W'e again congratulate tlio people of North Carolina on the career of peace, prosperity and good government on which she eutcrcd after the inauguration J of a Democratic Stale administration and which has beet l unbroken for so many years since ; upon the just and impartial enforcement of the laws : upon the t lliciuney of our common school sys -1 tein, and the great progress made in popular education ; and upon the gcncr -1 a! improvement and clitcijjrise manifes ted in every portion .'f the state. Ami wo again challenge a comparison be ween this state of things and the crimes, outrages and scandals which attended Republican ascendancy in our borders ; and we pledge ourselves to exert in the future, as wo have douo in the past, our i best efforts to promote the material in- 1 terests of all sections of the Slate. Affirming our adherence lo Demo- ' eratie principles as heretofore enuncia ted in the platforms of the party, it is hereby Hanoi vr'/, That we regard a free and fair cxmessioti of the public will at tho ballotbox as the only sure means ot pre . I serving our tree American institutions, and that the corrupt and corrupting use j of i'edcriil patronage, in influencing and i controlling elections is dangerous to the I liberties of the State and the l iiiou. Ucso/cnl, That we are in favor of the ; unconditional and immediate abolition j of the whole internal revenue system. ] as an intolerable burden, a standing! meatice to tho freedom of elections, and ] u source of great annoyance and corrup- I tiou in its practical operation. Rcsolveil, That 110 government has a right to burden its people with taxes beyond the amount required to pay its necessary expenses and gradually extin guish its publij debt. And that when ever tho revenues, however, derived, exceed this amount, they should be re duced so as to avoid a surplus in the treasury. We therefotc urgo upon our ' Senators and IfppresSntiiWi's in Con gress to exert themselves tn favor of j such legislation as will secure this end. | Resolved, that with respect to the ! tariff we reaffirm the life long and fun- I dstuental principles of the J arty na de clared in the National Democratic plat forms and that the details of the meth od by which the constitutional revenue tariff shall be gradually reached, are , subjects which the party's representa- I lives at the federal capital must be trus- j ted to adjust; but in our opinion the 1 duties on foreign importations should be J levied for the production of public rev enue, and the discriminations in its j adjustment should be such as would i place the highest rates on luxuiies and ! the lowest on tho necessaries of life, j distribute as equally as possible the i burdens of taxation and donfer the great-' est good to the greatest number of the American people. Resolved, That the course of the Deni- ■ ocratic party in furtherance of popular education, by efficient public schools in all sections, and the establishment, of, graded and normal schools in the larger, towns and accessible centers, is :i sulli- j cient guarantee that wo favor tho cdu-| cation of ull classes.(if our people and j wo will promote and improve tho pres ent educational advantages so far as it can be done without burdening the peo ple by excessive taxation. AND vn BRAS, There is now more j than a hundred millions of dollars in the treasury of the United States wrung | y from the pockets of the people by unjust, taxation 011 tho part of tho Republican party ; therefore, Resolved, That TO will accept such j distribution of said surplus revenues of j the.government for educational purpo- : > scs as may be made by Ihe Congress of j the United States: providednlwiys, that tho sane shall be disbursed by State ' agents, and unt accompanied bv objec tionable features mid embarrassing con ditions. Resolved, That it is due to the while so chw of out eastern couutics, who have : com lu erfully borne tlier share of our som on burdens, that the present or coue other equally effective system of de.uty government shall bo matntaiti >d Resolved That in 7icw of the existing and increasing harmony and kindly feel ing between the two races in this State, ami a similar condition of things which wo believe to exist generally in other ! Southern States, we deprecate the at tempt of the Republican party, in its recent platform at Chicago, to force civil rights as a living issue, and wo de- ! tinunee it as a fire brand and a hypo- ; critical expression of interest 111 the | black race, a wanton insult to the whiter , of theSouth, t.utl lending to stir up strife , i between the uow friendly races. 1 ' DANBURY, N. 0., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1884.

