Tammany In Line.

We guess that we guessed right
when we guessed that Mr.. Hill had
not yet entered into the lolitical
battlefield, because he considered it
more polite to stand with his Tam
many-Hall friends, and lead them
by degrees up to the support of MI.
Cleveland. 1t may have been I'M
necessary for him to do so, hut there
is no telling. Sometimes even as
powerful and reliable all organiza-
ton as Tammany needs good advice
from wise friends. We remember
well that speaking for Tammany
Hall at st. Louis in 1876 the lately
deceased United States Senator
Herman told the Virginia delegation
that Democrats would carry New
York State in spite of the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Tilden for President of
the United States. Tammany had
200 representatives at st. Louis.
And so we have no doubt that the
Tammany represent tatives at the
New York 1ove-feast of last week
assured Mr.. Cleveland's representa-
tives that Tammany would be found
in the forefront of the battle from
now until election day. Mr.. Hill,
as we said yesterday, no doubt
thought it would be the best policy
for him to seem to follow Tammany

GOODBYE THIRD PARTY.

You came with flourish you came like

Good bye, Third party, good bye
With promise to all of a plenty OF cash,
Good bye, Third party, good bye.
But the people have learned that prom

Good by, Third party, good bye.
Unless there is back of it something that's
Good by, Third party, good be.
CHORUS:
Bye bye, Third party, bye bye. Third party,

A partys no better than those in its lead,
And party whose leaders are starving
of greed,
For office and place and emoluments fat,
Can't hoodwink the people with patriot
chat
At your head stands the turn-coat, and
South-hating Weaver,
Who from boasting and cursing would
now play deceiyer;,
man,
Will next be whatever his cunning may
plan.
too broad,
You would fix on the people too heavy
load,
You promise too much with so little to
give,
No people can practice your doctrines
and live.
Now look at atyourself in our good Old
North State,
In the name of "reform" you each day
violate;
Every precept of truth, every rule that
is right,
And in misleading ignorance take cum
ming delight.
In the name of "the people" you bluster
and boast,
If the hope of the peoples in you they are
lost.
Just look at the men you have named for
high place,
Their election would bring on our State
deep disgrace.
There's Exum for Governor-the thought
makes one smile,
Little Coh(b) (no corn on it, is next in the

Then Tom Long or Long Tom, of the '69

thought,
That from the name your organ its spir-

Then Woody and Worth-don't be fooled
by name, )
Like feathers togcther''-they're all the
sane.
There's Guthrie, railroad lawyer, little
too smart
To follow your leading till you make a
better start.
But Skinner is with you-frst up and
then down, 81
But he is in the right place whom the peo-
pie disown.
There's Butler, the renegade, the last of
the lot,
So small and unworthy Ialmost forgot
To write him place il this wonderful
throng,
Who will live in the annals of those who've
gone wrong"

Are gathering about you, you're awfully

In the hands of the Doctors-you'l Ger

Oh. THOMAS B. LONG.
How He Got Short With the N. G. Rail-
road.
Alamance Cleaner.

Thos. B. Long is the Third party
nominee OF the State ticket for
Auditor. Mr.. Long was the agent
for the North Carolina railroad ut
Salisbury from August, 1868, 10
October. 1864 little over one
year. He had eiveua bond in fhe
sum of SIC, 900 for the fAftkTal and
honest conduct of the duties per-
tanning to the trust. The railroad
company soon found that they
were not making full and complete
returns of the effice. He was dis
missed from the service, and an
investigation was at once instituted
which developed the fact that he
had been unfaithful to the employ
ing company to the use of several
thousand dollars.
An action was instituted 10y the
company to recover the amount of
his defalcation. The suit was
brought in this 'Alamanee county,
it being the domicle OF
the company, and upon
trial a verdict was rendered BY q
jury for the som of S., ,951 "a
against defendent Long in favor of
the plaintiff company. All the
records of the proceeding judg-
ment and all, are now on file in
the Office of the Clerk of the Su-
perior Court Of Alamance county.
And the judgment has not been
satisfied to this day.
Several years ago, when said
Thomas B. Long began to aspire
to political honors, he went to Col.
T. M. Holt,then President Of NC.
r. r. Co., now Governor, of our
Commonwealth, and asked the
company's best terms for the ad.
iustment Of the matter. Col. Holt
proposed to remit all interest and
to accept fifty cents on the dollar
as full satisfaction of the judgment.
Mr.. Long said the proposition was
liberal and satisfactory, and that
he would pay it off. Already sew
eral years have elapsed and Mr..
Long has not paid a penny of
it.
Such is the record of the man
and former Republican whom the
peoples party has nominated for
State Auditor, whose business it is
briefly stated, to manage the f.
nances of the State. Should such
man be chosen to take charge Of
the State finances, how long would
it be before it would bank
rupt the Statea A defauIter
to manage the finances of the
State would be a public disgrace
and calamity. The people who
believe in honest government and
faithful public servants should see

