J AN OBSERVER LIE. The Observer, of the 9th inst., states that Col. Oliver II. Dockery was appointed by Gov. Holden, dur ing the Kirk war, a Brigadier Gen eral, to take part in the movement then inaugurated by Gov. Holden. Though the Observer does not say so in so many words, Mr. Ashe, by all the inferences which can be put upon his editorial in regard to the matter, RALEIGH, N. C., SEPT. 13, 188! p'e and for the peopl 'd: lst.ih>t the pe shail elect OLD ASHE AROUSED. •^*«**^£lt^^ leaves this inference, slander. It is a wilful This writer knows that Colonel Dockery was opposed to the. move" ment. He so expressed himself to Gov. Holden and his friends. He was a candidate for Congress, and when the movement was inaugurated, was on the campaign at appointments with A. M. Waddell, his opponent. When he saw the newspaper ans nouncement of his appointment as a Brigadier Geneial of the Militia of North Carolina, by Gov. Holden, at that time, without awaiting an offi cial notification he wrote to the Gov ernor a letter of declension, and was never commissioned. These are the plain facts, and if the editor of the Observer is a man, or a half of a true man, he will take back what he has said in regard to the matter. Col. Dockery is even less entitled to the military title the Observer would give him, than has Capt. Ashe to the Confederate appellation which his friends prefix to his name. Special Request. Secretaries of Cou ty Conventions are requested to send to this office, im- mediitely after the adjournment of their conventions: 1. The names of the Chairman and Secretary of County Executive Com mittees. 2. The names of Chairmen of Town- ship Executive Committees. 3. When nominations for members of the Legislature and county officers are made the names of such candidates. LOCAL AND STATE NEWS. New Registration in Wake. At a meeting of the Board of Com missiouers of Wake county, held on the 4th day of S ptember, 1882, it was ordered that there shall be an entirely new registration of the voters of Wake county. Registration books will be opened for the various townships, for the pre- in Ts of the townships, and for the wards of tae city, for the regisira tratiou of any e-ec ors residing in such townships, precincts or wards and en titled to registra'ion. The respective registrars will give notive of the places in their precincts at which they will [ sit,’ be ween the hours of sunrise and । sunset on each day (Sundays excepted) from the 3rd d ty of October to the 6th । their Justices of the Peace, County Commissioners, School Committeemen and all other focal officers. 2nd. We aie in favors of the voters of Anson county deciding by vote as to whether the Stock Law shall be continued or not. 3rd. We are in favor of a re vision of Road Law, so that the burden of keeping them up may be borne by ail equally. 4th. We are in favor of a literal system 4 public schools, and the passage of the bill now before Congress,introduce, I hy Senator Logan, to distribute annually the tax collected on distilled spirits for educational pur poses. It would give thousands of dollars annually to An-on county. If this bill is passed there would be no necessity for a State school tax. North Carolina being at the foot of the roll of States, in point of education, sue would ge a larger proportion than any other State. 5th. We are in favor of the repeal of the Prohibition Act, and opposed to any Sumptuary Laws! Such principles as the above we con ceive will commend themselves to the good judgment of a majority of the voters, and if carried out, will have a tendency to harmonize our people. 1 There will be some good speakers at the convention.

YOUNG MAN AFRAID OF HIS CHAL LENGE. Gov. as soon Jarvisin his letter promised as appointments over which he had control were made, he would inform Maj. Bledsoe, with the under standing that there was to be a joint discussion. The Governor made one appointment at Franklinton and no tified Maj. Bledsoe. We need hard ly say the Major was there. The Governor knows it. Since that time Governor Jarvis has been speaking nearly every day at appointments over which he had control. No notice has been sent to Maj. Bledsoe of these appointments. What is the matter? Has the Gov ernor had enough of Maj. Bledsoe or has he been told by his railroad bosses that joint discussions by him were injurious to their schemes ? We will say to Governor Jarvis that Maj. Bledsoe is still.ready, as ex pressed in his acceptance of Gov. ernor Jarvis’ challenge, to enlighten the people by joint discussion. And we ask the Governor why is he un willing to turn on the lights. New Polling Places in Wake. The following precincts have been altered or created by the Board of Commissioners of this county: W. H. Gullie’s, to be the polling- place in Oak Grove Township, instead of the place known as Oak Grove. Wm. Utley’s, to be the polling- place in Middle Creek Township, in stead of W. W. Johnson’s. The Eastern precinct of Raleigh Township, established, the voters in said precinct to vote at the Maas old place, near Camp Russell.

