The Democratic press of the State,
after beState convention had been
' beld,alid'a Democratic State tkket
. aKHpirfrajtad, . considered that it was
tisoe to begin tbe campaign and ac
eoriingly began with the central idea
fit good local government, explained
that the Democratic principles were
. practically those which the Populists
w to lift tbe party in 1992 and 1S94,
arsntedr and that they, the Populists,
who were really Democrats at heart
should return to their old love, and
work for the upbcildiDg of the Old
North State.
The Democrats, in convention, had
nominated a ticket that met the ap
proval of the party throughout the
the State, it bad the sincere and
hearty endorsement on ail sides, and
the spirit of Democracy Beemed to
take on new courage and hope.
There was a ring of success in the
newspaper editorials throughont the
State, and it only seemed a question
of waiting until November, to see
no Democratic ticket elected by a
handsome majority.
But within a few weeks, all this
seems in a fair way of being over
thrown! The Democratic Press that has
stood out against its political ene
mies, is required to lessen its fire
against tbe enemy, and seeks to re
pair the breaches within its own
works, made by its own people.
Democratio speakers, are also par
tially dumbfounded, and cannot
attempt and will not speak until
they can understand what they mast
advocate.
Tbe cause of all this uncertainty
is the proposal on the part of the
Democrat leaders to fuse with the
Populists on the electoral ticket.
It may be easy for those who hare
gone into this fusion movement to
see their way clear, but for the
Democratic press and speakers, who
have fought Populism for the past
four years, their position is decid
edly a hard one, leaving them to
either agree to the wishes of the
party leaders, thereby making their
previous denunciation of Populism
absurd, and their present advocacy
of fusion of non-effect, taking Into
consideration their past records, or
' if they stand ost against fusion, they
art denounced 4 not being good
they will not
of tbe party
leaders.
With this situation before them
thsrs is no wonder that prees and
speakers cease their political work.
There is np certain lino for them to
follow. The issue is apparently in tho
hands of the Populists, and Democ
racy stands shamefully by, while
awaiting the Populist verdict.
Can it be wondered at that the
Democratic press and party gpeakers
stands nervelessly by waiting for tho
result ?
And waiting, when they otiht to
bo boldly attacking every undemo
cratic measure and iue, and advo
cating nothing eicept it be, Dmoc
racv. WHAT WIU. BE GAINED 1
The object of fusion between the
Democrats and Populists on the
National ticket, of course must be
done with some political object in
view, or K would not have been pro
poied by the Democratic Executive
Committee.
But while a combination ticket,
composed of Democratic and Popu
list Electors might be arranged,
what could be gained, of advantage,
to the Democratio causo by fusing
with the Populists ?
Granting that the political com
bination is formed in good faith by
the leaders on both sides, how will
it be with the voters ?
Does any one think that even a
majority of the Democratic voters
could be forced to vote the fusion
ticket without scratching the names
of the Populists on it, or how many
Populists would vote the ticket
without scratching tho name of every
Democratic Elector ? Very few.
indeed.
With thiiJ condiion of political
fraternity (?) eiisting, each side
distrustful of the other, how vonld
the Democrats come in for any ad
vantage? None, whatever, bat rather
it would be against them, for the
fusion would discredit the party
politically, disgnst many of the
voters, make it more than possible
that Senator Buthjr would get in
some fine work, and practically muz
zles the Democratio press and speak
era, for they certainly could not up
hold fusion on the national ticket
and work against the Populist party
on the State ticket.
There tan be no sincere fusion be
tween the Democrats and Populists,
as political parties. There may be
county fusion, but as to any party
fusion, that cannot be, one party can
take down its name and melt into
the other party, but no political aL
liancescan be formed, which will bind
the party voter. The Executives
may plan together to fuse, but the
rank and file are not going to ba de
livered up without protest and that
protest will be felt at the ballot box.

