It had been well advertised that the joint canvass between the candi dates for Governor would begin at Monrle on the 27 th. It was also published by the Signal that the appointments had been changed und the joint canvass would begin at Albemarle on the 20th. This latter report caused many of Col. Dockery’s friends to remain away from these meetings. As previously reported, the candi dates met at Monroe on Monday and at 3.40 o’clock Col. Dockery opened the discussion by a speech of one hour. There were over three thous and people present. Though Col. Dockery was just out of bed from malarial fever, he made one of his strong, powerful speeches, which frightened Judge Fowlc so he could hardly speak at all. Col. Dockery started oft' by de claring himself a farmer, Henry Clay Whig, and his belief in a protective tariff. He said a protective tariff makes us self-reliant, self-dependent and gives employment to the laborer and protects labor. He criticised severely the unkept false promises of the democratic party. He dwelt at length upon the democratic National platform and its leaders. He de nounced and branded the lie that charged him with favoring mixed schools, &c., and showed up by demo cratic authority practices of the demo cratic party and a democratic mixed Sunday School in Wadcsboro. In referring to hard times, he charged Mr. Cleveland with lending money out of the treasury to Northern and Western banks without interest while he refused to issue it as directed by law. He referred to the democratic House defeating the Blair educational hill after it was passed by a republi can Senate three times; also the special land tax whereby North Caro lina loses about $500,000. Mr. Dockery was listened to with much interest by the farmers, mech anics and business men who heard. The crowd at Monroe was estimated from 5,000 to 8,000. There were acres of people and a much larger crowd at Wadesboso.. At Wadcsboro Col. Dockery made one of the best speeches of his life, and gave Judge Fowle the worst drubbing we ever heard any inan take. The Col. didn’t tell a single"joke the two days, but took his full time in giving solid, wholesome facts. Judge Fowle came upon the plat form each day trembling and stammer ing worse than a school boy before his first audience. He kept a glass of cider or something colored by him and took frequent sips. He was panting for breath all the while and seemed unable to talk. He told of his service in the Confederate army, his capture and release. The charity of the colored people ; their inability to rule ; of what the democrats have done for the colored people in build ing schools, asylums, Ac. He then made a bitter appeal to the white men to vote for him, but said lie would be their Governor whether they voted for him or not. He spoke of the great danger of colored superintendents examining white girl teachers in the .Eastern counties in case the present system of county government, is not sustained and referred to a white woman being leased to a colored man in Jones county no did not seem to know that under the old system under re publican rule there never was a color ed county examiner or superintendent nor a majority of colored men on any county hoard of commissioners. He failed also to tell of the white woman in Randolph county hired to a colored man by a hoard of democratic white county commissioners, only three years ago under the present system. Col. Dockery insisted on Judge Fowle telling one promise his party had kept, hut the Judge failed to do so. Judge Fowle cannot hold up at tlie present rate and we expect to hear of his quitting the field very soon. Col. Dockery lias an easy time of it and is making votes fast LYNCHING HIGHLY PROBABLE. As an humble, law-abiding citizen, we have condemned lynching. We have denounced its tolerance and encouragement in communities and have called attention to the great .danger of newspapers saying just when and upon whom this inhuman outrage should be perpetrated. The dreaded curse is getting to be alarming in this country. Men arc accused of crime, other men arm themselves and with- l out trial, murder them under the { cover of night and often the men are ; innocent. Such should not be tole rated and the murderers wha commit I these crimes should themselves be hanged. Good citizens should not encourage crime. A few days ago three prison ers overpowered the jailor in Wades-i boro and one of them took the jailor’s pistol and shot two citizens who attempted to capture them. The first notice we saw of the affair closed with the following sentence. “The in dignation of the people is so great that if he is captured a lynching is highly probable.” Just such newspaper comments is one of the first causes of so much lynching. If another class of paper should use such language against a certain class, the writer would -be styled an incendiary, arrested and locked up. Some newspapers wield a powerful influence in shaping public sentiment and all should be careful how they endanger the life of a citizen. Lynching comes too often from the newspaper suggestion. Lynching is wrong and all cncoura gcra, aiders and abettors of the crime are dangerous to any community. It is hoped that the prisoners from the Wadcsboro jail will be captured and have a fair trial of all their crimes. No lynching is necessary. Tribute of Respect. At a meeting of Rising Star Lodge No. 1655, G. IT. O. of (). F., the following preamble and resolutions wore adopted : Whereas, It has pleased Almighty- God, in Ilis all-wise providence, to remove from us by death, and call home to Himself to rest from his labors to a rich reward, our beloved brother, Sandy Thompson, July 31st, 1888—therefore, he it Revolved, That we, the brethren working under that great banner dedi cated to Friendship, Love and Truth, do mourn at the departure of our brother, Sandy Thompson. Be it further Regnlve.il, That the bereaved widow, his little children, and all others of our late brother’s family, have our warmest and heart-felt sympathy in this, their affliction, and we hope and pray that God in His loving-kindness and tender mercies will support, con sole and protect them in their sad bereavement. Be it further Regohed, That a copy of these reso lutions be sent to his family, and the sub-committee of management, to be published in the Quarterly Circular And in honor to his memory we, the members of Rising Star Lodge, will each wear the usual badge of mourn ing for thirty days. The Lord giveth and the Lord hath taken away.— Blessed be the name of the Lord. Fraternally, J. C. Cunningham, J. M. Hauler, M. Elliott, Committee. Charlotte, N. C., Aug. 15, 1888.

