There is an effort on foot to make Senator Stewart, of Nevada, the candidate of the Peoples party at Omaha, with Congressman Watson, of Georgia his running mate.

The Republican Convention re nominated Benjamin Harrison for President. He had the support of every officer holder of his administra tion, and the "bread and butter bri- gaue won. lie is .1 hard man to beat, but the nomination of Mr. Whitelaw Reid will add no strength to the ticket. With the right man nominated at Chicago the Democracy is sure of winning. But we must not have an unseemly scramble. The strongest man must be nominated. I nil IMIK1W1ANU IT? The silver plank agreed on at In dianapolis reads : "The American people are by tra dition and interest in favor of bi metallic coinage of gold and silver, but one dollar should be as good. as another dollar ; that silver should be coined at a ratio to be fixed by legis letion, and that the forthcoming in ternational conference is indorsed as probably furnishing a satisfactory so lution of this vexed question of finan cial relations." This is the utterance of the great Republican party on the financial question. Can you look to it for any hope of relief? THE FORCE KILL XOI DEAD. Every mention of the Force Bill at Minneapolis evoked hearty cheers. It is an issue still. Harrison and Reid represent such an issue. The platform of their party demands it. Here are the sibilant words they hurl at the white men of the South: "We demand that every citizen of the United States sliall be allowed to cast one free and unrestricted ballot in all public elections, and that such ballot shall be counted and returned as cast; that such laws shall be enacted and enforced as will secure to every citizen, be he rich or poor, native or foreign born, white or black, this sovereign right guaranteed by the constitution. i'The free and honest popular bal lot, the (just and equal representation of all people, as well as just and equal protection under the laws, are the foundation, oi our republican in stitutions, and the party will never relent its efforts until the integrity of the ballot and purity of elections shall be fully guaranteed and pro tected in every state.

He was a 11 r nr brilliant leader, a rare organizer, and possessed the unbounded confidence of his followers. It is not for us to question his motives. His place in North Carolina cannot be filled, and he will be missed by tiiose who looked to him for guidance in a way that will leave them "all at sea."

It would be uncandid not to say that we have felt that Col. Polk's great influence was not being exerted for the best interests our peo ple, but it is not for us to speak of his motives.

Ol'K WASHINGTON LETTISH. Oeath of Co!. L. L. Polk The Kemaius Left forKaleigh last Night Work of the Minneapolis Convention Why Blaine Threw his Resignation in the Face of the President Whitelaw Keid Vice Presi dent Morton Wounded Personals. (SPECIAL COR. THE ADVANCE.) Washington, June 12th, '92. Col. L. L. Polk, President of the Farmers' Alliance, died Saturday morning at 11:15 at the Garfield Hospital, where he was removed Fri day afternoon from his residence, 717,12th street. The direct cause of his death was uremia poisoning. He had for a long time suffered from 11 11 . i-i .1 ,1 : 1 u A uiaucier trouoie, uui me uisuiuct uan never affected him seriously until last Sunday, when he was obliged to summon a physician, Dr. J. M. Hays. He grew rapidly worse and on Wednesday it was feared he could not recover. The following day he rallied to such an extent that Dr. Hays felt justified in issuing a bul letin stating that he was expected to recover. The change for the better was a brief one. It was finally de termined to remove him to Garfield Hospital and perform an operation. After his arrival at the hospital the physician in charge. Dr. Leach, saw the case -was hopeless and that an operation could accomplish no results. Col., Polk sank rapidly, and the end came quickly Saturday morning. Mrs. Polk, Mr. Denmark, Dr. Hays and Dr. Leach were with him. Dr McLune ol the National Economist immediately took charge of the fun eral arrangements and the remains left here at teit o'clock last night. number of Congressmen including Messrs. Williams, Branch, and A. H. A. Williams went with the body to Raleigh where the interment will be. During his sick ness Col. Polk was the recipient of a great deal of attention from the mem bers of our delegation, North Caro linians residing here and a large number of prominent people in the city. Members of the Farmers' Al liance express deep regret at his untimely demise. The result of the Minneapolis Con vention was something of a surprise to the majority of people here though you can hear "I told you so" from a great many would-be prophets who were betting heavily on Blaine's suc cess. Harrison and Reid owe their nomination to a strange medley of circumstances. Blaine's pyrotechnic performances helped, rather than in jured Harrison. His resignation, thrown as it were in the face of the President, looked too much like treachery to secure the endorsement of the more honest Republicans. Coming as it did after the ex Secre tary's letter of declination, it looked very badly. Blaine's ambition, how ever, was not alone at the