Public Office is a Public Trust. Gro ver Cleveland. I believe that the Administration is responsible to the people for all the acts of the officers of the Government, and that therefore the offices should be fdled by friends of the Administration, and that the men who conduct the ad ministration of public affairs, and who are responsible for them, should have the selection of their subordinates. To the victors belong the spoils. Adlai E. Stevenson. Free government is self-government. There is no self-government where the people do not control their own elec tions and lay their own taxes. When either of these rights is taken away or diminished a breach is made, not in the outer defenses, but in the citadel of our freedom. For years we have been struggling to recover the tost right of taxing ourselves, and now we are threatened with the loss of the greater right of governing ourselves. The loss of the one follows in necessary succes sion the loss of the other. When you confer on Government the power of dealing out wealth you unchain every evil that can prey upon and eventually destroy free institutions excessive tax ation, class taxation, billion-dollar con gresses, a corrupt civil service, a de bauched ballot-box and purchased elections.

Even 1 Everything looks hopefu the pessimists and third party folks must admit that the propect for better times is bright and grows brighter as the season advances. I have recently traveled over five States and have never seen more promising crops. The wheat and oats are already harvested. The corn is on a strut and much of it is secure even though a drought should set in. Of course there will be enough cotton made and as the re ports, show less acreage, then the price must go up in proportion. Be sides all this the people have been retrenching in their family expenses. We are at my house, and we are try ing to follow the Irishman's advice who said that the way to get rich was to buy nothing that you are obliged to have. I never saw such r-ardens me to up and drop the sub-treasury so sud-1 denly and he said it was because they . r J, .

And now the people's party is yelling for bu?s, and every delegate who went to Omaha wants an office. What we want in Con gress as our representatives are true men, honest men, able men, such as Turner and Blount and Nat Ham mond. We want no hyoocrites, or time-servers, who ride a hobby until it is worn out and then jump on another and gull the people and say : "Just send me back again and I'll fix it all up. I've almost got it fixed now." They want to be vindicated. There is but one issue, and that is reform. Not only tariff reform but reform in the expenses How can the tariff be reformed to do any good 1inlrc tK u"icto tc cf Mnrfl "? Tf tmrr "1,u 11 ?

