Mr. J. K. Uilmore published a wont
entitled "The Roar G iard of the
Revolution." It was all about John
Sevier, the battlo of K ng'a Moun

the press of the count y. j He( has
published a second volutne-a sort of
sequel called "John Sovier as a

some notices of it in orthern ex

lead us to suppose then it should be
taken in hand by some of jour writers
who have the leisure to dp so and its
gross errors and slanders khororighly
exposed. Mr. Gilmore is n Northern
writer but he does not seem capable
of telling the truth as! .to histo
ry even when that history lis of
the last century or later. I We
do not expect Northern Writers to
observe the strictest veracity when
the war between the States is under
discussion. But it is not too much
to expect when an historic "period is
under review, in which the South
was the sole acEor and the North bad
only a remote interest, that the veri
ties should be carefully guarded and
that the story unfolded should be
based noon the solid facts of historv.

"as peaceful" and after awhile "the

A PRESIDENTIAL TICKET.
"And, really, what a splendid ticket
Clevelscd and Carlisle would make! It
would fairly represent the best sentiment,
especially the Democratic sentiment, of the
South and North." N. T.0rapkic, Bern
That would be a strong ticket in
many respects. Mr. Cleveland is
gaining faror. He is strong with
the Mugwu mps. He ia growing in
strength a!mong Democrats. He
would impart strength because he it
regarded aai a honest, earnest Presi
dent, striving to give the country a
better Administration than it has had
since Buch; nau retired. His weak
point h the 'ish vote. Can he carry
New York iigjtinst Blaine or Sher
man or ison or Hawley or Gre
sham? Ne York must be?Tp;cured
to win the victory. Wo'til5 &r;Car
lisle add strength to the'ticket in any
section? Not in the Eastern States
surely, but he might draw strength
to the party in some few of . the
Northwestern States, where Low
Tariff views are beginning to prevail
more and more. In the South he
would add enthusiasm and zeal, and
the real Democrats would be happy
in having such an exponent of their
views on the Presidential ticket.
But as we 'ventured to hint a few
weeks since, the fact that! Mr. Car
lisle is a Southern man might prove
an element of weakness in those por
tions of the North where it might be
of the first importance that the ticket
should be strong. Much as the Star
admires Mr. Carlisle and would re
joice in seeing him in thejPresiden
tial Chair, it can but regard his nom
ination for the second place hazard
ous, and of doubtful expediency, to
say the leist.
The ticket would well represent
North and Sijmtb, East and West,
but the Democrats have no votes to
lose. The jery strongest, mast
available : ticket should be chosen if
we would bear off the stakes.
We do not behevo that Sam Ran
dall would support the ticket. He is
not a Democrat except in name. He"
represents neither the principles n'or
policy of the Democratic narty. .If
the nominating convention under
takes to placate Randall and bis pe
rennial Kickers then it will handi
cap the ticket at the start. Tariff
Reformers will not fee satisfied with
any platform; that is broad enough
for a Penn9ylyanian Protectionist to
stand on.
Mr. Carlisle would make a Presi
dent of a very high order. But his
day is not yet: if it ever comes. The
Democrats have about determined
npon Mr. Cleveland. It will be
highly important to strengthen him
as far as it is j possible to do so by
selecting the most popular Western
man who is known to be trustworthy
and eonnd as to Democratic nrinm.