The precinct of Harris’ store, estab lished in Hou-e’s Creek Township, and all voters in said precinct to vote at the store of J. W. Ha ris, fork of Chapel Hill and Hillsboro roads. The polling-place heretofore located at Hayes’ store, in House’s Cre- k Township, changed to the store of J. T. Edwards, and all voters in said pre cinct to vote at Edwards’ store. A new precinct established in Bar- ton’s Creek Township, and all voters in said precinct to vote at Rogers’ store, the George W. Thompson old place. The voting place at Hutchinson’s store, in Barton’s Creek Township, to remain, and all voters in said precinct to vote at Hutchinson’s store.

In the handbills of the registrars, posted in every part of the county, the boundaries of the precincts established are correctly given. The following candidates are opposed to the present system of county gov- I eminent and are in favor of the elec tion of all officers —magistrates, &c.— by the people; a free ballot and a fail- count in all elections; the repeal of the Prohibition act; and a liberal system of public instruction. Our friends will please send to us, immediately after nominations, the full names of Coalition nominees, and no tify us of any errors in names of such candidates they may notice in this list: SENATE. 2^ Dist.— Martin, Washington, Tyr rell, Dare, Hyde, Beaufort and Pam lico—James T.

A very large number of the voters of Ashe assembled at Jefferson, on Monday,the 4th,’to hear Col. Dockery, at his regular appointment at that place, and before the speaking com menced, Tyre York, the Liberal nom inee for Congress from the 7th District against Robbins, arrived and took part in the discussion. By arrangement, Dr. York opened the discussion in an hour’s speech, and at his conclusion a young farmer from Yadkin, named Horton Bower, who preached prohibition last summer in Ashe, asked for an hour to reply, which was granted, and then Col. Dockery finished the speaking, con suming also about an hour. The speaking was listened to by a packed court house of people, with marked attention, and every indica tion pointed to the fact that so far as the people of Ashe are concerned, Bourbonism is doomed. Our friends in Ashe assure u that the^eounty will give the Liberal and Republican nom inees a handsome majority, and the utmost enthusiasm was manifested over the nomination of York, whose presence was greeted with loud and prolonged cheering. Dr. York opened his speech by al luding to the Prohibition crusade of last year. He gave ai^ccount of the beginning of the agitation of the sub ject in the Legislature ; of the flood of petitions which were poured in upon it with the signatures of men and women, the dead and the unknown, as well as the living, not only of this State, but even of rhe border counties of Tennessee and Virginia. That from the start he knew it was a fraud, and was one among the first to oppose any legislation upon it by the General As sem ly, and fought its advocates step by step until it had met defeat, but not its death, at the ballot box. He strove hard to make the leaders of the Democratic party, as the Republicans had done, set their faces and influence against it, but without avail, and he had the mortification to see those with whom he then acted, depart from an cient landmarks and in an eager thirst for more power, follow after strange the hour out with hardly any appro- cia'ion except from a cheerless-'cok ing little coterie of exclusive Bourbons in one corner. The young rooster, while demonstrating that he was a pretty good school house d c aimer, exhibited his ignorance of } o itics— State and national—and had v lently not even read the platform of in’s own party carefully. He made no points and got down pretty well exhausted. Dr. York only took^five .jinn es to demolish him, which he did in a most inimitable and effective style, amidst uproarous laughter, and then the youth took a back seat, a sadder look ing, and doubtless, a wi er man Col. Dockery closed the dicu sion in a calm, clear and forcible argument relating to the issues before the people, which was listened to with close at tention. Col. Dockery’s argumenta tive as well as interesting style quickly engag. s the attention of all thoughtful I people who are anxious to become en lightened regarding po itical measures and he always commands a patient and attentive hearing and in thi instance it was marked and the impression made apparent. He closed with ap plause in which the whole house seemed to participate. Old Ashe is all right. She will poll a heavy majority for the