About two years ago we published in a small pamph let "Si: Republican Confes sions."' nil healing evidence of the use of money by repuh lieans to carry presidential elections. The first of these was that by the late Presi dent Arthur, made at the fa mous Dorsey banquet in this city on February 11 fh, '81. In that confession Mr. Ar thur, who had been chosen Vice-President in the electing of the preceeding November, said: "I don't think we had bet ter d into the minute secrets of the campaign, so far as I know them, because I see the reporters present. The two States that we were anxious about then were Maine a n d Indiana. Well, of course, we expected to c a r r y Maine. Therefore the first business of the committee was to car ry Indiana,. That was a cheer ful (ask. La lighter Indiana was really, a democratic State, I suppose. It had al ways been put down in the book as a Sate that might be carried by '-lose and care ful and perfect organization and a great dal of Here h e m o m en t ary pa u se n f the speaker was filled in bv a cry of "Soap!" Laughter. I see the reporter here, arid there fore I will simply say that everybody showed a g r e a t deal of interest in the occa sion, and distributed tracts and political documents all through the country laugh ter. If it were not for the reporters, I would tell y o u the truth, beca use 1 know you are intimate fi iends, and de voted adherents to the r e -publican party. Speaking se riously gentlemen that Maine reverse did create a great im pression and awakened pub lic feeling, and instead of be ing o damper to our hopes it proved a gr?at aid as mat ters developed, and the gen tlemen i n New York who stood at the back of the Na tional committee responded so liberally that Mr. Dorsey with his matchless skill, cool headed and wonderful cour-. age, was able to save, not merely Indiana and through it the State of New York but the nation." This was simply an open confession that Dorsey, by buying a republican majori ty in Indiana, was able to carry the country lor aarfield and Arthur. Wanamaker h a s himself told us what he did, in a .jtatement which lie made through a friend, published or. .lannary 23rd, 1889. That is how there came to be a Manufactures' . Bureau. The Manufacturers' Bureau raised about $400,000. How some of this money was used in Indiana, Dud ley's famous letter, dated at republican headquarters,- Oc tober 24th 1888, made plain:' "Your committee will cer tainly receive from Chairman Houston the assistance nec essary to hold oirr floaters and doubtful voters and gain enough of the other kind to give Harrison and Morton 10.000 plar.ihty. "Divide the floatcis into blocks of five and put a trus t e d man with iMtvssary funds in charge of these live; and make him responsible that none get away, and that all vote our ticket.

J . M Co n m ick , C 1 1 a i r m a n , Sept. 24th, 1892. Bristol Courier. The har mtVnica is iif tune in New York. There will be no squab hie over the majority. A pub lished interview with ex-May or Win. Grace quotes thegen tleuian as saying: "While 1 believe that the nomination of a third party ticket in the city of New York would bring out a large democratic vote and consequently be favora ble to the natiotral ticket, yet seeing the opposition which is being manifested by m a n y good democrats who differ from me in opinion, I h a v e come to the conclusion that it would be better to tut no third ticket rrr the rWhlv lr. .nolt Stick. To the republicans of N. C: The MM-eiit ai ti( le puhlitdied by meagiiiist against t h e nomination of u Slate ticket, was decided oirind ; vrn ' lit after the nice-t careful study, in the interest, as I believed, of t lie republican party. Much has transpired of a political nature since the pub Mention of that article, but 1 have not seen or heard any thing to c invince me that a different policy was best. On the fontrary, many things have happened toconh'rni me in my published views, a n d while I have no personal re gVets in the matter, and no burden of conceit to bear, I do deploie the plain want of sagacity among iny party friends who have chosen to pursue a different course. It must be a son ice ol inor tification to them since they have pleased every democrat jn Xort Carolina by nomina ting M State ticket. Who would have predicted twenty yens ago that, the time iVimld ever come when the re;u,;"-'an State Com mit lev of our grand old par ty would i'o what the demo crats d--sired it to do about noiiiinaling a State tieket and prosecuting a campaign f ui Mich a thing has come to jj;l.-:s. It has remained for the clo sing years of the nineteenth cent nvy to produi e a set of politi'-al generals who would p!a y into the hands of the en my that enemy still vio lent, deinhiciatory, intoler ant and overbearing. There is not a republican in North Carolina but knows w i t h what gladness the democrats received the intelligence from Italeigh that the Republican Convention had nominated a State ticket. A great and im pending calamity for thedein ocratic party had Ueeh aver ted. Now is there any thing left which the republicans can do to ultimately save the party from the blunders which have been committed? There is one way open to lis, and that is to show that the great mass of the republicans in our State 'S'W not by t h e i r votes endorse the course o f these leaders who have pleas ed the democrats so well. By voting against the re publican State ticket, they not only prove their indepen dence of the democratic par ty b'Vt tlfey rebuke the iinpu dence contained in the pleas ure manifested by the demo crats on the receipt of news that the ticket had been nom inated; it must stand, a n d vv'll always stand that o u r