The Wilson Advance. Entered in the Post Office at Wilson, N. C, as second class mail matter. WILSON, N. C, - - July 23, 1891. This Paper ?S week, and every week in the future, as it does this week, among other features, a bright, breezy, newsy, letter from Washington City, written spe cially for The Advance. We have contracted with the best, brightest and liveliest corres pondent in Washington for a regular weekly budget of live ly news and entertaining gos sip concerning North 'Caroli nians, from this great nation S capital. Read the letter mis week. Don't miss it. You should read it regularly, and now is the time to subscribe. Begin your subscription with next issue. You can't afford not to read the Isubucription ADVANCE. i.O 11 A'car. Grover Cleveland was Governor of New York two terms and President of the United States four years. He is now a millionaire. David Bennett Hill has been Gov ernor of New York for two terms. He has been in public life for ten years. He is not worth to-day ten thousand dollars. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. But look how easy it is to drive a man to drink! Ex. You are mistaken. A man can't be driven to drink. We believe the masses of the peo pie of North Carolina are opposed to the nomination of Grover Cleveland for President in 1892 and the politic cians in favor of it. Some of pur re spected contemporaries to the con trary notwithstanding. There is a boy in Centerville, Iowa, whose hair alwas curls a day or two before the arrival of a storm. When his barometric locks begin to kink the people in that neighborhood pre pare for rain. From another portion ot this same State of Iowa came the remarkable story last week of a man who dug a well from which milk spouted forth. Now we don't be live these stories. They aie the fabri tions of Redublican editors who want to get revenge because the State went Democratic in the last election. They are preparing a milky way, guarded by a human barometer, on which to float to victory next year. They should be headed off at once. IAVII KKNNETT HILL. No man in public life has been subjected to more unjust criticism than David B. Hill, the Governor of New York. He is really a states man of commanding ability, of spot less character, and of amazing per sonal force. His whole career proves that these things are true. No man, no mere political trickster, no cor rupt or venal politician, could have done what he has done. He is only at middle life, and he had no fortune or favorable circumstances to aid him. And yet he has beeen twice elected Governor of the Empire State and has been chosen to sit in the seat of Marcy and Saward. He is a brilliant orator, a sound lawyer, ahd his State papers show a wealth of learning and a clearness of thought and expression worthy of the great men whose mande he wears. St. Paul Globe. THE OHIO IJEMOCRATS. Last week the Democratic Conven tion of Ohio was. held. Gov. Cam bell was re-nominated on the first ballot and from now on he and Maj. McKinley will fight it out. The plat form, upon which Gov. Campbell and the Democrats ought to win, demands. Free coinage of silver and gold. ' A tariff for revenue for the needs of the Government and not for mo nopoly and protection of the money 1 ings. A graded income tax. A free lallot protected from corrup tion. An economical administration of the Government. Opposition to Tom Reedism and usurpation of authority. Opposition to the Force bill and all instrumentalities of tyranny and wrong doing. Liberal and just pensensions to de serving and disabled soldiers, and to widows and orphans of such a class. Sympathy with the oppressed Jews in Russia. Democrats cannot do less, as true as Democracy is of the essence ot liberty soul and civil liberty. - It is reported in the telegraphic dispatches that the Democratic edi tors of Kansas have combined to fight the Alliance and that they are about to start on a vigorous campaign. There are so many false rumors about that we doubt the truth of the statement. Besides if it is tin e that the Third Party is as strong in Kan sas as reported, the Democratic press would be guilty of equiquous folly to go with a fight against the Alliance in that State which has organized and made possible the Third Party. The great bulk of Alliancemen in Kansas arfe Republicans and if they endorse the Third Party movement and go into it to stay, the Democrats w-ill be able to carry the State a thing which will be possible only in the event that the Third Party draws, largely from the ranks of Republican Alliancemen. A right by Democratic editors would in all probability tend to drive these Third Partyites back into the Re publican party and thus deprive the Democrats of the only chance they hafe of carrying the State. And the union may have been started for the purpose of driving Democratic Alli ancemen into the Third Party. If so, we do