I iWe nticel tiirle of the resolutions J . i i i 4' i . . of the aBove ndmeu party hist week Wowill not lpnW take them up ! seriatimd The whole ; platform as sumes one ithrinir. and that is that the Democratic tkrtyUs responsible for everything bad that has happened I since j the war Now. we contend that Messrs aiiguni and. Oakley when ihey try to eall are very un air ... attention to on y! the lhistakespf the party, and slur over or leave unno- ticed its good deeqs. liere are lew Christian men whose lives cannot be made to appear wicked, if grumblers and designilig men only notice their stinginess, 'their qtick j temper, their shortcomings, for all fare prone to evil, and even the best of men occa cinnallv 'rnimit sin. i-Kut the char- - itv that we ought io have would lead us to look at tire gtKxl ilone by good ' men, and forgive the shortcomings, if as a whole the lives of those men ! are round, and benevolent, and use ful. So it ought to bet with parties made up of ; men.j Of j course the Democratic party has made mistakes. Serious ones it inay be. I But when 1 we find that great prosperity to the State, great good to the people, education to the masses nave ac crued from the; dominance of the -Democratic party, we think it only fair to say, as we would U) a man, "your, intentions are good, your gen ; J eral conduct is gool, and we prefer ; to trust you again, 'rather than put into power that party that did noth i'nr Dnnd. Tiothinir praiseworthy, but C r ; . . i i 1 . - left, by its shameless conduct, a blot upon the State not yei enureiy crau- icated." The j platform of Messrs; Mangum & Oakley is composed of a series of resolutions which only complain. Thev know, or ought to! know, that it is impossible tinder any form of government, atpresent,to accomplish half what they demaricL ; They ought to know that jthe time has not come for working roads pf taxation. They ought aknow that it Is im possible to commit to a magistrate jurisdiction in larceny cases. They ought to know that the trial by jury is one of the dearest rights we have, and the idea that aC justice of the peace, who hasnt time tp be learned in the law, who hasn't time to give much attention ;to trying cases, should pass, upon af man's liberty with no jury, no court, we may say, is perfectly preposterous. Mr. Oak ley thinks it is all well enough when a poor negro has been accused of stealing a chicken,-to let a magis trate try him. But, Mr. Oakley, sup pose a charge were made against you, absolutely unfounded in truth, would you think,$ljOOO of the coun ty's money would be badly spent trying to establish your imuKjehce? The question to be answered m the trial of a criminal is this.' "Is he guilty?" Mr. Oakley,. if his speech is a fair exonent of his feelings, seems ' to think the, only question that ought to be considered is this. How cheaply can a nigger le sent to the Penitentiary?" We believe the trial by jury is ihe best method that has yet been' devised. A guilty nian may now ind then escape. A negro who has siolen ahicken may some times vuib more than the chicken is -worth! but when we con-' sider that this ;in:i lnnerv which sends a negro to the jK-nitentiary for stealiiig a chickeh,' protects the horse in the' staMe; that this- same ma chinery that requires a negro charged with stealing a chicken to be tried by a jury, protects all, loth rich and Mor in the enjnynient of that liberty for which Anglo Saxon blooed has been j spilled from . ltunnymede to Yorktown,we say let this remain until something better is given us. This machinery may fall into the hands of bad men as in lb'f8 when courts were made only the means of op pression and rememlierinsr those days when ' female virture was- un protected, when liberty was at the mercy of any . scoundrel, when an archy; revelel unrestrained in our fair borders, we say we are willing to pay S-W) to punish the theft of so small a thing as a chicken wliile we are certain that so great a thing '.as Justice weilds her sword uhtramineled and Liberty stands with her foot on the dethroned monarch of misrule. Yes, the JJ.emocralic party lias proven that it. is trustworthy, why not trust it? - The Republican party, when it had an opportunity, wasted it, and showed to all that it was ut terly faithless, cruel and tyrannical Why give it another chance? It is .composed, largely of the same ele ments now as in '08. How can we be fooled into believing it is any better. Democrats, turn your back on all such movements as Oakley and Mangum have started. If you are dissatisfied with any minor mat ters of policy or government, fight it out outside the Democratic party There is a fable which reads some thing like this : - A