WAIT AND HOPE

Faint not! tho heavy burden'd, weary
The skies are azure blue;
Faint not tho life seems empty, dreary.
Eve brings the pearly dew.
Take heart then in thy misery,
Find solace in sweet memory,
That in it's golden mesh displays,
The scenes of earlir. brighter dayrs
That erstwhiie filled your life with
joy,
When tickle fortune was not coy,
But smilingly had wooed thee.
Faint notl tho loved ones now are sleep
Aud cypress waves DER head,
Faint not! tho heart, surchsrged with
wesnirs,
Bedews each narrow bed.
There's work for willing hands to
do, zsz~s, z.
And other blessings wait for you,
In Gods good time will Gomez
peace,
That thro' the years will not cease.
Take heart of peace, the night will
wane,
And glorious cay will burst again,
And lovingly enfold thee.
Hope on! oases in the deserts live.
Where glad the waters sing,
Hope onl joys unknown has God to give,
And .orrow will take wing.
Poor wounded one look up on high.
And learn that heaven is very nigh,
The rose tints on the mountains
glow,
And fresh the morning bre"z g blow,
The night is gone and apaled the

Each wound is healed and swee

Sir, | began my remarks by re-
questing the Clerk to read an ex-
tract from the platform of the Re-.
publican party, adopted at MINNIE
apolis. | now, in conclusion, send
to the Clerks desk an extract from
the platform of the Democratic
party, adopted at Chicago, and ask
that il be read:
The representatives of the Dem
ocratic party OF the United States
in National Convention asseulb led
do reaffiirm their allegiance to the
principles of the rafty as premul-
gated by Jefferson, and exempli-
fed by long and illustrions line
of his successors in Democratic
leadership, from Madison to Clcve-
land. We believe the public vel.
fare demands that these principles
be applied to the conduct ,ot the
Federal Government throug gh the
accession to power of the party
that advocates them. and we SOL
emnly declare that the need of re-
turn to these fundamental princi-
pies Of q free, popular Government,
based on home rule and individual
liberty, was never more urge Mt
than now, when the tendency to
centralize all power at the Federal
Capitol has become a menace to
the reserved rights of the States
that strikes at the very roots of onr
Government under the Constitu-
ton as framed by the Republic.
We warn the people of the common
country, jealous for the preservae
ton of their free institutions, that
the policy of Federal control of
elections, to which the Republican
party has committed itself, is
fraught with the gravest dangers,
scarcely lees momentous than
would result from a revolution,
practically establishing emonarchy
on the ruins of the Republic
Here is the issue joined by these
two great. political and opposing
forces. Here is where the roads fork.
The signboards are mp and the
traveller cannot lose his way. One
road leads TO the guardianship of the
citizen, the humiliation OF the
States, the subversion of;the Con-
stitution and the aggrandizement
of the Federal Government into a
centralized and imperial power.
The other leajs to the liberty of
the citizen home rule and the per-
petuity of the Federal and State
Govern ments as they move in their
respective orbits, sustaining the
one to the other the relation or.
dained and established by the
fathers. 4

HISTORY REPEATs ITSELF.
A "Reminiscences of Thirty-two Years
Ago.

In conversation yesterday with a
farmer of this county, who is now in
the meridian Of life, he related an
amusing incident of his, boyhood,
which in the light of current politi-
cal events may be of some interest
to the public-and we are sure it
will be highly enjoyed by those who
know the person in question.
81 was a small boy from the coun-
try" said the gentleman, s'attending
the first fair held at Goldsboro just
before the war. I had meyer before
seen horse race, and everything in
that line was watched by me with
the greatest interest. One of the
races was sulky race, with. three
contestants, one of whom was a
young, dark complexioned man driv-
ing white horse. I had noticed that
in all the races when the finish was
reached the drivers slowed up grad
ually, but in this particular race,
when the finish was reached two of
the drivers gradually slowed up, but
the man with the white horse, who
was the hind man in the race, turned
short to the left when he had
crossed the line, and over went the
man and sulky-the man on the
ground and sulky on top. The crowd
fairly yelled, while the intrepid (?)
DRYER of the losing horse crawled
to his feet and began brushing the
dust off his clothes. Some man
standing near ne asked a companion:
Who is that fellow to which the
latter replied: 'Why, it's that id
fool Pat. Exum
And this was thirty-two years
ago! Ard the years have rolled on.
That same Pat. Exum, who has
recently become known-or, rather,
heard of-throughout the State as
sDr. Exum", has entered another
race-he is driving the Third Party
sulky towards the Gubernatorial
goal; and when the finish is made on
the Ides of November he will again
be found rolling in the dust of de.

