Means, is our choice for solicitor because he is an able law yer, an honest man and is independ ent and free from all parties. We are glad to see that the fac tionsof republicans in Georgia have laid aside their differences and agreed upon one ticket, they may {“down” old man Stephens, alter all. Why should we not vote for Frank Osborne ? Because he is the regular nominee of the democratic party, —he is on the wrong side, hence we can’t Why should we vote for W. G. Means ? Because he is opposed to the present system of county govern ment and favors a free vote and a fair court; hence we should. Success for us in this county is sure, but let ns get every vote we can to make the majority as large as possible. Up and at’em. The Liberal ticket was unani mously endorsed last Saturday by the Republicans, without alteration or amendment. It will be trium phantly elected on the 7th of No vember. Let the Liberals and Republicans sapport tho Messingir and we will have the best organization and the fullest vote ever in this county. Everybody is in earnest and means to win or bust. Is it not strange that democrats advise colored men so strongly against coalition, and advised them to nominate colored men, when they have not nominated one themselves in the entire State ? Where is the republican in Meck lenburg who will not support the coalition ticket put out last Satur day ? He is a chronic office-seeker or a sick office-holder. He wants to vote for the democrats and takes that for an excuse. Mark him. Organize a club in every ward and precinct in the county. And go about it at once. Wait for nothing go to work, organize your club, send the name of the president and secre tary to the Messenger as soon as you organize. In Richmond county last Satur day a straightout Republican ticket was nominated. J. M. Smith for sheriff; Z. F. Long, clerk; N. W. Harllee, register; W. H. Woodward, legislature. The last two are color ed. What has a solicitor to do with the county government ? No more than a Congressman. Mr. C. C. Clark declined to let his name go before the democratic convention because he was not in accord with that party. Because that is tho grand question at issue. Why should we support a man who opposes county government?. Because it is that which we arc fighting against in this campaign. Because we alt oppose the present system of county government and the democrats favor it- Then sup port Means, he opposes it. The man who talks against any man on the ticket does the party an injustice. We have a ticket, now let all stand by every man on it, whether we like it on not. Don’t stand around on the street talking against your own ticket. Democrats don’t do that way, and that's why they heat us. If you don't mean to vote for a man don’t tell it. but go and don’t vote for the other man. Why its a meaner democrat against him. Vote the ticket straight. Who are the little clap-trap, street-corner, ward politicians sup porting for solicitor? We arc told some of them have been seen take money. They are suspicioned. They must learn for all time to come if they are going to work for any part of the Democratic nominees, they may as well go over horse and rider, for they shall not be recogni zed as truthful men. They can't canvass for both sides at once and be honest. If they canvass for Os borne, they should work for Ben nett, Dowd and all the rest. The most unprincipled dirt-dinger of all the papers in the State, claim ing to be published by colored men is a sheet in Newberne called the Banner. His sole object seems to be to vilify and bemean colored men generally. We have never believed that a colored man does the writing for it; if there is a colored man so low and depraved as to abuse his race, one by one, as this sheet does, that man ought to be shunned by all decent people. BAD ADVICE. We do not want to he personal for we think personalities ought to be kept out of politics, but we see in several papers a letter sighed D. A. Jenkins, which advises republicans to support the refular democratic ticket, when there is no straight-oat republican in the field. We regret to see Mr. Jenkins put himself in such an awkward position. We have had much confidence in him and great respect for his advice; but such as this will never do. The Messenger advises you to vote for any one who is against the regular democratic nominee, when there is no straight-oat in the field. We do not think it advisable to say any thing agliiu-st Mr. J. more than wc think he is mistak. n in his advice. The republicans of North Carolina have accepted the coalition ticket and they are going to support it. HELP US NOW. The Messenger is determined to battle for the republican-coalition ticket, State and county. It asks to be recognized by the candidates and friends of both parties, and opens its columns to the pens of those who wish to write. All know the paper cannot live on good words and hopes. We must have money. Subscribe and take the paper. Tho time of a great many of our subscri bers expire with this issue. They will-please renew; we need money now. We have got to travel and work hard. You want the news, you say you like the paper, then pay for it- Let everybody take it and advise his neighbor to do so. We want a thousand new subscri bers by the 15th of October. We want five hundred of them by the first. Persons who have been tak ing it for three months will please renew at once. GOOD LORDDELIVER US. Benjamin F. Butler, commonly called the ‘-Beast,” was, on Tuesday last, nominated by the Democrats of Massachusetts for Governor of that State. We wonder what will become of the virtuous daughter of that State, should the “Beast” get elected, and attempt to enforce bis supplemental civil rights bill. He was a short time ago nominated by the Greenbackers. Wonder what our Southern Democrats think of their Northern brethren ? Ben But ler is the most radical, spoon ; handled hybrid beast we have