Thkhb lias been -o complaint agaiort
the Deuiocratio management of the State
affairs. Why chano and put jn power
a party that has raised no real issue? 1
If the Third party county ticket be
elected what will it do for the people cf
the county? Draw the salaries and take
the fees from thu people allowed by law.
The registration books close Saturday
at twelve o'clock, after which timo do
one san register unless lie become of ago
after that date, 13c sure your name is
properly registered and then be sure to
vote the Democratic ticket.
When a Republican votes for the
Third parly candidates in Halifax coun
ty or in the State ho is voting for men
who profess to be as good Democrats as
they have ever been. Where, then, is
the advantage for the Republican ?
In State and National matters the
fight is between Democracy and Repub
licanism. The records of the two partieB
are before you. There can be no hesita
tion in your choice, if you know what
good government is and want the genuine
article.
There is said to be a secret colored
organization in Ohio eight thousand
strong and growing every day, whose
purpose it is to defeat the Republican
party. The press seems to ' be panic
stricken at the news, and the Philadel
phia Press says there is likely to be worse
behind.
The issue in Halifax county is between
the Democrats and the Third party. You
know the record of the Democratic party.
What does the Third party promise in
case of success ? Nothing. The burden
of their campaign has been denunciation
of the Democrats, but they do not and
cannot offer any improvement in the
State government.
When a political party is organized in
order to get tho support of the people it
should offer some measure of government
which will be beneficial to the( people.
What measure of State and county policy
does the People's party offer ? None in
the world. The candidates, if elected,
would get the fees and salaries and the
people would have to pay them. That is
The Third party believes in cutting
down the rate of taxation. If they should
control the Legislature and do so what
would become of the insiitutionsfor both
white and colored people the schools,
the asylums for the insane and the deaf
and dumb, tho Agricultural and Mechan
ical colleges which the Democrats have
established for both races alike? That
is a question that concerns every voter,
Mrs. Benjamin Harrison died
Tuesday morning at 1:43 o'clock in the
White House, aged sixty years, of' ton-
sumption, brought on by an attack of
grip she suffered from in the winter of
1890-91. : . '
Mrs. Harrison was a model wife and'
mother, and indeed in every way a most
estimable woman. Her death, especially
at this time, will cause everybody to pause
in the heat of the political campaign to
offer silent sympathy for the man- upon
whom this great grief has fallen, for in
the bouse deso'-ite 1 by sorrow not even
the bitterest puiisan would wish to oarry
his political hostility. Death touches a
chord to which humanity in every poaso
and under every circumstance will re
spond, and Mr. Harrison ha tho hearty
sympathy of the people, be they Demo
crats or Republicans.

Tho tax payers of North Oaiolina can
not better serve their interests, which
means the interest of their State, than by
earnestly interesting themselves in the
electiou of 1 Democratic legislature this
year.
The Republicans arc making a spcciul
effort in every oounty to defeat tho Dem
ocratic candidates, and they will form
any combination that promises such de
feat. It will be too late, after losing the
legislature, to regret that a greater effort
was not made to secure it.
Those who have not timo to participate
in the campaign can materially aid in
furtheting the Democratic cause by sub
stantially recognizing the fact that it re
quires moans to place within tho reach of
voters the literature that will truthfully
inform them of the political situation.
If the republicans should elect a major
ity representing their views, or under ob
ligations to them, there is not a tax payer
in the whole State who will not be made
to feel very soon, after the next legisla
ture assembles that his burden of taxes
has been increased. The seal of our
State will again be placed upon bonds to
be sold in Wall streot at ruinous rates of
discount, and a lost credit and, then,
bankruptcy will follow us in 18G9-90.
The credit of North Carolina stands as
the credit of any State in the Union,
which is due to the rule of the Demo
cratic party, for no one can doubt that
Democratic policy has governed the State
since 1870, and that it succeeded the
ascendency of Republican policy, which
had destroyed the-credit of the State.
Can any good citizjn, therefore, remain
indifferent to the efforts of the republican
party to again direct the policy and ad
minister the a Hairs of North Carolina?
The record of this party and its aims
prove its corruption and warn against
it.
Besides, are our pooplo prepared to
havo the social fabric shaken by repealing
and cnactipg statutes that it retire effi
cient and capable men from the race of,
prefeiment and open it only to the in
competent and corrupt?
If tho system ol internal government,
specially the system of county govern
ment, now obtaining in the Stato is re
pealed, and it is tho declared policy of
the republican party to repeal it, it is not
easy to conjecturo the class of men who
will soon become county commissioners
and justices of the peace? Such as filled
these positiow in 1SC3-70 will be re
called, and it will it qui re another tweuty-
five years to free the 3 tuts from debt,
and vindicate her financial honor, after
having been plundered by a ne,v genera
tion ot thieving scallawags and ca;pet

