The diminished majority in Georgia has awakened them to a realization of what we have to fight, and they are entering the conflict In earnest. One of the most notable features of this campaign is the fact that a large num ber of voters are deserting the opposing factions both Populists and Republicans for the Democratic ranks: New re cruits are daily' coming in. The good, honest men are deserting the fusion combination and denouncing the leaders who sold them out. . A glance at the pages of the State press is suffi cient to convince the most skeptical of this fact. Almost every issue of any paper in the State announces the return Alt IMPORTANT ELECTION. .It is now just one month till Novem ber 6.

Mr. Mood j was strongly impressed with the guilt of the young men, and has written a card in the WaybesviTIe Courier ex pressing surprise at the verdict. He de clines to accept the fee tendered him by the commissioners, and concludes his card with this significant quotation: And I now say "In behalf of all the people of my country who love the virtue of their women and desire the protection of their children that it is their duty to look to their preservation themselves.n We know nothing of the case or the evidence. We judge that it must have been a heinous offence, and that Mr. Moody's earnest nature was roused to deepest indignation. It does credit to than has been presented by any election I Finally they naSned Mr. Gffthe Demo Pou's excellentan4 inspiring "address in recent years. " . '. . - J cratic lawyer, who has brought, the t$ the people."- Mr. Pou said: his manhood that this rue htedu indiar- of some prominent Populist In that tec- I ... . tion to the Democracy tbe old party or his father and the party of his own early manhood. A striking instance of this is found in the'eard of Mr. W. H. Rand, of Wake coun ty, which is printed elsewhere in this paper He declares that he was a Populist after nation makes him speak out strongly. But Mr. Moody has spoken in his honest wrath. In his calmer moments be will regret having advised the people to take the law into their own hands. There is no time when this ought to be done. The stabilitv of government, as well as A Chief Justice and three Asso ciate Justices, six Judges of the Supe rior court, a General Assembly, a State Treasurer, twelve Solicitors and nine members of Congress are to be elected, and every county office in North Carolina is to be filled. In short, as Chairman Pou says in an address pub lished elsewhere in this aper, "our honest and efficient Judiciary is at stake, the control of eacEeounty in the State is at stake and the control of the United States Senate is at take." It is a matter of the first and foremost importance to our people that on the re sult of this contest will depend the constitution and character of our Su preme and Superior courts. These offices truly reach nearer- to the homes and hearth stones of onr people than any other class of officials.. Only with a pure judiciary are the lives, liberties and interests of the peo ple safe. How important, there fore, that these positions should be filled with pure' men and able jurists men who are more than politicians and office- guilty office-holders in that city to jus tice. The Republicans unanimously re fused to vote for a Democrat, the com mittee of seventy reconsidered and re commended Mr. Strong, an old-time ac tive Republican. The . anti-Tammany Democrats, or most of them, refused to support him, and the non-partisan ticket winds up in smoke. , Observe it whenever you will, the Re publicans always reap whatever benefit there is in non-partisan action, and under the' guise of reform put their bitter par- tizans into office. As a straight Repub lican nominee, Mr. Strong would not hav?fche ghost of a show of being elected in New York city. As a 'reform" can didate,. Piatt thinks he can pull him through. The situation is almost similar in North Carolina. Twice in recent years have the Republicans tried to elect Faircloth and Furches to high positions in the State. If proof were needed of the fairness of onr Judges, oftheir freedom from personal and partisan bias. Chat proof is furnished in the decision last spring which terminated ''their own tenure of office and made their continuance in of fice dependent upon the result of this election. This clinches the argument and effec tually destroys the clatter about the need of Butler's new tangled, non-parti san, Republican Chief Justice.. States to day, and his influence on an audience is something wonderful. The magnetism of his manner and the elo quence of his sentences never fail to thrill and captivate his hearers.

