Mr. A. D. McCabe, who vouched
for ?sa reputable citizen of Monmouth
N. has made affidavit that he was
a fej low passenger with one of ihe in
stallments of repeaters alleged to have
beeil nt.to Florida- receutly by the
Republican national cormuittee; that
on rencliinjr Florida several of the
menj informed htm that they were not
really going to work on a railroad, as
had ibeeirat fiiht represented, but re
fii!e4" to answer furthe r inquiries. , Mc
Cabe further savs that from October
9 tojl6, at which latter date he left
Jackisotiville for- New York, he saw
great numbers of the alleged laborers
going up to the Republican heiirqiiar
ters -hn Bay street ; that he asked the
reaf?4 f their visit to said headquar
ter, lun:eceived no answer. j

thau Presley, who. was elected over

in 856. How is that for a fair vote T The
same rate of increase all over the State
would show a gaiu of-more than 75,000
over the vote of 1878. j
A prominent grain man of this city told j
j . . c . e !
j-our correspondent to-day of a party ot
uejrroea that clime into Indiana the morn-,
ing of the election from Springfield and j
-poiutson the Wabash road, there were
TIIUEK CAE LOADS OF THEM.
Thev returned the next lav, and beiu
detained at Tolono by collision, told the i
iH'opl, theie ail about their trip. They
were distributed through rouptaiu couu
tv whicli Went Kepublicau by a small ma-
; jority, the representative being elected by
only twenty-nine plurality.
As an evidence of the slenderuess of
the threads upon which haug not only ev
ctlastiug things but those of temporary
affairs as well, the Kepublicau majority
of fourteen on joint ballot in the Legisla-
ure depeuds upon an aggregate plurality
of uot much over 300. Fountain county
elected its Representative by twenty-nine
plurality, St. Joseph aud Starke by thir
ty-one. Perry by forty-four, Noble and
Ripley counties by fifty-eight each, Spen
cer by fifty-nine, while the Senator from
Carroll, White and Pulaski, comes in by
only eighteen plurality. These figures
are full of thought to the average politi
cian, and demonstrate how valuable a"
thing is well directed work.
The local Republican politicians, aided
by the News, are endeavoring to create
the impressiou that Democrats are taking
aud scheming about effecting a
FUSION WITH TflE NATIONALS,
by splitting up the electoral ticket, and
outsiders are taking up the matter and
throwing their gigantic intellect on the
.scheme. Democrats are uot engaged in
that work; as Senator McDonald said
when a cheeky National suggested the
withdrawal of the Democratic electoral
ticket aud uniting on Weaver's and Cham
bers', such a move, or anyttiing iu that
direction, would result iu a virtual disso
lution of the party. We think there is a
too good a chance to carry the electoral
vote for Hancock and Euglish to fool witji
exploded powder.
. The Radicals have getteu up a little
blank book, which is intended to be are
cord of the Republican voting at the pro
duct at which it is used. The first page
is to contain the name of the precinct,
county and State ; the names of the Uni
ted States super risors ; of the inspectors
and registrar and returning officer. Then
the body of the book is to contain "the
names of voters who exhibited to us a Re
publican ticket and voted in our pres
ence.'' The last leaf contains a certificate
touching the electiou, to be signed by the
Republican local committee, and a memo
randum is annexed relative to any dis
turbance at the polls.
Such a record, if accurately kept, would
do no barm to any oue, but the fact that
such preparatious have been made iu ad
vance shows that the Republican man
agers are preparing evidence in advance
touching the elections. Ital. Observer.
Mr. F. M. Winchester, of Union county,'
is iu Philadelphia attending a medical
school. He writes to his uncle, Cyrus H.
Wolfe, living iu this county, that the Re
publican committee in Philadelphia has
offered to pay his expenses home and
back and one dollar pel-day while absent,
if he will come home and vote the Repub
lican ticket. Mr. Wolfe, m respectable and
warthy citizen of Meckleuburg county,
authorizes this statement. . What has
been accomplished iu Indiana and boldly
attempted in Florida will be attempted
in North- Carolina. Republican success
is only possible by a systematic pollutiou
of the ballot box. This desperate aud
corrupt party will go to the extreme lim
it in its mad effort to retain power.
The- measure of - its success in North
j Carolina will depend upon Democratic
! organization and vigilance. The few days

not wisli the success ot the Democrat
ic party to depend ion the solidity of
any section, but to rest on a majority
in all sections. As to the cry that the"
Democratic party will destroy the in
dustries of the country, he said the
Democratic party has been in power
fivj years and has has not impaired or
ruined any industry. The tariff ought
not to be a party issue. Our people
are averse to direct taxation, but the
tantl necessary to provide tor pay-
uient of the public debt is so great
that it is necessarily protective. The
tariff question affects sections, and
those sections will send a prohibition
ist or free-trader to Congress, be he
Democrat or Republican, according
as they think their interests dictate.
Centralization of power is the most
important feature in this canvass.
The power of the government has
been found sufficient to settle all in
ternal difficulties and to put down the
great rebellion, and he did not see
what a strong government is wanted
for unless to put down the people."
MISCELLANEOUS.
The State Fair oh Thursday was
attended by a very large crowd. The
Raleigh News & Observer estimates it
at 10.000.' It also uronounccs the
fair a great success. The attractions
were varied and interesting. There
J were twenty-eight entries for the pig
eon match. A fine gun was the prize
There Were tics which will be shot off.
The races were four in number and
were spirited. Four teams entered
for the match for the prize flag. The
LaFayette Light Infantry, of Fay
ctteville, were the winners. The
prize plume for the best single shot
was won by a member of the 6ame
company. The winning team was
composed of Thomas Lewis, H. M.
Depo, B. T. Bcasley, Joseph Flowers
and W. R. Clark. The score was 22
the target being a United States reg
ulation. The winner of the plume
was Thomas Lewis.
A Delicate Matter. Supposing
that you are in society with a lady of
a certain age, and that you do not
know whether 'she be an old maid or
not, ought you to address her us Mad
ame or Mademoiselle? If the person
be pretty, aud if her "certain age"
cad uot be looked upon with indiffer
ence, then call her Madamoiselle. If
the person be ugly and uulovely call
her Madame? it is only gallaot to
seem to suppose that she has been the
object of sincere devotiou aud of an
aflectiou founded ou tho qualities of
her heart. On the other hand, it may
be maintained that one should always
address a woman in these conditions
as Madame, which is the object of her
dreams if she be a maiden, and of her
pride if she be a married woman.

Americau friends at her Tronville cottage
on the coast of Frauce. The costliness
of the table service and decorations re-
miuds one of the "Arabian Nights." Not
only gold, silver and priceless porcelain
were used, but amber, coral, and pre
cious stones were pressed into service.
Ices were served on crystal plates inlaid
with uncut gems, and wine aud liquors
sparkled in flasks of amber,6r wero con

Alcoholic stimulants do no not make a
man braver or more cowardly. Tho use
of them sometimes throws men off their
guard and makes them less considerate ;
but he that is unclean and cowardly- is
unclean aud cowardly still, and he that is
brave and generous is not changed. Tho
Almighty's works are not ephemeral, but
everlasting. - Man is what he is by na
ture. - Artificial means may hasten the
development of his character, but they
do not mould it. He will follow his nat
ural tent as certainly as the dog will
return to his vomit or the hog to its
wallow'. When a positive change i
wrought it is the work of a miracle, and
then the angels rejoice and another .star
is added to the jeweled crown of Heaven.
