The Republicans are sending a large number of negroes to North Carolina from Washington city to vote the Republican ticket. They are to le sent to sparsely settled sections. Let Democrats be on the lookout' for these rascals and thwart their plans. There are in this State abouti 40,000 men who do not go to the polls. The probabilities are that eight out of ten of these would vote the Democratic ticket if they voted at all. Let them be brought out in November and York will will be buried clear out of sight. Kinston "Press:" Some man over in Greene county, we learn, wanted to know how Blaine and Cleveland stood on the "no fence" question, and what the platform of the National Democratic and Re publican parties said on this sub ject. It is astouishiug how much importance some of the Republican office holders attach to the tact that Cleveland was once a sheriff and as such hung two men. They must be afraid that if he is elected President he will fall into some of ' his old habits. j Walter P.

The Republicans have drawn the color line truly in Jones county. The nominee for the House of Rep resentatives is an incompetent, ignorant negro.

Blaine Organizes A Sectional paign In Indiana.: Cam- Blaine spoke at Fort i Wayne, Indiana October 2th. He said : "Citizens of Indiana :"V The October elections in Ohio and West Virginia have put a new, phaso on the national contest or rather they have reproduced an old phase. The Democratic party, as of old, consider now that 'they have a solid Synth again. They believe that they will surely get lf3 electoral votes from sixteen Southern States, and then they expect, or they hope "or. they dream that they may secure New York and Indiana, and that with New York and Indiana added to the solid South they will seize the government, of the) nation. They can't do' it. I do not believe that fanners, business man, manuTaetii re:s, merchants, mechanics, and last of all and most of all, I don't t believe that the soldiers of Indiana can be put to that use. I do not believe that the men who added lustre and renown to the name of your State through '' four "years of bloody war can be used to call into the administration-of the govern ment men who organized the great rebellion. In the Senate of the United States the Democratic party have :7 members, of which number .2 come from the South. Of their strength in the House of Representatives the majority comes from the South, ami now the in tention is, with an absolutely solidified electoral, vote fr nn the South, added to the votes Of the two States I nave named, to seize the government ot the Union. "That means a great deal ; it means as t tie tsoutu furnishes three fourths of the Democratic strength it will be given the lead and control of the; natiou in the event of a Democratic triumph ; it means that the great financial and industrial systems of the country shall be placed under the direction of the South ; that our currency, our banks, our tariffs, our internal revenue laws, in snort mat our whole system upon which the busi ness of the country depends, shall be placed under the control of that section. - . "To give them the control would mean a change the like of which has not been known in modern times. It won LI be as if the dead Stuarts were recalled to the throne of England, as j if the Bourbons should be invited to administer the government f the French re public; as though the" Florentine dukes should be called back and empowered to govern the great kingdom of Italy." Still Pitching Into Blaine. We believe the political career of Mr. Blaine to begone of the worst in the history of our gov ernment, and upon moral as well as upon political grounds we de cline to leud the influence of the "Weekly" to his support. We deeply regret being forced Into this attitude to the Republican uomiuee. From its beginning, our allegiance to Hie party has been unbroken, and every vote it has been our privilege to cast lias been for its candidates!; but to support for the presidency a mau convicted out of his own mouth of prostitut ing for gain the public trusts con fided to him is a tax to which we cannot submit. Simultaneously, the leading religious papers of the country have taken the same atti tude as the "Weekly," and that they lenieseut the opinion of a laige number of the best men iu the churches there can be uo j-doubt.

