Boss PInttt has bten given his price, and he has agreed to help Mr. Harrison's man, Cui ter, try to elect the man he fought sc LP terry at Min neapolis. Such is the story which reaches me from au thentic republican sources His price i the promise tbat he shall be tirade Secretary of the Treasury, if the "if is a big as a mountain in thift caseMr. Harrison is re flected, and has not taken a vertnl promise from a thud party u9 he did from Steve Elkins in 1838, but he has it in his "inside vest pocket" in black and white over the au tograph of Benjamin Harri son. Senator Quay, who is now in Florida on a fishing trip, has been partially, if not entirely 'placated'. He told a friend; when he p u s s d through here a few nay ago, that he lutd promised togive the republican committee a month of his time: before the election. If these thirigs shdw uriy thingj they show that the re publican bosses, milch as they dislike Harrison, are going to do their level best to elect the repiiblteiin ticket; and it there are any democrats who have been counting on repub Menu defection as A serious faetbr toward democratic sue cess; let them read the signs with profltj and remember that it is work,- hard wOrk( and Idls of it; that elects can didates, and remembering that let them jump intd the fray with enthusiasm and stir iip all their lagging b'reth ren and there will be no re'dl doubts about results. There aredozeus df gdod reasons why Cleveland ttnd Stepheri fton should be elected a n d hot a single good reason for their being defeated; but rea sons do not count in the bal lot box; votes are what car lies the day, and ill dr'der to get out the voters every dem dcrut mttst work, work,-work front notf Until the victory is won. Representative J. 0e Witt Warner, brings encouraging news from New Yoik, where he says everything looks nnu stlally bright fdr the' demo crats who be says ire com ing tdgether beautifully, lie finds that the sentiment tronghout the State Is all that any one could ask to ward the Nathmal ticket. He also says that there is no good reason to suspect dis l jyaky from any democratic organisation in the State, while there it every reasoii t j expect that every democrat in the State, and he is satisfi ed that this means a good healthy majority of the vo ters, will dcrhisbest from now on for tle ticket. lie tfpo'ke lightly of the circular issued last week in Erie couity and said he did riot think it wotrld result id any barim There is &o cholera panic among? the officials of the Ma rine Hospital Sevice,- which represents tlte national government,- ip dealing with the introduction or spread of ep idemic diseases,- but a com ineiidabk activity has ueen shown in taking steps to pre vent the landing of any chol era pntlthts in oursea-board itier, and also td prevent the disease making its wiy it, by way of Canadti. The old revenue cutter, Ewing. is to be Used a3 a floating hospi tal at the Cape Charles quar antine station, wliileanothcr revenue cutter will aid in ma king inspections of European creamers. . It is understood ill the Gen eral Land Office that no Com misaioner will be appointed to the vacancy made! by the resignation of Mr. Carter, to become thairniHil of the re publican natiurial committee Until after the election; so that If Mr. Carter fails in his efforts td re-sleet Mr; Harri son, which he is most likely to do, he can get a little con solation by having his old place given back to him, arid by drawing the salary until Mr. Cleveland appoints his successor. Should Harris-m win he is booked for Noblri's chair. It woule be difficult to fin c! a milder ma u nered gentle nan than Vic President Mortoiij but according toa story that has floated over from New York, he recently made Mr. Carter's hair stand on end, by swearing a string of oaths that could only hdve been expected from a cowboy on a bucking broncho. Theoc casion upon which Mr. Mor ton ldst his temper was when he wits visited by Atr. Carter and asked to duplicate the check which he gave to Mr. Quay in 1S88, to be used for campaign purposes. He did not duplicate that other check,- ndr draw achek of any kind; but lie did give Mr. Car ter his opinion, very freely, of the niulerhaiidtfd methods by which If was Shelved to make loom for Mr. Whiteiaw R'eid,- arid he altfo told h i in that Mr. Reid WiiS the proper one to apply td for thedupli eation df the Morton e!ieck of 1888. It ia well knovn in thistoivn that Mr. Morton has a good right to com plain of very shabby treat ment from his party, and it is known also that the skirts of the nfen who rro'w heads its ticket are not e'ntli ely clear. Webster's Weekly: l'he ed itor of this paper had the pleasure of a pleasant chat titli John S. Wise, of New York, last week. He is satis fied that Clevelarfd will carry New York State, and that the chances of his election are more than good. Mr. Wise will be remembered by many as the republican candidate for Governor of Virginia a few years ago igainst Fitz Lee. He is still as pronounc ed a republican as ever.

