JOSEPHUS DANIELS.
That announcement WAS greeted with
sneers and derision by the Fusion press
and the Fusion leaders. Their papers
teemed with cheap wit and the editor was
termed sarcastically, 1.-The State Saver. "
The following editorial appeared in the
Daily Caucasian of January 30th, which
was then printed as the daily organ of
the Fusion Legislature:
MIR. DANIELS RESIGNATION.
The Caucasian intended to notice Mr..
Daniels Resignation some days ago; but
was let hitherto. 1t will not be untimely
to notice it now.
Mr. Daniels has evinced good deal of
unselfiShness in this action. He has
given up a good position and good
salary to harness himself to the hard
work and poor pay of daily journalism in
North Carolina. Such acts of unselfsh-
ness are not numerous amongst men who
hold good positions in the Federal ad-
inistration-indeed, they are not over

Exactly eight years ago the editor of
the News and Observer, who held po-
sition in the Cleveland administration at
Washington, rendered his resignation and
returned to Raleigh to assume the active
management of this paper. Six months
prior thereto it had been purchased by
a company which had been organized by
this writer. Eight years have passed
since that time-the most eventful poll
teal years in the history of this genera
ton. Two political revolutions have oc-
Cured. They have been years of poll
teal passion, years calling for aggressive
action, years of turmoil and of struggle.

News and Observer the last week in
January. 1895:

GROWTH OF CIRCULATION.

There has been no such jOurnaIistic
success in the history of any newspaper
published in a small city in America.
What has caused this growth? The peo-
pie take it because they wish an indie

door influence, that does not crook "the
pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift
may follow fawning."

Government, for Progress, for Temper

1t will appeal to no class, to no special

The hour has arrived when the Demo

of their political influence, to promot-

protection of child labor, and the con-
troll of the party and the government by
the will of the majority.
The News and Observer has never
gained anything that it has not had to

made has been made in the teeth of the
opposition Of the privileged interests. H.
