Gus Graham and victory is the watchword in this district. Keep your sugar bills. They will make an interesting exhibit as com pared with the ones you will receive sixty days from now. The people are taxed 848,000,000 for sugar, putting thereby $7,000, 000 into the pockets of the Sugar Trust. Down with trusts. A Maryland man wrote the "Star Spangled Banner," but Gorman says let me make the trusts of a nation and I care not who writes its song?. Let every Democrat in the Fifth District get right down to hard work and Graham will Settle Tommie's hash by from one to two thousand majority. Dr. Lea, of Caswell, Hannibal Simpson, of Kockingham, and Iiev. Mr. Massey, of Durham, are men tioned as Populist candidates for Congress in this district. The Republicans themselves can not say whether there will or will not be fusion. Ex-Chairman Otho Wilson, of the Third party, says the Democrats do not want fusion, and that this is his reason for favoring it. Oates majority over Fraud Kolb in Alabama is 25,720. In Tennessee the Democrats walked away with the mongrel Thirdite-Kiubliean combine by 10,000. Where is the Third party at ? In the soup, by gum According to the latest figures of the United States census, one out of every eight among the children in this country under 10 years of age is unable to read or write, a much greater proportion of illiteracy than will be found in Germany, for in stance, where compulsory education prevails, and yet this illiteracy is almost entirely among the children of foreign parents. Dr. Kingsbury says the nomina tion of Charles M. Cooke is by far the best man of the candidates in the Fourth District and ought to go to Washington by a big majority. He is a very prominent Baptist layman, and the Baptists are very numerous in his District. He is withal a safe, sound man, a good lawyer and an upright, honorable citizen. His De mocracy is all right we take it. In the Fifth Gus Graham will make Settle skip around as he never did before. We expect not less than J000 majority for Graham. We have a well-equipped - oh 'fhc and c an do nice stationery work, hand bill vyork- n a t. all kinds of work at prices that will be reasona ble. We guarantee our stationery, and can please you."

It is a battle in which the Trust lias taken the peo ple b' the throat, and it will never end until we throw off its grip.'" A Topeka paper rises to remark that "Mrs. Lease will be our next Congressman; it is written in the skies." Perhaps; but it probably will be several moons before it will lie written in the election returns. That is the best place to write such things. Sky penmanship doesn't count in a close election. A Covington special to Richmond Dispatch says : Eighteen years in the State penitentiary is the penalty that the jury by whom Capt. Thos. A. Goodman was tried says he must pay for taking the life of Col. Henry C. Parsons, in the Lobby of the Gladys Inn at Clifton Forge, on the morning of June 20th last "They (the Alliance leaders) now claim that it will pay attention to agricultural matters." Too late, says the Charlotte Observer. Peo ple can't be caught twice with the same trick. The Thirdites may stay in the Alliance and keep up an empty pretence, or the' may not. As for the Democrats, they are out and will stay out. Usually it is the man who sayes the girl, but the proceeding was the reverse some days ago at Pelmar, N. J., when Mr. Miller, of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, in trying to swim across the mouth of Shark river, gave out and sank. Miss Lindsay, of Philadel phia, takingin his perilous situation, jumped into a boat and, rowing out to him, caught him when he came up and managed to save him un aided and' alone. North Carolina Democrats are Democrats. They are not s t rad tilers. They did not indorse a proposition looking to a bimetallic conference among European nations. They know it is absurd to await carrying out the honest conviction of the Democratic Chicago financial plank by awaiting upon goldbug England's good pleasure or upon the consent of Germany, Latin Union or any for eign Power sars the Wilmington Messenger. North Carolina Demo crats are in earnest in restoring sil ver, and do not favor any blarney or foolishness about it. It is sheerest rot to talk about waiting upon Eu rope to undo the grievous mischief already done in our country by the war on silver, the money of the Con stitution. Thne on Tariff Bill. This Congress, notwithstanding all impressions to the contrary, has really disposed of the tariff more quickly than any previous Congress that had the same task to perform, but it would have even been accom plished sooner if the Sugar Trust had not had a greenback tit in the mouths of several Demo ratic ai d Third party Senators. The Morrill tariff