Thkrk appeared in iheYadkin Valley
jVeun, of last week, an article. with regard
to the action of the late congressional
convention at Yadkmville. ' As the arti
cle does not represent the sentimentsj of
more than six or eight persons, and is pot
at all in accordance with the wishesj of
Major Rob bins, himself, and as we have
reason to believe the artiele was inspired,
if not written, by another than the edijtor
of the JVetcs, we do not deem it necessary
to give it an extended notice. We will
say this, however, that while we Kiay
have our peisonal preferences, still, wen
a convention, conducted according to par
ty rules, has settled the claims of rival as
pirants, all true Democrats the JVeu to
the eontrary notwithstanding will fao
eent the result, and assist in electing 4h
I 7 - M ; !T 5"
nominee.
An exchange sayv a Texas man mar
ried a North Carolina girl, and the couple

You needn't believe it if you don't want
to.
The Republican candidate for the Pres-T
ldtncy was not nominated because he could :
bring to bit party a flavor tff loyalty
which it otherwise needed. He was not
acniinatei 1ecaus hii reco b a blan)
oil 'the vital questions, which tbe people
of this country : re miking ewnest mqal
ries about ; he was not nominated as a
mask, behind which forces could gather
which tried to shoot the Government to
f ath and which more lately threatened
to "Starve the Government to death. But
that's what's tbo the matter with Han
eockj which nobody can deny. Union
Rtpublictn.
If we could arrive at some definite mi
ners tand ing ai to what should coastitute
a teat of loyalty, it would be be less diffi
cult to cuter calmly into an argument as
to whether Gen Hancock's nomination
added the "flavor of loyalty" which the
Dcmrocratic party "needed," or, wheth
er, indeed, it needed any such "flavor of
loyalty" at all.
If we take the test applied by the Re-
pvblic&n, i. e., loyalty to the Republican
party, and the thieves who have made, in
a large part, its history for the last ten
years, then we confess the "flavor of loy
alty'f is still lacking, and we most de
voutly hope it ever will be. There is a
persistent and determined effort upon the
part of Republican editors and orators,' to
confound the Government with the Re
publican party. Why, for instance,;
should it be deemed necessary to vouch1
for the loyalty of Gen. Jobuston, and
not of Gcti. Longstreet ' Or, why should
Gov. Jarvis be called a traitor, when no
such charge is at the door of Gen. Ba;
ringer ! As to the insinuation that Gen.
H-ancok's "record ir a blank on all the
vital questions which the people of the.
country are making enquiries about,"
why that is only another instance of con
founding. It is true, Gen. Hancock has
no record as a legislator, but in proof of
the fact that he has a first rate idea of the
theory of our Government, we respect
fully refer our contemporary to the fol
lowing language, taken from Gen. Han
cock's letter of acceptance, tithe bayonet
is not the proper implement to collect the
ballots of freemen," a lesson in the sci"
ence of Constitutional government which
neither the Republican nor its party
seem .to have as yet, been able to learn.
Again, the Republican thinks that
Hancock was nominated "as a mask be
hind which forces could gather which
tried to shoot the Government to death
and which more lately threatened to
starve the Government to death," As
to starving business, the record with
which the Democratic party goes bofore
the country was endorsed by Mr. Gar
field, who, in offering the amendment to
the Appropriation- Bill, regulating the
appiontment of deputy marshals, fully
recognised the justice of the demands
made by the Democrats in Congress. If
is was wrong in the Democratic party, it
was doubly so of Mr. Garfield, as he is
"one of the faithfull," and, it must be
presumed, sinned against light and knowl
edge.; As to the shooting part, we can inform
the Republican that a sufficient number
of those who shot to keep the Govern
ment alive, will vote with the Democrats
to make them successful, and that will be
a sufficient answer to a charge whioh
needs' no answer with sensible people.
And cow, will the Republican please
inform us why Gen. Garfield was nomi ta
ted by the Republicans 1 Not, we should
say, to give to the party the flavor of bri
bery, corruption and perjury which hung
around him like a garment, for alas ! that
was already too prevalent.
ILLUSTRATION BY PICTURES.
One of the great contrasts between the
School Books used by the fathers and
mothers of the land, when young, and
those now used by the children, is the use
of pictures. As a curious instance of il
lustrating the meaning of words by pic
torial illustration, the pictures in the new
edition of Webster's Unabridged Dic
tionary in connection with the following
twelve words, Beef, Boiler, Castle, Col
umn, Eye, Horse, Mouldings, Phrenolo
gy, Ravelin, Sups', Steam Engine, Tim
bers, illustrate and define the meaning of
more than 3410 words and terms, as may
be seen by examining the Dictionary.
The Chairman of the Democratic State
Executive Committe wants the names of
all county and township committees, witli
the names of the chairman of each and
their post office. Also, the name and
post omce oi one active democrat in