not know what eftect it may have on Democrats in Kansas, but we believe it will have little effect on the Democrats in the South where we all recognize the importance of of sustaining the Democratic party and the dangers of division. Be sides in the South the farmers con stitute the bulk of the Demdcratic party, and with harmonious and temperate action by all classes com posing the party, the unnecessary re forms can be worked out, through the Democratic party, which is now strong, vigorous well organized while a new movement woufd be without these advantages and at the outset antagonize at least thje Democratic voters, and in all probability result in Republican victory. These consid erations are so important that they attract attention of all thoughtful citizens. (U K WASHINGTON LETTER. (SPECIAL COR. THE ADVANCE.) Washington, D. C, July 20th. Joseph P. Caldwell, Esq , Editor of the Landmark, the ablest edited weekly in the South without an ex ception in my opinion 1?jand that of a good many people) spent Sunday in this city. He was returning from the National Editoriaf Convention held at Minneapolis. He was a delegate from North Carolina. He says the sessions of the Conventions were pleasant and instructive, but found the climate of North Carolina, States vijle in particular, much to be prefer red to that of the northwest. Mr. Wilson of the Advance recently joked Mr. Caldwell about his age. I rather resented it at the time, but did not say much because I fiad not seen Joe Caldwell for some time, and could not "speak from the book." I do so now and forever, with pleasure and promptitude. Joe Caldwell is just as young as Mr. Wilson or any other "'spring chicken" "on the Press. He found long ago the famous Ponce de Leon fountain of perpetual youth. He is rather better looking than he used to be, arid, I judge he is good for fifty or sixty years more of influence and usefulness. He is as good a Democrat as ever, but has neither joined the Farmers' Alliance nor secured a gubernatorial, congres sional nor presidential bee to buzz in his hat, yet awhile. This latter con tingency may arise later for he says he may ride the Santer here next winter to hear a fine opera or good play at the theatre and then sell his steed to the new Zoo. This looks something like a bid for the votes of the darkeys in Iredell who were in mortal terror of the above mentioned "varmint" which is to be utilized as a riding horse, and afterwerds fenced in with the big menagerie Uncle Sam is getting up for the delectation of the nation. I am for him fqr any office he wants and 1 will stott being cor respondent for any paper in the State that does not advocate his candidacy for anything, with zeal, no matter ,how much I may need the money ! The Sunday Post devotes its leader to North Carolina politics in the fol lowing manner : "A meeting is to be held at Ashe- ville, N. C. next Wednesday for the purpase ol organizing a State pro tective tariff league, and the Greens boro North State expresses great confidence in its success. It is ex pected to become the nucleus of a bettor and more effective party or ganization. In connection with the 'reported intention of the Farmers' Alliance to put up a third party elec toral ticket in that State this move ment acquires more than ordinary significance. At the Presidential election of 188S, Mr. Harrison re ceived 134,784 votes and Mr. Cleve land carried the State by a majority of only about 13,000. Here is evi dently a good Republican founda tion to build upon, assuming, as reas onably may be done, that" the Alli ance draws for its support much more and largely JVom the Democratic than the Republican party. If North Carolina is. to enter the next cam paign, with her Democracy divided and her administration forces solid, the usual order of events is not un likely to be reversed and the electoral vote of the Old North State given by by a. plurality to the Republican party for the first time since 187 T. Such a result is at least not outside the range of possibilities. There is certainly danger in the air if the Farmers' Alliance managers can suc ceed in disrupting the Southern Democracy. The tenacity with which they cling to the sub-Treasury scheme, without entertaining the slightest expectation of its ever ma terializing is easily accounted for on the theory that in no other way can the Alliance be made a wedge for splitting the Democratic party in twain. On all other points the latter and the Alliance are .substantially agreed as to principles. On the obnoxious features of the Ocala plat form alone is there an apparently in surmountable wall between them. As between a movement that ' has the success of the Republican party for its object and the Democratic party only intent upon its own salvation there can be no sympathy. There remains, of course, considerable un certainty as to what stren&th a third