bottom of this sudden resignation. Mrs. Blaine has for years been at cross purposes with the Harrisons as well as a num ber of other prominent people. She is a very imperious woman and likes to have her own way. The Secretary was hi a humor to listen to her and to be guided by her on this occasion. Here is how it came about. Soon after Blaine took charge of the State Department Mr. Harrison appointed a man named Stanton a protege of Blaine's to a foreig n consulate. This was done at the Secretary's personal request. Since that tune Mr. Harri son has paid little or no attention to any oi Blaine's recommendations to foreign appointments. Blaine natur u rally wanted to exercise his own rights as Secretary of State and put his own tnends N in the offices at his disposal. Mr. Harrison thwarted him m every instance except the one mentioned above. 1 he Secretary ol State became very restive under this treatment and a year and a half ago discontinued his custom of filling the appointments. He then set to work to add to the national reputation of James G. Blaine as a diplomat. He worked hard over the Behring Sea matter, the Italian and Chilian un- pleasantness and the reciprocity Scheme, which really anv originated with lSiame. arrison detected his plans and deliberately thwarte every one of them. He managed to get the credit lor the settlement of the Chi! ian and Italian imbroglios, for the Behring Sea matter and the reciproc ity idea ! Foiled at every turn, broken by the death of two of his favorite children, Blaine's health failed. Rest and ocean breezes seemed to give him a new lease on life as the time for the convention approached, and in spite of his letter declining tlie nomination he nourish ed a hope that his party would nomi nate him at Minneapolis. He did not intend to resign his office of Sec retary ot btate and for this purpose wrote the letter declin ing to become an active candidate in the field against his chief. His friends and managers knew exactly what the letter meant. A short time ago, however, there was an appointment to be made in the army, of brigadier general. Blaine has a son-in-law, Col. Coppingei;, of the army, who married his oldest and favorite daughter. Mrs. Coppinger died about two years ago, and left her two little boys to Blaine's care. She closely resembled Mr. Blaine and he has become very warm ly attached to her husband and little sons. Mrs. Blaine was determined that Col. Coppinger should be made brigadier-general Coppinger if it was in the Secretary's power to effect it. She urged it on the President and the Secretary and ignored the fact that it -was not customary to promote ajunior orncer over the head of his superior. Harrison was glad of an excuse back- rA L.. . 1 , . I 1 .1 uy pieceuent, to ueciine the re quest. Col. Coppinger remains Col. Coppinger, and Mrs. Blaine has been very angry ever since the appoint ment was given to the army officer who came in the direct line of pro motion. This is the immediate cause of Blaine' sudden resignation. What his luture will be no one can predict. It is a matter of regret, even among his enemies, that the career of a man who has done so much for his party should come to so unenviable a con clusion. It is scarcely possible, how ever, that Blaine's career is ended. Men like him do not cease to aspire until the final and inevitable end comes. The nomination of Whitelaw Reid to be Vice President was brought about by Mr. Harrison himself. What his reasons were for snubbing Vice President Morton have not yet trans pired. One thing is certain. Mr. Mor ton is deeply wounded at the treat ment he has received at the hands of his party. He called on the President yesterday and Mrs. Morton tele graphed her congratulations to Mr. Reid. But this was done for effect. Mr. Morton has not deserved this treatment at the hands ol Mr. Harri son. When he was elected he bought a hundred thousand dollar house here, put twenty thousand dollars worth improvements on it, furnished it in princely style and has entertain ed the friends of the Administration most lavishly. He has presided over the Senate in a very dignified and satisfactory way and fullfilled all the obligations incumbent on him. Per haps Mr. Harrison found out that Whitelaw Reid's rich father-in-law would spend more money on the campaign, or perhaps he wanted to conciliate the press, a power whose influence Benjamin Harrison has always been shrewd enough to ac knowledge. There is one consola tion in the nomination of Harrison ; he Is above party prejudice. It has done a great deal to destroy the power of the Quays, the Clarksons, the Mahones, and the other would-be bosses in the country. It has been known here for some time Quay, Clarkson, Mahone and others ol that stripe encouraged Blaine and every other strong dark horse in the hope of defeating Harrison's nomination. Such Democrats as Senator Ransom, William L. Wilson, Henry G. Turner and John S. Henderson seem to think that the nomination is about as good a one as could be made for the Democrats. It is said that it has increased Cleveland's chances ol nomination at Chicago by fifty per cent. At the recent commencement at Annapolis Homer Lenoir Ferguson of Col. Cowles' district graduated second in his class and will