NINE REASONS WHY MR
CLEVELAND OUGHT 1OT
TO RE NOMINATED
I-g2.

!, lie ought not to be nomineted
because a defeated candidate as a
rule whose chances in the race were
equal to his c)mpetito7 is never as
strong and inspiring as one who has
never been defeated.
2. lie ought not to be nominated
because he imported foreigners,
strangers and carpet-baggers into
the territories to rule over the people
az his appointee5 disgusting the
people, outraging pubic sentiment,
violating the bed rock principles Of
democracy, the right Of local self
government, thereby making Nor til
and South Dakota, Washington and
Montana territories solid republican
States instead OF Democratic States.
8. He ought not to be nominated
because he imported carpet-bagge-
from Massachusetts, to make recorder
Of deeds IN the District of Columbia
Instead Of appointing one Of the
three hundred tEou~and citizens of
that District.
(. He ought not to be nominated
because he did all in his power to
bankrupt the country, and wreck the
democratic party, by the demonitiza-
ton Of silver. The country escaped
this terrible calamity by combina>
ton Of the patriotic members of both
parties in Congress, which defeated
his scheme Of plumber and distruc-
tioD, and saved the debtor class of
the people from absolute ruin.
). He ought not to be nominated
because he carried gu: the republican
financial policy OF depositing from
forty to seventy million of dollars
yearly in the pet nationarbanks with
out interest, and at :he same time
pursued tue republican policy Of buy
ing in the Immatured bonds OF the
government at premium ranging
from eight to twenty-seven per cent,
thereby reducing the surplus in the
treasury and post looming the day of
reducing the Tariff to q revenue
basis, q thing desired and needed by
The people above all things on earth.
6. lie ought not to be nominated
because he is mugwump and not
in accord with the leading principles
Of the democratic party as organlz-
ed by Jefferson and made permanent
by jackson.
I. He ought not to be nominated
because he considered himself when
in Office the Master of the great ma
tional democratic party, and not its
servant.
S. He ought not 10 be nominated
because he re-appolnted republicans
after the expiration Of their terms
Of office instead Of appointing demo
Gratis, and because he did not remove
republicans, who did not come under
the damnabIe civil service laws, and
appoint democrats in their places;
and because he believes IN and APP
proves the unpatrOtic and despostic
policy Of examining by scientific ex.
peIts and educated fools every ap,
plieant for clerkShip, thereby dis.
franchising every American citizen
! so far as holding clerkship in the
service oftbe government is concern
ed.) provided they do not belong tc
the same class Of scientific and edu
Gated fools.
Q. And lastly, he ought not to bt
nominated because he can not b.
elected.

Ii this issue Hon. w, II. kitchin
gives some reasons why he thinks
Grover Cleveland should rot be
nominated IN 1892.
1t IS we'll known to newspaper
readers or this State that Mr.. kitchin
strenuous!Y opposed Cieyeland's
policy during tie greater part of his
administration. and was opposed to
his nomination for the campaign Of
1888 saying that he could not be
reelected.
Mr., Kitchin's democracy has never
been Quastioned-,n this truly he is
4 Caesars wife-an1 his Judgment
as to Cleye!and's election in 1888
proved to be correct; but whether
present conditions and those that
are to develop before 1892. will war
rant his present opposition to Mr..
! veland, i3 mere than We can say.
/ We G@Ie'c thaJ majority Oh Tue
democratic newspapers OF the coup-
t-Y and a majority of the leading
democratic politicians say that Cleve-
land is now stronger with the party
than ever before.
For the present we neither endorse
nor oppose Mr.. Kitchin's views, tut
give them to our readers for what
they are worth. The State of New
York controls the whole thing, and
we hardly think anything we may
say in these columns will affect that
. great State. We are standing by
. the democracy for North Carollns
and Halifax county, whatever may
be the event in our national issues

The prosperity Of every town
depends upon the e1ergy Of its
business men. Their success aud
their energy are dependent oae upon
tie other. Energy snrewarded with
success will invariably exhau,t
itself. Tie lesson which this past
year has taught US and which We
fear the coming season will help to
tesch is, that trade depending en-
tirely upon tie agricat2ral and
fishing Interests Of any locality
cannot te steady; and in years like
the past with no other all assign

be many. 1t is the part Of wisdom
tc provide against such contingen

shall desire to have the defects OF
our present excellent laws pointed
out. What is desired by all believ-

that when an importer gives notice of

the Board of General Appraisers shall be
in his favor, the liquidation of the entry

1t is significant fact that, although
even the faintest trace of Indians blood
predominates over that of the more
effeminate yet conquering blood of Euro
peans, yet the pure blooded Indians have
almost disappeared, while the half breeds
now compose the Canadian tribes. The
disappearance of the Indians must be due
to some psychological influence rather
than to any adverse material conditions.
Even here, under the best attainable re-
lations with civilization and the least
possible change of habits, they are di-
minishing about as fast as our abused
tribes. Scrofula and smallpox are their
most common diseases, and they injure
their health by unnecessary exposure,
overlooking on the carries, inordinate
feasting and fasting, and excessive labor
in running down reindeer and moose; ;
and their losses are not made up by their
small families.
Sickness is much dreaded, and if one
or two die in place any one else who is
indisposed thinks lie also is to die. and
the others gather about and express the
same opinion. Those writers err who as
sert that insanity and deformity are un-
known among them; they have a super
stition that an evil spirit is taking possess
sion of such persons, to change them into
a supernatural creature that will wander
about the woods and devour men. They
therefore strangle the demented and MANY

she received doll for birthday present,
she was delighted to find that by pulling
out green string very passable "mam-
ma" was produced. But the papa"
which followed the twitching Of white
string was imperfect. and when the little
mother discovered that her child had in
herited her own infirmity, her heroic
nature was shown. She lost no time in
putting to account her own training, and
pulling repeatedly on the white string,
with an unfaltering hand, she said firmly

CROWNED TOO LATE.

Long time he stood beneath cloud of SIM
And wrong and sorrow still upheld by pride;
And he grew wasted, hollow eyed and thin
With toll without and fighting fierce within,
And bowed himself down into the dust and died.
Long time the fury of the storm he 6raved,
And 'gainst its rudest peltings barred his breast;
And thrusting from his lips the cup he craved
He cast away the joys ne might have saved,
Till weary of the strife he sank to rest.
Stern and unyielding to the very last,
He hurled defiance to the wintry sky;
And struggling madly with the bitter blast
He scorned the future and ignored the past,
And caring not to live he dreaded not to die.
No woman's love was his no man his friend
He stood alone upon the sands of time;
No other love or life with his did blend,
Sufficing to himself even to the end,
In nature proud, in intellect sublime.
Unloved, unloving, passed he on his way,
Stern naughty, careless of his mighty strength,
Still working onward to the better day,
Unaided and alone till prone he lay
Stripped of his glory in the dust at length
And then the world his mighty genius found,
And all conspired his pean loud to raise;
And his cold brow with deathless bays they
crowned
And shouted out his name with such a sound
That all the earth re-echoed with his praise

in any other part of the world are to be
compared with those that come from
Manchuria or Mongolia, either in SIZE

its best during the winter, and the dog 3