T . , 1 NEW OKR .iayiAA iv I don't think we outrht to feel discouraged about the Ohio elec tion, Ohio has given large Re publican majorities ever since the war. New York and Indiana are what we are banking on. I have faith in those states. The papers sav that the republicans sent a million of dollars to Ohio to buy twenty thousand votes, and it did buy them. I am glad that our party dident spend much money there. But it was a grand sight to see Hendricks, and Tliurmaii, and Bayard, and Randall and Voorhees pitting brims1 against, money. I am proud of our demo cratic statesmen, proud of their ability, and their party. The re publicans can't name live such men. fhey haveut got them. Just think of their standard bearers, Blaine and Logan. I feel ashamed that I ever wrote a. .good word for Blaine. But I dident know then the manner of man he was. His record was smothered. Mr. Beech er set him up about right when he said that he was a brilliant, cor rupt and audacious man. Mrs. Felton kuows all about him, f.r she was iu Washington when his villiau.y was exposed. The letters she wrote for the 'Costitutiou' over the signature of "Plaindealer" uii- masked the man and would have convicted him in any tribunal of justice. They were withering, and they made me ashamed of my country for giving such a man even the possibility of election to the chief office of the nation. 1 would not have alluded to Mrs. Felton as the author of those letter.-, but I see that Colonel Avery has written it already to the Chronicle at Augusta. Ami then there is Logau. Heaven help us at the south if lie ever gets in power. I had rather fall into the hands of Sitting Bull aud all his ibe. When I read about his call ing Mr. West a liar and spitting in his face because he accused him of trying to raise a regiment for the confederacy at the beginning of the war, 1 was reminded of some scripture. Peter got awful mad when he was accused of being in good company and he cursed and swore terribly and 'denied it. Why I reckon there are a thous and living witnesses to Logan's efforts to raise a confederate regi ment aud now it iusults him to be reminded of it. I wish old Abra ham Lincoln could have, heard him deny it, for old Abe bought him up with a brigadier's commission, and the men whom Logan had en rolled had to choose another colo nel down in Kentucky. This is history. Well, it is a sad picture for a patriot to contem plate 'Some rise by sin and souio by virtue fall." But if the nation caik stand it I reckon we can, and so I am not going to get sick and go to bed about it. 1 y m too busy with my own- concerns. If Blaine is elect ed there will be a congress to watch him, and we poor folks are in a good fix anyhow, for we have got nothing they want. I can sit iu my piazza and put my feet ou the banisters, I can still take com fort at home and frolic with the children. Politics can't rob us of pure- air and water and good health and food and shelter and raiment, and the communion with kindred and mends. So let her rip. Last night I helped the child ren with their lessous. The teach er told them that if they missed three words in the spelling they should stay iu at recess, so 1 had them to stand up and spell. Carl missed the very first word, and spelled "juror" juraw, and they missed sibyl aud cipher aud ser aph and a dozen more, but I was patient with them, and went over all the bard words with them sev eral times tor it is a powerf il strain on a young mind to remem ber these outlandish words. This morning I tried them again aud they did pretty well and I hope tuey wont oe kept in. 1 have not forgotten what a trial these eun ous words were to me and how a i some oi my scuooi aavs were a dark shadow over my young life. Not long ago I read a piece oil euucation written oy the superin tendent of Brooklyn, schools and it suited me. He said the tender brains of children were 'Packed too hard and too fast with study. It is just like training a boy to carry a rail when he is only strong enough to carry a handstick. Don't force a child to spell such words as trousseau, intaglio, hautboy, Gaelic, melee, chapeau, polyp, Ypsilanti, cuirass, cuish, zouave, gneiss, gargoyle, glyptic and oth ers like them. Grown folks can't spell half of them aud don't know the meaning of them either. And yet all these words are iu the first five pages of the book that has been prescribed and adopted by the board and if the teachers do not use them they get no benefit of the school fund. The old Web ster was good enough for us aud and it is good enough now. The book called Harvey's graded spell er ought not to be put in a child's hands. It is too .hard and too complicated. Webster began easy aud kept ou getting a little harder by decree., but this book berins hard and keeps so. It looks like ' strauge negroes have appeared in the author hunted all over the die-" j isolated country districts. Recent tionary for the most outlandish ! ly, a number of Republican mainl and uncommon words he could i gers formed a sub committee with find and left out all the common I headquarters in this city with the ones that children know the mean- 'avowed purpo.-; of manipulating ing of. I've been writing more or ; North Carolina. I learn, from a less for thirty years and never had t responsible source that this self occasion to use glyptic ucr gar-j constituted committee is sending irovle. nor cuish. nor intarlio , aud ' every ueirro they eairtiud to North I uever expect to. I don't know the meaning of them aud I don't waut to. But I reckon being a old fogy is my besetting sin aud so I will have Wilson "LET ALL THE EUDS THOU AITI'ST AT, BE THT COUNTRY'S. Wl LStiN. 1V0RTH CAROLINA, OCTOBER 31. 