BREAKERS AHEAD??? ' There is a little cloud now visible, scarcely as large as a man's hand that is giving anyj amount jof trouble in democratic quarters. It is the pbrten- tioussignofdi principles in iHsolutionof Free Trade ! the state of Louisiana and an open revolt of the sugar inter est against the democracy of the j "Solid South" with Us "straddle" on! tariff ..11 ! issues. It I will be remembered that during tariff agitation iii the last ses sion of the Congress the sugar; plan ters had a committee in Washington to watch their interests ; they were in- formed in high democratic quarters that it was the determination of Free Traders to place sugar on the free list and advised -J: for it. They at. the first opportunity to go home and prepare went home, reported their action and thereupon a committee was appointed f it. 'il . . ' ' a ' - - . eacn parisn wun j)ower to for nomi nate, indorse and assist in the election of such persoits who favpred the pro tection of their interest' without any regard whatever to their politics! The result is that influential planters in all the sucar districts are declaring for Blaine and Logan and are determined that the votej of Louisiana shall be honestly polled, honestly counted,- and honestly returned. Given this-arid the Republican party ate sure of the electoral vote of the State. Thej Soutl u is only "solid" in appearance. : "ProH tection" is demanding an hearing in Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee Georgia, Louisiana, Florida,and Nortl Carolina. The days cjf the "Soln South" are numbered and it is grati fying to sec that the issue to bring about this happy result is a great econ4 omic question that promises peace ant: plenty, industry and wealth, edncatiori and intellectual advancement. 'A HOLD YOUR HORSES. i I The extravagant expenditures of the OPENING GUN. j The Gubernatorial canvass opened at NewtOn last week with a joint dis cussion between Scales and i York. Of course in a crowd of 2000, mostly democrate, the party press give Scales the post bf honor and all the "demol ishing" but hi a couple of lines Dr, York is credited with a "strong voice, a tirelesjj speaker and no ordinary competitor." It is something to have a "tireless speaker" and we appreciate this in view of the fact that on Tues day last we had a very tiresome dem ocratic speaker at the Court House r i -in Durham. 1 CONSULTING TOGETHER.

Never set your plow too deep 1 when working in new ground. When Butler gets started out there will bo two " widows" in thecampaigri poke well. but with the exception of Ellison their remarks ifvere more of local significance than otherwise. Ellison entered into a more extended discussion of politics in its National and State aspects and handled his subject in a masterly man ner. . showing crreat familiarity with political Questions and a keen judg ment. He spoke fluently and earnest ly keepiiig up a close interest at al' times and in the opinion of his many friends it was considered as fine an effort as they have ever listened to from him. His arraignment of the present County Government System was able, fair and instructive. He spoke as a representative of his race put from no narrow view : it was rather the broad National advantage to be gained through Republican success that lie presented to his hearers. The ques tion with him was not personal ad van tage but the advantages sure to follow from a break in the "Solid South" with less of partisan feeling, and more of tolerance and j iistice through a broad policy of Protection to ou. industries and , labor. Many democrats were present and listened attentively. The meeting closed with the adoption of tne ioiiowing resolution: Resolved ; That the Republican party is - to be congratulated upon the splendid nomination of Blaine and Logan as our presidential standard bearers; That we heartily endorse and ratify the nominations upon oir State ticket headed by Tyre York, as also platforms.
