ANOTHER BLUNDER.
The Call for a silver conven
tion by a few leading (?) Demo
crats, to be held at Raleigh on
the 25th inst. is nothing but
another blander which will
cause dissention. It will doubt
less be a motly crowd of Demo
crats, Republicans and Popu
lists, and will carry joy to the
hearts of those who are trying
to get on top by utilizing the
silver craze.
So far as getting signers to a
call for such a meeting, that is
nothing. What is there that a
petition can't be gotten up for?
We remember the petition got
ten up by the last legislature, in
1880, for an election on prohi
bition was signed, it seemed
almost by every body, and yet
prohibition met the worst kind
of defeat at the polls. Why we
even remember a petition de
nouncing a man that was sign
ed by his own brother, and
many of his best friends.
It looks as if the Democratic
State Convention is the proper
body to give out Democratic
silver doctrine. We think for
Democratic silver advocate to
stayout of such meetings. Wait
for the Convention, and stand
by the principles it lays down.
GOOD SHOWING.
It must be gratifying to our
people to know that Pitt county
has not gone backwards like
many others. The abstract
shows a small increase of prop
erty since 1894. Considering
that property was assessed in
many instances lower than
heretofore, any increase, shows
well. Many of the counties
show a decrease in valuation.
Why is not known. In many
cases it must be on account of
lower valuations. And then
putting our population at 30,000
we have a per capita of cash to
each of over $3 there being
95,437 money on hand listed
This is a good showing even
if some other fellow has got the
3,in so many cases. Pitt coun
is making steady progress.
Work, not blowing, is what
brings success.
Who is the "prominent Demo
crat" in whose behalf there ia a
movement on foot to nominate him
as a non-partisan ailnr candidate
for Goyernor next year ? Charlotte
Obeerrer.
It ia eaay to see that he ia not a
Democrat Though he may be in
the party ranks, yet he n only an
office aeeker, nothing more. Yea,
we say he ia not a Democrat Of
fice ia what be wnta. Who ia he ?
FEAR OVERCOME.
I send you an extract from the
!Ph rf W R Henry made here in
ibJt. It ia the 8nb8tance8 and
almost the exact language prised by
him on that occasion :
If one drop of Popohst blood
should iall into the bottom of a well
and that well filled with dirt and
r?m6dl "With a manl aIltl S
should grow o?er it and a sheep
should eat that grass, I would not
eat the mutton for fear of beme
tainted with Populism. B. U. Sora
by in News & Observer.
The action of Messrs. Butler,
Skinner and Henry, in leaving the
democratic party is but the natural
outcome of the example set before
the young democracy of North Car
olina by iieneral Ransom, who
taught them by his acts that partv
principles (and the desires of con
stituencies as embodied therein)
were as nothing when weighed in
the balance against the "practical
politics" of office-getting. Fayette
