As an honest, frank, consoientioua journal, it has censured and praised as the ac tion required.! It condemned several things the President did, and at first, it found more to complain of than to indorse. We could refresh the read -er by an enumeration, , but it ia not necessary. . It is sufficient to say, that the Stab has been no organ, no eulogist, no suppliant, no thick and thin worshipper of Grover Cleveland.7 With the Sta. principles are every thing and men are nothing. ) Princi ples live. They ' are eternal. Men perish as the leaves of autumn fall . and even while living are too uncer tain, unreliable.and fallible to be fol lowed. ' "' But while tho Stab has been true to Jsinoere-convictions and plain spoken, it has been able always to do President Cleveland justice. At first we " suspected hia.-Democraoy." He seemed so completely to sever him self from his party on more than one important measure, and was so self contained and independent in his' course we feared at times that the Demoorata had made a mistake that they had only a oold, bull-headed, badly informed, self-conceited New York politician, only half a Demo crat, in the Chair of Chief Execu tive. ; But as time passed ' the traits of Mr. Cleveland became better known. His line of action became more dis tinctively Democratic while fully patriotic A strong man began to stand out before the public gaze. A man of brains, of great will and of great moral courage was revealed, A man of broad patriotism, of pure motives, of thorough honesty, of de cided convictions, of most positive character, of growing statesmanship, of broadening mind, of high 'ideal, came to the front. There is no doubt of this, and men of all parties began to understand Mr. Cleveland and to see the man as he is. The dema goguea and Republican organs of course pretended to see nothing es pecially to be commended. Partisan ship never sees the truth or tells it. We would not give a penny for the opinion of a blind politician fast hold of the public teat. He ia blind and and cannot seei i The Administration of President ieveland has' been a thoroughly honest, conservative, patriotio and safe one. It has kept the country quiet, contented and fairly prosper ous. It baa had no race distubances and tbe sections have been at peace; AH foreign questions have been wisely and patriotically treated. The President has steadily grown in pop ular favor. The business men as well as all thinking men of the country have been gratified at the good sense, the' political capacity and j unques tioned integrity of the President. Judge Thurman only spoke "words of truth and soberness" at Shelby- ville, Indiana when he said this: ' "Everywhere tbey predicted ruin to the bualnessof the country;-every where they told m that tbe mills nod factories and fur naces of the United 8 1 a tea would be shut down because tbey could not live under an Administration of Grover Cleveland. Eve ry where they talked about tho payment of the rebel debt, pensioning the rebel soldiers and the' lvord knows what other evils their vivid imagination did not portray to tbe people to prevent them rrom voting for Grover Cleveland for President of the Uni ted States. But the people did not believe their sad predictions, and thty elevated: the man to the Presidency. And now he baa been President for a little over three years and a half, and what do we now hear T Why. from these very same Republican ora tors we hear it declared that the United1 i States never were as prosperous as they are to-day. , Friendtfhere never was a President who took his seat under as trying circumstances as Cleveland did on tbe 4th of Marcb, 1885. Tbe Democratic party had been out of power for nearly a quarter of a century. Of course, there were many Dem ocrats who thought that when we got a Democratic Administration every Democrat in tbe land ought to have a good: office. Of Course, there were others who wanted no offices, but had their own peculiar notions as to how the Government should be con ducted, and to meet and satisfy tbe wishes of the people, those who elected him Presi dent of the United States, that man Cleve land bad the hardest task that was ever encountered by a President; And how has he performed that task t The people's answer to that question is found in tbe fact that after three years and a half of his administration the Democratic Convention at St. Liuis renominated him by a unanimons vote. That nomination has been ratified by the Democratic party of the whole country, from Maine to Mex ico, with the same accord and unanimity. j "Now, my friends, let me tell you that no second rate man ever was renominated for tbe Presidency of the United by a unan imous vote, and tho fact is that uieveiana had so conducted himself that his adminis tration has been so cleanly, so upright, so honest, so patriotic, that the Democratic party, from one end of tbe Republic to the other, said: 'Let us give him another term; he has done well by the powers that have been conferred upon him once. Let us take him again, for we know he will do well in another term, With Grover Cleveland as Presi dent of the United States tho coun try is safe. With Blaine in control there will be internecine war, seo i ' tional strife and foreign war. This means prostration, blood, ruin General Harrison is very nnpopular at home and especially among the working people. They know him. Chairman Mills says in the World: "I find he is exceedingly unpopular amonz the labor neonle. They claim that . from the Chinese quuestion down he has uniformly been found in the ranks of their opponents. 1 was astonished to hear in the streets of Indianapolis men and boys sing ing Chinese songs and otherwise manifest ing tneir disapproval.

