While -comparatively- a young man, the good people of this community have, at the ballot box, ex pressed their confidence in and re spect for him in such a manner that it is a part of the history; of the-conu-ty, it was during bis term as Leg islator that the county of; Durham was erected in the face of strong and well organized opposition; and he too, was mainly instrumental in having the legislature pass the act that es tablished our Graded School'. We mention only these two, among his many worthy acts as a Legislator. With such a record, the Plant is proud ol its founder and is satisfied that there are yet other and greater honors awaiting him; and though he may dismocnt the tripod he will no. give up the place he ljolds in the hearts of the people of the county of Ddrham. It. is the wish' of the rresent man agement of the i Plax,t; to so conduct it that Mr. Green will ever feel proud of his quondam protege, and to enable it to maintain in the estimation of its patrons that position to which Mr. Green has exalted it. . THE THIRD PARTY. One. of the first things that attracted onr attention after reaching Durham was the statement that the "third party"'' idea was gaining ground and that here in Durham the third party, with One plank in its platform-5-Pro-hibition vould find comfort and friendly encouragement. Viewed frOsi three standpoints we are opposed to tha Third Party., j 1st From the standpoint of a Prohibitionist. If those who advocate,"-or entertain a thought of, .the third party, do se simply because they think it will ad vance the cause of - Prohibition we beg them to give attention for a mo ment to what we shall say. We believe that Prohibition will come sooner or later. That it will "nev er come to stay until the people are ready to for it, we are certain. The idea that' it. iuvolves liberty arid cur tails privileges is5, one that,, whether sound or not, is deep seated and fon dly cherished. . Abuse cannot shake it. Will it be best then for Prohibi tion, regarding tor the present noth ing elseto agitate it now as a strict political issue ?' We cannot think it will.- Such an agitation will estrange, probably forever, many of its friends, who have by many years of toil and hardships and by reason of many great achievements.become thorough ly attached to the Democratic or Re publican party. Whethe-iHff right or sensible for a man to love anything but Prohibition is not the question, remember that. The question is, will it advance the interests of Prohibition to make it a political is&ue now? To those who think of affiliating with the third party for that purpose alone, we say be sure to consider well, in all its bearings, the movement, and look closely at those who! suggest "third party" and find out if they are as moral, ag patriotic, and as much disin terested as you are. It may be some of the leaders of the movement have been, disappointed, it may be some of tliB leaders are working for selt ' It may be they desire tp use the Piohi bitionists simply -; toturii the grind stone. Discussions and. elections in May and June of .each j'ear under our Local Option Acts, when the political bitterness of each campaign has died out, when men are more tractable on side issues, whea we can be allowed to consider Prohibition solely as a great moral question, i9 we believe the way by which to get Prohibition more speedily than : any othfr. This seems to be true: By calm discus sion and by dissemination of Prohibi tion literature, the majority of the people will be more easily brought to make 'the decision in favor of Pro hibition, and wheTu ripe for the victo--ry the victory will cohie and the suc cess will be lasting., - The third party will not accomplish this. The prejudices of a life time can not be uproQted in one brief summer. For those who advocate.a third party for selfish reasons we have a different kind of talk, but we have not time just now to give it They will hear from us again. i r Second, we are opposed to the thfrd party because we are a Democrat We frequently hear it asked "why don't you Democrats do like the Re publicans ? -Some of the strongest Republicans in the State are Prohibi tionists, and they favor the third par- They do, do they? v Well, we .Bappote so. ' They know, their been beaten at the polls i , m r Mr. GrD 1 w T thing talose, so they piously wmV to the front ancr say, : "jet's bave. a-prohibition party," we can never da anything till we have a party. Why don't some of you Democrats leave the old party and help us?" . 'Ah! that's just it; ' If they can get enough to leave the old party and help them, the "grand old party of moral, ideas". will step into power and the State government will be in the hands of our etemies. Yep.Democrats, our old enemy confronts us. He dis bands his soldiers, they stay no longer in his great. army fioce the commis--$ary dejxirlnietti has been taken away. They must needs have tffice.