Is Vance Safe?'
Tho
Legislature elect is stmg-
ly. Der locratic, and the; most
of the members have benelec
ted on a square Vanbo plat
form j there is a good majority
elect e i with positive instruc
tionshb vote for Vance. But
is he: .ctually safe? This paper
fears hat he is not,' and asks
the pt ople to take notice that
their representatives carry out
their instructions.
It ia a little remarkable that
Tho Progressive Farmer, Col.
Polk'i. paper, has renewed, its
attach on Vance, saying square
but tlxit it cannot and will hot
suppc rt Vance for re-election.
'The Alliance must abandon
this measure (sub-treasury bill)
or it must abandon him (Vance)
Vhaf answer will tho Alliance
of North Carolina make to .this
propc sition?" One who believes
in fair dealing and the honesty
and e olemnity of pledges must
view with sadness this whole
sale for Alliance members
to' bo
t instructions and pledges.
The .Uliance of North Carolina
exac ly understood Vance's po
sition on the Sub-Treasury bill
before they nominated candi
dates and instructed them, and
it decided in favor of Vance.
Now that the Alliance has al
ready decided for Vance the
Progressive Farmer again Tais
es the question and -advises
men bers elect to actually bolt
insti uctions. And yet , this
who esale bid to bolt the will
of tl e people, is called by the
Progressive Farmer "a high and
sacrpd duty." It is to be hoped
for 1 he sake of regard for hu
mar honesty, for f h'e good name
ofair beloved state, for the
wel: aro of our agricultural in
tere sts, that Col; Polk's ' organ
is re ckoning without its host;
that honesty in North Carolina
is nAt yet ready to comply with
a bi 1 for treachery and bolt
instructions.
jB it' who can tell? t Is : there
not some underground secret
org xnized effort after Vance's
scalp? Does not everything
point in the direction that there
has been an agreement that if
Ingalls' head came off, that
Vance's must likewise fpllow?
Col Polk has 'made a fight a
gai ist ingalis and scalped him
Die he not recieve aid on ; the
agreement that fVance should
cor ie do wn also? As the hopes
of lowning In qaljs increased

A recullor nxpressTacKa?e
We venture the' , assertion
that the one and only express
package of its kind and con
tents left the depot at this place
one morning last week. It was
nothing more nor less than a
regular genuine Wilkes' pos
sum, raised and nurtured and
'fotch up" right here among us
under the shadow of .its own
persimmon tree, which was se
curely boxed and labled for the
State of Maine. - It was sent off
by Mrs. Graves to some of her
friends in Maine. Shehadnev
er seen a Dossum till she came
to Wilkes. ,Tney don't raise
them ud there in Maine. She
likedi the conntehanc of the
'critter" so well that she sent
one to her friends. It will be a
great curiosity up there, and
they say that there will oe a
lot of money made by exhibit
ing his possumship to the as
tonished natives of Maine.
The possum left . the depot
seemingly in the best of spirits
with a fixed assurance implant
upon his countenance that he
would land, safely at his desti
nation where he could claim
more prominence and have a
better social recognition than
here in his own couhtry. His
face bore that exquisit smile of
contentment, tempered with
a sparkling glimmer of the hope
of future prominence in the
State of Bro. Reed;, of ! whose'
quorum he should be called to
be a part after vMarch ac

which says, "a possum is not

ize the fact that he was leaving
them perhaps forever, for none
of them was at tne depot to see
him saf ely off on the train. But
he did iiot seem, to mind it; the
hope of being one of Reeds

hope he shall realize his dreams
