Mr. Shackelford'N Candidacy.
A correspondent of the Wilmington
Review goes for Hon. J. W. Shackelford
because of his card now in the papers
concerning the Congressional nomina
tion. He takes the ground that it was
no forlorn hope led by Mr. Shackelford
two years ago, for there was a clear
Democratic majority of 2,000 in the Dis
trict; and that there are a thousand
other Democrats in the District with
fully as much claim for preferment as
the sitting member.
That may a'.l be true, but it is a 'perti
nent question as to why it was that Mr.
Waddell (whom Wilmington is now
pressing for the nomination) was de
feated w ith this 2,000 majority r While
we think the chances are against Mr.
Shackelford's re-nomination he ought
to have the credit for succeeding where
his more brilliant competitor had failed.
If the Democrats of the 3d district
need votes to make their calling and
election sure, they ought to be careful
to nominate the best man to get those
votes. .
As to Mr. Shackelford's Kecking the
nomination, (for which he is twitted by
this same correspondent) he does no
tjiore than all other politicians in the
land. If a man expects to get office in
this age without seeking and asking for
it, he will find himself lost sight of in
the race. Whether it is more manly to
wire-work for it through friends and
paul employees, or to come out in the
public press and ask for it in person,
we do not decide. The fact remains
that he who does not work for impor
tant nominations will be sure to. never
get thein.

For lliu. Journal
Mr. Editor: I would suggest to the
city authorities or the post office de
partment or jNewiierne that a police
man be stationed at the post, office du
ring the delivery of the mails each and
every day, to avoid confusion as there
is a place prepared for the people to go
in on one side of the railing and come
out the other, it is evidently known bv
many who have been there for their
mails, that so many try to step in ahead
of others who are already there, bo-
cause they think their friends, will see
that they shall have their mail before it
comes their turn, and if a place is fixed
for that purpose why not carry .'out the
point of justice? I have been there
myself while others come in and ask
for their mail and rather than have any
angry words with the intruders lettheiu
alone. And I again say I would sug
gest that an ollicer be placed there dailv
to keep one side or the other of the
railing clear of tne intruders, who have
no business to go in ahead where they

To the Voter of the Third Congri'H
ftionnl filNtrict of North Carolina.
In reply to many enquires and letters
received, expressing a desire to know.
as to whether or not I am a candidate
for re-nomination. I decerned it proper
to reply in this public way.
Little more than two years ago, the
Democratic party, in convention in the
town of Fayetteville, tendered me the
nomination for Congress under circum
stances familiar to every voter in the
district. 1 accepted, and canvassed with
fear and trembling, because of the dis
organization of the 'party, caused by its
deteat in the lormer Congressional
struggle. After a ' heated and bitter
contest, with two political .opponents in
the field, with the aid of a united Dc
mocracy, victory again perched upon
our banner.
Tho 'nomination, was unsolicited by
me, a8 my friends all know. I have
not sought re-nomination, nor have I
requested my friends to influence Con
ventions or Executive Committees to
appoint Delegates in my behalf to the
Congressional Convention, and will not.
I don't believe in combinations and
trades. Let the people, uninfluenced,
nominate the man of their choice; vic
tory will then be ours. The people, not
rings, must control our Conventions, it
we expect our candidates to bear off the
flag of victory.
1 thank the voters of the District for
their encouragement and support given
me in the late contest. The thanks of
the Democracy of the State are due you
for redeeming the District, and perhaps
saving the party in the Old North State.
Two years ago at your bidding I led
a foidorii hope, with what success you
know. As to my candidacy for a seat
in the 45tli Congress, 1 leave that with
my friends, and shall be content to abide
their action.
Yours etc,; '
J. W. Shackelford."