Liberal ticket, with Tyre York in the lead. G. shops of the prohibition bill, selected by subservient boards of commission ers. mere centres of influence to com mand power and influence over the people for their benefit. But this last effort of the oligarchy had opened the eyes of the people, and the agitation of that question had exposed the trickery and fraud of the Bourbon bosses, and from it had sprung the Lib oral party, to which.all opposers of the designs of the Bourbon leaders had flocked and joined hands to hurl them from power. He then went on and dis cussed the platform of the Liberal party, and the objects it had in view, I and exhorted all fair minded men in favor of good government, to enlist ‘ under its banner. He next alluded to ' the Bourbon cry of the oppression of the revenue system. He told the peo ple that the Democracy and Robbins did not want the revenue abolished. It was their stock in trade. Robbins was indebted to the negro and the reve- nue’for his seat in Congress, and the abuse of the revenue was his hope in the future. He told the peop e that when Robbins first went to Congress, the tax on whisky was only 70 cents per gallon, and while he was in Con gress it was increased to 90 cents; that when Robbins first went to Congress a federal revenue officer had to first ob tain a warrant before he could arrest Republican Convention in Johnston County. There will be a Convention of the Republican party of Johnston county, held in Smithfield, on Saturday, 16th day of September,- 1882, for the pur pose of selecting candidates for the General Assembly and for county offi cers. All Liberals, Independents and friends to good government and ma jority rule are respectfully invited to attend and participate in the selection of candidates. P. T. Massey, Chm’n Co. Rep. Ex. Com.

This would cut down the 7,000 Jarvis majority of 1880 to less than 1,000; but it is likely that of the 3,000 Liberals at least one-half did not vote for Jarvis; so that the Outlook is less threaten ing for the Democrats than migut otherwise appear. As for the “Pro hibition Republicans” we doubt if fifty of them fail to vote the Radical ticket. ’—Farmer and Mechanic. Our neighbor-in law needs an naught to the right of his figures, and his guess will be nearer the proper estimate of the Liberal party. With this amendment the majority counted for Jarvis will disappear and our readers can form some idea of the prospect of the result at the next election—105,000 colored votes, as the Bourbons make the figures— 37,000 white Republicansand 30,000 Liberals. That is about the size of the pill the Bourbons are expected to swallow in November. The votes counted for Jarvis was 121,827. The largest Democratic vote counted was for Vance, and that was less than 124,000. The election frauds and miscounting will hardly be attempted again. It is generally understood the officers of the United States Court are determined this Bourbon method of carrying elections shall be stopped; $1,50.0 is a costly luxury, too, for cheating at an election, and this being the first offence was lighter than it will be in the future. Then, too, the young men who are pre vailed on by the Bourbon bosses to do the dirty work, are permitted to foot the bill, while the beneficiaries of their work sit back and enjoy the luxury of a good office. Bryant and Bell, of Halifax, know how this is, and will not be lead into it again at the command of the party bosses. It is the same old lesson taught by the Kuklux, neighbor, when the officers sneaked out, backed out, or lied out, and left the young men, privates, they had lead into the order to pay the penally.

He allied himself with the Anti-Prohibiionists in the campaign of last summer, and unassiste 1 by any of the leaders of the Democratic party, had fought the measure wherever his voice could he heard, and in that en counter found himself face to face, op posing leaders of his own party. They either were blatant advocates of the iniquity, its apologists, or were too cowardly to come out and show their hand. He said he had no faith in those who, scarce twelve months ago, so zealously favored the iniquity, but now pretended to be converted. It was too thin. They were either hypocrite or liars. If’they were ac tuated by principle, as they pretended last summer, they could not be ac tuated by principle now, for princi ples never die, and taking their fanati cal zeal in the prohibitory cause as an earnest one, their present attitude placed those who assumed to have changed their coats on the question as one pitiable to behold.