- The name "Republican" has become" a name of re proaVh. So the leaders mask their batteriesJdraw down their old Hag, and with placid countenance, but heart beating high with hope, with pious brow but with eyes rolling in anxious greed, send forward a flag of trace and cause the herald to eay "Let's be. friend?, and fight together to rid the country- of this accun ed evil'' And as the noncommissioned officers of the other great army weep and hesitate, a grin of devilish de light plays around the herald's mouth and his heart whispers "we ara fooling them." Friends, say no at once. Turn at once to your own party, and let the third party melt away in the warm, earnest work of. the, coming campaign. i Third, We are opposed to the third party because we aro a citizen dl North Carolina and love our btate What does the third party offer? It's platf-rm promises one thing only : We it'ill icijH out whiskxy. Who stand upon the platform ? Men who have been successful politicians? No. Men who are statesmen ? No. Who are they ? Some of them are North ern men who know little about us,and care less. Some of them are decrepit political war hoxses. Some of them are. shrewd; Republicans. What a Set of leaders! What do they prom ike? To get rid. of; whisky, Wei), admit that tuey will el:ct a dry set oi qfficers, that the legislature will be dry, the juicdiary will be dry. What good will it dor? Suppose all the leg islators are this year elected upon the third party platform with nothing elBe inquired into. How can that help us as a citizen of the State ? They will go to Raleigh, cold sober, perhaps, and be fore ihe session is ovtr.be split all to pieces over the . vexed questions that ariee. How can the simple cry of Water ! "Water ! appoint proper mag istrate", levy just and equable taxee, provide- for penal and charitable insti tutes and take care of the great agri cultural interests? A third party man comes to us and asks us 'to vote his ticket We as a citizen dc-irous of doing the best for the State, in quire: "How is your candidate on County Government ?" "He is dry." 'How is your candidate on the ques tion of working the roads by taxa tion ?" "He is dry." "How is he oh public schools ?'' "He is dry.'' "How is he on railroads and other internal improvements ?" "He is dry." The party is silent on all theee great ques tions: Schools, R'iads, County Gov ernment Internal Improvements. -As a vo'ter, looking lor a party to administer the government under which we live, we should certainly ;pass by the third party, for wean't tell what is to be done in the State. All we can find out is that We are to have "no whiskey." When the new party offers a better system of county government than we have, when it of fers a better system of schools than we have, when it' shows a greater de sire to build up the State then we democrats now exemplify, when it can give assurance that the taxes will be as low as they now are, than we may join it and work for it. As it is we' cannot see that -any 'interest qf the State can be advanced by the third party this ye. r." Thk Statesville Landmark says: "Mr. Linney denies that he has left the Democratic ' Party, but says the Party has left him." Half of that re mark Mr. Linney, we wiU endorse. On the morning of the 3rd of next November Mr. Linney' can tell the flat-footed .truth when he says the Party has left him and it ought to leave him.. He has less excuse for be ing an independent than any man of our acquaintance.. There is no man in the State who has muzzled more delegations packed more conven tions and tyicked more men out of nom inations He used to laugh heartily when after the campaign, he would regale his listeners with the modus t dp Wine so and so for Sheriff, or for Senate or for Congress. Oh Lyes, Mr. Linney. it was funny then. Now they feed you out of the samespooa and you straighten up. your countenance and earnestly cry: "Come unto me, the only true sposUe of Democracy, the autocrat of con ventions, and learn how the genuine article can gdurish out side of the regular fold." Yes sir the Democratic Party will leave yon at home. t Mk. Mowas tell us-that he has not,1 met (his college, Mr. Allen, but that! from numerous sources ha has learn ed that he will give strength t? the ticket during the campaign, and make a useful legislator vnen he is elected, ai he certainly will be. .