We firmly believe that Bryan will
be elected without the aid of the
Populists, but as they are fighting
for the same cause as the Democrats,
why not have a united vote and
make his election sure. It is un
reasonable to believe that the Popu
lists are going to give up their
organization. They will not do it
any more than tho Democrats would

It is a laudable ambition that
Democrats all over the State have to
redeem North Carolina, but the
means ought to fit the end in
view. If we are to come into con
trol let it be with clean bands and a
title without a cloud on it. Then
we shall know it is really a Demo
cratic victory. Ashevillo Citizen.
The Democrats of Johnston

must come, let us meet it bravely

by the ticket. There is a chance
for success and if every true Demo

duty, the State will be saved without
any fusion on either electoral or
State tickets. Smithfield Herald.
"Jn this State the Democratic
executive committee has passed
resolutions which bear the appear
ance of a willingness to be fair and
reasonable. The real purpose, how
ever, is to try to make a proposition
which no self-respecting Populist
could entertain for a moment, and
then when such a proposition is in
dignantly rejected, to go before the
people and try to make it appear
that the Populists are not honest
because they rejected overtures
looking to co-operation, ic, &c.
There is not a Democrat iu the uni
verse smart enough to catch an ordi
nary ftorth Carolina Populist in
such a trap as this. And they are
Democrats, because

Those who insist upon substitu
ting Watson for Swall apparently
over look the fact that Mr. Watson
stands on a platform which is more
radical than the Democratic; that
he believes in economic measures
which a very large number of Dem
ocrats bitterly oppose; measures
which the Democratic party never
has endorsed, in adopting its free
silver platform it was expected that
the party would lose the. ultra-gold
standard men. To attempt to foist
now upon the party si man who is
an earnest advoeats of policies
which arc at variance with Demo

so many voters that instead of help

We are surprised that any candidate
should express himself as ready and
willing to step down and out to make
room for fusion. We expect it would
be well for him to do so anyway.

WhIiob'i Tobacco Letter.
The curing: of this year's crop will
soon be over and the next thing ii to
grade it," thus getting it ready for
market. A great deal of care must
be taken in doing this as it is so
important. Tobacco must be nicely
handled, and welj assorted. To do
this best, have it worked up at your
paokhouse so that you can see to it's
being done right.
Almost any one with good judg
ment can soon learn to grade to
bacco. In grading, select leaves
near the same size and color as pos
sible making from seven to ten
different grades and from eight to
twelve leaves in a bundle, After
grading and tying put on sticks
dressed neatly to prevent tbe tobacco
from tearing when taken otf, put
ting about thirty bundles to each
stick. '
Now lay these down in a square
pen, letting end of sticks just cross
each other and keeping the center
jost full of tobacco by laying stick
across. Always turn the head o
the bundle out. Wilson News.

Neuntorial Convention siti District.
The Senatorial Convention of the
Sth Senatorial District, met at tlie
Court House yesterdav.
The weather was line, and the at
tendance was fairly good. About
fifty delegates were present, there
being nearly thirty from other coun
ties, and about twenty from Craven.
The ( (invention wa.s called to or
der by Hoy. .las. A. Bryan, chair
man of the Kxeout j ve Committee.
Mr. Bryan addressed the conven
tion, lie said thai he thought the
issues in this campaign were the
most important since ti c war. In
his speech he Kiid':
"To me fellow citizens it seems
that the issues of this campaign are
the most important since the war.
In the campaign of si)u it was
Home Kule, and Freedom of slaves.
In this campaign is not only that
but also the Enslavement of the
whole laboring classes. (Applause.)
I don't believe nine men in ten,
or ninety-nine out of a hundred,
understand or have the slightest
conception of the real issue in this
campaign. ne set of men say
stick to gold, and declare that if a
change is made we will have ruin,
panic and anarchy. Another set of
men say unless you go to bimetal
ism the same will happen.
In my mind neither one of these
is the remedy or the cure of the op
pression which hangs over the coun
try like a pall.
The cause is the money power
which is oppressing the poor man.
Applause.
Tho only remedy is to curb the
money power.
The remedy is not the gold stand

organization of the whole monetary
system.'

