We again congratulate the people of North Carolina on the career of peace, prosperity and good government on which she entered after tho inauguration of a Democratic Stale administration and which has beep unbroken for so many years since ; upon the just and impartial enforcement of the laws ; upon the ctlicieucy of our common school sys tem, and the great progress made in popular education ; and upon tho gener al improvement and enterprise manifes ted in ovcty portion of thn state. And wo again challenge a comparison be ween this state of things and tho crimes, outrages and scandals which attended Republican ascendancy in our borders ; and we pledge ourselves to exert in the future, as we have done in tho past, our best efToftfto promote the material in terests of all sections of the State. Affirming our adheronco to Demo cratic principles as heretofore enuncia ted in the platforms of the party, it is hereby Resolved, That we regard a free and fair expression of the public will at the ballotbox as the ouly surcmeans ol pre serving our free American institutions, and that the corrupt and corrupting use of Federal patronage, in influencing and controlling elections is dangerous to the liberties of the State aud the Union. Resolved, That we arc in favor of the unconditional and immediate abolition of the whole internal revenue system, as an intolerable burden, a standing mcance to tho freedom of elections, and a source of great annoyance aud corrup tion in its practical operation. Rsolved, That uo government has a right to bucden its people with taxes beyond the amount required to pay its necessary Expenses and gradually extin guish its publij debt. Anil that when ever the revenues, however, derived, exceed this amount, they should be re duced so as to avoid a surplus in the treasury. We therefore) urge upon our Senators aud Representatives in Con gress to exert themselves hi favor of such legislation as will secure this end. Resolved, that with respect to the tariff we reaffirm the life long and fun damental principles of the party as de clared iu the National Democratic plat forms and that the details of the meth od by which the constitutional revenue tariff shall be gradually reached, arc subjeots which tho party's representa tives at the federal capital must bo trus ted to adjust; but iu our opinion the duties on foreign importations should be levied for tho production of publie rev enue, and the discriminations in its adjustment should be such as would place the highest rates on luxuiios and the lowest on tho necessaries of life, distribute as equally as possible the burdens of taxation aud confer tho great est good to tho greatest number of the American people. Resolved, That the course of the Dem ocratic party in furtherance of popular education, by efficient public schools in all sections, and the establishment, of graded and normal schools in the larger towns aud accessible centers, is a suffi cient guarantee that wo favor tho edu cation of all classes of our people and we will promote and improvo the pres ent educational advantages so far as it can be done without burdening tho peo ple by excessive taxation. And wheras, Ihero is now moro than a hundred millions of dollars in the treasury of the United States wrung from the pockets of tho people by unjust taxation on the part of tho Republieau party i therefore, Resolved, That to will accept such distribution of said surplus revenues of tho governmett for educational purpo ses as may be made by the Congress of tho United States: provided it/ways, thai the sajie shall bo disbursed by State agents, and not accompanied bv objec tionable features and embarrassing con ditions. Resolved, That it is due to the white so cbiof oui eastern counties, who have ooni m erfully borne tlicr share of our som on burdens, that the present or cou« other equally effective system of de.nty government shall be maintain ed Resolved That in view of tho existing and increasing harmony aud kindly feel ing between the two races in this State, and a similar condition of things which we believe to exist generally in ether Southern States, wo doprecato the at tempt of tho Republican party, in its recent platform at Chicago, to forco civil rights as a living issue, and we de nounce it as a tire brand and a hypo critical expression of interest in tho blaok race, a wanton iusult to tho whites of theSouth, and tending to «tir up strife between the now friendly raeos.

