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 filled 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 ii 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 lost tight of taxing ourselves, and now we are threatened with the loss of the greater right of governing ourselv es. 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. From Hon. W. L. Wilson's speech at Chicago.

BILL ARPS LETTER. NOT "IN IT: " THAT'S HANNAH ! WHAT AII.S All t lie Salaries go into Northern Pocketx We Poor Prodigals Ind uo Fatted Calf on our Return And we are Still Poor The Kemedy is: Elect Cleveland Who Recognized the South. Through the Southern States, when Mr. Harrison made his paternal tour, he said in his speeches that it would be his proud ambition to administer equal rights to all the people and all the States without discrimination. "We are a united nation," said he, "and all of its members have an equal right to share in its benefits and its blessings." As Sam Jones' little girl said to Dr. Hawthorne, "Were you telling the truth, or just preaching ?" I would like to know about what time that Harrison millennium is to begin. When is the South to have her share ? They say that we strayed off. Well, suppose we did. We have come back, I reckon. Mr. Harrison says we have, and' he is a christian. Now when is the fatted calf to be killed and the feast to begin ? What inducement is there for a returning prodigal to stay at home if he is not to have anything when he gets there ? It is curious to see how Uncle Sam's pie is distrib uted. Just contemplate the record as taken from the official files and seehow liberal Mr Harrison and his party are to the Southern people. There is the executive department viz : President and Vice Pres ident 2 pay $58,000 The Cabinet 8 " 64,000 State Department 4 " 15,000 Treasury Department... 3 " 13,000 Comptrollers and Audi tors 20 " 18,500 Navv Department 11 " 44,000 Postoffice Department. . 10 " 35,000 War Department 13 " 60,000 Department of Justice. . . 2 ' 17,000 Department of Agricul ture 1 " 4,500 Public Printing 1 " 4,500 Librarian 1 " 4,000 Government Directors of the Pacific Railroad. . . 5 " 20,000 Civil Service Commis- sion Inter-State 3 10,500 Commerce.. 4 " 30,000 These foot up, officials 89, " 1389,500 They are the heads of departments only. The thousands of clerks and agents and assistants are not included. Of all these eighty-nine high officials the So uth has but six and one of them a negro (Lynch) and their total pay is $20,000. Not much calf in that or pie, either ! Next comes the Supreme and Cir cuit Courts : Judges 18 pay Territorial Judges 19 " Court of Claims 7 " $144, 000 57,000 34,000 Supreme Court, Dis trict of Columbia. .. . 8 ' Total 52 " $266,500 The South has only five of these and the total pay is $38,000. Next comes the diplomatic service with Chief Ministers 10 pay Chief Consuls 51 " Sub Consuls 222 " Their Clerks 12 " 96,000 345,000 666, ok) 14,000 Total 295 "f 1,121,000 Of these, the South has twenty one of low grade, and their total pay is $84,000. Then comes the general officers of the army : Chief Officers 92 pay 1368,000 Caval ry Officers 50 " 150,000 Artillery 27 " 81,000 Infantry 75 " 225,000 Total 244 " 1824,000 Of the general officers, the South has eight, and of the cavalry, artillery and infantry officers, she has seven teen, and the total pay is $83,000. The next army grade including captains and commissioned officers below caDtains. makes up the num ber 1,245 ; pay $2,241,000, of whom the South has 102 and the total pay is $i8,?,ooo. In the navy there are flag officers : Number 225 ; pay, $900,000, ot whom the South has fourteen and their pay amounts to $54,000. This table is made up to cover only the higher officers in all de partments. The legions of subalterns are nearly all from north ot the line Indeed, whenever a bouthern mem ber ot Congress gets a place lor a Southern man or woman, it is such a marked event that it eets into the newspapeis. This record eives to the North 1,977 heads of departments and com missioned officers, and only 173 to the South. It gives to the North $5,500,000 and to the South less than half a million in salaries per annum This is but a sample of the way in our oaternal government treats the South. This accounts for only six millions out of nearly a billion that is spent. Of the rest we get nothing to speak of, outside of the pay to the postmasters, members of Congress and revenue collectors. One hun dred and fifty million dollars goes to Northern pensions and several mil lions to Northern cemeteries. Of course, Mr. Harrison will say that he would have given more places to the South, but he couldn't find white men in the Southern Republican party that were fitted to hold them. That is the reason, I reckon, why he gave some of the best offices to the ne groes ; but there was no law against his appointing conservative Demo crats. There are plenty of them waiting arid willing. How in the world are we ever to catch up unless we have a finger in the pie i How are we ever to become national pa triots on quarter rations? Sam Jones says there is no use in trying to convert a sinner on an empty stomach and just so you can't make patriots out of paupers. That is why nearly all the rich