We must make a straightforward, man- THE DEflOCRATS AND FREE SIL VER. The Philadelphia Times, which is a straight out sound money paper, says unless there shall be a very pos itive reaction among the Democrats in many of the States between this and the meeting of the national convention at Chicago, there is lit tle reason to hope that the friends of sound money will be able to con trol the highest tribunal of the Democratic party. It is now reasonably certain that the Republicans will make a distinct declaration in fayor of the gold standard, and it is quite possible that several of the little free silver States may bolt, but they cannot make a ripple on the surface as against the party in the coming contest. The Democrats will meet several weeks after the Republicans, and they will have every opportu nity to note the drift of public opin ion toward a sound money policy, but the present tide in favor of free silver must reach an ebb at an early period, if the Democrats shall not be overwhelmed by the free silver craze at Chicago. A considerable' majority of the States have yet to elect their dele gations to the Democratic national Convention, but there is little doubt as to how nearly all of those yet to elect will declare on the silver issue. Taking the action of the States which have already declared on the subject, and the best information as to the others, the following seems to be the probable strength of the sound money and cheap money ele ments in the Chicago convention: S'ates.

It is doubtful whether Georgia shall laye 8 sound money Democrats out of the 28, but it is possible, and we count that number, and it is very doubtful whether one-half of the ndiana delegation will be in fayor of the gold standard. We rank Kentucky with the sound money men because the last Democratic convention so declared, but it is ad mitted that the battle in that. State is not entirely free from doubt, and he 26 votes placed in the gold col umn may be transferred to the other side. We regard it as a very liberal estimate to divide the Louisiana del egation evenly. There is no likeli- rood that more than half the dele gation will be for sound money, and it is possible that less than that number will be faithful in the end. There is a contesting delegation rom Nebraska that is in favor of sound money, but it is the creation of a bolting convention, and there is little likelihood that it can be rec ognized. Ohio is quite uncertain on the money issue, and the chances are more than even that two-thirds of the delegation from that State will be for free silver. The Vir ginia delegation will not have more than 4 votes for sound money, with 20 against it, and West Virginia may have more than 0 of the 12 votes cast on the side of free silver There is a shade of doubt as to Wis consin, but the chances are much in favor of a solid delegation against the free silver craze According to the table we give the free silver men would have 70 majority in the Chicago national convention. The certainty of a bolt of the sound money men in the event of the adoption of a free sil ver platform at Chicago, may infln ence enough-of those who incline to free silver but who would not follow it to the disruption of the party, to give the sound money men a major ity of the body, but the chances are today against the success of an hon est money policy in the nation a convention of the party that has ruled this government during more than half the period of its existence A declaration by the Democratic party in favor of the degradation o our, currency and the destruction of national credit would simply be the death knell of Democracy ; but mad ness seems to rule ihe Democrats of the South aud West, and everything now points to a Democratic suicide at Chicago. WHITE SUPREriACY AND SILVER. There is nothing in the status of the political situation at present to frighten or cause the friends of sil ver and good government to be dis mayed, says the Free Press: , Out of the throes of political strife has come prominently before the people a grand tenet of Democracy, which has ever been held as a fundemental principle of party creed, to-wit: the restoration of silver to use as pri mary money. Howsoever this issue may be attempted to be emphasized by this party or that, the rauk and file of Democracy in thisState have eyer been the champions of the cause of silyer, and so says the re cord. The issue of silver may have been at different times somewhat obscured by local issues of more or less importance, but whenever the cause of silver has been brought before th friends of white suprem acy and the white metal, the Demo cratic party in this State gave forth no uncertain sound. It is true, that some, even in this State, who have heretofore affiliated with the party, claiming to be ex ponents of its creed, and as such, lave been greatly honored by the people of this State, now hold or claim to hold a diffarent view upon the question of finance, but be it remembered that the Democratic creed has ever been the same in re gard to the restoration of the white metal to its proper function and that white government was best for white people of North Carolina. When Mr. Carlisle, Mr. Hoke Smith, men whom the South delighted to honor, were called to sit in the national capital it was natural for the peo- le of the South to indulge in the fond hope that at least these great tenets of their political faith would be emphasized and, and if possible, incorporated into the law of the and, but the political stultification of these, together with that of Hon. John Henderson, Gudgerand others in this State, but exemplify the force of lust for office "over weak human nature on the one hand, and the strength and incorruption of great political principle on the other. in an evil hour failing. Covered by their own infamy; While the cause of truth and honor, Is entrusted to nobler sons. Therefore it remains lor the sup porters of these great principles white supremacy and the white metal, by discreet counsel and wise action, to bring every honorable ef fort to bear to consumate this great end. We believe silver can be restored to its proper function, and white supremacy perpetuated in the good Old North State if the proper steps are taken to unify the ..friends of these measures. Much, however, depends, let us insist, upon concert of action, wise counsel, and a proper conception of the task before us. RICiHT MAN FOR GOVERNOR, A correspondent of the News & Observer puts its just right in our humble opinion when he says : "I lave looked the State over (in my mind) for the man that can carry he largest Democratic vote for the next Governor of North Carolina, and in my opinion the man that has presided over three succesive legis lative bodies without a charge of un fairness or impartiality is the man. There is not a countv in the State but what has men that can speak a word in honor of Hon. R. A. Dough ton from personal observation, and with him for our standard bearer, D. L. Russell would feel worse after the election than he did when he resigned as Captain of his Company at Fort Caswell during the war to keep from being court martialed and cashiered."

A Northern man and a Republi can, a Mr. Baker, of Fall River, Mass., arrived in the city Monday with his eyes opened. Mr. Baker was sitting in front of the La Fay ette Hotel listening to a number of gentlemen discussing politics. He suddenly arose from his seat and said: "Gentlemen, you are all strangers to me, but if you will al low it, 1 want to unburden my mind of an humble thought. I was born and reared in Massachusetts, the hot bed of abolition, and have been taught to believe all my life that. the Republican and negroes were badly treated by the Democrats of the South, in fact that they were still little better than slaves. Last Friday I stopped in a Southern city, the city of Raleigh, for the first time in my life. 1 heard that there was a Republican State convention in session and I went, charged with sympathy for the oppressed Repub licans, I stood and gazed at that howling, seething, cursing mob, and but a few moments was sufficient to convince me that if I his was Repub licanism in the South, then God de liver her from it. Boys, I am a Southern Democrat in heart and spirit if not by residence." Fayette- yille Observer. From LaGrippe. How Dr. Miles' Nervine Restored One of Kentucky's Business JoiV'i Men to Health. No DISEASE has ever presented so many peculiarities as LaGrippe. No disease leaves its victims so debilitated, useless, sleepless, nerveless, as LaGrippe. Mr. D. W. Hilton, state agent of the Mut ual Life Insurance Co., of Kentucky, says: "In 1SS9 and '90 I had two severe attacks of LaGrippe, the last one attacking my ner vous system with such severity that my life was despaired of. I had not slept for more than two months except by the use of nar cotics that stupefied me, but gave me no rest. I was only conscious-of intense mental weakness, aaronizius- bodily pain and the fact that I was hourly growing weaker. When in this condition, I commenced using Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine. In two days I began to improve and in one month's time I was cured, much to tiie surprise of all who knew of my condition.
