OUR HOBBY.
The Recorder Bays' very complimen
tary things of the Republican and
calls 'Protection" our hobby;. We
are hewing to the lines of our platform
and are push jug the issue instead of
dodging it as do our democratic oppo
nents. The issue is on the tariff : how
ever the democrats seem to be rather
dubious about attacking it vigorously
and prefer to do campaigning on their
candidate rather than their platform.

FREE BARBECUE.
Mr." editor :j-Your correspondent
with others attended the "barbecue"
at, Evan's Store on Thursday last.
Speeches -were made by Messrs. Mo
ring, Marining, and Green after which
dinner was announced and then J udge
Fowle with a full stomach gave the
crowd his great speech on the "Con
stitution and the Union" synony
mous terms the one meaning the
other and the other the one. It would
be hard to tell all the Judge said in
an hour and a half but your readers
may rest assured that it was about
matters that happened in the "long
long ago." He found the democracy
of Durham County all torn to "hang
nails" and left in the same condition.
It was a matter of remark that the
absence of applause was because the
audience "didn't know how to shout,
but in fact the Judge touched upon
no chord that gave vent, in demonstra
tive expressions of that character he
u n nn n. oold trail and he never left
it, consequently he "bagged no game."
There was a goodly attendance of the
"Independent" element and many a
good joke was "cracked" about the
shady, outskirts of the crowd and as
everyone seemed satisfied with the
dinner and the results of the addresses
we of course are as happy as a

Jeremiah S? Black everywhere ac
knowledged as good authority says:
"The experience of the whole world
in all times shows that the want of
home rule is the want of everything
else that is honest and, lair. Rules
forced upon a people are never just."
It is this mission of the Liberal and
Republican parties by a coalition, to
avoid the; dangers pointed out so for
cibly by Mr. Black and to bring our
State back to a system of representa
tive government. We believe the dan-
gers ot our present county govern
ment system to be all that they are
above pictured j to beJ and we have
made the issue and our State cam
paign will be largely fought upon that
plank. We have never lad any pa
tience with this "expediency" legisla
tion. There-is such a thing as right,
and wrong ; "policy " is a mere subti
fuge. There is danger in cutting loose
from tlik traditions of "the fathers"
for temporary advantage! The man
who is anxious to hold the little office
of Magistrate against the will of a ma
jority is jnot fitted for the place His
mind islout of balance, he cannot be
just Ifj he accepts it otherwise he
tramples on the rights of others and
openly proclaims himself the opponent
of true home democracy.
