1 i: 11 ... . : i The Wilson Advance. Entered in the Post Office at Wilson, N. C, as second class mail matter. WILSON, N.C., - Nov. igth, 1891 Our Washington Letter came late for this issue. too ,The Lamp-Light, Dr. P. B. Loftin, editor, is new paper published at that live Pitt county town, Grifton. It is bright and spicy, and its adver tisements the best reading we have seen in many days. Col. Polk and Mr. John R. Web ster, editor of Webster's Weekly, have served notice on the Democra tic party that if Grover Cleveland is nominatedfor President next year they will not vote ior him. They are entirely too previous. Cleveland is not yet nominated. Messrs E. F. Young and G. K. Grantham have retired from the Dunn Times, and,Mr. W. G. Ivey, becomes editor. He is from Sumter, S. C, and has experience. The re tiring editors have run a good paper, one worthy of the support of the Harnett people. We cordially wel come Mr. Ivey to this section and trust he may abundantly realize that the lines have fallen to him in pleas ant places. Carolina should learn a lesson from this experience of the brethren of Kansas, and avoid tfce rock trpoa which they were wrecked. North Carolina is a Democratic State; a large, very large majority, of the Alliance in North Carolina are Dem ocrats. If they remain in the party they will hold the balance of power and can secure the nomination of men favorable to their just demands. If they desert the Democracy and fol low after strange gods they will find after the election next year that they have tailed and have lost whatever of influence they may have possed with both of the old parties, and there will be nunc so poor as to do them rev- ence." XEtf YORK PAPERS NEXT MORNING. Tlie Herald's Puerility and the Recorder's Gall What is Necessary for the Demo cratic Party 'in Order to Win Victory Next Year. DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES. There are many statesmen now talked of for tne Presidency in 1892. There are many availables. Under this head from week to week we shall give a sketch of the most prominent. Editor. CAMPBELL AND CLEVELAND." Ohio may present her Governor, Tames E. CamDbell. as worthy of consideration in this list. Campbell, while in congress, concerned himself conspicuously with the tariri, and was originally content to stand upon the rational platform of Samuel J. Ran dall and his school. Latterly he has taken a somewhat different view of the question. He is 48 years old, and was born in Butier county, Ohio, on July 7th, 1843. He was first a pupil, and then .a teacher in the com mon schools. He entered the navy in 1862, and remained in the service till 1864, then he resumed the study of the law, which had been interrupt ed by the war, and he began to practice in Hamilton in 1865. In 1873 and 1875 he was elected Prose cuting Attorney of this county. In 1882, 1884, and 1886 he was sent to Congress. He possesses amazing magnetism, and has been called the most popular man in Ohio. He is handsome also, and so active that his campaigns, when running lor an office, have stirred the people as few other men have ever been able to stir them. JNo well-inlormed person needs to be told how splendidly he beat Fire Alarm Foraker three years ago, or what an able fight he has just unsuccessfully finished for re-election to the Governorship. Orover Cleveland is another can didate, and the biggest one, physi cally, among them all. He is now "54 years old, having Ifeen born in Cald well, N. J., in 1837, the son of a Presbyterian clergyman whose pulpit oratory seems at times to find an echo in the son s public writings and ut terances. Mr. Cleveland was ad mitted to the bar in 1859, was "As sistant District Attorney in Buffalo in 1863, was Sheriff, with all which that implies, in 1870, and in 1881 was Mayor of Buffalo. In 1882 he was elected Governor, and in- 1884 President. The formation of the Mugwump or independent party ac companied the nomination of his competitor, Mr. Blaine, and from that time until this he has been the ideal of that school of reformers. He is the candidate of the Mugwumps and free traders. New York, Nov. 9, 1891. On the morning after election it 1 was interesting to read the opinions of the different dailies as to why the Democratic maiority in this city was smaller this year than usual. Proba bly the most entertaining opinions were those of the Herald and the Re corder. During the canvass the Her aid sucked its thumb and said never a word while the Recorder whooped up things for Fassett with all its little might and got red in the face and swore at Tammany every day and declared over and over again that the Republicans would surely win be cause it was with them. And now af ter election the Herald quiedy ranges itself on the winning side, cheekily steps to the front and says "we Demo crats must take care not to let Tam many Hall get control of the nation al convention (!) ;" and the Recorder has the "gall to assert that it cut down the Democratic majority in this city and that if it had only had as arge a circulation m the country as it has in town, Fassett would have been elected ! ! And yet these two excite pathos as well as mirth. One cannot help sighing as one reads the ridiculously silly editorials in the Herald these days and acknowledge that, but for races and prize fights and scandals the Herald could not ex ist And it