SOME VIEWS SUGGESTED BY THE APPROACHING STATE CONTEN If we are not deceived the outlook for:a Democratic.victory in Novem ber; in North. Carolina is steadily im proving. We are all prone to jj make our, wishes father to our thoughts. and it may be that in surveying the political field we are misled by re ' ports and opinions- and draw too M lit"'' " ' 4. V . iavpraDie aupcnry irom cenain signs. "Wei can say with entire , truthfulness that we are more hopeful, now! than we were sixty or ninety days ago. When the candidates are in the field ill. ! - - -L andjthe contest has fairly begun ithen every 1 paper and every - politician must show his true colors. - "Under which king, Bezonian?"; There will be no chance then of running with the hare and holding with the hounds. Whoever is not for the Democratic ticket is against, j It will be then seen, we must hope, that the bolters are not very numerous, and it will be known too how utterly powerless are so-called Democrats to mislead or beguile! their fellows when they have broken ranks and deserted to the; enemy. The specious plea of "Lib eralism" has less in it to commend it to men of sense, candor and bones ty than any other party clap-trap that was ever sprung. It is too weak and meaningless to deceive any one; who is not Hankering after Stalwart flesh- pot.s-i ; I If thp Democrats are careful to se lect a first-rate ticket we believe with proper jeffort' it will be elected.- A weakl ticket, intellectually morally and politically, may invite defeat. Let us make no mistake at this point. Let every delegate to the State Con vention be , animated with a high ; -sense of duty and patriotism and loy .alty.'1 Let no man go there with a vlslate in his pocket. Let there be no shameful swapping of candidates' and of votes between the coun- - ties j on the floor of the con v. vention to disgustall men of decen- cy and : Fairness. Let no favorites be coached by infatuated or interested friends to the serious j detriment of the party. Let the end aimed at be success. Let the purpose be to select - the best possible men for the several places; ; Another thing to be considered is organization. There has never been anything like real organization in the Democratic party in North Carolina. If a person is fatuous enough to think so then he knows very little of what organization is. In certain lo calities there has been thorough or- . .ganization at times.. In this city in -one election at least there was such organization. In the county of Pitt, . as wo have had occasion to mention with all the particulars, there was one year rigid organization, and it was . owing entirely to the manage ment of Thomas J. Jarvis, then a candidate for the . Legislature. If . were possible and why not? to organize every - county : as' Jar -pis organized his party in Pitt, we sincerely believe that the Democrats would carry. North Carolina by full tbirty thousand votes possibly by ,many; Jmore. According to the rule for . estimating votes'" -according to population, at least 40,000 men in . North - Carolina never , votel The highest J vote ever ''polled" in North Carolina was in 1880, iwhen the total . was 240,082. -According to the rule atyleast 280,000 votes are in the State. ! This is upon the basis of one vote in every five of the population. We think in some of j the cities even . one vote in every four and one-half of the population has been polled. ', . 1 It seems to us that the Convention - ought not to adjourn until it has per fected a plan of thorough organiza tion, ' ' A part of the plan of an effec tivecampaign is to have the whole State thoroughly canvassed. In every township, and in every county the . best speakers should take a hand. The District and County Committees ; should - be,, sure to see that this ia -done.; ; A list of the qualified speak-' era should be made out and personal application made to1 each with all ..due urgency. - The main thing eiri organization, after discussing great" questions and showing" the people why they should . a w stand by the old Democraticr flag, is to net people to the potts. This can only be done by perfect, systematic, thorough organization, . - - Another thing, we may mention in this connection, that the State Con vention should certainly da, is to adopt a plan of representation for that body. A rule should be adopted so as to prevent all future, bodies from being , unnecessarily large and unwieldy. In old : times the' Whig and Democratic State Conventions did not exceed 200 delegates. They spent two days always in deliberation and speaking. The first day was de voted to a calm consideration of plans, to the discussion or the claims of men in order to make the best se lections.: On the second day nomina tions were made, and then came thc feast of reason" and, the. display. of manly and stirring - eloquence. A Convention of jiot more than" 400 delegates is ample. The work would be better done because" there would less of confusion and hurry. . ; , V We shall refer to another, impor tant matter hereafter the platform to be adopted. We recently expressed our views' at some length, but just how it is allowable to give line upon line. - Our sole aim is to save the btate to the Democrats. ' We believe in our heart that the best interests of the! people and of the tax-payers especially are directly involved in the success of that party that routed the Radicals in 1870, and has since saved millions of dollars to the people who bear the public burdens. i The Proposed Reunion at .

An Old Citizen Has Ills $kall FearfaW I i Crashed 1t a PaIUn urtoetc of TVood, AC. Mr. A, G. Black, formerly: of Fayef te- ville, but for the past two or three years an esteemed citizen of this place, met with a terrible accident yesterday morning, about 9. 30 o'clock. It appears that Mr.- Black, who was employed at Capt. Sam. Skinner's marine . railway, went. to. Wilson's . steam sawynill to get some large block, for use at the shipyard ; and also to pay, a bill which wa due by Capt, Skrnner to Mi. Wilson. He called at Mr, Ws office, paid the bill and presented the order for the blocks. when he was told that they would be sent as. . soon as possible,. He ' said be would go - and pick .' . some out ' that be wanted for immediate use, and . left the of fice ' for that purpose, Mr, Wilson sup posed he had gone out into the yard wjiere the blocks were usually piled up, but in stead of that it seems , he went around the mill to a point where blocks were being thrown from an upper window, and where he was immediately after hit by one, which. Struck him bleeding and senseless to the. ground, where he was shortly afterwards discovered. He was taken with all possible dispatch to his home, above the store on the northeast corner of Front and Dock streets, and surgical ; attention ; procured. when his condition was pronounced very critical one, his skull being badly fractured on the right side,near the temple, and his entire right , side being paralyzed. He remained totally unconscious and speechless during the day. The only won der is that he was- ' not killed instantly, as the block, which was thrown from a win dow about fifteen feet; high ' was about seven or eight feet, in length.'' and ten by ten in its other dimensions, weighing about two hundred pounds. The place where he received the terrible blow ' was an unfre quented one, except by those employed on the premises; hence no look-out was kept or fear entertained of a possible accident. A large number of the . friends of the un fortunate man called to see him during yesterday, and the attentions upon him were unremitting. - ; ' . . -.: ; At 12 o'clock last night Mr. Black was still alive, but his condition was unchanged..

Last week, we learn, Rl Rev. Bishop Northrop visited the New Berne Mission, under the charge of Rev. J. J. Reilly. In St. Paul's church, H"ew Berne, the Bishop confirmed six persons, at GoHsbom nine and at Halifax two. .'The Bishop has secured lots m Weldon, Tarboro and Goldsboro, on which he in tends to erect churches: Liberal subscrip tions have been received for the purpose. He expects to be able- to dedicate the churches at the above places in December. On Sunday, in St. Thomas "church, in this city, the Bishop confirmed thirty can didates, six of whom were adults. The Bishop intends to Visit the Ilickorv and JJaleigh missions next month Deatla orair. Thomas JKonls. This community regretted "very much on Sunday to hear of the death of Mr. Thomas Monk,' proprietor of the well known and extensive truck gardens a short distance beyond the city limits, r - Deceased was bora in Ireland and was aged about 63 ? vears. He came here from Norfolk,' Virginia; in 1855, having some time' previous! v resided in Charleston. He was a man of sterling integrity; enterprising in business matters, having by industry and economy acquired a small competence, and was in every ,way a worthy and useful citizen, who will be sadly missed. . .
