sonal investigation, giving
his first attention to his own
state, about which, the re
publicans are very imu-li al
armed. Mr. Harrison knows from
experience th value of hav
ing a few good oflices to dan
gle in front of political work
ers in his party, therefore no
man was surprised when he
officially announced that
none of tht numerous exist
ing vacancies would be filled
until after the election. He
wishes the impression to go
out that the mn who do the
most telling work for h i m
will have the pick of these
places. Among the most de
sirable vacancies are an As
sistant Secretary of Treasu
ry; a First Assistant Post
Master General; a Commis
sioner of the General Land
Office, and a seat on the
bench of the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia.
The fall session of the Uni
ted States Supreme Court o
pened to-day. The only bus
iness transacted was the
swearing in of the new mem
ber, Justice Shims, of Penn
sylvania, and the official call
of the Court on the Presi
dent. With all his faults, and
they are certainly numerous
enough, CommissionerRaum
has one merit, he is grateful
to Mr. Harrison for not hav
ing long ago kicked him out,
of the Pension Office, ami h'
is showing his gratitude by
leaving hi.s official desk and
going upon the stump. Tin's
week the Commissioner will
endeavor to get in some fine
work for Harrison at the en
campment of the Union Vet
eran's legion, at Indianapo
lis. He will go to Illinois,
where he is supposed to have
some influence with the sol
dier Vote, and make all sorts
of promises to those w h o
want to get on the pension
roll, as well as to those al
ready on the roll who a re ap
plicants for an iiicrease i n
pensiod.
Mr. Harrison's order to
the members of his Cabinet
and the head.! of departmen
tal bureaus of thegovenment
to take the stump tor him
was a shrewdly managed bit
of politics. Mr. II. was far
too smart to shock t h o s e
who believed it wrong for
member s of his offiVal fami-
ly to leave their dutie.s to cn-
. , ,
gUgelU political work, but
"there aie other ways to kill

Vttonuy General Miller, who
lately ::r itet! in ) published in
terview that he a opposed
to federal officials making po
litisal speeches, and believed
their proper duty was to de
vote their time to what they
were paid for, has been told
that, he must talk no more
inch foolishness during the
campaign. He was excused
for making the '"break" b e -cause,
as Mr. Harrison said,
"Miller knows nothiugabout
politics."
A new method of working
the Department clerks for po
litical contributions b a s
been put into operation,
which its originators claim is
no violation to the Civil ser
vice law. Th clerk receives
from his state republican as
sociation a circular letter as
king him if he has any "sug
gestion" to make that will
be beneficial to his party to
call at a certain address and
when he calls he is politely in
formed that he has been as
sessed five per cent of his sal
ary, and that he had better
lose no time in handing in
the cash. One of those circu
lars was sent to a Missouri
democratic clerk, who after
calling and satisfying him
self of the nature of the
scheme, laid the whole mat
ter before the Civil Service
Commission.

Maine will take the stump
for Harrison, but he will have
to do so before the people iu
Washington will believe it.
Richmond Times: We d o
no believe that Virginia or
anyother Southern State will
go for tin; third party, or
that enough votes will be
drawn from the democratic
ranks by that party to give
any such state to the repubii
cans. Theiv wi'l no doubt be
considerable talk and so ne
bluster, but when southern
white wen come to the polls
in November, and consider
that they are in reality vo
ting for or against the 'force
bill, they will be very apt to
take no risk, but cast their
ba'lots squarely for democra
cy, white rule and free elec
tions. John! get Rail's Hair Ilenewoi

