Labors for Glory.
Considering the relation the press bears
to the country, to parties and to politi
cians, its compensations for services ren
dered are humi liat in. When the time
comes for acknowledgment of such ser
vice the chief agencies in it are thrust
aside. The party claims that the press
has only done Its out y. Amn uir cut
Does the Citizen overlook the great
privilege of being secretary to political
meetings? Does it fail to remember
(hai occasionally, on "off' years, the
political editor is honored with an ap
pointment to attend district conven
turns though this is a rather rare
honor. One thins is beyond all dis-

pute and that is that the editor does
more, sacrifices mors, in time, labor and
money for his party, than any other
individual in the country. He is rare
ly remunerated evn with pay for
the job work done for the party, yet
he goes right in and makes the fight
in i the face of all such embarrassing
circumstances. The honest editor is
the highest type of the politician, ac
tuated only from principle and disin
terested patriotism, he is ever giving to
and laboring for his party.
The Duty of the Whole Country.
Troy Vidette.
A Republican who says he is the "son
of a Republican" soldier, writes to the
in. v. amn. in us:
"Samuel JrTildon should be nomina
ted by the Democratic party for Presi
dent of the United States in justice to the
country, in justice to the party itself, and
in justice to the man. Samuel J. Ill den
No sane person can at this time, with the
light of time and impartial judgment,
doubt the gross injustice done in the year
1876 to the whole people in setting aside
the honest verdict of the entire nation, as
shown by their votes, electing 8. J. Tilden
President of the United States. If the plea
is now put forth that Mr. Ti Men is too
old, nominate him, and with him a Vice
President in whom the country would
have confidence, say Samuel J. Kendall
or John O. Car Use. But, above all, right
the mighty wrong ! 1 am a Blaine man,
bat to right and wipe out this one black
spot on my country's history I would
yote for 8. J. Ti Men and vindicate the
purity and stability of our American in
stitutions. I am convinced there are
thousands like me in the Republican
party.
No Republican, nor the son of any
Republican, will be apt to draw the
people from the line of duty as it is
seen by every democrat in this country.
Bo far as the nomination of President
is concerned, there is no difference of
opinion. G rover Cleveland is already
nominated in every Democratic heart.
He will be indorsed by the people. His
administration certainly has the ap
proval of the honest people of the
United States. The writer even thinks
that t heart the President is not so
much of a civil serviceman as some
would have us believe, but he is, by
virtue of his office, obliged to execute
thai and all other laws, so that no mat
ter what his individual principles may
be, he has no choice in the matter.
There is not a doubt bat that he would
veto the Blair bill. But we cannot
expect to have a President in exact ac
cord with all our notions. But whether
in exact accord or not, no man, white,
black, Democrat or Republican, can
doubt the integrity of Mr. Cleveland,
the best roan who has filled the Chief
Executive chair since the days of
Thomas Jefferson. He will be. indorsed
by the people. The Republicans want
to - set Sam Tilden right, do they? A
Blaine man at that! Did you ever?
9 Citizen in Trouble.
Our friends, the editors of the Ashe
ville Citizen ,hne gotten into n little
scrape with a "techy" Judge. His ac
tion indicates that the Citizen was not
Ur from the truth in its innocent
pleasantry. The following is from a
telegram in the Charlotte Observer:

Mauney to to the front
From all that has ln written on
1 .. ' a a a
the sdbject, it was hardly expected that
Mr. Mauney would have a "walk over"
in Davidson, yet such seems to be the
case. The tbljowihg special telegram
was cut from last Stindo s Charlotte
Observer:
"Lexington, X. a, July 8. Town
ship conventions were heurm uaviason
today. Lexington, Thomasviiie ana con
rod Hill instructs for Mauney for solici
tor. Mauney is solid in Davidson."
This is a source of much gratifica
tion to Mr. Mauney and his friends,
and especially so ill view of the rather
unfair position taken by some of the
supposed influential citifcens of Lexing-
ton. The only tning against nr.
Mauney is that he is a Rowan man.
Sad is it hot, to live in Rowan. But
the people of Davidson are a conserva
tive and a fair people and are govern
ed by sense rather than prejudice,
consequently they voted in the
primaries for their choice regardless of
the county from which he Came.
Rowan Townships.
Telegram to Charlotte Observer.
Statesvillk. N. C, July i7. -Infoma-tion
has been received herei today that
two or three townships in Rowan county
favored B. F. Long for solicitor. Rowan
is the county of Mr. Long's antagonist.
The above is mean, little, and a de
signed perversion of facta. The result
of the primaries held in this county
ere published in the Watchman, and
no mention of Mr. Long was made at
any of the meetings, so far as the
writer has been able to gather. Mr.
Long is but little known I in Rowan.
The county convention passed a reso
lution instructing the Rowan delega
tion to cast the county vote as a unit
for "Mr. Mauney, and the voice of that
convention will be obeyed.! It is not
likely that Mr. Long would be the choice
even if Mr. Mauney was not. Will
the Observer be kind enough to correct
the inference conveyed in
telegram ?