is a pity that the Record er after starting so bravely a short time ago and struggling so hard to be respectable has become a mere rag of a journal, unreliable, dishonest and coarse, gradually losing the respect of the people until its collapse is evi- dendy near at hand. The triumph of the Democracy has squelched the Re corder and stultified the Herald. possibly carry Ohio, probably carry Massachusetts and certainly carry New York. New York is not t. Demo cratic State in the sense that Texas is for example. It will not give its vote to just anybody who calls him self a Democrat, or for just any set of principles simply because they are enunciated by a Democratic political convention. The nominee must have brains and the principles must be such as commend themselves to in telligent people. This is due to the cosmopolitan character of the popu lations of the State's great cities. There is no sectional prejudice there worth counting. People vote accord- . f 1 f I mg to their own personal, uicuviauai interests. Those who think "protec tion" helps their pockets vote tor it and those who don't think it helps their pockets vote against it. How will this or that policy help me ? each man asks. He answers the question and votes accordingly, some times the Republican ticket and sometimes the Democratic. Next year he will vote the Democratic ticket only on condition that the Democratic party favors freer trade and sound money. D. T. D., in States ville Landmark. 7& m . f is! GRAND JURY'S REPORT. THE LOGIC OF THE SITUATION. The Ronnoke News is edited by Mr. W. H. Hall, who represented Halifax county in the last Genera Assemby in the House. He is strong member of the Alliance and valiant cnampion 01 its aims and " r. 1 t t r't principles, ne is careiui ana con servative, wise and far-seeing. Writ ing about the result of the elections he says : "The results show conclusively that in the event of a Third Party ticket next year the Republicans who are now members of the Alliance wil remain loyal to the Republican party and that not orly would the Third Party candidates meet a disas trous defeat at the polls but that the Republicans would carry the elections whenever the Third Party developed any strength whatever, even if those localities should have been heretofore strongly Democratic. These are nat ural conclusions from the results of the election last week in Ohio and Kansas. Especially is it the logica conclusion from the result in Kansas as in that State the Alliance move ment had been, until the elections stronger and more pronounced than in any other State, and had prom rised greater things. . "These results prove beyond ques tiorr the wisdom of the position taken by the Roanoke News, that the only true course for the Alliance to pursue is for its members to remain in that political party to which they already Deiong and through these politica parties accomplish the ends they seek. If the Alliance in Kansas had pursued this course the State would have been as strongly Republican as it is now, it is true, but the Republi rtry r.Cf. 1 J 1 1 umndis wouia nave Deen men who would not have dared disregard tne finance demands. As it is, those officials are under no obligations to the Alliance, but if they have their share of human nature will entertain more or less of antagonism to the order. "Members of the order in North INFIDELITY OF COUJNTY DEMOCRATS And why was the Democratic ma jority in this city cut down ? Simply because some of the County Demo crats and the ballot-reform cranks voted the Republican ticket. The former did it partly for gain, no doubt, and partly to spite Tammany ; the atter from the notion that they would secure a better system ot voting. Fortunately for the State both fac tions practically threw away their votes, lammany Hall was signally triumphant. The County Democracy is as dead as a mummy. Let the country congratulate itself that there is now practically but one Democra cy m isew Yonc city, lhe city is enough, too, for Tammany Hall. It will not seek to rule the nation. Its leaders are wise enough to see that its strength lies in supporting the regu lar Democratic nominees in State and Union. The Hall has done that in deed for years. It gave Cleveland a magnificent vote. It was the tarift that beat Cleveland, not Tammany flail. TAMMANY AND CLEVELAND. i -r- t v mm w And lammany Hall will support Cleveland if he is nominated in 1892 Doubtless Tammdny's representa tives in the convention will even urge his nomination. Perhaps some fools will say then that he is Tammany's candidate. By the way the Herald has the impertinence to advise the Democratic party not to nominate an Eastern man for fear he may be call ed 1 ammany s candidate and be beat en. And that just after "Tammany's candidate" for Governor, whom the Herald tried in a sneaking way to de iear, nas earned tnis state by over 40,000 votes! Does anybody but a fool suppose that unless the conven tion chooses a Western man people will cry "Tammany Hall" at the nominee ? Does anybody of sound mind imagine that the country would call Grover Cleveland Tammany's candidate in case he were nominated ? A year ago the Herald in a sneaking way helped iammy to elect a may or and other municipal officers and it was outspoken in its praise of Mr Cleveland and talked as if no other man would do for the presidentia 11 . r. . candidate 