folks up Noith are Republicans. They are paid to be. They have for thirty years been fat tening on government contracts, Think of the immense supplies for the army and navy. Think of the armories and the guns and ammuni tion and horses and mules and wagons and tents and clothing. Think of the ships and all the material that it takes to build and equip them. Think of all the printing and paper and envelopes and stamps and mail sacks and' furniture for the; postoffice department. Think of all the seeds and flowers for the agricul ture department, and the making of all the books in all the departments who does it all ? Who gets all the pay for it ? Did anybody ever hear 1 01 a outnern lactorv eetting an or der for anything ? We can't even furnish the iron for their guns, nor the cotton ducking for their tents, nor the mules for the army wagons. We can't furnish the pitch, tar nor turpentine without giving the job and nearly all the profits to a North ern contractor. I think the agricul tural department might buy some of our watermelon seed. About half the rich men you meet up North are in some way interested in a govern ment contract and half the poor ones are drawing pensions. It is a grab-all game, and the South is not in it. Eight hundred and fifty millions appropriated by one Congress, and the entire South never got more than one-fiftieth part of it ! Thev have got nearly ail the money now and keep on getting it. They let us fuss and cuss and discuss and pay taxes that's all. A lumber man told me that Northern men owned nine-tenths of all the pine timber and in Georgia, and they now asked as much for a lease of one acre as they paid for ten. 1 don t know anv way to get even with them but to join them. Toe Brown did that just as soon as the war was over and thereby saved his bacon. This generation don't know how there came to be so many rich Republicans among our Southern people. It was the confiscation act that did it. Congress passed an act to confiscate the property of every rebel who was worth $20,000 unless tie obtained a pardon from the pres ident. We didn't have very many rebels who were worth that much, but that law made christians out of them. They come down on their marrow bones with great alacrity and they hired Republican lawyers to go to Washington to intercede. Judge Lochrane opened an office here and made oodles of money of out them. He told them that the way to make pardon a dead sure thing was to join em and tliey did it. Joe Brown stayed with them until the storm blew over, but he didn't holler until he got out of the woods. Then he came back to the Democratic fold. 1 1c knew when to come back, but the others didn't. They were so asham ed and so scared that they concluded to stick, and they stuck till they died and their children grew up m their fathers' faith. That is all right ; I'm not finding fault with them, but a man asked me not long ago how so many rich men came to be Repub licans and I told him. There was a daily paper in Atlanta called "The Southern Confederacy." It was fire and brimstone against the Yankees, and was owned by one of the richest men in Atlanta. I helped to edit it for awhile and so did Henry Watter son and Albert Roberts, but none of us could write hot enough to please the owner. Every morning he came around and said, "Give 'em hail Co lumbia ; give 'em the dickens ; pour it into 'em, the infernal robbers." When Sherman captured Atlanta our friend began to see things in a differ ent light, and in a few months he was resting m Abraham's bosom. He got a pardon and saved his proper ty. That was all right. Some folks can get oyer a fuss or a fight quick and some never do get over it es pecially women with dark hazel eyes. 1 know one who was run out of her home in the dead of night and the foul invaders got her piano, and furni ture, and preserves, and pickles, and chinaware and the hams and leaf-lard that were in the smoke-house, and a whole barrel of home-made lye soap, and they confiscated them soap and all. And she continues to talk about it, and sometimes uses lan guage fit and appropriate. There is no chance for me to join them, I know. Bill Arp. Happy Homes .

H. Wynne, Weaverites nominee for Treasurer in Wake county, comes out and says he will not accept. Hon. B. H. Bunn was re-nominated for Congress in the 4th District last Wednesday on the 130 ballot. Ed. S. Abell, of Johnston, was nomi nated for elector. The Greenville military company, which was disbanded some months ago by the inspector-general for fail ure to comply with regulations, has been re-organized. The Fayetteville Independent Light Infantry company, the Observer says, has received and accepted an invitation to go into camp with the ex-Confederate veterans at Wrights ville. One third party man in Chatham says he is ready to shoulder his gun and go to fighting at any time. The Siler City News says that he was a deserter and "lay out" during the last war ! The Wake county Weaverites nominated the following ticket : For Senate, Rev. H. W. Norris ; For House. John Smith, Rufus Barbee and B. B. Buffalo ; For Sheriff W. H. J. Goodwin ; For Register of Deeds, Geo. L. Tonoffski ; For Treasurer, R. N. Wynne ; For Coro ner, Dr. M. E. Gattis. About 200 men were present. J. C. L.

