CO., JOt ! ,.. Prohibition. Mr i Editor: Since writing my last letter 1 was up at town aud kind-er nosed around, like Fridaj' Swan son, to see how many friends were with me on Prohibition. The fire-eati ug Democrats and Kepub lieaus are of coarse against us. They call it the third party move ment. Well, now, suppose it is; if it is moving in the right direc tion let her roll. Jones had a prohibition Democrat and a pro hibition Bepnblicau in his oiiice, the other day, and tried to get them to make a lirm agreement to vote for Fisk, or not vote at all. The Democratic prohibitionist agreed to do ho, but the Republi canprohibitionist refused to be bound. I guess he did not know whether the leaders would let him or not. "Now, we don't want auy weak-kneed prohibitionists; we want men that will . come to us while we are weak aud stick to us as we, grow stronger we need all the help we can get now, and the time is coming fast and quick when we will be independent of some who want to be leaders.Jones was only trying to scare oil' both the Democrat and Uepnblican when he attempted to bind them. But heis oneoftho.se blue Dem ocrats, and is more to be pitied than blamed. It is funny, Mr. Editor, to notice now your neighbors are moving i i i i n t and -working and talking. Kom. Einney talks 'Tlecanoe iUid Boo- dle, too," "Log cabin and hard ci- Uler," -he must leave off the hard cider if. he' is goidg with us: aud ' we will take no Tipoeanoe and Boodle in ours. Ue talks about poor little Benjamin .and Levi Morton; he says Levi wasouco a bankrupt, ami that when he be came a Wall strcet broker lie got rich, maile a supper, invited his creditors and put a check for the amoun t he owed them under each man's, .plate. If Boodle Morton wants to 'carry .North Carolina he ought to give a banquet, invite State Treasurer Bain and put those North Carol iua fraudulent tax. bonds that he is tryiug to make us pay under Bain's '"-.plate. 'Tote fair with us, Roiu. Come out from among them; come fo the party with a clean, cold water rec ord. I talked -vith Ale. Little, but I Could not tell where he was. I don't believe he is a prohibition ist, and I don't believe he is a Democrat' or a Republican,. Tor. when he was with Linney he was for Linney and was willing to do any thing Rom said; but Rom doesn't want any office, ami it is hard tellihg where Mc. will be in November. When he gets out of sight of Kom he says Clevelaud is al wrong on tariff but he will vote lor him I don't know much about tariff, 'but Mc. reads a heap and is up on tariff. They say the Judge of the Star Chamber Court doesn't talk poll tics 'much in public, except under certain circumstances.. I never heard him but once, and he made a good speech, but the crowd was not large. I am told he did not like my letter, well, I can't help it. I have got as m uch righ t to be a Prohibitionist as he has to be a .Republican I believe more. I avouUI not be a Judge of a Star Chamber Court for ..'all- the money that is in it, for I would be forced to look at Friday and hear him prosecute in the Star Cham ber Court, like they say he did when Fox was tried, aud Friday maoe the witnesses swear they had been offered a bribe but he did not make tliem swear that they took the money poor Fox laid on the rock. I heard a man say that Friday told the jailor that it would be to his interest to . . ... .' Luut UP Cllses aWtl then he c()uld get to feed them, and make Oig llwltt,. y.m, at- ViPtm- I ,i,m't moMeJ ? 1 ' t01, 1 don t believe that Inday has any- right to prosecute :u the Star Chamber Court, and I don't "beliew he ought to be allowed to prosecute and cross examine witnesses. I am satisfied that there is "not a magistrate in the county that would allow Sheriff Sharpe to act as court officer and prosecuter,too. It seems Friday is a little too zeal ous; he ought uot to stir up litiga tion by holding out inducements to jailors aud witnesses to report violations. I heard a man say the other day that he could sit any where around town and tell from the looks of the parties who entered the Star Chamber in what part of the county Friday would next be heard from, in making arrests. But this isn't strange, if a man is a good judge of human nature. But is. it right! No! Then let the people kuo.w it, and it will not be Ion g t ill our party will be fel t at elections... v Proiiiritiosist. Taylorsville, July lO. Politics to the West of Us From the Stat esviile Landmark: From what can be learned down here, politics is in a good condi tion in most of the neighboring