flock of sheep had lived peaceably and safely under the guardianship of faithful shepherd dogs for a'numler of years. Some wolves one day got the ar of the sheep and said to them, "why do you stay here in this field kept in by these mean dogs ? They are al ways barking at you, and making you go where you don't want to go We will show you ;'a better way." You just send the dogs off,and come out of 'the field and we. will take care of you let you do as you please, and besides we won't bark at vou." The foolish sheep did. as the wolves requested They sent away the dogs, and at Once the wolves seized upon them and destroyed them, and the poor. sheep tbo late called upon the dogt to protect them. The Democratic flock may be subjected to some lit tie annoyance, the barkingr of the Democratic dogs may not be pleas ant, the restraint of the - Democratic fold may be .a little irksome, but, if the dogs should be sent away, and Mangum & Oakley and the Repub lican wolves invited to take charge ruin, waste" and disaster may follow "Let well enough alone." Stay in the fold. "Let us rather bear the ills we have than fly to those we know not of." Keep the Republican wolves out. MANGUM AND CLEVELAND Democrats, do you remember that just on the eve of our last Presiden tial election, D. C. Mangum had printed and quietly circulated a base slander on Governor Cleveland re specting his position on Mixed Schools? Do you remember-how the Demo crats' in this community were forced to send runners all over the county to counteract and correct this slan der? Even on Sunday, the election occurring on Tuesday, some of our men were forced to ride and work. Now, gentlemen, is your opportunity tol balance accounts with Mr. Man gum. He comes before you as a candidate for Probate Judge. . Dem ocrats, you owe it to yourselves to wipe the very face oFthe earth with him. Put upon him a niark of con demnation so overwhelming that, like Cain the outcast, he will be forced to cry out, "My punishment is greater than I can bear.'? r , -1 : '.

Thanks, gentlemen, we are very fond of roast pig and "fixings." THE TRUE AND TKLED U THE GRAND OLD PARTY IN COUNCIL. Jolin lietts "Agin" Mangruiu and Oakley. Saturday at 2 o'clock, the Repub- icans attempted to hold a convention in Stokes HalL Jno. Bette, the "old revenuer" in a long tirade against lis old yoke-fellow and fellow labor er, D. C. Mangum, called the con vention to order, :and Chas. Rogers, a gemin 01 color rrom jslk urove township, was chosen charman. Charles, as a clever, honest negro, is a success, but as charman made a dead failure. ". Mangum and Oakley and friends were prepared for the occasion. They had their heelers on hand to run the meetin' and in spite of Rog ers, Betts & Col., they succeeded. Be yond question they downed Betts and came off first best. No nominations for legislative or county officers Were made, from the fact that this arrangement, would interfere with Mangum and Oakley, who are already in the, field, the nominees of the Republican conven tion held the Saturday previous. Thex-onvention -endorsed Nichols for Congress, Mason for the Senate, and Stray horn for .Solicitor. As man' as eiurht of the colored constituents of Mangum and Oakley would claim the floor and attempt to orate at one and the same time, and sometimes they succeeded. Bedlam was a hap py name. Betts swore in his wrath that his meeting had been captured and his plans frustrated, but that he would see them "agin." Rufus Jones, IMummer, Wiui Pearson, John Jones, and others, were frequent speakers, and it is said that So great was the hubbub that one negro spoke during the entire meeting and it ' was not discovered until after the adjoiurn nient and he was found alone in his glory, still speaking. One decent thing occurred though during the meeting a respectable and intelligent looking darkey arose and placed in nomination as a can didate for the House "of Representa tives, Mr John C. Angier. The following- resolutions were passed bv the meeting: Kesaltml, That it i the sense of this meet ing, that for the unity and perpetuity of, the Republican principles in Durham -county, that a full, Htraight Republican ticket be nominated, and that no one shall be. nomina ted or proposed . for any office, who has pledged himself to any other party or ticket. Resolved, That we cordially endorse and will actively support John .Nichols for Con gress from this district and Isaac R. Stray horn for Solicitor, also James K. Mason, our candidate for the Senate, and we commend them to the voters in the district in which they .run. IS IT GOOD DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE? iliose .Democrats who are op posed to President