The State Guard.
Ashevflle Citizen.

Ashevflle Citizen.
If the republicans and third party
leaders of North Carolina had taken their
stand on but the one issue they have late
ly brought out-namely enmity to the
State Guard-that alone should defeat
them The organ of the third party, the
Progressi0e Farmer, says sneeeringly, that
the Guard sis largely composed of ciga-
rette smokers" and adds that it has mot
seen any good it has done" The people
will note the coincidence of this opposi-
ton to what makes for law and order,
and will be disposed to think that the
connection between the friends of the
force bill and this new plank in the third
and republican parties is not remote, but
intimate and Intentional.
The absolute necessity for State mi
litia is something too long conceded an6
too obvious to call for argument. Th'
State Guard should be fostered and up
held by every good citizen. 1t stand
for law and order, and may at any TIM
stand for the protection Of our homes
The system of State defence that can a
any moment call out of the body of tn
citizens an army equipped for instan
; service has drawn the admiration of tn
, world. 1t is this system that is condemn
ed by the republicans and third part
men in this State, and, if they are give
the power, they will destroy it.

The Mississippi Campaign.

Appeal. AVaIanche.
The democrats of Mississippi have been
making very brave, earnest and sturdy
campaign, and they will score great
victory The Mississippi democracy
was the first to challenge the third party
and to overthrow it. Owing to the en-
thusiasm with which they rallied to the
support of the democratic flag when it
was put in peril two years ago, the pop
ulist leaders were unable to establish
their party in the State. They have in
the present campaign been equally alert
and have prevented the slightest en-
croachment.

Alabama Safe,

There is not the slightest doubt that
Alabama will give Cleveland and Ste-
venson a rousing majority. The Journal
bases this assertion on information re-
ceived from reliable correspondents in
various parts of the State and on the
opinions Of the best informed politicians
in the State. The democrats are thor
oughly organized and more enthusiastic
than they have been in any campaign
since 1875. The farmers who voted for
Kolb in August are coming back into the
They are convinced that Kolb and his
crowd are nothing more nor less than as

THE fact that Tammany and the count

The fact that Tammany and the county
democracy in New York have united
their forces is causing the republicans
great deal of apprehension, and now the
third party organs are wondering how
the fusion could have been brought
about. Both of these factions are com
posed of patriotic democrats who, seeing
the danger CT continuing the republican
party IN power in he nation, have buried

Farmers and Wage.Earners Know.

New York Herald.
Party organs and protection tracts have
brlstled with figures designed to con-
vince workingmen that the wages have
advanced and farmers that prices have
risen. Now, On this point wage-earners
and farmers are better informed than the
politicians. Their source of information
is the pay roll and the markets. Every
workingman knows whether his wages
are better or worse than they were and
whether the cost of living is higher or
lower. Every farmer knows whether he
gets more or less for his products now
than he did. And whatever may he the
facts, every intelligent wage Garner and
farmer have his own opinion as to wheth-
er protection has been to him boon or
: burden.

show that Er Cleveland has changed
his views on the tariff. Mr.. Blaine

WE do not believe that the negro

led by such political bankrupts as
Eaves and Wilson. Their self respect
should cause them to promptly resent the
insult offered their race by the attitude
in which they have been placed by the
political trickery and deception practiced
by Eaves and Wilson. The chicanery of
these two men have placed the voters of
their respective parties before the whole
country as without political principle,

THE murderous swashbuckler csndi-
date of the third party for Governor Of
North Carolina had better restrain him
self or he will get into serious trouble.
His unprovoked and deadly assault on
Mr.. Aycock was a cowardly act. AND
his exhibition of himself on the cars with
open knife and foul tongue, in the pres
ence of ladies, is simply not to be toler-
ated.
What sort Of fellow is he even to be
mentioned in connection with the great
office of Governor ? If the WeaveriJe

self respect, they would very quickly

1T HAS been very clearly established
that the candidacy Of Buchanan in Ten
nessee for governor is the result of cor
rupt bargain between the leaders of the
third party in that State and the repub
lican national committee. Ten thousand
dollars OF abe bargain money is reported
to have been paid in cash to these lead
ers, and for the payment of
the balance of the purchase money
fixed time named. This is the
way the third party leaders in Tennes-
see have sold out to the republicans.
They put the bargain money into their
pockets, and let the rank and file whis-
tie for what they can get.
A similar policy has been followed in
other Southern States, and it is charged
upon good evidence that t he third party
leaders in North Carolina have sold on,
to the republicans. Recent develop
ments furnish corroborative evidence in
proof of the Infamous transaction.

THE ISSUE STATED

Mr. Cleveland, in his speech at the
Buitaionian dinner in New York the
other night, summed up the one great
issue OF the campaign in a comprehen
sive paragraph that should be read and
pondered by every American:
On one side the claim is defsntly and
arrogantly announced that the functions
OF our government may be used directly
Tor the benefit of certain special inter
ests with at best a very remote regard
to the welfare of the masses of the people
In opposition to this an appeal is mace
to our fellow citizens to hold fast to the
doctrine that their government should
at all times be administered directly for
them and that they should not be obliged
TO receive as their share of the blessings
OF the free government they maintain
the small portion which NAV filter
through to them in the process of max
ing special beneficiaries rich. tn other
words, the democratic party is insisting
upon the honest application of the rule
that government by the people should
be government for the people.
The oath of Gideon's Band is absolute.
There is no appeal. 1t binds the person
taking it to blind obedience, and if VIC
lated in the slightest particular he forfeits
his life. 1t binds to secrecy. The grave,
according to the oath, could not be
more secret. 1t invests the chief Gideon
with power as autocratic as the powe,
possessed by the Russian Car. AND
such authority was conferred on a mar
like S. Otho Wilson! Great God, wha
could any one be thinking about to plac,
his life and property at the disposal o
such natural anarchist as Wilson
We can account for such a step upon nt
other ground than that some Of our peo
pie have allowed themselves to read bu
one side of public questions only, unit
they have become mental towards Whe