was reported to the House March 12, 1800, and pass ed that body in the following May, but did not pass the Senate until February 20, 1801, and was finally approved March 2, 1801, just before the expiration of the Congress that enacted it. The tariff of LSSii was reported in the House in March, 1882, and passed in .lune, but remained in the Senate tin reornary u, t, aim was ap proved March 3, the day before the expiration of that Congress. The McKinley tariff was not so long before Congress, but it was longer before the committee of ways and means, not being reported in the House till April 10, 181)0. It passed the Senate in September and was approved October 1, 1800, a month before the election of a new Con gress. The Wilson tariff was reported in the House December 10, 1 80:, passed that body February 1, passed the Senate -Inly 3, and passed finally August Ki, 1804. The time that elapsed between 'the election of this Congress and the enactment of the tariff is less than in any former case. You can boy 2 boxes of matches at It. L . Pitcnford's for 1 cent. jlj 6 THE TRUE LINE OF CAMPAIGN. For weeks and months the Re publicans and Populists have con tinued their assaults upon Demo cratic leaders and their misrepre sentations of the Democratic party. These assaults and misrepresenta tions have been permitted to go un checked in the belief that they would expend themselves and also because it has not been necessary to answer misrepresentations until the formal opening of the campaign, says the News and Observer. At the Congressional convention in Raleigh Hon. F. M. Simmons made a speech in which he laid down true line upon which the campaign must be conducted. He carried "the war into Africa," and exposed the fallacies of the coalition. He proyed that the Populists had deserted Sub treasury, government ownership of railroads, woman suffrage and the other peculiar principles which were the cornerstones of the new party when it was first organized, and was ever ready to change its principles and policies to catch every passing breeze. "The Populist party," said he, "platformless, caudidateless, principleless." And he proved, in a ringing speech, each of these pro positions. The Democrats will win by an ag gressive campaign. The speech of Mr. Simmons was red not. It gave no quarters to the opposition. That's the way to do it. The coalition is at enmity to good government. Any ordinarily well informed man can prove it. Let one and all follow the example set by Mr. Simmons and put our opponents on the defensive. It will demoralize the enemy and put them to rout. A COFFIN FULL OF COBS. What the Alabama Democrats Sent Granny Hoar. The Southern Express Company transported an odd package from Benton, Ala., to Washington. It was a coffin of cobs, and was shipped to Senator Hoar, in return for the '$5,000 subscription which he raised in the Home Market Club, of Bos ton, and sent to Alabama for the purpose of defeating Congresman Oates. The cobs, with which it was filled, represented the corpse of the dead and buried Reuben F. Kolb, who met his end before the avalanche of ballots, hurled upon his head by the Democrats of Alabama. On the lid was the inscription: "To Hon. G. F. Hoar, Washington, D. C. Home Market Club. Here in Bury your Hopes of Splitting the Solid South. Compliments of Ben ton, Ala., Democrats." To the right of the suppositious corpse on the side was in large, white letters, hastily but plainly painted. "By the Home Market Clnb, 5,000." On the opposite side was the offi cial ballot of the "Jeffersonian De mocracy," headed by the ill-fated name of Reuben F. Kolb, for Gov ernor, and followed by a complete list of candidates. On the same side were the words, "Further favors Solicited for Cam paign Purposes," This completed the writing. Senator George F. Hoar, better known by his political enemies and by the humorous press as "Granny," who is one of the most partisan of Republican leaders, just before the opening of the Kolb-Oates campaign in Alabama, took it upon himself to get a subscription from tne Home Market Club of Boston. He suc ceeded in raising $5,000, which was sent to Ruben Kolb and distributed among his henchmen. This influx of the Hoar corrup tion fund into Alabama proved a great god-send to the Alabama Dem ocrats, and immediately became good political capital in the defeat of the man whose effigy was sent in the forin of corn-cobs to Mr. Hoar by the Benton Democrats. The coffin was six feet in height and slender. Upon the top was a single cob, bereft of all corn, around which was tied a piece of crepe. Within, the cobs rattled, as the coffin was borne ruthlessly about, like the bones of a skeleton. As it was prepaid, the express com pany is bound to deliver it to Mr. Hoar in Washington.

