Some Democrats "will not enter tain a thought of even probable de feat of their party at the approach jng election; They s count it practi cally settled in advance .that Cleve land will be the next President of the United States' and that Fowle will be the next Governor of North Carolina. , They have magni bed the feeling of assurance to the point of virtually folding their hands in security till the time of spreading them in acclaim when the trumpet of rejoicing shall have been sounded. : It is well to have faith 1 n i . our,' an overweening conndence is most to be dreaded of all, because of its result in inactivity and the lack of vigilance. It was this that came near losing the State in the election for. members of the Legislature two years ago. In the class referred to is a. large part ot the "stay-at-home" reserve. Neglect to go to the polls pn the part of this large reserve, is the danger ! to be feared more than any other possible contingency. the white people can be got to the polls there is little question about their voting for the continued su premacy in power of the Democratic party. We may say almost solidly for in the present issue of affairs in this country there are stronger rea sons than ever before for white voters $o stand together, and we believe the white men are more alive to that fact than ever before.-Many of them may stay away from the polls in perfect innocency of heart, not dreaming that their votes may be aatually needed in determining the result, and certainly not wishing any other result than Democratic victory, pn the other hand the Rad ical contingent of 105,000 negro vo ters, more or less, may be expected to 4Jgit there" all the same. The whites, however, outnumber them largely ; and all that is necessary to putvote them is that the whites, to a man, go to the polls and discharge aJ duty which they owe to their race and country. Simple carelessness on -their part may result in the re-es tablishment of negro rule in North Carolina. The white contingent that will stand side by side with the ne groe8 at the polls is insignificant as compared with the mass of pa triotic white voters of the . State pro vided the latter, in their full strength shall exercise a plain duty and priv ilege . on the day of the election Think of it. In the election of 1880 the 27 eastern counties of the State which nad been worst afflicted by negro ruie, cast more man Vo per cenof their combined Democratic vote, that is, out of upwards of 50, 000 votes, more than 40,000 were cast in support of the Democratic ticket. For obvious reasons, consid ering especially the large negro ma- j jbrities in those counties and. the motive the white voters had for maintaining Democratic control of the State, it was with them more di rectly a matter of self preservation. Hence they were more alive to their duty in the premises. The central nd western counties combined cast only about 50 percent of their Dem pcratic vote in the same election, which only confirmed a principle of human uature.growing out of the fact that those counties stood not in such jeopardy of, negro rule and were content to rely upon the East, more vitalfy concerned, to see to it ihatits united strength should be cast atrthe' polh and thus perpetuate t)emocratip rule. The consequence of such , qareless conduct was that Gov: Jarvis'. majority was less than ' 7,000 when H ought to have been, dnd would" have been if the whites yx the' centre and' west' had turned out as well as did those in the east, ; knoref than : 30,000. Now here is . wjhere the hard work is to come Inj s rVpara tory to the, next electto'n : let " Z- precinct committees, as Gov. Jarvis ' suggests and'advises, canvass their "" respective districts and get the names of voters f then 'see- them personally ana iaiK wun tnem ana urge Upon them thImportahcei'indeed'the ne f cessity,"' bf'every man going to the polls' on the dav of election $ then, After thorough preliminary work to . ... . : i this; end, let these committees see nat no man, on accouni oi uiurim ity or age, shall miss his opportunity I o vote from the want of a convey ance to get him out to the polls This would be the business, moire ban anything else, ofithd penaQ- cratic clubs in the townships. It is well to hold frequent meetings of the clubs in the interest of enthusiasm and organic union, and let these keep the campaign spirit at fever heat Public speaking will serve an eicellent purpose in arousing the people to a sense of the danger of negro rule that threatens and to bring the facts before them", but at last the important duty of campaign organizations, is to. get the voters -to the polls and the votes into the. box. The recent letter of Gov. Jarvis to W. J. rYates, Esq., written in far off Brazil, should be read , before every Democratic club, and . the lesson it teaphes should be taken to heart? by every Democrat in the State. The gist of that letter is advice along the line ol work which we have indicated. Federal Rk--f"..

