This speaks volumes. Calls are pouring in upon , the -' ' Committee for speeches from our candidate, Mr. Walker. The univer sal testimony from candid men who will-vote the three tickets is, that he is the best speaker in the field. S We refrain from calling him the " silver tongued " orator, as such on opening their mouths reveal only a pewter tongue. If any want to hear Walker, attend to hti dates. He has canvassed 39 counties;, and aims to reach all. When last heard from, 7.45, a. m., Thursday, Aug. 30, 1888, Dr. Aber nethy was supporting Fisk. ; Prob ably could not stomach Cleveland's social equality and negro rule. ' But my I Fisk is the. founder and patron of Fisk University, colored school, and the idol of the Freedmen. The Dr. is like Noah s dove. No decent place for the sole of his foot. Better come back to the Ark! We call attention to Mr. Walker's . appointments for next five weeks A large share of the success of these meetings must rest upon the Prohi bitionists of each county. Let notice be spread, let all arrangements be made and word sent him at one of t - . his appointments. The posting of notices must be attended to in each locality. All through the mountains the wind was very hard on his pos ters, which came down where others stuck. 1 As the moments are slipping away, very rapidly county Conven tions should be held the day of his speaking for the nomination of tickets. Now for a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether. WORKS BOTH WAYS. The press mouths the names ofi prominent ministers who denounce a certain political party, and in the same breath condemn as meddling in politics certain ministers who ad vocate said party. - Why are one, class meddling with politics any ! more than the other! The only solution to the problem is the fact that it makes all the differ ence in the world whose ox is gored. Now that I there are eight Presi dential tickets in the field and next month will be a ninth, " we're not so lonesome as we usedto be." But just think what fools the advocates of the fourth; party, the " fifth, the sixth, the seventh, the , eighth and the ninth will be to " throw away their votes." ; ; Suppose the old par ties pay, some attention to them and give us a rest.

The question has been asked the Prohibitionist, 'Who: are the leaders of the Democratic Party in the United States ? How have they been acting in the past?" This is a timely inquiry. It is information that the people ought to have, and which we gladly furnish. (jrover Cleveland, the man who has led (by the nose) his " party as none of his predecessors ever did ; the " one-term " advocate whom his party re-nominated by acclamation amid eleven minutes of solid cheer ing, is without doubt a leader of his party. He came from up North to Washine-ton to teach neero eaualitv, To a White House Social gathering, a thing we do not remember the blackest i republican President ; to have dared, he invited and enter tained amid other administration dignitaries, a negro, and we think his white wife also. 1 ;. Below we are able to present to our readers tne liKeness 01 oocial 1 .1 Equality Cleveland's honored guest '-'. FRED DOUGLAS. If he felt that it was his duty ; to invite the negro, he had and has perfect right to do so. Certainly the Prohibitionist would f not criticise him for doing what he conceived to be duty. ; . - :'' --Y:y, " If he believes in social equality as has been evidenced by his socia intercourse with a negro, that is his own matter. If he introduced per sons to this couple, and for tha' reason they will vote; tor him no more, we have nothing to say about that. He is a freeman and can do as he pleases.

NEGRO RULER TROTTER. If S. E. Qeveland, the idol of the " White . Man's Party," taking the bits in his teeth, determined to make his party accept negro rule,'- the Prohibitionist cannot help it. If in his determination to establish negro rule as an essential dogma of Democracy, he twice tried m vain to force his colored inend JVlatthews upon the: Senate which . had stom ached thousands of s negro "officials before, it is none of our funeral. If in all North Carolina's thousands and America's millions his eye rested on none competent and trustworthy whom he Vcould appoint ruler over three white lady clerks and a mixed 1 .1 -it score 01 ptner co-iaoorers, save a negro mysteriously dropped from a Post omce position 01 trust ; who are we feeble " third party cranks " that we should " speak evil of dig nities ?" ; . ; -, '. ;; ; ) , Gentlem en of sense ! the - Prohi bibionist has spoken of this matter without- commendation, without condemnation. It is not and should not be a party issue. If there is to be any dis-cussing of it at this late day, it must be between the Demo cratic leader and his followers. With such views and practices recorded in highest places, it becomes a mate ter of laughter that the Democratic kettle calls either the Republican pot or the Prohibition' skillet black. This raising of the un-American cry of "White Man's Party," and "Ne gro rule," we hereby brand as the rankest : v hypocrisy.' Show us the party to-day I which in its member ship, its officials, or its efforts for adherents, is a purely "White Man's Party !" . Why, there's more joy over one black" man that adhereth, than over ninety and nine straight Democrats that never., went astray. And that is all right.) Men should divide on their beliefs. . '' We have thus paid our respects to this cry, because by it the tender consciences of thousands of good but ill-informed men are being chloroformed to preyent their rising in' their christian might at this-elec- lonjo . ;- " : . , . . u Down the Liquor Traffic."

