Political Points.

State papers favor full term for Gov.
ernor Holt. He has made a good one.
Why not have him for full term?"
A Democratic club was formed at
Asheville with one hundred members |
Cleveland's name caused loud cheer
ing. The Democrats all over North
Carolina, the Wilmington Messenger
remarks, must wake up if they do not
wish to get left.
The Winston Sentinel says with
much force and truth: eff the State
is saved next November the credit
and glory of the achievement will be-
long to the Democratic press that has
been brave enough to meet the issue
squarely and fairly"
Chairman E. G.. Smith has received
a letter from Perquimans county
which states that at the Democratic
primaries held there only Simon-pure
Democrats were chosen as delegates to
the county convention. There was 40
disafe ection or trouble of any kind,
everything passing off lovely.
The Wilmington Messenger says that
so far as State legislation and the
State administration 60 there is no
complaint. The home affairs have
been wisely, faithfully looked after. If
the farmers and the laboring classes
to-day are complaining and repining
the excuse cannot be laid at the feet
; of the North Carolina Democracy.
The third party members in Edge
combe have resolved to hold a county
convention of their own. The Whining
\ ton Messenger thus comments: sWhile
f it is very unwise to cut loose from the
: Democratic party, it is the proper
: thing they are doing if they are resol-
r we'd to 90. Let them hold their own
e meeting and not attempt a dishonor.
}, able thing by feigning loyalty to the
n democracy while plotting treason latter
t the manner of some."
+ A letter to the Wilmington Sta,
from Kenansville says Democrat,
club was organized there Monday with
E. T. Pigford as president, and A. F
Williams secretary. 1t adjourned t.
o meet again on Saturday, when thevener
" able Rev. T. Page Ricaud will addres
!; the club; there will be other speakers
70 present. All the Jefferson Dem mocrat
q are requested to attend the meeting
If Other clubs will probably be organized
in that county, (Duplin.)
This is well said by the Hickor
Press and Carolnion: A democrati
government is one by the people, an
,h in North Carolina the people are tn
r, Democrats, and we feel assured that i
as November they will stand square t
ly their guns, as they have ever don
since they wrested the powers frol
the hands of the Holden Kirk rim!
and will roll up majority that wi
o. O completely bury all who attempt
- smirch the fair name of the Old Mort
an ,ai State by putting out a third party.
as Only one white man was made
as delegate by the Beaufort county Repu
ey lican convention to the district conve
for ton, and the Progress says that ifthe &C
si- ored people had fully understood wh
ow was being done, all the delegates wou
his have been colored. The sentime
,ut seems to prevail in the minds Of II
KS colored men that they do all the votll
JUS and the white Republicans get all t
fat offices, and this is true. The color
people in that county, it adds, ha
St lost all confidence in the Republic
party.