soon start on his two years cruise around the world. George Mallison of Mn Branch's district graduated twenty five in the same class. The compa ny commanded by Mr. Ferguson at the Naval Academy received the prize banner for being the best drill ed company in the battalion of cadets. This young man deserves a great deal of credit for the high standing he took at the Naval Academy. Commander Samson who was Super intendent when he entered told me that he was badly prepared for the entrance examination and that he owed his high rank solely to his faith ful attention to his duty and con scientious systematic work. There will be several vacancies to be filled at the Naval Academy from North Carolina next September. A distinguished North Carolinian expressed both regret and astonish ment to me because our young men do not avail themselves of the free scholarships offered them by Johns Hopkins university, Baltimore. By the terms ol Johns Hopkins' will North Carolina is allowed ten schol arships. The honorary scholarships, several of which are now vacant in clude free tutorship and two hundred dollars in money. As Dr. Kings bury truthfully says, "Johns Hopkins University is first among the fore most," and I cannot see how our young men can fail to avail them selves of the advantages here offer ed to them. If there is one among your readers who wants to contest for one of the scholarships I will be glad to furnish him any information on the subject. Hon. I. I. Yeates, ex-member of Congress from 1st North Carolina District, is very ill here. He has Bright's disease and cannot recover. Washington, June 13. The Congressional party who went with the remains of Col. Polk to Ral eigh returned this a. m. The Labor Union throughout the country are getting up a manifesto in opposition to the candidacy of White law Reid. He once ran a "rat" office for many years. I hear from the State Department tms morning tnat Marnson never signed the appointment of Walker Blaine, the ex-Secretary's oldest son, to be Solicitor of the State Depart ment. This was doubtless another casus belli between the distinguished rivals. ANOTHER LETTEK. (FROM another correspondent.) Washington, June 13, 1892. The Democratic smile is a very broad one these days, as it has every reason to be. Democratic prospects were never brighter, and nothing but the making of a gigantic mistake by the Chicago convention, and there exists no reason for anticipating any thing of that sort, can prevent the Democrats naming the next Presi dent of the United States. The Minneapolis convention could not possibly have done more to please the Democrats than it did do. It made the infamous force bill a part of its platform ; it nominated the champion of that measure for Presi dent, and, as if the Democratic cup of joy were not already overflowing it nominated Whitelaw Reid for Vice President. Mr. Harrison is acknowledged to be weak in States which the Republicans must carry to win ; but Whitelaw Reid is weak evervwhere. He has for many vears made war in his paper the New York Tribune on all organized labor, and particularly upon the typographical Union, a fact which will not be forgotten or forgiven because he, for the purpose of getting him self on ticket, allowed the Union printers to take charge of his1 office until after the election. The files of his paper will furnish reasons enough to prevent any friends of organized labor casting a vote for the ticket which carries his name. Mr. Reid has another element of weakness that will neither be lost sight of nor forgiven by the old "stalwart" element in the Republican party. Some of the most bitter attacks ever made upon Grant were written by Reid during the Greeley campaign when he was supporting the Democratic national ticket. The Grant men never forgive those who attacked their idol, as one James G. Blaine could testify to if so disposed, and it is certain that many thousands of them will refuse to vote the ticket of their party because Reid's name is on it. A weaker ticket than Har rison and Reid could not have been named. The return of the Republican bosses who went to Minneapolis to "down" Harrison, was much quieter than their departure from Washington; but, notwithstanding professed inten tions of support, they are still bent upon "downing" him, and this time they will succeed, as the contest will be before a tribunal that cannot be controlled by Federal office holders, and when that tribunal shall render its verdict against Harrison and Reid a joyful chorus of "I told you so s will be heard from Quay, Clarkson, Piatt & Co. The presence at the Minneapolis convention of such a large number of office-holders, has revived the idea of an amendment to civil service reform law, prohibiting any Federal office holder becoming a delegate or alter- ' - m nate to any nominating convention There is no question that such an amenement would be in the line of real reform, r.ni tmny think that Sen-. i I s it itives should also c included. It is understood that Mr. Harrison is almost as much pleased at having at last succeeded in getting rid of Mr. Blaine as he is at being renomi nated. He will take pains in filling the vacancy not to select a man larger than himself. Representative Bryan, of Nebraska whose