THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
We publish below an exiractrfrom the
Saratoga Sun, in which that paper at
tempts to show that next to Mr. Til
den, Roswell P. FlOWEB, of New
York, can more certainly carry the
Epire State for President than any
other roan. Mr. Flower has little
national reputation, buf that of itself
jg no erfcus-objection to him. The
gun says :
"The man for the Democrats to
nominate is therefore and without
question, one who cau certainly carry
NewTfork. And while we believe
any candidate the convention would
probably nominate, would stand a fa
vorable chance to get the electoral
votes of this State, we do not think it
the part of wisdom to rely upon pos-
iblities nor even probabilities, when
Struggle for the Xlfe of the
Republic.
Saratoga San.
TJie campaign of1884 will soon be
upon us, in fact the marshaling of the
forces and the arguments have already
begun. Just now t? following arti
cle from the New York World is so
timely and ao sensible that we trust
all our readers will give it a careful
and thoughtful perusal. The World
says:
The real issue involved in the Pres
idential election is the continued ex
istence of a republican government
in fact as well as in form. If a politi
cal party, having been in power near
ly a quarter of a century, can success
fully set up a prescriptive right to
hold possession of the government to
exclusion of all others, despite the wiil
of the people, we cannot claim to live
under a real Republic. If elections
certainties are surely within our reach. I Ky the ueonle are overthrown bv sub-
.... . I . .1 T " - J 1
Wno, men, can cenaniiy secure tne
electoral strength of the Empire State?
The man whose name will most read
ily coine to mind in answer to this
question, is Samuel J. .Tilden, the pa
triot statesman, the wise, executive,
the consummate leader, who has suf
fered in uncomplaining silence, the
greatest wrong ever inflicted upon
toy American by his countrymen. If
Mr. Tilden were younger or had the
physical vigor to undertake the her
culean labors of the campaign, no
other's name would be mentioned in
connection with this nomination.
Even as it is, if he would only say
the word, the party would rally to
his support as foue man. We have
been, as our readers know, reluctant
to ad nut that tlws could not be. We
have hoped, even against hope, that
the reports of his determination not
to allow his party again to nominate
and elect him and, this time to scat
him, were not well founded. But the
great leader has not denied these pos
itive statements, put forth by those
who have been recognized as the pos
sessors of Iris confidence, and vvc aro
forced to conclude that he will not
again consent to lead the Democratic
hosts to victory.
"As we cannot, therefore, have Mr.
Tilden, have we any other leader
whose name will give us the assurance
of triumph? Is there another Demo
crat of this State who can unite the
party in his support and whose abili
ty and integrity will commend him
to the confidence and arouse the en
thusiasm of the party everywhere?
There is such a man and his name is
Roswell Pi Flower. -
"Mr. .Flower has lived in the midst
of factions, but he has never been
-identified with anv of Hiem. At the
. t - -1 -
same time he would be zealously sup
ported by thm all. This illustrious
Democrat is a man of exalted charac
ter and consummate ability; an or
ganizer who is the peer of Mr. Tilden
himself; whose record is irreproacha
ble and whose personal magnetism
marks him as a born leader of nieh'
HARBINGER OF SUCCESS.
Tle Troy P, ess, one of the ablest
and best Democratic papers of ftew
York, after an able and sensible re
sume of the various candidates for the
Presidency in the several States, con
cludes its article with an extract from
the Hartford (Conn.) Telegrame as
follows :
"Ve cordially agree with every
sentiment herein expressed. While
we should be gratified to see our no
ble standard bearer of ,1880, Gen.
Hancock, again renominated, and we
believe that if he were, the people
Would triumphantly place him in the
Presidential chair as they did his
great prototype, General Jackson,
Wore tha,, half a century ago, still,
if in the assembled wisdom of the
convention it should be thought the
wiser course to act otherwise, we be
lieve there is no man in the country
who combines all the elements to make
successful candidate and an able
chief magistrate asTully as Mr. Flower
noes. The Democracy of the State of
vouuecticut would hail his nominal
tion as a harbinger of success and
would cast its vote for him beyond a
shadow of doybt."
sequent fraud, or are purchased by
money raised through the vast 'power
of the Government ever the wealthy
corporations and monopolies it has
warmed into life, we are a Republic
only in name. If our Legislatures,
National and State, are purchased ; if
our highest judicial tribunals are de
bauched ; if our public- officials are
corrupt and dishonest ; if the Federal
Administration owes its existence to
the money of exacting corporations,
whose bidding it is compelled to do,
we no longer have a government of
the people.
It is the business of those who de
sire to restore the reality of republi
can government to point out by what
stealthy steps it has been destroyed,
l or at least dangerously impaired. It
is necessary for those wno would form
an intelligent opinion of the danger
threatening our free institutions to
examine fairly and impartially the
record Republicanism has made in
the past. Will any one pretend that
the insidious approach of the Repub
lican leaders under -Grant to a dicta
torship is not a lesson and warning?
When the Federal bayonets were at
the throat of popular liberty in Lou
isiana, and the legislature of a sover
eign State was dispersed by Sheridan's
j troopers, the advance of imperialism
was checked by the protest of such
Republicans as William M. Kvarts,
When a wreck less partisan proposed
to clothe Grant with arbitrary powers
over the lives and liberties of the
whole people, even such a Republican
a?TJames G. Blaine called a halt.
But in 1876 nearly the entire Repub
lican party winked at the stealing of
the Presidency, and Win. M, Evarts
was au active participant in the out
rage. In 1890 the leading men of the
party were ready to do honor to ex-
Senator Dorsey, who had been the
prime negotiator in its purchase, and
James G. Blaine took his share of the
ill-gotten spoils. y
Bring" up the past of Republican
ism ! Show how the grand old party
has degenerated since Lincoln stood
at its head, and when his mission was
to protect the oppressed, to raise the
lowly, to guard and preserve the gov
ernment of the people, by thev people
and for the people! Point out hew
I'ineohfs generous treatment of the
South and his desire to put a stop to
sectional strife compare with the ef
forts of John Sherman and the Re
publican organs to revive the-ditter-ucss
and enmities of the war. In this
manner the people can best be arous
cd to a sense of the dangers that now
threaten free government.
i he struggle in this campaign is
C7U a mm
for the life of the Republic. Let us
know if the people still rule and have
the power to select their own govern
ment. It is natural that the Kepub
lican organs should object to a review
of their past acts, but it is necessary
to show by what steps we have reach
ed our present condition in order to
insure the overthrow of a party which
has ah army of more than one hun
ored thousand dependents under its
control, and which can command the
enormous wealth of the moneyed cor
porations and monopolies it has built
up to aid it in retaining its held en
power.

