Governor Jarvis was enthusiastically received at Greensboro on bis way to Asheboro. Guilford has, in the person of an as« plrant for legislative honors, one of the ihost persistent candidates that has ever come within tbe range of our notice. Tbe dbernian says that North Car. oliaa may be set-down for twenty thous and majority for Hancock, Jarvis and honest economy. Our Brother Bradshaw, of the Courier has beeu nominated for the House of Representatives by the Democrats of Randolph county. Success to him. There is a Hancock Club in Burke County, composed of over ono hundred men who have never voted the Demo cratic ticket, and all under the leader, ship of a vote ran Republican. The Randolph Democracy had a big rally at Asbeboro on the 31st ult. Gov ernor Jarvis and F. H. Buabee were present and addressed the people. About two thoasand people were present and listoned to the speeches. Republican hopes of Democratic dis sensions in New York, have been scat tered to tbe winds. The Tammany elec toral tioket haa been withdrawn, and now a state convention in which both branches of the party will unite and har monize, U to be held in Saratogo on the 28th of this month. The party is unit ed and determined on suocess, and will carry the State for Hancock and English by an overwhelming majority. ■new HI (Ullea Observer.) The Republican party his been in power five terms —twenty years. Dais log that time k has had charge of the books. Folly one-half the men intrusted with responsibility daring fifteen years are known of the people to bare been ve nal and corrupt. The naval secretary stole whole millions outright; the war secretary took bribes; the Vioe-Preeidents ot two administrations were slothed with shame; the interior secretary Delano sold posfc-tradurshipe; and Ctarfald, who "earned the parse of the nation," as Crittenden phrased it, was a bribe taker and petjarer. What we want now is s chance to look at the books, ll'lm Wirj'i> i«o Durham N. C-, sold in ttr> lavs, Oth (incl 111}., 1703 lot* of tobacco, at griefs goju-rallv Patisfactofy to tlie farmers. Ri-roomW KcanaJbejt^M CJUM'V CONVENTION* At an early hour last" Saturday, (lie Democtaiic citizens of Alamance C'ouuty beguu to arrive in town, until «t noon there were a large number of the solid men of Alainanc" in attendance. At twelve o'clock, the meeting was called to order by Capt. fames A. Gra ham, Chairman of the County Executive Committee, who nominated J. I. White of Melville Township for chairman. Mr. White was elected and took his seat after first thanking the convention for the honor bestowed upon him. T. B. Eldridge and W. B. Sellarr were elected Secretaries.

The following resolutions were offered by Capt. J*s. A. Graham and were unau* i'mously adopted; Resolved, Thai we heartily endorse the platform adopted by the National Democratic Party at their Convention in Cincinnati and believe that iu the nominees there put forward we have good and true meu whose election will be an honor to the party and will give us ir.ie and good government. Resolved, That w« folly approve the nomina - tlon of Thsmas J. Jarvis for ioveruor and the rest of the democratic Stnte ticket and will give them our full strength. Resolved, That we cordially endorse tbe ac tion of our fellow Democrats, of iuilford in placing in nomination as their n an for Senator from this district, Col John N. Staples and piomise that we will staud by him faithfully and hope to shake hands with them over a g and Democratic victory. After the close of basines*, the candi dates were called out and responded, thanking the convention for their nomi nation, I)r. Meb&ue speaking at length. Col. John N. Staples, candidate for State Senator made an excellent speech in regard to both national and state pol itics. For the want of spsce, we are un der the necessity of dismissing it without further notioe. He made a good impres sion and will receive a large vote in this county. Gen. Leach then followed in a speech in bis own inimitable style; but for che want of time, he had to be brief. This was by far the largest and most enthusiastic Democratic meeting held in Alamance for many jtars. A Great Battle la Oki*Aa4 ladtiaaa. N*w YORK, August 81.—The news paper readers aud visiting politicians bavo heard much of what Chairman Jew ell was doing aud what he iuteuded to do; but there has been little heard in any public quarter of Chairmau Barnum's operations or if his plau of battle. Chair* mau Jewell loves display, loves to talk and loves to be the central figure ot a na i tional contest. Chairmau Baruum is seldom before the public; he goes and comes iu the quietest way; he says little lor tbe world, but he works nuoeasiugly visits every important poiut personally, judges oi the situation for himself, aud employs his resouroes iu the most busi ness like mauuer. lie was in ludiaua soon after Jewell was„there, but every body read of Jeael every day, while Barnum's presence In the State was un* heralded. He saw William 11. English, said what be had to say, aud returned to Mew York. BARMOSI'S BILEMCK AMD IHRFFICIENCT. Mauy hare interpreted his silence and absence of display iu the contest thus far ss evidence of inefficiency aud want of a bold aud agressive policy. Undoubtedly tbe Republicans have couoe to regard it as indicating a want of confidence in lu diaua and a want of resources to