There seems to be trfc tT)rchetision
among some Democrats, us there is a vivid
a
hope amnnp nopntUei3, that conflict
will be "brecimtated" aoniehfiw or other h.

Nof, of xurse nobody can tell what the
President raay lo or wli at Contrress may
do, but it shordd be borne in mind that
love for competitive craiiinations, nnaatis
fiictory distribution of olSecs and delay in
distributing them arc the only causes tf de
fence yet manifest iri Mr Cleveland. Kone
of theee ihiuga is matter for the Deiuocrat
in Coup-ess to make a row about. Th
competitive examiistions are prescribed iy
a statute which cannot now be repealed,
and the Jely may be a little dimppoint
tug but sooner or later, and on the whole
pretty soon, the offices be in Demo
cratic hand;?; and as to the appoint
ment already made, it is absurd
to suppose that anyUady but the Re
publicans wants to be clisagreeab'c about
them. Takeout a few Mugwump appoint
raente, given for suppose! value received
and Mr. Cleveland s appointments have
boen Democratic. In a few notable in
stances the party would have preferred
other Democrat than tl:ox he selected,
but as long as tha Pnsdent appoints
Democrats, and not Republicans, his party
is not pjic-r to quarrel with la. That
he has stepped on the tots of a number of
Congressmen is very pnbble; but Com-
pws.men with sore toes if ill keep them to
themselves if. they have any sense of pro
priety. ;
This mat tor of the offices, important as
it is,aftrall a mtrHcr on. The Detnocrata
in the Forty-ninth Congtvss can have no
iutention of quarrelling with the Presi
dent abou; offices. .The Republican kave
tlic patent far doing thvl sort ot thing.
That tin- Democrats in Congress will dis
agree with some of the President's reconi
utendat u-ns is as likely as that he will object
to &me details of their legislative work
Disareeiuents of this kini are inevitable.
They have frequently oocured between
Republican Congresses and Republican
Presidents. They are n.H fetal or even
oangemas. They are differences of opinion
not (juarrels. ,
Tlure will be prave di5oronecs of opin
ion among the Democrats in the next Con
gress, but we hope they will be able to get
along without quare'ling cither among
themselves or with the President. With
tha Republican Senate tWy may have to
qurrrel.

Edgecombe, probatuv more than any

known of the faith, the aims, the character
of the members of this church that a few
facts relative to thctn . mny not be nnin
terostia. The mod-siU of their belief is
i Predestination. They believe, and noth-
( ,nK shake their faith, that man has Ut-
i tie or nothing to do with his, own salvation.
J They believe that when a man is predes
tined to be saved his l.fe is predestined and
that & man who Iiv-8& wicked life is not
elected They do not believe in Sunday
Schools, although thy teach their child-
ren to read the bible. Thev do not be-
Iievo in Foreign Missions. They think
God will reye;d himself fo all nations in his
own good time. They be'iove in immer
sion, in close commuitioo, in a .spiritua
manifestation, in brotherly love and they
carry out the teaching of the bible that t he
chur.li should settle disMites between
members. If two meciWrs have a law
suit they attempt to settle it. This oftca
leads to no end oi trouble and strife. In
Edgecombe it is a by-word with the mer
chants that if a man is a Primitive, Bap
tist he will pay his debts. With the poli
ticians it is known that if a man is n Prim
iti?eBaptist ho will vote the Democratic
ticket. Having a personal acquaintance

With several hundred of this faith the wri
ter knows but ona who rotes the Republi
can ticket, and does not recall half a dozen
who are not strictly and conscientiously
honest. "Pay a!l thou o west" is literally
interpreted by them.
It was once believed and in some quar
ters the s&mc belief .may ttiil obtain that
as a church they are opposed to education
and educated ministers. Their position L:
that it is not necessary for a man to be
educated to preach, but that educated men
are more effeetive. In the town ot Wilecn
two ot the most scholarly men in the place
are ministers of the' Primitive Baptist
faitli. : '
In Edgccombs they have a larger mem
bership than any other deuoiuinationj and
very many who hold to their belief do not
belong t the church.
Their ministers receive no resjuiar sal
ary, but the members give them contribu
tions. They arc bitter in th:ar denuncia
tion of men who preach for money. They
claim thtir's as "the'' church Mid fellow
ship none othojs. although they recognize
the good in thoother churches. They
uun't behove in rcvlvsds, or eatip meetings,
or confiraiatious. ' - . -
In the aiaiu thir member are unedu

certain but we bcli. ve they do not publish
a census of their in. mb rhip, holding that
a few who hold to the ancieat landmarks
make a better church than' a large mem
bership not elected and called.' -

Vioe IVesident Hendricks-died very 6ud
dculy at his residence a few miautes before
5 o'clock this afternon. He came home
from Chicago early in the week and com
plained of feeling unwell, bat nothing
serious was thought . of it at the ' timw.
Last night he and Mrs. Hendricks attended
a reception at the residence of Hon. John
J. Cooper and after he came hom ho com
plained of pains in his side aud stomach.
Thi. morning he was no better and his
family physician, Dr. Thorn psGn, was call
ed in. ' He gave him "an emetic, and
later in the day an injection. Mr. Hen
dricks stayed in his room all day and was
most of the time in bed, although ho sat
up at frequent intervals, ie received no
callers, but about 5 o'clock Mrs. Hendricks
left his bedside to see a caller for a few
minutes in the parlor, fche was delaysd
longer than she expected and when she re
turned to the room she found that . Mr.
Hendricks was dead. The end of a busy
and eventful life had come, peacefully and
quietly. On his face there was no indica
tion of pain or suffering and his eyes Were
only half-closed, as ' if in gentle alecp. He
died of paralysis of the brain.
Washington, November 25 - The an
nouQccmemt of the death of Vice Presi

the capital. Mr. Hendricks' health had
improved so much , during the last year or
two that his frieudslooked to his contin

and the news of his sudden death- caine
with a shook. The first news of the sad
occurrence was an Associated Press bulletin
from Indianapolis. The President and
laembers of the cabinet were informed at
once and the President immediately called
a meeting of the cabinet to take suitabU
