Of their perplexity.
The prominent Young lady who lives not

very rich, he is awfully stylish, and would
have things splendid at the new Gov

receptions every week and each day would
front society with some fresh splendor.
and people would be drawn TO the city
from far and wide by the elegance of his
entertainments. He would do Raleigh
more good than any Governor we ever

lied that he had q marriageable son, by

A word to you, my fellow Prohibitions
lists. You are not wanting il patriotism
the man who says so is ihoughtless. You
are not EMPLOYED by the Radical Party;
he vino so charges Is ignorant of your
character. Nevertheless, the truth is po
tent; your organization is just what the
Radicals deSirt. You overlook this. DR..
Benbow is an eXRepub lean; FEAR THE
GREEKS EVEN BRINGING GIFTS" The one
and noble idea of reScuing man from the
devil of drink engroSseS your soul, and
leaves no room tor other equally impor-
tant questions. There are other ills than
Intemperance. Besides, gentlemen, you
arrogate to yourselves the management of
this issue. !, TOO, am Prohibitonist,
and there are thousands of us in the Dem
OcTatic party. The MAJORITY of the TEN
Derance men Onght to call convention if it
must be called and decide on the feasibil-
ity of a third party. You read us out Of
Your ranks; you damage your own cause.
You ask US TO dOH our Democracy before
YOU will receive U.s. We CAN'T DO IT
There are reasons older than the liquor
traffic that imperatively forbid it. Then
you call us a liquor party. | DENY 1T. The
great mass of our party is composed of the
men who nave made the State what it is;
men on whose hearts lie the burden Of the
public veal 1t is absolutely impossible
for the Democratic Party of North Carolina
TO make common cause with whiskey.
You have forgotten that III 1884 we met
and defeated the LIQOUR LIBERAL PARTY.
To charge us with the defeat of 1881,
would be as illogical as to charge it to the
Methodists or Baptists, simply BECAUSE
THEY HAVE THE LARGEST MEMBERSHIP. If
you really want oar aid, you must not OPP
pose our dearest interest.
Now a word to the Democrats Of North
Carolina. We CANNOT DisBAND. We have
no choice. Power is opportunity; oppor-
tunity is duty. When we accepted the
| trust of the State; when with unfatering
faith she put her hopes in our hands, we
! went too far to turn traitor and lay them
down again. Where can she look but to

cial equality on Us if once in their power.
Most of the Republican States have mixed
schools; some Of them allow ntermarriage
and they regard our inhibition of these
things as tyrannOuS. Besides, never be-
fore has centrilization assumed such alarm
ing proportions. | repeat, We would be
guilty Of irremissibe folly to disband for
any cause, and if we do, We shall deserve
all the bitter consequences sure to follow.

Especial Cor. STATE CHRoNICLEl
Much is now being said in reference to
the selection of the proper man to be nom
mated for Governor. The merits of many
gentlemen have been discussed, and judg
ing from what l know of those mentioned.
and what is said for them by their friends,

ma would be proud. But the question
with me is not so much as to which one

ident of the United States. | want us to
nominate a man who can be elected. Can
we elect any man the party may nominate?
He who thinks so has forgotten the Ben
nett and DOckery campaign, and did not
learn the lesson from the last election that

| need of care in the selection of ticket
| than ever before, for on the ticket nomi-

| in this State among the wOrkingmen and
farmers much Of dissatisfaction and IN
rest and prejudice against lawyers. Now
we may think what we please about the
UNREAsoNABLENEss of this state of mind
on the part of these classes. But you can't
get away from the fact that this feeling
exists, and we may as we'll face it now
Every man who knows anything about
the condition of affairs in North Carolina
knows that this is true. Now then wha,
shall we do about it The people believe
they have been ignored and showed aside
with now and then petty Office given
long enough. They believe somebody else
in the party other than lawyers is entitled
to, and competent to fill, the HIGHEST
places They are asking for the nomina-
ton of one from their ranks to be Govern
or of North Carolina. WHAT ARE WE Go
ING TO DO ABOUT IT? Are we going right
on and pay no attention to their wishes
| If so, we shall suffer defeat in my opinion
Are not the farmers of North Caroline
entitled to have their choice about thi:
matter They have named their man an6

Col towles talked interestingly about
matters at Washington. He Is not able

ton will take at this session, but believes
that the House will pass ? measure at least
as favorable to our people as the internal
revenue part Of the tariff bill agreed on by
the Democratic majority of the ways and
means committee last week He and the
other North Carolina members have de-
clined to pledge themselves to vote against
any amendments hat may be offered when
the tariff and Internal revenue bill is up
for consideration in the House They Will
vote for an amendment proposing TO re-
peal tIe whole system. or for any amend
meut processing 10 repeal any part OF it or
t. modify it in any way. Col. CowleS is
much g atified by the temper OF Mr.. Mills,
the chairman of the ways and means com
mlttee. upon internal revenue matters
Mr. Mills says the internal revenue sYs-
TEN is doomed - hat it is bound to 90. and
he wishes it could be wiped out now; but
he fees that the country is not ready Just
yet for such extreme legislation upon It,.
Personally MIR. Mills is in favor Of the re-
peal of the brandy tax now, along with
the tobacco tax, and so voted in the com
mittee. Col. CoWles represents the anti
internal revenue feeling as growing in
Congress, and says the prospect IS favCla-
Bile now for u ocuring legislation which
was hooted al when proposed in the Forty
ninth Congress. Upon the whole he is
hopeful. He thinks Congress will proba
bly, adjourn before the 1st Of August.

A Warning.

