WHAT DID PAPA SAY?
MISS TRIVVkT PALE AND
BREATHLESS, ASKED THE
QUESTION.

Just as young Mr. Dolley was
about to bid good night to Miss
Trivvet, the gaslight in the hall
burning low, he drew her to him
and stole a kiss. And at that
moment Mr.. Trivvet emerged
from the library door and came
forward. "Oh, dear" said the
maiden in a gaspy whisper, 81
am afraid papa saw you" Her
fear deepened into a certainly as
her father approached and said
to Mr.. Dolley, young man, |
want to speak to you in the libra
ry for minute OF two"
Mr.. Dolley followed Mr.. Triv-
vet sheepishly, and the door
closed behind them. The girl,
pale and breathless, anxiety pic
tured ali over her countenanCe,
hid behind the drawing room
portiere, that she might have a
word with Mr.. Dolley in case her
father should allow the young
man to go to the door unattend-
ed.
Her eyes were fixed on the
closed library door, visible to her
retreat behind the curtain, and
she tried to divine what was
passing therein. Would Mr..
Dolley be forbidden to come to
the house again? Would her
papa forbid her to think of him?
Size had heard of such orders is
suing from parental authority,
and already she was debating how
she and he could evade them.

a United Democracy Can
Redeem The State.

A united Democracy can re-
deem the State this year, but if
the party divides, there is no
hope of success. Democratic de-
feat means Republican victory.
Every honorable effort must be
made to hold the party together.
All true Democrats must work
and vote for every Democratic
nominee, county, state and ma
tional. When did it become
Democratic doctrine, that Den>
ocrat must bolt the nominees of
the party, if they do not happen
to agree with him on monetary
or other questions, whether po-
litical or non-pol1tical3 The
rule heretofore has always been
to stand by the party and to sup
port i'll good faith all its nomi-
nees. The majority will control
in the long run, and in the mean
time the minority must submit.
Whatever may be the differences
or controv ersies among Demo-
Gratis, let us settle them all inside
the party. There is no other
hope Of accomplishing results
and no other party will bring the
people any relief, What has be-
come of the "Greenback Party?"
How can the "Populist Party"
help the people to good govern
ment and a better currency?
That organization has about run
the course. Another party with
another name and other prin-
ciples viii! probably arise from
its ashes this year or two years
hence. Why should any Demo-
crat leave his party? What can
he hope to gain by leaving the
Democratic Party and joining or
"fusins' with the Populists or
any other new party to be Or
gained this year:o The1e are
only two real parties in North
Carolina to -day--the Democratic
and Republican. The latter
party has about swallowed up
the greatest part of the Populists.