It is often true that a whole community has a conviction of the guilt of the accused, but the evidence is such that a careful jury fa!s to convict. Mr. Moody has committed the same error that we hare known others to commit. We state bis politics merely to show that there is no party spirit here in orth Carolina among us in defence of virtue, and that upright men of all parties show right eous indignation when they feel that a jury charged with protection of virtue fails of its high duty. The Wsynesrille Courier is also indig nant, and was "surprised at the verdict. " We quote: It looks like a great miscarriage of justice and the majority of Haywood county's best citizens so regard' it. When the law can no longer be looked to for protection of woman s virtue, although her surroundings mar be foul as the dark regions, it looks as if justice will have to be sought elsewhere next time a similar crime is enacted. Honest themselves, they thought oth ers honest But now they are beginning to see things in their true light and to find that their confidence has been mis placed and that they haveJeen deceived. Nor do these men return single-hand ed to the Democratic party; they bring friends along with them; they join the ranks to work intelligently for the suo- ing "his vote. And they will do this and we have no fear for the re sult. The Democratic party is safe. The people are not idiots. They are rational and sensible and they under stand the situation that confronts the country.! They know that the Demo- cratic party is the real party of the people and is at heart - their friend and by them about "non-partisan' action. It is only when they are in a big minor ity that they affect to be over-virtuous and espouse the cause of non-partisanship and reform. Their pretence will fail in New York City, and it will fail in North Carolina. The people- believe in re bust, honest partisanship, and don't take much stock in these "more-holy-tlan-thou" Pharisees whose selfishness forbids their standing shoulder to shoul der with the boys in the trenches. The result of non-partisan" action, if itsucceds. is to put Republicans into office in cities and States where the peo ple are opposed to the Republican party, and will swallow it only when sugar coated with "non-partisan" sweetness. TE PASSING OF YOU-SEE-BI-US. As the originator of a new system of spelling-' and the proposition to levy a tariff of $10 ahead on all horses imported into North Carolina, Aaron You-see-bi-us Sigmos, of Catawba county, was the most interesting Republican candidate in the country. A man bold enough to ad vocate these two novel measures was sup posed to have backbone, and we early de fended him from the attack of those who j said he could be run off the track by the Populists. Now that our horse-tariff friend has succumbed and thus shown that his backbone is made of a cotton string,- we fear that our faith in human nature will be sadly shaken. MR.

But the Democrats will not take their rest because of the-rosy prospects. They will continue to work until victory is declared. They propose to welcome the prodigals, who are now coming back home, by still harder labor and more earnest endeavor. for their interests and their rights.

Good-bye." These were the exact words of honest Jesse Eillian, of Catawba county, as he left the meeting where the Populists agreed to fuse with the Republicans. It cost many of our farmer friend a great deal to cct loose from their neighbors and go off to form a new party. They did it under wrong, but honest im pressions. They set up for themselves with no sinister or selfish purpose, and they hoped to build up a perfect party. We told them they couldn't doit, thai the logical result of their act was to land OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES. The death of Dr. - Oliver Wendell Holmes, which occurred at his home in Beverly Farms, Sunday evening, will be mourned wherever the English language if read and translated. Throughout the civilized world his wit and wisdom have won appreciation and applause, and no death of our famous men has borne with its tidings more of ain, regret and sorrow. With his death passes away the last of a great circle of writers who, New England born and bred, made their native province famous for its literature. Dr. Holmes was the last With Emerson, Lowell, Longfel low, Whittier, Hawthorne, Thoreau, he now recedes into the past and the world is the loser. In every aspect Dr. Holmes was Ad- Last week we adverted to the fact that Mr. John A. Waller, a Granville Popu list, had become disgusted with the com bination between the Populists and the Republicans. Since then he has an nounced himself as an independent can didate for the State Senate, and, "Provi dence permitting," will make "a thor ough canvass of Person and Granville before the campaign is over and expose the rotten and outrageous attempts that are being made to deceive you." He prints r. card from Mr. Pritchford, the former partner of Dr. Dalby, the com bine candidate for the Senate, urging the friend to whom the letter was ad dressed to support Dr. Dalby for the Senate, in which he says: VI Fusion won't use. Chairman Pou has advices from nearly every county in the State showing that there are Republicans in them all who will not support fusion. The same is true of Populists in most counties. Self-respecting Republicans and self respecting Populists cannot stand the unholy combination', engineered by S. Otho Wilson and J. C. Logan Harris for themselves and a few other ringsters. ' Hill and admitted the contesting delega tions from New York city and Brooklyn, the Democrats would now present a united front. But ''the machine" rode, rough-shod over the contesting delegations and drove them out of the convention. It isn't natural to suppose the kicked out delegations will be enthu siastic for a ticket nominated by a con vention which ignored and insulted them, particularly when the nominee is a man as distasteful to them as Mr. HilL It is all in a muddle and nobody knows what the end will be. The odds are against Democratic success, but Hill has been a witness and "nothing succeeds like success." There are many who do not believe that Mr. Hill will qualify as gov ernor if elected. They believe he will fail to qualify, let Mr. Lockwood be gov ernor, and hold his seat in the Senate. He might not do this if the Legislature was Democratic, but it is believed he will if the Republicans should carry the Legislature. m m There isv action being taken here to recover some money for the heirs of Belcher Fuller, who lived at Beaufort, N.

