V THE TWO TAYLORS. Opening of the Campaign Tennessee. ' in Two Brothers Opposing Each Other for Governor. Madisoxville,' Tenn., September 9. The Taylor democratic and repub lican candidates for Governor in Ten nessee, opened the campaign here to-day in a joint discussion. The peo ple fof this and surrounding counties turned out en masse, and a crowd of several thousand heard the navel but dignified discussion of the points at issue between the parties, with nothing of a personal or unpleasant nature. Hon. Alfred A. Taylor, republican, was first introduced, and made an eloquent- presentation of republican principles. He arraigned the demo cratic party of the State and nation as being in power by false pretenses, and having broken every promise made in recent party platforms. He defended the protective tariff, and ably presented arguments favoring the Blair bill. He alleged that the repub licans had been pioneers in every good movement of today. They had inaug urated the prohibition sentiment, and only when the idea became too popular to be resisted did the democrats catch on, and declare in favor of submitting a constitutional amendment to prevent the liquor traffic. The speaker was particularly severe on the penitentiary tease, which he abused in unmeasured terms, without suggesting any new ideas, and claimed that the demiocratic partv had favored it until the republi can party had developed a sentiment 1 i XT XL . J in opposition to n. inow me uemo cratic party was forced to come out and demand its abolition. He was presented with a bouquet at the close, and, after a brief intermis sion, introduced his brother; Hon. Robert L. Taylor, democrat, who, he announced, would have the proud honor in November of being a Govern or's brother. In opening, Mr. Bob Taylor said : 'Fellow-Citizens: In the days of the Roman empire it was the pustom of the emporers to amuse themselves and their subjects with cruel andbloody entertainments called gladiatorial con tests. It is possible that many of you have come here to-day with the fear that you may witness a similar exhi bition of brutality between two broth ers scrambling for the same office. In this country there are two great ideas of free erovernment the republican idea and the democratic idea. The representative of the republican idea in this campaign is my brother. It devolves upon me as the choice of the democratic party of Tennessee, to rep resent the democratic idea. Is there anything improper, indelicate or un brotherly in our meeting to discuss publicly the interests of a great state and a great nation under these two ideas 1 We Have not met to wrangle or quarrel or scramble for the high office for which we have been made candidates. The tender bond of broth erhood is neither severed or abraided by our differences of opinion in poli tics, nor can the discussion of political questions disturb the delicate relations. The red rose and the white rose bloom together and shed their odors upon the same atmosphere, and, gently struggling for supremacy, glorify the twilight hours. My brother represents to-day the red rose and I represent the white. Our political histories vary in -this, that in my budhood I was trans planted by tender and loving hands into the sweet gardens of pure democ- raov: while he. like the 'last rose of summer, in the desert of republican ism, was left blooming alone. Full mnnv ft com of Durest rav serene. The dark, unfathomed caves of ocean bear, Full many a flower is born to blush unseen And waste its sweetness on the desert air. But, fellow citizens, when you shall have all taken a smell, and them taken your choice of blossoms, the red rose - will have the happy consolation that he is the brother of the Governor." In response to an inquiry, a,s to why he was canvassing against his brother when he had him beat, he said : "I will tell you why. An old fellow in Georgia killed a sheep killing dog. He deliberately cut a hickory club and began to beat and maul the lifeless body of the poor old dog. A neighbor passing by stopped, and said, Ain't that dog dead?' 'Yes,' replied the farmer. 'Well, what in the name of reason are you beating a dead dog for V asked the astonished neighbor. The farmer never stopped but said, 'I want to teach him that there is a little hell alter death.' - "Now, the republican party comes before the court with the same old . threadbare declarations that it is the party of constitutional government, of honest government, of protection to labor, and of free education. In 1884, upon these same declarations, it heard the verdict of 5,000.000 sove reigns, 'thou art weighed in the bal ance and found wanting.' But let us examine the old record again and see if that was a good and true verdict. Its first declaratian is that it is the party of constitutional government. In the dark days succeeding" thet war, when this party of constitutional gov ernment had two thirds of both houses of Congress, and while it was in full