Panama Canal
:The severest attack yet made on this
great French scheme has just appear
ed in Paris, in a pamphlet of 70 pages,
in which the business management is
severely denounced. Only five of the
21 sections of the work have been
fairly commenced, and on I these have
been expended all the money yet raised.
The mortality of the men engaged in
the work is -reported as fearful.
The New York Star reports an fit
tempt to blow up the steamer, Sylvan
Stream, on which was a young Brazil
ian Prince, Leopold, who on invitation
from polite citizens was visiting Coney
Island. The diabolical attempt was
reserved until the boat was returning.
The boat was near New York when a
man named Brown was seen hastily
to snatch up from the deck a bottle
with a brass covered stopper, in which
was a burning fuse, and throw it over
board. He had not time to examine
it, and it is not positively known what
the bottle contained, but it is believed
it was dynamite, and that the boat and
passengers, 150 in number narrowly
escaped a fearful disaster. A threat
ening letter had been received in the
morning by one of the company de
nouncing as "lick-spittles," those who
were of the party honoring the Prince,
anjd warning them that the time for
such worship of royalty was past, and
must end, &c.
The. Dixon, the brilliant orator,
who represented Cleveland county in
the last Legislature so faithfully and
so ably, has drawn the line at politics,
declaring that a man cannot be a
christian and a politician at the same
time. Perhaps he cannot be, but oth
ers may. Mr. Lnxon will probably go
into the ministry, and it was doubtless
with this in view that he made the
remark quoted above. It is very cer
tain that a man cannot be a minister
and a polichln serving twd masters
for the duties of either require all of a
mans time. Mr. Dixon will be a very
useful man . in the ministry and his
friends predict a brilliant future for him.
The most contemptible matter now
presented the American public is in the
shape of leading editorials iri the New
York City press. The editors of all
those immense papers are indulging in
a regular black-guarding frolic. The
amount of abuse reserved for the oc
casion is wonderful. There seems no
depth too foul for their penetration.
The public must be weary, vbry weary,
of it. A man by the name of Page, or
Sage or some such name, said that
no $orih Carolina editor could make
his salt on one of those paper. Guess
he was right.

Jno. Card well, under sentence to
hang on the 30th of this month, has
been released by a mob from the
Wilkesboro jail. He had been twice
reprieved by Gov. Scales, but was to
hang as above stated. It is a high
handed piece of work, to take a man,
condemned to death by a court, from
from the jail and release him. It is an
outrage in every sense and the perpe
trators are guilty of a great offense
against the law, peace and dignity of
the State.

However much those who knew little

the deeds of North Carolines therein.

struggle have always been enthusiastic
in praise of the part North Carolina
played on the battle-field. The met has
been recently illustrated again . A citizen
of Tarboro, Mr. Geo. T. Williams, pol
ished np a walking cane of Edgecombe
wood and sent it to ex-president Jefferson
Davis. He has received an acknowledge
ment, in the course of which Mr. Davis
says: "The cane is precious to mc,
having been cut by a North Carolina
soldier who contributed to our first vic
tory in the war, and remembers, as I do
with pride, the battle of Big Bethel.
North Carolina did her full duty there,
and it has given me pleasure often to bear
testimony to the valor and fidelity of her
sons on many trying occasions." "Scorn -ers
may sneer at and witlings defame"'
the good old state, of our love but,
honorable men and men of information

