One time my old darkey who was a Methodist was given to falling from -ce was overtaken by a fault the ahabe of a bottle of ia.-ky and he went to sleep the sidewalk and woke up 111 the calaboose.

That's a good sign. A man who can mannage and control 150. children is no sardine. Hurrah for Moses. Oa the , whole I dont" feel so very bad. The Fa rme-s Alli ance of : Louisiana has choked off the lottery and that's a good sign. - The lawyers would ent do it, nor the bankers, and bam Jones says -the preachers wouldeut. Hurrah for the far mer! Old lather Haynie says they are not going to hurt me. He lives on . the road that I used to travel, and his well is in the front yard, and that's a good sign be dont hide his water. Old man Fbelps wa the friendliest man I ever saw and his well was close to the front . gate, and he had a trongh outside- so - that you could water your horse, and hi3 apple orchard was close by and he dident like it if vou dident stop and drink and eat aud water your horse. Father Haynie says if I had stuck to the farm they would have ele vated me about this time, i Yes, t; reckon they would. They made me overseer of the public road -while I was a farmer. He says -i f I wil 1 move back they'll elect me constable. Thanks! But the skies are brightening -the clouds are clearing away. If we can make peace with the north it will beat every thing else. I wont care a cent abotit party if we can have peace and be friends. I would be williDg to sleep two in a bed with a re publican if he was friendly to ns. They write me all sorts of letters from up there, and I bes lieve they are getting friendly. I got three today one from a New York democrat, who says we made a great mistake in threatening the boycott, for it has defeated the Lodtre bill with its bayonet clause; that we should have let them pass it, and it would hive killed the re publican party so dead it vouldent even have- a irhost. Another lotter is fronl an In diana man who says: "God bless Bill Arp. His philosophy is cutting but it is souud. I The force bill is an infamous ( out rage and we dou't blame you for-the threatened boycott.' I am a northern man ana a. re publican but-I say "God Ibless you. tilt ttiem again." The third letter was from a negfo a colored man and he writesjust like-white folks. He writes from Markham, I Va., and says: "I speak for myself a.ndmy people. We desire our white friends of the south to know that we want no force bill .thrust upon us. It will prove our greatest curse. For it will stir up strife and our race will be thevvictims. Our true frlenls are the southern whites. There is no race prob lem between them and us, and never will be if the north will let ns alone. We had long since found out that the north cares nothing for us. ve are in the eoutu to stay, and are doing well. What is uood for the white people of the south is good for the negro and if it takes a boycott to kill tbe force bill our people will join you itv it. Your obedient servant. "J. L. Saunders." " Well I reckon the force bill is dead, but the animus, the malice, the venom that inspired it is not dead. They say that Blaine gave it a black eye and that he kicked the Win IF bill in the pit of the stomach, aud we say hurrah, for Blaine. I'll hurrah for any body who proves himself a friend and an honest statesman , I dont care what party he belongs to. The fact Is, I havent got any party now except a southern party. 1 chopiny stove wood and have a right smart 'tater patch, but Tom Lyon says that wont let me in. He says I. must raise some cotton to put In the al liance warehouse that the gov- ernment is going to build. But Zachariah says it is all j right and Livingston says it is all right if I behave. Now, please tell me how long an outsider must behave before he ran get his naturalization papers and 'be somebody. ! I would like to get back into the party if Vm fitten. But still the alliance treats me very kindly. And some of them hauls me wood just the same as ever and takes my silver dollar as kindly as he. used to. Old Father Haynij says 4ie will sell me corn and fodder at the town price.' Livingston asked me if Dr. Felton was going to ran for congress against Everett. I said I dident kuow. Then he said if the doctor runs he would be tbe worst beat man that ever ran in the state of Georgia. "I'll come np there and take a hand in that fight myself," said he. 'Wouldent that be. fun. Our boys want to see it. The farm ers have made splendid crops and they are in a fine hnmor, and we all want to see some fun. The doctor is a farmer and a patriot jast like Everett, and so the general verdict it, "Let 'em fight, let 'em fight." . Bill Arp. . TKTTEB CUBED Bi S. S g. n l 1 used Swift's Specific B.

