The N. ion:l Democratic Con vention has given b. the nation (I rover Cleveland, aa the standard bearer of Democracy. It appears that Cleveland has many, many more friends in the country than one would, suppose. Tin Standard is no prophet ; but if North Carolina and several other Southern states have anything to do with the success of Democracy, the Politicians of the State would have us believe the noatiuation exceeding ly unfortunate. It is, we believe, the concensus of opinion, that if Cleveland is elected it will be with out North Carolina's electoral vote. But the Republican have put up a ticket that invites a fight that promises good result?, and the light will be a lively one, indeed. We believe all men recognize in Cleveland an honest mar., but his attitude to the silver quotation 4i rfAinst him. ,-?.,J.

All differences of opinion respecting administrative reform, or silver coinage, or free trade or protection, or the personal qualities or antecedents of candi dates, in short, the whole ordinary array of electoral controversies, are, in comparison, of inferior, indeed of almost trival movement, We mean the question whether those Southern States which have in herited a negro population surpass' ing the number of their white citi zens, by Federal law aud Federal militarv force, be subjected to the political domination of the negroes: to negro Legislatures, negro Gover nor?, and nesrro Judees in their 7 O counts, or whether they shall con tinue to be governed by white men a3 now.