- We ower both want to know they , have srxgjnd Sr C . ajd r.l I ii l STRATIO . .. ... - w.wuvu mi uie sxari to an fcounce that it' is the purpo6ef TaV ?LAT to stand fairly and firmly by the Administration , and President Cleve land; and in- ev. ry legitimate way give the President our undivided sup port And in saying this, be it un derstood that we have no axe to grind, but base our announcement purely upon the fact that we deem the Ad ministration worthy of the support and encouragement of all good Dem crats Since 18G1, when JameB Buch anan laid aside the robes of office, this country has not, until t'a administra tion, been b esed with a Dem; cratic President. Atfd we find in the very fact that we have a President aft r our own political faith so much to be thankful for, that we shall ever cheer fully lend him our limited it fiuence. Tte fact that for the first time since the war 'three lepreeenjtative southern men have been give i Cabinet positions,- a sout'iern man mide As sistant Secretary of the Treasury; and representative SouU ern gentlemen have been named to represent this country abroad gives us a respect for this Government next akin to love. It's true that shice the war previous Administrations have cho; en for high official position southern met', but noj; of 'such character, Sufltfenee and sym pathies that the South had cause to be proud. The class heretofore hou ored, represented that cjtss of out people who gladly bartered their birthright for the'mess of pottage. But Mr. Cleveland, the first Democratic President, gleaned among those statesmen and gentlemen whom we all respect, and while the honored may not have been from our own State, they have come from our dear South land; an 1 it makes us r.joice to feel that we are again back in the grand "old Union not only to bear its burden but to share its honors. We thank the President for what he has already done, and trust he may be spared to do more. We are aware of the fact that the attitude of the Plnt respecting the President is of saoall moment, because we appreciate the fact that we are only a small "Country Weekly," yet this fact even does not bar us the privilege of expressing our opinion. We prefer to give ho uncertain sonnd, and io matters pertaining to the interest of the public we want our positiun'un derstood alwajs. Like the old lady upon the battle-fieid who.wh n remon strated with for being in a place of so much danger and .directed to return home, declined upon the ground that if she could not tight Bhe could show which side her sympathies were on, we : want to show which side hv are on. A certain portion ot the Tress is given to criticizing the Presidvnt and his policy cjuiie severely. This is all right, gentlemen, we will not fall out about this as this is a free countty, and you are entitled not only to have your opinion, but to do as we do, ex press them. For ourselves we have to siy that Mr. Cleveland has conducted matters so muesli better than we could possibly. have done, that we feel proud to hur rah for him. He has doubtless made some mistakes, but who has not ? It is written that none of us are perfect; that we are mortals; then why expect so much from the President? He is only a man. We hope he may be his own sue- cessor, ana tuat ne ana ms ciever, sensible and handsome wife may be permitted to occupy the WhiU House until this Government has been brought back to the ways of Jef fersonian Democracy. A CLEVER GENTLEMAN . - WITH A BIG JOB ON HAND. The News and Observer announces that Col. Jno. Nichols, of Wake, late "Revenuer," and lastly postmaster at Raleigh under Arthur, feels called upon to enter the Congressiona. race in this district against Mj- Jno. W. Graham. The Plant knows Uol Nichols and values his friendship, and is sorry to find the gentleman engaged in so hopeless an undertaking. He will only have himself to thank for b8 defeat, for there ia no chance in this district for. any Republican, and that is just-what Mr. Nichols is. He may claim to be the Independent Working- man's Candidate, but we have in poli tics so often seen the wolf in sheep's clothing that long since we have learn ed to snot them by their track. "The a voice ie Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.'' It is the same old dodge the Colonel is trying to play and it won't work. Again the Colonel in his card of announcement takes the "Grand old Party',' to task for much that it only is responsible for. Now we submit that during all these years when the mat ters complained of were transpiring the Colonel was an ardent and enthu siastic Republican, and in full accord with hja party, now if he found him self then unable to correct these abuses, how now with no party affilia tionsas there are but two parties in Congress can Mr. Nichols hope to accomplish anything? Then again is it right and proper that the Metro politan District should be represented li,the Halls of the National Legisla ture by Political Hermaphrodite; oneHfyo wttj not e iayited into the caudi of either party, where all legis ktjTeVlahs nd policies are hud out, but lefo sit'on the fence outside?Be intention at tliehands ot Consrrea than, any district' most likely in the he U State, then, clearly it is in the line of common tens and plain business pol icy to allow Mr. Nichols to remain at hoirjp, filing as he does most credit ably his position as a private citizen, and send Maj. Jno. W. Graham, who ia in accord.1 with his party and the present a lministra'ioc, to Congrees, and our prediction is, this will be the result. ' "SHOOT LUKE OR GIVE UP THE GUN." On the 12th day of June, the town of Durham made and conclu led a con tract wi'h A. n. Howland of Boston, iiiaMi, 10 erect anil maintain Wa ter Works in the town contract Mr ll,,vilji,,t binls himself to. Wi,. 