1J00NE. WATAUGA COUNTY,
WASHINGTON LETTER
from oar Begular Correspondent,
Washington has never at
tempted toentertain Kolurg
u crowd ns t lie one now ner
hi attendance upon the Na
tional Encampment the (i.
A. R., but it is doing it well
and in th main satisfactorily
although th?re are somecom
pluints of over-charging on
the part 'if restaurant keep
els. The city is veiy hand
somely decorated and more
profusely than ever before.
Mr. Harrison was kept away
by the illness of Mrs. Harri
son and his place is to be. ta
ken oil the program by Mr
Morton, who, by the way,
never 'smelt gun powder in
battle, having been busy du
ring the entire war in his New
York batik amassing his f or
tune. Of cotnw this hnseaus-
ed some good natural chaf
ing among the! bid soldiers,
but they are here for a good
time and areapparently hav
ing it.
One yedr ago, when Wash
ington" was selected as" the
city to entertain this cn-
enmpmerit, many prominent
local democrats feared that
it would by the republicans
for political purposes, a n d
for that reason declined for
a time to take any putt in
triakirlg preparations for it;
but they were assured that
there was to be no polities in
it, and accepting that assur
ance they allowed themselves
to be put on theeitizens'coni
mittee, and went to work
with a will, and it is noexag-
eration to say that thegreat
success of fhe encampment is
very largely due to the work
of these democrats ami to the
money contributed by them
selves and their democratic
friends.
But the old soldiers h a d
hardly began to arrive in
large numbers before these
democrats learned that, just
as they had at first feared
the encampment was to he
used to help. die republican
party. No blame for1 this
can be attached to t'ie repub
lieah members of thecitizens'
committee; they have kept
their promise and confined
themsel ves to looking alter
the comfort of the" guests of
the' city, in a manner that is
highly creditable to them,
but Congressmen and offi
cials high up in the adminis
tration, aided by the nation
al committee, have been and
are now hard at work trying
to prejudice democratic mem
bers' of the G. A. R. against
Mr. Cleveland. To accomp-
isn this purpose thousands
of copies of a pa mphlet con-
taininggarbled extracts from
Mr. Cleveland's Pension veto
message, are being slyly cir
culated anions them, and a
arge number of members of
:'he G. A. R., some of them
said to be in the pay of the
National Republican commit
tee, are continually harping
on the same old subject. In
Addition, there are a number
of republican Senators and
Represen t a t i ves , ch i ef a m o n g
them being Senator Proctor,
of Vermont, who was'dug out
of obscurity and put at the
head of the War Department
by Mr. Harrison, wli? arc o-
jH-rdy hhouting aboiit 'CleVt
land's dislike for tin-old sol
diers," and doing their lv'
best to create a prejudice a
aim:t Mr. Cleveland. It is
littl. j!ioi t ofdi.sgiltingthat
the encampment, which
should be only pleasant re
union ot the men who served
in the army together, should
be used, and unfairly used,
by politicians to further their
own ends. It is vi foul blot
upon what would otherwise
be a very enjoyable affair,
and it is not likely to benefit
those who are engaged in it.
Secretary Charles Foster is
very much opposed to p r o -hibiting

withstanding the opinion of
the Attorney General that it

steamship companies have
all promised not to bring
steerage passengers from Eu
rope as long as there h dan
ger from cholera. That put?
a stop to iminigrati Jii. Ital
sd prevents a lot of Ameii
caiis now in Europe who are
unable to pay more than
steerage passage returning
hom, It seems hard to shut
out our own citizens because
they can not pay cabin pas
te, and ticasuiy officials'
are trying to study up some
plan that will bejust without
being dangerous. Several of
the steam-ship companies
have offered to allow bona
fide American citizens now
in Europe and o'nablet pay
more to come home than sec
ond as second chus passen
gers on their return steerage
tickets-but the officials are
a littleafraid to give theircon
sent to this plan, as it would
be almost certain to beabus-
ed. Something has got to
be done, as demand have al
ready been made by foreign
authorities to know if these
Americans are to be left over
there as5 paupers.
There is a noticable de
crease among republicans of
the talk about the South
brealilrig up this year, and
an increase of talk about the
doubtfulness of the republi
cans holding their own in the
northwest. T h i s is signifi
cant, showing as it does that
democratic prospects arc rec
ognized even by republicans
to be steadily brightening. A
republican said this morning:
"Nothing but a serious blun
der on the part of Mr. Cleve
land or the democratic man
agers can pi-event the suc
cessf of the democrats." It
Was not a bad diagnosis of
the situation, as it is for Mr.
Cleveland and the democrat
ic managers" to see that no
blunder is made.

blest and most sng u-ious pol
itician in his party in this
State :
THE rii'-.SHJK.VTlAL l'lKlSI'F.CT.
The presidential piospect
is regarded by thoughtful
men to be favorable to the
democrats. They do not s'e
how Mr. Harrison can win
unless hecarries Indiana, and
many republicans regard
that as next to impossible.
As to New York, they do not
see how the 50,000 demo
cratic majority of last year
is to be overcome with the
election machinery largely in
the hands of democratic pol
itieians. Besides, there are
thousands of republicans all
jver the North who are pro
foundly dissatisfied with the
performance at Minneapolis

is bud enough to have a nom

THE NEGfRO REVENUE TICKET.
Witli republicans of East
ern North Carolina will not
support the negro revenue
ticket which Eaves and his
gang h'ave put up to save
the democratic party.. We
will support (lie people's tick

ands of colored nrVfi will fol.
low us; but if it should ap
pear Hint the colored rote
will go' solidly for the negro
ticket, then we would advise
the people's party to with
draw their State tL'ket and
appeal to' all white1 men to
vote tlje denTnai.!' State
ticket. Skinner was right in
saying what he did intheRal
eigh convention, and I lie con
vention made a great mis
take in not agreeing to it.
The gang who conti 61 the re
publican machine wa.it to
drive all white men out, of the
party in the negro belt. If
they get the State their pur
pose is to turn over the n e -gro
counties to negro govern
incut. In this we propose to
down them, and w e are ready
to go to the' full extent of sup
porting thedcinoraticState
ticket if n?cessary to smash
their schemes.
If the colored vote will go
to the people's Stite ticket,

The republicans who

will support Harrison. This
is the only way to m.ike any
showing for Harrison in the
State. Notwithstanding his
treatment of white republi
cans in the South, his refusal
to encourage and promote
Confederate soldiers like
Longstreit and Mosehy and

of the principle he represnts.
NEW ll.VXOVFIt COUNTY.
I set? that they have nomi
nated a fragment of a ticket
in new Hanover. They have
left out the sheriff and treas
urer. This is because all de-
c nt men are so disgusted
that none of them will affiili
ate with such a crowd. They
have brought the party in
NeVHanover to such a con
dition that for the offices of
sheriff and treasurer they can
not find a man who w o n I d
give the bond for the value
of a loussy calf. The best
hing for the colored people
is to lea ve the matter of lo
cal government to the whites
so long as the white people
are kept solid by Iheconduct
of the republican machine
managers. The black man
can be of no consequence ex
cept, when tlie white people
are divided. So long as the
colored vote is controlled by
the present party manage
ment the white people will
not divide. I f tlie colored
people do not revolt against
this leadership, the time is
not distant when their dis
franchisement will beasconv
pleto as it is in Missisnippi
and South Carolina. In one
county in Mississippi there
are about 0,000 colorod men
and out of this number there
arc just 17 who can vote.