Seven vcars ago, when the Democrats look conirid of the States, she began her march of prugrui s and prosperity : new, she is well advanced ou her way to wealth and power. Her million and a half of people uiv law-abiding, thrifty and happy : no race conllicis, no uots, no sociioual hatied, tin jealousies, hut all living together in harmony, helpiug each other, esteeming o.tcli other. 1 lor people 'hroiving off their lethargy « ' tc liia- :V- • '.-it of r a t,:i |(1 ?r«»st tle.it has aiiimati d tho-o directing !ur affairs, have gone to work with a new energy ami a new h'>pe. Her old in dustries have been improved ami enlar ged until they yield up their treasures as never before. Now industries have been introduced and established, open ing new avenues lo wealth and employ ment. Capital and labor go hand in hand, without jealousy. Upon the doors of rich nnd poor alike is writleu Activi ty and Progress; Ouwutd, the watch word of all. In material development, the State can p.dtit to nioro M .1..J li«L. .1 than in any like period of !.er existence. In the.education if hr people and children, like results have been at tained. Her credit restored, her name loved at home and honored ahioad, her officers, her Representatives, hr St tutors, rich ly endowed for the parts assigned thciu, working for her prosperity ai d her glory, North Carolina ts iu-dty what she never w as bt lore. One looks back on the Seven Years, and stands amazed at whit 1. • oieu done; forward, and sees tho light of a bright future. One inquires under what political j 1 arty v.ns this great jrof-rcss mud and ! the answer conies from a' ho:Vu, *,;nyu ! -and and more of the best pco; 1- of the State, 1 uder toe great Peuioct tie party. lxi vou wast sveir a max for no j i:i: xol;. In 187ti, aad ever afterwards while a member of tho Legislature, Dr. Ycrk Btrougly supported the present system of county Government. Now however, as every one must who tutu, Republi can, he says the Canby sy stem of County Government must be restored, which means to turu tho white people of the negro counties over to negro rule, and iu perfect accord with that he declared not only his purpose to support Blaine and Logan but that the National Re publican pl.itforin meets his hearty ap proval, not excepting even the Civil ' Rights piank iu it. Blaine, Logan and Civil Rights! What a load for a man to carry iu Noitli Caiolina! The mail wlni favors a return to tho Canby system of County Government iu this Svate, who proposes tu support Blaine and Logan, and who stands squarely on the National Republican platform, Civil Rights and all, has no right to expect tho votes of white men iu North Caroliua. Tho little independent tail is trying to wag tho great Republican dog. The dog growls, but it wags all the same. Behold the sublime impudence of the littie faction. When tho Republican leaders had brought out their machine, and prepared their platform to stand on, Dr. York, late surgeou of the Home (iuard, later Democratic member of tho Legislature, and last, Independent, Democratic, Republican, Coalition, member of Congress, steps to the front, unhitches the old Republican wheelhor scs, gears up Charlie Price, Pat Winston and others, late of tho Democratic party mounts tho platfirm and says : "Stand aside, gentlemen, Old York will drive this concern !" When a '.rue blue, Dr. I Wheeler, aecidently got tho nomination for Congress in tho Fifth district, sec how soon they set him aside and brought to tho front Col. L. C. Kdwaids, late aspirant for judicial honors iu the Dcm uciatic ranks. ■msHMwrriiu... mwvwunr. nn c .rn Do Ii'KXEKIt A i HAM.i:.' | , ' When.a country is thriving aud pros- : porous : when all its natural lesoutces , aro being rapidly ascertained and dc i veioped J when its transportation facit i ities aro being cheaply and quickly multiplied, when its old industries are , expanding and new ones springing into j lite when its government is economically : carried uii; when justice is impartially l administered; when peace and gnoel order nnd teftpcut lor law everywhere / prevail ; ed'oii :1s pen; h: Sro happy and > contented ; especially when all those j ; tilings coiue about after a period of in- i j testine war, murder and robbery and i plunder, lawnossness, disorder, public | extravagance and oppression, despotic government genenlly ; it will be well j tor that country and that people to con ! sider what il is that biought about its improved e ■ndition, and if it shall ap ; pear that this wonderful improvement | is due, as such improvements are gen erally due, to the change from bad gov ernment to good government, it will bo well also for that people and for that country tn puu«e long and consider well before they go back from good govern ment to bad.