On Dockery’s arrival at this place 12 m., to-day, he found Colonel I. J. at From Watauga County. Shuul’s Mills, N. C., Sept. 4, ’82. According to Hon. 0. H. Dockery’s appointment we bad the pleasure of hearing him speak at Boone court house on Saturday the 2nd day of this inst. He being unwell the day before was a little late getting to Boone on the day of his appointment, but was tuere in time, although dinner was hurried up at the Bourbon hotel for Hon, Wm. M. Robbins, and he rushed to the court bouse and began to speak before Dockery had arrive !. When Dockery come in Robbins began to tremble as any man or even an animal will do when they are penned, and especially when they know they are in the wrong pen, as Bobbins knows be is. It is a matter of course he is con vinced of the fact, but hesitates to give it up, as many more of the Bourbons do. We do not want any more trace chain men elected to office, nor we do intend to have. The speech of Mr Dockery was an excellent one. It without a doubt did a great deal of good, and was heard by many. A large number was out to hear him, and his speech was one to be remembered in days to come Several Democrats have de clared that they will vote for Dockery. They say give them liberty or give them death ; that they will not vote for any such county government as we now nave. The Republican party is getting stronger in Watauga every day. We will show them next election all about where they stand. Several of our Democrats have said already they will not go to the polls at all. We have been lied out of our votes long enough; we know what to think when we hear a Bourbon speak; we know how they have lied, and we have no assurance of their works being any b tter, but maybe worse than ever. So we stand to day in Watauga more than united, but Democrats are to some extent divided, and we will get several votes we never expected to get by Dockery’s speech. It has opened their eyes, on the subject. We have now what has been long needed—that was matters explained in full as Dockery did, because he was able to do it. C. “Col. Dockery is still the nominee of the Anti-Prohibitionists, and, if elected, it will be proclaimed through out the nation that Prohibition has again been defeated'’’—Raleigh Prohi bition-Democratic organ. And if €ol. Dockery should be de feated it will be proclaimed through out the nation that Prohibition has at length triumphed, eh? Well, we ac cept the L-sue, and now, freemen of North Carolina, one more charge upon the drunken-craze fanatic. Up, boys, and at them !—State Journal. was only scotched, not killed. Else where, all over the United States, it could be seen that thoy'were gradually moving upon the rights of the people, and that whenever an opportunity again offered they would make another effort in this State. Even in national legislation, the matter was beginning to be advocated, petitions had already began to be piled in upon the two houses, and an appropriation of $10,000 of the people’s money contri buted to furnish argument and data for the fanatics to work on. It there fore behooved the people to look well to their rights, and as this question was becoming a national one, the Anti-Prohibitionisis of North Carolina should see that none but their tiied friends were sent to represent them in the halls of Congress. He said that holding these views in consonance with the Liberal party, and observing that their platform was based upon the broad principle O' equal justice and the rights of the people—an old and cherished princi ple of democracy, which i s leaders had departed from—he was willing to join ham's with it in the vindication of those rights. He believed it was the coming party of the future and from now on, as long as they adhered tv this grand principle he would be fo und fighting its battles. He said he had in the past opposed the election of mag istrates by the people because of rep resentations made by leading men re- ga ding the state of affairsi the Ea t; but the time and need for a departure from the piinciple that all rights should be vested in the people had gone by, and it was conceded by lead ing Eastern men with whom he had hitherto acted, that there w«s no ex cuse whatever for a longer departure from old landmarks He therefore heartily endorsed the Liberal platform in every particular. He alluded to the tariff and by an array of facts and fig ures, in a terse and convincing man ner, proved that there was need of protection to our home industries. Upon the question of internal revenue, he stated that he was in fav r of the abolishment of the whole system; and if that was impracticable, it must be modified aa,^ rendered less objection- able and oppressive to the people, and the proceeds applied, to the bducatioh of the people. Robbins, he said, pre tended to wish to abolish or modify the revenue, but it was a remarkable fact that when Robbins first went to Congress the tax