The Boone Family.
Genealogical Record made by Daniel
Boone's Brother in 1892, and Lately
Found among his Son's Papers.
Squire Boone, son of Goorge the third,
was born in Brndninch, in old England,
io 1699, and in the year 1714 ha landed
in Philadelphia and lived a fow years in
North Wales, Now Philadelphia, where
he married Sarah Morgan, daughter of
Morgan, by which marriage ho had
elevea children, to wit: Sarah, Israel,
Samuel, Jonathan, Elizabeth, Daniel,
Mary, George, Edward, Squire and Han
nah. These were all born in Oley town
ship, Pennsylvania. Sarah married Jno.
Wilcox son ; Elizabeth, William Grant;!
Mary, William Bryan ; Hannah, John
Stewart, but the said Stewart had never
a sob by Hannah to bear his name, but
three daughters, and then died, as sap- j
uie iKinu i me savage, in Ken
tucky Slate.
Daniel, tbo fourth son of Squire and
Sarah, was a man wonderful for exploring
and maintaining new parts of the world.
a good woodsman, an active warrior, a I
man of courage and good conduct. The '
said Colonel Daniel Boone married Re
becca Bryan, daughter of Joseph Bryan,
by which union he had nine children,
five boyo and four girls, to wit : James,
Irael, Susannah, Jemimab, Layinah, Dan
iel, Jesse, Rebecca and Nathan. Squire
Boone, son of George and Mary, in the
fiftieth year of his age moved from Penn
sylvania to Roan County, in North Car
olina, with all his children, and lived
there till his death, which was in the
sixty-fifth year of his age, a. d., 1764,
and was buried in the said Roan County,
in the fork of the Yadkin River, about
ten miles above the fork, on a place call
ed the Burning Rigg, and his wife Sarah
died in the seventy-tecond year of her
age, and iu the year of our Lord 1776,
and was buried in the same burying
ground beside her husband.
Squire Boone, sou of Squire and Sarah,
was born in Clay township, in Berkos
County, Pennsylvania, in the year of our
Lord, 1744, and in the fifth year of his
age was taken by his father into North
Carolina, where he lived ten years, and
then was sent again to Pennsylvania to
learn the gunsmith's trade : and after an
apprenticeship of five years he came
back again to North Carolina, and in the
one-and-twentieth year of his age was
married to Jane Vancleave daughter of
Aaron Vancleave, of. the Low Dutch de
scent, from Holland.
He, thosaid Squire Boone, had bom
unto him by the said Jane, his wife, five
children, to wil: Jonathan, Moses, Isaiah,
Surah and Euoch Morgan, four of which
were born iu North Carolina Jonathan ,
in the year of our Lord, 1766 ; Moses,
in 1769 ; Isaiah, iu 1772 ; Sarah, in 1775 ;
Enoch Morgan, in 1778. He, the said

