Tho third term boom is dead bevond
the shadow of ft possibility of resur
rection. , .
Garfield was once ft Methodist preach
er. Now be is the bloody shirt candidate
for the ycMklenoy-
The Grant man stuck to their man to
the but. They mimed the pleasure of
Toting for bim through a whole week, as
ttaey said they would do.
Grant wfirnow hajre leisure to go ofl
OR another tour. Tbii time it will be an
extended trip np Salt River. Garfield
will follow ki November.
Tbe Raleigh Observer editorially sug
gests Col. Thomas M. Holt M a delegate
at huge to tbe Cincinnati Conyoution.
We don't object to tbe proposition; bot
Alamance County wants him tor Lieut.
Governor.
Mr. James A. Garfield helped himself
right considerably when ha bad stock in
tbe Credit MobUier. Ha is quite vulner
able en this point—he loved- the "filthy
lucre" and was net vet^. Scrupulous as to
how be got it.
It is the duty of every good Democrat
who can do so, te attend tbe State Con
vention. A great and important contest
fe before at. It is essential that the
candidates to be nominated, be men who
ean command the heartiest support of
the people. Every Democrat is interests
ad in making a proper selection.
The recent ftision of the Democrats
and Greenbackers In Maine, has bad the
affoot of briuging that State iuto the
doubtful list. Before tbe nomination
was made at Chicago, tbe Boston Herald
said"lf Mr. Blaice does not win at
Chicago, Maine will be one of the most
thoroughly canvassed, the most closely
fought; and the most doubtful State in
tbe Union," /
It was amusing to see the expression
eu tbe fkcea of our Republican friends,
whoa the first intelligence ot tbe Chicago
nomination was received. They were all
tor Grant, and telt confident that their
man could sweep the ooavention, the
State of North Carolina, and tbe whole
country , W they were disappointed iu
the first instance. They are recovering
a little how, and are inclined to the opin
ion Ihat Garfield will do for a candidate
but tbelr enthnsiasm is gone, and their
bepes ol carrying this State have vanish
ed*
Two sandidates were nom
inated last week, both in Chicago, and
both Otto man. James A. Garfield the
Republican candidate commenced lift as
a aiule driver on a canal. He worked
hia way op to the position he now ooou
pies by hie own unaided exertions. He
is, at present, the leadtr of his party in
l|»e national House of Representatives.
He wae elected last Winter, to succeed
Hon. Allen O. Tbnrman in the Senate.
He is one of the bitterest enemies of the
Booth* and is preemminently distin
guished for his extreme sectional preju
dices. He is regarded as a stronger oan
didate at the North and a wea ker one at
thtf &tath than Great. Ik is almost cer.
tein that he cannot oarry a single South
era State.
Mr. Wearer the candidate of -the
Greenback party, though a native of
Ohio, Is a eitiaeft of lowa, and now rep*
resents a district of that state in Oon-,
grass. 1 He is eae oi the most prominent
inflationists lit the eoantry. Ha will
notaflsct the result of the election to a
BirvSLICiN PLATFORn.
The Republican party sabmlis the fol
lowing statement of its administration of
tbsc sat tonal government daring the
sptftiPOi twenty years: >
It suppressed a rebellion which had
adhed nearly a SofiliOn SNu to subvert
tbO Nstlomal authority. it reconstruct
ed tM union of the States with freedom
instead oi slavery as Its corner stone, It
trsnsibribed 4,000,000 of buman beings

citissns. It relieved Congress ot iufa>
inous work.of hunting tognive slaves and
charged It'Cb see that slsvery does not
exist. It hss raised the vaioe ot ber pa*
per eortener from 88 per oent to the
par of gold. It has restored upon a solid
basis payment in eeiu tor all the national
obligation*, and has given us a currency
abfOMtitly good and equal in every part
ofOftrftxteuded country. It has Jilted
th* credit of the nation trorn the point
where « per cent, bonds told at 86c., to
to that Where the four per cent, bond ere

