The National Republican Convention
did good days work at Minneapolis
last Friday, by giving to the country a
ticket that every patriotic citizen can
support with zeal and enthusiasm as
one representing the truest American
sentiment President Harrison carried
the country in 1888, before the people
were at all familiar with him as a
known or tried statesman of national
repute, but three years of his most ex-
cellent administration has demonstrate
ed that he is sound and honest on all
the great questions and has executive
ability of the highest order that ena-
bles him to successfully carry out his
ideas The selection of Mr.. Reid as a
candidate for Vice President will add
strength to the ticket, and 1t seems to
us must lead the Republican hosts to
victory in the great November struggle.

The GOVernOrShip.

Since the withdrawal OF Col. Franklin
Fairbanks of st. JOhnsbury from the guber-
material contest there has been steady
and unmistakable leaning among the re-
publicans in this section towards the Brat
tleborO candidate, and we believe that Col.
Levi X. Fuller has strong following in
Caledonia county. The movement has
been steadily gaining ground all over the
stats; he has been recognized as the leading
candidate from the start, and is now the
only candidate with any considerable fol
lowing.
1t must not have escaped the notice of
our readers that the columns of this paper
have been free from any such scurriloussat
tackS upon Col. Fuller as some of our con-
tempOraries have so freely INDUCED in.
There was more than enough of this kind
of political warfare in the presidential
campaign of 1884 and in our state campaign
in 1890, We believe that such talk only
hurts the influence of the papers which
print it.
Col. Fuller is man whose character is
above reproach; whose successful business
methods are to be commended; and whose
candidacy has been voluntarily espoused
by leading republicans all over the state.
We confidently expect to see him nominal
ed at Burlington June %, and believe he
will make good governor. - ISt. Johns

The early caucuSeS for the election of
delegate to the State convention June %,
indicates what has been apparent for some
weeks-that Col. Fuller will have com
plete walk-Over in the gubernatorial can
VaSS Indeed it is quite PROBABLE that no
name will be presented in opposition to
him in the convention.
The BrattlebOrO caucus gave their home
candidate pledged delegation, the meet
ing being largely attended, enthusiastic
and harmonious. Rutland, where the
strongest opposition was supposed to be To-
GATED, mas elected by unanimous vote in
caucus solid delegation for Col. Fuller:
Burlington did likewise last evening and a
number OF other towns have elected pledg-
ed delegations for the BrattlrborO states
man.
The half dozen newspapers of more or
less influence which are vainiy opposing
Col. Fuller, have been busy for some days
explaining the cause of this marked prefer
ence for him, but appear totally unable to
give the correct reason, either from ignOr-
ance OF facts or from prejudice-the latter
seeming to be the real cause In every del
egatlon thus far chosen a large majority of
the members are leading citizens and to in
innate that the caucuSeS have been manip-
ulated or that the result does not represent
tne prevailing sentiment on the gubernatO-
rial canvass is as absurd as it is malicious.
Inc opposition to Col. Fuller's candidacy
from, the start has been largely of a kind
which can seldom if ever succeed There
mas Oeen no real objection to offer while all
attempts to deny his qualifications for the
position have been ridiculous in any form.
An honest opinion on the gubernatorial
question is bound to command respect but
the newspaper or individual which is at
tempting 10 live up to the motto 'Anything
10 beat Fuller has experienced thus far a
remarkably cold and backward season.
COl. Fuller is a self-made man, "a true
Nermonter, man who has had extensive
business experience and is particularly
Wen qualified in many respects to fill the
gubernatorial chair during the next two
years, which are likely to be important

IL Is not too much to hope and expect
that Col. Fuller will be the unanimous
choice of the convention June %

Up to this time out of 265 delegates
chosen to the State Convention Fuller
has over two hundred, and many of
them are among the leading men OF
the State. His popularity seems to
reach all sections of the state, but
where he is best known his support is
the strongest, which counts immensely
in his favor. We hope and expect to
see Fuller nominated by reclamation.

DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE ON
THEIR GUARD.

Year after year the Republicans III
North Carolina have fought desperately
to defeat the Democratic party, but
bi,hrto without SUCCESS. In 1882 they
thought that they would then certainly
s.cceed by inducing enough anti-pro-
hibition Democrats to join the SO called
"Liberals," but even that scheme failed
and North Carolina has continued to
be blest with good government. And
now, after all their defeat, after all
their years Of failure, shall the Repub-
! licans at last capture our State by Demo
Gratis joining the Third party?
What say youo
Perhaps some one may be so sim
pie as to say that there is no danger
of this, because as many Republicans
as Democrats will join the Third party.
Not a bit OF it. Do not be SO foolish as
to think that. The Republicans in
North Carolina, both black and white,
will remain true to their party, and
will be certain to take advantage OF
any discussion or division among the
Democrats, and don't you forget ii!
Already the Republican leaders are
gloating with great glee over the
bright prospect of at last capturing
North Carolina through the folly OIL
misguided Democrats.
Shall their hopes be realized3-PiHs,