This country ia filled with ucarl; sixty millions of human beings active in tho pursuits of peace, every indiriduul of whom is tt tribute payer to this gov ernment. That tho administration should bo managed mth a view to mak ing the burdens of these millions—tho greater portion of whom aro struggling foi a bare subsistence—as light ax pos sible consistent with the requirements of good government admits of no argu ment. The first step necessary to such government is to place an honest tnau at the head of it who possesses the pow er and the will to do that which is right, and which will result in the greatest good to tiie country Road Blaine's record and deoido if ho is the man. Mr. Aiken, Democrat, said : 'l am instructed by tho committee on educa tion to ask unanimous consent of the House to take from tho Spcakei's table Senate bill No. 308, [Education liill] for reference to tint committee." Mr. Iliscock (Rep.)—"l object." That ended the career of that bill in the House Senate bill 398 was the Rlair bill and Mr. Iliscock, the Republican manager on the flooi of the House, interposed his objection to its being referred and vir tually killed the bill under the rules of the Ilousa. Dr. York was a member of that House and yet with this fact on record he pre tends that the Democratic party is re sponsible for tho failure to put through tho bill. Eleuaxcb and PtniTY.—Ladies who appreciate elegance and purity aro using I'arkcr's Hair Balsam. It is tho best artiole sold for restoring gray hair it* original color, beauty and lustre. Ex-Seuator Joseph E. McDonald predicts with unhesitating confidence tho election of Cleveland. In 1831 the value of th" cotton mills in tho United States was $ !9,000,000- in 1870 it was $141,000,-000, and in 1880 $108,'"5,000. Consider ttie spectacle—Mr. JShiinc travelling the country (IU a special train iu a special car which has a special plat form specially built to speak' from, ma king such a tour as the mind of American never conceived of. The 1 Irooklyu Eagle gives a compu tation m.idc up at the headquarters of tho independent Republicans by which the vote of that party is estimated at 45,000 for New I'crk Slate. Ibe Her ald thinks the estimate is much too low. MIL New lork 'li.nes suys of Mr. Blaine : An examination of liis public career shows him to be weak-kneed, shallow, irresolute, cunning, and eow ardly. Iu his private caicer every new disclosure deepens the impression that he is a disgusiiug sneak and falsifier. Senator Morrill, of Vermont, is now 74 years of age; the oldest member of the Scuatc, hut a much younger 'ooking man than Senator Eduiuutis, who is his juuior by soma eighteen years. The State of Vermont now furnishes the oldest Senator in years and the oldest in term of office, and is the only State that holds its united representation in the Senate of eighteen years ago. "\\ e proudly call ours a government by the people. It is iiot such, whon u class is tolerated which arrogates to it self the management of public nffuirs, seeking to control people instead of representing them." This is t|»c way Mr. Cleveland pats tho matter and if he should write many letters, and deliver an inaugural ad dress, he will hardly ever say anything fuller of uicauiug, or more worthy con sideration of all parties than what is contained in that short but comprehen sive paragraph. 4 The time has come far the Southern people to be appreciating the importance of having their boys, aye and their girls too, educated more practically for greater usefulness in life ; for the time has come when tho material advantages of tho South require such education as can only be obtained in piactical schools to educe the piofits aud benefits to be reasonably expected from them j and if the Southern people thcmsclve are to be unequaled :o the development of their re sources and '.he utilization of their own I opportunities, we may bo assured that. there are other pooplc in the world who will be found ready to come in and oc cupy and improve tho tempting occa sions on all sides inviting them. North Carolina's rocord, from the earliest of our annals, has shed lustre on the brightest pages of America's glory and fame. Iler people arc iich in cherished treasured deeds and tradi tions of the past. They are strong in the opportunities and resources of the present. They are favored with the most inspiring promises of an inviting future, which is ail aglow with tho most brilliant progress that has marked any period in the world's history. Look in whatovei direction wo may, it is ovi dont that a new «ra is upon us. These are the fruits of an administration of our government established and carried on in unison with '.he educated thought of the State, and with the convictions of thoso who represent its grand mate rial interest. I J ]• J ll'.V NJiJH) .t CIIANVKI When a couutry is thriving and nros j porous ; when all its natural icsouices are being rapidly ascertained and de veloped ; when its transportation faeil i I ities are being cheaply and quickly j multiplied, when its old industries are ] expanding aud new ones springing into life when its government is economically ] carried on ; when justice is impartially administered; when peace and good order aud respect tor lijw everywhere prevail; when its people are happy and I contented ; especially when all these i things come about after a period of iu . i tcstine war, murder aud robbery and ; plunder, lawnessness, disorder, public ! cxtravaganco and oppression, despotic 1 j government gcncnlly ; it will bo well ' tor that country and that people to con | sider what it is that brought