Wilmington mm a Winter Resort. T - ' Mr. J.T. Patrick, Commissioner of Immigration, was in the city yester day, andduring the forenoon bad a conference with Mayor Fowler and Mr. R. J. Jones, chairman of the Board of Audit and' Finance, with reference to having the advantages of Wilmington as a winter resort for Northern, tourists written up and published for -distribution in the New England and other North ern States. It is ' thought that with proper effort Wilmington can secure a great deal of the travel that has heretofore gone to Florida in the winter. The matter was discussed at length and assurances were given that the city authorities would lend their aid to any plan that may be adopted to secure this desirable re sult, but it was suggested that those most directly interested should first be consulted and their aid secured. - Republican Oratory. The crowd or Republicans assem bled on Fifth and Castle streets Thursday night must have been high ly edified by the speeches of some of their leaders. Wm. Myers, an aged colored "man and brother," who was introduced by the chairman of the meeting as the "old wheel-horse of Republicanism," after pawing the ground and raising the dust in the good old style, got off the following, which no doubt will be filed in the "archives of gravity." "Now. my fellow citizens, look at dese boodlers (bolters). Dey remind me oi ae man wno went fust to de window, den to do doah. and eberv time he jump back he cut jim crow. Dey will neber succeed. De day dey gits lected will be when de wind doan blow trew de trees. I appeal to you. my Republicans! Look at yo Chilian unborn! What would dey do inde future?" Myers was as wildly cheered as any of the other speakers; and no doubt can make "as able" a speech as the best of them. Police Officer Turlington Reeeivee trio - Reward for Captnrlne Lomil. Police officer Turlington who was shetbythe negro desperado Frank Lomax, is getting better and is fairly on the way to. complete recovery from his wound. . Yesterday, Mr. John D. Currie, of Clarktoh, was in the city, on busi ness connected with the arrest of Lomax, and during the forenoon called at the City Hall and left fifty dollars with Mayor Fowler, to be given to Officer Turlington for cap turing the negro. Mr. Currie also called at the jail, in company with Mr. Jno. Clark, of Clarkton, and had an inverview with Lomax. The authorities of that place are anxious to get hold of him and no doubt he will soon be handed over to the officers of Bladen county. fra-, a na uoric. The Florence Times, referring to that portion of the Wilson and Flor ence Railroad in South Carolina, says: "It has been finished to Rowland, the first station on the North Carolina side, that makes twenty-eight miles of the road now in operation. The present terminus is one of the most fertile and - progressive sections in either State. A scheme is on foot to start a pine straw bagging manufac tory at Rowland without delay. A public sale of town lots will be held at that station on October 24. Several parties from Charleston have left bids for eligible business lots." Rev oar Pearson 1 Rev. Mr. Pearson, the evangelist, closes his series of meetings at Golds boro this evening. The Arg us says that "all told, several hundred per sonsperhaps as many as five hun dred in all have responded to the appeals of; Mr. Pearson publicly, thereby declaring their purpose to live a new and better life. Some of these were already members of the church, but many were not. Never before perhaps has the religions con science of the community been so generally and deeply stirred." Democratic Gathering at Clinton. j A correspondent at Clinton writes the Star that about four thousand people assembled at that place yester day. Judge Fowle spoke for about three hours and was attentively listened to by the great throng. His speech was a powerful one and well calculated to win votes and upbuild the party. After Judee Fowle's speech, the crowd, headed by the Goldsboro Band and a body of mounted men, proceeded to the Academy Grove, where three long tables wete spread with refreshments. There was plenty and to spare, Mr. Josephns Daniels made a ring ing, telling spech, and his appeal to the young men of the party will be remembered by his hearers for years to come. ! The writer adds: "To-night your townsman, Thos. W. Strange, Esq., will speak to an Immense gath ering, and help stir the rank and file of Sampson to roll np a majority of 1,500 for the Democratic ticket." Henry Donlap Captured. The negro desperado, Henry Dun- lap, who made" his 'escape1 from the county jail at Wadesboro on the 18th of last Angust, : shooting and ' badly wounding two prominent citizens of mat place, was captured at Laurel Hill Church last Monday afternoon, and lodged in the Rockingham jail.