The modes of deaths approach are various,
and statistics show conclusively that more
persons die from diseases of the Throat and
Lungs than any other. 1t is probable that
everyone, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the system
and where these germs fall upon suitable soil
they start into life and develop, at first slowly
and are shown by slight tickling sensation in
the throat and if allowed to continue their
ravages they extend to the lungs producing
Consumption and to the head causing Ca
tarrh, Now all this is dangerous and if al
lowed to proceed will in time cause death.
At the onset you must act with promptness !;
allowing cold to 90 without attention is
dangerous and may lose you your life. As
soon as you feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain a
bottle of BOschee's German Syrnp. 1t will
give you immediate relief.

LONDON, July 3l.--Mr. Blaine, who had
intended to leave London on Sunday and
visit Oxford. Suatford and other places be-
fore arriving at Liverpool, found himself
unable to get away. He remained till to-day,
and left by the noon train for Liverpool. with
Mrs. Blaine, his two daughters and Miss
Dodge. Last evening he dined with Mrs.
Marshall o. Roberts in Grosvenor Square.
The guests were mostly American, including
Mrs. Paran Stevens, Mrs. Mackay, Mr. and
Endicott. Mr.. Blaine's Mugwump friends
who expect 10 see him arrive wreck will
have to endure a surprise. II never was
better, nor in better spirits,' he said last
night He makes no secret of his satisfac-
ton with Mr.. Harrison's nomination, and
proclaims his belief in the certainty of his
election. He will not even admit that the
contest is likely to be close. II have he
said, s.but one answer to such questions
Mr.. Harrison will win" | need not tell you
that Mr.. Blaine goes home to throw himself
heart and soul into the campaign. He is
perfectly satisfied with the issue as now
framed between the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis and their renegade Republican allies.
The free-trade label is on the Democrats,
and there it will stay. We owe something
to the English for supplying the gum which
makes it stick.
Mr. Blaine has been long enough here to
find out what English Free Traders really
men. They are outspoken in public and
private alike. They pour out eulogies on
Mr.. Cleveland, whom they look to as their
standard bearer. He carries the British
Union Jack emblazoned all over with British
Free Trade for America. Mr. Blaine was
not little interested to hear Of The Tribune
Extra ngland's Only Choice"-and of
its remarkable sale on the day of publica-
ton. You are quite right" said he lit is
one more conflict between England and
America, but the English candidate can't be
their hand too plainly" l might quote many
more things Mr.. Blaine said, but he is going
home to say them for himself. He is i'm
patient to get home and join in the fight. He
is as full of energy as he is of confidence.
Don't misunderstood me-" he added. Il
say we are going to win, and so we are, but
we shall win because we are going to make
this fight on square American ISSUE be-
cause we shall make American people under
stand it is their interests we are fighting for
and British interests which the Democrats
are fighting for. We are going to appeal
both to their intelligence and their patriotism
The more audiences we can reach, the larger
will be our majority 1t is not to be won BY
lying down and waiting, but by hard stand
ing fighting and am going to do my share
Great are his enthusiasm and his delight in
the prospect of meeting his opponents; most
of all, fancy, those Mugwumps who have
supposed they could crush him by cam
pagD of calumny in his presence.

II was very obvious to those who OBJ
served the facts, that the Bangor Cleve-
land meeting of Wednesday was a forced
affair. There was nothing spontaneous
in it. 1t was like the driving of recruits
into the Russian army. 1t was so plainly
manufactured affair that it could not
possibly awaken any enthusiasm even
among those who took part in it. \ strik-
ing evidence that the citizens of Maine do
not take kindly to the candidacy of those
who are seeking to sacrifice the agricul-
tural, lumber, and manufacturing inter-
ests of the State to foreigners by Free
Trade and to seriously iniure the fishery in
terests by the Bayard treaty. They do
not think enough of Democracy to be
willing to vote for those who wish to
put their hay, potatoes. lumber, and 9TH
er productions at the mercy of foreign
competition.

Read His Words.

Henry George is sincere in his belief
He is not one of the party demagogues
who put 1t on or put II of. or neutralize it
by compromises, rs occasion presses. He
has separated from his Labor party asso-
ciates on tariff issues, because he believes
that free trade is the paramount issue now
before the country. He is vigorously
prosecuting the campaign in its advocacy,
In his Standard. In the face of all the
conflicting reports as to President Cleve-
lands position upon the subject he pre-
sents this:
spent the latter part of last week in
Washington. Mr.. Cleveland has the repu-
tation of being even stronger free trader
than his message would indicate-and that is
strong enough for all practical purposes.
The message, as originally written, is said to
have been more radical even than as finally
sent in, being modified somewhat at the sug-
gestion of free trade Democrats, who feared
it might be too strong for the party in its
demoralized condition on the tariff question.

The American of Philadelphia, Profess
sor Thompson's admirable weekly publ
cation. says of the Senate Tariff bill:
The decision reached at the conference of
Senators on Wednesday evening, to prepare
a bill, is the wise one. when the whole situa-
ton is reviewed. A reduction of the sur
plus can be made, and the menace to the
country's business can be removed; the pre-
tence of the President can be exposed; the
allegation that the Republicans demand free
whiskey' can be still more effeetually explo.
ded and il can be shown that protection is
not in the way of sound finance, but is its
real support.
The proposed plan of action by the
Senate accords with the views we ex-
pressed sometime since. We think the
weight of argument is strongly in favor
of square affirmative measure against
the dangerous dogmas and provisions of
the Mills bill. The Republican Senators
will benefit the public and serve their
party by bold and united front.