known them to tackle yet. Colored men down here are told they ought not to vote for men who are nomi nated by two parties. Hero the Democrats of Massachusetts take up lie most radical, rebel-hating Republican yankee of the east —a nominee of the Greenback party, and offer him to the Democratic party of that State for governor. From such hypocritical dema gogues, Good Lord, deliver us. From deceit, false doctrines and evil disposed men, Good Lord deliver us. WHERE THE MESSENGER STANDS. Many have asked us what we think of the ticket. Wo will en deavor to tell them in a few words. We stand just where we have stood all the while. We are with the peo ple—the Republican party. The Republican party, in convention as sembled, last Saturday, said, by a unanimous vote that the Liberal ticket should be the Republican ticket for this county, and there is nothing for us to do but stand by the action of that convention. - We are for the ticket as it stands —horn first to last—every man. We apprehend no serious trouble. We know every true heated Repub lican is willing to abide by the ac tions of the majority. We know that when they see that it is either this ticket or worse—the regular Democratic ticket—they will throw aside their personal feelings and come up like men and vote for this ticket. Why should Republicans at this late day attempt to kick out of harness? For what cause is there discontention, and who is dis contented? When have we ever had a straight republican ticket in this county ? Two years ago we had about as many democrats on the ticket as we have now. One year ago we voted for democratic and republican aldermen and a dem ocratic mayor. Now if we can’t elect a republican, why not vote for a democrat now ? At tho proper time the Messenger opposed coali tion and made its fight within the party; but the party has spoken in convention and declared for coali tion as in the State, and wo have submitted to the wishes of the ma jority, and shall give our whole in fluence for tho whole ticket. Can’t we support any man on that tickot as well as the democrats supported Greeley ? And while wo support tho objectionable men on this ticket we have their aid in electing the men whom we really want. We must lake some hitters to get some sweets. Why, wo should not expect to have a ticket suit us all, even if every man on it was a republican. The Messenger is the organ of the people, and [it is for this ticket now and until every man on it is elected. Voto the tick et straight. THE STAR OF ZION-ITS POLITICS. Wo had concluded to have noth ing more to say of the Star of Zion just yet, hut looking over the col umns of the last issue, wo see it keeps standing at the head of its column the democratic ticket and under it the republican and liberal ticket. Upon seeing this one won ders why it is so ? Does tho Star mean to support the democratic ticket? Wo failed to find a line of editorial in this great connectional paper upon anything, and of course could form no opinion lrom reading it The Star is tho organ of our church and we want to see it take a proper position in politics if it takes any at all. As it is more dependent upon the colored people than any other paper for support, we can not see how it can hesitate to take a stand for the colored man’s party, and as tho editor is now in the ser vice of the government —a sorvant of a republican administration, he should not support a party averse to the administration. Friends of the Star have asked us if we did not want to have the Messenger take the placo of the Star. We can say it never once en tered our mind ’till mentioned to us, and we say further we are now pub lishing just such a paper as we de sire to publish—a secular paper has been long needed in this section. The Messenger and the Star occupy entirely different fields, and wo are not at all envious and are perfectly satisfied, so far as the running of two papers go. Wo do think as proud and as strong a connection as Zion ought to support an editor like a gentleman for his services. We think it beneath the dignity of the editor of a connectional paper to run as a mail agent. Wc are glad to learn of the editor's good luck and think ho ought to resign his placo as editor, for ho now has a Slaco much better suited to the man. [ion has a host of men ready to take hold of the Star and make it what it ought to he. All it needs is to be properly edited and managed. The folly of carrying tl o paper to Salisbury is again forced upon the public. Neither editor nor manager in forty miles of the paper. The last issue, though filled with something, had not a lino of editorial or local news. Wo suggest to Zion’s ministers as they have very easily gotten rid of their editor and he now fills a position for which he is much better fitted than editing the Star, let them give him a free pass and take Price, Tyler, Dancy, Thomas, W. R. Moore or some good man to edit the paper. Let them take men in Zion Wesley whom they can defend and all will be well. The Messenger means to ask no favors of tho church more than its prayers. We intend to run our own paper as long as we can, newspaper killers to the contrary notwith standing. But we mean to look out for our connectional institutions. It is needless to attempt to build strong and lasting edifices upon rotten foundations. Let the faculty of our institutions bo spotless from head to foot and no man shall do more according to his opportunities than the editor of the Messenger. Now let us hear the name of the ed itor of the Star. Let us hear the names of the assistant teachers of the institution and the columns of the Messenger shall be open to the good of the church and all her in stitutions. Gen'l Ransom’s speech at Greens boro, last week, was the strongest appeal to the sectional and color lines we have heard for a long time. The speech was lacking in states manship. It was unworthy tho Sen ator. — IY.C. National. James H.
