Let it be kpcvn that every patriotic
merchant in North Carolina will lend
the influence ; of .his r establishment to
the Democratic party for one day, by

. By this means toany thousand active
Democratic workers can give their as

State. ! : ,r
Let not those who nave the jttuod of
their country at heart be iritimioirted
into restraining their clerks from leav
ing because some more narrow-minded
fellow-merchant insist upon keeping
his place of business open on election
day. ;r
.The unfavorable comment made
agafnst the few illiberal dealers, who
would hold active; workers fronJ the
polls in order Jo catch the small trade
that floats on election day, would in
crease in the future the business of
those who closed, for the people are not
ungrateful. Democrat.. ,

Telling BptU by Kx-Gor.: Jarvis,
Uu. W. It. Cx( A. W. Grabam
and OtHera-.Great Kuthtam.
As had been announced all over the
county, the Democrats of Walnut
Grove ' township, assembled en masse
on yesterday to hear the sound doc
trines of the party asset forth by some
of the most prominent speakers of the
st.: ? ;f;;;rln;,,'; ; r'1 ;i-';:v' "
; While waiting for Gov: Jarvis to
arrive", Hon. A. W. Graham was loud
ly called for, and in keeping' with his
principles he responded m a strong
speech, urging all white men to" stand
together in the coming election. He
pointed out to his hearers the great
importance of Democratic supremacy,
and concluded with an appeal to their
reason and judgment to decide' be
tween the two parties. s 1
After an intermission of about an
hour, during which rtime a-- bountiful
dinner was spread in the grove, Gov.
Jarvis was introduced,, and, although
suffering wit)) a sore throat, his speech
was all that could be wished for. " He
said that he had been ' informed of
some prejudices in and out of the Al
liance, and that his visit was for the
purpose of settling all differences.
My friends, pull off your overcoats of
prejudices, and in neat-fitting Demo
the;-polls craelec?-.
tion day and deal such death-blows to
Republicanism that nothing on earth
can mUrrecf it.'- . He was frequently
interrupted by bursts of applause and
hhti entire c speech 1 1 was calculated; to
unite all white rheA iri the "grand old
cause. ' 1 ;t -1 f -' ' j

i Gen. W R; Cox . was the next
speaker. ? uIIe refeired. to Jiaving ' met
many of his hearers before some of
whom He remembered" " 'as braves
among the : bravest ' in the late- war.
His speech was a practical exposition
of portions- of the tariff, showing how
the, burdens bore, ' more " hea vil y upon
thVfarming c&sses, "and all this," said
'he, 'is the work of. .the Republican
party. Will you longer submit to such
unjust discrimination?' ' At the close
of: his remarks ?hevpaid an eloquent
tribute to the ladies,' irianv of whom
were present. .- t. k ; ;r-,
A. A. Hicks was t called for and
briefly presented the' claims 'of the
county candidates, urging all pemo
crats to register, and. vote if they loved
good government, : their homes and
their families. ;-. . .

FRESH FROM THE PRESS.
Happenings t j North , Carolina and
Elsewhere from Today's Papers.
There is a large size: row going on
in Philadelphia, Pa.j over the attempt
ed transfer of a negro feM to a whiter
school by one of .the Ischoot board.
Xhe teachers in the white " school re
fused to teach ber and appealed to the
board; -which! sustained them and
sent the girl back, to the ' school from
which she was transferred. . , The mem-,
ber who made the transfer is wrought
hp over the matter - and promises to
give the board more trouble about it
yet. This is a pretty fair 'indication,
that they dop't waut social. equality in,
the North. - - .
' The, Winston correspondent of the.
Raleigh Slate Chronicle writes : While
in conversation with) one of ihe best
informed men in political: circles in
Rockingham county, I was told that.
BaldyWilliamSj will carry the county
by Soo r votes. ; ,MajI J. T. Morehead
told me yesterday hat he would cer
tainly carry Guilford and that it would
not surprise him in the least if the
Democratic idounty ticket is not elected
A Stokes gentleman today told me that
Williams wouldget "a majority of
460, Barber of 250 and Fulton of 200
in the election in that county, and that