though unwilling to the last, when they
did make the fatal plunge, it was for all

From the evidences seen on every hand
it is safe to predict that if the season is
favorable there will be an effort this time
qpoiior to any State endeavor of the
like kind that has been made in the
whole Union. Politics may rage, but so
far as the Tar-heels are concerned indus
trial development will take the lead in
thoughts, aud a grand thing it will be
for them.
New England can well afford to follow
the course of events in North Carolina
Its industrial possibilities are numberless:
its soil aud surface are teaming with nat
ural wealth ; its atmosphere is charged
with industrial electricity, and many
years will not pass before there will be
such a flash of activity there as will not
astonish the natives only, but the nation
as well.
Pleasure-seekers, too, will find a no
more delightful place io spend a few
weeks next fall than at the captal of the
Old North State, aud it win make a
charming resting place for visitors bound
for New Orleans to attend the great cot
ton Exposition, which will not open till
the fair at Raleigh closes. North Caroli
na did a splendid thing for New England
ast tall in coming to Huston with a dis-
play of its resources. New. England
must not fail to return the compliment.

this being the case, he has no right to risk that crop on anything that has not been
tried and proved. The following will show what has been "tried and proved," iu the
fertilizer way, on fine tobacco, and Major Ragland, of Halifax county, Va., the great
tobacco authority, and grower of pedigree tobacco seed, is the man who tells about it.
If anybody k nows what tobacco is he certainly does :
"There arc several brands of fertilizer manufactured specially for tobacco, differing
in composition, price, and merit; and after repeated experiments with most, if not all
the boot, the author gives it as his decided opinion, that for fine, bright, silky tobacet

ANCHORBRAND'
Tobacco Fertilizer, prepared by the Southern Fertilizing Company, Richmond, Na.
And this opinion is based upon seventeen years' trial, and often in competition with the
best of other brands on the market. It is a tried and proved fertilizer, which the plant
er can use without the risk of getting something unsuited to his crop; and therefore I
can recommed it with confidence."
Messrs. Mathews & Williamson, of Beidsville, X. C, wrote the following to the
Company, and state that they have seen nothing since to change their judgment.
"From our own personal experience, and it covers a long time, in watching the re
sults from the use of various brands of commercial fertilizers handled in this section, it
is our mature judgment that the 'ANCHOR BEANS' stands at the head of ail
for the production of fine, silky, yellow tobacco. The plant seems to receive more fitting
nourishment from the use of this article than from any other, and we are of opinion
that if our farmers made it their stand-by, we would hear less of light chaffy tobacco,
having some color but no body, and that the farmer would realize the result he ought
to enjoy from his labor ; for low-grade tobacco will not bring big mopey."
Now we want you to have "big money" for your crop; because we not only desire
you to make good bills with us, but pay for them when they arc made ; hence wc han
dle the 'Anchor Brand and will supply you, in quantities to suit, direct from the
factory. We don't want people to abuse us about their fertilizer; we, therefore, sell
only what time has shown to be the best. So, make no arrangements in this line, until
you see or confer with us. You certainly can't afford to take any risk this year.
