Elections were held in 35 States on
Tuesday. ;
The black eye the New York
Times got relieves our distress no
little. ." ' " '-,
The election on . Tuesday will
hardly be claimed as an Administra
tion victory.
It is a grievous mistake to suppose
that a politician can tote water on
both shoulders.
The New Ycrk World - owes it to
itself to dish Crawford, its man. in
charge of its Washington . corres
pondence. The Democrats must do better in
18S3, The lesson of 1886 ia that no
party can win that does not fight on
principle. .
With a good ticket all aronnd in
1888 the Democrats may win. They
will have at least a good fighting
chance. V ..
Unless Democrats abide by the
decisions of Conventions in good
faith party organization is destroyed
and no party can win.
Lowell's friends say that he will
not marry the English peeress who
has already had two husbands. Haw
thorne is probably sorry. .'
Thorndike Rice, the millionaire
who publishes the Republican North
American Review, has been left at
heme. This is good very good. -
The big papers scouted and laugh
ed at Henry George's candidacy, but
he made an excellent race better
than any other man could have done
probably.
We cannot express our deep re
gret over the defeat of Carlisle and
Morrison, the two leaders of the
Democracy in the House. It is a
great calamity to the party and to
the country.
After 1st December next Chief
Justice Waite and Justices Bradley
("aliunde" Joe) Miller and Field are
eligible for retirement. But will
thev retire ? "Not . if the court
knows herself." ,
The election of Abram Hewitt as
Mayor cf the greatest American city,
gives much satisfaction to the Dem
ocracy generally. We would sap
pose that his triumph will bring his
name to the front as a possible can
didate for the Presidency in 1888.
W i th Carlisle, Morrison, He witt.
Tucker, Barbour, Bennett and other
leading, brainy men in the present
House left oaf of the next House the
Democrats will lack for . leaders of
experience and high ability. Of
course there will be still some men of
this kind left, bat it will make a great
hlank to have these able men re
moved. " - - -
- The Democrats - have pot voted.
That is the cause of the political
earthquake. In Masonboro township
VOL. XXXIX. NO. 38.
there were but 65 votes polled, when
the full vote is-125. It is a Demo
cratic township but it went Repub
lican. Over half . of the Democrats
remained at home. Gen. Apathy,
Colonel Disgust and Major Indiffer
ence were in command this year.
What gave them prominence? - I
We had the - pleasure of . a -visit
from Maj. Gen. Callen 'Battle, of
Alabama formerly, -: but r now : of
Wadesboro, this State. He is a dis
tinguished Confederate, and is .of
good North Carolina stock. His
father was Dr. Cullen Battle, of
Edgecombe. Gen. Battle is the
agent for Gen. Long's forthcoming
Life of Gen. Robert E. Lee. the
knightliest soldier of the world. ,.
There is no doubt of wide-spread
dissatisfaction in the . Democratic
ranks. It is not confined to any one
State. Democrats feel disappointed
ana hundreds of thousands have be
come indifferent. In Washino-ton
the Southern men are laying all or
the calamities upon the Cleveland
Administration. This is unjust in
part. -The Knights of Labor and
Prohibition have had a j hand in the
Democratic disaster. At Raleigh
Knights of Labor who have been
life-long Democrats voted for John
Nichols, one of the most thoroughly
wool died, bitter Radicals in all
North- Carolina. And so Jn many
other places. No doubt the defeat
of many Representatives is owing to
the discontent of Democrats at the
coarse of Mr. Cleveland.

- The Rockingham Rocket speaks
in high terms of Judge Bennett's speech at
that town. .
Raleigh Visitor: A white man

