Evening t'ost (Vem.y We are , authorized and requested by Judge Buxton to stite that he is in favor of employing convicts in the construction of railroads and other public works under the supervision and control, as to their government and discipline, of State ofS cers, and that he was merely opposed to farming them out to irresponsible persons who might misuse ard mistreat them. e arc also requested to state that Judge Buxton never refused the writ of habeas j corpus to any applicant while he was in office. Statements to the contrary are untrue. As jjuw- is me proper time to assign reasons why Indiana gave a Republican m. m. - 0 major y, we will suggest one or two for the benefit of our Democratic friends. To our mind the . principal reason is, the Republican candidates received more votes than their opponents, from the fact that when any effort is made and a full vote is polled there are more Repnblicans than Democrats. , Another rca on Is that the "Boys in Blue" are not willing to. surrender the affairs of this government into the hands pf the rebel Democracy. They see too many rebel brigadiers in Congress. L Another reason:- manufacturers," capi la.ists, and businesss men generally, are not willing to see a party in power Jhat will destroy our home industries by abol ishing the tariff and adopting the British principles of free trade. ; : 1 -1 Another reason: fanners, mechanics and all classes, see that the Democrats are trying to papier to the greenback craze. and they arnot willing to allow them to tinker, j wi A a currency that suits all classes except a few fanatics. 1 SALARY GRAB.

I avail myself of to-day's leisure to drop you a lew woras. i nave just conw iu this place from; a visit in every, county West of th French Broad River, ! and in passing through these conn jies and having to spend a few days in each, I interested myself in ascertaining, as far as I could, the sentiment of the people on the con gressional election. The three candi dates being Democrats, as a matter of course, I felt but little concern as; to who should be elected between them. It is, however, the case with me that I always would have a choice even in a dog fight I find that the; old time Demociats; are generally for Love, and those persons who formerly went into the Democratic party for the purpose of governing, the party for the benefit of old Whig principles, are eoinff for Vance. On their hatred to the Democratic principles, the Republi cans are for Love. Atkinson is regarded as fiirhtinsr his own party, and will not get much support His support will how ever come from the Democratic disorgan: izers, and there are a great many of them, but not sufficient to elect anybody. Love is regarded byj the "dyed in the wool" Democrats as the Democratic candidate. I find the fact of Vance and Atkinson being from Asheville to have consiaerable influence on the vote of the west The people here complain that Asheville has promised them to give rway, but they would not do it. You may look out for a rousinf? vote for Love. I say, "lay on McDuff." ! Fair Play. . ! MORG ANTON. N. C, ) , 1 October 15 th, 1880. J Editor News: I , , On Saturday the 9th, quite a crowd as sembled at the, Court House to hear the discussion between Messrs Trull ' and Gudger, Electors for this District The fame of these speakers had gone ahead of them, and eager was the crowd to hear them. : 1 j i . ' ' n " Mr. Gudger; the Democratic Elector, led off and entertained his hearers for one hour and thirty minutes with quite an able speech, giving his reasons forcibly and plainly why the people should vote for Hancock and j English, and the whole Democratic ticket, His speech was well received by his side of the house, and the wonder was with, the Republicans how we would come out, for you must remember we had never heard Mr. Trull before When Mr. Gudger's time expired, Mr. Trull arose, and such a speech it has not been my fortune to hear during this cam paign, and I have heard several on both sides. He showed clearly and to the en tire satisfaction of his hearers how per fectly untenable and flimsy were all the positions taken by his competitor ; com pared the records of the two political parties, and from thie records showed to all that honesty, economy and good government : were entirely and altogether in favor of the Republicans. ,;s manly and clear defense of the chai - niinst stock in trade of all Democratic speakers was full and complete. He described the great National and State issues and ques tions with a ; familiarity and a degree of ability that carried cousternation and sur prise into the 'Democratic ranks, and perfect thrill of enthusiasm into his Re publican friends, who felt good over the victory so well and ably won over a com petitor that, be it understood, is worthy of high praise and who. has but few superiors It won't begin to do, Mr. Editor, for cor respondents of j Democratic papers to say that Gudger is ''wearing Trull out." Re publicans are satisfied with the i result They arc both good speakers and are clever fellows, j and get along pleasantly and agreeably, as competitors should Burke county all right for Garfield and Buxton I j Burke.

