THE STKAIUHT-OL'T ORGAN.
For some t ime there have b3en in
dications of dissatisfaction within the
Republican ranks with the nomina
tion ot Dr. York, and the surrender,
as some old Republicans style it, of
the principles of the party by the
managers m combining with others
who are not in sympathy with those
principles. We published a few days
ago the proceedings of a meeting
which gave expression to the senti
ments of the straight out Republicans
of the mountain country, where the
Republican party, in its Coalition
make-up, hoped to secure a strong
support. It was publicly stated in
that meetins that a straight-out Re
publican ticket would be put in the
field which would meet with the en
dorsement and support of old line
Republicans. In view of this dissat
isfaction tbe managers have been
trying to harmonize, and the Repub
lican editors have been writing edito
rials appealing to the Republican
masses, white and black, to stand
together and accept the Coalition
ticket, with Dr. York at the head of
it, as the last and only hope of beat
ing the Democrats. And now comes
a voice from the east, from the sec
tion where the Republican leadeis
have mustered their dark cohorts
and led them in solid array to the
ballot box. The first bugle note of
opposition is sounded by D. McD.
Lindsay in the North Carolina Re
publican, just started at Weldon, as
an organ of the straight-out Republi
cans, who concludes his salutatory
thus :
The editor of this paper, who comes
home to North Carolina to claim the
candid ear of the true Republicans of
me ouaie. uas uvea, ior some years
pasc, at me uapitai ot the nation
where he has closely observed the
course or events and the growing
tendencies of selfish party strife. The
most anxious solicitude is felt among
the old and venerated heads of the
party, at the apparent growth of a
disposition to retrogade from the ad
vanced positions of the old partv of
equal rights; and this disposition at
the .National Capital, where represen
tative men from all the sections meet
and interchange views, is caused
mainly by the apparent inclination
of Republicans in the South to yield.
in cowardice, to circumstances, and
abandon the advanced posts of the
party. The colored people of the
South cannot be unmindful that this
great contest, for the last twenty
years, has been for all that they hold
dear and sacred. It is no friend of
theirs that would advise them to be
the first to break ground in retreat
before the enemy. While they stand
firm in defence of their risrhts as men
and as free citizens of this great re
public, there are and will be hosts of
exalted men and women in the north
ready to battle, as in days cone bv.
in behalf of their rights. But, it they
surrender to the enemy at this late
day, and coalesce at the sacrifice of
the dearest principles which have
hallowed the death struggles of the
past, how can they expect, any long
er, tnat support which struck orr the
iron shackles of slavery and made
them men and citizens.
These reflections have sprung from
the recent movement in some of the
southern States, notably in Virginia
and North Carolina, to abandon the
regular national Republican organi
zation, or, at least, to ignore its cardi
nal principles, in order to form coa
litions with dissatisfied or disappoint
ed fragments of the Democratic par
ty. Coalitions are sometimes wise
and proper, as measures of tempora
ry expeuiency in popular elections;
but, in such movements, one point
must be always borne in mind. If they
require the sacrifice of fundamental
principles, or even the ianorina of
carainai aoctnnes, or the abandon
ment of popular rights, they should
oe avoided and spurned, as the voice
of the tempter and the seductions of
the "evil one." They then mean only
treachery and deceit.
Advised by earnest and far-seeing
friends of equal rights, the editor of
the Civil Rights Advocate has return
ed to North Carolina to publish this
journal, and to make it a permanent
reminder and supporter of those
great principles of humanity and jus
tice upon which the slaves were set
free and made citizens, and especial
ly, to oppose any retrogade mow
ment by which the advanced ground
already won shall be abandoned to
the enemy.
What influence D. Mc.D. Lindsay
may have among the colored voters
of the east we do not know, but the
fact that he has decided to begin the
publication of a paper in advocacy
of opposition to Coalition, indicates
that he has met with encouragement,
at all events, taken in connection with
the Asheville demonstration it is evi
dence that the Coalition managers
are not meeting with as smooth sail
ing as they anticipated.
The heaviest single strawberry
shipment ever made in the South
was made on Monday in Chattanoo
ga, Tenn. The number shipped was
1,600 crates, and the following day it
wa3 expected that fully 2,000 crates
would be shipped.
Fred Grant showed undue famili
arity with the "old man" when he
worked Jbim in the coloquy of foos
with himself and the other boys.r
U. S. Grant, Jr., must have been
sott snap. 1 red Ward not only got
away with him, but keely roped him
in for 5,000 shares in the motor
which will not mote.
The Raleigh Chronicle says that
one of the blessings the poor enjoy is
that they do not get mashed up in
these Wall street busts. That's what
makes the average newspaper men so
happy.
Gen. Sherman warns the Republi
cans not to rely for success upon
Democratic divisions. He says: "I
have known them for years and nev
er but once in a Presidential fight
were they divided, and then two
corvei.tions were held. They will
be solid this fall."
Some of the French gii Is have got
to lighting themselves up with elec
tric lights, which sparkle on their
bosoms, from ornaments in the hair,
pendents in the ears, etc., supplied by
little buttons carried stored away in
their clothes. The boys had better be
careful how they fool around those
batteries.
Some cf the Republican organs have
discovered since Dr. York's nomina
tion that he is not only a man of
ceiessal proportions physically, but
tnat mentally he's a whale, so to
speak. Considering his gigantic pro
portions it is strange they did not dis
cover him sooner.

Kentucky State Journal,
The other day Gen. King White, of
Pine Bluff, while walking along the
street met a negro boy wearing a
shirt which was suspiciously like
garments owned by himself. "Look

" A u nt Cy nda. " ' "She does my wash
