our reach then can certainly secure the electoral strength of the empire state the man whose name will most read ily come to mind in answer to this question is samuel j 1 ilden the pa triul statesman the wise executive nsummate leader who has suf fered in uncomplaining silence the greatest wrong ever inflicted upon auy american by his countrymen if mr tilden were younger or had the nbvsical vijjor to undertake the her j lal us oi t he campaign no | other's name would be mentioned in ction with this nomination even as it is if he would only say the word the party would rally to pi it as one man

assurance of triumph is there another demo crat of this state who can unite the party in his support and whose a ; ili ty and integrity will commend him confi lence and arouse the en thusiasm of the party everywhere there is such a man and his name is ii i flower mr flower has lived in the midst o fact i ns but he has never be en identified with any of miem at the same time he would be zealou>lv

forces and the arguments have already begun just now the following arti cle from he new york ii orw is so timely and ao sensible that we trust all our readers will give it a careful and thoughtful perusal the world says : the real issue involved in the pres idential election is the continued ex istence of a republican government in fact as well as in form if a politi cal party having been in power near ly a quarter of a century can success fully set up a prescriptive right to hold possession of the government to exclusion of all others despite the will of the people we cannot claim to live under a real republic if elections by the people are overthrown by sub sequent fraud or are purchased by money raised through the vast power of the government over the wealthy corporations and monopolies it has wanned into life we are a republic only in name it our legislatures national and 8tate are purchased if our highest judicial tribunals are de bauched ; if our public officials are corrupt ami dishonest if the federal administration owes its existence to the money of exacting corporations whose bidding it is compelled to do we no longer have a government of the people it is the business of those who de sirc to restore the reality of republi can government to point out by what stealthy steps it has been destroyed or at least dangerously impaired it is necessary for those who would form an intelligent opinion of the danger threatening our free institutions to examine fairly and impartially the record republicanism has made in tho past will any one pretend that the insidious approach of the repub lican leader under grant to a dicta torship is not a lesson and warning when the federal bayonets were at the throat of popular liberty in lou isiana and the legislature of a sover eign state was dispersed by sheridan's troopers the advance of imperialism was checked by the protest of such republicans as william m evarui when a wreck less partisan proposed to clothe grant with arbitrary powers over the lives and liberties of the whole people even such a republican as james g blaine called a halt but in 18~(j nearly the entire repub lican party winked at the stealing of the presidency and win hi evarts was au active participant in the out rage in 1890 the leading men of the party were ready to do honor to ex sena'tor dorsey who had been the prime negotiator in its purchase and james g blaine took his share of the ill-gotten spoils bring up the past'of republican ism ! show how the grand old party has degenerated since lincoln stood at its head and when his mission was to protect the oppressed to raise the lowly , to guard and preserve the gov ernment of the people by the people and for the people point out how lincoln's generous treatment of the south and his desire to put a stop to sectional strife compare with the ef forts of john sherman and the re publican organs to revive the bitter ness and enmities of the war in this manner the people can best be arous ed to a sense of the dangers that now threaten free government the struggle in this campaign is for the life of the republic let us know if the people still rule and hav the power to select their own govern ment it is natural that ihe repubr lican organs should object to a review of their past acts but it is necessary to show by what steps we have reach ed our present condition in order to insure the overthrow of a party which has an army of more than one hun ored thousand dependents under its control and which can command the enormous wealth of the moneyed cor porations and monopolies it has built up to aid it in retaining its hold on power a giant slain — the biggest tree blown down in the late cyplone stood near the leak mill pond and within one hundred

keep a store and strive to have in that store everything a farmer would like to buy both for himself and his family we want our customer to be a cheerful man and if he has money in his purse he will be cheerful \ but he can't be if when lie conies to sell his crop it brings him little or nothing everybody knows that on the fertilizer he uses allowing the season to be at all favorable depends the result of his crop and this being the case he has no right to risk that crop on anything that has not been tried and proved the following will show what has been tried and proved in the fertilizer way on fine tobacco aad major raglaxd of halifax county a the great tobacco authority and grower of pedigree tobacco seed is the man who tells about it if anybody inovs what tobacco is he certainly does there are several brands of fertilizer manufactured specially for tobacco differing in composition price and merit and after repeated experiments with most if not all the best the author gives it as his decided opinion that for fine l>ri<j/tt silky tobacet othing equals the anchor^brand tobacco fertilizer prepared by the southern fertilizing company richmond na and this opinion is based upon seventeen years trial and often in competition with the best of other brands on the market it is a tried andproted fertilizer which the plant er can use without the risk of getting something unsuited to his crop and therefore f can recommed it with confidence messrs mathews & williamson of htmdsville n c wrote the following to the company and state that they have seen nothing since to change their judgment from our own personal experience and it covers a long time in watching the re sults from the use of various brands of commercial fertilizers handled in this section it is our mature judgment that the anchor bbans stands at the head of ail for the production ofjine tilky yellow tobacco the plant seems to receive more fitting nourishment from the use of this article than from any other and we are of opinion that if our farmers made it their stand-by we would hear less of light chaffy tob;icco having some color but no body and that the farmer would realize the result he ought to enjoy from his labor for low-grade tobacco will not bring big money now we want you to have big money for your crop because we not only desire you to make good bills with us but pay for them when they arc made hencp we han dle the anchor brgnd and will supply you in quantities to suit direct from the factory we don't want people to abuse us about their fertilizer we therefore sell only what time has shown to be the best so make no arrangements in this line until you see or confer with us you certainlv can't afford to take any risk this year j v gaskill cotton ! jpl^^blja i w h have this season in larger quantity than ever before the old reiia p 1 "" sea fowl guano for cotton it is a pleasure to sell this brand because it pleases and one fact worthy of notice is that it has increased in sales

them and we all know that they are good and successful farmers and especially raise tine large crops of cotton f"and to accommodate my friends and customers i will keep on hand a fullstock of t"flour
