Vance On Party Loyalty.
hi
Back in 1884, 1888 and 1892
the nomination of Grover Clev
laud was vigorously opposed lor
the reason that he was endorsed
by Tammany just as Alfred E.
{Smith is now. Men, hitherto
staunch and unwavering in their
party loyalty, became lukewarm
and "bolted" the nomination.
Cleveland was twice elected and
gave the country two of the most
virile administrations in the his
tory of Republic, and to-day his
administrations tower as beacons i
in government affairs.
The great Vance antagonized
Cleveland's nomination, but when
the nomination was made he did
not sulk and give comfort to the '
enemy as some are doing now.
He bowed to tfhe will of the
majority, and what he said more
than two-score years ago is as
true now as it was then.
Senator Zobulon B. Vance said:
"An individual preference be
fore the nomination of a candi
date is one thing uud the duty of
a true, man after that nomination
has been fairly made is an
other and very different ihing
indeed. In the one case, a pref
erence may be indulged in prop
erly, without danger to the prin
ciples we profess or the party
which has those principles in
charge ; in the other case we
endanger both uud falsify our
pretentious by contributing un
deniably to the success of our
adversaries.
"If we refuse to abide by the
voice of a majority of our fellow
democrats, freely and unmistak
ably expressed in friendly con
vention, there is an end of a 1 as
sociated party effort in the gov
ernment of our country ; i? we
personally participate in that
consultation or convention and
then refuse to abide by the decis
ion of the tribunal of our own se
lection, then there is an end 'of
all personal honor among men.
Postmaster-General New has a
dense of decency and propriety.
A few days ago he ordered the
seizure of a lot of postal cards
mailed in a New Jersey town,
"which bore attacks on the private
and personal life of Governor A1
Smith. There are lots of people,
Wrho, it is believed, will be asbam
ed that they took a hand in that
aort of propaganda. A "whis
pering" campaign is going on in
the form,of letter-writing, which
"would be unmailable under postal
angulations, if the contents were
lenown, and,by "word or month."
!Much of it would not be tolerated
Iu the open by decent opponents
?f the victim.
Maine went Republican last
'Tuesday. Who expected anything
jlse ? Was anybody looking
Tor a miracle? If it had gone
^Democratic, a miracle it would
ihave been. There ia nothing in
the result to specially comfort
IRepublicans or deject Democrats.
Cooperative carlot loadings of
poultry are held in Randolph
?County from once to twice each
'.month by the county farm agent
and the sales are bringing in an
average of about $2,000 per car.
A hog cholera eradication camp
aign began in Pitt County on Sep
tember 3. The county agent will

Hotchpotch.
The latest publication to come
mt against the candidacy of Gov. <?
Imith is "The Tocsin," Vol. 1 No.
1. Tocsin?an alarm bell. The
vord is more or less familiar, as i
n the tocsin of war." Well, this l
(articular publication is making '
a great alarm. If oue really be- '
ieved everything it says, the
country is bard on the precipice |
ind the election of Smith would I
.opple it over and send it bust- 1
ing into the abysmal depths of j
jterual ruin and destruction.
Such stuff is the food passed i
)ut to the gullible to embitter
:heir thoughts and warp their
muse of justice and decency.
A foretimes, in the darkest day
>f ill .teracy, the Catholic Church 1
ind paganism held the world in i
heir grip, but the human race 1
lurvived. Once strong drink was
tree as water in our country;
i higher civilization curbed it,
ind the march of temperance bids
fair to move steadily forward to
i saner control of its manufac
ture and consumption as states
uanship and science point the
way.

CI
l'o the Hoard of Commissioners of c
Alauiauce County : ti
1, together with a great many u
>f the citizens of Alamance Coun- h
ty, was very much surprised to f
earn that your Hoard had au- >*
thorized another issue of bonds *
to the amount of $45,000.
When a delegation of the tax- w
payers of Alamance County went a
before your Board several months I
ago, opposing the bond issue of ?
1100,000, you were asked what ''
this issue was for, and if there E
were any other issues conteinpla- a
ted or would be authorized. Your ?
Hoard slated positively that there y
would be no furthei issue of 0
bonds, as the $100,000 would be u
si I necessary, and with this as- 0
surauce the opposition to this
5100,000 bond issue withdrew, ?
and us I understand was issued 1
and the proceeds of this issue has I
been or is now beiug spent. s
You thou advertised a $05,000 e
bond issue, and again a commit- 8
tee wont before your board oppos
ing this issue. This opposition c
had no effect ou your Hoard, so J
there was nothing left to do, but !
for the opposition of further is- 1
suing of bonds to get up a petition 1

t is now a question of whether
