is great danger that the
Democratic" party will be de
feated in the national election
"7,
'There
; because , of being too sanguine
of " success.'1 Throughout the
country' the cry comes up that
Blaine i so weak that 'we will
have no trouble in defeating
him, and that we can elect any
ticket we nominate, mere is
a false feeling of security in
our ranks, and unless it gives
rAar.Pt to honest work and a
steady purpose to win on the ,
right principles, our nominees ;
will be defeated in November.
It is not wise to underestimate
the strength of Blaine. He is
not, we believe, so strong a can
didate as Hawley or Gresham
or Harrison would have made,
but he is not the weak candi
date he is represented to be.
Blaine is a man '. of acknowl
edged ability and shrewdness.
We doubt if he has an equal in
the United States, in these two
respects. He is also .unprinci
pled, and would not hesitate or
scruplejat anything which would
advance his interests. He is a
' wire-puller, a schemer, a trick
ster. It was Blaine, more than
any other twenty men, who se-
cured Garfield's election, and he
has been during all the years
since the war the most popular
and successful of Republican
leaders. It was Blaine , who
controlled the Republican Con-
- gress until 1875, when the Dem
ocrats came into power. It was
Blaine who prevented Grant
from having a third term, al
though the old leader wag sup
ported by Conkling, Cameron;
Logan and the majority of Re
publican . statesmen. It was
Blaine who inspired enthusiasm
into the ranks in 1880 when the
hopes of Garfield and Arthur
had flagged. It wasBlainjawho
was the master spirit of .Gar
field's administration, and it was
Blaine who would have plunged
us into war with some' foreign
power if he had remained in
tie cabinet. ; ', It wa$ Blaine who
managed the great land steals
by which the railroads obtained
, thousands of acres of , valuable
land for nothing., It was Blaine
who led the party into excesses
of extravagance and corruption.
It was Blaine- who has, more
than ariv other man, 1 controlled
the Republican party since the
war, and the present corruption
of that partv is due more to
hiin than any other man. He
is an unscrupulous man, arid his
great ability and cunning have
enabled Mm to ; out-general the
other Republican leaders and
have made him the idol of the
masses of his party. .! . -
The true secret of Blaine's
popularity is that he is no' bet
ter than his party. The Repub
lican party, as a party, does not
desire a reform in the adminis
tration of government aiid as
Blaine's record clearly, shows
that he is opposed to every kind
of reform, he is in entire har-
rrionv with the great body of
his party. There may be, now
'and then, a man like Geo. Vm
Curtis, who desires the purifi
cation of his party, who will
'hot support Blaine, ahd we be
lieve there are enough .' of . this
kind of Republicans to defeat
Blaine in New ' York. It is
hardly probable, however, that
tli is sentiment will prevail to
anv large extent in any other
State ';
Blaine is almost impregnable
in the Pacific States, where his
record on the Chinese question
has won for hi m great populari-
. ty. In Ohio he has a large fol
i lowintr bsth on his own account
and that of Jiis. intimate associ
atlon with Garfield. 1 1 is said
that' his record on the Irish
question has made . him friends
among the Irish and that he
can carry' more Irish votes than
anv other Republican candi
date. In addition to these ele
ments of strength the facts that
his friends and supporters are
enthusiastic and earnest in
Iheir support and that he wag
nominated by the people and
not by the office-holders add to
his strength. The revolt of
some of the leaders and leading
Republican newspapers will
have its influence against him,
but not' to such an extent as
.some of our Democratic friends
rsnppose. The enmity of Grant
tmi Arthur and Conkling and
.other leaders will also tend to,
vweaken Blaine's prospects. In
.the South he has not the ghost
.of a chance. He cannot carry a
single Southern State. He can
jiot cwry New York, Indiana,;
New Jersey, Delaware or Con
necticut, -Without .these or
fme of them he cannot be
elected. His canvass will be
the most enthusiastic, we be
lieve, that we have seen in these
latter days. Blaine, it is said,
will take the stump in Ohio,
New York, New Jersey andoth
er doubtful States. ' lie may
come to North Carolina. He is
immensely wealthy and' has
:many devoted friends who have
- ample means. With a brilliant
if ranvass and plenty of money it'
h-is foolish to say that he will be
! aay to beat, and that the.Dem-
ocrats will have a walk over.
We believe he will be beaten
and by a good majority but it
will only be done by nominat
i ng good men, ; declaring for
sound Democratic principles,
and workinsr without Cessation
until the seventh of November.