party, with the sub-Treasury plan for its shibboleth, could command, or how large a Democratic diversion could thereby be brought about, but the Democrats of North Carolina will be in a dangerous predicament if they cannot practically hold their present organization as against conspirators from within and aggressive opppo nents from withoilt. The same is true of some other Southern States, and the national Democratic party has no Sothern votes to spare." Representative colored citizens held a meeting in Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, in accordance with a call issued by Rev. J. C. Price, D. D., commissioner-in-chief, colored de partment of the Southern Inter-state Exposition, to be held at Raleigh, N. C, in October and November. The meeting was to take place in regard to representation from the District of Columbia. J. W. Crom well presided and John H. Smith! was secretary. Rev. J. C. Price set forth the aims of the managers of the ex position. He appealed to his colored brothers, patriotism and arcc pride, and to his ambition to take his place among the great nations, not to allow the opportunity to pass to show the people of the United States and the nations of the earth what an Ameri can negro had accomplished in his one-quarter of a century of freedom. The colored people of the District were invited to go to Raleigh with their wares and the result of their in dustries and prove that they were worthy a place and a chance in the race of life. A. St. A. Smith, F. G. Barbadoes, J. W. Bowen, James Storum, and J. F. N. Wilkinson, a committee appointed for the purpose, presented resolutions which were adopted, highly approving of the plans laid out by Dr. Price. There are rumors of two changes in the Cabinet. John Wannamaker's "business cares" in Philadelphia threaten to demand so mnch of his time that he cannot afford to perform the duties of Postmaster-General any longer. In the lights of recent de veloping, and suspicions of what ought to have been developed, anent the late Keystone Bank, it will not take a Philadelphia lawyer to under stand why Harrison is ready and willing to place the portfolio of the Postoffice in other hands ! In this connection I will state that when "Pious John" was first rewarded for his vast contribution of money to the late campaign fund with a place in the Cabinet, he ordered a big, fine, gilt-embossed, sure enough portfolio to be made for his use. I saw it myself on the mantel of the Postmaster-General's room soon alter Harrison was inaugurated. It was a gprgenus affair, though men like Tracy and Blaine carry their papers in their pockets. "Pious John" Wannamaker decided he would carry the genuine article, and he did. I suppose he will beep it as a souvenir and make it a conspicuous piece of bric-a-brac in his home. In the light of recent developments I presume the Bethany Sunday School will also have something to say about contin uing "Honest John's" services. The other Cabinet vacancy re ferred to is the portfolio of the State Department. I have it direct from that department that this talk about Blaine's j "dangerous illness is .all bosh." Letters are constantly re ceived from Bar Harbor at the State Department and these represent the Secretary as being on the high road to renewed strength and health. In fact, the opinion among those who know him best is that he is getting in physical trim to enter the contest in nomination convention against Harri son and the field. The conservative Southern republicans are for Blaine. The wiser Northern republicans ad mit he is the ablest republican since Roscoe Conkling died. Harrison will make the fight with the force bill a high tariff, and an extreme financial policy as issues. Blaine's strong cards are his reciprocity scheme which is popular everywhere, and his unqualified opposition to the force bill. Harrison's friend's will have very great difficulty in killing Blaine off. While American manhood has no sympathy with a miserable whining, puling weakling who always has some ache or pain, it respects the statesman who, after injuring himself by hard work, takes proper precau tions to build himself up and all the time bravely declares there is nothing serious in the matter. We all know it would test the capabilities of a quack doctor to kill a man like that! Blaine (and what is worse Mrs Blaine) has been, mad with Harrison a long time. Blaine has wanted certain con suls appointed, and other matters ; at tended to pertaining directly to his department for months and Harri son has not acted on several of the recommendations of his perrier yet. Yet you may depend on this. I got it from the best authority. Plummer Cheatham went to Cape May, not to Bar Harbor last week to get Harrison toappoint John Smythe Minister Liberia. It is courtesy due Blaine that he should be consulted about this appointment. In fact he ought to