Who will Mr. Harrison name to tnke his place as tzar of the republican cam pun machine? is a question that is daily becoming more important to the republicans I he condition of Mis. Hani son it tiu-h thut Mr. Harris son will not leave her long enough to hear and familiar ize himself with the reports of those who have come here to inform him of the per nous condition of 1m cam paign and to receive his or der, and there is little pros- pec of Mrs. Harrison becum ing well enough to permit him to resume control of the campaign. He has so far ab 8oIutely refused to talk poli tics with those who have tri ed to impress upon him the necessity of an immediate del egation of his power to some one eke. Steve Elkins has been sent or and he will try to get Mr. larrison to name anew boss and it is possible, indeed, it would be probable, that El kins would be the man if it were not that Mr. Harrison las alwuys regarded Elkins as being tarred with theJ.U Blaine stick, and fearing to trust hiin in matters affec ting his own political w e 1 fare. He may do so now There is no member of the cabinet, excepting Charles Foster, who has sufficient po litical sagacity and experi ence to do the work: so, un- unless he goes outside the cabinet, one of these two men will probably be select ed to wear the republican crown during the remaindei of the campaign. General disappointment has taken command of the repub henns hereabout. The first disappointment was caused by the flat failure to make 0. A. R. encampment a rpub i c a n campaign gathering. and by the upsetting of all the plans thathad been made with that end in view. Vice- President Morton was a p - proached and asked to lend his aid to carrying out those plans; he positively refused, and also informed those who broached the subject that if any attempt was made to bring politics into the e n - carapment he would at once return to New York. It mat ters not whether Mr. Morton acted as he really felt about this or was actuated by a 'eeling of revenge and a de sire to get even with those who kept him out of thevice- resinential nonmination at Minneapolis: it is enough to know that he helped to disar range plans that would have been a disgrace both to the administration and to theG, A. R. had they been carried out. Another disappoint ment, and a big one it htoo, is that caused bv the knowl edge that Senator Hill has gone actively to work to car ry New York for Cleveland and Sterenson, just as those who know him best have all along maintained that he would at the proper time. Great as was the success of the G. A. R. encampment, in point of attendance and en joyment of the enormous crowdofvisitors.it did not escape the baleful shadow o in nigger lew things in this country do. It lias hist leaked out that thereceotion in the rotunda of the Capiti ------ building, which Congress bv sriechl act authorised Mrs. Gen. Logan and her ladv as sociates to hold, and which so rnyst?riously came to an end before it had fairly got started, was spoiled by the aforesaid balelul shadow o the "nigger". It win state nt the time that the doors were closed in the faces o the thousands standing in line awaiting their turn to pass through the rotunda. and reiterated in the loca papers next day, that Mrs Logan and her lady assist ants had becom so fatigued that it was impossible to con tinue the reception. The la dies may have been quite as near prostrated as they wisl ed the public believe they weie, but it was not caused by the fatigue of standing to shake hands with those who got in before the doors were closed. Among those w h o ncccepted invitations to as sist Mrs. Logan in' receiving. were the wives of three cabi net officers and a number ladies prominent in Washing ton, while a number of young army officers volunteered to make the presentations When they arrived at t h e Capitol and proceeded to the rotunda, they were surprised and some of them greatly shocked, to find that one of the receiving party was a "nigger", wife ol ex-Senator Bruce. There was an imme diate rumpus, and asitcould not be quieted, some of the ladies refused to stand with her and some of the officers refused tj make present a tions to her, the reception was brought to a close at the ea i liest possible moment, and to avoid a scandal during the encampment the storv a- bout the Indies beingso much prostrated as to be unable to contmueit wasconceived and given out. Mrs. Logan has not improved her social stat us by inviting Bruce's wife to assist her at the reception. I 7 nor has she heard the last of it Our advice is to vote a gainst the democratic annex headed by David M.Furches. V ote tor the ticket headed bv W. P. E.vum, as a matter of principle in order to secure the two main results which are paramount with every re publican, towit: First To secure theelecto ral vote for Harrison. Second To secure the de- ttruetion of the democratic party in North Carolina." Raleigh Signal, Loge Harris' paper. Not so very long ago Mr. Harrison met thedemocrats' proposition to reduce tariff taxation and cheapen prices with the sneer that "a cheap coat makes a cheap man." lie now claims that the great object of the republican tar iff policy was to cheapen pri ces. Evidently the President has added not only a cheap coat but a turn-coat to his wardrobe. Ex. x. a, tiiuusday, WkttWe Are t Eipct The following is from an ?litorial article of the "Na tional Republican"' a pajx-r published at Washington. 1). C, and an ardent supporter oi the Harrison and Reid ticket: "With the Lodge national election law in full force over the South and various iVm- o c r a t i c stiongholds no North, we may confidently look for a different state o political affairs than no.v ex ists. New York city will then return several more Republi can ( ongressmen th;m nt present, while more than twenty negro representatives from the South will render the Republican control of the future Congress absolutely sale and secure. "Heavy taxes should he laid upon the property of the whites to develop and extent the public school system o these States. Separate schools for the two races should be abolished, and the lan of bringing the youth of both colors into close and equal relation in schools ami churches given a fair trial, as one of t'le most potent elements of breaking down the detestable Bourbonism of the South. The State laws against the inter-marriage o the races should be repealed and and discrimination a gainst the blacks in the mat ter of learning trades or ob taining employment should be a criminal offei.se while the colored man's rights to lold office should be sacredly protected and recognised ew