meet party necessities. I do uot assume to speak by authority of Chairman Barnam, fur I hive not conferred with hiiu on ttie subject, but I feel warranted iu tbe be» BAkNVlll'S STRATEGY. (Philadelphia Times.) lief lliat I have obtained correct informs lion in regard lo tl is campaign jralicy, and (hat future developments wiH4ully sustain my predictions. THK MAINE BATTLE HOPELESS. Mr. Barnum has done ten times fhe amount at' wofk lor Hancock that Mr. Jewell has done for Mr. Garfield, and he has done it wisely and Ihorougly. IJe never took any 6tock in the Maine con test ; he has not been in the State and has not wasted any money on that dead horse. The fusionists of Maine raised $30,000 themselves, and tliey, have paiJ their own expenses. The National Com mittee hive furnished speakers tor but nothing elso and any Republican majority from 5,000 to 10,000 there will be no disappointment. There jis not a Fusion candidate tor Congress ia Maine who, it elected, would vote with the Democrats to organize the House. NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY CONNECTICUT. New York, New Jersey and ConuectU cut have bad the most fcystematic and thorough work dono in them, as may now be api reciatcd by the assured union of the Tihlen and Kelly forces in New York, the nomination of English in Con necticut, and llie withdrawel of Abbett in New Jersey; and if organization, cans vassing and the appliances common in desperate elections can carry them for Hancock, it will be done. Barnum res gardi New York and New Jersey as safe in any contingency, aud he is quite confident of Connecticut. A DESrEKATE CHARGE ON OHIO AND IN% INDIA. But Barnum has worked most where he has been least eocii and is least felt by the Republicans. He went to Ohio and India a month ago. laid the grounds for the most complete organization of both Stales, and he will open tlie mo6t aggressive campaign 3 there about thirty days before the October election. The The preliminary wcrk has been most effectively but quietly done, and, instead of concentrating on Indiana, he will compel the Republicans to make a dess pe»;a'.e and costly struggle to save Ohio. •WHY OHIO IS DOUBTFUL. Barnum is in Ohio now, and hns been there for three days, although it has not been publicly announced, and he it there on business. He is luliy pali-fied that Oliio is a doubtlul State with Uar» field, and he will startle the Republican leaders by his bold and hopefu' efforts to carry it. He now feels certain of both the Cincinnati districts, and as Cincint nati has carried the State in every close contest since 1875, he regards it as fairly dcbateablCt and lie will throw his best speakers and his hitherto well husband ed means equally into Ohio and Indiana for a thirty day fight. The loss of Ohio to Garfield in October, or a nominal Re publican majority there lor the Stale ticket, would in his judgement, carry New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Wiscon sin, California and Oregon, without cost ly campaigns and by large majorities. You may rely upon the statement that before the middle of September the He' publican leaders will understand what Barnum has been doing, and they will be \more earnest iu their defcusive campaign Jin Ohio than in their aggressive cam paign in Indiana. THE BATTLE OF INDIANA. Barnuna's theory about Indiana is that it is naturally a Democratic State and that the Democrats need only to summon their strength on the limine stretch to carry it by a decided majority. He has been theie and English is iu perlect ac cord with Darnum's policy to have every voter canvassed, the local organizations for holding and pol ing (heir vote thor ouglily perfected, supply them with documents and devote the last thirty days of the contest to the boldest ag gressive operations. The Republicans have been running a shouting and cost ly campaign iu Indiana for a full monlh and when Barnum and English shall he ready to advance their whole lino at once, the resources ot the Republicans will be largely exhausted,and,with defi ant assaults made simultaneously in Ohio and Indiana, they will be equal to the struggle. Barnum has not a doubt about Indiana, as he has regarded it as merely a matter of organization, eflort and mon ey. English has the moi.ey to ofiset the double assessments upon federal office holders for Indiana, and he will spend it because he must spend it or allow the Res publicans to buy the Stale away -from him. Up to this time the Democrats have not spent one dollar in Indiana to ten spent Ujr the Republicans, but alter the middle of September the Democrats will have more to spei.d than the Repub licans and Barnaul and English will see that it goes where "it will do the most good." They both believe in speudiug mo tie) only once in eleetiins, while the Republicans will be compelled to do their work and make aud pay their con tracts over *gain, alter their treasury aud their parades hare been well ex hausted. My information on these points is'from the most reliable sources, and you may confidently look for Barnuin,B strategy to develop as I foreshadowed it. Ohio will be as oiucb a battle ground in Oc tober as Indiana, aud the ilepublicaus will be compelled to defend iheir su premacy there as much as the Democrats wilt b« compelled todeie.id their snprems a«y lu Indiana. LfinO TACTICS. (Naw York Truth, Independent.) For