The bossiest boss of all the bosses is Boss Maryann Butler. The calamity howlers having won will now give business a chance. Judge Graves is no more. He died at his home in Mt. Airy last week in the Goth year of his age. fie was an upright .Bulge and a pure man. Capt. Sam Ashe says that every Senatorial candidate can now have the pleasure of saying: "If the Leg- i-L.hu e had gone Democratic he would have been elected Senator.' After all David B. Hill had all to tr;iin and nothing to lose in the fight. He could never have expected to be 1'resident. except by carrying New York, and he still retains his seat in the Senate. Granville Democracy is still alive and ready to battle for their prin ciples. In the battle just ended re duced the Third party vote 200 less than it was two years ago. Ye have no cause to be ashamed as we did well. General Calamity Howl proved to be a howling success last week, but the Republicans yelped him up and drove him in their net and cap tured the General who wiil now try to lead the black brigade of the South. We don't suppose there will be any more hard times or debts or land mortgages in North Carolina. All a man will have to do will be to go out in the woods and gather gi eenbacks f nun the trees, says an exchange. Will it be done. The Populists guaranteed that cotton would go to 10 cents a pound and tobacco jump up to old time juices if the fusion iet should carry North Carolina. Well, we will see whether they car ry out their promises or not. The fact is, after all, that though our schools are a marvel almost in the good the" have done and are doing, they are capable of a far greater degree of usefulness, but the exact direction which the devel opments should take is as yet far from final solution. The representation that Demo crats had not carried out their prom ises, says the Enterprise, the cry of hard times and the low price of cot ton were the causes of former Dem ocrats voting the other way this time to see if good times could be brought about by the fusionists as they so confidently promised if they were given a trial in North Carclina. It remains to be seen if the party which did so much talking about the Democrats not carrying out their promises will be able to carry out theirs. They will be on the defen sive next time. ! We have met the f'usionists in ! North Carolina and we are theirs. Xo party ever hail a purer or more courteous candidate than Mr. A. W . Graham. He fought valiantly never stopping to dot an i or cross a t, and winning golden opinions even from those whose politics he most vigor ously denounced. ! The silver men of Colorado and ! other mining States are maturing i plans for launching a Silver party. ! They will co-opeaate uit'i the M ! metalists of the South and ivist and a call will soon be issu. d 1'or a meeting to effect an organ v. it ion. Lt seems that Coxey, the leader of the Thirdites in Ohio went under with the Republican cyclone. The official count for the ISth district complete gives Taylor, Uep., 20.835; Raff, Dem., 10,00; Coxey, Pop., S.91S. Coxey 's vote exceeds the es timate of the Republican and Dem ocratic committees by 5.000. Now we can !o k for better wages all along the line. The Republicans achieved their victory on the theory that Democratic rule had reduced wages and prices of all kinds of pro duce, and the express promise that Republican rule would increase them and we expect them to make haste to redeem the promises. The association of the 1 Jev. Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage with the Brook lyn Tabernacle has been formally severed. His resignation is due, he said, to the fact that he does not feel that he should ask his old con-o-reu-ation to build the 4th church for him He advises them to either join other churches or build for a new pastor. Seldom was betting on an elec tion heavier than it was in New York City this time. It is said that in one ward there was 500. 000 in bets. "Mike" Dwyer, a well known sport, won 35.000. His brother "Phil." lost $10,000. "Al" Adams representing a syndicate of Republicans, put up 175.000 on Morton and Strong. Newton Enterprise saj-s, a Pop was telling a Democrat the other day of the blessings of free coinage at 16 to 1. The Democrat asked him what he meant by 10 to 1. Why, it means that our government should give every man 10 for every member of his family and as he had four in his family he expected 04 as soon as the pops ccme in. Congressman Bryan has issued a manifesto to Nebraska Democrats in which he sums up the causes which led to the defeatof the fusion forces, and announces his retire ment from the political arena. ' shall continue as a lawyer and editor to advocate fusion of Populists and Democrats. It is the only hope against the combined monopoly.'1 Everything is propitious now for the Democrats to start fresh, and they should do it in the most reso lute manner. If they shall profit by the healthy clean up that the Re publicans give them in both State and nation they can at once become an important factor in polities and get in good trim for 1890. Let all factions come together for future usefulness in our politieal battles. For the first time in two years the Democrats can now realize how the Republicans felt in "92 when the big Democratic tidal wave swept over the country, only at that time we had in some respects a Democratic President, and he will continue in charge of the reins for two years. If we ever elect another President it is to be hoped he will be a true Democrat and will work for the in terest of his party. Two Lives Saved. Mrs. Phoebe Tto nas, of Junction City. 111., was told by her doctors that she had consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery completely cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thomas Eggers, 139 Florida St., San Francisco, suffe'red from a dreadful cold, approach ing consumption; tried without result everything else then bought one bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery and in two weeks was cured He is naturally thank ful. It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the wonderful ef ficacy of this medicine in coughs and colds Free trial bottles at J. G. Hall's drug store. Regular size 50c. and $1 00, WHAT DID IT. i Well the Democrats have without ! doubt received the most severe drub- bing ever administered to them. The j Republicans have swept things al : most everywhere and have gobbled up the Third Party with a