01 the Democratic party inow it nas nopped over to the anti- Tammany and anti-Cleveland or any other-Eastern-man side. Doubtless in '92 it will say nothing but try in sneaking way again, through its news columns, to elect a Republican Presi dent. JNtAl EAR SOUND MONEY OR DE FEAT. It is the opinion of most New York ers that the success of the Democra tic party next year will depend upon its position on the silver question. It is earnestly hoped that the defeat of the party in Ohio last week will prove an object lesson to the Demo crats on that question. That defeat was not due to the free trade plank in the Ohio State platform but to the free silver plank. Campbell "wiped up the floor" with McKinley almost every time, he met him in the debate on the tarift question ; but he had to dodge the silver question all the time. In Massachusetts Russell had no dodging to do on silver and won the battle talking free trade with all his might If it was a great thing to win Republican Ohio on a Republi can issue, how much greater a thing was it to win Republican Massachu setts on a Democratic issue ! With a free silver plank in its platform the Democratic party will be beaten next year not only in Ohio and Massachu setts but even in New York, no mat ter who is nominated for President. On a sound money, tariff-for-revenue only platform, and with Grover 1 Cleveland as the nominee, ft wfll Here is the Way Eighteen Cltfeens of the County See Some Things. With reference to your Honor's charge in regard to the examination of different departments of county government, we beg to submit the following : COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. Mr. J. D. Wells, Chairman was questioned as to the officers under his control. He reports efficient ser vice and no complaints and refers us Jo the Clerk of County Commission ers for particulars of finances etc. CLERK SUPERIOR. COURT Reports his office in shape, all re cords prompdy recorded, bonds etc., properly renewed and departments ol his office in order. Recommenos that the old records be properly in dexed. There is no index to any proceedings prior to 1868 and all records of estates since are indexed wrong, in that they are indexed in the name of the representative in stead of estate. REGISTER OF DEEDS OR CLERK OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. He reports the government in healthy condition. The present tax collected by county being for Pen sions $1371.12, State taxes $9287.91, school fund $9321.46, county govern- ment 0140.99, maicmg aoout $28000.00 for every purpose The county owes $2500.00 from failure to collect enough taxes in 1890. Taxa ble value of county property has in creased for 1 891 fully 10 per cent. He reports all taxes prompdy collect ed and all officers doing their duty Enough taxes have been levied the present year to cover any deficien cies of the past year. The office is in urgent need of proper protection for records of the county. Irrepara ble injury would result from fire. It would be only just to let both Mr. Deans and Mr. Warren speak for their offices. SHERIFF. Sheriff reports prompt collection of all taxes, showing reciepts for same, all papers promptly served and the general condition of his office in healthy condition. He requests silent repairs to his ofhee which we recommend. TREASURER. Has shown his books properly audited, by Com. of County Commis sioners ; we have also taken precaution to verify his bank balance which ac cords with his books. BOARD OF EDUCATION. No report. SCHOOL TRUSTEES. No report. SUPERVISORS OF ROADS. Tnose of Black Creek, Wilson, Saratoga, Spring Hill, Toisnot, Stan tonsburg, and Old Fields makes re ports, and specify good roads. No complaint of disobedience of hands to work. Those of Taylor's, Gard ners, and Cross Roads make no re port and have been presented for indictment for failure to report. THE HOME OF THE AGED AND INFIRM A committee of six of our body were especially appointed to report upon same, to wit : Barnes Daniel, J. Q. Mason, Benj. Ferrell, Enos Lamm, M. L. Smith, and Ruffin Watson. They report to us that the manage ment there could not well be better. It is kept clean, nice and comforta ble, and complimented especially Mr. Pearson for her human and kind treatment. The inmates were ques tion seperately and apart from keep ers and no complaint as to improper treatment, poor food or any complaint whatever. There were 13 white and 13 colored inmates in the institution at present JAIL. We find the jail inside, as cleanly as the number of inmates will admit of. The food we find good and wholesome as well as plentiful. There was no complaint from inmates ex i r cepi want 01 water and vermine 1 here was not only no water for bathing, but not enough to drink. Water being cheap and service not expensive, we specially recommend that prisoners be supplied with a sufficient quantity, both for drinking and bathing. As to the disposition of the filth accumulated there, we cannot possibly speak in too strong terms. It is a foul stench in the center of town, a menace to public health, a public nuisance, and should be abated at once. There is no ex cuse on part of proper authorities for this state of affairs. We respectfully submit the within remarks as our report to your Honor. J as. E. Clark, Foreman of Grand Jury. Senator Ransom's Heavy Loss. OOK ! The Weather is LvOOK!