We are on the second crop of beans and the third peas and the tomatoes are six feet high and loaded with fruit. I have got them staked and ridered and tied and can almost see them grow. Squashes and onions and cucumbers and beets and okra are abundant, and green corn and sweet potatoes are in sight and with a little piece of bacon for seasoning, what more does a poor man want Then there are apples and berries all over the country, and sugar is cheap and anybody can have a dessert if they arc not too lazy to make it. One of my little grand children was trying to learn her catechism for Sunday school and when her mother asked her, "Why should you love God ?" she answered "Because lie makes preserves." She was very near it near enough for a child of four years old. Even politics seem to be in a healthy condition and the conservative press all over the country admits that both Harrison and Cleveland are good men 01 principle ana honorable in their conduct and pure in their domestic relations. In fact, Harrison would be a gentleman but for his pre judices against the South. I told my wile that the country was safe, for Harrison and Cleveland and Reid and Stevenson were all Presbyterians and in any event the doctrine of election would be continued. She never even smiled at my wit, but plied her needle and thread as she said, "Will we never have a Southern president again?" "Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth," said I, "and our children will live to see the South on top again. Mr. Oates, of Ala bama, is the man for me. He has got his bill through at last. It passed without a dissenting voice and now the rebels can hold office in the army and navy just like the yankees." "And confederate money will be good again?" said she. She has some hundred-dollar bills that are drawing interest and she looks at them some times and ruminates. I think she counts the interest. Now, let everybody strike for Cleveland and if we can elect him I believe it will be the dawn of a new era an era of better feeling between the North and South. Another Mr. Oates will come to the front and de mand equal rights for our living and our dead and the North will grant them. They are relenting now and have backed downed Irom the force bill arid even The Tribune says there is no issue put protection. That's fair and square. That is the way it used to be in the good old times. The Whigs were for protection and the Democrats against it. The whigs were for internal improvements and the Democrats against them. The whigs were for a strong central government and the Democrats for State rights. The whigs changed their name to republicans and carried all their measures but it took a war to do it, and they spent the nation's money like it was water and they have lasten ed upon the people a programme that takes a billion dollars a years to run it. This thing must stop. This tariff must be reformed, or I will have to quit buying pocket knives for grandchildren. The very same two bladed kinife I used to buy from Rairi & Kirpatrick for 50 cents is now 65, and they say it is the Mc Kinley bill. They have got in Rome one of the best arranged postoffices in the South, and the rent was only ;cno a vear. but as all the smart TT nj J young cities in all Die nation were getting an appropriation for a govern ment building, Rome put in for one and Mr. Clements log-rolled with the other congressmen and got one for Rome that will coss $75,000; and Mr. Grimes got one for Columbus, and I saw a splendid one at Vicksburg and, as Cobe says, "they are get ting more thicker and denser all over the country," and if this great pater nal government is to be run this way, we want one at Cartersville, and one at Adairsville, and one at Kingston, and a few small ones at Pinelog, and Possumtrot and Shake-rag and Blue gizzard why not ? But this thing has got to stop or the government will be bankrupt. In fact, a man told me that another man told him that Dan Rountree had the papers already drawn up to put the whole concern in the hands of a receiver if Mr. Cleveland wasn't elected. And Dan will do it. I asked Captain Tom Lvon how come the alliance to burst j igner tann than we nave got for it now, for it is throguh the tariff that the money comes. The South owes a duty to herself and shouid give Mr. Cleveland every vote she has rot. I went in the postoffice at Vicks burg and bought a money order from a nice young lady and I saw several more in there all white and when I asked a friend who was the post master, he said he was a negro by the name of Hill and he lived at Jackson, but came over occasionally and stayed a day and went back. And now Mr. Harrison has appointed a negro politician as postmaster of Charleston. Of course he promised these offices to them for the colored vote of their States hi the nomination and it is all right for him to keep his promises and pay his political debts ; but it was dishonorable to make such a bargain and it is an insult to our people. That is the way to keep the South solid and he knows it. Some of his own delegates to Minneapolis were refused hotel privileges there except at the hotel for colored peo ple, and yet he maliciously thrusts upon us negro officials with whom we have to come in constant contact. Mr. Cleveland would not do that. If Mr. Cleveland is elected it will be by the vote of the solid South, and I'll bet he will do a good part by her next time. I think I will take a good fat office myself next year, for I'm getting too old to work much and I want a "sinecure," or a "sine qua non," or some easy office with big pay and little work. Then hurrah for Grover and reform ! hurrah for Frankie and Ruth ! There is one good thing about Mr. Cleveland's candidacy they can't tell any lies on him. He is a better citizen than he was before, for now he is a family man. He has something better than fame to live for. All other things being equal, I had rather trust a man with a pretty wife and a baby to match than a man without them ; and speaking as though I was not pres ent, I had rather trust a patriarch with ten children than a man with one especially when the patriarch is a woman whose surname is Arp. And now comes over the wires the slaughter at Homestead a slaughter of the Pinkertons the paid hirelings of Northern manufacturers and Northern plutocrats. We, the law abiding people of the South, have looked on and wondered that such an organization could exist in this Re publican country an organization that no law recognizes and no necessity demands. They are nothing but a self-constituted band ol outlaws. They are the judges and jury and sheriff all combined. They are the guardians of the rich and are paid by them to keep the poor in subjection. Their very exist ence is an insult to Republican government and to law and order. The sheriffs and the constables are hedged in by law and are limited in their duties but these Pinkertons are as lawless as the Italian bandits. Behind them are the plutocrats and behind the plutocrats is the govern ment that protects them. Thank heaven they have met their reward one time and let us give all honor to brave men who did it.

We have not seen the potato, but we know it is a nice one, as Billie has a very big arm. Mr. John Croom, our very efficient mail carrier, came in yesterday even ing tickled almost to death. He says he was accosted by a negro who wanted to ride but did not have any money. He told him, however, ifhe would let him strike him twice with his horse whip he would give him a free ride. This did not exactly suit the negro, he thought he ought to get boot, so Mr. Croom gave him ioc. extra. He says he was tickled mighty good and does not regret his money and is ready for another customer. S. L. C. THIS HAPPENED ONCE IN PITT CO. NASH VI I.I. I NOT KS.

