Mr. Harrison finds it more and more difficult aw the ftimp'iign grows more inter esting to boss the republican machine from out of t.hewny Loon Lake, so he will this week return to the W h i te House, where he can watch and direct every move made. He thought, seiiously at one time of taking up his resi dence in New York City da ting the rest of the campaign in order to mnkecertainthat his orders were carried out, but h was finally made to see that it Was more politic to remaih in Washington and pretend to be engrossed with his executive duties. 'South Dakota," said a gentleman j'.ist from demo cratic headquarters in New York, "has been cleverly ta ken out of the republican col li m n by an arrangement made a day of two ago by representatives of the demo cratic and of the peoples' par t.y. In that State there are three fully organized parties, and when they vote for sepa- ate tickets the republicans have the plurality. A demo crat who is a member of the national commltte conceived the idea of a fusion between the democratic and people's party in that State, both to support the people's State ticket, aud the four presiden tial electors to be; equally d vided, and after considerable negotiation the fusion has been agreed upon." If this gentleman's news isttU6tvtor thy, and I have every reason to believe it is, Cleveland and Stevenson will get two electo ral totes that hare not been cotlnted Upon The same gentleman assur ed me that all the republican talk about the failure of Mr. Cleveland to harmonize cer tain alleged discordant ele inents in the democratic par ty of NeW York was the veri est bosh. Said he: "Before he first of October it vvill be so plain that the most san guine republican will have to acknowledge that the demo cratlc party of New York is harmonious1 y working to ear ry that State for Cleveland, and what iamoreto the point they are going to succeed in doing it." Ex-Treastirer Houston, of Indiana, is in Washington on a political mission, and it is significant that ho admits that the chance of the reptili cahf to carry that state is largely dependent upon the outcome of their efforts 1 0 have the ct.Urt declare t h f present apportionment law of the state Unconstitutional. He also admits that there is republican disaffection in the state. This is in marked ran traet to the claim everything totie, of the Indiana republi cans who have come to Wash ington since Harrison War re nominated. General A. S. Duford, of Virginia, a prominent rail road man, says about poli tics in his state: "I do n o t think the third party will cut much of a figure iff the Vir ginia campaign this year. It appears to be weakening ev ery diiy, und I think, the de mocracy will carry the state very cleverly for Me vela nd." According to the informa tion received here the third party is also "weakening ev cry day" in nil the rest of the Southern states, and the dan ger which was apprehended at cine time on account of its existence is now regarded us very small. The issue be tween the democratic and re publican parties is so sharp ly drawn in thij campaign that no man who has ever been a democrat feelslike aid ing indirectly the republic. in party by casting n vote for a ticket which he knows can y no ooinoinatlon of circum stances win. So one need be surprised if rt big war scare be shortly sprung on the country as an aid to Mr. Harrison's cdndi- laey. Admiral Walker has been sent to Venezuelan wa ters in the cruiser Chicago,, under sealed orders w h i C h there is reason to believe practically instructs him to take steps which will be al most certain t- be objected to by German and British wnr vessels already in those waters, if they do not bring about actual hostilities. Ad miral Walker will find the ('oncord and KearsageatLa G nay ill when he gets there and they, with the Chicago, will make a formidable fiht- ing'trio. The story as It reach es me is that a trumped up claim charging European ves sels with having violated the Monroe doctrine during the Venezuelan revolution is to be made the basis of a lot of spread eagleism on the part of Admiral Walker, who is to sail around with a chip on his shoulder dgring the for eigners to knock it off, and hoping all the whilethatthey they will. Mr. Wanamaker hasaccep ted the two bids of the Iil man line of steamers for car rying European mail, the price being in both bids $4, per mil', The Indian people were evidently acting by the card when they ..got an Amer ican registry from Congress for those two big steamers; without the American regis try the company could not have bid and these fat c 0 n- tracts could not have been se cured. Of course no republi can high in authority put the managers of the Inroan ine "on to" this little racket. Gastonia Gazette: A cor respondent writing us from Lincoln ton says of the speak ing there? Democracy had a rousing victory here Saturday. J. S. Bell met Butler and Exum. Ex urn's "ppeech"(?) was not worthy the name and Bell absolutely riddled BUtler. The so called "hotbed of T. PartyisuJ" was so uncomfor table that Exuin, Butler and party went to Hickory to spend Sunday. They couldn't stand this town! Exum is said to have remarked, while at the.depot waiting for the train to leave, "that he would give $500 to be out of the whole business." CSTPay your subscription. N. C., THURSDAY, A POLITICAL NEmTIO. Raleigh, N C, Sept. 13 SpeiIal The Signal, the orgnn of the Mott wing of the Republican party, will create a sensation tomor row. It will attack in un measured terms the Republi can State convention und will ay: "The platform adopted is of no avail, because the de mand for the unconditional lepenl of the county govern ment system not only raises the nfgro issue, but is op posed by many Republicans. It would be a great calamity if by any means Eaves nnd his venal and corrupt negroes should be put in control of the Eastern counties. They would rob and plunder as thsy did twenty-three years ago. ' Knowing :is we do that the nomination of the Fur- Ches ticket has a strong ten dency to lose Harrison the electoral vot? nnd ruin for ever the Republican party here, it is our duty to op pose this ticket and to do all we can to bring about a rushing defeat for