their tour of the West and South to

this morning. An hour before this
numbers of people assembled in the

and children, Dr. Bryant and Mr.
Beseell and Messrs. DeO raw -and
Bickford, the press representatives
who accompanied the party, were all
on board the train. Then there was
a few moments spent in hand shaking
and good wishes for a. safe and pleas

come to bid the President and Mrs.

The train ran very slowly so that
every one along the line of the road
was able to get a good look at the
President and his wife as they stood
on the rear platform of their private
car. . Between York and Harris-
burg an elaborate luncheon was
served. Messrs. Bissell. Bryant and
Lamont, took their luncheon with
the executive. The special arrived

the I President Major McClammy

Ih my State, and, in fact all over
the country, Mr. Cleveland is strong

Democratic party. Mr. Cleveland;
has given us an honest administrav
tionj ' He is the President of the
United States and. above sectional
Hnea, Now, bear in mind that the
President has done much, if not en
tirely wiped put All sectional feeling.
The Republicans know this, and, as
evidence of the fact, look with what
desperation their leaders are resorts
ing to. They are doing all in their
power to make an issue of the bloody
shirt, their old stand-by," but they
had jjust as well 'hang their harps on
the peeping willow tree,' as to revive
the worn out and decayed j bloody
shirt. ' : ' i r' i usaH
"As it is a generally settled fact,
Major; that Mr; Cleveland Is to be
renominated, I would like to have
youf opinion; on the man 'tor the
second place dh the ticket. Have
jou beard of any name prominently
mentioned in that connection 1" '
"1q North Carolina we have heard
very little talk about the vice-Presidency,
but I've seen First Assistant
Postmaster General Stevenson's name
frequently mentioned in that connec
tion aud I think he would be an ex
relleut man to place- on the (icaet
with Cleveland. I am not quite sure,
but L believe he is a native of North
C trolina, and I believe if Che State
was canvassed General - Stevenson
woujld receive a unanimous vote. He
wa8;a brave and fearless Union Boi
dierj and from what I can hear,
etinda well with the veterans. He
is a pure and honest Democrat, and I
know of no one whose popularity is
more universal . I am of the opinion
tbati his name would add strength to
the ticket-."
"The next important subject. Major,
is the tariff. ' What have you to gay
on that question f"
xes, the tans is importan 1
have given close attention to the sub-
j-ct, and you can say that the
Democracy of North Carolina,
including our manufacturers, are
heartily in favor of a revision ot the
tariff. I am inclined to the belief
tbati this winter we will pass a tariff
bill that will meet with approval by
the j people. Tho surplus must be
reduced "
"What do you think of Mr. Ran
dall's position on that subject?"
"While we differ on tho tariff with
Mr. Randall, as most of the Southern
members do, yet we can never forget
his service rendered to us in the dark
days ef the reconstruction. I hope,
now ever, that alt. Kandail win en"
deavor to meet the revenue reformers
half j way when the time arrives for
the introduction of a tariff bill."
"Is civil service popular in Noith
Carolina!"
"That depends. We all believe
that; civil service is a good thing, but
the present law as carried out is not
our idea.- The system needs revision.
We want the age clause stricken out
and the enure list of eligibles sub
mitted to the appointing power."

There was no concerted upnsing of

Thistle was cutting the water like a
knife and so well were both yachts
sailing and so plight the distance be
tween, them that the betting s was
about even. The course of the races
was almost parallel with the South
ern coast ot Long island and tney
were playing so swiftly that the flVet
of excursion boats was left far in the
rear. Slowly, but surely, the Volun
teer drew away from her rival as
they passedRocko way, the white sloop
had a lead of at least half a I mile, at
noon the yachts had gained a poi&t
off of Long Beach. The yankee boat
was to the fore. At 12:30 o clock
both yachts went on the ! standard
tack. Tne Volunteer was unmU

fully one mile and a quarter at 1:30.
At 2:30 o'clock the two boats could
be seen n earing the Stake boat off

turn. To all appearance the Volun
teer was widening the gap between
her and her Scotch Rival At 2:35
she turned the Stake boat on the

time was about a mile off the Stake
boat on he starboard tack seventeen
minutes later she turned the Stake
boat and was greeted as the Volun

turned he immediately caught the

toward home with a free sheet

wind was fresher, perhaps than it
had been at any time during the day
Away back in the rear, somewhere
in the neighborhood of two miles
and a half was the Thistle. The
Volunteer flew toward her 'goal
amid blasts upon blasts from
steamer whistles, and crossed the
line at 4.23-47. The Electras gun
was fired and belched out louder
than it ever did.- The Volunteer
eased up a little, took in her baloon

way to JBay Kidge. me steam ooaw

to take copies ot tne aostracts fori
the years covered by the missing

one of their own members, Mr. Jas.

here the interesting fact was recalled
that Collins bad tor years Daen cierk

which be bad sold to the Abstract
Company for a good round sum. . It
was during tne incumbency or ms

value to the copied abstracts.
The grand jury, which body elects

calling on such commissioners as

That ' prohibition would ever be
reached in this State was never seri
ously considered. - The natives - are
so far removed from the current
movement in the North that they
were not supposed to take much in
terest in it. The negroes have not
been in the habit of training vwitb the
white leaders. .The great travel from
the North suggest edthe advisability
of keeping well stocked barrooms in
order that as much money as possi
ble might be retained here. The
temperance workers were unknown
and without : influence, and " when

on, is the cause of wailing and gnash

In half a dozen counties elections
were brought on under the local op

paign ol 1876, white preachers, of ten
accompanied by white female work
ers, went down into colored churches
and prayed with a vim for the aboli
tion ot the liquor traffic. The ne
groes were at first amazed, and then
he amazement turned to pleasure
when tbey found that their votes
were courted by the whites. Colored
men of prominence were appealed to
to take their stand not "by" but as
'members of better clAsses." In
other words, the idea was carefully
spread forth that "the Xord hath
made His people one." The liquor
men, on the other hand, relied on
the want of interest among the na
tives, the "cupidity of the Yankee
settlers, ' and the well known love of
the negro for liquor to defeat prohi
bition. They introduced the Texas
tetter of Jefferson Davis to influence
the ex Confederates, but this was off
set by a letter written by Mr. Davis
to a friend in Hamilton count , in

Other elections are rapidly coming
on. Hillsboro county will vote on the
30th and it is a forgone conclusion
that the Prohibitionists will win. Lee
and Pasco counties will vote on the
10th of October, and Bradford will
vote four days later. In the coun
ties the antis are practically making
no fight, owing to the combination oi
church, negro, Confederate and Fed
eral,' Petitions for an election are being
circulated in the county in which St.
Augustine is situated, and the old
Spanish stronghold' will surrender to

many other counties petitions are
being signed upv so that- before the
winter is over, it is continently ex
pected that nine-tenths of Florida
will be as "dry" as a whistle.
. The last great fight will be in Jack
sonville, and the Prohibitionists will
win. iTbis is owing to a variety ol
causes. The liquor element in Jack
sonville is strong and influential, but
it has played a disastrous part in
local politics. The boldness of the
gambling hells and the houses of
prostitution has called down on
several occasions the indignation of
the people. They are tired of the
efforts of the whisky ring and its pe
culiar allies to gam and hold power,
and will vote for any thing which will
