A ROAD CONGRESS.

The Southern Inter State Road
Congress will meet in Memphis,
Tenn, on the 14th of next November
This will be most important meet
ing and if North Carolina has not
already arranged to be represented
in this Congress, we hope steps will
be taken to have Delegates appoint
ed without delay.
The purpose of this meeting is ''to
form a national associat ton, the OBJ
ject of which will be to distribute in
formation concerning the construc-
ton ofgood roads and to make "a
united effort to secure legisl. tive
action on the subject"
There are some few good roads in
North Carolina, notable example
being the mountain road between
Linville and Blowing Rock, which
has been compared to the roads of
the Swiss Alps. Mecklenburg county
has dirt roads that have at least a
State reputation. Here the convicts
of the county criminal court are
made to work the roads in the coun
ty, and the system has worked so
admirably that Mecklenburg is be-
coming the envy of her sister coun-
ties. Except in New Hanover and
Wake, we know of no other counties
where this system has been adopted.
While we boast of the few good
roads we have, we must confess that
as a general thing the North Caro-.
lima roads are miserable, and there
fore we urge that North Carolina be
represented in this approaching Con-
gress, where the road problem in all
it's perplexing features including that
of securing good bridges, will be
thoroughly discussed.

COOLEY IS CONSISTENT.

Judge Thos. NJ. Cooley, the most
distinguished jurist in Michigan, and
one of the greatest men in the ma
ton, will go to the polls, if he has
strength enough and vote for Grover
Cleveland. He has been a Reputli-
can, but the issue which Cleveland
made more prominent than all 9th
ers, causes him to turn his back on
the Republican party. Judge Cooley
is not inconsistent, however. In his
great work on Constitutional Linn
itation," he declares that "constitu-
tionally a tax can have no other
basis than the raising of revenues
for public purposes, and that "what-
ever governmental exaction has not
this basis is tyranical and unlawful !"
He declares that "a tax upon i'm
ports, therefore, the purpose ofwhich
is not to raise revenue, but to dis
courage and prohibit some particu-
lar import, may well be questioned
as being merely colorado, and there
fore not warranted by the Constitu-
tiOn''

HOW THIS SECTION LOOKS.
To Resident of the Eastern Part OF
the State.

Hon. w. r. Henry, of Henderson,
was seen today by a SENTINEL repor-
ter and asked his impression of this
part of the State. He said: 81 was
raised in Eastern North Carolina and
have never before visited west of
Greensboro This country up here
looks to me like a magnificent oil
painting; the people are wonderfully
generous and hospitable, and from IA
business standpoint this City is beyond

PROJECTION AND POVERTY.

. One would think from the Republi-
can papers that their party guaran-
tees high wages to laborers. Well,
here is a picture for YOU! 1t is drawn
by Rev w. D. P. Bliss, member of
the Anti-Tenement House League of
Boston. Read it and reflect. Con-
slider also that the lowest wages in
Europe are in the countries which
have the highest protective tariffs.
The Harrison party four years ago
scared thousands of laborers into
believing that a lower tariff would
mean lower wages. Those laborers
are still waiting for their rise i'll
wages. Here is the picture drawn in
New York:
"The streets on which these tene-
ments are situated are worse than
any | have seen in London, Paris,
Berlin or even Constantlnople, and |
have visited the slums of all these
cities. l took up some of the cloth

The Way the Tariff Works.

The Georgia people are laughing
over the stories of Col. Ham, polit-
ical orator. Explaining the other
day, the operations of the tariff to
the Southern people Colonel Ham
said:
''There was a colored man down in
Thomasvilie who sized the tariff up
this way: Il don't know much about
it, but it seems to me sorter like dis /:
Dere is a great big COW, and it's head

THE REPUBLICAN ANNEX.

Candidate for Peoples party Lieu
tenant Governor, Cobb, had to be
hauled down by his party because OF
his shady political record and now it
seems that nobody can be found who
will consent to act as his substitute.
The Progressive Farmer wanted to
hoist the name of W. K. Pigford, of
Sampson county, at its mast head,
rs CObb's successor, but that gentle
man absolutely refuses to allow his
name to be thus used. Third party
men are beginning to see that they
have been deluded by ambitious per
sons Turing them on by false promises.
AS back up of this assertion we
call special attention to the follow
ing sta tement of A. B. Peeler, the
Third party leader of Cleveland
county who refused to accept the
nomination of his party for sheriff,
When he foresees that it will endanger
the prosperity of his State:
"I,have evidence of the unholy trade
that has been made by Butler and
Exum to sell the Sts8e to the Repub
licans for $4,000. / have the best
| reason to believe that corrupt bar
gain exists between the leaders ofthe
Peoples party and the Republicans
whereby the rank and file of the Peo-
pies partyis betrayed into furthering
the plans OF the Republican party.
| My heart revolts against such treach-
cry and corruption, and 1 will not
cc1lcT myself to be made party to
any such movement"
Butler has continually denied that
he had received any financial aid
from the Republicans, but the above
is pretty good evidence against him.
The great majority of the Third par
| ty followers in this State are honest
men, deluded for a time it may be,
but now convinced of their mistake
and they will repudiate, as Mr.. Peel
er and Mr.. Marslender have done,
any such treachery as that Butler
! and Exum are guilty Of

