Support the Mxssxnoxs. Vote the coalition ticket. Don’t forgot the fair is week after next The Democrats are organising white men's clubs. We regret to see it. Organise coalition clubs and take the Messenger in every one. It is good till after November. The Messenger will try to avoid personalities, but when we speak, we generally know what we are say ing. Republicans and liberal democrats are now nearly all satisfied with the ticket. We expect to carry Meck lenburg by 300 majority for the lib oral ticket. Why should we vote for W. O. Means ? Beeanse he is opposed to the present system of county govern ment and favors a free vote and a fair count; hence we should. Encouraging news corns in from Cabarrus, Anson, Union And other counties. Cumberland bolds her convention to-day, and wUI most likely nominate Capt. E. P. Powers and M. N. Leary, Esq., for the House of Representatives and a liberal county ticket. Why bl>oulil we not vote fbr Frank Osborne ? Because he is the regular nominee of the Democratic party—he is on the wrong side, hom o we oan't. The bourbons of this eouuty could hardly avoid nominating republi cans lor the House ol Commons. One of the three is the son of one of our best republicans, and a second one, they say, is an ex-republican. We have sympathy fbr them and will kill them as oasy as possible. What has a solicitor to do with the county government ? No more than a Congressman. Mr. C. C. Clark declined to let his name go before the democratic convention because ho was not in accord with that party. Because that is the grand quostion at issue. Why should we support a man who opposes county government? Because it is that which wo are fighting against in this campaign. Because we all opposo the present system of county government and the Democrats favor it Then sup port Means, he opposes it. William G. Means, is our choice for Solicitor because ho is an able lawyor, an honest man and is inde pendent and free from all parties. HOW SHOULD WE VOTE. In considering whether it is right fbr us to vote the Liberal ticket or not we should consider the princi ples of the party as well as the names of the men upon the ticket Our motto should bo "principles, not men, but men as the representa tives of those principles." What arc the principles of the Liberal party? It favors giving the election of all the officers to the people. It favors educating the masses, and it favors tho Federal Government aiding in educating the poor children of tho country. It favors a free election and a fair count. It is opposed to sumptuary laws and favors making the will of the people the law of tho land. It is opposed to all class legislation and aristocratic government and taxation without representation. It is opposed to arraying ono raco against another, thinking every vo ter should be allowed to vote for the men of his choice regardless of race or the opinion of others. Hon. O. H. Dockery is tho candi date for Congressman-at-large on the Liberal ticket. He is ono of North Carolina’s ablest sons. Was once a member of Congress from the 3rd Dist. He is the choice of every anti-bourbon in the State for the office. We ail ought to vote for him and the balance of the State ticket Our county ticket is made up of men well known throughout the county. (There is no question about tEeir polities. Messrs. My on, Ray and Morion are well known Repub licans. The balance of the ticket is made up of men who have hitherto acted with the Democratic party, but on account of the present sys tem of county government enacted by the Democrats, and tho attempt of the Democrats to pass the prohi bition bill and other class legislation and failures to legislate for tho good of the people generally, they re nounced their allegiance to tho old defhnct party, and havo consented to act with Republicans, not to make the Republican party strong er, but to defeat the bourbons and restore to the people and maintain for the peoplo their just rights. Then let us all, for tho sake of North Carolina, for the good of the present and the rising generation Vote ones more fbr principle. Let •a vote for men on the Liberal or people's ticket; they represent the true interests of the whole people. Let Republican and Democrat vote this ticket. .We have once wiped out party lines, color lines and all such prejudicial hindrances, aud let us once more come together as we did last year, and let us bury that old party which forced prohibition and the like upon us, so deep that it can never he resurrected again. Let us come together and make a long pull, a strong pull and a pull altogolhor and wo will surely win. Let there bo no scratching nor dod ging. Tho loadors of the party have spoken, advised, etc. The conventions have given us tickets to vote. Let us not question the men on these tickets. Let us only question whether we have voted agoinst every bourbon nominee. Let us be sure to vote against every bourbon nominee in the field from Congressman-at-large down to con stable. Let us not be deceived by tho story of the bourbons that all are Demorats and it makes no dif ference which you vote for. Be not ruled by personal friendship. Re ligion, politics, business