on distilled spirits was only 70 cents and when he left Congres- it had mawledup to 90 cents per gallon. This was repeal with a vengeance. He closed by stating that he was then on his way to Maj. Rob bins appointment, and if he came to time, would meet him at Elk Cross Roads the next day. [Bobbins skipped his appointment. Did not fill it, but went to Sparta in stead,] We have not attempted to give any thing like an accurate report of the leading points in Dr. York’s speech, but merely a hurried outline. It was interspersed with numerous and sug gestive anecdotes, which were greeted with roars of laughter and applause. On the conclusion of Dr. York’s speech, the first intimation then was given that the invitation extended be fore the speaking commenced to any Democrat to join in the discussion was taken advantage of. A gentleman arose and stated that Mr. Horton Bower, of Yadkin, desired to speak. It was agreed that he should follow 1 Dr. York. He declaimed and sweated Young awaiting him, he having arrived the night previous, and steps were at once taken to arrange the preliminaries to the discus-ion. Robbins, the Bourbon candidate for Congress,had posted handbills through out the country giving notice of the days he would appear and address the people. His advertised day for Sparta was on Monday, and he appeared, and had a field-day to himself. He was to be at Elk X Roads to-day, and thither Dr. Tyre York, the Liberal candidate, had gone to meet him, but instead of of filling his appointment, Robbins re- , mained in Sparta, and had intimated that he wished to join in the discus sion, but it was after two o’clock be fore he made his appearance at the couit-house, where an expectant crowd of about one hundred and fifty country people were in waiting. He was finally sent for, and after a parley, it was agreed that each speaker should con sume 45 minutes, Young to lead off, Robbins and Dockery following, and that the two last should each have 15 minutes rejoinder. The town Democracy, who are in a large majority, and the boys from a neighboring school appeared in force and had been drilled to “do him the clap” and cheer for Robbins. Several ladies also made their appearanee, and remained during Col Young’s and Maj. Robbins’ speeches, but L et when Col Dockery arose to speak, as did also the larger portion of the drilled body of men and, boys from the town. These latter returned to hear Robbins’ re joinder and retied again when he finished. This was the first time in al! this mountain country, where this con temptible and cowardly artifice has been adopted by the Bourbons since Dockery has been in the campaign. The country people, with better man ners, patiently remained and heard the speaking through, and Young and Dockery evidently made a good impres sion, and won supporters to the Lib eral cause. Colonel Young began his speech by analyzing the principles of the parties who are now contending for supremacy in this State. He affirmed that the Democratic party of fixed principles which took such high rank in the past, had become disrupted, and that now that organization had the old name only, and could not be recognized by its principles. He then proceeded to enumerate various departures from ancient landmarks, which had been made through the ambition and selfish ness of designing leaders, and dwelt strongly upon the position it had as sumed in the late prohibition campaign, and its present attitude upon the ques tion of county government. He showed that the hypocritical cry of negro domi nation in the east was a fraud perpe trated with the single purpose of avow ing caste prejudice against a race of people who as slaves, had commanded the love and esteem of their masters, and as new-made freemen had exhibi ted such a conservative moderation and good behavior as to command the admiration of the civilizad world. This demagoguical cry. however, had been heeded, and it had enabled the leaders of the Democratic party to attain power, and with that power in their hands, fraudulently obtained, they had set to work to render their power per petual. Thte it' was that they had wrested from the people the right to elect their magistrates, and had adop ted a machinery of government which set at naught the old slogan of democ racy that “the majority should gov ern,” and by unfair methods in the se lection of local officers, poll holders and returning boards, flattered them selves that the sceptre they held was secure for all time. The prohibition measure was simply a species of engi neering to the same end, as it was the intention of the Bourbon leaders to make the non-tax apothecary dram ¬ an alleged distiller, but that Robbins voted to give that officer power to ar rest without a warrant; that when Rob bins first went to Congress, the de struction of stills was forbidden, but that Robbins voted to give authority to the raider to destroy t ie poor man’s still and preserve