The Durham daily globe. (Durham, N.C.) 1889-1894, 1893-09-08
SLATE MAKERS AT 1T.

With undoubted advantages and per-
haps, after carefully surveying the field,
the Charlotte Observer, with what we
take as great labor, gives birth to the fol-
lowing:
Not infreQuently, even thus early, one sees
| in the state press suggestions of the Oncoming
of the next senatorial campaign in North Caro-
lima. JARVIS is already stripped and girded
for the fight and RANSOM is always ready for
the onset. 1t has been whispered that WAD
DELL will enter the lists again, and in inner
| circles there is a rumor that STEDMAN may go
to the house from B~uncombe, stand for
speaker, and if elected run up a senatorial
lightning rod. We do not know how these two
two last things may be but as VANCE said the
other day. the string Of the bow Of ULYSSES
warned him of approaching danger by singing
a song of battle and Of ~strife.' The song of
the string of RANsOM's bow is doubtless sound
ing, already, day and night, in his ears, but he
has beard it many times before, and has not
| ScI DCcH dI-CDCdiCAJ vi Us
GOD bless him!
There is no longer any use to disguise
the se~cret-because it is no longer a
secret, concerning the opposition to
MATT RANsoM's candidacy. A successor
to Mr.. RANSOM must be chosen, and
when it comes to a proposition as to
what Mr.. RANSOM has done for North
Carolina-save and except a few public
buildings which he obtained for over
jealous constituents, we believe that it
will be proven that Mr.. RANSOM, in his
old age, is not the man we wish to retain.
MIR. RANSOM has long enough been
honored by the state of North Carolina,
and he should know, and doubtless does
know, that it is time he was ringing off.
There may be other men apart from
Mr.. STEDMAN and MR.. JARVIS, about
whom the esteemed Observer talks.
Mr.. JARVIS came to this town and
lauded MR.. WAsHINGTON DUKE to the
skies. He went to Reidsville, and if MIR.
WEBSTER is to be believed, and we be-
Iieve him, he denounced the man he had
praised in Durham, and predicted disas-
ter, not only to his private enterprises,
but disaster to the benevolent institution
he had largely helped to sustain. No
honest man wants any such dissembler
as JARVIS to represent him in any place
or for any cause
So far as the N concerning STED-
MAN is concerned, MIR. STEDMAN, who
recently left Wilmington to go to the
mountains, is assuming too much. MIR.
WADDELL, spoken of by the Observer,
might be good material for a magistrate
or member of the legislature land GOD
love HIM but for him to claim a right
to go to the senate of the United States
opposing MATT RANSOM, would be an
objectionable sin.
The GLOBE believes that a new day
has dawned.
While Mr.. MATT RANSOM is a gentle
man, and no man can successfully dis.
pute it, there is 10 reason why he should
hold a life term in office. There are other
men equally as deserving, and they should
have their share.
JARVIS should never receive ANYTHING,
because he has always been a cheap hang
er-On.
We hope that the next legislature will
be a body of intelligent gentlemen, who
will throw overheard all the miserable
parasites, political bummers and hangers
on, leeches and barnacles, and elect in
telligent gentlemen who will choose a
senator, and in choosing him voice the
sentiments of the people.
With due respect to the esteemed Char.
lotte Observer, we take it that MIR MATT
Ransom will not be in it.
THE TARIFF TIMERS.