' " We make the statement UDoh the in formation of a gentleman in Greensboro who said that ? he saw the Dlatform in the handwriting of Steele, and that Steel drafted it." , - . n i The facts are that said platform, was never in his handwriting, copied or oth erwise. Moreoverno one in Greensboro ever saw it in any one's handwriting, as it was laid before the committee, " passed by the convention, and set up by the compositor from print..' All of the Chronicle's : statements about those whom it hates, on close examina tion, will wash no better than does this sample. A FALSEHOOD. Newton Enterprise, Dem. He, (Walker) said that he asked Judcre Fowle to conduct a joint . canvass with him and that the Democratic candidate would not recoenize him as a candidate i e know from a private source that Judge Fowle told Walker that he could not recognize mm Decause ne nad no fight with, prohibitionists. He-. was prohibitionist himself.) Mr. Walker denies that Judge Fowle ever told him that he (Fowle) was a prohibitionist himself." On the contrary Mr. Walker charges everywhere that Judge Fowle is an anti-Prohibitionist. . His absence from the Raleigh Election June 7 and the admission of Maj. Robbins that he could not sav that Fowle believed in laws against the saloon lend color to the charge. The in stant that Judge Fowle will say he believes in the total prohibition o the liquor traffic, we will gladly publish the commendable confes sion. Our columns are open. ! A CORRECTION. Special Cor. State Chronicle, Burlington, N. C. Aug. 18. I saw in the Chronicle a few days ago a clip' lppmg .think from tne Greensboro rainot which 1 with your comment on the same does Rev. W. T. Walker, the Prohibition can didatefor Governor, great injustice. The clipping was to the effect that the church and community at bhallow lord, in Ala mance county, N.

I served that church as pastor a few years since and wnen 1 saw tne clipping and comment felt that such a thing could not be true. saw, the leading deacon of that church to day, Mr. .Feter Michael, of Gibsonville N.

Hoping that you will give this correction space in your columns. 1 am truly, yours with respect.- Jkrkmiah W. Holt. A similar denial at the earnest request of the Secretary of 1 said body, was taken in personby Rev. Mr. Holt to the Patriot editor.

For the enlightenment of the back-woods editor, from " Do not take Temperance into Politics p 126, we quote the following from a doubly interested party, good Demo: cratic authority. . Hon.. Frank Jones, brewer, and mem ber of Congress from N. H. since candi date for Governor. E. Proh.1 'During my term in Congress, I have atisfied myself that Mr. Schade has been. ana ib, on tne pest 01 terms witn tne in fluential members of the Senate and House, and tnat ne is always oa,:er to promote the interests of ths (Brewers') Association." HAS HE CONTROL OF CONGRESS? In Mr. Schade's report to his em ployers the U. S. Brewers Associa tionfor 1880 we read " Senator Howe introduced a bill, pre pared by Wm. E. Jiodire, of Now York president of ; the National Temperance Society, to appoint ;t eomoiifsriion of five to investigate the, liquor tramc. I, as editor of the . Washington Sentinel, pre pared a counter bill, introduced in the benate by Senator Locan. and in the House by Hon. S. S. Cox. My bill was then offered by Senator Bayard as an amendment to Howe's bill, and, after slight changes, adopted by tfie Senate. Referring to the same measure , in 1881 he said: . " . - . siowever, owing mainty 1 believe to my personal exertions, the bill has been for the jov.rui time jrustratea. . In 1882 he reported as follows: " Every year since 1873, the temperance fanatics have been eager at work in be half of the passage of such a bill. .. Cartloads 01 petitions to Congress, etc . . By the noble efforts of Senator Bayard, of Delaware, that bill was so amended as to give also representation on the commission to the friends of per sonal liberty. Tnose bills being reterred to the vays and Means Committee of the House, jailed, however, to be favorably caiis'idered by that committee, etc." in 1883, on the bill he reported: "The bill was amended in the Senate " "but, owing most likely to the result of the fall elections, the House has failed to pass the bill as amended by ; the Senate. That is the fifth failure of the fanatics to force that but through (Jongress." , " During the last ten years all sorts of bills directed against personal liberty in the District or Columbia , nave been m trdduced in Congress. ' Our people in the District have, year after year, deputed me as their attorney to prevent the pass- age 01 tnose duis. Ana it is witn some satisfaction that I can claim that I have assisted in' the defeat of event one of them. During the last Congress a high license bill, and another degrading the restaurant keener bv olacine him alongside of the keepers of bagnios and gambling housesd came very near being passed, but 1 suc ceeded in keeping our friends in Congress aivake, and the latter bill was defeated in the House an hour before the final adjournment. Only continued vigilance and the utmost energy has saved, us from snaring tne late of so. many of our friends in , the states, and permitted us to Keep tne nag of per sonal liberty floating at the Capitol." . ' DOES THE BREWERS' ASSOCIATION CONTROL VANCE? Mr. Lauer ' was one of the Vice Presidents of the Association. " .... . In TJie American Brewers' Gazette. Octo ber 15th, 1878, are published some of Mr: Lauer's notes on travel through the South ern States ; while in North Carolina, he ro 1 1 crl rvn 4 rr wr rf Vonnn " ' T rl1 Iiitv ,? writes Mr. Lauer, "that I had read his message in .which he recommended . im- mieration. : . . . and that I had been informed that a bill had been fram-J ed, and would be introduced in the North Carolina Legislature, to prohibit the sale of intoxicating beverages in the - State, including malt liquors. If this should become a law, I told him, the people' of North Carolina cottld never Jook for any German immigrants into the State. He assured me of his personal opposition to such fanaticism and that during his resi dence in Charlotte, he drank my beer daily. As the governor of North . Caro lina" has no veto power, I called "upon numerous senators and representatives, and was assured by them that the ' bill would not receive their approval, and when the bill was finally introduced", be fore my departure, , a motion prevailed that the bill be indefinitely laid on the table. I accordingly congratulated ' my self in having done the cause . which I represent some good. After the legisla ture naa settled tne temperance ques tion, 1 called upon a number of tnem and offered them my congratulations." Was this the high-toned; Demo cratic Reform Legislature ? Now see what Schade says of him when advanced to the Senatorship. Schade says: (Report of 1883.) " During the fall election I received a written invitation from that great friend of our cause in the United States Senate, Senator T.- F. Bayard, to go to Wilming ton and address a mass -meeting of the friends of personal liberty. Of course, I could not refuse to oblige the", man who always b,een ready in defence of the brewers, and personal liberty.