The United States has recovered the amount due the Belcher Fuller heirs, ticket, or being more accurate in reeard to the color of the ticket, it will proba bly be a dark gray. The Populist papers say that the bill introduced in Congress by their mem b rs of Congress would not take a dollar from the Treasury. That's so. Their plan is to appropriate thirty-five billion dollars for all sorts of extravagance, and then to set the presses to work printing the money. This denial shows that the Populists have'nt the least conception of find that government. We the Republicans will endorse him." quote from Mr.. Waller's card: It does seem to me toe above is so plain that a man may run and read which way we are drifting. Also in the meantime Capt.

Jne YorjNO, the negro Populist-Repub lican nominee for the House in Wake, is THERE The result of the election in Georgia showed that the Republicans and Popu lists made almost a perfect fusion on the Populist candidate for Governor. Mr. Cleveland's majority in 1893 was 83,000 in Georgia. This year the Democrats POLITICAL NOTES. Has there been fusion between the Re- frablican and Third parties f It does not ook that way down here, says a Jones county correspodeut of the Einston Free Press. The Republicans are much dis gruntled, and for cause, as they have no representation on the so-called fusion ticket. They say they are tired of being " hewers of wood and drawers of water" and will not fuse with a party that has no real strength and but little vitality. Rev. F. M. Jordan, of the county of Transylvania, is a curious compound. Sometime ago he announced that he felt called of the Lord to represent Transyl vania in tne Legislature, ana naa de cided to make the race. A few weeks later he announced his withdrawal on account of symptoms of paralysis. But in last week's Hustler we find that he is out again and says he will make the race as an independent Democrat. He doesn't say anything about the Lord this time but calls on his friends" to help him win. E. K. Proctor, Sr., is running for treasurer on the Robeson county Pop. ticket. Some years ago, says a corres pondent of the Charlotte Observer, he was running for office as a Republican, while his son, E. K. Proctor, Jr., was a candidate on the Prohibition ticket. They made a joint canvass. Son made a neat little prohibition speech. Pa in reply, said he "wouldn't care if the Lumber river run with Scotch whiskey, and every cypress had three dippers on it." The forcef ulness of this remark is the more patent to those who know how the Lumber frequents Robeson. "You can't go anywhere in Robeson without crossing the river at least twice," ob served a Robesonian the other day. According to Attorney-General Os borne, fusion results' in subtraction. In a speech at Gastonia the other day, he said: "The Third and Republican par ties are small enough by themselves, but together they are less than when sepa rate. They fused in Arkansas and it went Democratic by 24,000. . Georgia is usually Democratic by 50,000, but the Rads. and Pops, fused there and it went Democratic by 80,000 majority.