counties to the west of us. The Democrats of Watauga, Ashe and Alleghany have just nominated ; M r. Winfield S. Far thing, of Witauga, for the Senate. He is a v capable man, enjoys a large popularity, and will be elec ted himself and strengthen the whole ticke. Our folks iromise to carry Wa tauga by a handsome majority. They are united and coutideut while the "Tamraeks" (this being thiVhwnf niimh "ivt'ii the I?enubli- cans of the tal timber of Watau- j41Tommy Make Room for Your ga) are demoralized and hopeles'rAuiititj.'" The Democrats will put out stron if i fa ; aim acceptable men for the legis lature aud the ''county oilices. By the way, could they do better than noaiinaee for the House D.B. Doughtery, Esq., of Boone? None ot 'our business, you know, but ev - erybody in this part of the State knows '.of him as a cultivated gen - tloiiKin.;! I)etiiicrar.on whom there is no discount, and one of the best party workers tn the west. . - In Ashe there are, it is reported, some local troublesjbut it is hoped they will'be composed before the election. Ashe is a very close j couuty and our friends do not of- ten win a clean victory iu it. This year the fact that a man who was iu the party of revenue ruffians who murdered the Snyders a num ber of years ago is the Republican caudidato for Lieutenant Gover nor, is depended upou to turn the stomachs of enough Republicans to give the county to the Demo crats. Our friends ought to pool their issues and nominate the strongest men. Alleghany is reported all right. She never deni. d the faith but" once, and can be depended upou for a solid majority this year. Rev. Isaac Lenders will probably be nominated for the House. In '.Wilkes the prospect is still excellent. Those admirable poli ticians, W.W. Barber and John E. McEWin, will doubtles be nomi nated for t he Senate and for Sher iff, respectively. Several first class-men -are spoken of for the House, among them Capt. John A. Cooper, John S. Cray u or, Esq., aiid R. W. Coivard, Esq. The Wilkes Democrats are thoroughly in earnest this year and are hump- ing themselves for a victory along the line. The 'Old Mountain Boy," as the statesman from Trap Hill is fond of calling himself, is very quiet thus far, and may con clude to let "some other good man'' contest the Congressional race with Colonel Cowles. Tyre is not very fond of running unless there is something in sight. ; Our excellent Taylorsille cor respondent keeps our readers well posted as to the politics of Alex- ; under couity. The Democrats of, JULY 19, 1888. that gallant little couuty are buoy ant and at work, and expect to in crease their last majority. There will be no room in Alexander this year for the independent foolish ness. The convention on the 30th will put a full ticket hi the field aud xut it through at the polls. If they will organize m their towu- ships, as it now looks like they will, and. get out their voters,they can settle once and for all the in dependent business, which has for years been the bane of politics. In all the counties named the nomination of Judge Fowle is the most acceptable one that could have been ma'de, and if the bal ance of the State will do its duty as they wfill do theirs he will have the largest majority that has been secured in the State since the war. Dockery, Pritchard and Nichols Speak in Durham. . From the Durham Gazette. J Last Saturday morning, it was aunouueed by dodgers scattered around town that Hon. Oliver II. D ockery, the great Pedee farmer ; would address the citizens of Dur ham at 8:30 o'clock in frout of the new Court House. The 0 p.m. train brought not only Dockery but also Pritchard, Republican candidate for Lt. Gov ernor, and Hon. J. Nichols, Repub lican candidate for Congress in this District. The sun went down and the stars came out,aud with them came the negro brass band. With ear-splittiug, crocodile, music it was announced that the llepubli- j can gladiators had entered tlie arena and wo ild proceed at , once to make the fur ffv to the tune of On t he platform were the speak ers and brass band. In front of the platform was the entire negro pop ulation, of Durham and suburbs, and behind the uegroes were about one hundred and fifty white Dem- ! ocrats and a very lew wnite Ke- publicans. 