HOW ItKPCBLICANS APPIJT CIVII.
; SERVICE BEFOBIB. " -
The Republican party pretends to
be quite in earnest in the matter of
Civil Service Reform. The Stab
has not for a moment been deceived
by its apparent sincerity, jit has
prophecied more than once that if
the Republicans should return to
power in 1889, that they would kick
the Curtia-Britiah Jaw out -of their
Way as boys kick their rubber balla.
The whole history of the Republican
party proves that it is a party that
Steadfastly believes in and invaria
My practices the much attacked
"spoils system." Did they not for
a quarter of a century take posses
sion of all of . the offices in the
country and put in their most active,
aid of ten. their most unscrupulous
party tools? Nay, did they not even
create thousands of offices in order to
give their henchmen ' places? - When
they get a' chance 'at the swill tub
aain, if that curne should befal the
land, will they allow the Democratic
su jkera to stand aronnd and enjoy
th j good things? Not a bit of it.
Ti e crack of the party whip will
be heard, and tho last Democrat
in office will be retired quickly to
thu ohades of private life to medi
tate npon the fickleness of party pa
tro nage, the uncertainty of daily
grub got from Uncle Samuel'a de
mesne and the bamboozling quali
ties of the monumental humbug of
this century, j They will find that
Republican promises are mide to be
broken, and that
" Tae ample proposilion. that hope ninkes
Ia !1 designs began on earth below
f ails in the promised largeness."
The Stab recently pointed to the
action of the Republicans in Massa
chusetts in State affairs where they
disregarded the entire underlying
prifkcipltt of the Civil Service law
andj gave iha patronage to thoso of.
their own political household. -
There is still another and more
fee nt example of Republican decep
tion and disregard of the humbug
law they prate so mueh about. In
Cincinnati there ia what 19 called the
Board of Public Affairs, f It has
charge of several departments of the
city government. It is a Board created
by a Republican Legislature. What
did the Republican Governor For-ake-
do io filling the Board ? There
were five persons to' be selected.
There are thousands of capable and
intelligent Democrats in Cincinnati.
But not one of these was selected.
Tim Governor appointed Jive Repub
licans to the Jive places, :
Now what did these, five members
do vhen appointed? They turned put
every Democrat in office under their
control, and put Republicans in their
pi toes. And that is precisely the kind
of Civil Services Reform that Demo
ocnis will be subjected to whenever
the Republican grabbers get control
of he Federal offices. The last Dem
ocrat will have his official head
chopped off. .-:
''he Blaine Republican Club, of
Cii cinnati, demanded the , discharge
of all Democrats. Gen.-Young, a
member of the Republican Board,
offered a resolution which was adopt
ed. That resolution declared that
"the so called Civil Service Reform
has proved a delusion and a snare
under all administrations since its
inception, whether Republican or
Democratic, , either in Federal, State
or municipal governments." ; The
resolution also declared that "it is
the policy of this Board, with a view
solely to perpetuate "the preponder
ance for the public good' of the Re
publican party in this city, and by
its example in 'every Republican
county and municipality in the State
of Ohio, that all -appointments here
after : made; or to be made, by it
shall be good, honest, industrious
Republicans." '
,We make some comments thus :
First, the Republicans , think Civil
Service Reform an excellent thing
for them whenever the Democrats are
in power, second, that Civil Service
Reform is not good for municipal af
fairs when Republicans are in power.
Third, that Civil Service Reform is
only to be advocated by Republicans
as j to Federal patronage when the
distribution of favors is in the bands
of Democrats. Fourtb,: that the
much talked of law must not be ex
tended to State matters, unless it be
under - circumstances favoring-; Re
publican control of the offices.
In North Carolina, there are a good
many woriny, intelligent .Democrats
who are very .much' enamored of the
life tenure system and think' it an
excellent things for : the country.
They applaud Mr. Cleveland to the
echo; jtot because he executes the
law, for that is his sworn duty, and
he cannot well avoid it; but because
he j favors i the ' indefinite contin
uance of a system that is Bri
tish; : that . is at ' war with
the very genius of our republican in
stilutions; that removes the power
of control from thepeople and places
it in the hands of a peripatetic Com
mission; that fastens upon the coun
try thousands "of office-holders for
life, 4nd thus destroys the time-
honored and thoroughly tested prin
eiple that frequent changes in offi
cials are necessary to the safety of
our institutions and to the pnrity of
the public service. The War Office
in England is known to be honeys
combed with corruption under this
life tenure system. ; ; "
" But the North Carolina Democrats
who favor a British law as applied to
underlings in office da not propose, so.

ramifying and precious blessings to
the higher offices under the U. S.
Gdv.ernmeBt. Why not ? Can it be
possible that the welfare and safety
of k great Government depend more
upon a few understrappers than upon
the! great " officials ? v Who - believes
thai? j- , ." . -
i Once more: we cannot learn that
North Carolina Democrats meditate
designs; that will lead them to pro
poses to- apply the Civil Service rules
to Slate officials. . Why not? It ia a
moss excellent law, say they, and
wipea out the "infamous spoils doc

If the 'spoils system" h so infamous
then get rid of it. Let no man hold

is the greatest gathering known in the Btate.
Nine hundred and fifty members of the As.

The North Carolina Teachers' Assembly

the most pronounced successes in the edu

The number of teachers and friends of
education present on last Sunday, Monday
ana Tuesday was from 800 to 1.000. The
exercises were conducted by our leading
teachers and have, so far, been full of in
terest and value tq all. This is truly a
norm uaronna gatnerincr, lor as yet all or
tne spea&ers are rtortn Carolina teachers.
The exercises increase in interest daily and
while the rest of the State is sweltering in

enjoying the cool breezes of Morehead but
are also growing in knowledge or the best
methods of education as presented by our
leaaing teacners. up to date more than
sixty-live counties are represented and
every train brings fresh arrivals. Surely
it ia a credit to our teachers that so many
attend these annual meetings, and our State
is fortunate in having such a hotel as the

crowd. -

which he reviewed the evidence and gave
his reasons for believing that lithe boy was
guilty of manslaughter, and recommended
to the Governor that his sentence be com