In selecting
the office of iS
f: "r lu
dent one 6tle
chief oualificav1tlie yistlpm shows in the nom-
tions to be s6u2Mris that-rfe
should be a man capable of ex-j
citing and keeping up an inter- --
est. in education. Our people ! Senator Vance has -ubmitted
need stirring up on this subject hi minority report in the mat
aqd tbet woipcpf fdoijng that is, ! ter of the Danville Riot. The
it seems to k; about the prin- j report describes the riot from
cipalfrad ra,ont tmiwirtant -ireifr t-feta-ndpxuai of tha minority
of the Superintendent. Almost
any man can easily, do ihe cler
ical work of . the office, but to
awaken and foster and maintain
a lively and energetic interest
in the public schools of the
State issomething that few men
can do. The Superintendent
should be not only, posted on
the most improved methods of
instruction and versed in mat
ters affecting the public school
system, but, above and beyond
all, he should be able to excite
a desire in the minds - of the
people for more and better edu
cation: Having done this the
field will be open for utilizing
what may be best in the modern
methods of ' education. New
and improved methods will be
useless unless we first learn ; to
appreciate the end , to which
they are the means. v Where we
are to find a candidate! having
tne quaimcations , here men
tioned we are unable to say, but
we jiave d fev men in the State;
who, if they could be induced
to accept the office; would ex
cite such an interest .in educa
tion as would result in building
up a school system of which we
should be proud.
All that we need is that our
people should see the impor
tance of acting in the ' matter,
and when our constitutional
slowness is once overcome, .the
taxes wilj be cheerfully paid, a
pride in onr schools will spring
up and. education will rapidly
and safely advance. ; ;
We believe that the Superin
tendent is now the most im
portant officer that we are call
ed on to nominate, and it would
be a serious mistake' to place in
nomination ..a man who ' could
not tir would not excite interest
in this most important .of, our
State enterprises. Not a mere
school man, for the ability that
enables a man to preside : suc
cessfully over the affairs of a
single schodl is not necessarily
the sort of ability that would
make him a successful Superin
tendent oi public schools of the
State ; hot a mere schplar, no
matter how rrofound and ex
tensive his leaniiug; and by no
means a professional politician
who seeks the office as . a step
ping stone to further political
preferment, is the sort of man
to select.. -
- A Manly Letter.
The letter of Samuel J. Tilden
published on our first page de
clining to allow his name to go
before the National Democratic
convention, has the ring of true
manliness in it. Its style is
like everything that comes from
the sage of Grammercy, plain,
.simple and direct, and its senti
ments do honor alike to the
head and the .heart of the re
tiring statesman. The political
course of Tilden has been one
of the most remarkable of the
century. His conduct in Slate
affairs as Governor of New York
to which office he was elected
as a reformer,' fixed upon ' him
more emphatically tlian upon
any other mail of our time: the
title of reformer. The work he
did in New' York was. such as
no man who was hot heartily
sick pf corruption s in his own
party1 and out of 'ft, 4 kndHrho
did not bring to the work i?reat
business qualifications enthused
by a patriotic regard for honest
government,4could have done,--He
hunted .down the rascals
and had them punished. ; There
was under his administration no
such farces 'as the Star -Route
trials. He tiiaok no plunder of
the'plunderers, but with an eye
single to the punishment of the
guilty men who had been for
years robbing . the' 'treasury, he
prosecuted them' vigorously,
hand they received , the. punish
ment they justly merited,, the
leader of : the infamous; gaug
dying while suffering-the. im
prisonment imposed upon him.
And it is an upirtion very -generally
entertained that had Til
den been at the head of the
United States Government the
Star Route trials would have
had a termination far different
from this disgraceful and farci
cal conclusion which has
shocked the moral sense f the
whole people.
There is everywhere a feeling
of regret that the infirmities of
age compel him to decline an
honor whih the people with
almost perfect unanimity were
waiting to conter upon him.
All honor to the noble old pa
triot. May he be long spared
to his country! .
F. A. Woodard. Esq.
The nomination of this sren-
tleman for Congress in the. Sec
ond Congressional District is a
recognition of unselfish tind
patriotic services ' rendered to
the Democratic party in e'verj
campaign since he attaii'ied his
majority. No man. in the dis
trict, we are safe in asserting,
has given more time and labor
to carry forward the Democra
cy than F. ,A. Woodard Esq:,
and no Democrat is more
worthy of promotion' than he.
Of course there is no probabili
ty of his election, bnt his hb'h
character, his devotion to prin
ciple, his unswerving allegiance
to the cause of the Democracy,
and his force oa the stump, will
bring ouK the full Democratic
vote and pnpve of great value to
the paity. 1 Mr. W oodard is an
aggressive and foreible speaker
and on theliusting3.willdo val-
i lent service in the cause of De
mocracy. His