Mr. Robbins and the Judgeship..
Editors Watchman: I noticed in your
paper of last week that a correspondent
as well as your paper editorially spoke in
very complimentary terms of me for
Judge in this District, and since your
County Convention of last Saturday. I
have received letters to the same effect
from friends in Rowan, besides having
been frequently approached on this sub
ject by friends in my own county.
While I, of course, feel flattered by
these complimentary notices and folly
appreciate them, yet I am not a candi
date, nor con I allow the use of my name
for that office.
I am for the nomination of Judge
Montgomery, and have so declared to mv
friends, repeatedly and candidly. In my
estimation, Judge Montgomery is an able,
impartial and upright judge, and being
ment of my position due both my friends
and myself. I therefore bex mv kind
Rowan friends and all my friends no
longer to use mv name in connection
With the iddaeshio of this District, for if
nominated I could not accept.
Very Respectfully,
F. C. Bobbins.
The voters of Rowan had hoped to
cast their vote for Mr. Robbins, or
Mr. Pinnix, or for some man whom
they considered worthy of support for
the very responsible position of Judge.
The people of Rowan do not favor the
re-nomination of Mr. Montgomery and
they frankly so state it. Certain things
have come to the ears of the editors of
this paper regarding Mr. Montgomery
which, if not cleared up, necessarily
forces this paper to oppose him. He
certainly is aware of the fact that these
things are being circulated to his
damage, and more, he knows exactly
who is doing it, yet he remains silent.
He should v indicate himself or with
draw from the contest
Rowan County Convention.
In obedience to the call of the Execu
tive committee, the Democrats of Rowan
assembled at the Court-house here on
last Saturday. Jas. W. Rumple, Esq.,
Chairman of the Committee, called the
house to order and requested T. C. Linn,
Esq., to act as Chairman. This gentle
man explained the object of the meeting
aud announced that the meeting was
ready to go into a permanent organiza
tion. On motion, the temporary chair
man was made the permanent presiding
officer and T. K. Bruner and Theo. Buer
baum were elected Secretaries; J. W.
Rumple, Esq., then offered the following
resolution, which was adopted :
Be it Rewired: That it is the sense of
this convention that all persons allowing
their names to be pre suited to it
and therein voted upon are pledged to
abide its action;
That it is made th,e duty of any candi
date for democratic nomination to an
nounce his in ten t ion to violate the action
of this convention, in the event of his un
successful candidacy, before he permits
his name to be placed in nomination and
voted upon.
D. R. Julian then moved that the con
vention proceed by nominating the county
officers first, which, after a 'brief discuss
ion, was adopted.
The chair then directed the Secretary
to call the roll of townships, and finding
all represented, announced that the con
vention would proceed with the nomina
tions, beginning with the county repre
sentative in the lower house of the
Legislature. The Secretary was reques
ted to call the roll of the townships, and
the chairman of the delegation from each
was requested to vote for the choice of
the township. The result of the ballot
was : Overman 88, Sloan 12, and Stansill
4. Mr. Overman was declared the choice
of the convention. Maj. Stansill then
moved that the nomination be made
unanimous. Carried.

Bernheart 36. The chair declared Mr.
Arey the choice of the convention.

Davie. The chair ordered a call of the
roll of the townships, resulting as follows:
Shober 40, Hobson 21, McCubbins, (Sr.,)
4, Kluttz 20, Black mer 10. The chair an
nounced no election, and ordered a second
call of the roll. Before this roll call Theo.
F. Kluttz, Eaq., thanked the convention
for the complimentary vote which had
been made in compliance with the in
struction of the primary meetings, and
asked the delegates to consider them
selves no longer bound by instructions, as
he was not a candidate before the con
vention. Proceeding with the roll call
the result Was as follows: Shober 73,
Hobson 21, Blackmcr 10. The chair an
nounced Hon. F. E. Shober the choice
of the convention for the office of Senator.
On motion of Dr. Poole the nomination
was made unanimous.
The following resolution was then in
troduced by Kerr Craige, Esq., and was
unanimously adopted, as follows:
Resolved, That our fellow citizen, the
Hon. John S. Henderson, has proven
himself an able and faithful Representa
tive in Congress, and we hereby pledge
him our hearty and united support for

following resolution which was unani
mously adopted, as follows:

The Chair appointed a committee of

lian and Craige, to prepare a list of dele
gates to be submitted for the approval of
the convention; said list to be Rowan's
delegates at both the Judicial and State
con vent ions. The following list was sub

On motion it was agreed that all
Democrats attending the State conven
tion from Rowan be considered as dele
gates. On motion of J K Graham, a commit
tee, consisting of one representative from
each township, was appointed to confer
with Davie as to the Senatorial nomina
tion, with power to -call a meeting at
South River for such conference. The
chair appointed J K Graham, Jno Sloop,

Kestler, J J Newman, Dr L W Coleman,
J K Culbertson, W G Watson, W L

Rowan Davis, on this committee.
Col. F. E. Shober being called, made
a stirring speech, reassuring and eucour
aging to the Democrats, and contrasting
the present with former administrations.
He proposes to go into the canvass with
all the energy at his command. He ex
plained that he had not sought the nomi
nation, but that he felt, since it was so
flatteringly tendered him, he could not,
in justice to those who has so frequently
honored him, decline the nomination.
He made, as he always does, an able ad
dress. L. S. Overman was then called and
responded in his usual happy style. He
thanked the people for honoring himjthe
third time with their confidence as their
representative in the Legislature. He
reviewed the present situation under Mr.
Cleveland, as against the preceding ad
ministrations. He showed what a reform
er Cleveland was and told how much
had been saved to the people since the
advent of his administration. He prom
ised to be with Col. Shober when the
time comes to make the canvass of the
county, and to talk to the people when
they had more time to listen.
No further business the meeting ad
journed. JV