The blasts of a trumpet on railroads as a means signals to engine runners, switchmen and others engaged in switching and drilling operations, are now extensively used In the large yards of the Caledonian Fail way in and around Glasgow, Scotland, nod arc about to be introduced on some of the great railway systems having termini in London. According to the code of trumpet signals for shunting, in operation at St. Rollox freight yard, Glasgow, the various signals are represented by long blasts, short bla-ts, and “crows” of the trumpet, the repetition of each varying the directions. lor instance, one long blast of tho trumpet meins “move for ward,” and two long blasts arc a signal to “move back.” Each shunter, and in some cases the signalman, is furnished with a horn trumpet, which is eleven inches in length, having a reed inside the mouth-piece, the whole being of very light construction. The trumpet is car ried by the shunter, slung ever his left shoulder with a piece of cord, and hangs a,'toss the right h.p. Another ancient and pastoral implement, the shepherd’s crook, is also used for facili tating switching operations across the water. Faeh yardman carries a sort of shepherd’s crook by which he lifts the chain coupling It is stated on good authority that since this method of coupling freight-cars lias been adopted on the Caledonian, that not a single man ha; lien injured in coupling cars. This can be readily understood, ns the shepherd's crook obviates the necessity oi going between the ars ,—Argonau'. Republican Platform. Ist That the interests of the farmer and the laborer are identical, and whatever injuriously effects one works a grievance against the other. 2d. The hand that holds the plow should bo honored, and there should be a more equitable equation between tlie wages of labor and the compen sation of the office-holder. 3d. We look upon the purity of the ballot-box as the best possible security against threatening evils and we demand such reasonable State legis lation as will fully protect the elector in the exercise of the elective franchise. Any denial of the elective franchise by fraud or violence poisons the springs of power. 4th. Agriculture, manufacture and commerce are the three great factors of civilization and all legislation tend ing to foster these agencies will re ceive the support of the Republican party. sth. While industry and economy are always to be looked to for relief from financial depression, individual success necessarily depends to a great extent upon wise legislation. To this end the total and unconditional repeal of all internal revenue taxes will greatly relieve the present par alyzed industrial condition of the country —both by relieving the country of a swarm of unnecessary officials and will relieve North Caro lina from this unequal and unjnst tax. Internal federal taxes belong only to war and all revenues for the support of the Federal government (in times of peace) should be collected from customs dues and their collection should "be so adjusted as to protect American industries and labor. oth. The general government shouid not keep in its treasury any more money than is actually necessary to meet the demands of the govern ment ; and as the means of preventing any further accumulation we demand the repeal of the internal revenue system of taxation and the passage of the Blair educational bill as the best method of public education and of distributing the already accumulat ed surplus in the treasury. 7th. We are opposed to the present system of county government aud we demand the election of all county and township officers by the people. Bth. The Republican party favors aud will earnestly support any legis lation looking to the abolition of all useless State officials ,nd depen dencies, and the repeal of nil un necessary taxation, that government itself may not consume that which it was intended to foster and protect 9th. We favor the working of the public roads by some system more equitable than the present unjust and burdensome one. 10th That we oppose the present system of hiring out convicts by the State, so as to bring their labor in competition with free labor.
