l'OUll WEEKS FROM TODAY.
"It 13 but four weeks from today
until the election and the Demo
cratic party of North Carolina
ehould .enquire of itself how nearly
ready it is for the coming of that
day. We ought not have to feel
solicitude, touching this matter,
concerning the Democratic party
alone. The matter of good home
government should be one above
party, and an appeal Ifor it is one
which should be addressed with
confidence to ail good and patriotic
citizens. The people ot the State
have seen some of the consequences
of having retired the Democratic
party from power two years ago and
they may well ask themselves if
these consequences have been satis
factory and wholesome. We are in
immediate contact with the new
election and county government
law3, and it cannot .be said; that they
are agreeable to coiitqmplatQ. They
are nothing, ho we?er, compared with
-what will be witnessed if the fu
eionis ts control jbhe. net Legislature
as they did the last, and if, m addi
tion, we have Russell to rule over us

aid in 8aviDg. the State from Rus
sellism and all -that it implies.
Bat, under the laws of parties,: it
13 necessary to make the-special. ap
peal in this instance to Democrats.
They should lay aside all questions
of difference, aua unite with the
resolute purpose io save the State
and tbe government in their coun
ties. These are the . goyernmants
that are of supreme importance a?ter
all; they touch the people every day,
and it is necessary to the public
peace that they be honest, equitable,
Ljust, and administered by clean and
Cipable men. JSach government
and such men the Democratic party
offers the voters, aud it backs its
claim to support by the record of
the past.
Meantin e its workers and, voters
should bet tir themselve . Four,
weeks is not a very long t me; it is
certainly no longer time thn ia
necessary for the uoiug of the work
that needs to be done. Every possi
ble effort should be exerted to avert
the1 dangers which threaten the
State, and to this end every one of
her true sons should do his duty.' -

If some disinterested bystander is
watching the trend of many of the
editors and stump speakers in this
campaign he will be apt to conclude
that it must have been whispered
down the line be right easy and
gentle toward the othe parties, don't
offend them, but just let yourself
loose on the administration and all
Democrats who do not believe that
free coinage is going to raise all the
valleys and lower all the hills.
Don't allow such to submit with
gracefulness and stick loyally to the
Democratic ticket, but nag and
pierce them with mean, unfair a3ser
tions till you drive them into dis
gust or into being a crank I like
yourself.
It was said of 'president Hayes
that his trait was forgiveness' of
enemies and oblivion of friends.
It's a pity we can't hive oblivion of
Democracy's tried and true friends
if we can't do them the kindness of
justice. - , .
The relations between the Car

Watson Still Mad-He Whacks Kutlcr.
An Atlanta Dispatch, of the 2nd,
contains an editorial attack by Thos.
E Watson on Chairman Marion
Butler, which has excited much
comment there and is considered
significant in yiew of the rumors
abroad that Mr. Watson" may retire
from the ticket. The editorial in
question is as follows :
"Attempts have been made to
show that Mr, Watson favored fu
sion in the State of Indiana.
This is not correct. Mr. Watson
took the position at the beginning of
the campaign that no Populist
could consistently, vote for a single
Sewali elector any more than he
could vote for a Hobart elector.
i We filed witlx Chairman ? Butler a
written protest against Mr. Butlerfsc
fusion policy. Mr. Butler has ig
nored Mr. Watson's protest and gone
steadily; forward, on, his own line.
Mr. Watson's position is now
what it was when the Georgia State
convention met. He;is for a straight
middle-oftbe.road ticket, v In m
other way canhe. Democratic man
agers be forced, to abide by the S i,
Lmi8t contract.
Mr.-Watson's riosition has .beet?
humiliatine; embarrassipgf oa
ha been compelled to. submit . y
pol ci.es he did not appr.ove."
It Was. True.
Late, in the evening iv,report
8ped through the train that Aw
had a J el low passenger, a man worfl
$20,0001)0, who had gotten on a
Buffalo I made' iuquiry of the
porter of my car,; and: he replied:
"Dat'd what dey sat, sab, bat yo
can't alius t"ll. HeV in de nex;

Next morning the porter beckoned
me into the smoking compartment
and s iid :
t4Dat story was all true, sab."
"Then he's worth $20,000,000,
eh?"
"All of dat, sab, an' mebbe mo',"
"liow did voa find out?'7