THE CONVERTS INCREAsE,

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 14.-Bishop
John NJ. Brown, of the African Meth
odist Episcopal church, a resident of
Washington, d. c., has announced his
adherence to the Democratic party
and advises all his church to do the
same.
Bishop Brown has been strong
factor in the Republican party's work
among the colored people heretofore,
and he has changed his politics because
of the settled conviction that his race
has nothing to hope for from the Re-
publican party. In conversation he
said he did not believe it was to the
interest of the negro to ally himself
solidly to any one political party. Such
a course destroyed his influence. So
long as party was sure of the negro
vote that party would have no respect
for the negro or the negro's wished.
The negro must begin to vote for that
party from which he has most to ex-
pect.

THE EXODUS CONTINUES.

We publish above a long list of Re-
publican exodusters to Democracy,
including very large number
of influential Republicans all over
the union. North Carolina is not
being by any means left out in the
cold in this movement and below we
give the names of a number of prom
inent Republicans and Third party
men in our own State who have de-
termined that the good of the coun-
try depends on Democratic success
this year:
Gen. Rufus Barringer, a distin-
guished lawyer of Charlotte, and a
Confederate brigadier-general.
Col. William Johnson, also dis
tinguished lawyer and candidate
for governor of the State against
Vance in 1862.
Chas. F. McKesson, of Morganton.
VIM. A. Guthrie, of Durham.
Frank Winston, of BERTHE.
Col. Moore, Of New Bern.
W. II. Marslender, (Third partly,

Dial. M. Hardy Third partly, of
Wayne county.
Col. Argo, of Wake county.
Judge Albertson, of Pasquotouk
county.
Col. w. S. Pearson, of Burke
county.
These are only a few of the honest
men who place the good of the peo-
pie above mere partisan success.
The old Republican ship is sinking
and her sailors are pulling off in the
life boats for the solid, rock ribbed
shore of Democracy before the ap-

THERE are over twenty five citizens
of Winston-Salem, formerly Republi-
cans, who will this year vote for Gro

some of the best business men in this
community. These men are actual

motive, but they have become con-
WINGED that the social, political and
commercial prosperity of the South

A POLITICAL EXODUS.

The accessions to the Democracy
from the Republican ranks all over
the Union can only be properly des-
cribed as an exodus.
The press dispatches daily bring
the news OF some additional con-
vert to Cleveland aud Stevenson. 1t
is impossible to fully appreciate the
full significance of these Democratic
gains unless we bunch the names of
our newly made friends and look
upon them as a whole. Within the
last two weeks THE SENTINEL has
published the glad news of the aces
sions to the Democratic party OF the
following prominent and influential
Republicans:
Judge Thos. NJ. Cooley, the emil
neit.. lawyer and late chairman of
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
Judge Walter Q. Gresham, the in
fuential Republican, urist of Indiana,
who refused to become the Peoples
party Presidential candidate.
Wayne McVeagh, President Gar
fields Attorney General.
H. La Barre Jayne, an eminent
Philadelphia lawyer.
William Dudley Foulke, ofIndiana,
one of the foremost advocates of CIV
il service reform.
Judge Hare, a lifelong Republican
of Pennsylvania.
Indgc Harrod, prominent Indi-
ana jurist.
Mr.. Wetmore. the most infiuent-
ial Republican in Southern Califor-
MIA.
Albert R. Leeds, professor of.chem
istry in Stevens institute OF. Technol
ogy, Hoboken.
R. o. Odell, OF Minnesota, appoint
ed United States Land Commissioner
by President BENZ. Harrison.
William Crosthwaite, an infuen-
tial colored lawyer of Nashville,
Tennessee.
These facts are interesting as
showing the political trend in the
country. For every noted Republi-
can who thus leaves his party
there will be hundreds and thous-
ands of lesser lights whose names do
not appear in print.

Here's a Pretty How-d'-do.
From the Goldsboro August

From the GoIdsboro Argus.
The pes-to-be-Governor of North
Carolina, DR.. w. p. Exum, held a
meeting down at Bull Head, in Greene
county, last week-so Mr.. Taylor, the
former regitrar of that township,
says-at which he pronounced a great
eulogy on the said |, Pat Exum, Mr.
Taylor says that Pat said in his speech
that he had written letter to Presi-
dent Harrison to secure Federal SUI
pervisors for the North Carolina polls,
and, that President Harrison had re-
piled to the letter advising him how
to proceed to secure the desired ebay

made this statement in his Bull Head

THE Prohibition party is gainging
while the Peoples party is losing.
The elections show that. In Maine
the Prohibitionists made a 40 per

other hand, the Peoples party, which
started in last July by claiming

The Political Outlook,
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record
The one fact of the future most
clearly foreshadowed is that on the
Sth of November Mr.. Cleveland will
get his second lease from the people of
the United States as the accepted ten
ant of the White House. If all the
things that are to be could be as safely
discerned as this there would be little
be intensifying interest in the politi-
cal developments of the next few
weeks, and the newspapers whose edu-
cational influence has done so much to
assure the indicated result will be
kept busy recording additional indica-
tions.
