Jerry Simpson is called the sock- Ickh gtatenman, and now gorue one calls Sister Lease the “frockloss gtateamau ." Kansas ig turning out gome rare specimens of both soxes. Mrs. Leaso is a lawyer, so site announced in one of her North Car olina spoochoa. She says she practi ces in the higher and lower courts Probably her idea in travelling over the country with Weaver is to ‘‘get her fangs in” and make him uppoiut her Attorney General in his cabinet. Now that the State election is over, the Democrats "In uld set about to secure every advantage won and make the November election a great er triumph for the party of princi ple and good govermont. The com ing election is far more important than the one ju4 paßt. A cute little trick that is being practiced in New York state by Re publican heelers lias come to light. Smart talking and neatly dressed men are traveling from town to town, stopping at good holds and talking with ax many people as will listen to them. They pose as Hill Democrats, but anuounce tlrat they are going to vote for Harrison, and then go Into an elaborate aud olo quent explanation of the why and wherefore. The idea is to create the impression that the Doinouracy is losing and Republicanism gaining many votes on account of the reasons aikmnoed, thereby hoping to influ ence many weak-kneed Democrats who may be within earshot The Macon small boy who throw tho egg at Weaver, it seems, is des tined lo become famous. He has re ceived more press notices sineo the incident than Weaver himßolf receiv ed iu the aamo length of lime before his Miu'on visit. One peculiarity about the thing, however, is llio way the story gr >\vs ax it goes. At first j tho boy was spoken of as n few 1 thoughtless persons, then he became ' half a dozen intense Democratic par- ; ■ tisans, next twenty five or more row dies, and finally, as they comment on him in Pittsburg, ho is n howling Southern inob. lie will next bo bea' - d of, probably, as a body of white caps or a regiment ofku-k'ux. In tho meantime, in tho absence of advieos lo the contrary, it is believed the young fellow continues to ab sorb three men's a day ns usual. One of the most pitiful defeats in the history of any party is the com plete and final burial of the Third pa' ty in Florida. Tho Republicans at their slate couveution like tho Re- 1 publicans in Georgia, put out no Blate ticket,, thereby, leaving them free to vote as they might choose. Dennis Egan, chairman of tho State Republican Exoeuti ve Committee, issued a circular, ns Buck of Georgia did, advising all Republicans to sup support the Third party ticket, but tho intelligent and rospeclable color ed people of that state saw through his little game aud manfully support ed the Democratic nominees, who swept the state by an overwhelming majority. Mitchell, Democratic nom inee for Governor, received twenty thousand majority over the Third party nominee who only received between six and eight thousand' votes in tlie entire state. At the opening of the campaign tho Third party people, as usual claimed tlie slate by a big majority and as usual their oiairns were founded upon noth ing but so much wasted bleath. Let the good work go on. WHERE AM I AT 1 “Where Am I At!" is a ques tion that to lay is being asked by ev ery foot-sore and weary apostle of Third partyi-m throughout the great Democratic State of Georgia. Never before was there such a complete annihilation of one political party by another, ns that of the Third party by the Democrats on last Wednesday. Various lmve been the claims of the Third party in regard to their strength throughout the Slate. Soma claimed the stato by twenty-five thousand majority; others by thirty thousand and others still as high ns filiy thousand. But ns claims do not count for votes tbo Third party people were left, and lei t badly, as the returns from all over the State show beyond a doubt that tbo Stato has gone Democratic by a majority between sevety and eighty thousand. In fact, there is no Third party in the State outside of the Tenth Con gressional District, which is shown By the fact that outside of that Dis trict the Third party received n ma jority in one county only—Oconee, whicl. they carried by the immense majority of nine. In tlie Touth tlioy wore badly beaten and disappointed also, if they ever really belioved the District would be carried by Mr. Watson, tlieir nominee for Congress. From all indications tbo District bus gone Democratic by a majority ranging from fifteen hntriored to two thous and. Jenorson county which has been claimed by the Third pal ly by a thousand majority has gone Dem ocratic sixteen and Washing ton county which they claimed by fifteen hundred onlygavo three hun dred aud four majority for that tic- ot. Wilkinson and Hau- oock also give handsome Democratic majorities, while Richmond comes to the front with the handsome majori ty of three thousand five hundred. Lincoln, Columbia, Taliaferro, War ren and McDuffie give the Third par ty majorities, but all of theso will provo to bo quito small lf the election should be contested in each of these counties, aud the il legal votes thrown out. Taking everything into considera tion tho victory achieved on last Wednesday is the grandest in the history of the party in this Stato, aud the offorts of those who have labored fur and saved the honor of their State will bo fully repaid iu the enjoyment of the splendid elate govermont which wo hare heretofore enjoyed and which wo will ooutinuo to do so long as the Democratic par ly is in control, which will boas long ns Southern honor lives, and that is forever. