\ TIMELY WARNING.
How to use Victory and How to Win Fu-
ture Battles.

ture Battles.
EDITOR CAUCASIAN:
1t was said Of Hannibal, the great
Carthagenian general, that lie knew
how TO win victory but not how 10
use it. The Democratic editors of
the State are now painfully cosciouS
of the fact that the populist leaders
know how to win a victory at the
polls, but they barber the hope that
like Hannibal they will not know how
to utilize this success, and that mis-
takes may be made which will en-
able them to rally their demorallzed
forces two years hence and recapture
the fort. Let them clay this tlatter-
ing JUNCTION to their souls" and "roll
it as a sweet morsel under their
tongues" They cannot cherish
such a delusion long, for am per-
suaded that wise and patriotic coun-
sells will characterize the course of
the party placed in power and that
two years hence the people will vote
to secure the government "of the
people, by the people and for the
people" in preference to a tyranny
over the people, by monopolies, and
for mcnopolies. The battle for good
government has just begun. The
contest two years hence will be the
battle royal. The tools of monopoly
will be busy these two years. The
"ring politicians" and monopoliet
will seek to SOW the seeds of discorC
in the ranks of the Peoples Party
Saton himself when he tempted Eve
in the garden of Eden, was, accord
ing to Milton, forced to appeal t.
her desire to possess knowledge equa
to the wisdom Of God. The assass
ins of Ceasar prevailed upon his be
loved Brutas to join the conspirac,
by appealing to his ambition
The enemies of the Peoples part.
will adapt similar tactics. The,
will strive to stir up envy and dis
content among the people agains
the Populist leaders by dwelling up
on their good fortune and telling tn
!, people that these leaders are SeltisI
and no more deserving of such re
wards than the rank and file Of tn
party. Populist, beware Of tn
tempter when he approaches you il
this manner. They "come to yo

the Peoples party depends, as it ha
always, upon the people themselve!

NO DISSENT.

This statement was made in the
presence Of two Democrats without
dissent or qualification. On the con
trary one Of them said in corrobera-
ton that he could name 30 Demo
Gratis in one neigh5orhood who re-
fused to vote the Democratic ticket
from apprehension that Democrat
ic Legislature would re-elect Sena-
tor Ransom. But whether Demo
Gratis stayed at home or voted, the
result was none the less an emphatic
protest against 'bossism0 and ma
chine" dlctation in State politics.
If any great sorrow obtains in the
State on account of it the bereave-
ment is not reflected in the talk and
bearing of visiting Democrats.

MIR. GILLIS AFFIDAVIT.
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA,

CUMBERLAND COUNTY, ss.
d. B. Gillis being duly sworn says
that the precinct returns in Cum
berland county show that Herbert
+. Seawell and Neil A. Mclean re-
ceived the entire vote for Solicitor,
no one else being voted for. The
county Board of Canyassers, Of which
af1iant was Chairman, canvassed the
vote and found and declared that
Herbert T. Seawell received 1860
votes. and that Neill A. Mclean re-
ceived 2,271 votes. That /, as
Chairman Of Said Board of county
canyassers, after the said vote of
Cumberland county was canvassed,
made the public declaration in the
presence of the Board that Herbert
T. Seawell had received 2,269 votes
for Solicitor and that Neill A. Nc
Lean had received 2,271 votes for
Solicitor. That the returns Of the
election were filled up with the
name of II. L. Seawell instead of
Herbert T. Seawell by clerical er-
ror, which was not noticed at the
time. One of these returns was
filed by me as Chairman of the said
Board with the Clerk Of the Superb
or Court of Cumberland county,
through the hands of the Sheriff of
said county. Another one Of these
returns | mailed to the Secretary OF
State at Raleigh. All Of these re.
turns were signed by me as Char.
man of the county Canvassing
Board, and when | signed them il
was with the understanding and be-
lief that they were drawn up and
filled up in accordance with The
vote as actually cast and as ap.
pears by the original precinct re-
turns and as declared by the board
of county Canvassers, to-wit, Herber
f. Seaweu and Neill A. Mclean.
In order to place myself right OIL
the record and that justice may be
done to Herbert T. Seawell, and tina
he may not be made to suffer by {;
clerical mistake, | desire that the re
turns which | sent to the Secretar,
of State shall be corrected so tina
it will speak the truth, and show
that Herbert +. Seawell, instead o
H. L. Seawell, received the vote fo
Solicitor in Cumberland county a
: above set forth.
And I now request the Board t
allow me to make the correction o
what is purely a mistake, and which
unless corrected, does not show th
true result of the said election fo
Solicitor in Cumberland county a
declared by the Board of count
, Canvassers in said county.

Dear Sir:-Your favor of the 18th inst is

that Secretary Foster, before he left the de-

bonds to be prepared, but the s5o,oO0,0oo
of bonds issued in February last were not
engraved upon the plates-that is to say, the

The Christmas exercises on Tuesday evening were we'll attended. The church was nearly filled with people. The children did credit to themselves in their songs and recitations. A large choir rendered excellent music. The songs were particularly fine and Mir G. DeHart had drilled the singers so tbst the songs were given with splendid ef- feet. The singing, which included that grand anthem "Glory to God in the Highest" was followed by scripture reading and prayer by the pastor. A sail boat, with Master Ed. Goodwin as captain and Master James Garfield at the helm, fully rigged and loaded with presents, stood on the platform, a pyramid of oranges and decorated pail full of candies at the bow, lights burn ing at the top of the mast and all about on the edge of the platform and on the sides of the steps. When the curtain went up the view was superb. The su- perintendent of the Sunday school, Mir George s.

Baby Farming.

Some of the state papers have tried to make some sensational capital out of the story of a ''baby farming" establish ment in tbls town. We are not called on to report the case or make it the sub- ject of extended comment. We will merely remark that it is perfectly le- Ritimate business to take care of infants, whose parents cannot or will not take care of them, and that nothing worse has been alleged against MT and Mrs Abel Stevens than that they might, per haps, be better housekeepers. It is ad- mitted that the little waifs were we'll cared for, and, when old enough, sent to school. Nobody can be held respon sible for the conduct ofsuch mental and moral imbeciles as the young woman in the case.
