The Kind of Man Scales Is.
You might travel a long way
and meet many men, and talk
with the most pleasant of al
you meet, without coining up
with a more frank and cnarm
ing gentleman than Mr. A. M
Scales He belongs to a dif
f erent type of men than either
of his distinguished Democratic
predecessors. Zeb Vance wel.
if his manners (down here
among the boys, at least) are
not the manners of the mos:
jocular politician living what
are they? Mr. Jarvis, in spite
of his dignity on. dignified
occasions, does not impress you
as a deacon. There is at times
sly, slow-moving kind of a joc
ularity that betrays him, and
yon soon see that back behind
all the Gubernatorial dignity
there is a vigorous appreciation
of a barn-yard joke with a
the country flavor left in i
and a general Pitt county tei
dencv anyhow. In short the
Governor is not a deacon.
But Mr. Scales is. When you
meet him (and you must meet
him this summer) you find
yourself talking to a frank,
quiet gentleman who wouldn't
get excited if you told the
most violent political joke you
know. He has a pleasant
chuckle for a laugh, and a
funny way of turning on you and
asking a question before you
know it. There is a refinement
about him that would charm a
scholar and at the same time
delight the pickers of big blues
in Sampson. God stamped
honesty on his countenance,
and his face is as pleasant a
face as ever conveyed no hint
of the handsome. There will
be no '.'mud-slinging" by him
it is utterly inconceivable.
There will be no ugly jokes;
there will be no personal abuse;
there will be nothing ungentle
manly or ungentle in his cam
paign. Yet he talks as plain
as a man of Presbyterian con
victions is obliged to talk.
He is not what we call an
- orator. He is not especially
graceful in his manner of speech
but if yon begin to listen to
. him, you will not get tired for
a long time, lie has something
to say. His body is not of the
oratorical shape, and his arms
a r too short; but he has a way
of swinging 'em to and fro, and
of gesticulation with his feet
that is entirely original.
Politics is not a scramble for
office, but a Christian duty
;? with him high, solemn, re
sponsible. The people learn
something from what he says
r A man feels prouder of his citi
zeuship, prouder of his Democ
racy, prouder of his State, after
hearing him. We all have
reason to leei promt that we
shall have as the next Governor
a man who to the patriotism
the accomplishments, and the
experiece of a public career
adds the vir tues of a Christian
life and -gentleness of man

A Joint Canvass.
The Democratic State Execu
tive Committee have, very wise
ly wo think, invited Dr. York
to join Gen. Scales in a joint
canvass in the State. We hope
he will accept. The people of
North Carolina love free discus
sion, and they are accustomed
to hear both sides of all ques
tions. The people are gener
ally right, and in this instance
we have no doubt of their wis
dom. As showing the differ
ence of opinion on this point we
subjoin an editorial from the
Wilmington Star, which paper
opposes the proposed joint can
vass. Thenar says:
"We do not believe .that the
Democrats are wise in asking
for a joint canvass. Unless
Gen. Scales speaks there will be
none to hear York but the ne
groes, and a few scallawags.
Why then give him an oppor
tunity to speak to tens of thou
sands of Democrats? For the
life of us we cannot understand
such tactics as tsat. In vain
will York 'orate' if he has no
white audiences o work upon.
The negroes will vote the old
way, and all that a hundred
Scaleses could say would not
alter their action. Let York go
over the State preaching social
equality and what not to all
who are green enough to go out
to hear a very common-place
demagogue harangue the multi
tude, but it will be. the very
height of blindness for the Dem
ocrats to help swell the size of
his audiences. No joint can
vass, say we.
When the writer was associa
ted with Hon. Josiah Turner in
the editorship of the .Raleigh
Sentinel sometimes a very fiery
article would be aimed at Tur
ner in some obscure Radical
sheet with a few negroes and as
many whites for readers. I Tur
ner would say : "If I rdply to
what is said I will only adver-
ise a sheet that without this
would hardly be heard of out of
its county. Let it go unno
ticed and you pluck out all the
sting.' There is a lesson for the
State Committee just here.
They propose to advertise York,
the very worst thing that can
be done. He will only make by
speaking to white audiences.
Then by mixing the audiences
in a heated campaign there is
danger of rows and collisions
that otherwise would be avoid
ed. We put our conviction on
record that joint canvasses are
not desirable as parties are now
constituted in North Carolina."