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE. The Raleigh Stato Chronicle, says the Constat lit on, has it on good au thority that the editor of tho Pro gressive Farmer boasted that when Weaver spoke at Greensboro, N. C , there wore 500 pistols prepared to resent any insult offered him, and i that when Weaver spoke at Raleigh j there were 500 rifles ready for ue had he been insulted. The Chronicle naturally wants to know who carried the pistols and who had tho rifles ready- It says : Before General Weavor came to North Carolina, the Chronicle announced that when be did ooims be could feel assured of safety. Such announcement was made, and such assurance given, be cause we have no hesitation in testifying at all times to the law abiding character of the people of the slice. Now, when five huudml concealed pistols are car ried to a public speaking in free North Carolina, we demand to know at whose instigation this reflection was put upon our people? And when so many rifl s are bid oouvenieut for haudliog the weve inquiry is repeated with emphasis. Buell conduct will not be allowisl to pass unohallengtd hy the peaceful and law* abiding citizens of North Onroliua, Our people may differ on political quest ious,‘but the good citizens every where must feel an interest in promptly rebuking the preparations for armed vio lence we have indicated. General Wea ver oould live the balance of his days in North Carolina iu absolute safety, but no ouc can feel safe here long if tbeaeut uieut cultivated by the Progressive Fann er and its cowardly and sueukiug conn ler;-art, the Speciul Informer, gains the ascendency. We challenge the cause for rbe disparaging reflection upon Ihe law abiding oh vine or of North Carolina. This note of warning is a timely one and will be indorsed by all good citizens. The Democrats of the South would not harm a hair of Weaver's bead, ilis recent tour lias not provoked half the turbulence that attends an ordinary parliament ary election in England. Only a few weeks ago the venerablo Mr" Gladstone was struck in the face by a flying missile •, Henry M. Stanley and his wife were almost mobbed at a public meeting, and Mrs. Cornwal lis West was assaulted while elec" tioneering for her husband Gen. Weaver lias met nothing in the South to equal the violence habitually man Bested in British politics and the pre tense that ho is a persecuted man should be promptly exposed. Tlie most contemptible part of the business is Ihe willingness of some of this man’s followers to provoko violence by assuming a threatening attitude, as in North Carolina. Such public enemies should be sternly re buked, and our Raleigh contempora- ry is very properly running thorn to cover. Down this way we recognize the right of free speech, and no man will be harmed on account, ofliispolitical opinions. Pistols and rifles are not needed at. our public meetings, and those who encourage that, sort of thing should he held up to the scorn of their law-abiding neighbors, MoDUFFIE DEMOCRACY. The faithful and fearless Demo crats of McDuffie county are to he congratulated upon the splendid showing they have made in the elec tion just passed. At the beginning of the campaign llio prospects for a decent Demo cratic organization in the county was indoed gloomy, and when eight young men of ibis place met at tho courthouse to organize a young menu Democratic league the Third party poop e were really astounded at tlie very idea of such a thing being at tempted in tho county, whore they claimed at least ten to ono. Notwithstanding tlie fact that suc cess was apparently impossible, tlie \ outig Men’s Democratic League of McDuffie county was organized with eight names enrolled upon the books of the league. At tho expira tion of the first month its member ship had reached forty, at which time the Democratic Club of tho county was organized with which the Longue consolidated. Tho rosult of tho work douo by the Club was shown in the election last Wednesday when the county elected the Third party ticket hy on ly three hundred and eighty majori ty and it is cevtaian that at least two hundred nlid seventy-five of this number could bo thrown out should tho election be contested. With tho rosult of the work al ready done before us, there is no reason why the county should uot give a larger Democratic majority in November than was received by the Third party in tho past election. Let every Democrat begin at once with a determination to win. Every Democrat in the county should do his whole duty, and if such is done McDuffie will surely give a hand some Democratic majority in No vembe. McDuffie must go Demo cratic. WATSON ATTACKS CLEVEEAD- Congressman iVatsou, says the Augusta Evening News, goes deep er and deeper in his despicable at tack on prominent Democrats. At first he had nothing but good words for Mr. Black personally, but recent ly bo has actually been attacking his Democratic opponent and making charges against ft man the latchet of whose shoes he is uot worthy to loosen. And now he even dares to attack Grover Cleveland, and openly to bring a charge against him which no intelligent man believes and which Mr Watson knows to be false. And yet lie said in his speech in this city Saturday night that Grover Cleveland had refused to let his wife meet Miss Wiunie Davis, adding in a sneering way that Southern people could vote for such a man if they wanted to do it. Everybody knows the object of such a charge and such a report. It is to prejudice Jjuthern people against Cleveland but it hardly comes with grace from the mi- n who is openly championing the cause of Weaver, who is on record as a South hater and despoiler of our men and women. Mr. Cleveland has seen fit to an swer Mr. Watson’s charge, and in reply to inquiries says, “There is cot one iota of truth in it.” Tins is flat, and lie reiterates it in a letter to Hon. Clark Howell. Will Mr. Watson have the man hood now to retract! EVERYBODY WEARS SHOES’.