Dunlap had been at large since the day he. broke jail, and has been in hiding in the vicinity of McMillan's Mill,' where he has a sister living. xne : qesperaao k made his escape from the Wadesboro jail by knocking the jailor- down, overpowering-and disarming himJ The two gentlemen who were shot,jrere passing the jail at the time, and hearing the noise made by the scuffle, hurriedly rushed in to -see what the matter was. Dunlap turn ed the captured pistol on them, and shot both down. One recovered, but the other was rendered a paralytic for the remainder bf his life, the bullet hurrying itself jin the spinal column. xne Kockingnam Hocket gives the following account of Danlap's cap ture: His captors deserve trreat credit for cne skiii and Dravery exniotted to ef fect his arrest! They were Duncan and Peter Livingston. Archy Malloy and Stephen Pate, all citizens of this county, aided by Messrs. atubbs. JJorman and i Walton, of Oneraw.

A four hundred dollar reward had been-offered as follows: $200 by the Governor, $100 by the county of An son which was supplemented by $100 offered by Sheriff rowder, of Anson. na ' i The Acme Plne-Flbre Ragging. Messrs. Cronlyj & Morris, the gener i al agents of the iAome Manufacturing Company, have received a copy of the following report of a special commit tee of the Cotton Exchange of Mo bile, Ala., appointed to test a sample of the bagging made by the Company Mobile, Ala., Oct. 16,1838.

A large and commodious building is nearing completion on the grounds of the City Hospital, facing on Red Cross street, for! tbe accommodation of the colored people, j It has all the comforts and j improvements neces-v sary for the purposes for which it is to be used,! and- will be quite an ad dition to this very useful refuge for the afflicted.

The storm cotton has abont all been gathered, and 'the' quality of that now coming in is constantly Improving. The receipts were a little slack yes terday, due probably to the Inability of the growers in some of the cotton growing sections to procure pickers. Still it is thought that shipments to Wilmington will increase rapidly in the course of a few days, BrnniwlcK ConDty. .The Brunswick Democrats say Zeb. they wish to have a speech from Vance, and it lis hoped he may be able to gratify, them. Brunswick county is a fine field for missionary work: and two big meetings with prominent sneakers will, it is be lieved, make it surely Democratic, and make certain the Tntion of a Senator and a Representative.