1884. to surrender and fall into line. But it is going to keep me and Mrs. Arp mighty bi.sy at night to keep Carl and Jessie from being kept in at recess. If I had studied this boos when I was their age I woiildeut Jiave. seen a it-cess in twelve months. I like spelling. It is a substantial accomplishment and recommends anybody for bus iness, but I wouldent go back on a young man because he couldent spell such words as Mr. Harvey has hunted out among the rubbish and put in his liook. But I sup pose this is progress, and it takes more learning to do this sienera- tion than it used to, and so they must be loaded heavier. Cobe wouldent take a long shot at a squirrel, for fear of straining his gun, but we must shoot now strain or uo strain. I was in hopes there would be a reform in spelling, and we would leave out all these si lent letters and save time. I don't see why nabor is not as good as neighbor, and plow as good as plough we have got rid of some things. I reiheinbor when z was called izzard and when the way to spell buzzard out loud was to b u izzard (buz) izzard a r d (zard) buzzard. Mrs. Arp says that when she was a child (that was a long time ago) an old-fashioned carpen ter was working for her father, and she wanted to nlav with the foot adze and the carpenter said she might if she eouM spell it. She tried several ways, but he said uo, that the way to spell adze was a d izzard e. But our little chaps are happy now. They go a mile and a half to school and carry their dinner and they eat some at the first re cess and the rest at noon, and come home hungry, ar.d ransack the cupboard and closet. I go out to meet tl em most every evening for their absence makes me loue some, aud 1 wish 1 was a boy again that I might go with them. I look forward to Saturday and Sunday as proudly as they do. Children are a great trial and a source of constant care and anxie ty, but they are a blessed comfort too. Bill Arp. Butler Denounced By His Supporters. THE REPUBLICANS PAYING THE! EXPENSES OF HIS CANVASS. Baltimore, Md., Oct. 18. The Butler movement jn Baltimore has gone to pieces. A few days igo a committee weut to New York to see the Butler managers to get him to come here and make a speech. They allege that the; were referred to the Republican National Committee, and told that body had charge of Mr. Butler's canvass. At the Republican head quarters they say the Committee were told that they had not enough money to send Butler to Maryland, and that the Stale was not close enough to warrant them making an effort here. To-day W. H. Parson, Chairman of the Na tional Greenback Labor Commit tee of Maryland, is out in a card denouncing Butler as a tricKster, and "we are forced to announce that General Butler is using us ami our party, and tnoe who sym pathize with the principles he as sumes to champion upon labor and finance solely for .the purpose of defeating Mr. Cleveland in New York, by withdrawing a sufficient number of voters, heretofore pern ociats, to secure its thirty-six elec toral votes for Blaine. The sinews of war used -by General Butlei's political managers arc furnished entirely (as claimed by them) by the National Republican Commit tee, who thereby control General Butler's movements and confine him to the States they dictate." Look Ont For Frauds. There are indications says the "Star" that the Radicals will at tempt to cany North Carolina by the same infamous methods they resorted to so successfully in 1872. In that notabl. year two thousand negroes were shipped from Wash ington and through the canal from Norfolk and distributed through out Eastern Carolina. Mr. White, a cultivated and worthy special correspondent of the New York "Tribune," who spent two months in Eastern Carobna investigating frauds, told us that he was fully satisfied that two thousand ne grocs- had illegally voted in that section. On the Northern border negroes were run into this State from Danville and erhaps other points. And so it was ou the Southern border. Doubtless mauy negroes from South Carolina were voted in this city and elsewhere along the border. That the Radical managers will capture North Carolina by fraud and "soap" is not to be doubted, if they can. That the attempt will beiiiade there is no doubt, we may believe. The Democrats are not enough stirred. They should be on the alert for the enemy is both very active and very unscrupulous. We have received the following I from a Washington correspondent: I ''Sam Johnson, a colored Dem ocratic officeholder here, and a ! former servant of Gov. "Vance, savs that North Carolina negroes I who have lived here at least twelve years without once return- j ! ing to their native State have been I 1 sent to North Carolina to vote at I the coming.-election. All the em-. ' ploy ee's under the Sergeaut-at-; Anns of the Seuate, Col. Wm. I P. Caunady, have gone to their i homes to work for the Republican I nominee. I bear from North Caro- ! Una. that a larire number of Caroliua to vote at the coming election. In the f ace of these facts the ballot Iwxes ought to be watch ed with the utmost vigilance, and every doubtful vote challenged." '-''' 4' '' POLITICAL POINTS; -::- WHAT THE POLITICIANS A RE TALKING ABOUT. THE POLITICAL CALDRON. Hon. Thos. A. Hendricks is billed for twenty speeches in the State of Indiana between this time and the election. He has never failed yet to carry the State when he wsis a candidate. Mr. McDonald, once the rival of Mr. Hendricks in Indiana, has put down all heart-burnings and is at work from morn till long after dewy eve. He is said to be a pop ular and effective campaigner. Mr. F. Morris, editor of the Pas saic (New Jersey) "Times," has hauled down the Blaine and Logan flag and has come out squarel for Clevelaud aud Hendricks. Oh, carry the news to Jeemes and Black Jack. - SAN Francisco, Oct. 20. John Mason, the leading brewer of this city, has decided u work and vote for the success of the Democratic National ticket. Mr. Mason has been one of the Republican pillars in San Francisco. Boston "Post." The campaign iu Indiana is very- hot. A special to the Philadelphia "Times" represents the Republi cans as having hone of carrying Indiana. The Democrats, we may add, are not without hope ot car rying Ohio. Mr. Rice, Democratic candidate for State Auditor, thinks Indiana will go Democratic. Iu the Hoffman House fast even ing ex-Congressman Miles Ross, of New Jersey, offered these bets, with out takers : $o,000 Cleveland cany Connecticut. $ 3,000 Cleveland carry New Jersey. $ 5,000 Cleveland carry New York. $5,000 Cleveland carry Iudiana. t5,000 Cleveland will be elected. New York "World Buffalo, Oct. 22.

