la this, issue of the Star we pub
lish the address of the Democratic
State ; Committee to the people of
North Carolina, and commend It to
the perusal and thoughtful consid
eration of every voter . who wishes
well to North Carolioa. This ad
dress is a plain statement of the
efforts made by the Committee to
draw together and solidify, the
friends of stiver and of good govern
ment, even at the sacrifice of Surreo
dering to some extent for the time
being our Party organization, rand it
shows the motive and reasons for the
easy and unlimited it could not have
accomplished, the Intention better. ;.
Atl.Thls has inspired : the Repub
lican leaders with confidence in their
ability to carry the State, so much
so that Daniel I. Russell j boastingly
proclaims from the stump' that he Is
as good as elected now, and is sow
engaged la thinking up his inaug
ural address. But that is Russell
bombast. He doesn't; feel confident
by any means, altboughLhe; is a san
guine kind of a man, but he thinks
this kind of braggadocio will have a
stimulating, enthusing effect on the
mobs he talks, to and contribute to

If : this movement had been met in
the patriotic spirit ; which prompted
it, by those who spoke and acted lor
the Populist party, the friends of free
silver, and the opposition to the Ke".
publican- party, would be moving in
solid line to-day and there would be
no shadow of doubt as to: where
North Carolina would be found on
the third day of next November.
In its tenders of co operation the
Committee representing the Demo
cratic party made patriotic and what
many Democrats' regarded as; ha
miliatlag" concessions, but it " did
what it thought the wise and'dutifut
wing - ta flo,: of which little doubt
wlli remain: after reading this ad
dress. There -is to be no more par
Ieying now, no more propositions, nor
counter-propositions. : The Commit-,
tee has, as" it saw it, discharged, its
duty, made every effort to draw the
mcuua ui silver ana - good . govern
ment together, and if it failed and
unfortunately the State fall into the
hands of the Republicans, j the re
sponsibility will not rest upon tbem,
but upon those who for motives best
known r to themselves rejected the
propositions, when, they knew ; that
the only effect of their refusal ind of
the independent action wast to give
aid and comfort to the Republicans,"
and to put obstacles ' in th v of
the cause to which they professed
loyal allegiance. '
The die is cast, the Rubicon is
crossed, the fight is on, and we Dem