-ot the public debt, and by refunding
the balance at lower rates has reduced
The"fnfftuil! lirrereet crtafge from nearly
$151,000,000 to ksa than 89,000.000. All
the industries of the country have reviv
ed, labor is iu demand, wages have in
creased and, and throughout the entire
country there is evidence .of a coming
prosperity greater thau wo hivo ever
enjoyed.
We have not spaco for the platform
adopted, but we giye the following syns
jpsis of its coutents. It affirms that the
works ot the last twenty one years should
commeud it to the public; that the Union
should be perpetual; that the liberties
secured to this generation, should be
transmitted undiminished to posterity;
that the pensions promised should be
paid in full, and that industry should be
promoted and commerce encouraged.
It declares the Constitution to bo the
supreme law, and that coufiicts ot Na
tional and Stato rights should be decided
by National tribunals. It favors tho Na-
tionaljgovernment aiding the States in
the works of education, It recommends
that the Constitution be ampndedsoasto
prohibit tho States from favoring secta"*
nanism in religion, especially- as to the
appropriation of public money to secta*
rian schools. It favors the protective
tarifl, and opposes granting public lands
to corporations. It declares its enmity
to polygamy in the Territories, and as
serts tliut Americans by adoptiou as well
as by birth, should every whor# be ac
corded tho same protection. It recom
mends to Congress, the exercise of its
powers, to restrain and limit Chinese
immigration. It compliments President
Hayes lor the purity of his admini&tra
tion.
it charges Ihe Democratic party with
all imaginable fraud, corruption and ras«.
oaliiy; (he suppressing of the freedom ol
suflrage: the Beating ot unlawfully elec
ted members of Congress: tbe attaching
of partizan legislation to appropriation
bills; the endeavor to obliterate the sa
cred memories of tbe war, and overcome
its results of nationality, personal free
dom and individual equality.
It affirms that the Solid South must
be divided by the peaceful agencies ot
the ballot, and that to secute this
end, the honest voter voter must be pro
tected against terrorism, violence or
fraud; and adopts the declaration ot
President Hayes, that Civil Service re
form shall be thorough, radical aud com
plete. \

Judge Tourgee atteuded the Chicago
Convention, His object in going there
may be gathered from tbe extract ap
pended below, which is clipped from the
Chicago Tribune. He got into a discus
eiou with an anti-Graut delegate from
Pennsylvania and vanquished hhn, to the
great delight of some Floridians. The
following soene then ensued:
"When the latter retired the Floridians
asked the name of the champiou ot Uieir
cause, and when he annuunced himseli
as Tourgee, tbe ambor of *A Fool's Er-
I rand,' they closed around biin and gave
him quite an ovation. While this was in
progress a tall and lank New- EngUnder,
who had observed the whole perforin*
ance, stepped forward, placed one hand
gently upon the author's shoulder, and
asked: 'And so you've come up here to
help elect Geu. Grunt, have you?' Mr.
Tourgee smllod and acknowledged that
anything he oould do to promote that
object bo certainly would do. 'And 1
suppose you'll write a book all about it?'
the New Englauderqueried. Mr. Tour
gee looked puzzled aud answered: 'Well,
no, I did'utinteud to, but why?* 'Oh!
wolf, nothing,' thq lauk man responded
iu u calm, measured drawl. 'I was only
thinking that if you did Write a book on
it, tho uame of the other book would stilt
tlie new one to a dot; that's all.' The
crowd caught the point on the instant,.
aud ths New Englander walked attet* bis
Philadelphia ally with a.quiet smile play
ing upon his thiu, firm lips, while the
bystanders roared with laughter."
The following Is an extract from a let
ter written by Prof. Alex. McjVer, prin
cipal of the Greensboro Graded School,
and one ot the most capable aud distin
guished educators of our State. Parents
aud all, confiderlt caretully:
Education is an element iu our civili
zation which wo cannot aflord to neglect.
An educated people are every where the
world over au industrious, thrifty, pros
perous people. It we intend that North
Carolinians of the next generation shall
stand on an equal tooting aud enjoy equal
advantages with citisens ef other States
we most eduoato the children of to-day,
and we must educate them in our public
schools. This should not be made a ques
tion of dollars and eents; it is rather a
matter of duty, of State pride, and ot pa
triotism. > -

flarltM,
(Atlanta Cunatitutioih)
OrClie9ter A. Arthur, who was uomi
it a led at Chicago as a candidate for the
Vice-.Presidency upon the Republican
ticket, little is known 'in this latitude.
His uaine strikes most of the people, ir
respective of party, as that of a wholly
uukuowu and understood man in our
national politics. The Republicans ac
sept bun upon tbe faith ot the conven
tions endorssfneut, and are ready to vote
him 4 'horus and all," so to speak.
We learn that Mr. Arthur is a New
Tork man, about fitly years of age, ge
nial and popular in manners, and pos
sessed of a personal magnetism which
makes him a favorite iu both social aud
pnblic lite, tie is by no means a pauper
iu this world's goods aud is not illiberal
in the nse of his means when he has per
sonal euds to attain.
As a politician he Is a I borough "ma
cbinest." Under the patronage aud to-,
telege of Conkiing and other eminent
itenublicaus of New York he has come
to be recognized as one of tbe best ot
bulldozers and methodical of organis
ers.. It is said that be knows the poHti
cal complexion of every sohool-district in
New York tiiato aud,having been chosen
to bold that State steady in the Republi*
can column, will leave nothing undone
to carry it for bis tioket. ' -
Whether or ndi be has figured in the
New York Legislature we are now in
doubt. Our ujeuiory suggests that he
has, but iu what capacity or to what pur
pose we cannot now state. •
1 lie was collector of ibe port oi Now