A. Woodard, the Democrat ic nominee for Congress in this, the black district, is a man worthy of the fullest and strongest support of the Democrats of the district. He is one of our best and purest men and we hope he will receive the en tire white vote of the "black" dis trict. New York, Oct. 19. The nego tiations between typographical un ion No. 6 on one side, the manageis of the Republican National Coin liuttee and the New York 'Tribune" on the other, have come to a sud ueu termination, and m a way which will lose .James G. Blaine at least several thousand votes. Spe cial to Boston "Post." Indianapolis, Oct. 21. The partisan press is largely exaggerat ing the Blaine crowds. Where in Indiana 4,000 gather they are swelled into ten or fifteen thou sand, and where there are six or eight thousand they are made into 20,000. To-day there are probably .10,000 men in Indianapolis, but the Republicans hguie them at irom 100.000 to 165,000. N. Y'. "World."

Ormond, the Re publican nominee for sheriff, thinks Dr. York a very bitter pill to sup port. New York, Oct. 21. James D. Warren, chairman of the Republi can State Committee, . has been frantically telegraphing to Blaine asking him to come to INew York as soon as jiossible. Blaiue, how ever, has turned a deaf car to these appeals, and to-night it is said he will not re-enter New York State until the 28th and not reach this citv until Thursday, the 30th in st.-Charleston "News-Courier." New- Y'ork, Oct. 19. The revolt aarainst Blame among the Republi cans of this city and vicinity is in creasing daily.

Since the opening of the campaign we have dealt ex clusively with the Iudepeudents, ami I have no doubt that at least T.'t.uOO Remiblicaus will vote for Governor Cleveland directly.

The Great Campaign. UENF.RAL REVIEW OF THE PRESI DENTIAL CAMPAIGN. Washington, Oct. U4.- Special A review of the national cam paign is much easier to make now than at any preceding time in the canvass. The effect of the Ohio election in everj part of the Untou has been to encourage the Demo crats. It demonstrated that Blaine had no strength that was peculiar to him, bnt rather a peculiar weak ness. He not only did not gam votes for the Republican. State ticket in Ohio, but they ran far short of the corresponding rote four years ago. ; ' v New York, which before the Ohio election, was considered safe for the Democrats, then passed al most entirely beyond the range of conjecture, and is considered as sure for Cleveland. This almost universal conclusion was strength ened not only by the Republican falling back in Ohio, but also, and more especially, by . the unpre cedented demonstrations in New- York in favor of Cleveland. .There is not a Democratic politician in Washington who is not confident of New York. Well, this will settle it. But public interest centres next most actively iu Indiana, which is not so sure a State as New York ; aud it is there that the most , bitter light will be made for the next ten days. With New York and Indiana, the Democrats are- safe aud victorious. With New York certain to go for Cleveland, Indi ana is the fighting ground now for the Republicans. The uotorious process by which this State was carried tor uarneid is now re peated. And it is in Indiana that the two new ones ot wartare are adopted by the Republicans, not really new, but new in this cam paign. They are the recent rais ing of bloody shirt first by Blaine himself, and then by others all along the line: aud the obscene campaign work against Cleveland, winch it is now pretty conclusively proved is the work of the Republi can committee iu New York itself. The work doing is work chiefly of a quiet kind all over the Union The Republicans are having few great public meetings. .They are using the pension bureau and the wnoie reuerai patronage to in crease the vote in what thev con sider doubtful States. But every prominent Democrat here feels secure. Be sure that yon 5e5i8tere1i Attention White Men. Are you registered f If you are not and do not you cannot . vote next Tuesday.

If you have moved from one county to another this certificate is not necessary you are entitled to register with out it.

