Why Manning Was Defeated.

In addition to the political habits
of mind which we have noted else
where, one cause of Justice Man
ning's defeat by Judge Allen I'M
doubtedly was that the latter held
courts all over the state for sixteen
years, while his opponent possessed
no such means of forming an extern
sive acquaintanceship. The prima-
ries gave Judge Allen a considerable
lead, which the band-wagon instinct
eagerly heightened into a conven-
ton majority. Extensive acquaint-
anceship may have been quite as
important as the disposition to down
a Governors appointee, fortified
there is always some cause assigned
other than this general and usually
unconscious one-by the rather pet
ty objection that Governor Kitchin
owed his fit appointee political obi
cations. Charlotte Observer.

MORE POLITICS.

There has not been very much do
ing in county politics during the past
week. so far as we have learned.
On Saturday the anti-ring people
issued a circular containing their
platform in the shape Of resolutions,
and also made a call for a general
anti-ring mass-meeting at Halifax
on August 5th. The organization or
ring, as they are sometimes called,
have nothing to say in the pubic
prints as yet, but they are no doubt
busy at work. We repeat again
this week that the white people OF
the county ought to get together
and flint for the nominations at the
legalized primary. This is the right
and proper thing to do.

The Boston Post in speaking of the
speech of Gov. Kitchin delivered at
the meeting of the National Educa-
tional Association says:
Governor Kitchin, of North Car O.
lima delivered one of the best speeches
which in the opinion Of many of the
Association, it had ever been their
lot to hear. Governor Kitchin is a
speaker of whom one can use the
word orator.
In speech brimfull Of patriotism,
of broad nationalism, of sectional
forgetfulness and withal witty, he
charmed his hearers and received
round after round of applause for his
sounding period.

Senator Taylor has elevated him in
the estimation of the better class of
citizens everywhere Gov. Patterson
disgraced himself and his State when
he pardoned Col. Duncan B. Cooper