Cleveland's policy of Civil Service -Reform frequently remark that it is not, it never has been, and it never can be good Dem ocratic doctrine. The Tobxcco Plant is certain that most of theN&pposition, if not all that lias been shown by Democrats to the President's policy has arisen from a misunderstanding of that pol icy. The revenge, the ambition, the disappointment of politicians have had much to do with causing great confusion of thought on the subject and the criminal abuse of the civi service by the. Republican party, es pecially in the Southern States, and here in North Carolina not less than elsewhere, has naturally enough, but none the less unfortunately, with drawn attention from the doctrine o: reform, and confused with it many things that have jio more to do with Mr. Cleveland's policy than with the man in the moon. Let us get at the question, then and see whether or not Civil Service Reform is good Democratic doctrine If it is not, we should not have it even though it is the President who champions it. Wo have no right to accept it merely as the personal doc trine of Mr. Cleveland. The rea question is, is Mr. Cleveland in this matter in accord with good doctrine There is one way to determine this, and it is a very easy way. What has the Democratic party all along said on the subject? In the National Platform of 1876 when the Democratic party won its first National victory since the war there is this truthful declaration and clear enunciatiofi of the party's ptsi tion: "Reform is necessarv in the civil service, Experience proves that efficient, economical conduct of the governmental business is not possible if its civil service be" subject to change at every election, be a prize fought for at the ballot-box, he a brief reward of party zeal, instead of posts of honor assigned for proved competency, and held for fidelity in the public employ; that the dispensing of patronage should neither be a tax upon the time 01 all our public men, nor the mstru nient of their ambition. Could there be stronger language than that? And this is the platform on which the Democratic party won the victory whioh it did not enjoy in 1876. And the lately deceased statesman, under whose leadership that victory was won, even added emphasis to this emphatic enuncia tion of the doctrine, in his letter of acceptance. In that letter Mr. Til den wrote in 1876: "The Convention justly affirms that Re form is necessary in the civil service, neces sary to its purification, necessaryjto its econo my and its efficiency, necessary in order that the ordinary employment of the public busi ness may not be a prise fought for at the ballot-box, a brief reward of party seal instead of posts of honor assigned for proved compe- n; and held for fidelity in the public y. . "Two evils infest the fficial service of the Federal Government. "One is the prevalent and demoralizing notion that the public service exists not for the business and benefit for the whole people, but for the interest of the office-holders, who are in truth the servants of the people. "The other evil w the organization of the official class into a body of political mercen aries, governing the caucuses and dictating the nomination of their own party." This is precisely the position taken by President Cleveland in his famous order to all employees of the Govern ment to abstain from participation in caucuses and conventions, it is not original' with Mr. Cleveland. It was not ieven original with Mr. Til den. Each simply took the good, old, pure Democratic ground. If the Administration of the Govern ment' had come into Mr. Tilden's hands for four years, as a majority of the voters in the United States jit the ballot-box directed it to come, he would have -pursued the same x)licy that Mr. Cleveland is pursu- rail 1 II -i 1 1 1 ing. 1 lie long anu usgraceiui uetay in bringing about j the reform was caused by Hayes, and Garfield and Arthur and their Republican Ad ministrations. Mr. Cleveland took up the policy just where Mr. Tilden left it. ' If, then, the President's civil ser vice policy be not good Democracy, what is good Democracy?" And by what standard are we to judge whether anything be good Denioc- racy, 11 not by tne deliberate utter ances of the uartv in convention urfu the position of its greatest imfuern leader? The Tohaco Plant desires least of all things, to be tedious. Still it has no a no loir v to make lor publishing these documentary proofs of the Democratic soundness of the reform I policy. We are profoundly convinced that both the opposition to this doctrine and the lukewarm and apologetic approvall of it in a few Democratic circles, especially in our own State, arises from a total misapprehension. And 11 we can A. . . . . remve .such misapprehension con- cernfnSo important and so sound and so 'patriotic a doctrine, we con ceive that we will have done the best service we can i render alike to the Democratic party in North Car olina and to the spread of sound principles. Let us remember, then, that it was Tilden's doctrine. I i 1 OUR NEW YORK LETTER. Henry George Blaine Taliuage j . j JMrs. Lantry. i New York. Oct. 9.