Democratic Rally The De mocracy t Wilmington Enthnaed. " Last .night was 'a" glorious one for the Democracy of Wilmington." Ac- euruiui; ,iu prugriuiiiue sue x.oong Men's Democratic Club' met at their club " room and ' proceeded ' tb 'The Orton,"u where the. speakers, -: Judge Fowle and Mr. Wf A.' GudgeiC twere awaiting them, They stopped in front of the hotel and- three hearty cheers were given ; for ; Fowle and Gudger, after which the ' speakers were escorted to their carriages, and wended their way to the Fifth ? ward wigwam amid deafening cheers, sweet strains '; of ' music . by the Germania Cornet Band, and burning tar barrels and fireworks. ' ' ,-:rv, ; Mr. W.B. McCoy, of the Democrat ic Executive Committee,? Introduced Judge - Fowle to a large audience composed of 'ladies and gentlemen, and the Judge for at least one hour and a half expounded the doctrines of his party most admirably and ably. - ; - . i JudgeFowle aroseXamidst uproari ous applause, and although he had spoken at Burgaw only a few hours previously was in excellent trim, and made a speech which made the wel kin ring. He divided his speech into two subjects the tariff and the coun ty government. ' He showed most plainly and forcibly how it was to the interest of the laboring man to vote for the Democratic party, and con trasted the Walker tariff with the Morrill tariff, showing how the ship ping and other interests had increased under the former and decreased un der the latter. .His explanation of this intricatelsubject was most lucid and logical, and he wasjfrequently in terrupted"by loud and continued ap plause. Hecompletelv! exploded the theory of Protection with regard to increasing the laborer's wages while cheapening goods he bought. When the Judge had Jcompletely exhausted the subject of the tariff he turned his attention to county government and showed the benefi cial results of j Democratic adminis tration. ;He depicted: in -glowing colors the difference between the present system and that which the Republicans proposed, and when he had finished there were many moist eyes in the audience, and loud were the shouts that arose for Daniel G. Fowle. When Judge i Fowle had taken bis seat. Mr. H. Aj Gudger was presented, and his speech was one that fired the Democratic heart. He said that he brought good tidings from the West and Centre, and made an eloquent appeal to the white men of Wilmington. He showed up the record of the Republican party in re- card to the Special Tax 'Bonds, in creased taxes under their administra tion, and also the many j evils which accrued while they were in power. H e speech'was short but very effect ive and will be remembered with pleasure by all who heard it. The speaking last night will be a most memorable one, and the large crowd which assembled were delight ed with the favorable! impression made. Many were the Democratic votes gained last night, and the effect pro duced by these eloquent speakers was most marked and satisfactory. The crowd last night! was a most orderly one, and Fifth Ward is to be congratulated upon, thej cordial and enthusiastic welcome that she gave to her next Governor land his able coadjutor. , Eilent. Gov. Stedman at Greenebero A special to the Star from Greens boro says that Lieut Gov. C M. Sted man spoke to a large and enthusias tic crowd at that place last night. He was introduced by Mr. J. H. Myrover in few a short but very felicitous re marks, in his speecn tne lieutenant Governor made -a scathing arraign ment of the Republican party as in contrast with the administration of the Democratic party, and paid an eloquent and forcible tribute to the comprehensive statesmanship of the National leaders of the Democracy. His review of the tariff was mas terly, clear and convincing. He closed his powerful speech with a burning and incisive indictment of Dockery and Radicalism in North Carolina. The able manner in which Lieut. Gov. Stedman handled the issues now before the people of our State, ia cer- tain to redound in great good ior tne party which he so nobly represents. OXallet Fishing.

Apart from the protracted but interesting discussion of the tariff question in both Houses, and the unparalleled dead lock in consideration of the bill; to refund the direct tax, the session has been remarkable in several ways, but in noue more than in the enormous number of measures introduced in both branches of Congress. I In the Senate 8.641 bills and J16 joint resolutions were presented. and in the House the record ran up to ; tbe unequalled figures of 11,598 bills and 239jotnt resolutions, mak ing the grand total of 15,585 measures in troduced in one session. In the Senate 2,391 measures were reported back from committees and placed on the calendar, a much larger proportion than in tbe House, where 8,305 measures of the total number of 11,838 intro-luced anil slumber in com mittee rooms.

