" " , .50 JCHIPED THE FENCE. Col .1. R. Winston, of Caswell, two years ago became wild ovef the green back craze. He has been riding his hobby ever since. Those who knew him best marvelled at his infatuation an'iV untcniDered zeal. Those who knew him only through the papers thought him certain to end;, cither in a mad house or in the lap of Radical ism For a few weeks lie. has been very abusive of the Democratic party. That was regarded near his home as a bid for Radical favors. ' He has got his reward.' He is now the Radical nominee for the U. S. House against Gen, Alfred M. Scales., i.IIis Green back craze had method in it. It was4 so fashioned as to adapt itself to Rad ical exigencies. ' ' ,; L It was manifest - that Jim Leach would not answer for an opponent of the gallant and popular Scales. t Jim is a dead-weight on the -wings of aspiring Radicalism. So some other Democratic traitor must be found. The Caswell Greenbacker t was hun gry and lonesome. He stood -like Barkis of old, hat in hand, and with "watering month." If Scales does not . beat Winston as mch as he would have beaten Leach, then we are a false prophet! ' The people of ' the Fifth District have far, more respect for open, square-but Republicans, like Keogh and Ball, than, they have "-for political sneaks, who seek Radi cal p:istures under the cover of a disguise' . that neither ;";adorhs nor conceals. If a true-blue Radical could not defeat Scales, what chance is there for a fellow who goes 'back on his entire, record, betrays his friends and sells out t6 the enemy? Gen. S':alessaid pointedly some weeks aga that he. was "not afraid of an army led by deserters." So Win ston's coquetting ends and the nup tials have been duly performed. - His Greenbackism has been wedded to Radicalism. . . An unholy and . un promising alliance. - ; A GOOD EXAMPLE. : The Georgians have set the Demo crats of North Carolina an example worthy of emulation.; After a big beating of the tom-toms nd a con- tinned sounding'of , the Independent hew gags and a .loud blowing of the anti-Stephens press they ; Democrats have marched up' to the polls and done their duty. ;., A long tried and honored Statesman a man of, high - integrity and unquestioned .ability has been elected Governor 'after passing his more than three - score years -and ten, and by a very satis- factory majority. '' The Legislature is almosJLaJtiWBsvi- In this action of the Georgians ! we t may see an ex ample we should be prompt to copy. Georgians know what their true in terests are and they have a memory of the past. - We must hope that in November the Democrats of ' North Carolina will bury all differences; lay aside all prejndicesand as good sol fliers m solid arrays, will march to the performance--of freeinens duty itu aiacniy ana aetermmation. , IT 1 : n ; " united estates -H-ngmeers ' report that the Roanoke River can be made navigable, from ; Clarksville,' Va., to Gaston, N.

AN OLD THICK. Every newspaper reader knows of tb old Radical trick of emDlovinff I a "monumental j jackass" to bray for the old corrupt party.