Pittman ; Coroner; Dr. J. M. Hadley, and Surveyor, E P. Loftin. It was one of the largest and most harmonious meetings ever held here. Determination to win was depicted upon the countenance of the many true and earnest Democrats present. The Third party counted this one of their strongest counties, but the Democrats feel greatly en couraged and they are going to fight hard and will win. Democrats are getting mad at the continual abuse heaped upon their party by Third partyites, and they are going to work now with a vim which means victory. The Third party also held a conven tion here to-day to select delegates to the State convention.. There were about a hundred present. Judge Rumsey has decided that the redistricting of the State of New York by the last Democratic legisla ture is unconstitutional. When Gov. Flower was told of it he said : "There is nothing: to say, only that the case ; : . i , , r lu ",c , icn. auu .oui there to the court of appeals. I have no opinion to express on the decision ana tnere is no need ot action on my part till after the court of appeals has affirmed the decision of Judge Rumsey." Governor Flower said that Judge Rumsey was a republican and that the judges of the court of appeal of that district were also republicans, so that he thought the case would go to the court of appeals. In the event that the court of appeals affirms the decision, he said he would call an extra session of the legislature to apportion the State, providing it is constitutional to do. The decision refers to only one Assembly district but would affect the whole State if it holds. Democrats claim that it is a partizan decision and that there is nothing in it. 18 IT A I. IK, NOW? Here A re Some Disagreeable Truths That Cut Deep. "I will be found battling under the Democratic banner when my tra ducers have joined the common enemy," boastingly declared Col. Harry Skinner in his famous letter written less than three months ago. He also stated before the thousands of Democrats of North Carolina who were present at the State Convention that no sacrifice was too great for him to make for the success of the Democratic party and its principles, which were essential to the peace, prosperity and happiness of the Southern people. To-day Col. Skin ner, the staunch Democrat and un impeachable and incorruptible pa triot of three months ago, who said It is a lie" when the charge was made that he had gone over to the Third Party, is an out an out oppo nent of Democracy and is a member of "the common enemy" to which he predicted that his "traducers" would be allied. Alas, how the mighty have fallen ! The patriot of three months ago is now a traitor as contemptible and despicable as Ben edict Arnold, and stands belore the honest people of North Carolina con demned by his own uttearices as a common liar and a scoundrel. The Herald is sorry for him, for it at one time thought him politically incorruptible, but it can no longer have any respect for the man or his course. He has disgraced tne honor able ancestry of which he boasted, and of which he had just cause to be proud, he has brought reproach upon his relatives and friends who vouched tor his political integrity, he has oroven himself corrupt and unprin cipled, without regard for the most sacred pledges that could possibly be made by a man. This is unpleasant writing, but more than this is true of Harry Skinner. He is the sole au thor of his own political infamy and while he may quiver and burn under the harsh criticisms of an outraged and indignant people, his punish ment is no more than he deserves and is brought about by his own dis reputable conduct. Salisbury Herald THIRD PARTV IN PITT. Hon. Willis R. Williams Nominated for the Senate Col. Harry Skinner Speaks. The current issue of the Progres sive farmer contains tne following account of the Third party in Pitt county : Pursuant to a call of the Executive Committee of the People's party of Pitt county, a meeting was held in the court house and the following busi ness transacted . A. J. Moye elect ed permanent chairman, D. S. Spain, Secretary, and E. B. Moore, Assist ant Secretary. Chairman Moye de clared the meeting ready for business and called for Col. Harry Skinner for a few preliminary remarks. Col Skinner responded in a short, point ed, telling and eloquent address, after which the townships withdrew and selected delegates to cast their votes in the meeting. Upon re-assembling a motion was made to adopt the Omaha platform of the Peoples' party, and it was adopted unanimously. Nominations of officers being declared next in order, the following were selected for the various county offices : Senate Wilhs R. Williams. Legislature John T. Phillips and John Fleming. Sheriff W. H. Harrington. Register of Deeds Alva Pittman. Treasurer John B. Galloway. Surveyor J. S. L. Ward. Coroner J. H. Barnhill. Delegates to attend the State Con vention were elected as follows : Dr. J. W. Perkins, W. H. Allen, A. As Forbes, Slade Chapman, Harry Skin ner, C. C. Kirkman, J. A. Long, W. M. King, T. M. Manning, Abram Congleton. G. L. Stancill and Fer nando Ward. The following gentlemen were elected a Central Executive Commit tee : A. Forbes, G. F. Evans, W. W. Moore, J. E. Brown and A. J. Moye. The nominees were then called for ; they came forward and accept ed in appropriate speeches. Hon. E. A. Moye was called on. He took the speaker's stand and for thirty minutes held the immense audience spell bound with his match less eloquence.

The Man Who Favors The Force Hill I)e- serves Defeat. Asheville, N. C, Aug. 5. In the Congressional Convention' here Wednesday, Hamilton G. Ewart, Republican ex-Congressman from this district, was voted for elector. Ewart is out in an interview in the Citizen to-day, stating that the use of his name is unauthorized and inti mating strongly that he will vote with the Democrats this year. Ewart says: "The delegation from m y county did not present) e, because I had repeatedly I my name stated that I would not be a candi date for any office. Had I been a candidate, however, there is no doubt that I would have been antagonized by Force bill enthusiasts, who ap pear to have controlled the conven tion. These fellows are still blindly ignorant of the fact that such Repub licans as Blaine, Cameron, Wash burne, Wolcott and hundreds of other prominent Republican leaders are bitterly opposed to the measure ; they forget that it was killed in a Republi can Senate and denounced by Re publican Senator Teller, of Colorado, as a most damnable and iniquitous measure, framed by a clique of sel fish politicians to stir up race troub les and sectional feeling. "Any man who champions the force bill, that places negro deputy marshals and supervisors of elections around polls in the black belt of the South as the Lodge bill undoubtedly did, is an enemy to the black man, an ingrate to his own race and de serves ignominous defeat.!" The last paragraph is a direct slap at Jeter Pritchard, Republican nomi nee for Congress. I have been a great seflerer from Catarrh for over ten years ; had it very bad, could hardly breathe.
