willing to sacrifice themselves for the
office of governor of the state of North
Carolina.
THE GLOBE, in its devil may-go.care
way, has taken no sides and cares to take
no sides. 1t thanks COP that it is big
enough and broad enough to see all sides
and hear, without interference, all claims
which may be set up.
This paper is broad enough to know
that other religions are as much entitled
to respect as its own creed it knows that
other social customs which it does not
wildly endorse are perhaps as good AS
those which it does endorse; it feels that
ether men have rights and should enjoy
privileges; it views with honest admira-
ton virtue in all parties and in ali public
men. Never narrow and never hypercriti-
cal, THE GLOBE accords to all the right
of an opinion and it then in turn demands
the same freedom of thought and express
sion which it accords to others.
That there is to be a good sized tussle
"a real skirmish which means business
in the fall fight for governor-there can
be no doubt.
1t is without question the prerOgative
of every American citizen to whoop up
his own cause, or have his nearest friends
whoop it up for him. THE GLOBE, which
is independent, which sees virtue and ad-
mirable qualities in all parties and which
is not narrow enough to see self or friend
or foe in any party, proposes in the COM
ing campaign to speak its mind without
restriction.
In the first place, EX CONGRESSMAN
JOHN NICHOLS will doubtless have a fol
lowing which will reach gratifying dimen-
sions to his friends in the republican con-
vention Of the state. Others will follow
in that convention, but at this distance it
is certain that NICHOLS will lead.
In the alliance party, which Polk has
disgraced, ELIAS CARR and G. w. SAN
DERLIN will perhaps contest for the honor
of adjoining the top of the state ticket
year.
And while it must be remembered that
both are good citizens, there will be some
question about SANDERLIN leaving the
democratic party to consort with the al
lance party-simply and merely to catch
votes.
The Wilmington Messenger, DIR KINGS
BURY in the chair. and a grand old man,
says about the following named candi-
There are several gentlemen promi-
nentlY named as the democratic candi-
date for governor in the approaching
campaign. REPRESENTATIVE ALEXAN-
DER, who is reported as not desiring
the place, REV. DR.. G. w. SANDERLIN,
Mr.. J. r. WEBSTER, GOVERNOR HOLT
and Col. JULIAN S. CARR have all been
mentioned in the public prints from time
to time as possibilities. GOVERNOR HOLT
has given satisfaction and made reputa-
ton since he came into office. He is
DESTROYS, it has been often announced, of
a nomination for the place he has well
filled. 1t is said that the Alliance will
not support him. Mr.. ALEXANDER is
popular with the Alliance and is withal
a good democrat we believe. His nomi
would probably. give satisfaction
to a considerable majority of his party.
DR.. SANDERLIN has many friends. He
is a we'll known Baptist minister of lib
eral education and is said to make a
particularly good stump speech. If he
can command the Alliance vote he would
make a safe candidate.
1t has been given out that Col. j. S.
CARR would not accept the nomination
and vas not a candidate for the nomi-
This is a mistake. COLONEL
CARR's name will be presented to the
and he will be warmly sup
for the place. He is in the fight
and will accept the nomination if ten
dered him. He would make an excel
lent governor for North Carolina. He is
a man of excellent business talents, as
has been conspicuously shown in his
management of one of the greatest in
in the South. A graduate of
the University, a man of large fortune, a