years of this policy will solve the race problem satis foctorily." Were ever moro damnable utterances put in the plain black and white of print? What an unblushingscoudrel must be at the head of the "National Republican!" Inci dentally he would lay the lash a littleon "Vurions Dem oeratic s t r o n g h o I d sun North," but it is the South for which this advocate of Harrison and Reid is prepar ing a hell on earth: heavy taxation for an impoverished people, social and complete admixture of the races every where, and close relations both in school and church. "Afew years," he says "would solve the race problem satis f a c t o r i 1 y." It would-it would, by the dissolving of one of the races utterly. Now, no intelligent South ern man is prepared to charge President Harrison or White law Reid. or the leaders of the Republican party with endorsement of the ruthless programme laid down bvthe "National Republican." But bout hern voters ought to re member that the country is filled with bad men--iust such as enned those lines- ami it is a fearful peril to put in power a party pledged to the passage of a bill which will render such a state of uf- fairs possible. -Morganton Herald. Hie State Bank Ta. A high authority on ques tions of finances is the Jour nal of Commerce. It is edit ed by David M. Stone, who ha the reputation of baingJ ()cto,ji:il a -'onserva five and most benutif-il writer. In a rwnt iium Iter of the Forum Mr.j Stone has this to say in favor of state banks of issue: "The project of regaling the present prohioitorv tax ttf ten per ocnt. on the issue of state banks, is a very hojte ful movement in favor of a most .veleome change in the financial conditition of o u r country. There need be no fear of any toleration of a depreciated hank imte circu lation should this restriction be removed. There is not a state in the union, w h i c h would authorize or allow it, and if it wer1 attempted any where the facilities for collec tion are now so sircat that it would be crushed out at once The best feature of the form er statutes would be preserv ed in new legislation, a n d the natural law of supply and Jemand would govern all the rest of the needy restrictions. The tax which it is proposed to repeal is in itself unconsti tutional. It is not levied for revenue, but for prohibition: and the fundamental law no where gives the federal Con gress the right to suppress by its action the issues of the state banks. There would ollow from its repeal t h e most perfect currency for bus iness purposes the world has ever know n. Flexible in its character, redeemable at all central points, and thus al ways at par throughout ev ery portion of the country, and meeting the ueeds of the Hturinits answer to every egitimate demand, it would prevent pressure and strin gency in the money market, and injure lift one but the greedy specula tor who makes bis big per cent, in a financial crisis. The republican press attacked the bank clause in the democratic platform very vigoiously at first, but they have lapsed into Bilence on the question. They have dis covered that, the proposed re peal is not only popular, but that it is very hard to make fin arguinent against its jus tice and p 1 icy . ' ' Ca rolinia n. Wliat They Did. D is frequently stated by third party speakers that at one time since the war the democratic party had a ma jority of representatives in both houses of Congress. This is true. Then thesespea kers ask. "What did thedem oeratic party do for the peo ple ? 1 he question Is a very proper one and is entitled to an answer. The first Con gress since the war, in vhich the democrats had a majori ty in both branches, passed an act authorizing to be put in circulation by the govern ment 1430,000,000. But there was a republican presi dent, that time. What did he do? President Hayes vetoed this act, providing for circu lation among the people of 1450,000,000. How was the presiden t's veto met? Did the democratic members al low President Hayes to have his way? No. They passed the act over his veto, which PUttheS450.000 00O in r-i.-. dilation.

Never has a gr?at party, intent upon the promotion of ri-ht and justice, had better incentive for effort than is now presented to us. Turn ing our eyes to the plain peo ple of the land we see them burdened us consumers with a tariff system, that unjustly and relentlessly demands from them, in thepurchaseof the necessaries and comforts of hfe, an amount scarcely met by the wagesof hard and steady toil, while the exac tions thus wrung from therri build up and inciease the for tunes of those for whose ben efit the injustice is perpetua ted. We see the farmer listening to a delusive story that fills his mind with advantage, wlu'e his pocket is robbed by the stealthy hand of high pro tection. Our workingmennre still told the tale, oft repeat ed in spite of its demonstra ted fsilsity, that the existing protective tariff is a boon to them, and that under ite be neficent operation their wa ges must increase while as they listen scenes a re enacted in the very abiding places of high protection, that mock the hopes of toil and attest the tender mercy the work- ingtmm receives from those made selfish and sordid by unjust governmental favors. We oppose earnestly and Stubbornly the theory upon which our opponents seek to justify and uphold tariff la ws. Speech accepting democrat ic nomination for President. Amherst Alliance KeoIutl, prf, Morg'anton Herald, Feb. 20th. North Catawba, Burke Co., N. C, Feb. th, 1890. In' body assembled the Am herst Farmers' Alliance, No. t,339, unanimously adopted the following,' Whereas, we the" Farmers' Alliance hare been publicly assailed on several previous occasions by Rev. R. L. Pat- tnn. of Morganton, N. C.and recently by the same togeth er with Messrs. I. M. Curtis1 and Thomas Blalock. Resolved 1st, That we ad an organization, resent inun measured terms the repeated thrusts made by them at the larmers Alliance. 2, That whereas the above named parties have branded us as the "old dragon", and as "frauds", "extortioners" "drunkards", etc., and have made repeated efforts to ex pose the secrets of the order, we do hereby withdraw from thpin our patronage as to any public matter, political or otherwise: and we recom mend that the brotherhood of the county, as a protec tion against such imposition do the same. While we very much regret the necessity of such a course, we believe it a duty we owe the fraternity, to resist, auch tannts, and therefore resolve that a copy of these resolu' tions be sent to the Morgan- ton Herald and Progressi vff Farmer, with request to pub' lish the same. .T.