Cleveland Speaks.
Last Friday night a serenade
was given to the Governor at
the executive mansion by the
Young Men's Democratic Club,
who were joined by their invit
ed guests, the Jacksonians. The
number of citizens who congre
gated in and about the execu
tive mansion was several thou
sand. The tenth regiment band
played several selections, after
which the governor appeared at
the main portico. He was re
ceived with much enthusiasm
He spoke as follows :
'Fellow Citizens : I cannot
but be gratified with this kind'
Iv greeting. 1 find that 1 am
fast reaching the point where I
shall count the people of Alba
ny not merely as fellow citizens,
but as townsmen and neighbors.
On this occasion I am, of course,
aware that you pay no compli
ment to a citizen and present no
personal tribute, but that you
have come to demonstrate your
loyalty and devotion to a cause
in which you are heartily enlist
ed. The American people are
about to exercise in its highest
sense their power and right of
sovereignty. They are to call
in review before them ther pub
lic servants and the representa
tives of political parties, and
demand of them an account of
their stewardship. Parties may
be so long in power, and may
become so arrogant and careless
of the interests of the people, as
to grow heedless of their re
sponsiblity to their masters.
But the time comes as certainly
as death when the people weigh
them in the balance. The
issues to be adjudicated by
the nation's great assize are
made up, and are about to be
submitted. We believe that
the people are not receiving at
the hands of the party which
for nearly twenty-four years
has directed the affairs of the
nation the full benefits to which
they are entitled pure, just
and economical rule and we
believe that the ascendency of
genuine Democratic principles
will insure a better government
and greater happiness and pros
perity to all the people. To
reach the sober thought of the
nation and to dislodge an ene
my entrenched behind spoils
and patronage involves a strug
gle which if . we underestimate,
invite defeat. I am profoundly
impressed with the responsibil
ity of the part assigned to me
in the contest.- My heart, I
know, is in the cause, and I
pledge you that no effort of
mine shall be wanting to secure
the victory which I believe to
be within the achievement of
the Democratic- hostst Let us,
then, enter'upon the campaign
now fairly opened, each one ap
predating well the part he has
to perform, ready with solid
ironi to no nattie ior govern
ment conhdently, courageously,
always honorably, and with a
firm reliance upon the intelli
gence and patriotism f the.
American people." -
II. 0. Connor Esq.
The Ijouisburg Times says:
"A correspondent of the Wil
son Advaxck urges the nomina
tion' of the above named gentle
man as one of the candidates
for the Senate from thisi the
Seventh Senatorial district.
This paper is not in the habit of
dictating to the people who
should be their candidates, and
ii uoes not, propose to uo it in
this instance; but the Times
knows no man who would make
a better canvass, or represent
the. people of this district more
honorably than II. (J. Connor.
Franklin would be delighted to
have him, and no man who
could be named would poll a
larger vote in this county than
lie. 1'y all means give us Mr
Connor." We will do it.
Ed. Advance.
The Tarboro Southerner
charges that Henry G. Williams
and Thos. L. Emery, delegates
from this district to the Chica
go convention, disobeyed in
structions and voted for Bay
ard. At the convention resolu
tions were passed declaring for
Cleveland. The Southerner
asks why these delegates diso
beyed instructions.
The Mirror thinks that Hon.
W. T. Dortch ought to be Attor
ney General in Cleveland's cab
inet. While it is rather pre
mature to fix up a cabinet we
desire to say that a better man
than W. T. Dortch will not have
a seat in the cabinet.
Senator Jo Brown, of Georgia, J these porcr leaders of public opin
says Cleveland is the man and to" l:v'e following of hon
Iia will Yu Norton JXoaava- lest liei.ublicau voters is certain.
"Cleveland is a fresh, strong,
able and conservative man. He
is honest, - practical, and has
strength of character. He can
not be swayed by factions, but
is controlled by high and hon
orable principles. ? He can car
ry New York and the country,
in my judgment; and since Gov.
Hendricks is joined with himi
am convinced that w have the
best available ticket."
Blaine has accepted the Re
publican nomination for Presi
dent. His letter of acceptance
is an able document, artfully
drawn. Jim Blaine is one of
the ablest, shrewdest, deepest
men America has ever produced.
We might add that he is not one
of the best and purest, but ev
erybody knows his bad record.