A8TWOOU TELLS WHY

Nito Yurie World.
Henry C. C. Astwood, an active Re
publican all his life, for eight years Con
sul General to San Domiugo, and one of
the best known and most prominent col
ored men in the country, has como to
Now York to stump tho Stato for Clove
land. He is a forcible and eloquent
speaker and gives many excellent reasons
why he has deserted the Republican
party and joined issues with the Dem
ocrats. "I was born and educated in tho West
Indies," he said yesterday, "and never
was a slave. I came to this country
after the war and settled in Louisiana,
where I taught school. In 1876 Mr.
Leonard, of Lake Providence, undertook
to ruu for Congress. We had the Force
bill in vogue then.
"On the face of the roturns the Dem
ocrats carried the district, but I suggested
to the Republicans a plan by which
Ouchita might be counted out. This
was adopted aud tho parishes were
counted for Hayes.' I begged the com
mittee then to do something for my race.
They informed me that the Govern
ment had decided to withdraw the troops
from the South, and advised that the col
ored people make friends with the whites
and get along as peaeeably as possible.
Since then I have continued to think that
the best thing the black man could pos
sibly do was to make friends with the
white folk.
"Cleveland camo in and we had fewer
conflicts than ever. It was the best ad
ministration for the colored race we have
ever known.
"Hairison got into his head an ambi
tion for re election, and he began to pla
cate the negro voters by giviDg them
offices and making them delegates to the
National Convention. I refused to have
anything to do with his machine schemes,
aud favored the nomination of Blaine,
"I firmly believe that Cleveland will be
elected, and I look upon his election as
the salvation of the colored race. Look
iug at it from a commercial and business
standpoint, I think Mr. Cleveland's views
ou the tariff the best for this country.
HOW DO YOU LIKE IT.
The National Republican, a Radical
newspaper published in ' Washington, D,
C-, has this to say :
"With the Lodge National Election
law in full force over the South aud va
rious Democratic strongholds up North
we may confidently look for a different
stato of political affairs than now exists,
New Yolk city will then return several
mom. Republican Congressmen than
present, whilo more than twenty negro
representative from the South will render
the Republican co'ntral of the future
Congress absolutely safe and secure,
"Heavy taxes should be laid upon the
property of the whites to. develop and
extend the public school systems of these
States. Separate schools for the two
races should be abolished, and the pla
of bringing the youth of both colors into
an equal. relation in schools aud church
esuivou a fair trial, nson of thu most
potent elements to break down the detes

THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG.
National Democrat. Waslunqton, D. C.
The Philadelphia Press, edited by one
of Mr. Harrison's closest friends, Mr.
Emory Smith, his late Minister to Rus
sia, has tho courage to say plainly what
all observant men have known all the
me, viz., that it is the purpose and pol
icy of tho Republican party to enact a
force bill. But the Press is frank enough
to urge a reason for it beyond mero polit
ical power, and declares that to pass the
Lodge election bill is to destroy the dan
gerous competition that Southern pros-
erity erects against New England cotton
goods and Pennsylvania iron.
Or, in other words the real down-right
Republican North seeks to overwhelm
the South with auother ruin, after the
South has so far risen from the ashes of
war to compete with the nortl.un States
in commerce and manufacture.
If a single man or woman iu the South
ever had any doubt about the fiendish
intentions of the Radicals let the follow
ing words of the Philadelphia Press set
tle the doubt and determine tl. only way
to avoid the destruction propo J for that
section :
"If the Democrats had never been al
lowed to regain control of thcSt&'i'govern
mentsot the South northern cut i ,l would
never have embarked in the dexuopment
of Southern coal aud iron; aud the surest
and speediest way to put a stop to this
ompetition from men who are our polit
ical enemies as well as our commercial
rivals is to curry through and enforce
measures like the Lodge National election
law."
Mr. Smith is not only a Republican
who nres the northern heart with a re.
flection of burning Columbia and the
general destruction of war, but he is also
a business man who puts the proposed
force bill in the front as a material ne
cessity to ruthlessly destroy the progress
of the South and utterly ruin it, because,
forsooth, it completes with northorn in
teiests. The most rabid secessionist never at
tributed to the men like Ben Butler any
thing so virulent and fiendish as this open
declaration of the Radical organ. Mr.
Smith, lato Minister to Russia, has learn
ed the ancient barbarous methods of the
Czars and added something to the devil
try of Boss Reed and' such other malign
spirits of the Republican party, from
whom the destructive policy emanated.
Mr. Smith did not carry a musket
like a brave soldier, aud thereby learn to
respect the southern people, as all the real
soldiers did. He was ono of the flock of
political kites that represented ill omen
and hatred.
After presenting a picture of the utter
wreck of the South, he gloats over it in
the following terms:
"And if we can once more get them
into the condition they were before 1876
we won't hear any more about cheap iron
and cheap cotton goods from the South.
They will have other things to thiuk
about." .
Thank you, Mr. Smith! Tho Democrats
appreciate the picture, and there are cer
tain things that they will think about
now, and among others is the resolve to
bring out the unanimous vote of the par
ty which has lonji been in the majority
and another is to cut from the study of
monarchial customs in Russia all such
Grand Old Party patriots as the editor
ol the Philadelphia Press.