LOOK ON THIS PICTURE.

A gentleman on natures plan,
A modest, earnest faithful man,
In counsel wise, in action strong,
Despising fa1sehood, hating wrong,
With generous hand to those in nsedi
A patriot not in word but deedi
A real man from boot to hat,
Elias Carr, the Democrat.
THEN ON rHts.
Loud braggart of what "1f' have done,
Proud boaster about what II" own,
Full of deceitfulness and guile.
Grasping money by every vile,
Depressing weakness, loving wrong,
Toadying to the great and strong,
Proudly boasting Of his "blood."
Tyrant of his neighborhood.
Unloved alike by small and great
OF whom all can some fault relate,
Unmoved by thought of others good,
Coursing his veins no patriot blood.
Behold the picture! here you scan

Not merely what we are,
Bnt what we were and what we are to be,
Make up our life-the far days each q

The near days nebulae
Al once would love forget
Its keen pursuits and coy delays of bliss,
And it's delicious pangs of fond regret,
We're there no day but this.
And who, to win a friend.
Would to the secrets of his heart invite
A fellowship that should begin and end
Between a night and nighta
Who, too, would pause to prate
Of insult, or remember slight or scorn,
Who would this night lie down to sleep
with hate,
Where there to be no morn2

To misery's complaint or PHYS CALL

And what were wealth with
shame,
The vanity of Office, pride of caste,
The why sparkle of the bubble fame,

Ay, what were all days worth,
Were there no looking backward or

If every human life that drops to earth
Were lost for evermore2

ers of the State, man Of character,
for Governor, and now the very
men who voted for his nomination are
seeking to defeat him, after having
expressed themselves as eatisfied with
the ticket and platform, and Mr..
Butler, President of the State Alli-
ance after having stated In his paper,
the Caucasian, that it wuid be sui.
cidal to nominate Third party can.
didates, and that in any event the
Caucasian would support the Demo-
cratic ticket, in rs days was presid-
ing oyer the Third party convention
and planning to defeat that very
ticket. He appealed to them to come
back into the Democratic party, and
not to allow Themselves to be misled
by designing men. but to be men Of
convictions, to examine the questions
presented in the light of reason, un-
influenced by prejudice or passion.
He showed that the difference
between Cleveland and Harrison was
very wide: one the friend Of the
South, the other its enemy.
1t was great speech; great in its
honesty, its plain, simple sloquencs
and its fair and candid discussion Of
the issues between the parties.
We regret that want of space pre-
vents a more extended notice of all
the speeches.
An interesting incident happened
at the conclusion of Gov. Jarvis
speech: Mr.. D. NJ. Hardy, of this
city, who was delegate to the late
Third party State convention, and
who in that body placed DR.. Exum
in nomination as the candidate for
Governor, came upon the platform
and in a stirring speech, in which he
declared that, while he was heart
and soul in favor of the reforms de.
manded by the Alliance, he felt it
his duty to say that he now believed
he had been mistaken in the best
means of attaining them, and was
even convinced that the Democratic
party, State and National, offered to
all true friends of reform the surest
and speediest fulHlment of their de.
sires, and that he should work and
vote for Cleveland and the Demo-
cratic ticket. Mr.. Hardy was heart
lily cheered and was the recipient Of
many congratulations.
Senator B. F. Aycock closed the
meeting with the announcement that
the UemOcratlc primaries would Dc
held on next Saturday, and urged all
Democrats to attend-that the door
of the Domacratic church stood
wide open, and a warm invitation
was extended to any who had wan.
dered off, to come back to the
fold.
Thus closed a field day for Dem.
ocracy in Wayne.