A GENTLEMAN.
BY MARGARET E. sANGsTER.

knew him for gentleman
By signs that never fail;
His CO It was rough and rather worl
His cheeks were thin and pale
A lad who had his way to MAKE,
With little time for play
l knew him for gentleman
By certain signs to-day.
He met his mother on the street;
Off came his little cap.
My door was shut, he waited there
Until I heard his rap.
He took the bundle from my hand,
And when I dropped my pen,
He sprang to pick it up for me,
This gentleman of ten
He docs not push and crowd along,
His voice is gently pitched,
He does not fling his books about
As if he were bewitched,
He stands aside to let you pass,
He always shuts the door,
He runs on errands willingly
To forge and mill and store.
He thinks of you before himself,
He serves you if he can,
For in whatever company
The manners make the man,
At ten aud forty tits The same,
The manner tells the tale,
And discern the gentleman
By signs that never fail.

The manner tells the tale,
And discern the gentleman
BY signs that never fail.
The Passing of the Poets.
Whittier's death parts the las,
prominent link that connected
with the present the personality of
the New England anti-s'avery
movement and of the intellectual
influences of which it was one ex-
preston. He had survived so long
that this part of his history had
been almost forgotten and benign
old age had brought him honor
and affection and a distinction not
exactly measured by his artistic
achievement. The lasting estimate
of work of art is independent OF
the character of the artist, but in
his lifetime that character rightly
counts in the esteem of his coun-
trymen, at least when, as in WhitA
tiers case. it stands forth in the
character of his verse, its sweet
simplicity, its moral earnestness
and sympathy.
The social and political condi-
tions which produced Whittier
produced also a great group of
writer's, thinkers, agitators, poets
and men of affairs, whose influence
was felt throughout tie nation;
but among them all no one kept s.
close a touch as he with his imA
mediate environment and remained
so distinctively the poet of rural
New England and its charscteris-
tic home life. His youth was
without artistic training and
throughout the time when literary
habits must be formed, he was too
busy in his newspaper work to
pur>ue< art otherwise than as
means for the conveyance of argu-
ment OR instruction, SO that he
never acquired that fine aesthetic
sense that would have preserved
his verse from the inperfections of
form and frequent lapses into COM
monplace which limit his achieve
ment. But the plain readers whom
he especially addressed were not
more sensitive than he, and SO Of
ten he gives us worthy thought
worthily expressed, SO simple and
earnest is his view and SO truthful
his portrayal OF familiar beauties
in nature and in life, SO constantly
he touches the chord OF human
sympathy, that his wide popularity
is not only easily to be understood
but entirely to be reJoiced in.
Of all the famous group of New
England poets DR.. Holmes now
remains alone. The are plenty of
men and women writing poetry
and their general average no doubt
is higher than the average of a
generation back; but there are no
conspicous leaders among them and
they do not hold the public ear
as did Bryant and Longfellow and
Lowell, Emerson and Whittier
and others who have passed away.
1t may be that the thought of the
time seeks other methods of exs
preston; it may be that the coDdi-
tions of life are less favorable to
poetical development; it may be
only that we pay our poets less
attention. Whatever the reason
the fact remains and Writers
seems practically to close a chap
ter, and an important one in
American literary history.-Phila-
0delz'hsG Times.

THE WRITING ON THE WALL.

In another column this morning
will be found good news for Democ-
racy from Arkansas.
AS the Charlotte Observer says, the
overthrow of the Peoples party in
Arkansas Monday, following upon
the heels of the disaster which over
took it in Alabama less than month
ago, should convince the most pur-
blind of it's devotees that there is
nothing for it in any Southern
State. If it could not succeed in
Arkansas it cannot succeed any
where, for there was practical fusion
there between this hybrid concern
and the Republicans, making it
more hybrid still, though, it APP
pears, no stronger. !. The straight
Democracy has swept the State by
an old-time majority, showing that
the real party of the people is still
firmly entrenched in their hearts.
From the day that Weaver was nom-
mated the course Of the Third party
in every Southern State has been
downward, and SO far as North Car
oliaa is concerned, it can with truth
be said that every convention held
State, district and county-has
accelerated its movement toward the
foot of the hill. The good men in
it should not stand out longer
against reason; nothing but defeat
awaits this airy, ill-advised crusade,
and they cannot afford to break their
Democratic records for naught. Let
them lay aside false pride and re-
turn to the party Of their first affec-
tions before they commit the overt
act of voting without reason against
the party with which their interests
lie.