control of the judicial department, drunk with power and passion, it began the work of reckless riot and debauch ery of the government, and when the great, grand spirit of democracy, in the. person of Andrew Johnson con fronted it, crazy with rage this repub lican party converted itself into a po litical mob. It ran rough-shod, over the powers of the executive. It was in his cabinet, and wnen he undertook to remove it in the exercise of his con stitutional power, it arbitrarily enact ed a law in the face of the constitution; compelling him to retain Mr. Stanton, and all other officers under the govern ment, no matter how obnoxious or t objectionable they were to the execu tive. This party of constitutional government declared that the States l; were conquered provinces,, while the president declared; that as the attemDt to secede had failed, the states are still in the Union. And so the conflict ran high, until, in their determination to rule or rum the government, with ab solute disregard and recklessness of constitutional law, they impeached the President of the United States, and brought him before the bar of the Senate to answer to the charge or high crimes and misdemeanors. And when they did that they struck a blow at me constitution oi wis country wmcn defines the powers of the executive as clearly as the powers of the legislative and judicial departments of govern ment. They struck a deadly blow at liberty itself, and had this conspiracy of the constitutional party succeeded, the last vestige of constitutional gov ernment would have been wrecked, the union itself would have been bro ken up and destroyed, and the flag which has sd recently triumphed in war would have ceased to be the flag of constitutional union." THE THIRD DISTRICT CON VENTION. Editor Messenger: While this writer greatly admires "Spectator's" article in vour issue of Aug. 27th, he does not .., t i i agree with mm in ms conclusions. The convention adopted the two-thirds rule by a unanimous vote not a dis senting voice was heard. This rule was then the law of that body, made so alike by the friends of Col. Green, Mr. Dortch and Mr. McLean. And if tnere is any real gooa reason lor ma- ing such a rule in the opinion of this ., . i 3 c i writer, mat reason is to prevent man . ... i . aging majorities from takinS conven- tions entirely under their control. It seems never taior- tnat voi. urreen s inenus cuuiu i have or actually did maneuvre for the control of this convention. Mow do the facts sustain the idea that they did try their luck at this game T Sampson county was instructed to cast her vote solid for Col. Green. Unslow county was instructed tor ureen as nrst cnoice and Mr. Dortch second choice. She cast 336 votes solid for Green, and the writer of this began to think that the latter half of her instructions were in tended more for ornament than use. Cumberland county was also instruct ed for Col. Green and cast all her votes solid for him after the "muzzle" was applied to her ten minority voters as one of the minority delegates termed the unit rule. The minority claimed 4.V.n- Oy-vl flfrfrlcs -kl aMYt a vera ri n a Vi11 wmcn recently passea congress, was i i ' i i j rr undemocratic, was protection tor pro- tection's sake, and was not for reve- nue at all; and this of itself would and ought to defeat him before the people if nominated. Col. Green's fnnnrls nloi m art tni- him TTlfirA StrfiTlfrth iu the convention than any other man, and therefore he was the choice of the people and should receive the nomi- nation. Thus we were left to reflect nnAr. tra onnvAntinn nnd ta hnsiTiAss. to discuss the reasons for any instruc- tions at all. It was often asked of the .mnCnn Jolcfrotion tpViv Hid vfinr countv instruct ? If vour delegates TXTOT-o n n nmt tnr i Ci. irPfiTl TrifiV TlPPn- .. . , i A no instmp.tions. Thev were not nnonimna fnr him nnd thnt is t.hft tViAsameannlies. But the convention believed that the . i ii j i j. . good results acnievea Dy me pany is far above the elevation of any man to Q cnof in rnno-rocs that it isnrinftinles and not men about which we should j u4- ,u;v, mfl Au differ, and as Col. Green's oleomarga- rine bill might be the means of his defeat, it was perhaps best not to place our standard in his hands, although more than a majority of the conven- tion demanded it. If this was really the case, did not tne convention act wisely in adopting the two thirds rule! It really appears so, when the choice fell to the lot of Maj. McClammy who had not been discussed for the position. It almost seems useless to tell "Spec- tator" that to know Maj. McClammy the people needed no discussion. They 1 i i o - nave Known mm ior years, ever since he entered the army at the beginning of the war. Thev knew he had been faithful to everv trust, and that he would prove true to this one. Mr. Dortch had withdrawn and so had Mr. McLean, leaving Mr. Green alone, who seemed to prefer defeat to any otner alternative defeat of Col.

