieve the
people from unjust aud Unnecessary taxa
ton are schemes Of so-cslled Free Traders IS
mischieveu, and far removed from any con-
slderation Of the public good.'

AFTER BLAINE, BL4Nr.-A Washington

AFTER BLAINE, BLAINE.-A Washington
Letter says:
"The most knowing members Of the Re-
publican party here seem TO think that the
wisest course for that party to pursue, in
consequence Of the unanimity with which
the IT. Louis ticket was nominated, will be
TO follow that example, and when all the va
riouS aspirants for the nomination ut Chicago
shall have been named in the convention,
some distinguished member will rise aud
move that the strongest man and the most
magnetic, Mr.. Blaine. be nominated by sccla-
NATION, and that thai motion Will be adopted
with huTT2h; and that the ticket will be
completed In the same way by the nomlna-
ton OF General Harrison, OF Indiana
why not? PATRICK FORD, in long leader
in the irish World. declares that Republican
success without Mr. BLAINE is doubtful, and
insists that Mr.. BLAINE must be nominated.

ALEXANDER, THE COMING MAN

AS the Time Tor the nomination OF
a candidate for Governor approaches,
the interest among the respective
friends of the different aspirants, in.
creases. The other positions to be
filed at the election seem to be for.
gotten. In this section there has
never been such deep and active in
terest manifested by the farmers in
the matter of a choice for Governor.
Never were they so nearly a unit.
They put forth the very reasonable
claim that they should be represented
in the Gubernatorial chair. They
bring forward a man upon whose
record and character there is no blur
or blemish-a heightened, educated
gentleman, a practical and successful
farmer, a man of splendid ability and
whose whole life has endeared him to
the noble people among whom he was
raised and among whom he has lived,
and who will testify their esteem for
him by their undivided and enthusi-
astic support. Such a nan is Capt.
Alexander, the farmers favorite.
He has not sought this prominence.
He says in the Charlotte Democrat of
last week that he has not sought it:
that he has not written a line to any
one in regard to it, except in reply to
letters on the subject, but if the nomi-
nation were rendered him it would be
an honor he would appreciate and
would not feel at liberty to decline.
Such is the man whom the farmers
and industrial and business people of
the State ask to be made Governor.
We regret to learn that in certain
sections his record on the fence law.
and his position on the homestead law
is being persis.ently misrepresented in
interest of certain other candidates.
The best answer to all this can be
very easily in has record, and in
the action of the townships of Wake
on last Wednesday. IS That
record has been published and shows
hat the tence-law had been IN operation
gears before he anne to RALEIGH as a

in the Commercial world about five
hundred thousand dollars in cash as a
guarantee fund. It has besides all
this the largestimplement, machinery
and hardware house in the South or
Southwest, and which did a business
of over two hundred thousand dollars
during. last month. These are the
more prominent features of the bust
ness system of the order in the State
of Texas, to say nothing of the hun
dreds of smaller enterprises now being
prosecuted.
In the other States the order is
catching the spirit of their brethren
in the clone STAR State and are
preparing to move along the same
line as fast as they become able to do
so. In our own State the growth of
the order has been almost marvellous.
At the organization of the State ALI
ance on the 4th Of October last, there
was, scarcely a thousand members in
the State to-day we feel safe in saying
that we number over thirty thousand
members, and "still they come"
Already the brethren are becoming
FESTIVE and want to move. We are
daily receiving letters enquiring as to
when we can start our Business Sys-
tenn, and offering to advance money
to give our State Agency commercial
rating and standing in the world of
trade. Some of the brethren have
taken the initiative in establishing
manufacturing enterprises. Mecklen-
burg is moving for a roller Touring
mill and a cotton yard. Auburn ALI
ance, in Wake, has raised a consider
able sum towards establishing a cot.
ton seed oil mill and other enterprises
in other portions of the State are con-
templated. r:.
We are glad to announce to the
brethren throughout the State that at
a very early day an address on the
important subject of the State Business
Agency will be issued to them by our
State Executive Committee. The
outlook for the order is as
ing and hopeful in our State as it's
most ardent friends could desire.

representative, and the people of Wake
on last Wednesday (outside Of Raleigh
answered the charge overwhelmingly
by declaring almost unanimously thai
he rs their first choice for Governor. He
is a man Of the people, wsM the people,
and for the people, and the people

Never have we seen such an en-.

interest is spreading and growing and

"THE GOVERNOR"

Under the above caption, the Hick.
Dry Clipper, having under discussion
the names Of the three leading gentle
men who are now. mentioned in con
INJECTION with the Democratic nomina.
ton for GovernorLFowle, Steadman
and Alexander-closes it's article in
these words: 4
We are very much mistaken. in
summing up the signs of the times if
Alexander don't count as manv
friends, in the nominating convention
as either one of the others.
The farmers of the country are pre-
senting the name of Alexander as
their choice and they compose the
great bulk Of the party. They have
stood by the party through thick and
thin, and have. been modest in their
demands in the past, but they will
now feel greatly disappointed if they
fail to be heard in this instance.
We are in favor of the nomination
of Mr., Alexander, however, not be.
cause he is a farmer, but because we
believe that he will prove the strong
est man withfthe masses of any man
yet mentioned. He has no record to
defend and is fully able to cope with
any candidate that may be put up
against HIM, and the masses will rally
to his standard, if nominated and give
to Democracy a rousing victory. We
believe that the nomination of Alex
ander would insure the success of the
Democratic party in North Carolina.

A MOST ENJOYABLE OCCASION

AS a rule, our farmers and their
families have less of social intercourse
and pleasure than any other class of
people. Hence when they arrange
for a social gathering and comming-
ling, they enjoy it with a zest that's
really refreshing. On Saturday, the
