Using the Executived'part
metitof the government to
obtain republican campaign
material has been one of the
sjwcialties of the g. o. p. ever
since it controlled n national
administration. Whenever it
lias been possible to do so
this woik lias been done un
der the authority of a Senate
or IIouc resolution, but the
absence of any such nuthori
ty has not prevented its be
ing done during every nation
al campaign There is scarce
ly a single department of the
government in which a large
number of employees of the
highest are not engaged up
on work which would never
have been considered neressa
ry if the managers of- the re
publican campaign had not
ordered that it be done.
Senator Sherman is. an a
debt in this sort of thing,
and hfs resolution, which was
adopted during the closing
hours of the I isi: session of
Congress, calling upon the
Secretary of the treasury for
certain information concern
ing banks, State nnd Nation
al, since 1830, was for the
two fold purpose of getting
thf. republican party strong
support of thenational banks
and for obtaining statistics
which might be used ns anar
gnment against the plank in
the democratic national plat
form favoring the repeal of
the prohibitory ta.v on the
circulating notes of State
banks. Under this rrsolutiriil
all of the official machirinry
of the United States Treasu
ry has been put to work for
the republican party. In send
ing circulars to the National
banks requesting demand
ing would be nearer the truth
them to assist ingathering
these statistics, comptroller
Hepburn felt that some rea
son ought tc be given' f o r
su.h an irri'iisunl proceeding,
so the following note was en
closed with each circular:
"While it is admitted that
calls of this character cre.itP
unusual demands upon bank
ers and their clerical force,
still the vj we of the results
will unquestionably be rccog
nized and, therefore, the wil
ling co-operation of nil na
tional bank officers is confi
dently anticipated."
In addition to the circular
sent to the national banks
several thoroughly posted of
ficials, including Henry II.
Smith, assistant register of
the treasury, ha ve been or
dered to personally visit the
n tional banks in the east
wheie the information is most
ly to be ii red, in order that
there shall be no mistake con
cerningthe precise informa
tion wanted, Besides all of
that, a large force of expert
clerks are at work searching
the old records of the Inter
nal Revenue Bureau, hoping
to find something detrimen
tal to State banks, which
may be Used in thecampaign.
Meanwhile legitimate work of
nil these officials remains un
done and they draw their
pay for hunting up republi
can campaign material, to
pay which, democratic tax
payers have to contribute
their share.
Supers! it in;: dmncra's are
very much pleased IwH-auie
the first tdnop to arrive nt
th National Capital thin fca
son, with a car loaf", of oys
ters, was the ':(Jrover Cleve
land"; they regard it as nn
om -n favorable to the elec
tion of Cleveland andSteven
son. For the first time in thehis
tory of the country a score of
United States ministers a -broad
will come h rue to
make stump speeches during.
Ihe campaign, for the repub
lican ticket. The ministers
were not isked whether they
wished to engage, in Ihi? sort
of work, but were officially or
dereil to do it by hisMajesty,
Benjamin, through his man
Foster, now at the head of
theScatc Department. This
sort of thing can only be ex
cused on the ground thatdes
lerate cases it quire heroi
remedies.
Mr. H arrison's letter of ac
ceptance contains nothing
new, startling; or f ven mild
ly surprising; i t is about
what democrats and republi
cans alike expected it would
be, except its enormous
length, and its treat nent of
the force bill plank of the re
publican platf irm, that has
disappointed a few republi
cans. There is nf probabili
ty that the letter will m a ke
any republican recruits; it is
loo heavy and too long to
be generally read with care.
Life is too short.
The attendance promises
to be phenomenal at the G.
A. II. encampment, as may
be judged from the fact that
the citizen's committee has
allotted free sleeping quar
ters in the school houses, nnd
in the barracks that have
been erected for t'le occasion
to fiftv-five thousand men.
The committee officially an
nounced on Saturday that
no more applications for free
quarters could be honored,
because all the buildings at
its disposal were filled, and
there is not time enough left
to build more.
Officials here regard the
precautions that, have been
and are being taken against
the entrance of cholera into
the United States as necessa
ry, not only to keep out chol
era, but to prevent a panic
among' the people, of the sea
coast cities, by letting them
see that all the weapons of
medical science are being us
ed in their defense'. No trou
ble is expected between the
national and St tc health an
thoiities".