The authorship of the '-Bread-winners"
is still an unsettled
question. Whoever the writer
is he is a very clever novelist
and will hardly fail to leave his
mark on the literature of this
day. The latest theory is that
Col. John Hay of the New York
Tribune is the man.
Address Of The State Committee.
Democratic State Ex,
Com
KalEIGH, N. C, July 16th, 1884.
It is fittincr that, before tlie be
ginning of the campaign, those who,
in a sense, arc entrusted with its
direction.- snoulil inter some words
of cheer and counsel to lito.se who
are to fight the battles. While
much depends on he skill of the
leaders in these battles, the result,
victory or defeat, is dependent at
last on the coivrage and faithful-ness-of
the rank and file. To them,
therefore, trc would address a few
words.
There are in this State and in the
Uuited States but two parties. Of
the few disappointed or misguid
ed men who have deserted from
the Democratic ranks, after skir
mishing awhile under the name of
Liberal against the cause to which
they had pledged their allegiance,
some have liecome fully incorpora
ted in the ranks of the enemy,
while others have returned and are
again in Hue with their old column.
These jwo parties have recently
held their State and National con
ventions, adopted their platforms
and selected their candidates.
The contrast between the two
national platforms is striking. The
Republican is in the main but a
repetition of those of past
campaigns, deals in vague general
ities and offers no warrant that the
corrupt practices which have dis
graced past administrations are
not to be continued. Worse than
that, it contains a deliberate at
tempt, to revive the issue of civil
right, alter good men every where
were led to believe that question
had been settled, as well by en
lightened public opinion as by a
decision of the highest court of the
land. Thus to throw a firebrand
between the two races at the South
now friendly and yearly oecomnig
more so, is a desperate venture or
political crime. The National
Democratic platform alter arraijju-
ing the party -in power tor its
frauds aud shortcoming, pledges
those who are to fight the battles
of the campaign npon it, "to purity
the administration Jrom corruption
to restore. . economy, to revue re
spect for law, and to reduce taxa
tion to the lowest limit consistent
with a due- regard to the preserva
tion of the laiiJi of the nation,"
aud demands that in layiug the
tariff, it should be made to beur
heaviest on articles of luxury and
lightest 'on those of. necssiiy.
While insisting on a l eduction to
the revenue staudaid .so as to
avoid a surplus in the treasury, it
freely admits that in changing the
law; to effect this end, care should
be taken that Americau labor is
not deprived ot the ability to com
pete ' successfully with cheaper for
eign la nor, and t hat some regard
must be had lor the capital invest ;
ed in industries which h ive relied
on legislation tor successful con tin
nance.. The. very existence ol a
tariff negatives the idea of abso
lute free-trade, and the intent of
the platform is to approximate
that ideal standard ior the good of
the many, as nearly as may be.
without injury to our home indus
tries and those who make an lion
est living.-(and not great fortunes)
out.ol them.
A similar contrast can be ob
served in the Republican aud
Democratic State platforms, and
a careful study of them is recoin
mended to all who have the oppor
tunitv. We only call attention to
the fact that ours demands t!te im
mediate aud unconditional uboli
tion of the odious internal revenue
system, and admits the necessity
of retaining the. piesent, or adopt
ing another similar system ol cotin
ty government,, for the protection
of the white people of our eastern
counties. The contrast Itetwecu
the candidate; of the two parties
for the oflices of President and
Vice-President is not less strikiug.
While the country, alaimed by the
frauds and corruptions in almost'
every department of the national
administiatioii was demanding le
form and, tired of long coutiuueil
strife was sighing for peace and
1 fraternal feeling between the dif
ferent sections, the Republican
party, as it in defiance, oilers for
the siill'arges ol the American
people James 11. III. line, 'convicted
by public opinion of corruption in
hig'v places, himself the champion
of the corrupt elements of his par
ty ami the embodiment of iiiaeinue
methods in politics; and John. A.
Logaii, whose hatred of the South
is his clue ground of support by
his party. Against such men the
Democrats offer Grover Cleveland,
the tried reformer in the govern
ment successively of a great city
and a great State "and selected lie
cause he has given evidence that
he has the ability and the courage
to reform the existing abuses in
the government of the Union, aud
Thos. A. .Hendricks, an 'experi
enced statesman, iion whose hon
or there has never been a breath
of suspicion, and the very man
from whom the office, now about
to be pressed upon him, was stolen
by the great national crime of
1S7C.
