' Organize and Work.
The Stsitcsville L imhmrk has
to say on the above subject :
this
bforth Carolina i a Democratic
State: there is no doubt about that.
It is more decidedly so to-day than it
ever was before, and with reason. One
reason is that we have a Democratic
President of such courage, breadth,
aVility and honesty that he commends
Iriinsclf to a people" who like these qual
ities, as Nortli Carolinians do, and in
popularizing himself he has added to
the popularity of his party. Another
reason is, that we have so dignified,
pure and economical State government,
that a careful, conservative people, such
sis North Carolinians are, will not con
sider a proposition to exchange it "for
one' by a party which has never done
them "anything but evil. No man can
give a reason why Cleveland should not
be re-elected; no mm can give a rea
son why Oliver Dockery should sit in
the Governor's chair; why the partisan
Republican lawyers of the State should
be converted into Supreme and Superi
or Court judge, and why a whitc-and-black
Legislature, composed of such
material as the Republican party usu
ally offers tathc people as law makers,
should be invited to Raleigh to over
turn the existing order ot things (a?
they jproKise to do) and send Republi
can politicians pcriiaps democratic
herters to Washington to take the
scats I of Ransom and Vance. Out
pepledq not usually move without
reason, and as tnere is no reason liranv
of these things they will not a ctively.
help, ta do them.
But they can help negatively. We
have said that the sentiment of the
State is more decidedly Democratic
than ever before, and so it fs; but sen
timent does not carrv elections. If we
sit down and. say, "Cleveland is a good
Presideut and ought to be re-elected,
and the government of North Carolina
ought by all meansto continue to be
administered by the party of the white
people saying so is well enough, but
it we continue to sit stui.it will not
contioc to oc so. We havt cot to
give effect to this sentiment. Fine
words butter no parsnips, and correct
opinions are of .no value except as they
are acted upon. V e have got to beat
it. t t.i? ! li ¬
me ivcnumicans asram mis rear: it
must be done; we cannot afford to fall
under their dominion again; but in
order to beat them we must give foice
to the convictions of our people. It is

(From oar regular correspondent)
; ' jWAsniXGTOS?, May 14, 18SS.
Mr. : Cleveland is i n glorious- good
humor these bright Spring days, and
he has god cause to be, for no docu
ment in he; history of ihis Govern
ment has! had such' cooddian immediate
effect p4n the people of j this country
as aid uwr ceieDriiieu message hi yon-
gress urging revenue rriuriu.
It is not yet six ! months since that
message was sent to Congiess, und in
stead of ithe democratic 5 party being
torn to flinders as the croitkers predict
ed, the pdrty is to-day marching in a
solid phalanx to the music ofrevenue
reform, jbtate after btate as they hold
their convention join in the grand
chorus and 'ere long the
glad tidings
will be echoed from the
Atlantic to
the Pacific and from the Gulf of Mex
ico to the dominion of Canada. -
But eteu this bright r:cti n has a
sombre side, caused by shadows thrown
from a group of democratic members
who, umfer.the badership of Mr. S.tm
uel llandall, of Pennsylvania, have
mutiniedr against the Administration,
atjeast in this matter. This group is
growing smaller and smaller, however,
unit Mipii nnHSMtnents are becrinninr?
to bs heard from. Already one of them
has beeii defeated for renomination
solely pnl account of his opposition to
the Mills tariff bill, and more of them
will go the same way unless they come
into the jarty lines while there is yet
time to retorm.
- A bill has been introduced into the
House to erect a monument in this
city to the memorv of Gen.. W. S
Hancockl and the bill will go through
this session, if it is overlooked in the
hurry and excitement of national con
ventions land much more that is con
nected with the Presidential campaign.
The republican Senators who are
members of the Judiciary committee
are in nolhurrv to make a report on the
nomination of Mr. 'Fuller for chief
Justice of the United States. Still the
report will be all right when it is made,
because they can find no reason for its
beiug otherwise, and as the Supreme
Court adjourned to-day until next Oc
tober, there is no particular hurry
about the confirmation.
Owing to the large number of mem
bers who are down for speeches on the
Mills tariff bill, it has been definitely
settlad tp continue the general debate
until Saturday the 19th, inst inclusive.
At a caucus of the democratic members
it was decided that all democrats pro
posing to offer amendments to tbe bill
should sjubmit them to the democratic
member of the Ways and Means com
mittee fpr consideration and report to
another baucus to be held this week.
Mr. Randall, gave notice that he
would not be bound by caucus action
on this question.
A large number of amendments have
been submitted to the committee in ac
cordant with the above, and Saturday
afternoon was spent in considering
them and in hearing the statements of
the 1 gentlemen who proposed thm.
No decision has yet bee arrived at by
the corabiittee, but it is probable that,
they will report in favor of some
amendments to the bill, in the interest
of 'party?-harmony. The final passage
of the bill is still doubtful owing to
the stubborness of the Randall demo
crats. I

One 0f the ablest speeches yet made
on the tariff was on Friday last by
Congressman Scott, the millionaire of
Erie, Pennsylvania. Mr. Scott is a
member! of the Ways and Means com
mittee;! a confidential friend of the
President, and the owner of large coal
mines aud iron manufactures. For
these different reasons his speech was
attentively heard. He made a strong
argument bnstlemg with figures and
facts inifavor of the bill and in conclu
sion said; We are here, sir we, the