Exam, People's Patty t'ahdbhitefor 00 ret nor of Sort It t. a rolina : My Dear St u: After look ing carefully over the field, I find every argument ugainst the democratic party falne. 1 looked darefuUyJthrough the "political tickler" and I find the republican party M re sponsible for nil the bad laws' arid only occasionally has A democrat voted for duy of the bad laws. The republi can party passed all the bad dcts of fhlancial legislation whirli we liave had since 'GO, tuimely those acts explained in the "seven financial ccn spiracies' en truthfully by Mr. Emery, and v hen these ihea fciiies went through Congress every branch wnsiepublican. One df the leading facts our reformers nov advocate is, that this legislation1 Has been more haruiftil than even the iniquitous protective tariff laws, of which the republican party is also Uie author and advocate. When Mr. Emo ry'H eloqilPiice shook the faith of the Westen. republi cans in th ir party. I am Of the opinion that the enj diri ment should have been, go to the democratic party which has so earnestly opposed all these conditions that now eru'sh the laborer arid farm er to almost a half existing stiite of livelihood, tf the re former's now divide on verge of victory, is It riot suicide and especially so when the.v are to look to the republican party for assistance, arid that party the acknowledg ed author of nil the evils of wh ich we com pla in 1 i se'3 so many dangers ahe'ad that T tremble for the destiny of bur State, under the existing political condition of affairs. The repuolieans are nowta king a census of the voters td find our strength in the following way: Fjra't: To find out how niaif.v People's paf ty nieti we have that have been democra ts. Second: How ih'any will return to the dem ocratic fold in case they give us a three cornered fight. Nov if they ere assured of a victory to fight their own battle they rejoice at otfr di vision and will take' advan tage of the game. But as the last resort they will support our People's party' ticket n'nd a victory fdr reform, and oii fy leave lis at their mercy in ISOG. Hen"e the wry s;:me flon that pulls our Ioadin'92 wilt turn on ris and devour u s in '96. A n d I see th a t v i tory for us now is a victory for the republican party iri 189G, with the strong proba bflity of their coming in the field in the eleventh hour this year even, and carrying the Sta te by reason of the Peo ple's party. While I regret to be seemingly untrue to my friends in the People' party, th'eiv rsa duty more sacred than personal friendship and that duty is to go in the cause that ealls the patriotic sons of North Carolina to the standard b ftrers of democra cy; and under this banner I aid not only true to friends but to all other citizens of my State, because democra cy is the true friend ofyill the people the masses. I stlr-r-ndei nil political ambition or pr:sjncft for what I .'n ceive to be a niore sacred du ty, viz: voting the democrat ic ticket and thereby proving myself faithful to the boss in terests of my Sta teand coun try. ( nssiire you of my jier sonal friendship, and also re gret everything that shall prove detrimental to you, personally. But I assureyou that the same motives that eause'd tile td be your political .dvocate, caused" me, upon accurate investigation, to be true to the party that oppo ses the great evils that ndw affect, vis. Yoilrs very respectfully, Dal. M. Hardy. (loldsboro; Aug. 29th. WHY BUSINESS IS RETARDED 15 THE SOUTH. The central ilea of Mr. Herbd t'rf speech; at a recent meeting of the Uoston Rank President's Assdciation, was to point otjt thecuases which retarded business in the South, and wei refer to the (pe-ch ngairi in o'rdeY to keep the idea before the public. It i3 evident that the iudufl try of the Southern people will continue to prove un availing against the finan cial policy which now regu lates the b'iisirief!s Of tliec uri try. No people have been more industrious and noped nle ha ve ever had their indus try so 'ittle reward: Mr. Herbert says that one third of all the money iri the country goes each year' irito the Federal Treasury. Now if the government was ad ministered so that a fair pro portion of this money retai ned to the section from which it was collected for cireuhi t i o n ngaiu, the drainage woold only prove temporary. But such is not the catfe, though under a fait adminis tration it would be, arid this is one of the complaints of the South. The figures show that in 1892 the governmen collect ed and spent $450,000,000, and of this amount $135, 000,000 were collected front the South. Now under the financial policy that has been i n a u gu ra ted a n d iri a i ri t a 1 ried by the r3pubiicun party Only a very srrrall proportion of this $:ift,dOO,OO0 gOes ba-k to the South. The South is drained of suVh a vast sum of mOney for circulation iri the North and West. No wonder that the South er n people,- when growing poorer ia face" of their unsur passed industry, should in quire into' the reason and de mand ,u know it. The fact stated above is one reason, an' a nrot important reas on too. The Southern peo ple rimy always expect busi ness to be retarded in their section so long as the finan cial policy of the government is influenced by the republi can party. There is fio es cacsfroni such a dead weight on Southern industry until i the republican Party is driv en from power. Within the last 28 years, says Mr. Herls'tt, the tax gatl erer has gathered in the South for the Federal treasu ry the siiui of f 1,400,000, 000. This amount stands for the contribution if tlleSouth toward the support of the government, and no sooner hus it, from yertr to year, reached the treasury than it is paid out never to return to the section from which col lected. One fact will impres the force and correctness of what we have written. It is1 that every dollar of this large sum which the South contributed to the support of the government, during tne past 28 years, has been drawn from the treasury to pay pensions sent to t h e North arid West to pension the soldiers who fought or were in some way connected with the Federal army. A people thus benring art undue share of the biirdens' and receivitig litttle of the benefits of taxdtidn cannot expect td prosper. Can they vote for a political party which has imposed undrie bur dens? Ex Afrad of the Issue. The' National Watchman; the organ of the third party; says: "Advice td all reform pa pers arid speakers: Let the tariff alone; don't mention it speech or' editorial. Iieep talk ingnnd writing on the three1 great planks of the platform, land, transportation and fi nance. The crowds will be with you every time. The old worn out, thread bare tariff cannot and will not hold the people." The fanners of North Caro lina pay more than $12,000, 000 tariff taxes every year, and according to the third party organ siHr matters' off.tht to be hushed dp. Probably this vastlc'dua sol that governed at St. Lou is when no reference w a s made to the n'pe'a'l of the tar iff in the platform adopted there by the third party. Was there a special pur pose for such omission? Is there a special pnrpneo now? Would it be threadbare to save to the farmer of i It i ff State $12,000,000' a year? Taxing them to pay this large sum annually is in ri -king the farmers arid other consumers' threadbare. But nothing is to be sa id about the ta i iff. ah! Possibly td discuss the tariff would in cur the displeasure of the pro tec ted m'aritffacturers North; and the Contributions to the tbirdlparty -campaign fund by republicans might be with held. Financial reform can bedii cussed, bift riofhirig must be" said of the tariff. Would it not be a good stroke of fii.aii cial reform to save our farm ers $ 1 2.000,000 a' y en r ? We think it would, and this i why we" favor the repeal of the reptfhlrcaiT tariff. State' Chronicle. ''We dou't want and don't ueed this third party. We will elect straight republicans."
