Sept. 13. Cheerlnff reports come from the Democratic can vass all over the State. ThisiiB truly a ' campaign of education. At the mass ' meeting to consider arrangements for the-Stevenson celebration, several good speeches, full of Democracy, were made. in wake county tne democratic nom inees are waring a heavy fight.. 1 The large amount, of Democratic doctrine now being promulgated throughout the ' State is having its effect. ' Almost every day come reports of the return of former Third party ites to the Democratic fold. This U especially' so since they see the State election is a simple choice between the Democrats and Republican's. Where voThlrdiSparty.Jnien..speakiand advo- j cate the Omaha platform there do Demo-' .' ' . crats go and preach good doctrine. So ' badly have some of the Thirdites been beaten In argument that several have canceled the& engagements. ' A gentleman who keeps np with things ' remarked to-day that the . opponents of a white man's government would hear something drop in a few days. Events ln the nature of dissolving; - views,'' he - -- . said, "are about to transpire In the op position camp. - The action of the Mott lenumicans was not unexpected, it was well known that J. O.t L. Harris and. others of the crowd were actively en- gaged in helping launch the Third party 1 ' -State ticket. They had. nothing to hope , for from the Democrats and since their recent complete shut-out ill the State." - convention they hardly cared .to affiliate witn tne straight Kcpumicans. bo uiat ' nothing is nore natural than they should support the Third party ticket. The only effect of their action will be a slight weaning oi ue Republican rants. . ine bignai, tne organ or tne jhoh wing of the Republican party, will create ' a sensation to-morrow. It will attack in unmeasured terms' the Republican State convention, and will say: .'.'Tho platform adopted ii of no avail, becauso . the unconditional repeal of the county" government system not only raises the negro issue, but is opposed by many Re- ' publicans. It would be a great calamity f by any means Eaves and bis venal and - - corrupt negroes should be put in con- trol of tbe eastern counties. They would rob and plunder as they did twenty-three '' years ago. Knowing that the nomina tion of the Furcbes ticket haa a Strong tendency to lose Harrison the electoral i vote and ruin for ever the Republican , party here, It is our duty to oppose this ticket and to do all we can to bring - about a crushing defeat for it. This we " ' -shall do without regard to personal or political consequences. Every k ' phase of the political situation justi- -fles and approves this action, and . we have the Arm support "of Mott, Rus sell, and hundreds of other Republicans white and colored. Our advice Is to vote against tbe Democratic annex head-, ' ed .by Furches. Vote for the ticket . r headed by Exum as a matter of principle - in order to secure the two. main results . which are paramount with every Repub-. llcan: First, to secure the electoral vote for Harrlon; second, to, secure tbe de struction of :the"Derirocratic" party in North Carolina. ' The ticket headed by -, Furcbes is simply and solely an auxiliary to the Democratic party; really a teaser to rouse the energies of the old Boor- - ' bons. The very men who placed it in' ' nomination know that the ticket cannot . be elected; don't expect it will be elect ed. Possessed of this knowledge, why . ' they Insisted on nominating a ticket Is a - mystery to every man. who Is endowed- - with any political sense." ' s 1 ue chairman oi ail tne committees oi tbe Stevenson reception met this even-- ing and completed tbe final arrangements forbjficipiloa. fif Jhe party. Since ' ' to night's meeting, a good deaT'more " " 4 ' money has been raised for the reception, ' In additiod to the fytnian band and tne Durham band, the Fayetteville band has been secured. This will meet Gen. Stevenson at Groensboro and escort htm to Raleigh. Mayor Badger, As theoffl- ; cial represent atlve of the city, goes to . AsheVnie ' t6"-MOiirowevehing-to'mccf the party.