- There isreallv but one- topic of public importance in the minds and talk of the people here, ajid that is the campaign ol Henry tGeorge, thej Labor Party's candidate for Mayor of the city. He haslactively begn the canvass. More tlian 34,000 men have pledged themselves to vote lor him. Eyerv dav he receives a lame number of small contributions to his campaign fund not only iroin men of all class es of society here,but from other cities as well. ! 1 he ( Henry George crowd have of course 1 been ridiculed as "cranks." Tlijey have accepted the name, and tlrf-ir campaign badge is a crank. It is not impossible that the Crank partv will be adopted as a serious name. You know there are many precedents for such a thing. The "Loeo-foco" party was first so calleel in derision; so were the "Barnstormers;'' and both of these became serious names. So likewisfej with the Mugwumps. Thev were thus called first in ridicule, but the name stuck. But whether the George men be known as "Cranks' or not, they are already playing a big game. It is not an impossible thing that they may carry the elec tion. It they do, that will be the signal for the organization generally ot, a Workingman s 1 party which unlike its predecessors in recent years, mav have the stuff and stiniu lijs in it to be the' foundation ef a real Free Trade" party. It is the possibility of a general movement which lurks in this experiment that gives it such great importance. Npi body, in the present disorganization oi paniew nere, oares io preoici wiiai will hainK-n. The - air is full of strange possibilities. In New Jersey, as in Massacbu setts and the either New Fnglam States, the Republican convention just now aeijourneel, was manned bv Blaine men. It is the Blaine men who have the Republican machinery in almost all these North Atlantic States, and thev are alrtfiidv makim a desperate effort to nave him re nominated. Theanti-Blaine Repul licans have already' given fair warn ing that they may be elepe-nded on again to vote for Cleveland as against Blaine ; so. that the best policy the Democrats can pursue is to give these Blaine fellows all the encouragement thev can. If before 1S8S this new Lapor party should get itself on its teet: it may be a disturbing element. One thing is certain, the Labor party is in favor of Civil Service reform. Mrs.'Langtry, when she first went on the stage, went less as an actress than as a professional beauty ; and people paid to see the wAman and noi ner piaymg. it was predicted then that she never could act. But the Critics have been fooled again, as they ; otten are. bhe has applied herself diligently to her profession. and .everybody acknowledges that sne is, to say tne least ot her, a very good actress indeed. The engage-, ment she is now filling in New Yorl is a very profitable one.j Active preparations are in prog ress for the formal dnataguration of the great statue of Liberty. The United States military officers and the officers of the nayy are now making up a programme for a great day jof it. There will jbe speech making in English and; in French, fire works and music and dinner also in both languages, and a great deal of international courtesy and compliment The statue will be one of the great things about New York or indeed in the world tb see and to climb up no, not to climb up, but be rushed up in an elevator. During the week there have been two lor1 three of the most violently actiie days on Wall street that have come j since the memorably brisk days of two years or more ago. The stock market has been feyerish, and somfebodvjias made great strokes of; lucky fortune and somebody elsei hasn't. ' The old story is repeating! itself. Men rich to-day, are bank-'; rupts to-morrow; and no one of the averkge men of the street is missed it lie iaus out 01 me ruiiKo. n icn- millknaire'.s failure is talked about. ! The ifailure of a man who has only ; $2o(K,(XK) or even $5(10,000 does not ; always -supply even one-day of gos-1 sip, iunless when he fails he runs' awaT or does some other, sensational tliinir. But such an event means tjje last of a-man who drove his tine lorslcs yesterday and lived in a hne louse. Rut the great .games in this greatest of all gambling places goes on just the same.