A few days since, while on a brief KtAT .m th neighborhood of Golds- boro, we visited the plantation of Mr. A. J. Harrell, which is in iJrogden township, Wayne county, and about five miles distant from that city. Mr. Harrell has fifty acres of his plantation dfivoted to the culture of tobacco, and has this season been fortunat with his crop to an extent that has placed him ahead of any of his neighbors, so far as. the growth of tobacco is concerned. He commenced the growtn ot tne weea last year, when he planted four acres as an experiment, and his success was such that he was encouraged to largely increase his acreacre in tobacco this year, and the result shows the wisdom of hi a ant. The tobacco is what is known as the "Yellow Hester," and when cured has a peculiar rich lemon ftolor. He has fire barns full which are nearly cured. Each of these barns contains -what will make about ouu pounds of cured tobacco and they are to be refilled as fast as the tobbacco which is m them is cured until the entire crop is harvested and cured. He has built also a large and commodious two story warehouse for the storage of the cured leaf.

At 2:30 p. m. we boail the railway tvoin i KtrsKhrmrtr DOund tor the Aipbjne j hills of Switzerland. Our journey up througn tnej vauey or tne Rhine for a few hours, was interesting and enjoyable, but our longing to wind around the snow caDPed moun tains, made the extended plain, though beautiful with a golden harvest, tame and monotonous.

The dis tant hills creep up ndarer and as their long shadows shojt across the valley, we are reminded that they are fast growing into mountains.

Byrd, our County Superinten dent of Public Instruction, was in town Thursday and Friday the I 9th and 10th mst., and examined quite a number of teachers, both male and female. No one can go through the examination without being benefitted, and leaving better qualified to teach and the teacher who gets a first grade certificate, you can rest assured is worthy and well qualified. Lenoir county has np poor house for her paupers. Does she need one! Why not sell the county stock in the railroad and invest a part of the pro ceeds in a site. Capt. Byrd asked thelteachers "What Judge in North Carolina was killed by a turkey gobler?"' oames A. rndgen, chairman of the board of county commissioners, says : "A poor house would save Lenoir county fifteen hundred dollars annu ally." The rope to the fire alarm bell has been detached, and is lying coiled up on the bulletin board at the courthouse for several days. Negligence some where. Perhaps all houses are heavi ly insured. .Lenoir county has never received a penny dividend on her railroad stock, and the probability is, she never will. New cotton is coming in, business is taking a slight boom, farmers are putting on airs, political fever is raging but with proper treatment tne fa tality will be small. Candidates are shaking the hands of the "dear people77 and asking about the "good lady and little ones at home." "How pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." Miss Nattie Basnight, ot Washing ton county, has returned here to attend school, and is boarding with Mrs, N. D. Myers. Those who went to Morehead last Monday on the free excursion enjoyed the trip hugely, trolling and sailing being the, order of the day. Lenoir -county has 500 shares in rail road stock which she could sell for eight thousand dollars. Five thousand dollars would by fifty acres of land and necessary buildings for a poor house, leaving three thousand dollars to go into the treasury, and the rotd still running and unhurt. Why not sell? The Republican county convention was held in Kmston Saturday Sept. the 11th. The following ticket is now at the mast head. For the House, Jerry Warters; for Clerk, W. W. Dunn; present incumbent; tor bheriti, a. u. Taylor; for Register, J. K. Davis; for Treasurer,B. SnttonjQounty Surveyor, Wm. Arthur: forfJoroner, Jas. fohiver. This is the same ticket defeated last election, with one or two exceptions. If the Democrats of Lenoir county don't clean them up in . November. then we are no prophet. Dudlev, a colored man from New bern, addressed the convention in be half of I. B. Abbott for Congress. He is not a verynuent speaker, but gains the attention of the audience, and by his plain, matter-of-fact manner, holds it. He handled O'Harra with gloves off, and administered some heavy blows. He says, O'Hara "has now two living wives, is ashamed of the negro, won't send his children to a colored school, hires a white teacher, and even a white cook, has perjured himself, and, in Washington city, when his colored constituents call on him treats them with disrespect and indifference." The speech was well received, and will do Abbott good. W. J. Solomon, a colored delegate, nominated Mr. J. C. Carter a white man of LaGrange, for Register of Deeds. Mr. Carter arose and said, I thank the gentleman for the mention of mv name, but I now, here, pos itively decline the use of my name be fore this convention, after witnessing what I have to-day, good men ig nored and slaughhtered, simply be cause they had principle and manhood enough to vote for prohibition in the recent election, and the Republican party reaching down in the low slums of the bar rooms after men to fill office. 1 leave it. I voted tor proniomon ana am not afraid or ashamed to show my record. I now resign my position as a member of the Republican county executive committee." , He thereupon left the hall amid cheers from the Democrats present. Pretty sharp cut for the Republican nominees. D. M. Stanton, of LaGrange, as clever a gentleman as the county affords, was the one slaughtered because he voted for prohibition. Mr. Carter is not the only one of the tried and true that has cut loose from the "party of great moral ideas" in this county. The resignation of Rev. A. C. Bowen, pastor the Disciple Church at this place, was not accepted, as intimated in a former note. His charge granted him permission to visit, at will, other churches from now until Conference. This will necessitate his being absent trood deal. After the first of November he will settle down in his regular pastor duties in Kmston. The board oi county commissioners were in session Monday the 13th mst. reviviner tne mrv dox. a revision lone needed. Justice. Dy a jury in o - . . . our courts is becoming farcical and obsolete.