Politics in this county are pretty badly torn Jup and no one can tell what will be the result. The Dem have a good ticket in the field and nothing but defection from the time honored principles of the party can defeat it. Democrats should go slow and study well before they attempt to flee from the evils they have to those they know not ol. Tell the Democrats of Wilson county to rest easy, for when the Senatorial Con vention meets we expect to offer them a good man, a strong man and a man that they will be proud to sup port ; but that we prefer to keep our own counsel till the opportune time comes and then they shall know who he is. The editor of the Herald is not an old man, but he has a very distinct reeollection of scene which the Ob server sneaks of. At the time when Canby was supreme dictator of North I voters more than who should repre Carolina, and when Kirk's myrmi- j sent us m the next Legislature. Of dons held sway, we saw an election I course every reasonable man knows held in the State at which a constitu- ' that the welf;ir- of this country, and tionwas adopted. At this election i especially this State, rests with the voting continued for three days, and Democratic party. We know that the ballots cast .by the people of e PeoPle of Wilson county are North Carolina were carried to Char- Democratic to the core. If there are any who are w avering in their Demo- o. o. leston. S. C. to be counted. At the ! home of the writer a oomnanv nf crat!C laith 11 ls because they are be negro soldiers formed a double line of guards to the ballot box, and the few white men who voted had to march in single file between them , and were compelled to leave the house in an op posite direction from which they en tered. One of the men who submit ted to this indignity was our father, and we can never forget how deeply he was humiliated. But this is not all that we saw or knew of. The same company of negro soldiers who guarded the ballot box on the occa sion alluded to, while under the Radi cal sheriff of the county, attempted to arrest a white citizen, and because he refused to submit to their demands, his home was burned to the ground, himself and son murdered, his son-in-law desperateiy wounded and his wife and daughter threatened with death and inhumanly treated. Re spected citizens of the county were hunted as outlaws and were com pelled to leave home and family and seek concealment in the swamps to save their lives, and the home of no one was considered safe. The ne groes were incited to riot and lawless ness, the money of the county was stolen and a debt piled upon the peo ple which it took years of Democratic control to wipe out. These are a few of the things we saw and knew of when Republicans controled North Carolina and when Federal bayonets were placed behind the ballots. Al though a boy at the time, the recol lection of these indignities that were heaped upon the helpless people of Eastern North Carolina can never be blotted from our memory. Better times have come to them now be cause white men have broken the fetters that bound them and have driven out Republican officers and Federal soldiers. While this change for the better has been effected by Democratic control there is danger ot the repetition of the outrages if the in famous force bill become a law. The Republicans are as cordial haters of the South to-day as they were in 1868, and many of the leaders then are leaders now. Safety for our peo ple can only be secured by unswerv ing allegiance to the Democratic party and the triumph of its candidates President Harrison and the conven tion that nominated him favor the force bill, which will be placed upon us if they are continued in power. We must defeat them in order to save ourselves. Only a straight Democratic vote will accomplish this. A vote for Weaver, Bidell or any other candidate, except Grover Cleveland, is aiding Harrison, and will help to rivet more firmly the chains that bind us. Bear this fact in mind, white men of North Caro lina, and work and vote accordingly. Salisbury Herald. : -i 1 1 . , mg ueceiveu Dy inose wno are per suading them to act against white su premacy. It is because they are listening to those who think that the newest road to their political agrandi zearent is the Third Party. Those who have aranged the two old par ties side by side and says- one is as good as the other and neither can be trusted, but the feeling of every indi vidual, who has had any observation at all, must recoil in holy horror at such a statement. And when the people thoroughly understand the situation there will be but one political party of any consequence in this county, and we hope in this country, and that will be the Democratic party. And many who have forsaken that partyr left the broad road for some untried path will, like Obida, at last be aroused to a painful remembrance of their folly in leaving the main road, and will be left all to themselves to lament the unmanly impatience and greed which prompt them to forsake the party of their fathers. Now every Democrat should be thoroughly certain that the name that receives their votes ne xt Novem ber should be one whose knees have never been weakened even by the thought of the Third party, or any other party but the Democratic party. And for the consideration of the Democratic nartv I desire to present 1 the name of Mr. Elias G. Barnes, of Spring Hill township, for a seat in the next Legislature of North Caro lina, whose character is above re proach. I lis ability is sufficient, his faith in Democracy is strong, his experience in parliamentary matters j is ripe, his occupation no one can i object to, his aid for 1 teniocracy i has always been freely given and I his financial condition for a success fill campaign is good, his friends are many, -his enemies are few if any j and his faith political is that the! Democratic party must and will be ' triumphant in the approaching ! November election. He would, we j .11 1. .1 tnuiK, aua strengtn to tne party, we 1 are fully certain. And such at this I time is what we need. Taking him 1 all in all it seems to me no one else wold do so well as him. So let all look to the interest of the Democratic party and vote for Elias G.

Some time ago it was asserted that Col. Polk expressed himself opposed to eovernment ownership of railroads. Dr. I. M. Hays, who attended him in his last illness, writes Mr. W. R. Henrv. ot Henderson, that this is true. Col. Polk talked ireeiy and unreservedly and with great delibera tion. He said a few days before his death (writes Dr. Hayes :) "I have given the subject of government ownership ot railroads and telegraph lines a great deal of thoueht, and I have determined to use every bit ol the influence which I have against the adoption of any such plank in the Omaha platform. I am pretty sure that I will be able to succeed in this. The country is not ready for such a radical change as the one contem plated in connection with the railroads and telegraph lines ; the government ownership of telegraph lines is per haps more feasible than that of rail roads ; but the people are not ready for even that now, and perhaps will not be ior a long time."