The report was adopted.
Podolph Duffy, Esq., ascended
the platform to present the name of
Frank Thompson, of Onslow county.
He said that Mr. Thompson was a
man who came from the people, a
farmer, a man of education and one
who was well qualified in every way
to become the standard bearer. It
was a tine speech.
Mr. C. K. Thomas in a brilliant,
speech placed in nomination the
name of David L. Ward, Esq, Mr. J
Thomas sai l, 'Tlis name is David

David to slay the Goliath of Repub
licanism." These were the only nominations.
On motion of Mr. J.W. Biddle, of
Craven, Frank Thompson and D. L.
Ward were nominated by acclama
tion. Mr. D. L. Ward accepted the
nomination in a short but interest
ing speech. He said that some peo
ple had not read history right.
"History", said he, "does not say
that Jackson and Jefferson ever
stood antagonistic to the Democratic
party." He predicted 180,000 votes
for white supremacy in North Caro
lina. There were cries for Hon. F. M.
Simmons, and he ascended the plat
form amidst cheers.
He congratulated the convention
upon the excellent nominations
which had been made. He said he
thought that the Chicago platform
was the best platform that had been
made in years. He then spoke at
some length upon the financial
question. The illustrations which
he presented woro very simple, yet
grand in their simplicity and di
reotness. It was said by many, who
heard it, to be one of the best
speeches ever heard in New Berne
upon tho mcney question.

Bird Day In the Schools.
Mr. O, A. Babcock is superintendent
of the pu-blio schools of Oil City, Pa.
borne years ago this estimable gentle
man began the systematic instruction of
his pupils in ornithology. It was not so
much the hones and the anatomy and
Latin names of the birds he taught the
( young ones the necessity of sparing
them, that they might fulfill their mis
sion of being useful and ornamental.
The professor showed the young ones
how beautiful the birds were. He caused
them to listen to themusicof the feath
ered songsters. He taught them, too,
how much good the little creatures do
to man in destroying grubs and insects
injurious to fruit and crops. Finally he
taught them tho murderous cruelty of
robbing birds' nests and cutting off so
many bright and innocent little lives.
Professor Babcock instituted a "bird
day" in the schools for the purpose of
celebrating the beauty and use of man's
feathered friends. It was a great suc
cess, and bird day came to be as impor
tant and festive an occasion as Arbor
day. One may venture to hope, however,
that the good professor excluded the
filthy and pestiferous British sparrow
from the protection he taught the chil
dren to extend to other birds. This ugly
little brute drives away tho bright col
ored, musical, native American birds.
Besides that he destroys thousands of
bushels of grain and fruit for the farm
ers every year. He defiles houses, barns,
trees, shrubbery and vines. The cup of
his iniquity is full. If Professor Babcock
has not already done so, wc beg him to
rule this wretch out of the plan of bird
protection.
The work done in the Oil City schools
was so good that it attracted the notice
of the United States agricultural de
partment. Secretary of Agriculture J.
Sterling Morton has set the stamp of his
approval on bird day and written a
letter recommending its observance in
all the schools of the. Union.
Let us have a bird day by all means,
The moral, musical, affectional, artistic
and scientific instincts pf the human,
biped will all be cultivated at once by
4U observance. Pest of all, American
birds and their music will increase rap

solid silurian rock, when, lo, in a cavity
that perhaps a mahatma had hollowed
out on purpose for him 6,000,000 years
ago there reposed a healthy looking
toad. Here is the genuine Arkansaw
traveler. We are told that on first being
pulled out of his hole and shaken from
his Rip Van Winkle slumber his toad
ship showed little sign of life. No won
der. Presently, however, he winked one
eye, as if he appreciated the full humor
of the story which the enterprising and
truthful young newspaper man would
immediately telegraph over the country.
The latest invented rifle will hurl a
plain, common bullet 4,000 yards, near
ly four-fifths of a mile. If this thing
keeps on the experts will soon have to
devise a rifle that will shoot around the
curve of the earth's circumference so
the ball will not go off at a tangent.
If you make a contract for the pay
ment of a certain sum in gold, word it
in this way, "Payable in gold coin of
tho United States of the present stand
ard of weight and fineness. ' ' Then your
debtor cannot evade the contract in any
way.
Civilization is to be congratulated
that ornamental invalidism has gone
out of fashion.