many months past Republican journals throughout the country have teemed with quotations from an obscure paper published in Mississippi, called the Okolorta State. Its utterances reek ed wiln ribaldry and treason. It advo cated the most pernicious doctrines and filled its columns with insults to the Uuion aud the pcop'.e. Extiacts from this paper wcie everywhere beral'led by (ho Republican [tress as an expression of llie real leelins and sentiments ex istent a( the south, and doubtless con tributed no little toward spreading - such erroneous belief among (ho Northern pnblic. During a long period (he palicnt in habitants of Okolona and its vicinity wefts content to view its editor as a harmless but amusing idiot, little dream ing that liis absurdities would ever peiic etrate beyond the little circle in which they were i&ughed a. In lime however and that very recently, they learned bet ter—learned how systematically and in famously Ihey had been misrepresented and insulted-learned how they were coming lo be regarded as a desperate gang of parlizan cut-throats, instead of a body ol peaceable farmers aR they were. They commenced to inquire into the per sonality of this red-hot editor, who lie v vas aud whore he caine from, and soon found out that he was a Northern inis port&iion, with a very hazy history. In their righteous indignation they rose, and it was not many days before he was making the fastest tune on record across the Ohio River. Since then the Oio.'o na State has been dumb. The most prominent among (he wes tern newspapers which had given wide spread publicity to the Okolona editor's infamous insults was that staundh lie publican journal the Chicago Tribune; and strangely enough, when the fleeing editor landed it was in his sanctum* where he has since been engaged as a member of its staff. Now, the inference is unavoidable (hat this red-handed rebel, who wanted to use the Aruericin flag as a front dior inat, shoot every negro and, lynch every while man who voted the Republican ticket, refuse to pay taxes, and re-estab lish the Confederacy, wiih salntiy Jell Davis as its Chief Executive, was alter all, only a paid Republican spy, in the service of some of the unscrupulous man agers of that party. Nor is this the only case. A few years ago an almost similar instance occurred in one of the parishes of Louisiana. In fact this sort of thing seems to be a part of the Republican tactics, and doubtless the entire South is now being stufled full ol just such mendacious Bohemians in structed 10 misinterpret and misrepre sent speeches made in the South by its prominent leaders to the same extent that Wade Hampton's silly vaporings were recently tortured at Staunton, Va. There can be no longer any doubt that the Republican leaders' stock in trade will be largely made up of just such man ufactured evidence. The bloody shirt is the only standard they can carry into the contest; and as the Southern people re-> fuse to wave it, hired scoundrels will be 6ent in their midst to wave it for them. In encountering lliis desperate mode of warfare, thinking people should reci ollect that whatever the Southern people may be they are not absolute tools nor stone bliud to their own interests. After their bitter lesson of fifteen 3 ears ago, they naturally have 110 desire to repeat it. The doctrine ot secession is dead with them to-day as the Alien and Se dition law of John Adams is with the tropic of the North. If any one tells them that Hancock fought for the same principles that Lee and Jackson fought lor, they will set him down as a liar* All tho money in John would not induce thein lo conseuTrvWio re'establishmeni of slavery even were it possible, which it is not. They raise the staples cheaper and are making more money in one year with Ihe new labor BVBtem than they ever did In two years under the old. Hancock la /-.u Olirc Brauchi [St. Louis Republican.] Hon. Robert Rhodes, a prominent lawyer and heretofore a prominent Re* publican of Bowling Green, Kentucky, writes to a personal friend in this city: '•For a while after Garfield's nomina" (ion 1 thought 1 might vote for him, but on further consideration I conclu tied to vote lor Hancock. The 'bloody shirt' affair has been carried far enough, but 1 see from Stora's speech ,it has become again the staple of another campaign. It must result in ill effects, unless counter acted, to Northern as well as Southern peop'e. So far as 1 know it is supreme-* ly unjust, and I here is too much danger in sowing snch seeds of discord for any one to view it with indifference. Then there is that reversal ot the will of the people and Ihe audacious fraud per. pet rated in Hayes' selectiou. If there is a fundamental maxim in our institu tions as prominent as any other it is 'absolute acquiesence in tho will of the l>eople.' To subvert this principle is to overthrow Republican Government. Garfield is too prominent en actor in tbis aflair to pass him bv There aro many other considerations lo be given iu this eanvaßs, but these alone are sufficient. Hancock is an olive brancb, and as such I accept bira." The reasons assigned by Mr. Rhodes aro pointed and true, and we have 110 doubt that many oilier prominent Re publicans will before the Ist of Novctn* ber next) relate similar cuorictious. run HII unsu'i BRICK WAREHOUSE, ' ■- ■ • t ■■■>■ " ■- " DURHAM, 3TF.