What the Papers in the District say of Our Next Congressman. The nomination of Augustus W. Graham at Durham for Congress man from the Fifth Congressional district assures a Democratic victory in this district and a Democratic rep resentative in the next Congress. Gus Graham is honest, honorable and upright. His private and pub lic life have been pure, and his poli tics of the unalloyed Democratic kind. And withal he is an indefati gable worker. If the Democrats will do their duty he will be triumphant ly elected.-r-Alamance Gleaner. The Congressional Convention did a wise thing in nominating Gus Graham as their candidate. He will keep the flies off Tominie Settle, by rolling up a majority that will not be contested. Our friends, the Pop ulists, are surmising over the ticket that has been nominated by the Democrats and hope they will aban don the idea of placing a ticket in the field as we are all fighting for one and the same thing: honest men to represent us and am sure our ticket fills the bill. Cor. Durham Sun. The nomination of Mr. Augustus W. Graham, of Oxford, for the Fed eral House in the Fifth District, will prove, we have no doubt, a wise and fortunate choice. He is a good law yer of high standing with the legal profession. He is a man of integri ty, of sobriety, of ability, is a son of the late eminent William A. Gra ham, one of the noblest of men. Mr. Graham is popular, will make an effi cient canvass and will beat young Tom Settle, if he is the mongrel to oppose him. Mr. Graham married a daughtei of the late Professor James H. Horner, one of the great educi -tors of North Carolina Wilming ton Messenger. Says the Yancey ville News: Mr. Graham's speech in the Court House Tuesday fully convinced us that he is the right man to represent us in the Congress of the United States. We regret we have not space to pub lish his remarks which made a fa vorable impression for Democracy in this county but suffice it to say that it was one sparkling with the patriotism for his country that should call forth the applause of every true lover of our fair South land. The speech preceding Mr. Graham's, by Mr. Guthrie, was "as thin as air," and only a mere con coction calculated to mislead and de ceive, and only needed a few of Mr. Graham s well-aimed remarks to show its fickleness. Mr. A. W. Graham, (Gus) of Ox ford was nominated for Congress at Durham on the 7th inst. Mr. Gra ham is better known in the lower end of the district than here and above here, but large numbers of our leading men know him well and know that he represents fully the most liberal of Democrats, and being personally popular, will no doubt poll more than the party strength. Why should not Gus Graham le elected to Congress ? Why should any man wanting tariff and financial reform refuse to vote for Graham ? Mr. Graham has the undivided support of ther party, and at this time has the prospect of carrying every county but two. There is work to be done irom now till election day and on that day Graham must be elected, the district which is Democratic must be re deemed. Burlington News. We congratulate the Democratic masses upon the work of the conven tion. Mr. Graham, the nominee, is a true Democrat and stands flatfoot ed upon the platform of his party. He will make a rousing canvass and will preach the true doctrine from every stump. Mr. Graham is a n an of character as well as ability. The people can rely on what he says. This is the great need of the hour. There is much dissatisfation amongst the people, not oyer Democratic principles, but over the unfaithful ness of some who call themselves Democrats. The people are Demo cratic to the core. Our Third party friends seek to conjure with the old faith of Jefferson, saying they are better Democrats than ever. What' is needed is good men, men of honor. An unreliable man is unreliable, no matter what party he belongs to. Mr. Graham's record is an open book those who have trusted him have al ways found him true. Elect him, and the old Fifth will be voted hon estly in Congress upon the vital questions now pressing to the front. The people want a representative, a mouthpiece, not a boss, in Congress. Whatever strength and influence we possess will be gladly given to promote the triumph of Democratic principles in this district. Our standard-bearer is a good man and deserves an overwhelming victory. The Fifth district must be redeemed from misrepresentation. Webster's Weekly. The selection as the standard of A. W. Graham bearer of the De- mocracy for Congress in this Dis trict was a most happy and auspici- ous choice. A convention was never held the delegates of which seemed to be more of one mind. The finger of certainty pointed to Graham as the one man to redeem the District from Republicanism in the coming contest. His nomination by accla mation should be and will an earn est of the unanimity and enthusiasm of his election. Graham is a clean, decent, bran new man. He is fresh from the peo ple and in close touch with their in terests. He has been before the pub lic just enough to make the people want to know more about him. He has not been political life enough to corrupt him and the nomination sought him in this instance. He is a young man, but not youthful enough to put a premium on pueril ity as the youngest prodigy in Con gress. He has good blood in him and bears an illustrious name, but there is no father's or grand father's hat about him. Settle will make this year the fight of his life, but Graham will be an easy winner. This does not mean, however, that any pains will be spared or efforts relaxed to make his majority as big as possible. There is no reason why any Democrat should withdraw his support from Graham. There is no reason why he should not vote for him and whoop him up unto the going down of the sun on election day. He is a clean, vigorous, intellectual, soundly Democratic man against whom noth ing can be said and for whom a great deal may be said. It is predicted on all sides that he will make an able canvass of the District and .make it hot for Tommie on every stump. Graham is a young man with the best part of his life before him. Un like Settle, the best part of him is under ground. The plea of The Review for. a clean candidate is answered.