and person al friendship should all bo kept sep arate and distinct. Your host per sonal friond may be your worst po litical enemy. Take a stand against the bour bons and hold it. We do not be lieve in deceiving any one, but even if you take bourbon money, don’t voto for a single bourbon nominee. Voto the coalition ticket. - IN SOUTH CAROLINA. Tho campaign has opened in South Carolina. There, as in our own State, the Republicans are uni ting with anti-bourben democrats to defeat tho old bourbons. In most parts of the State the 'republicans and Grecnbackers arc uniting, the republicans having endorsed the Greenback State ticket. A few days since the Greenback candidate for Governor went to Winnsboro to Allan appointment, and when he got thoro he found a large number of rod-shirters who became masters of the situation, and would not al low him to speak, though he had agreed to divido time with the bour bons. Tho red-shirtors became very boisterous, some pretending to be drunk. Great crowds yelled and called for McLanc, the Greenback candidate, pulled at him as he pass ed them, kicked him and burst open the door of his hotel, and had he not been spirited away from them, and tho house strongly guarded by tho sheriff and officers, it is not known what would havo become of him. Wo should not wonder at the treatmen colored men have been subjected to in that State when they dared assert their political rights, when we see white men of the best families, jtjst a few weeks ago leaders among the democrats, treated in this manner. We are glad to know we live in a better State. That our Democratic friends, though anxious to rule, know wo havo good men on our sido, and rather than become mur derers themselves will trust the reins of government to fall in the hands of other men if the people by a majority vote say so. It was hoped that the days of rodshirt rule was over in South Carolina, but they seem to be as well organized there now as over. The republicans and others will make an effort to vote, if they arc not allowod to hold meetings. Escape or Convicts. Rslrlsh Nsws end Observer There are quite a number of convicts, who work in the brickyard leased by theStats,near the Walnut Creek bridge, southeast of the city. Theee are quar tered in a one-story wooden building. Thursday night was a particularly dark one, rainy and stormy, and avail* lng themaelvea of some privileges ao corded them, nine of the convicts made their eecape by sawing out of the side of the building, eluding the guards. All were short ;term men, in for minor offeoeea. It is not probable that they have gone far, and no doubt some of them will be recaptured. This is the bluest escape made, and the moral of it M that ayea and ears must always be kept open when convict* are around. Tba ofHoen of the penitentiary will use their usual diligence and oar* to have the seoaped men retaken. These lines arc written in memo ry of the late Geo. W. Price, Pastor of the M. E. Church, Charlotte, N. C: "How beautiful u-s the feet of them that preach tbs uospel of peace and bring glad tidings of food things." Stop friends, for Just one moment stop, And drop one sympathizing tear, O’er one who, though in silence sleeps. Has left behind a mem’ry dear. A spirit tilled with holies of Heaven, Has gone to rest In seas of love. To him the bless’d reward Is even, By him who ruteß amt reigns above. Loving and loved, was he below. Mo angry thought came near his heart. His highest atm-Ood’s love to know, And to the world that love impart He knew no languor; e'en tn pain He would not yield, hut struggled hard ; Trusting In God, unto the end, He goes to reap the blest reward. Woo** * * • * • Now thou hast paid thy tribute with a tear, No longer round his grave In sorrow stand: Lift up thy head to heaven; see him there With glory crowned; he loins the angel band. Around the throne of God, he Joins the choir, No thought of earthly trouble or of pain. He would not have this world of pain and care, His spirit seeks not to return again, All Joy I all glory I blessed hope of earth He now enjoys, nor could he wish for more. Shouting aloud In songs of heavens birth, “’Tls fought, ’Us won, and now the battle’s oe’r.” J. N. C. For the Messenger. Harllee for Register. Editor Messenger. — Sir : Please al low me space in your journal to refer to a charge made in the Charlotte Ob server concerning my declining the nomination tendered me for RegisJ ter of Deeds by tho Republican Convention. One C. R. Jones, a white man, ed itor of the Charlotte Observer, stated in an issue of his paper a few days ago, that I had declined the nomi nation for Register of Deeds for the sum of SSOO, and that I had de clined in favor of W. C. Thomas, Liberal. I wish to state that this charge is utterly false and is too contemptible to mentian, only to be refuted. The editor ,of the Observer is uncertain as to what course to pursue in politics; for ho is first a Democrat and then an Independent, and again a Dem ocrat. Who knows where he is note and where he will be to-morrow? lam still the Republican nomi nee for Register of Deeds, and ex pect to bo elected. N. W. Harllee. Laurinburg, N.
