Well. that's the way with the
they can't get Office
one way they will tly it an
other; if they can't stand on their
own principles(?) they will
fuse with the Republicans-any-
thing for office. In fact, the Rep
Pop-Fusion is entirely devoid of
anyprinciplein common as to gov
eminent. They have fused simply
for Office, and the entire gist OF
their Legislation at Raleigh, so
far, is for the purpose of perpet-
uating themselves in office. 1t is
q radical Legislature to the core.
THE Bentonsville Monument
committee constantly receive let
tiers asking for information in re-
gard to the monument and 1en
it is to be unveiled. We will state
the time proposed is March 10Th
or goth, which is the anniversary
Of that battle. A portion Of the
monument has already gone up
and an installment will be sent
as soon as the freshet in the
river subsidies. There will be
quite a crowd present and the
Rifles will go up to make the I'M
yelling a grand affair worthy of
the brave men who fell.
The Charlotte Ne1Cs of Tues
day says: 'GoLdsboro did a very
silly thing in ordering the Uncle
Toms Cabin company out Of
town and refusing to let it show
there. The time for actions of
that kind has passed. Those
who did not want to go to the
show had the right to stay
away, but the company should
not have been molested." The
Nctcs is informed that Colds
boro is perfectly ableto hold up its
end of the log and regulate its
internal affairs. Perhaps the
Nctrs would say .thao Goldsboro,
did a very silly thing" in roll
ing up d 500 Democratic majority
in the late election and, that
Charlotte did the proper thing,
in slumping to the enemy. Take
that and wear it."