Charges Against Judge Montgomery.
Correspondent of the Charlotte Observer.
Judge Montgomery has asserted that if
it becomes necessary, to bring action
against a certain Life Insurance Company
to recover the amount of insurance on
the life of a citizen of Csvharrus county,
recently deceased, he would resign his
position as Judge to act as counsel for the
claimant of the insurance money.
I am attorney for the Insurance
Company and it will resist the claim on
just and perfectly legal grounds. The
action must be brought iur claimant to
recover. I can and will, if it becomes
necessary, substantiate Montgomery's as
sertion by the affidavit of a inost truthful
man.
If Judge Montgomery meant and spoke
the truth when he made said assertion,
he must soon resign his Judgeship, if
nominated at Lexington on August 4th,
and elected in November. If he does not
resign to serve as counsel in this action,
his assertion was false. The Judge can
take either horn of the dilemma he
pleases.
If he intends to fry to show himself a
man Ol trum v consiaer ii inning wiia
the people of the Eighth Judicial District
to ask them to nominate him for Judge
at Lexington on August 4th; when, if a
truthful man, he must resign; and, if he is
not a truthful man, he is not fit for the
position of Judge of the Superior Court.
If he keeps his word, and does resign
his Judgeship, he will be doing a gross
injustice to honorable members of the bar
of the Eighth Judicial District, someone
of whom will accept the nomination at
Lexington, will be elected and serve out
his term.
Since his appointment as Judge, acting
for the claimant in this prospective action,
Montgomery, on the 7th day of April 1886,
filled up the "notice and proof of claim"'
for claimant, which I hold in his own.
handwriting, and otherwise busied him
self about this cause of action just as a
regular practicing lawyer would do.
Maybe, in this though, he has private
reasons for his action. Still, I consider
it conduct unbecoming a Judge and one
being a candidate for the nomination for
that exalted onlce.
Despising aimoy mous communications
and writers, I am, respectfully,
Will G. Means.

The Mexican War Cloud.
MEXICAN TROOPS SURREPTITIOUSLY MOVED
IXTO PASO DEL NORTF.
El Paso, Texas, July 23. The excite
ment on iioth sides of the river, amoMC
j Mexican as well as Americ an?, hns been so
-
great that both governments have con
cluded, for the purpoiiaof -allaying it, to
conduct farther negotiations .without pab
licitv. Soldiers continue in large numbers
in Paso del Norte, Mexico. Thelecpj old
place wears a martialan air as it is poVsfblc
for such a relic of antiquity to araiine. jjk
In marked contrast to this nervous
exhibition of military power in Paso (del
Norte, and in contrast to the eager and
excited interest taken ia this international
question by the citizens of El Paso, is the
supremely calm demeanor of the Ur.iteti
States authorities at Fort Bliss, within a
few hundred yards of the hostile hills of
Mexico, on the other aide of the shallow
mountain stream that can be waded just
now with the greatest ease. To look at
Fort Bliss to-day nobody would imagine
that within one mile of it a hostile city
was bustling with armed men, breathing
vengeance against the "Americanos,"
Surreptitiously a train load of troops
from Chihuahua, that had been massed nd
announced Friday night aa being on the
way to Paso del Norte to increase the
Mexican army of observation, arrived there
at daylight Saturday j morning. There is
no knowledge as to how many more may
follow, as the Mexicans are adept in keep
ing intended military movements quiet and
dark.
Cutting is in jail at Paso del Norte. A
Mexican, named Medina, who insulted the
American consul's cleik, has been in the
same jail for that offense. It is well that
the impression of his imprisonment got out
at the time it did, as it helped materially
in allaying the excitement on the Teias
side of the river, which was just then at
lever heat. He was tried, found guilty of
creating a disturbance and fined.
Cutting was brought before judge Cks
tencda last evening and informed that his
case had become of spch national impor
tance lhat.it would have to be transferred
to the first district court, where sentence
would be pronounced at some future dafv.
Consul Brigham tried to learn when the
trial would take place, but he could get
no satisfaction. It Is now thought that
Mexico is determined not to give Cutting
up. It is rumored on the streets of Paso
del Norte that a train load of troops, with
a park of artillery, is approaching the city
from Chihuahua. The stiuation begins to
look very serious.

ly their complaints were only for the timf
relieved, or half ured-4-the remedy event

proceeds arc very numerous.