Between the two tickets many of
the great and most influential Re
publican journals of the North, im
pelled by a high- sense of public
duty and spurning party domina
tion, Lave not hesitated to choose
Cleveland and Hendricks. That
One of these journals, perhaps the
ablest of them, pate the issue in
these words: "Shall the next
President be a man who has weak
ly yielded to temptation, or a man
who has unswervingly adhered
to the right against powerful en
ticements to do wrong f A man
who begs pecuniary rewards of
those his official actions has en
riched, or one who defies corrupt
dictation and seek only by just
courses to deserve the . approval ot
right thinking men T A candidate
attacked, impeached, tainted and
besmirched all over or a candi
date beyond reproach ! A Grover
Cleveland, whom honest men re
spect, or a James G. Blaine whom
rogues love."
We will not discuss the estate
ticket further than to say, that at
no time in its history has the Dem
ocratic I party in JNorth Carolina
oflered for the votes oi tne peopie
a ticket representing greater abili
ty, integrity and energy than that
headed by the name oi lion. Al
fred M. Scales, or one that was
more favorably received by the
people in all parts of the State;
while Dr. York, who heads the Re
publican ticket, having less than
two years ago been elected to Cou
gress in part by Democratic votes,
on the claim that he was still a
Democrat (though he threw off
the mask aud stood displayed a
staunch Republican as soon as he
took his seat), cannot command
the full vote ot his party, because
many of the faithful say, it was aii
outrage to prefer so recent a con
vert to abler men who have fought
in their ranks.
With such candidates as the
Democratic party presents, and
such principles as it has 'enuncia
ted, we have nothing to fear, it we
' . . . i-
are out true io ourscics. n
we will but pioperly organize our
forces and go to work we shall
surely win. After twenty-four
years of exclusion from adminis
tration of JSationai anairs, an in
dications point to a triumphant re
turn of Democracy to power on the
4th of March next, aud if the peo
ple will but remember what De
mocracy has done for them in this
State, we shall elect our whole
ticket by a greater majority than
ever before. They cannot forget
the venality, corruption, fraud, in
competency and oppression, culmi
nating in actual war upon our peo
pie, attending Republican rule in
this State and Irom which Democ
racy promptly relieved them They
cannot forget that by reckless
appropriations and the issue oi'
fraudulent bonds, far which t.li.
State received nothing in return,
the Republicans destroyed her
credit aud reduced her to bank
ruptcy, aud that the Democrats
have annihilated the iramiuieut
bonds by a fair compromise-with
the creditors or the Slate rcdun-d
her honest debt by t luce l'otiitlis
and restored her old fair credit 'in
the markets or the world. They
cannot forget that Republicans
levied heavy taxes uio:r t lie peo
ple professedly ior popular educa
tion but misused the money so
that, no schools were tauiihl : while
now, with less ' burdensome' taxa
tion, Democrats ate .expending
over hall a -million 01 moiiiy an
nually in teaching the' children of
both races under a system ol pub
lic 'instruction which is admitted
to be equal to the oest in the laiui.
They cannot forget that notwith
standing the' immense appropria
tions made for railroad purposes
all our railroads languished under
Republican control. I nder Penio-
craiie administration, the Mew tor
the North Carolina railroad in
which the State's in iciest was in
daiig.-r of being so.il, has been ad
justed, the continued control ol
the road by the Mate secured,-ami
its property established, so that it,
must be a source of great piotit
instead of a public burden. The
Western North Carolina railroad,
which was left in a wretched con
dition, the Blue Ridge xecining to
be uu insuperable barrier to its
further progress, has pierced the
mountains, one brauch of it put in
connection with the great railroad
system of the northwest, and the
othei rapidly approaching the ex
treme western Uirder of the State
aud developing the maiiy resources
of the counties so long cut off hum
the rest of the world ; the Yadkin
Valley railroad resuscitated and
extending its iron arm across the
North Carolina railroad at Greens
boro toward the fertile valleys of
our northwestern region; and the
Chester aud Lenoir road, &c, Jfcc. !
And more than all this, t hey can
not forgi t that in place of confu
sion, doubt, suspicion and war,
Democracy has given us prosperi
ty, happiness, hopeful confidence
aud blessed peace. What reason
there can lie to make a change
now and run the risk of being ie
miitedtoour wictched condition
of l.sbs and ISTo it is difficult
to see.