He made an earnest, eloquent and telling speech in which he dwelt upon the JmPrtance of the work before the conven tion. There was no schism in the Democratic party, and there was not going to be. There was no faction. The agitation which was being made by a large partf of the Democratic party in the State was not factional and wySbtpgOtng: to be factional.

Resolved, That the Demo cracy of North Carolina reaf firm the platform and princi ples of the Democratic party, both state and national, - and particularly favor" the free coinage of silver and the repeal of the internal revenne system. And we denounce the McKinley tariff bill as unjust to tbe con sumers of the country, aud pro motive of the trust?, combines and monopolies which have oppressed the people; and especially do we denounce the unnecessary and burdensome tax on cotton ties, and on tin, so largely used by the poorer portion of the people. We likewise denounce the iniquitous Lodge bill, whose purpose is to establish a second period of reconstruction in the Southern States, to subvert the liberties of our people and in flame a new race antagonism and sectional animosities. And we denounce the tyrannical action of Speaker Reed and his abettors who have changed the Federal House - of Representa tives from a deliberative , body into a machine to register the will of a few partizan leaders. Resolved, That we demand fi nancial reform, and the enact ment of laws that remove the burdens of the people, relieve the existiukf agricultural de pression and do full an-1 ample justice to the farmers and labor ers of - our country. w Resolved, That the Democra cy of North Carolina take a just pride in the able and patriotic course of their Senators and Representatives in Congress touching the " great public questions, that have been before them for action, and especially do we appreciate the great abili ty and zeal of Senator Vance in protracted contests on the tariff question which reflect honor rand credit alike on him and on the State' of -North Carolina and we cordially commend his re-election to the United States Senate by the next general As sembly of North Carolina, and we commeud the wise aud sat isfactory administration of our State officers. WHF.ttXAS. file -eauctttluii - of the people is' essential not only to individual happiness and prosperity but also to the maintenance of civil and relig ious liberty, - v Resolved, That next general Assembly of North Carolina is requested to increase the fund for the maintenance of Public Schools. kesolved, urtner, tuat ,we favor the abolition of National banks, and tbe substitution of legal tender Treasury notes in lieu ot National hank notes, issue in sufficient volume to do the business cf the country on a cash system, regulatiug the amount needed on a per capita basis as the business interests of theN country expands, and that aU money issued by ce government shall be legal, teu -der in payment . of all debts, both public and private." That we favor that Congress shall pass such laws as shall effectually prevent the dealing in futures of all agricultural and mechanical produc lions, preserving a stringent system of procedure in trials as shall secure . the prompt . conviction, and imposing such penalties as shall secure the most perfect compliance with the law. That we favor the . free and ; : r . , , 11 ,7" ' ' unlimited coinage of silver. That we favor the passage of law prohibiting the alien own ership of land, and that Con gress take early stops to devise some plan to obtain all lands now owned by alien and foreign syndicates, and that all lands held by railroads and other corporations, iu excess of such as is actually used and needed by them, be reclaimed by the government and held for actual settlers now. Believing in the doctrine of "equal rights to all, and special privileges to none," we demand than taxation, National and StateBhall not be used to build up one interest or class at the expense of another. '.We' believe that the money of the country should be kept as much as pos sible in the hands of the people, and hence we dejmanrt that all revenue, -National, State, or county, shall be' limited to the necessary expense of the gov ernment economically and hon estly administered. That Congress' issue a-suf-ficient amount of fractional currency t facilitate exchange through the medium of the United States mail. EX GOV- JAfiVIS- What He Said Before the Democratic State Convention. "1 appreciate very muchjl am sure, the call you have made and the kind manner in which the convention has received the call. It is the first oppor tunity I have had of assemb ling with the Democratic con vention for six years, and I am sure I appreciate the opportu- nity. I need not state to you that 1 regard the Democratic party a3 the guarrinn, preserv er, and promoter : i !9 peace and prosperity of S rih Caro lioo, and I was very glad to hear the gentlemen who have already spoken announce so confidently