A peti tion was filed in the Court of Claims by Charity Read, of Carteret county.on De cember 81, 1886, but the attorney that had the case in charge died and nothing has been done since until right recently. Belcher Fuller was on a voyage from Beaufort to Jamacia, when the French cap tured his vessel, the Hope. It was taken into St Martins, where the vessel and cargo was confiscated, against the protest of Captain Fuller. Washington, Oct. 5. Mr. E. D. Steele, of High Point, who has been on professionaTNausiness to Northern cities, passed through this city to-day enroute for North Carolina. He said in speaking of the political situation in his district: "The outlook in the fifth district is better than it has ever been since the Republicans gained the supremacy. We will have hard work to come out on top this year for we have the whole Republican party to beat right in our district. When I say the Republican party I mean the strength, the power, the influence of the party which comes from Guilford county and the adjoining counties. We are going to break this force I believe and Mr. Graham will certainly make Mr. Settle take a back seat These are the present indications. The Amis faction will not affect the contest much and will very probably be submerged before election, and the contest will be between Settle and Graham. I think Mr. Graham is the strongest man in the district His per sonal magnetism is very great and draws many , to him and to his cause that could not be converted by good speaking. 'Every body that knows anything about Settle knows he is a good speaker and a shrewd politician, but he nas met more tnan ms match in tne per son of " Gus" Graham. Whether he ad mits it or-not he realizes the fact to his sorrow, and whatever he may say about prospects brightening for him he is not so jubilant as he was in the beginning of the campaign. ", "The county ticket which would have been Populo-Fuso-Mugwumpo-Republi-can if some of the instructions had been carried out is a straight Republican ticket. It is believed that another at tempt at fusion will be made. Jim Boyd's name was mentioned for the State Senate, but he had it withdrawn." Washington, i. (j., Oct 9. Dr. Stephen B. Weeks, whoso review of his "Biography of Gen. Joseph Mar tin" appeared several days ago, says that he was desirous in this work of re futing several of the chargos mads a few years agoJy James It. Gilmore. Mr. Gilmore has published several volumes on the history of North Carolina and Tennessee, which are calltHl the "Rear Guardof the Revolution. " "John Sevier," and "The Advance Guard of Western Civilization." In these volumes Dr. Weeks says that Mr. Gilmore miHrepresenta. abuses, and villifies tho cople of North Carolina in general, and thotm connected with Tennessee history in particular. Among the. latter abused is (ion. Joseph Martin. Dr. Weeks says he has examin ed Mr. Gilmore in regard to Gen. Joseph Martin and in regard to the people of North Carolina in general, and shows Mr.' Gilmore's statements to le utterly false. Dr. Weeks says that not only he himself, has found this defect in Mr. Gilmore, but that Mr. Theodore RooHevelt, of the Civil Service Commission, in his Win ning of West," goes so far as to deny that anX statement of Gilmore unsupported by any other authority does not carry but it has I il 6Ten the probability of truth. Rev. James A Weston who registered here Saturday, has been to New York where he made arrangements with a Sublishing house to have his "Life of arshal Ney" published. Mr. Weston has been at work on this for some years and those who have heard him lecture on "Marshal Ney" will note with pleas ure that it is soon to be put in book form for the benefit of the public. Mr. Weston's great effort in this' work has been to prove that Napoleon's greatest Marshal and chief adviser on the battle field lived for several years and died in North Carolina, instead of being exe cuted by Wellington, as is stated in the records of France. . Washington, D. C, Oct 8. It was made known several days ago that a few leaves of the Democratic handbook, while in the press at the Public Printer's, were removed. It was believed at the time that it was the work of some unscrupulous person in the de partment, and did not happen accident ally.

Jesse Kllllaa Told Ills Popallst Friends GoodB re When Ther Per fected Their Fnnlon Plaas aad He Came Back to the Democratic Part v. Correspondence News and Observer. Hickory, N. C, Oct. 8. During the late meeting of the Popu list and Republicans in Catawba county, at which they effected a fusion 6f their principles, (?) there occurred an instance of such brave and manly jxditical cour age and honesty that I think worthy of the highest commendation, and shows that while such men as Otho Wilson, A. C. Shuford, Marion Butler and others of this character are willing to swallow all the rottenness of the Republican party of which they used to sfxmlt so much for the sake of getting an oflice, there are hundreds of honest Populists who will not follow thorn in their utter repu diation and sacrifice of every, prin ciple advocated by them two years ago. Jesse Killian, an intelligent and influential farmer, who lives on the waters of the beautiful .South Fork of the Catawba, two years ago was an en thusiastic Allianceman and Populist and bad great weight in the councils of his party. 'He helped to nominate men who advocated the principles of the Al liance and the People's party, and worked for their election. This year, however, he was invited to a different feast, a sacrificial feast, where every principle that he had advocated before was to be offered up to save a mongrel and fusion ticket from defeat The convention met Republicans and Populists were there talking about the similarity of their principles and advo cating fusion. It was agreed to. ' Jesse Killian protested. It did no good. Old Alliancemen who had heard the late Col. Polk on the corruption of the Re publican party, looked each other in the face dazed at the thought Jesse Kil lian arose, with indignation in his coun tenance, and contempt for-, the unholy proceedings, and made this little but ef fective speech "Gentlemen, I did not leave my neighbors and friends two years ago to join the Republican party. Good . bye," and left them forever. And hun dreds of other good men will follow his has Capt Brian in hand, and at a largely attended meeting held last- night at its rooms, the anecial eommittae.