make it. But Harrison wants the darkey vote. He wants to conciliate the anti-Harrison negroes in Indiana, and he has already sent his negro emissaries to the South. The most conspicuous of these are Blanche K. Bruce and Auditor Lynch, two prominent molattoes who are among the best known persons of their race. Fred Douglass is also back here on some errand perhaps of a similar nature. Bruce and Lynch report that the Southern negro is going with the G. O. P. as usual no matter what the standard bearers ! are, though they, for evident reasons, j pretend that Harrison leads in popu- ; larity. These Mulattoes have plenty 1 of sense to know on which side their ; bread is buttered. Fred Douglass j is equally experienced. Just now in fact since the Waterlooof last, fall cous- J in Ben has professed considerably af fection for our colored congressman! For all this, Smythe wont get the Liberian mission unless Cheatham makes it pretty plain to the executive I that the appointment will bring weight with it. Smythe used to live in Wil- J mington. He is as black as the ace ' of spades but always had enough re- J gard for the haut ton to speell his name Smythe. So Thinks President Livingston of the Georgia Alliance What he Regards as Issues Cleveland's Llkeness to Harrison. Atlanta, Ga., July 17. The Al liance leaders held forth at Hogans ville to-day. Gen. Weaver and Jerry Simpson spoke substantially as here tofore quoted. President Livingston, however, made a departure from the routine. "Our people have not aligned themsalves with any political party," said he. "I told you Gen. Weaver and Jerry Simpson did not come down here to talk third party, and they have not done so. They didn't come here to talk Democracy or Republicanism, and they haven't done it, either. There are some people who think every time you say anything that you are talking about I them, lhe Alliance, in or out 01 Georgia, is not talking about the Democratic or Republican party. There is- no third party. Gen. Weaver will tell you so." "I am disappointed," said Gen. Weaver, "they are all one way. "He says he did believe there was Coi.ivTngston, "bufit ' is not there, He firfds every man, woman, and child going the same road. "It is said that a guilty conscience needs no accuser, and when Alliance men stand up and talk straight Alli ance doctrine there is always some body to call it third party. "I am going; to make a prediction If neither the Democratic nor the Republican party fight the Alliance there will be no fight on our side against either one of them. I believe it as honestly as I do that I stand on this platform. "I have always been taught that the Democratic party is the party of the people, for the people, and by the people. I know one think about the Republican party. It came into existence in that line, and said to the Democratic party, which from time immemorial had stood on a platform of equal rights to all men and special privileges to none. 'You Democrats are hypocrites. There is one class you are denying these rights to, and it is the black man. We believe in equal rights to all, black or white.' On that they made their fight and won. "I want to say, once for all, about this third party business," said he, "that our people have not taken any position whatever. I am not author ized to do it as president of the State Alliance, and no other man in Geor gia is : but I want to say this, that ridicule ot opposition through politi cal leaders and political newspapers will do more, and has done more, to break up the Democratic party than any Alliance organizatioiv in this country. The Democratic party in Georgia since the war has had very little chance to do good for evil. Laughter. Simpson, "That's right." The issue to-day is not be tween the Democrats of the SouthJ but between Eastern protective tariff, single-standard money or gold bug, Democratic and the Republican par ties on one side, and the South and Northwest on the other." Here he stated that at Ocala every Western Alliance man voted for the resolution condemning the force bill. It was not the Democratic party but the North-western Republicans who defeated the force bill. "What," said he, "was Cleveland doing all that time ? Did he go to Washington and ask Congressmen to vote and work against the force bill ? No ; mum was the word with him. He was elected by mug wumps, and hoped to be re-elected by them; and that was the reason why he kept silent? When he could have helped Us he was silent, and when he could hurt us he wrote that silver letter. I'll tell you what I think of a Democrat in Georgia. A Democrat who could swallow Cleve land could swallow Harrison. What is the difference between Cleveland, Democrat, and Harrison, Republi can. Because Alliance people are fighting Cleveland you say1 they are fighting the Democratic party. There is not a word of truth in it." To the South.
