The HoAXoKE .Nkws does not doubt und never has doubted, Capt. Kik-liin's Democracy, and its columns are always oj.cn to lit tn whether lis utterances be in accord with i own views or not.

M ., Saturday last, from blood poisou brought on by tin alteetion from which he had at turns suffered for several years. The disease was always aggravated by great exertion, and it is thought was fatally developed ly the hard labor he had undergone during the past months. Col. Polk was b rn iu Auson county, this State, in Apr'.!, 137. While he m,s quite you tig his father, wIm was a farmer, died younj; and Col. l'olk was at aa early age thrown upon his own resources. His career is too well known in North Carolina to be rehearsed here. While differing from Col. Polk iu politics we are not among those if there are any such who felt harshly toward lim on account of his views. He made mistakes doubtless; no uiau has not. "What errors ho committed were errors of judgment caused by his anxiety to relieve the great mass of American citizens from evils by which they suffered and still suffer and his jjreat zeal in hastening the reforms which he and thousands with iiui believed to be so much needed. But hi the supreme hour of dissolution, in the presence of the grim destroyer whose j hand cannot be staid even by love or liope or what seems to be dire need the roicc of criticism must be hushed, the sound of political strife must sink into silence, the clash of contending factions must cease, and only the man, his per ton.tlity must be considered. Col. Polk was a Christian, and as a Chti -tian acted up to his profession. He was n affectiouate husband and fi'her, a good neighbor, Ili-i great heart bore no ankind feeltuss, no m ilice; and the tale of sorrow and of need ever found a redy j response iu his generous bosom, whether the sufferer were a fncud or a stranger within his gates. No man ever ksew him to do a mean thing, uor was ho at-cits toined to utter harsh words against any one great or small. Such was the man as everyone knew him, aul his ftiends. of whom there were thousands all ovi r I thisbioad laud, will sincerely grieve tor the great loss sustained by them and by the cause of which he was the supreme head. THE HEPL'HLIC.VX Nil MI Si EES. The Republican convention nomiuated Harrison on the lirst ballot, giving' him 333! votes and Blaine 1821; MeKinhy jeeeiviug 18-, Thomas B. ll. i I d and Lincoln 1. The Blaine fore.n leog-iiz -d their defeat before the ballot was ordered and attempted to stampede tin eonvei.- tlou lo McKtn'.cy, wM'-h - i' lr tin largo vote that ceutleman received Harrison's forces stood solid and defeated the attempt. North Carolina voted as follows: Harrison 173, Blaine Me Kinley 1. Whitelaw Rci 1. of New York . was nominated by acclamation for second place. All the speeches and platform made the force bill prominent, and there is no doubt that Republican control of the executive and legislative branches of the government means tho force bill aud that moans untold trouble to the South. The success of Mr. Harrison has made Quay, Piatt, Fassett, Mahone, Clarkson, Reed and nearly all the Blaine leaders gore, and it is reported that they will not help elect the ticket. Whether this feelin" will last until after the election no one knows. They want to have control of the Federal patronage in their respec tive States, and Mr. Harrison will yield to their wishes rather than be defeated. A LETTER FROM CftPL KITCH1N.

T-ie.l with one of the stan iur's of the pally, and that my name oiuht n .t t he pre-; iit.d even to the convention of thi district until 1 retract what I may have .-aid ithmit Cleveland. If 1 am not worthy to he tru-led by the Democratic party surely I am not worthy to vote the IVnioeratio ticket. I have been trusted to labor in season and out of season for more than twenty five years for the party, and I have been earnestly solicited to lend a helping hand to the party time and agaiti when in need, and have never failed to put my shoulder to the wheel and give a push when called upon. I have never been considered unworthy to toil andswe.it for the party, but I cheerfully admit that have been considered by the Cleveland wing of the parly unwotthy to be one ol its standard bearers or even one of its ad visers. I am not indebted to the Democratic party tor anything individually, nor am I a beggar at its footstool. The party seemed to be controlled bv a few ;iui!ct- headed politicians cahledaid together for the purpose of killing out free thought and slaughtering all opposition to their sweet will. If such characters compose the Democratic party and are to dictate its policy and candidates then I have no desire to act with such a party. 1 have given all my life to the cause of Democracy and to maintaining the integrity of the party and upholding white supremacy in the South. I have never faltered for one moment in the thickest of the fight, nor have I ever turned to the right or to the left or varied one hair's breadth from the lines marked out. by the leaders. It has been my de light as well as my duty to aid in whip ping all boltcts and disorg.ini.ers back into the ranks, as every good party man might always to do. What used to be a virtue is now a crime, and what used to be ;t crime is now a virtue. I denounced G rover Cleveland and his Syracuse convention as traitors to the llemocratic organization in the State of New York, and as diorgauizers of the the party. I still denounce them as such, and will continue to do so long as I live, and every other good Democrat ought to have done the same. For this crime I am to be kicked r.iiceretnotiiou-.ly out of tho Democratic party, out of my home, out of my father's house; which houe I have spent the best years of my life to keep iu repair and to save Irom destruc tion. I have made every reasonable effort to get the papers to tell the truth on ine, but with no result. I have gone so far as to offer, if I could not bo heard other wise, to pay for my defence as an adver tisement, and still I have not been heard. Now I am done, I shall in the future net as my conscience and judgment may dic tate, shall ever during the remiindcr of my life advocate Democratic principles ; , ,;.,, .,,. h -i-; I Ii-ii-n I tlumi truin .1 .-n, Nun .I:ip1.'