that there is no division or bicksrinsr within the rauks of . this grand old party. It was no move than I expected or believed, but I know they have had better op portunities than I have. While there are no biefcerings or jealousies within the party at present, it behooves us gentle, men.iu the action we shall take to day to see to it that ws .give no cause, however small, for any jealousies or bickerings in the future. You and I well know that the way is open to us for an easy campaign this year. We also known that two years from now we are to commence a. campaign and cou duct it to either to success or failure, which shall involve the vital interests of the Sta'e we love and the State we so love to serve, we need noi suuc our eyes to the fact that a large per cent, of the population of our State; that a large per cent. of the population of our State that do the voting; that a large per cent, of the population -of our State that do the work.that make the wealth, th?.t brings prosperity, and builds up our j cities, we know, are demanding to be heard. .They are as true and devoted to the best inter ests of North Carolina as you or I. I say it is wise in us, in all of our councils, in all our acts, upon all our committees our State executive committee and our district executive commit tees it is wise in us to see that these people are not only heard, but that not one of them shall have the pretext of saying that he was not fully beard. I think that if this convention, in forming our executive com Imittee and in qts's lu machinery or pur party, Dy which we are to go to battle this yearand under which we are to commence two years hence, will put these sugges tions into practical operation we will avoid even the possi bility of bickering in the fu ture. I recall an incident that hap-, pened the first year I com menced to make a political speech- We were down on -the banks, now what is Dare coun- iy. 1 was men out a suuuut boy, but was engaged . in the effort of making a Democratic I speech. There was opposed to me in the discussion on that day a man who has attained to somewhat cf distinction in North Carolina politics, in late years, as a Republican. He had made his speech ana 1 was. replying to him, and I think I was getting the better of him, as I think I have had the plea&ufe of doing some of these Rfirttiblicans in vears since. A frieud of his sitting near com menced asking questions, try-" ing to interrupt me, when a poor Chiistian, hard4 ominon sense minister of the gospel; belonging to the Primitive Baptist church, who was sitting near by. had stood ' the iuter- 1 ruptions as long as he had felt comiortabie unrer, ; pulled off his coat and laid it down on the ground and said : ."Lay there. oiaixenuKee- Baptist u until , I whip Will Patnckj and fmake him ; behave , himself." Now, what I would have, the, Demo crayc party, do to-day,, is that J our. Alliance friends, our law yers, our doctors and our mer chants I do not care under what avocation of life or what their professions may be come into the, ; Democratic conven tiou, pull of . their coats and say lay. there Alliance, lawyers, j uociors ana merchants until we have whipped this radical party and make them behave. r , While, gentlemen, ; we , have but to. remember, and our memories surely are not so short but that we can remem-i ber, that -it was only : twenty years ago that is a ehort time, and there is no one in this room that. does not . remember it that we began , to wrest ; . the power from a party that r had, despoiled North Carolina, that i had imprisoned our citizens and hadtrampelled her Consti tution beneath their unhallow ed feet. I say that it was f only twenty years ago that wen be gan to wrest power from that party. Year af teryeai. we: went on holding the power we had taken and increasing it at each election until in 1876, fourteen years ago, under the leadership of that grand man and superb statesman, Ztb Vance.: fCon- tinned applause. -- i nee c that time, my.friendt, North Caro Una has been sifely housed within the heaven of Demotra cy. reace and prosperity i' has come within her borders,: and from Vance to Fowle, no man, can say but what every citizen of Nortb -Carolina has t not been protected under wise laws justly administered. Surely our memories are not so short or so treacherous that we i can forget these thiius, aud remem bering them surely we will not bis guilty of dividing the party upon whose councils and whose administration the prosperity of North Carolina depends," The Alliance is ConseivathJ- V bad a long and earnest talk i-43t week, wiiu an intelligent, shrewd Democratic delegate to tbe State Alliance concerning the uixler snrreut and drift of sentl ment thai In- wiscovemi among Aliiancemen at Ashevilb The re sult of tbe ui-tfi view wa eminently satisfactory, and we were as sured that uoneivaim aud pat riotism characterized ; he proc eti ings and coumiIhi un, public, private, official and unofficial.
