The Democratic executive commit
tee for the seventh congressional dis
trict met at Salisbury yesterday, NJ.
II. Pinnix, of Lexington, being chair
man.
The Raleigh Signal will publish the
list of delegates to the late Republican
State convention by counties, designat-
ing each one who is an otfice-holder.
1t will be an interesting list
When you hear a man denouncing
the "old parties" the Lumberton
RobesOntan says, ask him if be is a
Democrat. Should his answer be
'yes." remind him that the Democratic |
party is as old as the constitution.
Henderson county is one of the first
in the State to hold lis convention
1t was held last Saturday. The fel.
lowing were elected delegates to the
Democratic State convention: George
II. Z. Cole, G. Few, Charles F. Jones,
NJ. F. Farmer, A Cannon and \. |
<. Posey.
1t was reported yesterday that Pam
lico had instructed its delegates to the
Democratic State convention TO vote
for Sanderlin for Governor, Skinner
for Lieutenant Governor, Coke for
secretary of State, Marion Butler for
auditor, Osborne for attorney general
and Scarborough for superintendent of
public instruction.
The Lumberton Robesonian sounds
the slogan when it says: "The Re-
publicans are counting confidently
upon taking possession of the State
government in the early winter. What
say you all? Shall we stand silently
by-consenting. Let every town and
village in Robson county organize
Democratic club at once! Sound the
i slogan"
The Lenoir Topic says: "The reac-
tion has set in in North Carolina and
for ten days has been growing. Demo
cratic principles are asserting them
selves and are rapidly brushing aside
the Third party, St. Louis heresies.
Elias Carr sounded note of warning
that reverberated from one end of the
State to the other, and now Harry
Skinner has fallen into line and taken
up the refrain. The skies are clear
ing in every county. A wonderful
change has taken place in our neigh
Dor, Catawba, in ten days. And SO it
goes all over the State. Democratic
principles will triumph"
The Goldsboro Argus has had a call
from Mr.. Perry Cox, who says that
the attempt of Messrs. w. ii. Worth
w. S. Barnes and J. J. Dunn to bols-
ter up Mr.. Butler in the emergency
that has befallen him is rather strange
proceeding on their part, knowing
their views as he does, having so re-
Gently talked with them fully at Raleigh
: and discussed Buffers plans with them
$ Mr.. Cox further says that he is sur
prised at their card and is at loss to
: understand what manner of men they
|. are. The Argus adds: The wrangl
/ between Mr.. Swinson of Wayn
, county Alliance, and Mr.. Butler G
the State Alliance, is fair sample c
the condition of things so wailingl
depicted in l.. L. Polk's call for st
O cret Alliance meeting. There is wa
k out of all this trouble. 1t is for thef
n to stand true to the party of the peopl
W and for the people. 1t never gets Ia
re tied, and fights an open fight.
lt These words, uttered by the Cha
ham Record, have the true Democrat
sound: 1T is decidedly cool, if II,
cheeky, for the Third party leaders
s. be boasting of their Democracy. b.
be it is not strange or surprising, for
,e. has usually been the case with tho
r.. Democrats who have heretofore d
of serted their party. 1t has certain
been the custom with them in th
county. In nearl y every campaign
Chatham, for the past twenty yeaI
one or more disaffected Democrat b
run for some office. and in every spec
= he would boast of his Democracy
- - declare that be was "as good Den
y crat as anybody and pretend to
very indignant if anybody doubted
Democracy. And yet at the We
Ird next election, and ever since then,
on voted the Republican ticket. A
tn that is exactly what the Third par
1t leaders will do. While they prete
gh now to be ''as good Democrats as ar
nta body" yet, like the so called "In'
ain pendent" candidates who have so of
nth run in Chatham, they will finally
ull- come full fledged Republicans. Ma
vas this prediction, Some of the Th
igh party leaders actually have the aud
ON ity and are guilty of the mendacity
ere whiningly complaining that they hs
ain been .read out of the party" wi
1t they have deliberately deserted
ror. party and have publicly declared th
the purpose to abandon it foreverl
the no. This cannot be. No person
nge paper has either the inclination or
aims power to read any Democrat ou
