EDITORIAL. 3fOTE.
The President authorizes the state
ment that he did not write the letter
to the Grangers about the tariff.
New York will certainly have to
take in Brooklyn to keep its chest
measure while Channcey Depew is
away in Europe.
Did the Radicals who voted to
pass the Force bill ever hear of the
Australian boomerang that hits the
fellow who throws it.
The Republican Senators are un
derstood to have intimated to Speak
er Reed that it will not be necessary
for him to shoot. They will come
down.
Frye Having got his subsidy bills
through the Senate with a good pros
pect that they will pass the House,
more fat will have to be fried out of
the tax-payers to pay the subsidies.
Let it be said to Brower's shame
that he voted against the amendment
to the election bill which provided
that the law should apply to all States
equally. This amendment would
have killed the bill, because the Re
publicans South haters did not want
it in their own country. Let it be to
Brower's everlasting dishonor that
he voted to pass the election law,
which will put Northern bayonets
at the ballot box in North Carolina.
The people will rebuke such treach
ery. Western Sentinel.
A MODIFICATION.
The Progressive Farmer greatly
modifies the attack made on Senator
Vance last week.
Quoting from editorial of last week
Progressive Farmer says: "This
makes us say that Senator Vance is
an enemy to our people. That was
another slip of the pen. We meant
to say, and repeat it now, that Sen
ator Vance has placed himself in
the attitude of an enemy so far as
the Sub-Treasury bill is concerned
and we are going to stick to it until
convinced to the contrarj' by Senator
Vance or somebody else. But he
would be a great fool who would say
that Vance has always been an ene
my of the people, or that his position
on most other questions had been
antagonistic to the interests of the
people of this State. The editorial
also goes on to state that Colonel
Polk, editor of the paper, was not
the author of the attack, but that
the writer of it was the assistant
editor, a man named Ramsey. It
also declares that Polk is friendly to
Vance, and was in no way responsi
ble for the editorial.
RROWEIC IN A BAD FIX.
Last week the Republicans, we
learn from the Greensboro Patriot,
tried to hold a convention at Dobson
in Surry county, Brower's county.
On counting noses it was found that
the anti-Brower men were in a ma
jority, and the convention was post
poned. On the following Monday,
the Brower men thought they were
on top and concluded they would
have the convention. An anti
Brower man raised a racket, when
the chairman floored him with a chair
and the convention forthwith ad
journed sine die,
WHAT THE PAPERS SAY ABOUT
WILLIAMS.
Capt. Williams, of Granville coun
ty, otherwise known as "Baldy," is
going to represent this district in the
next Congress, without the shadow
of a doubt.
He is patriotic and public spirited,
and when he goes to Congress, as he
will do next fall, he will look after
the interest of North Carolina and
the Fifth district with watchful fidel
ity. He is not the man to sit quiet
ly by, as John Brower has done, and
allow an infernal law directed against
his people, to pass the House. He
can be relied on to serve his people
not only faithfully, but with splen
did ability.
As a public speaker he is concise,
clear-cut, forcible. His information
is extensive and accurate and he
handles arguments in a masterly
manner. He will be a power on the
stump.
He redeemed Granville from the
radicals six years ago when he was
elected to the Legislature and he will
carry Granville for the nomocracy
this year by a rousing majority.
He is an active Farmers' Alliance
man and the farmers of this district
will rally to him with an enthusiasm
that has not been known since Vance
stumped these counties in 1870.
He will be elected by not less than
2,000 majority. Western Sentinel.
Mr. A. H. A. Williams, of Oxford,
is the Democratic nominee for Con
gress in that District. He seems to
have easily got in. Oxford is in
"luck." The candidate for Judge
and the new President for Greensboro
Female College, and the candidate
for Congress are all from that pro
gressive and fortunate town of some
3,000 or 4,000 inhabitants. Mr Wil
liams is a native of Nash county,
and is a brother of the late Capt.
Samuel A- Williams, who was once
a sandidate foi Congress in the
Raleigh District and Presidential
Elector. Mr. A. H. A. Williams is
a very energetic, pushing man of
affairs, and is active as a politician.
He will make a liye and earnest cam
paign, and will probably beat Brow
er or whoever opposes him. He is
a man of practical talents, intense
earnestness, and will make a useful
member of the House. He served a
short time in the Legislature. We
wish him a great victory and expect
him to obtain it.
He is about forty-three, we guess
and is a nephew of the late Hon.
