bay, b-w to bow. Cheer after cheer
rose from the deck of the Starin, al
though it wan yet impos&ible to dis
tinguish Mr. Blaine from among the
2,000 that stood on the decks of the
huge steamer. As the vessels neared
each other Mr. Blaine's form was at
last made out, standing in a group of
friends on the upper deck forward.
As cheer after cheer arose, Mr. Blaine
bowed repeatedly.
The Chicago Blaine Club's little
tug had been the first to greet ; the
steamer as it came up , the bay and
clung under its wing while the Chi
cago men cheered.
The band on the Starin played
''Home Again,'' "Home, Sweet Home "
and "The Star-Spangled Banner,"
while advancing up to quarantine.
Mr. Blaine's face and farm were
plainly visible, cheer after cheer broke
forth, handkerchiefs and flags were
waved. Cries of "Blaine, Blaine,

What issues are involved? On the
one hand wanton extravagance, cor

the fundamental principles thereof,
as conceived by our forefathers.

Farmers should prepare to use
some substitute for the kind'of bag
ging they ha heretofore used for'
balin cotton. The syndioate or
monopoly or trust formed at the
North and West to advance the prioe
of bagging should not be submitted
to. Home merchants, of course, are
not to blame in the matter, for they
cannot help themselves or do any
thing to relievo the burden from the
farmer. If Congress had courage
enough, and the will, something could
be done to prevent suoh outrageous
monopolies. Charlotte Democrat.

It is both amusing and disgusting
to read Republican papers and hear
Republican politicians charging the
Demoorats with free trade, when it is
certain that many of them are
ignorant of the principle involved,
and the consequences that would
flow from the adoption of the policy.
We do not charge that thia ignorance
is confined to Republicans but there
are Democrats who class the charge
of favoring free trado with that of
disloyalty to the government and re
sent both silk's. As we understand
the old Jeffersonian Democratic doc
trine it was that no more taxes should
be levied upon the people, in any
form, than are necessary to meet
the expenses of the government.

a Republican elector aince.
To the disaster of himself and
friends he answered the call. Never
did knight to conflict go more hope
ful and confident than Mr. Stray horn
ws as he marched down the aisle
with several North American Reviews
to demolish the gifted son of the Cape
Fear. Alas! He attacked Gibraltar
with a toy-gun, and that too in the
hands of a shallow, ignorant man.
Repor's came forth concerning the
Cooden Club and a uegro in jail here,
Cleveland and John Woody, the sur
plus and the appointment of magis
trates, &c., tc, though in the begin
ning of his effort he said he would
not discuss county or State politics.
In the midst of his disconnected as
sertions, the ladies retired.
A most remarkable part of his
failure was the frequency of
"There's no question about that."
As a political speech it was without ar
gument, enthusiasm or any redeeming
merit; as a statement of history, it
was without facts; as a literary pro
duction, an utter failure. His friends
were disappointed, his cause was
weakened, and "there's no question
about that."
He asserted that the taxable prop
erty of North Carolina amounted to
only four millions of dollars, and ap
pealed to CoL Waddell for sanction,
but finallj for the take of argument
he granted that it migh be one hun
dred millions 1
Finally he took h s seat, a most dis
agreeable one, and then for a few
moments, amid the greatest cheering,
the gallant Colonel suggested a few
corrections in Mr. Strayhorn's course,
and gave him some fatherly advice.
The crowd went wild with laughter
and applause except Mr. S. he did
not'laughr-and si he sat on a table
with his face crimson, and a false
smile vainly trying to reach his coun
tenance, while CoL Waddell was ad
waa ncn bevoiiu umwv.
The boys say that old Bob, a high
toned Republican of color, remarked
that he could "beat Mr. S- speaking."
The remainder of the, .afternoon
was spent by the Democrats in re-
i die in jr. and bv the Republicans in
t e .- - ,
aa appropriate manner.
With Brower ostracised, and Stray
horn so successful a failure, you can
easily guess that the Republicans are
somewhat disgruntled in' this,; the
fifth district, and if the Democrats do
not redeem the district we predict
that the fault will not be with Person
county. Respectfully, Echo.,