the stills of the wealthy. And that all this time Rob bins was cursing the revenue to the people, while he was voting to give it more power. This was done, simply that he might obtain capital to use in his re-election. His arrant hypocrisy was shown when he would vote for all these increased powers to the revenue, and at the same time introduce a bill to abolish the revenue which he knew would never be acted on. He said the time had come when the revenue sys tem should be abolished or modified. But the Democracy would never do either. He favored devoting the tax no distilled spirits to educational uses, and that the Liberal party alone favored this course. Col. Young al luded to the special tax bonds. He told how they were issued and who got them—that Democrats got 90 per cent, of the steal, and their theft was com pounded by a Deni cratic Legislature for six cents in the dollar, while the Republicans, who obtained only 10 per cent., languished in prison, died in jail or were outlaws and refugees from justice. Under the very dome of the capitol the Democratic compounder lived in luxury and affluence, and was a living example of Democratic methods under the leadership of the bosses, who built veritable Chinese walls around their offending and ras cally friends, while it was notorious that all Republicans joined with the people in denouncing and punishing Republicans, however high and exalted their station, who proved unworthy and untrue to the sacred trusts reposed in them. Col. Young stated that as a Republican he was willing to shake hands and link shields with the 40,000 Democrats of North Carolina, who had vetoed the insidious and evil inten tions of the Bourbon leaders, and abandon past differences to vindicate the right of the majority to rule, to se cure local self-government, the protec tion of home industties and the. edu cation of the people. This is hardly an outline of his speech. It was ably and eloquently de livered, received frequent applause even from the hide-bound, and was well received. Robbins then made one of his charac teristic speeches. It was nothing more than a tirade of abuse against the reve nue and vindictive slings at the Liberal party. It was disconnected and unar- gumentative, and though lustily cheered by his drilled squad of applauders, con sisted mainly of wild gesticulation, sound and tremendous fury. Col. Dockery then took the stand, and in a calm and dispassionate man ner, without any eff. rt to draw alaugh, discussed the issues of the day to an audience of about one hundred and fifty country people, who seemed to drink in his words, and without doubt fastened conviction upon a good many minds The rejoinders were without interest of note. Our friends in Alleghany are organ ized, and assure us that they will give a good report on the day of election, and my own knowledge of the election is such that everything is working satis factorily.

GHIO, Supt. of Transportation. Trap Hill, Wilkes Co., Sept. 6. Dockery and Young spoke to a crowd of about two hundred citizens here to-day. But this made no deeper impression than existed. This whole people are of only one way of thinking. They are nearly a unit for Dockery, York and the Liberal ticket. It is a veritable political wave in this locali y, and a majority of 1,200 is confidently predicted for our ticket in Wilkes. FREE The following Pamphlet issued Club of London: TRADE. extract is from a by the Free-Trade “Let it be understood once for all that the salvation of England depends upon the destruction of American manufac tures, and that the only possible way in which American m inufactures can be destroyed is by Free Trade. This can only come tnrough Democracy, and Democracy can only secure con trol of this Republic by the votes of Irishmen. How England must laugh in her sleeve as she sees the men who left their homes vowing vengeance serve her interests by working for a party which, if it gets control of the country, will inevitably carry out the policy she most desires.” Being at Plymouth on Thursday we had the pleasure of hearing Major Charles Price, of Salisbury, the leading Liberal orator of the State, on the issues of the campaign. In a clear, cogent, dignified, argumentative and unan swerable speech of two hours, he gave some of the reasons why he could no longer co-operate with the Bourbon Democratic party, and why the State government should be taken from it. His arraignment of the party was ter rible, and it was the more so became every particular count in his long bil’ of indictment was fearfully true. There was no demagoguery, no clap- trap, no vituperation in any part of h’s speech, but it was manly, able and at times really eloquent. It was one of the best political efforts wv have heard for years. We are glad to able to an nounce that Maj. Price will make sev eral speeches on this side of the Sound, during the month of October.—Eliza beth City Carolinian.