Jof this week, the first day of

j ny of thes people.
A circilar was issued last
levelling from the head.piai
i ters of the Demoi rat ie X a -I
tional committea.Mressed t )
j the people of the U n i t e d
States. ItSuvs:
"With abundance of means,
w i t h subsidized ingeduity.
with a body of hired profes
sionals drilled and experienc
ed in political intimidation
and political debauchery our
opponents a re preparing a fi
nal assault upon thefn-edoni
and honesty of the ballot.
"This committee has not
troops af office-holders at its
command. It. will not agree
to sell the niture legislation
of Congress for the m o n e y
paid now into its party treas
uiy. It will not agree togive
high places in the people's ser
vice for money. We have no
resources except what the peo
pie furnish. We call f o r
means not only to spread
the truth among the people
and to aid in getting to the
polls a full, honest voteor the
masses, but also to detect,
to prosecute and to punish
crimes against the purity of
the ballot wheresoever in the
United States they are perpe
trated, and uy whomsoever
committed or directed.
"Every indication points
to the defeat of the Minneap
olis candidates and to the
triumphant election of Cleve
land and Stevenson; the pop
ulas will clearly favor t h e
democratic cause. All anxie
ty about, the State of N e w
York is allayed and she will
give her electoral vote to
our candidates. All the re
ports from the independent
and conservative sources in
other parts of the country
are exceptionally promising.
With vigilance and timely ac
tion everywhere, which, with
your aid, we pledge, honest
ballots will be polled, count
ed and declared throughout
the country, and if this is
done defeat i- not possible.
"This committee calls up
on all good citizens for aid,
which it requires for these oh
jects. It invites and will wel
come contributions from ev
ery honest man."
Asheville- Citizen: M a j o r
Charles M. Stedman tells the
Citizen that he is almost dai
ly i;i receipt of letters from
the eastern portion of North
Carolina, and they all indi
cate a gratifying improve
ment in the political situa
tion. The third party is Ri
sing strength and will contin
ue ko do so until the day of
the election. Maj. Stedman
personally is confident that
the democrats will carry the
State by t good round tn a -jority.-
fits iVfc.t Ccriih.
The battle will be decided
by Xew York and Indiana.
There should be no doubt ns
to the tv.-ult in Xew York.
The State is naturally demo
cratic. The canvass is andrr
full headway. The par y was
n-vtr more united. Tin; ma
chinery by which it is work
el was never in better hands
or iu better working order.
"In mm any is pulling as one
man, and this mean every
thing for the city, where a
full vote will be poibd. The
only thing needed to insure
success, is to get out the la
tent vote in the country, auo
this will be done.
Indiana can be easily car
ried for Cleveland. At t h e
worst the democrats h a v e
only a plurality of some over
2,000 votes to overcome.
Rut the condition of par
ties in the State has changed
since lfsSS. and the change
has been to Mr. Harrison's
disadvantage. Everwhere he
he has not only lost friends,
but he has made enemies No
where is this more true than
in Indiana. Among those
who are his most bitter ene
mies there ar? his fellow citi
zens, In 1883 the colored
vote of the State exceeded
10,000. Uy November next
it will probably reach twelve
thousand. Il a third ol this
number vote against h-m. or
even if they refrain from vo
ting, if the ratio voting is the
same iu November next as it
was in 1888, the electoral
vote of the State is" lost to
him without the assistance
of the increased democratic
vote w hich will surely be poll
ed, and if Xew York goe; a
gainst him also, his defeat is
certain.--A7. Y. Sun.
VALUABLE RECKUITS.
H. L. Jane, a well known
lawyer, of Philadelphia, and
a life long republican, repudi
ates his party and will sup
port Cleveland. Hegiveshis
explicit leasons, and is for a
"tariff for revenue only" a
constitutional tariff tax. All
over the country able and
hitherto true republicans are
trying to help elect Mr. Cleve
land. Gen. Ruins Rarriuger,
the gallant. Confederate cav
alryman, and prominent law
yer, of our State, is doing-excellent
service in behalf of re
form. He has published a
good, strong, article on the
tariff in the Charlotte Obser
ver. Our own columns are
const antly so much burdened
or we would be glad to pub
lish it in full. Then there is
Judge Albrison, of Elizabeth
City, a republican ever since
the war, who is out for Cleve
land and reform. , Maj. Guth
sie, of Durham, has also pub
lished a letter setting forth
his reasons for supporting
Cievelun i. He and Judge Al
brison are men of ability anil
good name in their former
party, as was of course the
brave Rarringer. There i s
still room and a hospitable
home in the democratic par
ty for all patriots and free
men who seek to save genu
ine republican democratic in
stitutious iu our land, a n d
bring about a healthful, need
ed, judicious, speedy reform.

sat there perhaps ten min

stifled sob. My nerves al

and I stood up and screamed
like a hysteric woman. Tho
watchers thought I had be

take me away. I was power
less to speak, and could only
point to the coffin. They did

sisted in taking me away. I
broke from them and strove
to tear off the coffin lid wittt
my fingers. They called for
help, but all the men in Rich

me back. I ripped that cof

that young lady from it and
riished mto the open air with!
her. The peopb Were too

house Rell escaped.
Sunday he was arrested
and made his escape again,
but was shot in the attempt,
the ball entering the right
side. He was again arrested
on Monday by Phil. II o 1 -land,

wasin bed nursing his wounds
but he was able to snap a
shot gun four times attheof
ficers. Fortunately it was
not loaded.
Finally Deputy Sheriff Kin

gone far they were confront

did all in his power to d i s -perse
the mob, but vas final