Day: Mr Dkau Snt: Your open letter addressed to me and published in the lloANOKK Nkws has been carefully read, and I cannot understand why y.at should have drawn such conclusions and feared such resuhs from the action of those holding views such as were ex pressed in my address to the Alliauee. I am llu roughly cmviticed that a large lii.jciity of die Democratic party in North Carolina hold exactly similar icw , including nu-ii as patriotic and who are as c.tpalii oi judging what public meas iir..s w. uid be salutary and what, other wise as any to be foiuid. You then go into a number of platitud.s which no one denies, and whose relevancy to the contents of the aforesaid addr. ss it would require a lawyer to detect, and possibly a 'Philadelphia lawyer.'' Such as the c.Misi i: ut i ni of society, the necessity of different trades and professions to the fanner, the importance of factories and of capital llowing into the county, kc , Ac Then you ask "can the unaided efforts ol a part of us accomplish what united we have thus far been uuahlc to win?'' 1'uiw, I ask, has cither of the main politi cal parlies of the country (anil sonic of us have worked in both) made any faithful effort to prevent the ruinous contraction of the currency, the demonetization of silver, the trusts and combines and other as glaring evils? Then you assume that I chatge persons in Halifax with practic ing usury, which is entirely gratuitous, as designated no county, or even State, hut merely i 8 d the term "the communi ty." Hut do you deny that usurious interest is charged ? You charge that declare against manufacturers In it-ferring to some individu ils of a class, is that declarin'' against the class ? But, to ipiote from your letter. ' suppose you feel ihe bear charge will be potent, &c , &e. You aver that I would array class against, class. If this means that I would array the class of toiling farmers and wage uaniers geneially, who are suffering from evil legislation and the power of mony to oppress, against the originators and advocates of these evils, 1 plead guilty. Because the above mentioned portions of the community arc waking up to a sense aud knowledge of the sources of ihe greater part of their misfortunes, and humbly and patiently, and so far fruitlessly pleaded for an alleviation of these burdens, to the source whence relief ought to come they arc accised of deuying to others the privclego of living on the soil, of breathing tho air, and wanting uudisputed control of the c jun- Now, Captain you seem fond of Aesop; do you recollect the fable of the wolf going down to a stream to slake his thirst and espying away down the stream a kid similarly engaged, when his appe tite tempted him to pounce upon the kid? He justified the act by charging that the kid muddied the water so that the wolf could not drink. Win re and when has the fpirit of intolerance, of proscription, or of malice been shown ? Why are these charges brought against a confiding community, who, having heretofore committed almost exclusively their financial interests to others and finding themselves brought a! in ist to the verge of ruin, are t-eckiugsome changes in the framing of the law which they think will tend to their relief without workiug the slightest injustice to others? As touching the late county Demo craticeonveution you say "the Alliance had a clear two-thirds majority." I ask did you count before those wh would not pledge themselves to vote for whom and what at some future time might be presented for tlieui, and also those who protested agaiust such action an i urged its abandonment, or was the count made afterward ? And finally, Captain, you ask what the poison was t i which I alluded. L -t meausweras briefly as possible. Afier submitting quietly and patiently for years to whatever legislation our represen taiives chose to i-nact we found that while some portions of the community were prosperous, the wealth producers, und especially the fanners and those mainly dependent on them grew poorer And while the country was producing a large surplus of the necessaries of life, thotis amis of our own people were suffering the need of them despite industry and economy. Debts which could have been easily liquidated under fair legislation were becoming oveiwlielmiii''. It was thought that the cause of this state things was beginning to be understood; and without the slightest intention of infringing on the rights of others ve humbly petitioned Congress to anicini the laws which were making millionaires ofjomoatlhe expense uf otlurs We adopted the most elevated and unexeer tionabln declaration of principles and bound ourselves as much as in us lay to the faithful i.bservance of them, c. mini ting ourselves to the guidance of Infinite Wisdom. Now if any Alliance man havingacqusinted himself with our objects and aims allows himself to bo decoyed away bv the misrepresentations, by flattery, cajoleriy or selfish ambition, he is infected with poison in tno sense in tended. And now, dear sir, when you charge that the address partook of malice and hatred I wi'l not follow your example aud characteriie it as slander, but merely sav. mv dtar Captain, you are mistaken No other emotion but amity and good wishes find lodgment witn me. mis correspondence, at least on my part, is ended. I am and nave ever Dcen since the war a Democrat. I intend voting the full Democratic ticket in State polities. But will never vote for a minion of Wall Street or any other who will not adopt at least the (h-ala platform: and believing that these princitdes will not le acceptable at Chicago and will be at Omaha, 1 intend voting for delegates to the latter, and would scud only Alliance moil to Congress. I would urgently advise all Alliance men to vote the ticket presented by the late Democratic Slate Convention, for no one could mure sin cerely d.-preeate the re-establishment c f the miseties ol' recomtruetion and lew expciicnced them more sensibly than I did and never will 1 knowingly piu-ue any course which will reproduce it. And now, Captain, with feelings if respect, and best wi-hes, 1 remain, as ever, Yours very duly, " li. A l'ATl f.ltSON.

It does not act like a stimulant, impartial; fictitious strength from which there must follow a reaction of greater weakness than before, but Iu the most natural way Hood's Sarsaparllla overcomes that tired feel ing, creates an appetite, purifies the blood, and, la short, gives great bodlljr, nerve, mental and digestive strength. Fagged Out " Last spring I was completely fagged out. My strength left me and I felt sick and mis erable all the time, so that I could hardly attend to my liuslnesa. I took one bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla, and It cured me. There Is nothing like It." II. C. Beooli, Editor Enterprise, Belleville, Mich. "I derived very much benefit from Hood's Sarsaparilla, which I took for general debility. It built me right up, and gave me an excel lent appetite." Ed. Jenkins, Mt. Savage, Md. N. B.