Archibald H. Arlington, of Nash,
who was a member of Congress
and a prominent politiciad and a
farmer in his day. Wilmington
Messenger.
SENATOR VANCE.
It seems that while the letter of
this gentleman to Mr. Elias Carr,
President of the Farmers' Alliance at
first created an impression that the
members of the Alliance would take
grounds against Vance, the sequal
goes to prove that such is not the
fact, and the sober second thought
shows that the Senator is being en
dorsed hy members of the Alliance
in public meetings as will be seen by
the following extracts:
The Halifax county Democratic
Convention composed of 99 delegates
i ot whom were memoers of the Al
liance passed two sets of resolutions
Monday endorsing Senator Vance
and his course.
The Warren county Convention
composed largely of members of the
Alliance passed the following : That
the Democratic party of Warren
county most emphatically endorse his
course in the United States Senate,
and recommend him to the next Leg
islature as above all men the most
suitable person to succeed himself."
Richmond, Anson, Robeson and
CravenConventions composed most
ly of farmers in and out of the Alli
ance endorse Vance's course in Con
gress. In the Richmond county con
vention a member of the Alliance
introduced a resolution strongly en
dorsing Zeb Vance's course which
was warmly supported and adopted
by a rising vote.
The Monroe Register;, the organ of
the Farmers' Alliance in Union
county says: Occasionally one hears
rumors of a movement to defeat the
re-election of Zeb Vance to the Sen
ate, but it is a hard matter to find
any Democrat who will admit that he
opposes Vance. No man should be
elected to the Legislature who will
not support Vance.
The Maxton Union pays the fol
lowing glowing tiibute: Senator
Vance is the biggest, brainiest, broad
gauged statesman in the South, and
his manly and characteristic letter
to Mr. Carr adds twelve more stars
stars to his honored brow.
"I think," said a leading Alliance
man to the editor of the State Chron
icle, "that if every measure advoca
ted by Senator Vance since he has
been in the Senate had been adopted,
there would now be no need for the
passage of the Sub-Treasury bill."

THE S ITS-TREASURY.
Perhaps the Democratic members
of Cousrress who have denounced the
sub-treasury plan will discredit the
Democrats of Wayne county, North
Carolina, who declare in their plat
form: "7. That we favor the aboli
tion of the national banking system,
and the substitution of a better sys
tern that will take the control of the
money of the country out of the
hands of the few, a system that will
give us an elastic and flexible cur
renc3r, one that will contract and
expand exactlj- with the annual pro
ducts of the country, thereby fur
nishing a just and fixed measure of
their value, and that the sub-treas
nry bill lately introduced in both
Houses of Congress comes more
nearljT effecting this than any other
measure yet offered, and that we ap
prove of and endorse said bill."

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT
DR. KING'S
The following is an extract from a letter writ
ten by the World Renowned Kvangelist:
" I returned from Tyler, Texas, on the 12th
i list . I fi lid my wife has been taking Royal
(Jennet uer to the GREAT UPBUILDING of
her physical system. Hue is now almost free
from the distressing- headaches with which she
has been a MARTYR for twenty vears. Surely
it has done wonders lor her! I "WISH EVERY
POOR SUFFERING WIFE HAD ACCESS TO
THAT MEDICI SE."
Rev. J. B. Hawthorne, Pastor First Baptist
church, Atlanta. Ga., was cured of a long stand
ing case of Catarrh. His wife had been an in
valid from nervous headache, neuralgia, and
rheumatism FOR THIRTY YEARS, scarcely
having a day's exemption from pain. After
taki ng Royal"Germetuer two months, he writes:
"A more complete transformation Ihavenever
witnessed. EVERY SYMPTON OF DISEASE HAS
DISAPPEARED, she appears to be twenty years
younger, and is as happy and playful as a
healthy child. We have persuaded many of our
friends to take the medicine, and the testimony
of all of them is that it is a great remedy."
Dr. King's Royal Germetuer is a boon to
women. It builds up the strength, increases the
appetite, aids digestion, relieves them of the
cause of disease, and insures health.
It is an infallible cure for Rheumatism, Neu
ralgia, Paralysis, Insomnia, Dyspepsia, Indi
gestion, Palpitation, Liver, Bladder and Kidney
Diseases, Chills and Fevers, Catarrh, all Blood
and Skin Diseases, Female Troubles, etc.
Prompted by a desire to reach more suffering
people, the price has been reduced from $2.50 to
ft. 50 per concentrated bottle, which makes one
gallon of medicine as per directions accompa
nying each bottle. For sale bv the