C. Doug lass, of Troy. The meeting was ex ceedingly "harmonious and orderly. Mr. - Douglass ; held the crowd for sometime, pleasing all, and made one of the best Democratic speeches we have heard. After the speaking, a Cleveland and Fowle Democratic club was or ganized. R. A. Robinson was elect ed President. Vice-Presidents were J. Lm Baldwin, J. S. Crouch, John Reynolds, Alfred Baldwin, Z. H. Lowdermilk and Edi Bruton. J. P. Little, Jr., and D. C. Stanback were elected Secretaries. Seventy-eight members joined, and the club will soon number over One hundred. On motion of W. F. Brookshire, work ing committees for neighborhoods were appointed. The Democrats of Steele's township are wide awake, and will do good work this year. We intend to have the banner Demo cratic township of the county. S. Little's Mills, N. C, Aug., 28, 1888 He Con't Vote for Free Whiskey-. . PioTTsr u Penn.. August 2o. The Rev, J. E.

As he says, the debt was $3,000,000,000 in 1865 ; and in 1885,wheh Mr." Cleveland came fn, the ootstanding debt of all sorts was Sl.VKXJ.UUU.UUU. ine re duction of the debt was not one-halfr The reduction of. 'Hhebonded debt, j however, was pne-halt. r$ut now has this great reduction in the bond ed debt been brought about?,, ! The bond holders hadgotten-tneir. bonds at 70 cents in gold, on the dollar, and the' Republicans, under took to bring them up to par in gold at the expense f' the people. To do this the bonds , were boomed ; heavy and. burdensome taxes : were laid, and ' the policy of rapid . pay ment was inaugurated. The people suffered, but the bonds' rose ln vftlue and in 1870 reached par. That should have sufficed. The people then should have been given some respite ; respite was .given, but not to the masses. As soon as the bonds reached par the income tax was taken off of the rich, but; the taxes paid by common lolks were con tinued. To favor the bond-holders still further, silver money was outlawed, and; the bonds as they came due were renewed, and made payable in gold coin. The bonds at,first were payable in currency or in com, (sil- ranks, and ver or gold) ; the new bonds', Bubsti- enthusiasm. tuted for the old ones, were made "payable in gold." More than that, all bonds originally were subject to "call." That is, the government had right to call in "any bond at any time and pay it off at its face value ; but the Republicans in renewing ono billion of them in 1877 made $250,- 000,000 payable in 1801, and S750,- 000,000 payable in 1907, depriving the government of the right to call them in and pay them off at their ! l a ' -fn i - it lace vaiue ai any nine, ine wnoie policy was in the interest of the bond-holders who Weregiveh every advantage over the people. The re sult is that those bonds pavable in 1907 are to-day selling at $1,270 on the $1,000, and when the govern ment buys one of them it has to pay that We repeatthat at first heavy taxes were laid that the bonds might be paid off rapidly so as to bring them up to par value ; and the bonds were so paid with the money raised by taxes out of the treasury. The Re publicans would not reduce the rev enues and the surplus money had to be used in that way to keep it from piling up mountain high in the treasury. In late years the bonds subject to call were being rapidly exhausted.

By July, 1887, he had paid, all but $19,000,000 of them. AfUr that he still had to purchnse bonds to get the money out of the Treasury , but he did it with great reluctance and with wise discretion. The bond: holders asked 1,270 dollars for a bond due in 1907, of the face value of $1,000. The taxes come pilinsi in Mr. Cleveland says "stop collecting, so that I will not have to pay this bonus oi $270 to these bond-holders. Dockery's party say s"no, collect the money trom the people and pav $1.' 270 for a $1,000 bond not due for 20 years yet." Which is right?
