A CARD.

I think and feel that I owe to the
good people of Wayne County an
explanation, and desire to say that
on account of some seeming infu-
nces against me in the late Demo
cratic County Convention, I felt
agrieved, and while in this state of
mind, without fully and carefully
considering the matter, I expressed
myself unguardedly.
Upon mature reflection, and know
ing it is infinitely more noble to
suffer injustice than to commit a
wrong, I, therefore, take this occa-
sion to say that under no circum-
stances will I aid or abet cause
that would be detrimental to the
people who have not only honored
me, but have been my steadfast
friends.
I am not candidate for the office
of Sheriff.
I propose to be consistent to the
obligation that rests upon me as q
delegate to the convention that
nominated the splendid ticket which
is presented for the suffrage of the
good people of Wayne county.
I am, if anything, loyal to the
highest interests of the people, and
shall take my stand with the good
people of the county, as I have al
ways heretofore, and intend still to
dc.
I hope with this statement I shall
set the matter at rest, and that ]
shall never be a party to any act thai
shall disrupt the Democratic party
or be detrimental to the welfare O.
our people, Let us rally around oul
ticket and elect it.
I desire to thank the good people
of Wayne county for the honors an6
kindness of the past and hope at al
times to merit their kindness ant
good will.
Respectfully,
JAMES Ell. GRANT.

Charlotte Observer.
The weekly papers received at
this Office yesterday from all
parts of the State are filed with
cheering reports of Democratic
gains. It is not idle talk, for in all
cases the papers can substantiate
the claims that they make. Judg-
ing from the tone of the weekly
press-and on local politics there
is no better authority than the
country paper-the Democrats are
aroused as they have not been
since 1876. The odds against them
now are really not so great as
they were then. and the political
developments of each passing day
only SO to strengthen the convic-
tion of a sweeping Democratic
victory in North Carolina next
Nevem ber. One cannot read the
weekly papers of the State and
believe otherwise.

DEAFNESS Cannot BE CURED

by lceal applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There's only one way to cure Deafness
that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube When this tube gets
infiamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh. which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces

RE-POP4ICAN CONVENTION.
A FUSION COUNTY AND LEG.
ISLA1IVE TICKET aNOMI-
MATED,
With the Brother in Black, ,
Who Does the Voting, Left
off and Out.
1t IS a Caucus Ticket

Notwithstanding the fact that the
slogan upon which the Populist par
ty was formed was anti Caucus, !"
anti Trust and anti-"gold bugs
it has studiously adhered to eau
cuses; it has openly pandered to
trusts and has invariably fused with
and voted for ''gold bugs on every
opportunity.
And SO Saturday, when the Wayne
county Populist convention met in
this city, for hours its session was
with closed doors-in Caucus" the
purpose of which was to formulate a
fusion ticket, and when everything
was ''cut and dried" the doors were
thrown open and the convention
'Ecalled to order" by J. Fl Caldwell,
chairman of the Populist County
Executive Committee, who requested
Mr.. M. E. Cox to act as temporary
chairman, and T. o. Kelly as secre
tary, and then the temporary organ
ization was made permanent, but
old man Caldwell continued to run
the meetin', just the same.
It was decided to nominate the
candidate for the Senate from this
county to the Senatorial convention
first, and Dr. J. E. Person was there
upon unanimously recommended.
The following county ticket was
then read off from the ''slate'' and
duly nominated.
House-Nathan A. Howell, Thos
[. Sutton.
Sheriff-M. B. Farmer.
Clerk-M. E. Cox.
Register of Deeds-Walter c..
O'Berry
Treasurer-Jas. FL. Johnson.
Surveyor-Left open.
Coroner-J. H. Caldwell
Commissioners-T. E. Hodgin.
z. p. Davis, Jno W. DAILY.
There were, by actual and accu
rate count, seventy Populists in at
tendance, and we believe this is
about the quota of that party s
strength in Wayne county, who
with about fifty white Republicans
have arrogated to themselves all the
Offices, and while they would not
permit negro to have a single Office
on the ticket or any representation
in the caucus" they look to then
for their entire vote under the par
tyn lash.
In the deal the Republicans arr
given Sheriff, Register of Deeds, one
member of the house, and Hodgi1
for County Commissioner" The col
ored people of the county, we un
derstand, who do virtually all tht
voting, asked for representation, bu
the white Republicans ''winked tn,
other eye, and the Populists knew
that it meant, ''we'll hold the 'nigge1
In line, go ahead and give us the of
fees" and there you are.
"Anything to beat the Demo
J crats''-provided WE get the offices
is the cry of the Populists But i
! this the sentiment of the colore,
man, who does the voting, but is ig
nored on the ticket? Did not the col
; ored people have better government
better schools, better wages, an,
: better times generally when tn
| Democrats were in power? The
: know that they did Why then shoul
they vote for anything to beat th
: Democrats" when they themselve
are ignored on the ticket and are th
greatest sufferers under fusion rule