Attachments filed in the local courts cover assets of Cornith & Co., and Cornith individually, to the amount of over $300,000, and in a general way it is known that the liabilities of the firm are : at least two millions. This amount, however, has reference solely to recent purchases, including Octo ber delivery, and merchants interested in the trade believe that even the amount of two millions dollars will be ex ceeded j Assets of tbe firm in this city con sist of consignments of pig lead in different warehouses amounting so far as Known to about $15,000 in value. "There are, of coarse, bills receivable, but their value is a mere matter of conjecture, because the res ident partner, as well as attorneys and banks interested in the case, refuse to talk about the failure.

Associated Press. Bbbltk, Oct. 20. Emperor William is expected to arrive at Drewitz station, near Potsdam; to-morrow, on his return from Italy. He-will drive immediately to the Marble Palace, where he will pass the day in retirement with his family. Monday is the birthday of the Emperor and the day will be quietly celebrated. No public fetes will be held. The Emperor will visit Berlin in the atternoon, where he wi 1 re ceive the congratulations of the municipal authorities upon his return. On Wednes day he will resume his itinerary, going to Biankenburg, where be - will meet the Regent of Brunswick. He will then visit Bismarck, who will probably accom pany him to Hamburg, where the Emperor is expected to arrive on October 29th. After leaving Hamburg the Emperor will j visit Leipsic, and on the 81st instant will lay the corner-stone of the Imperial Palace of Justice. He will return to Berlin early in November and wil) he present at tbe opening of the new Landtag. It is also added that he will receive the Czar on November 10th. The Russian' Imperial family will pass through Beriin on that day, and the Czar will then repay Emperor William's recent visit. The Czar and bis family are going to visit Copenhagen, where they will join in the celebration of the silver anniversary of the accession of King Christian to the throne of Denmark. Arrangements for Emperor William's re ception at Windsor Castle have been aban floned. He contemplates a voyage some time in the winter to Lisbon, and thence a journey to Madrid,' His decision upon the matter is not final, but the intimation has been sent to Madrid that he has in contem plation a visit to the Spanish Court His reception at Brussels early in the spring completes his tour of tbe Continental courts, the English court remaining under I Imperial excommunication, j Berliners anticipate a dull winter. The court is still in mourning, and leading fam ; ilies are absentees. The Emperor is now called "Wilhelm der Auswartige." He is either absorbed in work or travel. It is settled that King Humbert will visit Berlin in the spring. The results of the Emperor's visit to Rome beyond doubt have been a blow to the hopes of the Vati can. The semi official press here, having been instructed to maintain jucicious si lence, ignores the Vatican. The dissatis faction, anger and discontent of the cleri cals break out in the Germania and other Catholic organs. It is admitted that the Emperor used the utmost tact in his inter view with the Pope and Cardinal Rampallo, Papal Secretary of State, but authentic ad vices from Rome, which are accepted as accurate by both official and Catholic cir cles, state that the Pope forced from Emperor William a declaration that Germany could not encouraga Papal aspirations without encouraging the present entente with the Italian gov ernmcnt. From . a member of the. Im perial attendants it became known that Emperor William, while telling King Hum bert how tbe Pope had insisted upon talk ing on the question of Rome, said: "I bad to destroy his illusions, and it was done effectually." The Vatican dees not rest submissive or inactive. Cardinal Rampeila, besides instructing the bishops to renew the agitation for sympathy with the Pope, has prepared a statement ex plaining that His Holiness only consented to receive the Emperor after obtaining a formal declaration that the visit did not imply any recognition of the incorporation of Rome with Italy.

Redd, Boyd and E. A. Walters, was requested to wait on bim and ask him to plain iy and flatly -define his. position. Mr. Webster fiearing of this sent a message to the committee, said to have been couched in language rath er more expressive than elegant, to the ef fect that he had been well known in Reids ville for twelve or more years and his po litical .status was well enough known. About 3 o'clock in tbe afternoon Redd met Webster on the street and asked what was the meaning of his message. One word then brought on another and finally Redd struck Webster a severe blow. Webster then drew a knife and begun to cut his as sailant, inflicting wounds over the left eye, across the chin and on the neck.