'For part, I.still stick to corn as a main crop. I Your last paper was certainly full of glad tidings of great joy td every Repub lican.

I Why. is it that the Democratic Conven tions never select a farmer one who not oniy owns land, but tilis it for a livlihood- to Represent us in the Legislature. They nearly always put. forward a - lawyer, who cares for nothing but his per diem and mileage, and the passage 'of a few per sonal bills !to Dlease his friends. Ours is a farming country, and usually the repre sentative from this county toLither knows nor cares anything about j farming. We people in the woods are tired of this kind of mis representation, and are gratified to learn 'that an old, honest, .hard-working farmer has consented to take his chances in the present race. I refer to Joshua R. Jones. ! ! . 1 1 ' , True, he has always beenj looked upon as i Democrat, but he knows what we need, and will do his best to further our interests. I i have known j him 25 years, and a more reliable citizen is not to be found in the county. Brought up between plow-handles, he has always been a pro ducer, and being an industrious, frugal main, has added as much to thej material wealth of the county as most any man in it. He is thekind.of man w want in the Legislature, i We are tired of lawyers who represent nobody but themselves end their profession. ' That little nest of lawyers around the court-house have been a draw back and a curse to the county. The Re pubicans here will vote for Jones, as I hope they will all over the county. The News is gainining the good o'pin ion of the people here, i Your plain, matter-of-fact way of stating things is accep table to all.

And thev declare as ioiiows: . , .1. That they cordially approve the nom inations, I recently made at Chicago, of James 1 A. Garfield for President, and Chester A. Arthur for Vice-President and that they will most cheerfully and actively devote ti emselves to their eiec tion, as indispensable to the preservation of the Republican party, and of the lie public, in its integrity. And that they fully endorse the principles set forth in the platform, adopted-by the-Republican Convention, which convened in tbe city of Chicago 1 on the 2nd day of June,' 188. . 2. That they have seen, with ! great ap prehension and alarm, the rapid onsoIN dation and engrossment of our Railroad sS'stems, by and under the control am ownership of foreign monopolists thaf such consolidation of eapital gives power to the monopohsts.to oppress the labor of the countiy by unreasonable and ulijust local tanrts and litres, and gives to them the power to control tne legislative branch 01 government, in the passage or laws in their interest, and ruinous to those of the people; and that they have seen, with re gret, that these monopolists are making an insidious invasion among the leaders ofi the Democratic party, which culmi nated on the 17th day of June, in the en gulfing and swallowing up of the whole Democratic! State Convention; and that, while they have no desire or intention to make an uniust war upon these monopo Jies, they xlo dem md that the Legislature shall pass laws to govern and control them, so that they shall not be permitted to discriminate against our own people, and placing a reasonable limit ion local tariffs ond fares, i V I 3. That they view with anxiety the condition of the: Western North Corolina Railroad, which,; through- the hot haste and ill considered contracts or the Demo erotic State administration, is surrounded by legal troubles which afford no relief from taxation, and j threaten to delay for a long time, it not auogetner defeat, the completion of that work so necessary for the welfare and development of the State. and especially the western counties. 4. that the Republican party has ol- ways been the" friend of education, and now again renews its pledge to the ped p'lc of North Carolina to cbnttnue iis efforts with increased vigor, until there shall be a complete and perfect system of public instruction. 5. That 1 they recognize the mechnnic and laborer as the bone and sinew of the land, and pledge themselves to protect theii rights and promote their t political,1 educational, and material interests.. ; r- 6. That the recent Constitutional amend ments were passed by a convention which was not composed of a majority of elected delegates, and the control of which was stolen from the, Republican majority, by an infamous and admitted fraud on the Voters of Robeson county. This; corrup tion, on the part iof the Democracy, demonstrates the fact that their party will scruple at no violation of law in the in- terest ol party supremacy; ana : that me Democratic party is not the friend of rep resentative government or of the people.," 7. That the present system of county government in North Carolina is utterly subversive of the rights of the citizens; is the grossest political rohoery ever prac ticed in this, or any civilized country: is the most damnable fraud ever detised or sanctioned by any political party, and calls for the unqualified condemnation Eof tl who have the name of freemen, with out regard to party affiliation. .