We were unable to write last week. Thev forced us to court. We have had heavv rains in Dnnlin. but have not heard of anv serious damage. Some time since we stated that the mineral spring near Warsaw was upon ' rYiCk Ion1 a TXT TT "WTMI' T ' 1 x r imams, ir. n ws a mistake ; E. J. Hill is the owner of the spring. Why not put some con veniences there, Mr. Hill f In portions of the county the Choi- 13 Killing numoers ot nog, and we will be forced to use western meat again another year. The friends of Mrs. M. A; Lynch will be pained to learn that death has entered her house and -taken there from the little babe, the light and pride of a mother's heart. We tender the bereaved parents our warmest sympa thies. We hear of revivals in religion throughout the county. Rev. J. D. Stanford was at Chinquepin last week and had a meeting of considerable m terest. Rev. W. M. Kenneday is con tinning the good work there this week. Messrs. rlarrv McArthur and bd. Sutherland, of Kenansville, have' gone to Durham, expecting to cast their lot with those energetic people. We trust that the boys may realize their fondest expectations. Miss Blanche Evans, of Brunswick, at one time a pupil of the Warsaw1 High School, has been visiting friends in Duplin. Come again, Miss Blanche. There is a fearful mortality among horses. The disease that is doing such deadly work is familiarly known as staggers. Air. uryant isizzeu, ot ije- noir, came to uupun last Saturday, Monday his horse had symptoms of staggers and Tuesday he died. Mai. C. W. McUlammy spoke at Ke- nansville Tuesday of court. If his first effort is an earnest of what the Canvas is to be, we raav expect an effective i . campaign and a glorious victory in Noyember. If the democratic ship should founder this fall, we may at tribute the defeat to indifference and the belief that there is no imu. Dem ocrats of Duplin, be not deceived by the siren voice of independentism. We have as much to guard, as much . . a to lose today as at any time in the past. Do your full duty and the vic tory will be ours. Many people believe or profess to believe that a paper can be run on promises. Doubtless they can, if their reportejind agents are willing to live on salt mullets, cooked at the street corner and eaten from a rough board. m f . d Jobnson f J leisure to attend, last week, Prof. B. r . Grady7s examination of applicants for certificates to teach in the public schools of Duplin. The examinations were thorough and con ducted in an impartial nianner. We are confident that no county in the State has a more competent superin tendent of public instruction than has Duplin. Mr. S. B. Newton, the worthy super intendent of the Carr School-House Sunday School, arranged a very pleas ant excursion for the children of his charge recently. They left Magnolia the 3lst ultimo, and after spending Atlantic. The party are under obli gations to Mr. J. T. Carrol, of the Rock Snrint? Hotel : Cant.

Investigation of Its Accounts by its directors. The directors of the A. & N.

Mr. liryan then stated that in conse- auence of an article appearing m the Kinston Free Press recently, charging- i kuai iucio was a uuttcuauur iu uis I XX Xl -X I 1 I x xl I the treasurer, he asked that a com- nmiee uo iueu appuiuieu iu ma&u a tnorougn examination and report to the board. Messrs. John F. Wooten, W. C. Stronach and C. E. Foy were appointed as said committee, and thev at left for Newbern at once, made a thorough examination of the books port was correct. This is just as we expected. We; can see no reason why Mr. Bryan." should want to make a report concern ing the finances of the road that they treasurer's report would not sustain. We believe the people interested in the affairs of the A. & N. C. railroad can rest assured that it is in good hands; that it is managed with an eye . i . . , . ... , to business, and that putting it in rood condition, increasing its earnings and enhabcing .the value of the stock is the great object in view. To this end we should encourage and support the managers, of the road, for with its suc cess tegins the growth and develop ment ot this section'. . - - tABTnolmtB Calico. M8halrerM styles.
