HOW HAVE THE MIGHTY FALLEN.
Another of the fusion gang
has fallen. The other day it was
Dr. Kirby Smith of the peniten
tiarv and Sheriff Aldridgre, of
v
Pamlico. Today a terrible ac
cusation is made against Presi
dent Hancock of the Atlantic
and North Carolina Railroad by
his niece, the report of which
will be found in another column
of this oaDer. How have the
XX
mie-htv fallen. Mr. Hancock is
one of the leading Republicans
in the State, and the acknowl
edged leader of his party in the
House during the session of the
last Legislature. It was through
his . influence, more than any
other member of the Legisla
ture, that Newbern, Elizabeth
City, Greenville and Wilmington
were placed under negro rule,
and his fall' is but retributive
justice. To say we are surpris
ed does not express it, we are
astonished, and admit the
charges are so terrible in their
character that we do sincerely
hope they yet may be false. But
they arein line with the eternal
fitness of things as they exist in
this State today under the blight
ing influence of Russellism. We
are not surprised to hear that
the Governor will immediately
remove him from office if the
charges are sustained. He could
$Q nothing else Jforth Caro
lina lw sown fusion and is now
reaping Xiv? reward; A reward
that all good citizens predicted
when a combination was made
to defeat the Democrats, that
Was devoid of principle and only
had for its object the making of
while the sun shines. If
hatched out an idea which, if
adopted as, happily, it never
will be-woulget the black
jnan inttrpaqle where'Jie-is
& no troublitfall 'now, but is
e f rees &rtd befit contented
element of our population. He
could well afford to tell its. met
ropolitan, guardian, who wants
to put a gun .in his hip pocket,
that if it will kindly withdraw
its friendship he will be able to
take care of his enemies.
DEMOCRATS NEED HAVE "NO RUTHERS."
Tiay
.Mr, Hancock is guilty of these
terrible charged against the law
of God and humanity, no punish
ment is too great, and like Cain,
he ought to be branded with the
brand of infamy for all time If
he is innocent no one; will re
joice more in his vindication
than the Messenger-Gizette.
A FOOL FRIEND.?
Having in mind, doubtless, the
recent Georgia postoffice case,
the New York ? Press, Republi
can, demonstrates what a fool it
is by suggesting that "negro
office-holders in the South should
be armed and made ito under
stand that they are as good as
white people." Whereupon the
Columbia Register "would like
to know what the; New York
Press has against the negro."
The inquiry Lis pertinent. The
negro office-holder in the South
is1 not disturbed fn the discharge
of his duty. On the contrary,
there is quite general acquies
ence in the idea that, the negro
constituting almost the entire
strength of the Republican par
ty in this section, it is right that
he should come in for a share of
the offices when his party is in
power; Democrats are more
ready to concede this to him
than the white Republicans are
to grant it. But Linden would
see another sight if I the black
office-holder "should be armed''
and go blustering around the
country, asserting his equality
and inviting somebody to ffetep
on the tail of his coat.
The New York Press has
The Greenville, S. C, News
says that "whatever may be the
sins of Mark Hanna, his defeat,
if he is defeated, will be attri
buted to no higher motives than
the envy and spite of enemies in
his own party. Hanna may be
a very bad sort of politician, but
he will not be kept out of the
United States Senate on that ac
count. J. B. Foraker and his
tools hate Hanna and are knifing
him, and the Foraker crowd are,
to put it mildly, no better than
Hanna. "
That is the real truth about
the matter a truth which we
must all admit to ourselves when
we look at the Ohio contest
broadly. While the Democratic
impulse as to Republicans is
that of the greenhorn in the
side-show - concerning snakes
to kill them wherever he finds
him and while as to this par
ticular case a Democrats first
wish is that Hanna may be de
feated, it really makes no differ
ence to Democrats after all. The
schism in the Republican party
of Ohio, resulting from long
years of factional strife, and ac
centuated by this Senatorial con
test, is now complete, and will
not be helped by Hanna's defeat
or his election. The Democratic
party will be the beneficiary of
this contention and as 'to the dif
ference betwe 6B Hanna and For
aker well, there i qq choice j
among spoiled fish. Hanna is a
boodler; Foraker is a flannel
mouthed sectiopalist andbloody-
shirte. Let them fight it out.
Democrats can afford to look on
with amused interest, but there
is nothing to prompt them to the
partisanship which men ordi
narily exercise even in watching
a fight between two strange
dogs.

Governor Russell and liis com
missioners think there has been
a great crime in the fact, if it
be a fact, that Mrs. Wilson, a
widow lady was given reduced
rates on household furniture
from Raleigh to Round Knob.
Whether it be true or not, the
people will be slow to condemn
the poor woman who is striving
to make a living, or the railroads
for giving her some considera
tion, when they remember the
Governor himself, a rich man,
besides drawing a large salary