1 The first speaker, Mr. Pritchard ! was introduced and made oue ot the poorest speeches of his life, enthusiasm crowd and with sweat There w asn't enough j in it to wake up he sat dowu cove the covered ! aud uglory". Who is this mau Pritchard and where did he come from! He is very good looking, is about six feet in his stockings; has a mus tache, aud a big mouth. He lives in Marshall, Madison couuty, a little towu on the W. N. 0. R. R. between Asheville and Warm Springs. It is one town that can not grow. Ou the one side, aud in the shape of a crescent, the mountains shoot up almost perpen diculaiiy,several hundred feet. On the other, the town is touched by the beautiful French Broad, and across the river peaks ascend several hundred feet. There are ouly two outlets from Marshal : by the river and a small moun tain pass. Mr. Pritchard is an emblematical reoreseutative of his townhe has his growth, and is most wretchedly dwarfed men tally aud progressively. He is an ex-revenue omcer aud for fifteen years waged war agaiust the block adersin the mountains. The dark deeds laid at his door would put the imps of the devil to blush. We are -fold, by' a gentleman from that section that Pritchard, armed by a Republican law, was in at the death of a dozen or more poor fellows who tried to run the "block" He rung up the curtain when the tragedy began. It was a tragedy enacted with mountain passes and deep gorges 'for amphitheatres, and dea n claimed the victims. Pritchard was the hero of this tragedy, as there are heroes in every tragedy, enacted iu a thea ter. This may be law, but it is murder. Such is the hero of the Republican party, such the -man they cho.e to lead their forces. i $1 Per Year. Dockery was the second speaker. He spok very well but did not sustain his reputation s the ablest man in the Republican party in North Carolina. He was frequent ly interrupted, bat be laid himself liable to severe attacks. He has a reputation as a bitter partizau and an assailer of personal char acter. But the memorable cam paign in which he was defeated by Waddell for Congress had noc beeu forgotten. At the first joint speaking Waddell drew his pistol and laid it by him and said: "Dockeryi the first time you as sail my personal character I'll shoot von." He meant what he said and Dockery knew it. The campaign Was consequently free from per sonal abuse, and in the discussion of the Dolitical issues Wiiddfdl was triumphantly victorious. Dockery tried to excite and en thuse the negroes. He was large ly successful. The bodies of the negroes swayed as when under the excitement of a "camp meet ing.77 ana Irequeutly interrupted Dockery with such expressions as Dat's so, Yes Lor', Give 'hit to 'em boss, We's gwine to bury dem Dem- crats, And many others. Such speeches produce riots. The great Danville riot was proceeded by an incendi ary speech of the Repu bl ica u W ise. Nichols was as a school boy making his first speech. The crowd cheered when he had finished so glad were they, the band struck up, Johnny Get Your Hair Cut," aud the speakers went to Vaughu's Drug Store and drank limeade. Thnrman in the-Senate. Blaine's Twenty; Years in Congress. , His rank in the Senate was es-, tablished from the day he took his seat, aud was never Iowenl during the period cf his services. He was an admirably disciplined debater, was lair in his meth od of statement, logical iu his ar gument, honest in his conclusions. He had no trick in discussion, no catch phrases to secure attention, but was "always direct and manly His mind was not preoccupied and engrossed with political contests or with affairs of state. He had natural and cultivated tastes out side of those fields. He was a dis criminating reauer, and enjoyed not only serious books,but inclined also to the lighter indulgence of romance and poetry. Tueso tastes illustrate the genial side of his nature aud were a fitting com-, plement to the stronger aud stern er elements of the man. His re tirement from the Senate was a serious loss to his partya loss,in deed, to the bodv. He left behind him the respect of all with whom he had been associated during his tw elve ears of honorable service. Democratic Rise, Republican Fall. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. Iu the presidential election of 1872 thero were eight States, which voted the Democratic tick et; iu 1870 there , were seveteeu Democratic States; in 18S0 there were nineteen Democratic States; a ud 1881 there were twenty. I :i 1872 there were thirty States vo ting the Republcau ticket, or re jected, or stolen; in 1870 there, were twenty-one thes tat -goried; in 1880 there were nineteen, and in 1881, eighteen. This is tho march of destiny. Univeutity of North Caro lina. The next session begins Aug. ;?0. Tuition reduced to &50-.a. half ear. Poor students may give not's.
