TOO FREHTENT ELECTIONS.

TIE DEMOCRAT proposes to keep this
subject before the people until the
meeting Of the next Legislature. We
propose to ask that body to take the
proper steps looking to change IN our
elections, making them less frequent.
\ lady who Is Il constant reader OF
TIE DEMOCRAT writes that she endOrs-
es our position. She sees many Of the
evils of the system and thinks that it
would be wise in our Lawmakers to az
range for less frequent elections One
gentleman who has attended two OF
three county conventions, a State con
ventiOn and Congressional cOnven-
ton this wear already, said to US few
days ago that his personal expense had
already been enough to pay large
part Of the tuition for the education OF
his children this year. And 50 it af
fcctS all who take part in the current
political interests. Hundreds of gOOC
men spend their time and money il
getting ready for the campaign an6
hundreds more spend their time anC
money in the active work of the cam
paign. and in many cases the men who
do the most are least able financially
And all this comes every two years nc

IN THOROTGH ACCORD.

Judge Connor's letter to Judge How
ard which we print elsewhere shows
beyond any doubt that his democracy
is still above suspicion. He is one of
the truest and best men in the State
and as Judge won for himself the very
highest esteem Of the people Of all
North Carolina. In personal letter
to the editor Of this paper, referring to
the report that he has POpul Istic ten

unqualifiedly by false There has never

for a moment doubted the principles

ough accord with the platform. prin-

There has been no ground at all to
doubt Judge COnnOrs democracy and
his letter to Judge Howard and his
declaration here settle the question
for good and ALL Would that all men
would stand for principle and right
as soidIv as Judge Connor.

EDGECOUBE ALL RIGHT.

TIE DEMOCRAT could not believe
that EdgecOmbe Democrats we're going
to be idle in the fight, Notwithstanding
their candidate for Congress was not
nominated. After quoting this paper
in some editorial comments made two
weeks ago on the reported lukewarm-
ness of EdgecOmbe Democrats. the Tar
borO SoWhernrr makes the fOllOwjno
reassuring pledge for Edgecombe
Simple justice requires that it shall
be understood that the incident refer
ed to did not reflect the sentiment Of
Dr. Speight the Democracy of Edge
combe or any considerable portion OF
our delegation in the Rocky Mount
convention. We beg to assure our es-
teemed contemporary that the Democ-
racy OF Edgecombe will not be actual
ed by any spirit of resentment in this
campaign, but, responding to the high.
er calls of patriotism and party tealtv
will do such valiant battle in behalf OF
Mr. WoOdard as will fully satisfy him
and make him and ourselves forget
that we ever had choice other than
himself.

SPEAKER CRISP s RINGING
WORDS.

Speaker Crisp spoke in Atlanta a Re"
nights ago. He said some very bold
things. We quote the closing para
graphs
We voted upon a proposition to re-
peal the tax upon the circulation 81
State bank currency. / believe that
our people would derive more lmme-
date benefit from the repeal Of that
law than from almost any other leelsia-
ton that could be had. Against Us on
the question were found many Demo
Gratis. all the Republicans and all the
PopulIsts a majority thus constituted
defeated our efforts and the repeal blll
failed. This question is not settled.
We have repealed all Federal cleo
ton laws. Laws which permitted the
interference of outsiders with our do
u este affairs, and which were used
only to defeat the will Of the people.
We have passed a law which subjects
to taxation by the States more than
$500 600 900 which under Republican
laws was exempt from taxation, thus re-
lieying, to some extent, the burdens OF
the tax payer. We have reduced pub
lie expenditures some S4O,OOO,OOO fol
the current year.
| Here at home we are challenged by
the Peoples party. This organization
has candidates. and it has platform OF
principles. OF the candidates shall
say nothing. They are presumed to be

tains some planks which are new anc
some which are old. These which are

NORFOLk IS Il HORSE III RkET

Norfolk VUginian.
Outside of the State Of Kentucky
Norfolk as a horse market stands head
and shoulders above any city in the
South. and this fact is due more to the
energy and pluck of the we'll known
proprietors of the Norfolk Horse Ex-
change, Mess. McCleary & Mcclellan,
than anything else. Four years ago
their sales per annum scarcely amount
ed to 400 head
They now amount to between 1000
and 5000 head For instance, from an
inspection Of their sale books yesterday
representative of the Ti1ginion found
that from January list, of this year, to
April LIST, the firm sold on commission
alone 1888 head of horses OF the gen
eral run and seventy-hve head of very
fine animals.
In fact this firm has varied the
standard Of the horse market in Nor
folk 70 compare with amy market in
Kentucky. Their business has grown
immensely during the past year and it
is a common thing to see hundreds OF
people in attendance at their auction
sales who live miles away.
These people buy of McCleary &
Mcclellan and besides spend hundreds
of dollars here which greatly helps the
city. Before the firm began the regu.
lar weekly auction sale of horses many
of these people who are constant Wis
lstors had now had never been to Nor
folk. Now they come and bring THEN
hands with them to handle the ami
mails which they buy. 1t is fair tC
say that such an establishment as tina,
of McCleary & Mcclellan is q great
benefit to the city. Their feed bills
alone amount to thousands, beside.

numerous employees.

A favorable report has been made from

on the bill providing for the retirement
of certain officers of the revenue cutter

than a quarter of a century there has been
not one line of legislation looking to the
promotion of the efficiency OF the revenue
cutter service nor for any other purpose
in its behalf save the annual appropria-
tions for Its maintenance. To retire the
thirty officers who would be eligible for
retirement would require $500 additional
to the amount now appropriated