it. This we shall do without regard fo personal and political con sequences. Every phase ofthe political situation justifies uild approves this action and we have the firm support of Mott, Russell, and hun dreds of 'other Republicans, white and colored. Our ad vice is to vote against the Democratic annex, headed by Ftirches. Vote for t he ticket headed by Exum as a matter of principle, in order to se cure the two remaining re B'llts whL'h are paramount with every Republican-First, to secure the electoral vote for Harrison, and Second, to secure the destruction of the Democratic fparry in North Carolina. "The ticket headed by Fur- ches is simply and solely an auxiliary to the" Democratic party, really a teaser to rouse the energies of the old Bourbons. The very men who forced the nominations know that the ticket cannot be elated and do not expect t will be elected. Possessed of this knowledge, why they insisted on nominating a ticket is a mystery to every man who is endowed with any political sense." Gazettci Off t h f y come. Maj. W. H. Malone hns ta ken his name from the third darty ticket. He sees no chance of its election", and if one of the old parties must rule, he prefers the democrat ic. And that is where we be Iieve most thoughtful third party men will get to before the election Rev. H. D. Leqttex, for sortie; years paster of the Bap tist church in Morgan ton and Hbkory, has resigned his pas torate and has connected himself with the Presbyteri an church. At the recent ses s'ioti of (.Oncord Prebytcry, Mr. Lequex was admitted to the Presbyterian ministry. The vacancy caused by his esignation has not yet been filled.-E, SElTEMHElt, 22. A Sanation A beat Blaine. G. W. King, of Augusta, Me., nOwin St. Louis, is thus reported iri Ue Glebe Demo crat: "There w ill be a sensa tion one of these days that will surpass that created by the tragic death of Alexan der Hamilton. It will be no thing more nor less thaii the nuicide of one of the greatest men America hns ev?r pro duced. Never mind who I mean; you'll know soon en ough. Like Dean Swift, he fully expects todieatthetop. He is a mail who would like to be president, but fears the onerous duties of the office would precipitate the catas trophe which for ten years past ho h,is been dreading. and Upon whose Very verge h e titood four years airo Health of body and health of mind returned, arid the black shadows that threatened to engulf him faded beforehopes glorious dawn; but since then domestic troubles have fall en so thick upon him that 'one woe doth tredd upon an other's heels, so fast they fol low.' The shadows return ed, he cast hope behind him and retire to private life. His horror is the madhouse, nnd I hAv'e; it upon Indisputable authority, that rather than end his days an object of pity withjhnnds confined and mind enthralled, he will, like an other Brutus, destroy him self. It is said by those who kliow, thai he is never with out a poisonous dagger, pur chased in Italy of fi profess ional assasin, and that when he realizes that the crisis has Come he will turn it against himself. He presents a brave front to the world. He is not a mail to wear" his heart upon his sleeve; but he reali zes only too well that his Mfe's work is done; that there are none to minister td a dis eased mind. He is sick with many griefs; the future is a Cinimeria in which blazes not one star of hope. How long will that poisoU'ed piece of steel sleep harmless in its Venetia n scabbard ' None ca n tell. I pick up the paper ev- erv morning witn tear ana trembling. I strain' my ear to catch the news boy's cry of 'extra,' expecting to hear that the bolt ha9 fallen; that friend and foe are alike mour ning at the bloody bier of the noblest Roma tt ol them all." Bristol Courier There ate but two great parties Iri the fji.ited States, the lemocrat ic and republican, and the way to get reforms is to fight for them in the ranks of the former. The republicans have been in power for thir ty years, and during this third of a century the number of millionaires have grown from hundreds into thous ands, and the number o f tramps from none nil into hundreds of thousands. What is the remedy for this state of affairs? Clearly fat every lover of his country to1 array himself on the side' of democ racy. Tempera nee, as a mor al Question is all right,' but who expects to ever see the prohibitionists carry a pop ular election? The farmers IS92, NO. 4. as a class, have their griev ances, nnd the democratic partr for long, weary years, hns fought their battles and contended for their rights. What is to be gained by de serting a strong and power lul friend and organizingyour selves into a weak nartv? Nothing! Stick to your old friends. In uniori t li d r e is strength; iri Unity of purpose there is victory and relief from all our woes. Political Jobber Fxposed. Dr. W. F". Exum, the thiri party gubernatorial nominee has confided to a most inti mate friend that his parry has perfected arrangements with national republican headquarters, that in case Harrison's election's elei-ti n on the day of Nov. the 8th, neAt, the entire vote of. the people's party will be thnrm into the hands' of the repu jll can party. In return, the republicans have pledged themselves to' give their entire vote to Wea ver if Harrison's chances of election should look doubt fulthat day. The bargain, according to the Weaverits candidate, was made betweea both parties to beat Cleve land at all hazards nnd with express view to break thesol id South. The gentle'nian who inform ed us Of this conspiracy, and to whom this confession was made by Dr. Exum, isamost reputaole citizen of this court ty, and is willing to rnake af fidavit to the above state ment if it comes to the qnes- tion of veracity between hiiri self and Dr. Exum.

He has been a life-long republican, and during the last national campaign was one ot Mr.- Harrison's most enthusiastic supporters. He says: "I have long since ascer tained that the glorious pro'iri ises which are held out to people of my color by repub lican office-seekers on the eve of art election invariably fait to materialize, and it seenir to me that it is high time we were calling a halt on such dupery.