Raleigh News- Observer: Hon.
John Goode, of Virginia. This distin

and is elected over Fortune and Beam.
Hamrick, Lattimore and Wray are elected.
New Bern Journal: Kinston
dot: Gov. Vance's speech here on Friday
was a grand and masterly effort, worthy of
him and of .the occasion. No man can
praise .Vance there is no room foe any
more. . He sways a multitude "at his own
sweet will."; Even all the little boys are
Vance men. La Grange item: The
hardest wind and rain known to the oldest
inhabitants visited this town last Thursday
evening. The rain was almost one solid
sheet of water and the. Wind blew fright
f ully. But little damage was done save the
blowing down of much fencing and the
unroofing of stables and other out-bouses.
Lumberton Robesonian: Oar
county was well represented at the tobacco
break in Fayetteville last week. We have
seen Mr. Josi Prevatt, and he is well
pleased. His lot averaged 13j cents. He
had some which fetched 21 cents, we be
lieve. We hope it will prove satisfactory
to all Tobacco and sugar cane are being
extensively cultivated in this county.
While other farmers were giving their en
tire cotton crop to pay for the guano, Mr.
J. Bennette residing near this town raised
425 bushels of potatoes ; on one acre of
ground. They were not Hamon : potatoes
but Norton yams and were raised without a
pound of commercial fertilizers. - -The
citizens having learned that the Wilming
ton & Weldon Railroad decided to extend
the Wilson Short Cut to some point on the
w;iminftnn TVrinmhia & An frusta Rail
road, held a meeting in the -court houe
hereon Saturday, October 30, 1886. W.
F. French was elected President, and L'. S.
.Town?end Secretary. The universal opin
ion of the meeting was that if the autnorl
ties had. not already decided to run said
road through Lumberton, that steps should
be immediately taken to secure that end.
. Elizabeth City Economist: We
are of opinion that there ia big and easy
money in a pecan nursery near this town.
We have an assured faith that there would
be more money in an acre planted in good
pecan : nuts4n three or four years than in
any other agricultural product. If is the
finest ornamental tree we have, i It
seems to be now conceded that our section
of North Carolina can produce as fine to
bacco as any of the so callea cotton - Deits.

Dare county item : Quite a serious accident
occurred at Manteo a few days ago. J. W.
Evans was moving his goods into his new
store, which he has lust com Dieted, and
put his iron safe on an oxcart. Samuel
Gnffln, Milton Lennon and two negroes
got in the cart to steady it. As they, went
to the new store the cart tongue broke and
threw the safe out into the road. It struck

A Deserved Trlbate.
Capt. James Knight,; so long and 6
prominently connected with the Wilming
ton and Weldon Railroad, was the recipient
last evening of a handsome tribute from
Mr. W. T. Walters, a director of the com
pany. All the prominent officials of the
Atlantic Coast Line, and all employes of
the system located here, assembled in the
large dining room of the Coast Line at the
depot and the throng was augmented by
the presence of a number of ladies and
prominent citizens of Wilmington.
Hon. Geo. Davis presented the testimonial
to Capt Knight on behalf of Mr. Walters,
and alluded feelingly to his own knowledge
of the recipient's worthiness as well as to
the significance of the compliment .coming
from such a source. Mr. Davis' speech
was of course in every way admirable and
felicitous, and Mr. Walters is to be con
gratulated on having so able and distin
guished a representative.
Hon. R. R. Bridgers responded on behalf
of Capt Knight, and made a feeling refer
ence to his own relations with the recipient,
alluding to Capt Knight's long service
and unequalled record, and returning
thanks both to Mr. Walters and Mr. Davis
for the matter and the manner -of their
compliments.
The testimonial is in the shape of a hand
some, elegantly embossed silver pitcher and
salver with the engraving of an engine and
tender, and the letters 'W. & W, Rv R-,"
inscribed on the latter. The salver bears
also the inscription which is undoubtedly
of all, most highly prized by Captain
Knight: .. -
' ' CAPTAIH JAMES KNIGHT,
From His Friend
W T. Walters.
A testimonial to his "never having been
found wanting" during half a century's
Railroad service- Oct. 1886."
After the speeches and while the guests
were examining the testimonial, Mr. T. D.
Mann. Superintendent of . the Atlantic
Coast Line Restaurants, -and Mr. P. E.
Kiley, Manager of the Dining Saloon here,
served an elegant repast during which nu
merous toasts were drank to the good
health and long life of James Knight, the
veteran and popular railroad man.

panied by a low rumbling - noise like dis
tant thunder The shock " was strong
enough' t J make windows rattle. t r