Sampson Democrat: Any
mail who knows anything a
bout the situation knows
that there is absolutely no
chance for Weaver. Friend,
if you have promised your
self to vote for him, get you
an auger nnd bore a hole in
a log, and vote for him in
that. This will do no harm,
unless it spoils the log, and
will do quite as much good,
and besides it will be no dis
grace to your children here
after. Then on election day;
walk up and vote tor an hon
est man,' the Champion of
true Reform, and the nominee
of the democratic party for
President.

A good one is told on Pat
l.xiiTii, of Wayne county, the
candidate for governor on
the people' party ticket. Mr.
Borden, a Wayne c mint y
man. w as in High Point soon
after the nomination, and
there met another gentleman
b orn OoM-horo. Asked who
had been nominated, Mr. Bnr
den told him to guess that
it was a Wayne county man.
The gentleman said he could
form no idea. Mr. Borden re
plied that the nominee had
the reputation of IHng the
biggest liar in Wayne onn
ty. "Pat Exurn, by t hunder
replied the gentleman.
A special from (Johlsbrrd to
the Raleigh News and Obser
ver says: From the present
outlook '-Governor" Exurn,
of Weaver ite fame has every
chance of 'doing" his politi
cal canvass within thf. .vails
nnd iron bars of our county
jail, ns the criminal docket of
Wayne superior court (Sep
tember term) has nn indict
ment against Dr. W. P. Ex
urn for carrying a concea'ed
weapon and threaten ing the
life .if Mr. Arnold Borden, of
this city, a lew weeks ago.
How would such n quick-tern
pered man like Exurn. w h o
takes the law in his oun
hands, befit fo occupy the
gubernatorial chair of the
good old North Htate? This
is n question our citizens are
asking themselves just now.
And thennswer comes back
that he'll never get there. As
;,a brag" and "a blower" Dr.
Exurn has no equal.
A gentleman in writing to
the Goldsboro Argus in reply
to a letter in the Progressive
Farmer mys:
"Did not Dr. Wooten know
when he wrote to the P r o -gressive
Farmer that the doe
tor's nomination herein this
county, Wayne, had increas
ed the democratic vote at
least 300; that throughout
this county the doctor wa
known as a brarrart and a
nl w-hrird, and that he did
not command the respect of
our citizens? We would not
assail a man's private char
acter, we do not intend dor
ing so now. but has Mr. Woo
ten never heard of the doc
tor's assertion that he had
2.r00 goats on his farm,
whf n he only gave in 90 on
the tax list?. That ihe fight
in which the doctor is bound
ovr r to court arose about, a
bet that he had on hann' 1,
32:1 bales of cotton, that he
made a wager that he had a
yoke of oxen that could pull
iG.000 pounds and that it is
commonly reported that, he
bought white western meat
of a firm here in Goldsboro,
smoked it on his farm and
tried to sell it to the same
firm for North Carolina ba
con; that he asserts that he
can raise 1,000 pounds with
his own weight added to it;
and did he not know that a
jury of his own countrymen
gave n verdict against him
in a certain case in Wayne
county, after he swore posi
tively that he had paid the
claim, nnd stated where and
when it was paid ?"

We will publish to-d y, or
as soon ns we can obtain the
necessary space, two docu
ments that bear on the rec
ords nf two Weavei'ites. line
of the art ides is from the
Sfntcsvill' Landmark, and
gives nn insight into past
conduct of R. A. Cobb, Wen
veritenotnineofor Lieutenant
Governor. Ti.is Mr. Cnbb is
an old offender, and lris.boen
a defendant time nnd again
in Uncle Sam's ''ourts. He
was not r-oniicted, and a nol
pros w.is issued, nnd this
would seem to indicate that
he was innocent. But tbii
might be r wrong conclusion
as a careful reading of the
Landmark's article would in
dicate. This particular Cobb
is an admirable seleeMor for
the Weaverite ticket. Noth
ing could be more appropri
ate. Tne quartette in the
Weaverite band of singers
trying to charm the honest
farmers of North Craolinato
support them, and bind the
State in the chains of negro
domination again is c o in
plete. Behold it! Exum,Cobb
Long, Durham.