position as a party is a com promising one with the dem ocracy, and dishonorable to tffe promoters of the State ticket scheme a scheme i n the sense of a bargain. In all the other Southern States the leaders have kept down a State ticket. MahVne of Virginia, Buck of Georgia, and one of the ablest republi can leaders of the South, ad vise this course, and urge the republicans to support t h e third party people. It is the duty of the repub-rrca-rr to rnrnisrr this conduct of the prouiiiteisof thisState tieket scheme, by refusing to Vote the ticket. Let U put our mark of disapproval up on it, and 1 reserve oui sef lespfct by showing that we are not republicans to please the democrats, and that we arc not to be used for their benefit. J.J.MoTT. A T'nu Ijr Tarid Micjr. The following object lesson for 'Steve Elkinsoi anyo'h er person capable ol reading is furnished by the Chicago Times: Mr. Eli-ins bought a fine fowling piee for the eldest boy just before the McKinley bill became a law. Lateron, after the pi.ssage of the bill, his other sons persuaded him to order for them in New York duplicates of the guij. The guns arrived when ihe secretary was on a stumping tour. When he returned the boys exhibited the guns with the statement they weie just like brothers.' "Yes boys," said the secre tary. "I ordered duplicates of (he first one. " After he had examined the guns one of t in boys asked: "Well, papa, where have you b?en this week, and what have you been doir.g?" "I have been to Mai tins burg, Grafton. Morgantown ami Kingwoo.l making spee ches." "What did you1 talk about?"' "The tariff." "Did you tell them the tar iff was not a tax and that the Consumer did not pay it? "Certainly." "Now, papa, if the tariff is rot a tax and if the consum er does not pay it, will y o u please explain to us what this means oil the bottom of the lull that came with th? guns?" Here the lad produced the bill, and on the bottom of it was written: "Mr. Elkms; we a re obliged to charge you $4 more for each of tlcse guns than for the first one, on account of the McKinley bill, making it The boys were still waiting for the secretary's explana tion when last heard from. A Ea'r ETcliai Old Gentleman Do y o u think, sir, that you are able to give fny daughter all the luxuries to which she 'nts been accustomed? Suitor, (a practical man) Well, you have been pacing for her board and clothes, and I have been paying for concerts, operas theaters and so on. Now, I'll pay for the board and clothes, and if you foot, the amusement bill I don't think she'll miss any thing. A Talladega county school ina'rin has introduced a new feature in her school, and one that is destined to be popu lar with the boys as well as the girls. When' one of the girls misses a word the boy who spells it gets permission to kiss her. As a result the girls are becoming very poor spellers, while the boys a r e improving; Ex. Tlif Uuljr ufthe Hour. The flection is only a few weeks off. It will be upon US hardly before we know it. Time fiies The work that re mains to be done must be done spivdily. We have no time to lose. Democrats are yon ready for the flection? Have you lone your whole duty? If so, we congratulate you, but let us warn you against over confidence. If not, go to work at once and make every day from now until the elecr tion count for Democracy You are engaged in the great est light of your lives. There Ins never been so much to do. There has never been so great a need of individual work. Democrats, are you do ing your duty? Get to work. Arouse your neighbors to the importance of this contest. The fight must be won by the rank ami file. The lead ers can't do it. It it the peo ple's fight and the people must win. The leaders may plan, but Ihe people must execute. All know the issues of the campaign. They have been thoroughly discussed by the press and speakers. The great need of the hours is not speaking, but working. Speaking does well enough in its place, but it cannot take the p'ace of individual or organized work. What h the great need of the hour? It is organization. The right can only be won by polling bin full strength. To eccomplish that end wotmist have thorough organization. We must know how every white voter stands. Person al work must be done. Gener al work will not suffice. We must go to the individual voter and lay the issues of the eaiepaigri before him; tell him the peril of the hour nd show him his duty.1 How shall this be done? Iy organ ization. We must work in concert. Every Democrat must be given his work to do. Webster's Weekly. MRS. LEisS TALKS. Chicago, Oct. 17.-The In-' ter Ocean this morning pub lishes a three column inter view with Mrs. Mary E. Lease, of Kansas, the orator and third party organizer, in which she gives her exper ience during her late trip through the , South. She thinks Gen. Wea ver did as' any one under the circum stances would. But she asserts that slm Iocs not like Weaver to try, to belittle the course of the Southerners. She says the outrages were not committed by young men and boys, but in . many instances promi nent men were leaders in the disturbance, in some cases or ganized party clubs, and that instead of one egg being thrown at them,' there were a great many eggs thrown and not by boys either. She de clared the indignities offered Gen, Weaver arid party veru not because of anything lie said, or had done, but be cause he was advocating the cause of the party that was threatening the local success' of the democratic party. She says she found sectional feel ing as "violent as ever the republicans had pictured it. She stands by her party, but' says that if a vote for Weav-i er is to elect Cleveland, i t ought not to be given'.' s 1
