to the honest platform of tn Dem
ocratic party aud to the supper
of the peerless man of destiny
Grover Cleveland.
Mr.. W. E.. Best, of Snow Hill, on,
of Greene county's best farmers ant
unterrifed Democrats, was in thu
a:ty Tuesday.
THR family of Rev. @. L.. Hof-
man, rector of st. Stephens church
returned to their home in this city
Tuesday from spending several
weeks in the western part of the
State.
So, Gen. Weaver admits that he
said the outrageous things about the
Southern people,and especially about
the Confederate soldiers, with which
he has been charged, but excuses
himself on the ground that he was
fighting the Democratic party. But
what is he doing down South
now but fighting the Democratic
party? Can it be justly said that the
people of the South ale intollerant
when they refuse TO take any stock
in Weaver?
SAYS the Raleigh News- Observer
of Tuesday: "We had the pleasure
of hearing Mr.. Avcock, Democratic
candidate for Elector, speak here
yesterday, and were greatly pleased
with his address. Mr.. Aycock is a
fine speaker and is a master of his
subject. He handsomely mai tanned
his reputation as one of the best of
our campaigners and his speech gave
great satisfaction to those who heard
it. We wish every Weaverite in the
county could have heard it,"
The South honors a brave man
whether he wore the gray OF the
blue, whether he be Democrat,
Republican or Peoples partyite.
1t scorns a coward like Weaver
in whatever garb he appears. The
precipitat, fight of the Weaver
Lease combination from Geor-
gia is the laughing stock of the
country. 1t has demonstrated that
the general" is great only in the
interest. We are glad to observe and
know that this distinguished (?)
party is receiving cold comfort dur
ng his unheralded and precil itated
retreat in North Carolina.
IT has leaked out that a corrupt
bargain has been made by the Re
publican managers and the leaders
of the Third party in Wayne county,
that the Republican leaders r to
deliver to the Third party the negro
vote to insure the success Of the
party ticket. In exchange
the Third party are to reduce the
wages of the negro to SO q month
and the price of cotton picking in
proportion, so as 10 enable them to
make some profit out of cotton at
the present low prices. Colored
men, are you prepared to allow your
to be used in consummating
this nefarious bargain?
IT is with real pleasure that The
ARGUS chronicles the return to the
buggy business in Goldsboro Mr.. r.
E, Jones, the "only origina1"-the
nioneer of the buggy trade snd man
ntacture in this city. The extensive
buggy establishment of Capt. J. B.
Edgerton, at Jones' old stand, on
Walnut street, has been purchas-
ed by Mr.. j. F. Switzerland and
Mr.. r. E. Jonee has been secured
% manager of the business. He is
posted in every style of
vehicle that rolls on wheels, and his
reputation for reliable dealing is
long established throughout the
trading territory of Goldsboro.
THE Board of County Commits,
were in session in this city
with all the members of
the board in attendance. The ap-
pointmeut of poll holders for the
coming election for the various voting
precincts throughout the city and
county attracted great interest and
considerable dlsputation finally the
board decided to give the Third
party a representative at every poll
ing place. This decision makes but
four poll holders still as here
tofore, one Republican, one Third
partyite and two Democrats. Why
the Board of Commissioners did
not go further and appoint
also a prohibitionist, a Green hacker,
a woman fufferagist, SC, sc. &c, ad-
infnitum, We are at a loss to under
stand. Or, rather, Ws afe at 3 loss to
understand why they at all depart
ed from the beaten track of the
law and recognized q party that is
WITHOUT organization, without prin.
ciple and Vithout the semblance of
wholesome politics OF equal justice
in it's platform.