By the way, what a fine set
of farmers they are so close
ly identified with the toilers
of the country and the culti
vators of the soil. Two of
them are doctors, and "Kur
nel" Long i a perennial teat
sucker of thero'st pronounc
ed "Radikil" kind. Cobb, of
course, is, like Butler, tin gi
ant head of the Alliance of
farmers, so much given to
farming.
But whata magnificent hum
bug is fhat tliird party thing
anyway. At the head of the
gang stands theSouth'sgrca
testentmy and reviler, the
persecutor and robber of its
men and women in war, and
its slanderer and would-be
oppressor in peace the vile
and ignominious Weaver late
of the Xorthern army of in
vasion. Here is what this Dugald
D.ilgetty of the Northwest
said at Bloomfield, 111., Sept.
2Gth, 18G9:
"What is the use of further
arraigning the defunct demo?
racy, with al' its h o a r y
crimes, at the bar of public
opinion? We know that its
acts comprise murder, treas
on, theft, arson, fraud, perju
ry, and all crimes possible for
an organization to connive
at. It would be a mercy to
put its record a million miles
deep in the pit that is men
tioned in Holy Writ, and I
may add that if a large and
distinguished assortment of
its alleged statesmen' were
sent along 'A would only be
common justice."
Read that white men in the
South brave confederates
and their sons and respect
the villain if. you can and
vote for him if youwill. Then
hide yourselves from the
light of day.
The other.record in that of
one H. F. Hover. The Hick
oro Press turns on the light.
In a recent wild, crazy, blood
and thunder screed he advo
cates the deliberate murder
of nil men who are not seoiin
drels like himself. He is too
corvtmr'tible. for a'ny notice
but execration. But it is well
to M the tropic r,f North
Carolina read what a villain
thinks and aims toeffei t. We
copy it.
Wh"n in vcstlga lion wad
mn Je by the Senate in 1882,
into certain Infernal revenue
collections in theSixth Xortli
Carolina District, Senator Z.
B. Vance ask en: the post mo.
ferat Statesville. Andrew D.
Conies, if R. A. Cobb was in
dicted, and the reply was af
firmative. Then this occurr
ed as slated by the Nortl)
Carolinian which says it took
it from pages 10 and 11 of
' I n vest iga tion of collections.'
Senator Vance asked:
Do you know what he was
indicted for? f
.ns. I think for complici
ty in fraud of some kind.
Examined by Senator Me
I);II, of Iowa: , .,
Ques. With regard to the
indictment of Mr. Cobb, I urn
derstand you that you have
no knowledge about it, only
a general impression?
Ans. Just my Impression
I have heard others say he
was indicted in the United
States Court, and Dr. Mctt
in his list of those discharges
put him doivn as discharged
for complicacy in fiauds.
Stand aside, Mr. Cowles,
your evidence is sufficient to
convict.
Winston Sentinel: Wheri,
R. B. Glerru, democratic can
didate for Presdential elec
tor, Was speaking at Macon,
in Warren county,' a few days
ago, an incident occurrcvi
which sh iws the temper and
determination of the Third
party leaders. , During li i s.
speech Mr. Glenn ashed, if any.
onr in the crowd who belong
ed to the Third party would,
be willing to see the State
once more turned to the re
publican party. . Mr. Squire,
h o ! i ves in the coun ty, re-,
plied that f o r himself he
would "rather see every of
fice from President to consta
ble, filleol with the blackest,
lvgro-s in the State than to.
see the present plutocratic
democrats in power." Upon,
this a lady arose and said:',
"Mr. Glenn, do not notice,
this man. He is unworthy of
your notice."
Asheville Citizen: Travel
lers often boast of the excel-,
lent municipal government of
the old world cities. Ham
burg cannot be one of them..
Its officials concealed the fact,
that there was cholera in the
city till it had an opportuni-.
ty to be carried tD ot he r
parts of the German empire
and to England and Scot
land, jeoperdizing- thousands
of lii-es. This was done, too,
inthefa?e of the fact that
the Hamburg newspapers as
serted that there were sus
picions cases of sickness in
the city and that the utmost
publicity should be given to.
the presence of cholera for
the more com plete protection
of ali. Emperor William has'
taken this latter stand and
if is to his credit, but. Ham
burg should be held up to t he
execration o f the civilized
world.