Letter From Go?. Cleveland. HE MAKES A PLAIN STATEMENT AS TO HIS LIFE IN ALBANY. Bev. Henry Ward Beecher, at a political meeting in Brooklyn, read the following letter from Gov. Cleveland in responce to a letter from Mrs. Beecher to that gen tleman : "My Dear Mrs. Beecher: Your letter, as you may well sup pose, has affected me deeply. What shall I say to one who writes so like my mothei t I say 'so like my mother,' bat I don't altoeether mean that, for she died in the belief that her son was true J and noble, as she knew he was du- ; tiful and kiud. j "I am shocked and dumbfound- ed by the clipping that yon send j me, because it purports to give what a man actually knows, and not mere report, as the other four or five lies do, which 1 have heard about my life in Albany. I have uever seen any living woman whom I have any reasou to sus lect was in any way bad. I do not know where any such woman lives. In Albany I have not iweu in any bouse except the mansion, the executive executive chamber, the First Orange Club House twice at receptions given, and ou, I think, two .other occasions, and th ruidenees of nerhaos fifteen or twenty of the best citizens, to ,iin n"rnrwP I have lieeu to O.nreh.

"I am at a loss to know how it is that such terriWy wicked and ut terly baseless lies cau be invented.

"As to my outwurd life in Buf falo, the maaifestatWui of confi dence and attachment which was there tendered me, must be proof that I have not led a disgraceful life in that city, aud as to my Ufa in Albany, all statements that tend to show that.it has been other than laborious and correct are ut terly and iu every shadow untrue." The Governor then refers to his desire for Mr. Beecher's good will, and asks that he. may see him while in Brooklyn at the late de monstration, then in prosective. There was loud applause when Mr. Beecher finished reading the letter. When it had died away he continued with much visihle emo tion: "When iu the gloom v night of my own sufferings in years gone by I sounded every depth of sor row, I vowed that if God would bring the day star of hope to me 1 would never suffer brother, friend or neighbor to go untrietided should a like serpent seek to crush him.

WHEREIN DEMOCRACY DIF- KERS FROM RADICALISM. THE CIVIL RIG.1TS BILL. r Do you think the negro is the equal of the while inanf If you do, vote the Ridical ticket. Ifyoa dou'f, vote the Democratic ticket. Are you willing Tor negroes to in termarry with white jeople In North Carolinut Aie you willing for your children to go. to school with. negro children? If you are, vote for the Radical. If yoii arc not, vote the Democratic ticket. Are you willing to live under iieV gro rulef If you 'are, be sur to vote the Radical ticket ; lor Dciik ocracy and negro rule don't run to gether in North Carolina. But. if you are uot. willing to live under negro government, ami think this is a white man's country, be sure not to let the Radicals ge; into jH)wer. If they do get iato Hwer, let white Democrats lookout! Less than two months ago, a deputy marshal, at th order of a rederal Commissioner, actually went into the very office of the Governor of Texas to arrest him while in the discharge of hisdutiea as Governor; and for whutt Be cause the Governor keut ut the penitentiary a negro who had beeu duly convicted of having married a white wife in violation of the Stata law of Texas which forbids negroes and white people . to intermarry! The deputy did not arrest the Gov. ernor only because somebody ad vised him that he was not the right deputy to do the ditty work, that he was outside of the territory in -.aft I t a which ne nau jiirisuiciiou J Think ot that! A Deputy Unit ed States Marshal attempting to arrest the Governor of a State be cause a negro was put In the peni tentiary tor marrying a white wilel . About this matter of negro equality the Radical party is ou one side and the Democrats are on the other. The Radical Chicago platfonn expressly declares in fa vor of legislation to secure all civil rights. What do Radicals mean bv this! Let Senator . Edmuuds' bill, now lie fore the United Statea Seuate, answer ! Senator Ed munds is from Vermont and an able lawyer. LI is bill proiMses to take every civil rights case from the State Court and tiausfer it to the Federal Court and requires the Judge to decide it In defiance of any State laws aud Constitution that may be in the way! If t his bill passes, our State law and our State Constitution forbid-' ding mixed schools and mixed mar riages will be as worthless as waste paper. Are you ready lor this white men of Ninth Carolina! If you are. vote for York and the whole Radi cal ticket, foi every ii.an on it stands on the Chicago platform and sustains Blaine. If von are not ready, for it, then vote the straight Democratic ticket. Dem ocrats "take no negro in theirs," while every man who joins the Radical parly is obliged to be "hale 11 II - am - . iciiow wen met wiin every negro, he sees and treat him as an equal. What a spectacle that was in Raleigh the other day in the Radi cal county convention! The white Radicals and the negro Radicals got to quarreling, and the negroes told their white brethren that they with Iihih :inil cowards nml ih. fessed to be quite ready to settle the difficulty iu any way the white gentlemen might wish!