as merely a local affair, not re
lating to a conspiracy. 1 It en
ters at length into the history
of the lawlessness of mobs in
Northern cities--, dwells upon
crimes of violence at the North,
refers to thej Cincinnati riots,
the Tewksbnry alms house in
vestigation in Massachusetts,
i the. killing of inoffensive ne-
Krues in jsew iorK ana oiner
Northern States, and suggests
that an investigation into these
matters would be as proper a
subject of Congressional inqui
ry ag the investigation of the,
killing of four negroes in Dan
ville. '
If Biaine should be elected it
is more . than probable that
Mott's influence with the ad
ministration will be at an end,
and that Dockery will be the
NOrfh Carolina Boss. At the
Chicago : convention Dockery
was the only North Carolina
man Who voted for Blaine on
the first three bi llots. For this
devotion.it is thought Blaine
will reward Dockery i!" b" talre
his seat.' -
The New York Times, in a
leading editorial, favors Gov.
Cleveland, of New York, as the
Democratic Candidate for Presi
dent, with Senator Bayard as a
strong second choice. The
Times thinks either of these
gentlemen would draw largely
from the Republican and inder
pendent vote. The New York
Evening Post also strongly en
dorses Gov. Cleveland as the
mos.t available man the ' Demo
crats can present.
rThisj is an enterprising age,
and the press is progressi ve, es
pecially the city press. The
New York Herald published a
telegraphic report of Henry
Watterson's speech at the Chap
el Hill comnfencement, pro
nouncing it "a masterly effort."
It turned out that Watterson
was too unwell to speak, and
did not attend the commence
ment. The tariff plank of the Re
publican platform just adopted
at Chicago, seems to attract
more attention than any other,
ahd has been pretty universally
discussed. It is an effort to be
on all sides of the question, and
taken in splinters will, suit the
protectionist- and free trader,
as well as the revenue reformer.
It is all things to all men, that
it may catcb otes.
Moses inay have made mi:
tates, but certainly none, equal
to that of Bob Ingersoll, who,
eight years ago, pronounced
Blaine to be "the grandest com
bination of heart, , conscience,
and brain beneath the flag," and
now finds that ha cannot .say a
word in his favor. "Bob" must
have lost the key to the com
bination. (-'apt. Wm. A. Darden's
friends, and we are-proud to be
numbered among them, think
that hi chances for nomination
for Auditor are "good."

Darden.
Col. '. Thomas S. Kenan will
probably be renominated for
Attorney General next Wednes
day. He has made an excel

cannot better honor itself than
by nominating Col. Kenan.
The Democratic National con

July 8th. On that date the man
