A TICKET THAT WILL WIN, and be certain
Of its election, and give universal salts
faction. | nominate General w 2. Rob
erts for Congress, and w. T. Caho for
Solicitor With this ticket in The field,
we are certain to win. Both gentlemen
are we'll known throughout the dis
trict both have carried the dis
trict in the past; both have a
personal magnetism that carries strength
with it whenever it is met; both are
true and tried Democrats, who have
never faltered where duty called them
both have filed positions Of honor and
trust with credit to themselves and
honor to their constituents. No one
| not even their bitterest political enc
mics, can find naught against their 20
| litical record or public or private life
Both are farmers; both are Christian
gentlemen and men of deep thought and
| great conservatism. Why not nominate
them? General Roberts, who went into
the late war a private, aud in
less than four years had, by mis-
| courage, his bravery and true
merit, worked himself up to the
position Of Brigadier General and that
| when but mere boy, General at %
years old, would take stand in Congress
that would soon put him in the lead, or
in far front with CongressmeE, and We
would feel proud Of him, and be honored
by bis election.
Mr.. Caho, though not a candidate
that is not seeking the nomination, is Z
good lawyer, has always been faithful
to every trust reposed in him, was {
soldier in the late war at 16 years old
is now but AZ, in the prime of his life
He is besides good farmer not a theo
retical one-but practical on, as yor
would see if you were to com Jwn anC
90 upon his farm near Stonewall. He is
man that keeps abreast of the times
has hosts Of lriends all through the dis
trict, is one of the truest friends, to hi
friends, the friendship Of Daman am
Pythias can not excel it, as many ther
are throughout this district that can at
test it, though not seeking the Office b
would take it if nominated.
T Then let us 90 to the conventions an
nominate Judge Brown for his own sue
cessor.
Gen. W. ?. Roberts for Congress an
Hon. W. t. Caho for Solicitor. This ticl
ct will win all the way through and 4
can be ashamed of it. IN"

SALISBURY, n. c., July In last
Wednesdays Salisbury Herald Capt. J.
A. Fisher, prominent farmer and pres
ident of the Rowan County Alliance, de-
clared himself a candidate for Sheriff,
subject only to the action Of the voters
at the ballot box, and in his card took
occasion to allude to what he vas pleased
to term Township and County Bosses :"
The Captain probably thought that be-
cause Of his prominence in the Alliance,
together with the anti Democrats, he
could sail smoothly and successfully
into this desirable office; but if the
action Of the Alliance to-day means any
thing, it means that mo independents
need apply"
The largest Alliance meeting ever
held in the county was held in the court
house here to-day. Over a hundred
delegates were present, and many others
who were not delegates came to look on.
Capt. Fisher, the new go-as-you please
candidate was present and presided with
more than his usual dignity. 1t was a
regular meeting and officers were to be
elected for the ensuing year. The Cap
tain was a candidate for reelection to
the presidency, but when the votes were
counted out Of nearly one hundred, he
received the great number of FIVE, the
exact number of Republicans present, SO
| am told. His percentage at the polls
will be about the same This is the way
the Rowan county Alliance endorse In
dependent candidates. The Captain is
wiser if not happier man.
