A NOTABLE OCCASION.

"There is retribution in history"
Twice since 1865 have the Republicans
been in p.,wtr n Moth Carolina. Each
time their accession to office has been
followed by scandal, outrage, lawless-
ness. a lowering of the standard of of
ficial.integrity and loss of respect for
the. constituted authorities. The Re-
publican party in North Carolina, when
it wds in power just after the war de-
MED the right of habeas corpus and
also declared that the Judiciary was
exhausted" The government was con-
verted into an engine of oppression and
was employed to humiliate and degrade,
in so far as official persecution could
degrade, the best men in North Caro-
lima. Worse than that: under Republi-
can rule the true men of the State We're
forced to organize outside of the law
to give. the protection that the law did
not give to their wives and daughters.
-A
With the return of the Democrats to
full power in 1876, peace and quiet. and
respect for law came to bless the State,
So full was this peace and protection
that in 1894 some of the voters forgot
that it was cue to Democratic rule, and
they concluded to give the Republican
party one more chance, and again was
it verified taat history repeats itself. \
In 1894 the Republican party and it's al
lies came il to full power in North
Carolina. From the day of its control
of government. there came repetition
of the lawlessress, disorder, and vicious
persecution OF the people that had
cursed the state prior to 1876. Not only
did bad covert ment do it's perfect work,
but the rime came when in parts of
Easterni Moth Carolina the women of
the rural tiisti Scts dared not leave their
homes for fear of molestation and out
rage. Then in 1898, and in 1900 as in
1870 and in 1876, the people of the State
organized a revolution by means of the
ballot that swept from power the party
that was unable or unwilling to protect
the women of the State, the property
and the peace of the Commonwealth.
There is retribution in history as
Governor Vance said in 1876. The party
of intelligence. of ability to protect the
weak. of determination to punish the
guilty, of devotion to the constitution
has come again to it's own, and peace
and content have come to the remotest
borders of the Commonwealth.
The party will be true to it's every
pledge. 1t will protect the weak and
will bring about here in North Caro-
lima asneTSera of good feeling" The
men Who have been placed at the helm
will steer ,he ship of State in placid
waters and into a safe haven.

UNKNOWN SUICIDE.
Another Unfortunate. Weary Of Life. Ends His
Misery on Earth.

A man As or so years of age, a
stranger here, who destroyed every ev-
idence of his identity before taking
his leave OF mundane affairs, commit
ted suicide at the Baldwin Lodging
House, Tuesday morning about 10
O'Clock. The deed was done by As
calibre revolver, Mrs. Baldwin, the
proprietress finding him sitting in a
chair with the pistol held in both
hands and a fearful wound in his fore.
head. The Coroner was notified and
the body was moved by him to the
drugstore below, but the victim of des.
peration had been dead for some time
and soon thereafter found q resting
place on the marble slab ut Bates
morgue.
It is thought by the police that the
suicide came to this place on Wednes-
day of last week, as on that day he
was seen for the first time by them.
Since then he was seen frequently, but
never in q saloon, and the belief is
that Whisky, the scapegoat for many
such affairs, is not in this case to
blame.
Mrs. Baldwin, on entering his room
Monday evening, found the man en-
ployed in burning letters and bits of
paper. She says he seemed despond-
ent and scarcely noticed her entrance
or exit. and as the lights in his room
were not turned on that night, it is
probable that the terrible act was
committed soon after she had left the
room. As Mrs. B. is quite deaf it is
not surprising that she should fail 10
hear the shot through double walls.
A post m0rfem examination was
held of the remains, but for what OBJ
ject except cadaver-practice does not
appear. II such examinations led to
discovery Of the cause of the act,
there might be some excuse for disco.
ton and dissertation OF the earthly
tenement of an immortal soul, but
otherwise there should be some respect
shown for tho dead, though the body
be that OF an unknown victim OF mis-
fortune.

DEATH OF JUDGE BAILEY.

the Community Good Citizen.

Judge David E. Bailey. one Of
Olympia's most respected citizens and
"a prominent practitioner at the State
bar, died in Lane hospital. San Fran.
cisco, Saturday afternoon. The in
formation Of his death came in a dis.
patch to Arthur Callow, and caused q
feeling Of sorrow to rervade the whole
community.
Judge Bailey left this place about a
fortnight ago in the hope that resi-.
dence for time in a milder climate
would be Of benefit to his health
which had been on decline for many
months and finally resulting in that
dread disease. consumption. He ar.
rived in safety at his destination, and
a postal card announced that he had
not suffered any perceptible injury
from the trip. His death. therefore,
came as a great shock, for it was
thought that the main danger was in
the unavoidable exposure incident ia
travel.
Judge Bailey was q native Of Ohio,
and came to this State settling in
this city in 1891. He began the prac-
tice OF bis profession associated with
Lawton aud Church, and afterwards
continued the business by himself
He was 70 years of age, leaves no rela-
tives here, but it is said had distant
connections living in Troy, Ohio.
Deceased was high and honored

OF the jurisdiction of Nevada. He
was buried with the honors of the
order in San Francisco.