4l ' t - ?Kiu the work , date of the contract; and to complete the same within 15 inunths Mr. Howland further agrees and binds himself, before beginning the work of construction to submit full and complete plans of the worVs, to gother with specifications, etc. Mr. Howland further, agrees and binds himself, to execute and deliver bond in the sum of $20,000, with two justified securities, afttr the plans and specifications are approved. Now it is no part of our intention to prejudice Mr. Howlanl before the public, but we 5-ubmit that the gentle man ought to bo called to an account The good people of - the town have submitted and suffered already long enough, tiie mauy iaconvenieifces aris ing from the lac's of an adequate wa ter supply. Long enough have our business public seen their interests threated by the ravig s from iir, aud schemed aud planned for relief prom ised by the eredi-sn of suitable Wa ter Works. Loug euouli have the different Insurance Companies threat ened to withdraw' from the town. Long enough has the insurable in terest of the town been aulject to the iusjrauee clausj. Long enough has it been the case that the cry of Fire! Fire! meant 1500 to 2500 citizens standing h-.lphssly by and wittnesaiog the destruction ol their property. Long enough his the health of tho town suffered for the. want of a proper supply. oX water fr hygienic pui poses. Time woul i al most fail us to catalogue the catiAv Mli. What makes t'le matter bo muchWorse is that it appears to us that Slk Howland is playing the. "dog in themanger;" for we do know that when he.contracted to do-the work, 'other'b were willing to mike contracts for the Works and had submitted bido- for the saiiie. But the -.unfortunate part of the m itter i-, Mr. Howland bas fooled away the summer and done done nothing, mid winter is upon us But lit le work can be done now con structing Water Work?, besides win ter nieansV'Fire," and we are again caught without protection. We ap reci tte the force of the ar gument that al the Pipe Mills in the country are full of orders, and Mr. Howland could n6t get his pipe de livered before November. Admit that.then where are the two reservoirs (one 30,000,000 and one 5 000,000) his contract requites him to er ct. Water Works are not built out of pipe alone! This season of the year above all others ought to find aim building hi-? cisterm. They are to be located about 4 miles from town and to place all his material on the groun 1, and to properly do the work means a great deal more than getting his pipe deliv ered. Again we can not learn that he Las made any arrangement to con trol the water Bupply from which it is proposed to draw the water, and in faict, this is the only water supply to our knowledge to be had around the town in eny direct ion tthat looks at all feasible. We find then in conclusion that Mr, Howland 'has f tiled either to submit bis plans and specifications or file his bond of $20,000, as he agreed to do within the prescribed 00 days, and as Durham proposes to have Water Works we suggest that he begin eith er to shovel dirt or get out of the way. In other words, "shoot Luke or give gun. . ' Sinpe ti above was penned it i,s due Mf. Hwland to say, that he has written the chairman of the committee on Water Works, under -date ot Bos ton, Mass , Sept 10th, saying the de lay has been owing to matters entire ly beyond his control, besides the ill ness of his brotherr in-law, Mr. Ellis, bis assistant in Chicago. He declares it is his intention to be gin at once to execute his part ol the contract, and closes as follow: "I think you will be fully satisfied before we are through." We like snch talk as that, and in common with all our people will rejoice &p its fulfillment. Messim. H. A. Reams and S. T. Morgan were at Roxboro, Monday. A crowd of the sterling Democrats of Person had assembled to hear Messrs. Reid and Long. We learn that both these gentlemen made strong speech es, that Mr. Reid was exceedingly elo quent arid vigorous.. Mr. Morgan also spoke and made a good impression. Person county will give her solid Democratic strength to. the whole ticket There is no disaffection there. The Republicans have a siraightout ticket in the field, but there is muti ny in their ranks, over which the Dem- qcrate are not , weeping. Jerson county must go Democratic' this time. Go to work.