NEGROES RISING IN THE EAST, JONES COUNTY PROHIBITIONISTS OR GANIZE- AND NOMINATE. Republican Intolerance, Special Correspondence. . Trenton, N. C, Aug. 18, '88. In answer to a callj accidentally signed by colored men only and closing as follows : . . . As colored citizens, we earnestly cal. upon our experienced white friends hav ing like mind, to join with and aid us in upbuilding the Sober Man's Party, for the emancipation of both races from the liquor traffic, v 1 ; The Prohibitionists of Jones coun ty met here to-day, and held their county convention. The convention was called to or der by Rev. Luke Smith, and Wm. Loftin was elected chairman. .Prayer was ' offered by Rov. Mr. Smith. Representatives were pres ent from one-third of the townsliips. The State and National platforms and nominations were most heartily ratified. " The following nominations were made : For House D. W. Murrell. . For Treasurer Rev. Luke Smith. For Coroner- Wm. Loftin. For Register Henry Simpson. . A good Executive committee was appointed, and men named to re ceive and distribute ballots and. re port the same. As you know we are poor colored people, but we cannot and will not vote for the parties that license our ruin. We are having a very hard fight here. This county in i884 gave Cleveland only 7 majority. I have never had so many opposers in my life as I now have, but I am doing all that I can, and if I had the means I would canvass the county. But I am only a poor farmer, and my time is hardly my own. A man cursed ; Mr. . Murrell last Saturday week, and yesterday I was called a liar to my face, and it is said that J am hired by the Democrats, i Mrs. .-Murrell, ur school teacher, is my sister, and I wish that I had her grit. She is a great worker has taught tem perance in school and from house to house until a good number of us are convinced that " the saloon must go." Anotner teacher, Mrs.- L.ortin, has also done much. This is a sec tion where a man from your 'neigh borhood at a fair once said he had never before seen a mile of drunken men. Mrs.' Murrell has , volunteered to go with me and speak. I hope that you will pray for me that 1 may be filled with the Spirit and with power irom on nign. i snail ao ail tnat 1 can to get men. to see the necessity of putting down the saloon. - To the above we may editorially add that Republican boycotting and bulldozing of the rankest kind may be expected upon these men who wish to exercise the rights of free men, and rid themselves of political slavery, to whisky Dockery. Their county gave the smallest Democratic majority in the State and in their fierce fight with Republican intoler ance for the right to vote in accord ance with the dictates of their own consciences, we hope thatjall lovers of fair play will, heed the next to last sentence in the above correspon dence.

Northern Republicans call us the left wing of the Democracy, and here the Demo crats groan that all the good we can do is to defeat the Democratic party and hinder Cleveland's election.