whoop. The solid South is broken and good old North Carolina has been cap tured by the Republicans and their allies, the Third party, which are one and the same. Once more the voters have regis tered one of those pronounced re versals of recent choice to open t heir eyes in amazement at theirvaulting. Nearly all looked for a largely in creased Republican vote and some Republican gains in States and in members of Congress. The most sunguine of Republicans did not ex pect the deluge that came. Even our Third party friends did not ex pect that they too would go down with the wreck and did not have courage to predict so much. How is it to be explained ? In this way : No party in the his tory of the country was ever be fore called to face so formidable list of dangers and difficulties. We shall specify a few : First camethe hard times,; the serious financial revolutions and in dustrials depression of the last year and a half, involving prolonged idle ness for the workingmen and many reductions of wages. All this was clearly the climax of reckless Re publican legislation which had found an overflowing treasury in 1889 and left it bankrupt in 1893; which had exacted taxes of the peo ple higher than ever before ; which had mutiplied trusts and combines everywhere and made over produc- tiou and consequent stagnation in many agricultural, mining and man ufacturing lines and yet in the face of all this the Third party in this State join hands with the party that had brought disaster aud ruin upon the country and stand ready to place the people of North Carolina under the domina tion of negro rule. These, supple mented by depression and panic in creditor countries across the water, brought the hard times. But, though plainly heralded, they did not finally come until the Demo crats had actually reached power. They were an unwelcome inheri tance to the Democrats from the Republicans. But the people, suf fering, make no such distinctions as these, refuse to go into causes, and are ever ready to hit the head in sight rather than take the trouble to seek out the real culprit who, as in this instance, most often seeks to hide behind the ciy of stop thief. The calamity howl. This was a prime cause. The howler not only howled of the calamity that had been, but of the calamity that was here, and the calamity that was to come. Now that there is no far ther necessity for lying in this re gard the Republicans will join with the Democrats in duly recording the abundant signs of reviving industry that are and have for some time been at hand. Meanwhile the Dem ocratic tariff is safe for some years and time will go on improving. The Tammany exposures were local and were unmasked, but their influence was felt against us in every corner of the land. The long continued wrangle be tween the Democratic factions in Congress on the subject of the tariff. This not only put off the settlement and thereby prolonged the depres sion, but it gave the impression that our party had not the courage of its convictions and greatly lessened pop ular faith in us. This was supple mented by the opposition of Mr. Cleveland and his administration to free coinage of silyer. The Democratic fueds in all di rections, growing out of the wran gles for office, there being not a tenth enough to go round under the mugwump policy of Grover Cleve land. This naturally made the second year of his administration to be dreaded and brought disaster to both of his administrations. And last but not least, the gene ral lack of harmony among the lea ders of the Democratic party. There is no love lost between Harrison, Reed and McKinley, but they all pulled together for their party. In the Democratic camp there wras snapping snarling aud consequently many failed to take part in the po lital battle which resulted so disas trously to the party. Hut the slump has come and, how ever it be explained, is itself the se rious thing to face. The only silver lining in the at present obscured heavens is the fact that the tariff bill is'here to stay, even if the Re publicans have got Congress, long enough to vindicate itself, to ap prove its wisdom, and if we are as wise as we should be we shall be able to utilize that fact iu reonjrau izing our lines and getting ready for hopeful battle two years hence. THE FUTURE OF PARTIES DEHO CRATS MUST GET TOGETHER. As a seperate factor in politics the Populist party of North Caro lina will perish out of sight before the next election. Its leaders wil become, to all intent and purposes, Republicans, though they may seek to delude their followers by still calling themselves Populists. In the secret councils between them selves and the Republican chieftains however there will be no pretense that there is any difference between them. The result of the election in North Carolina last Tuesday was in fact a Republican victory, the Re publicans furnishing a great prepon derance of the votes for the ticket. Besides, the Populist party as a na tional organization was swept away last week and the fight of the fu ture narrows to what it has been for thirty-five years: to a fight be tween the Democratic and Republi can parties. Under these circum stances what will become of the North Carolina Populists who have protested that they have no sympa thy with Republicanism and that their association with it was onlv temporary and for the accomplish ment of a specific purpose, remains to be seen. Having broken the ice last Tuesday, a great many of them will certainly become outright Re publicans. Others, when the fine times which they have been led to expect if they could only carry tin election, do not appear, may return to the Democratic party. They have been grossly deceived and we hope that when they learn this they will turn in resentment from those who have duped them, says t Charlotte Observer. Amidst ail speculation and doubt, however, the duty of our Democrat ic people stands out clear and dis tinct: This duty is to compose our differences, exercise charity for each other, abstain from harsh comment on each other, and in ev ery way seek, by kindness and con cession among ourselves, to promote the unity of the party to the end that we may present an unbroken front to the enemy iu 1890. The prevailing disagreements among us among the administration and the anti-administration men, the free silver and anti free silver men are deplorable and they must be com posed if we are to regain, two years hence, what we have just lost.
