promises-they are promising every

call upon ''all Christian gentlemen" to
help the party. No, captain, we don't
want to be buncoed again. No "Ohris

any more Democratic financial reform
YET awhile. The last dose was enough
for any christian gentl man." A

evident dislike for the present State ad-
ministration we will bring up q little
matter of history. But for a very
small accident, if it may be so termed,
Capt. Kitchen would to day have been
a part of it. The legislature OF 1894
elected Capt. Kitchen Superintendent
of the P~enisentiary. Owing to a slight
technical error in the bill as passed,
the old Democratic Board of Direc
tors could not be displaced, and the
captain failed to get control. He was
a Populist in those days. But we all
remember that the captain and his new
Board of Directors stood in the rain at
the p~enitentiary gates n day for an
hour or two demanding a~dmittance,
which was refused by the Democratic
Board then in session. Had the cap
tain succeeded in breaking in on that
memorable occasion he would hardly
be writing Democratic creeds in these
days. But such is life.
Another matter may have escaped
the captains notice. While he is now
writing of a reformed and regenerated
Democracy, he seems to forget that
the party may fall from grace ere the
tides of next November roll around.
The party may, at the bequest of Tam
many, declare against free coinage or
assume a straddling position as it has
often done before. Then OIL where

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The political campaign is waxing
warm again. The Democrats r charg
ing the Populists with wanting office.
The wave of prosperity struck the
Piedmont bank, at Morganton, last
week, and now it is in the hands Of a
receiver.
The proceedings of the Democratic
Executive Committee should have ap
peared in the WANT column" They
want pie.
The Democrats believe that the proof
Of the pudding is in chewing the bag,
and therefore want to chew the North
Carolina pudding bag some more.
Col. Buck Kitchen says the Demo
Gratis have become divorced from Wall
street. However, we notice that the
Executive Committee congratulates
Tammany on its recent success.
Brother Warner, of the Lexington
Dispatch, wants to get the state out of
the clutches of the vampires who are
now IN control" He however, failed
20 say what kind of people controlled
Fammsny. His brethren of the com
mittee congratulated Tammany, on its
success, don't you knows"