about its improved condition, aud if it shall ap pear that this wonderful improvement is duo, as such improvements arc gen erally due, to the change from bad gov ernment to good government, it will be well also for that people and for that country to pause long aud consider well before they go back from good govern ment to bad. The material results of Democratic rule iu North Carolina are simply won derful. We seem to be en a career of prosperity and development that, if checked in no way, promise a most magnificent condition of things at no distant day. The improvements that tve sco every day around us, iu men, manners aud ma terial affairs, had their rise and have made their progress under Democratic rule. Will it be wise, then—will it bo pru dent tor us to change that rule Let conservative, thinking men throughout I the state consider this question well. The election is approaching and the people will soon bo asked to turn over the Legislature to tho Radical party, aud elect men from that party to the offices to bo filled. A wise people will make no chango in the political com plexion of their government unless sub stantial reasons demand it. Can any such reasons be urged now? Will a Radical Legislature give us better laws than we now have 1 Are tho Radical candidates better men than the Demo cratic candidate? ? Does any public interest of any kind call for a change ' Would it not be rash to make any change when our people aro enjoying suih a large measure of prosperity and happiness ? But again : Does the business interost of any private citizen demand such a change' Every man lives by his busi ness; from it ho supports his family, educates his children, and makes pro vision for establishing them in life. Would his busiucss be promoted iu any i way by giving the government into tho | hands of the Radical party > If not, he would do gross injustice to himself, to his family, und society - which must suffer if he and they suffer—by giving his vote for or doing any act to bring about a change. These are questions involving con sidcratioas, which must be controlling ones with all sensible men. The de cision rests with the yoters of the State. Tho Tribune is the only daily morn ing paper in the eity of New V ork which is supporting tho candidacy of Mr. Ulaiue. In its issue of the 30th of September, 18811, the Tribune, referring to the fact that many Ropublicaus who had been hold in good repute wore be coming seriously injured in character by tho exposures in connection with tho Upion I'acifiu Railroad scandal, said i. Now it is shown that Mr. Blaine " never deserved his good reputation. ! He had tal'en bribes in another case : lie was habitually for Bale. 110 had made a fortune by tho prostitution of his conscience. 1 What is the worth of the praise or tho - censure of a paper whioh changes like j the shifting wind. | Something- new and l »t-!,tl Drying fruit a pleasutc instead of | drudgery. No trouble to dry fruit with my Patent, Solur, l'ruit aud Vegetable Dryer. It dries rapidly, ou both side alike, and all uvcr at tho same time it has 110 equal for drying bright fruit as there is no scorching or smoking the fruit, no sticking, no expense for wood or water, no vuste, as it dries all the juices and sugary matter iu the fruit. It is not only the best drier for drying peaches aud apples, but also for all tho small fruits, sweet putatocs, snap beans, or anything that you wish to dry quick in the sun, as prin-ing leaves of tobacco &0., as any intelligent person will know at once who sees it. It is made of thin muslin cloth, such as is used for cover ing plant beds, streiehed over a light frame made of laths, with a tiu reflector so arranged as to throw tho rays of the sun over the cloth. Tho material for making one dryer 33 inches wide aud 10 feet long costs less than one dollar and will weigh about 28 lbs. Anybody that has seen one, or wish my printod in structions how to make, use &c., can make it in a few hours. Three dryers is about as many as an ordinary family can manage. The combined heat of the sun aud rcflecttr causes a contin ual upward current of air to draw up through the cloth which causes the fruit to dry rapidly. Set the drier iu the shade, pt.iee tho fruit on the cloth and then set it out in the sun, square with the rays, then in about two hours lift one eud around so as to bring it square with the sun is all you have to do until the fruit is dry. It will dry sliced fruit iu about half a day. Fruit dried on the above dryer for making pies &C-, requires uo cooking or stewing, simply cover the fruit you wish to use with boiling water, just enough to cover it, and let it stand 30 or 40 minutes, then put the water with tho fruit iuto your pie, sweeten and flour to taste and baked aud you will find it equal to green fruit pie in flavor and color, and I think better than when tho fruit i» put ub in cans. The above dryer and part therof is fully covered by Letters Patent either with or without the reflector, aud eny infringements upon the same will he paos ccuted to the full extent of the law Any one sending me an order with two dollars aud 12 cents 1 will send him by registered letter a farm right to make ae many dryers as ho wants to use at his place of residence only, with printed instructions how to make, use, ito., or five farm rights for ten dollars.

That often happens iu a day which does not happen in a hundred years. A necessitous man, who gives costly dinners, pays large sums to bo laughed at. Marriage, with pcaoc, is the world's paradise ; with strife, this life's purga tory. Our minds are as different as our fa ces.