Hut that our -victory may be
signal aud ovei 'whelming we must
organize nil tcork. Let every inan

ty of the count i'v; and that it is

Hash County Politics.
Nash County N. C.
! July, 21st 1884.
Editor ADVANCE: As the elec
tion approaches it becomes the du
ty of every fair minded man 'to
consider and reason well his action
in supporting the one party and
opposing the other for we only
have the two parties.
The democracy in old Nash did
well in the selection of her candi
dates to represent her in the com
ing contest both for the legisla
ture and to 111 1 her county oflices.
Of her candidates for the county
offices little need be said, as their
services in the past are all fresh in
the minds of the voters, who kuow
full we 1 that the trusts which have
been con tided to them have been
carefully nursed and protected,
with an eye single to their duty,
which has been well performed.
Tbjs course will recommend them
to the supjiort of all .good citizens.
The writer wishes to say a few
words in behalf of our candidate
for the legislature, Capt. James II.
Exum, of Whitakers. Capt. Exum
is it farmer he came to our comity
some six or seven years ago, and
tit once secured the confidence of
his neighbors that made them his
friends who are now his warmest
surporlers, this kindly feeling be
gan to grow, and soon it was, that
the people nil over the county
knew who ('apt. Exum was, and
respected i.im for his worth. Sel
dom has it been the fortune of any
man, coining io a county, as did
Capt. Exum, comparatively a
stranger, so soon to get the confi
dence of the people, lie is a man
of strength, he will make a fine
canvass, making frieuds where
ever lie goes, anil we are now sure
that his selection was the very
liest that, could have been made.
It is a well known fact that in
certain sections of Nash county,
there is considerable feeling
against what is known as the No
fence law we are glad to know
that Capt. Exum is now, and al
ways has been opposed to that
measure.
At one time there was agitated
in that portion of the county in
winch capt. Uixuni lives, a propo-.-ition
to make a new county, ont
of portions of Halifax, Edgecombe
and Nash counties. Capt. Exum
opposed this move, and stated at
the time, that il'sncli a proposition
was in. Hie, he should work all he
could against it. and if necessary
would slump the county against
any such a move. We (Vol that we
havuj do.ie well and many wire

A STRUGGLE WITH A SHIRT.
Three hundred and sixty-five times each
year every mother's son of us has a strug
gle getting into his shirt.
If a shirt is worth getting into, if it is strong
and well made, sure not to rip or tear,
perfect fitting, then there is some compen
sation for spending so much of our exist
ence in such a struggle. You may wrestle
with the Diamond, but with its everlasting-stay-attachment
and reinforced bosom, you
will come out head first every time, covered
with glory and with the best shirt in the land.
If your dealer does not keep it, send his address
to DanielMiller & Co., sole manufacturers, Balti

A Marvelous Story
TOLD H TWO UTTEBS.
FROM THE SON : "SMfc;
" Gentlemen: My father reside at Glover,
Vt. He has been great sufferer from Scrof
ula, and the inclosed letter will tell yon what
a marvelous effect
Ayer s Sarsaparilla
has had in Us ease. I think his blood mast
hare contained the humor for at least tea
years ; bnt it did not show, except In the form
of a serof olotu sore on the wrist, until abont
fire years ago. From a few spots which ap
peared at that time, it gradually spread so aa
to cover his entire body. I asaure yon he was
terribly afflicted, and an object of pity, when
he began using your medicine. Now, there are
few men of his age who enjoy as good health
as he has. I could easUy name fifty persons
who would testify to the facts in his case.
Yours truly, W. M. PHIIXIPS."
FROM THE FATHER:
"It is both a
pleasure and:
a duty for me to state to you the benefit I
have derived from the use of
.Ayer s Sarsaparilla.
Six months ago I was completely covered with
a terrible humor and scrofulous sores. The
humor caused an incessant and intolerable
itching, and the skin cracked so as to cause
the blood to flow in many places whenever
I moved. My sufferings were great, and my
life a burden. I commenced the use of the
SassapABiUA in April, last, and have used
tt regularly since that time. My eondiUon
began to improve at once. The sores have
all healed, and I feel perfectly well in every
respect being now able to do a good day's
work, although 73 years of age. Many inquire
what has wrought such a cure in my case, and
I teU them, as I have here tried to tell you,
Atxb's Sarsapsktt.li. Glover, Vt, Oct.
21,1882. Yours gratefully,
