handsome fall catalogue of seeds. They
are an old and reliable firm and deal
fairly with their customers. Their
advertisement can be found in another
part of this paper.
There ia q wide difference be-
tween Jeffersonian democracy and
Cleveland democracy. The reform
people are eontending that your Uncle
Thomas was a good exponent while
Grover is a disciple of John Sherman,
and they are correct.
The Winston Daily Sentinel
thinks the editor of this paper "in
trying TO be funny becomes discour-
teous." We apologize to the energetic
Winston editor. He was not included
in the number that stopped in Wash
ington to investigate the rumor that
Cleveland had been nominated f." last
June.
~ We have received several ap-
peals from Sub-Alliances for members
who have sustained losses. As the last
State Alliance passed upon a plan to
systemic this matter Gt was published
in this paper last week. we think best
for all to wait until this plan can be
put in operation and come in with
their claims then.
~ The Sanford Express, in giving
an account of the accidental drowning
of Nelson Williams, colored, at Caro-
lima Beach, says: HE made many
friends among the whites and always
voted the Democratic ticket" We
simply mention this to show that
darkies r always "nice" when they
vote the Democratic ticket.
~ We have received numbers of
letters asking us for different political
platforms. These platforms have been
published in all the papers. People
should always save such things for
future reference. We are publishing
the platforms now of all parties since
the formation of the republic. We
expect many have failed to file the pa
pers. If SO it is their own fault.
The Horner School, of Oxford, be-
gins the Fall term with fattering pros
poets. The enrolment of students the
first week vas larger than ever before
in the history of the school. With a
fine new gymnasium and MI. Will
loughby Reade as instructor of Physi-
cal Culture and Elocution, that de-
partment will be first class. The build
building is being supplied with hot air
blast heating and ventilating, the best
system known. Every department of
the schools is first class in every respect.
The Denver Times, Republican,
says: what leading Republican will
care to offer himself a sacrifice at the
convention next week, unless that
body declares in favor of free silver
and ~instructs its electors to cast their
votes for a man pledged to carry out
the will of the people, as it may be
manifested by Congress9" The truth
of the business is that neither Harrison
nor Cleveland will get a smell " in
Colorado. No leading Republican nor
leading anybody else ought to be caught
running anywhere except on a free
coinage platform.
Section 267S, of North Carolina.
election laws says: 1.-THE board of
Commissioners for each county, on or
before the first Monday of the month
next preceding the month in which
the election is held, shall appoint four
judges or inspectors of election, two of
whom shall be of a different political
party, where pc 5sible, from the regis
trars, at each place of holding election
in their respective counties" They
have already been appointed in some
counties. Peoples party men are being
ignored and negroes put in for Repub-
lican judges and whites for Democrat
judges. ALI this shows a conspiracy to
defeat the popular will. Voters of
North Carolina keep your eyes open.
GROWTH OF THE ALLIANCE.
Several papers have asked if the Al
lance is not dieing, and not a few as
sert that it is. The last report of the
State Secretary shows quite a healthy
increase in number of limitations. OF
