The ainswer to these questions de-
Lends oii the standard of qualification
that is sf t up. If we measure him by
the j measure of great men who have
been President,1 'like .Gen. Washing-
froN, Air... J efferson, v en. J ackson.
and Mr. Lincoln, we must certainly
answer that Mr. Cleveland lis not
qualified! He cloes not possess the
talent, flfie breadth or activity of mind,
the penetrating intellect, the knowl
edge, or the experience Of affairs which
are requisite in-filling up the category
of .a high order of qualifications.

RIGHT STEP.
li tn ere be anv one tiling tlie aver-
age citizen or our t5tate uvsires, it is
to get back to a system of Local Self
Government. It is true that thedem-
ocranc politician ana ins nenenmen
pretend stand squareh' to the pres
ent system on account of the position
the people of East Carolina are placed
m, but jt is nevertheless a demoral
izing forfcewithin the party through
out the Uddle and Western counties
of the State where the vote is largely
white.. The voter is getting restless
and, ill at ease. He is tired as a dem
ocrat of holding to anti-denlbcratic
principles for the sole reason of aiding
a small section of tlie State where he
holds nol interest. His State pride is
getting threadbare : he is ready for a
revolt. jThis question is greatly agi
tating tae average country voter: he
has little interest in "cliques and
"wire piillings"; but he. does want to
be a deiiiocrat in name and in tact.
I le knows. tiat a great democratic
lu-Lnciplq is wrapped up in the maxim
4a government for the people, of the
people ami by the people" and he is
restless inder the departure therefrom.
He turns to his party platform and
there h4 finds nothing looking to a
return, but a new indorsement of the
present system. Is it any wonder
then that he is by his ownl party
driven to the Liberal Party where he
aloiie can find the one great principle
upheld (jiat is nearest his heart ? We
think riyt -there is no other course
left him.j We can tell him that hun
dreds of voters like himself are not
preparedf longer to brook this inter
ference j with his most cherished
rights i they, are scaling the demo-'.
cratic fence like sheep and heading
for the Liberal ; fold. We can also
tell him that the cause is gaining head
