COMMENTS.

The Petersburg Index-Appeal
has this to say: Gov. Fowle has
set an example which every Southern
State ought to emulate. 1t is the
poorest sort of policy for the D7mo
cratic leaders in the South to main
tain that a Republican administration
is necessarially menance to good
government and the individual and
political liberty of this section"
The Danville Register (Dem. J
says: owe believe Gov. Fowle but
voices the sentiment of the large bulk
of the South's population, and that
there is a general desire on the part
of the Southrons to aid Mr.. Harrison
in promoting the peace and prosperity
of the whole country, regardless OF
section"
And the Norfolk Virginian SAYS
"No fair minded oppon Mt can
question that the sentiments of North
Carolina's Governor. and our Cotem-
poraries are consonant with the opin
ions of the great body Of Southern
people in public and private position
The responsibility, then, of unbroken
hostility to, or unkindly sentiment
toward the incoming administration
will depend upon the policy Gen.
Harrison may formulate in his inaug-
ural. If it is thoroughly national
there will be no facticious opposition
to it in any FORM"

SPEAKING of the retirement of
1t. Gov. Stedman, the Wilmington
Review says:
He fitted the exalted position with
honor and credit to himself and his
State. He returns to private life with
the plaudits of the whole people ringing
in his ears. But he will not remain
long in retirement. In 1892 he will
be nominated for Governor, and he will
be elected.

DANIEL @. FowLE was inaugu-
rated on the 18TH as Governor of
North Carolina, at Raleigh in the
presence of a large assembly. His
inaugural address was a mastery
presentation of Democratic principles.
He endulged very sparingly in those
facecious side flashes which usually
characterize his discourses. He was
deeply earnest, at times eloquent,
was throughout logical, and his
speech was frequently interrupted
with wide-throated, big-mouthed
bursts of enthusiastic applauses.
The following are some extracts
from his magnificent speech:
"A Republican Administration will
control the destines of the country
from the 4th of March for the term of
four years.
North Carolina stands ready to give
that Administration a fair trial and to
cordially. cooperate with it in every
effort which it may make to increase the
prosperity Of the Union and the glOly
of the Constitution of the United States.
For throughout the limits of this State,
at least, it is thoroughly believed that
the Union is the Constitution. and the
Constitution is the Union.
Upon the maintenance of that Con-
stitution depends the prosperity of the
Union.
North Carolina will cheerfully give
her aid in making our country greater
and more powerful Turing the next four
years, because she is satisfied that the
attempt to enrich the few by the op-
preston of the many. under the spe-
cious pretence of affording protection
to American labor, will be fully under
stood by the masses of the people
before the expiration of another four
years, and when the Democratic party
resumes the control of this Government
it wishes to find the people as little i'm
poverished as possible, for it will come
to stay until it has performed it's great
work Of extirpating those alliances
which have for their object the accumu-
lation of immense private fortunes at
the expense Of the suffering people,"
TAXATION.
From 1858 to the present time the
assessed property of the State has in
creased from dDOuG SO.OUU,UUU TO 9SII.-
900 900, and 1868, when GU! tate tax,
under republican rule, was " cents on
the 800 worth of property, it has been
reduced until now it is only 90 cents on
the 500 worth of property, and yet we
have erected more public buildings
than at any previous period Of our
history"
COMMON SCHOOLS.
'Our common schools are an honor to
the State. We have appropriated more
and more money for the education of
our boys and girls. In 1868 there was
expended for this purpose by the State
500, 900; in 1888 about 100000 But yet
in some of the COUNTIES of the State the
schools are not kept open four months
each year, as the Constitution requires.
There seems to be no practical way
under an act which is uniform in levying
taxes upon the different counties of the
State to remedy this evil by legislation,
and yet it should be remedied. The
suggestion is, therefore. made for your ,,
consideration whether it would not be
well to make some change in the Con-

The old fable of the fox and III

The old fable of the fox and the
,Tapes has often been illustrated in
real lie, but never more SO than In the
case OF President Cleveland. In an
interview with correspondent of a
baltimore paper, he recently stated
that he would gladly lay down the
cares OF the Presidential Office, and
expressed his pleasure because he was
defeated. And yet, during two wears
OF MS term previous to the election, he
did everything iu his power to secure
NOMINATION. and actually renomi
naied himself, leaving the St. Louis
convention nothing to do except con.
hrm that nomination. During those
TWO years he tramped civil service re.
form under foot, for the purpose of
hlllng the offices with men on whose
support he could rely, while for the
purpose OF making q solid South he

The claims put forth by the Demo.
cratic papers all over the country that
Cleveland and Thurman received a
popular majority of votes, IS. 600. is
without foundation in fact, The New
York Tribune, in commenting on this
matter says:
This would be curious If 1t were true.
but 1t is not. Messrs. Cleveland ard
Thurman were in popular minoritv by
more than 800 ,0C0 votes. ThSy received
about :, $50, 524 votes, but 8, S53. 446 were
cast Tor other candidates, BY men who
DID not want Cleveland aud Thurman,
Thus 1t is not curious that they were not
elected. There were among these other
voters about quarter of million Pro
hibitionists, who sturdily protest that
they did not mean to vote directly or In.
directly for the continuance of Mr.. Cleye-
land In Office, and most of them would
undoubtedly have voted directly for
Mesers. Harrison and Morton ii they
had been compelled to choose between
the leading candidates. Thus the out
come OF the electoral system is once more
IN substantial accord with the wishes OF
the people expressed In the votes actually
recorded.
Another matter OF interest is the fact
that in no State where the Democrats
had control of the election machinery
was a fair vote cast. Take Delaware,
for instance, where In this county alone
ihirty-fve hundred men were deprived
OF their right TO vote, simply because
they were Republicans, while fifteen
hundred Democrats, who had no legal
right TO vote, were enabled TO do SO BY
means OF bogus tax receipts, simply
because they were Democrats. In al.
most every State south of Mason and
Dixon's line the Republicans were ter.
Torized, and in districts where thew
had overwhelming majorities, the bal
lQt boxes were stolen after the polls
closed and the votes DESTROYED A
notable instance occurred in Arkansas
where Congressman elect John NJ
Clayton was assassinated for endeavor.
Ing 70 discover the perpetrators OF
frauds in his district. Yet, with all
this cheating, DISTINGUISHING and ter.
rorizing, 1t has been clearly .proyen
that Cleveland and Thurman had moi
a majority of the popular vote, and
that Harrison and Morton were fairly
elected and are the choice of the
people.