speech on tariff made such wide and favorable impression last winter, is delighted. He says "Har- rison's nomination will be especially helpful to the Democrats of the west because he represents all that is stal wart in the Republisan party. The young men are drifting to the Demo cracy, and there is nothing about Harrison to change the drift. He represents all that is high in protec tion aud all that is bitter partisanship This, together with the fact that he is opposed to the west on the silver question, will make his nomination of special advantage to the Democrats of that section." The death of Col. L. L. Polk president of the Farmers' Alliance which occured here on Saturday, up set the plans of the leaders of that organization to a very great extent as he had been slated tor a place on the ticket which it is proposed to nominate at Omaha on the 4th of next month. The Parkliurst Movement. The Rev. Wm. O'B Pardow preaching last Sunday in his churc in New York from St. John xvi, I "Of the Parkhurst movement" among other things said: "lhere are some would-be re formers who profess to be filled with desire to correct vice, but they do not go about it in the true Christian spirit. We can never hope to cor rect vice as long as we consider vice as merely an offense against society as a misdemeanor. Vice, especial ly certain vices should certainly be kept even in name from the sensitive ears of youth, is not a misdemeanor it is a sin, a mortal sin. "Sin is an offense against God; misdemeanor is an offense against man against society. As long we endeavor to overcome vice by police regulations and detective agencies we will fail. Police regula tions will never make men or women pure. The Holy Spirit charges the world with sin. We have to accentuate the idea of God whose eye is ever upon us to develop the need of constant recourse to Christ. Thus ami thus only can w hope to successfully cope with sin. "St. Paul referred to certain j crimes that should not ever be mentioned among Christians. It is a mistake worse, it is a crime to drag these hideous vices into the scorching light of day to the great scandal and ruin of many by the public attention that has recently been directed to the vice-ridden haunts of this great city. A morbid curiosity has been aroused, and many heretofore pure young hearts have been familiarized with things that they would never other wise have heard of. "There arc vices in high lile as there are vices in low life, with this difference: That in the case ol the former iron gates bar the way to dis covery only the eye of One can penetrate but to the latter money opens the door to every comer. Christ never held up the sinner, however sunken, to the raillery of the world. He simply said, "Come unto me," and then "go and sin no more." N. Y. World. A Change for the Better.

COAL THE HEATH OF LEONID AS L. POLK. The Victim of Blood Poisoning; A Sketch of His Life Public Services Whlcn Be gan More Than Thirty Tears Ago. Washington, June nth, 1892. President Leonidas L. Polk, of the National Farmers' Alliance, died at the Garfield Hospital in this city at 11:15 o clock this morning. lhe immediate cause of death was urae mia (blood "poisoning), caused from bladder trouble, of which Mr. Polk had been a victim for many years. The patient has been lying seriously ill at his private residence for the past ten days. The result ot the consul tation of physicians was his removal to the Garfield Hospital yesterday, where a surgical operation was deemed to be the only means of saving Mr. Polk's life. He became unconscious yesterday afternoon from which condition he never rallied, and it was decided not to perform the operation. When the end came this morning Mrs. Polk, who had just arrived in the city, was at his bedside. Telegrams from all parts of the bouth have been received, inquiring as to Mr 'Polk's condition, and he has been daily visited by prominent men 01 the Farmers' Alliance. No arrange ments for the funeral have yet been made. Col. Leonidas L. Polk was born in Anson county, N. C, in April 1 8 17, and was brought up on a farm. He was elected to the lower house of the North Carolina General Assem bly in i860; entered the Confederate army in 1861, and served with dis tinction during the war ; and was again elected to the North Carolina General Assembly in 1865 'and soon thereafter was elected a delegate to the Constitutional Convention of North Carolina. In 1877 he was appointed Commissioner of Agricul ture, and began the publication of the Progressive Farmer, in 1886, and commenced organizing farmers' clubs in his State In 1887 he joined the Farmers' Alliance, was elected Sec retary of the Farmers' State Alliance of North Carolina, at its first organi zation, which position he continued to hold up to the time he was elected first Vice President of the National Farmers' and Co-operative Union of America in 1887 and was re-elected in 1888. At the National Convention held in St. Louis, December 3, 1889, he was elected President of the Na tional Farmers' Alliance and Indus trial Union, which office he was filling at the time of his death. Tuesday's Raleigh Chronicle says : The remains of Col. L. L. Polk, on a special car tendered by the Richmond and Danville Railroad Company, arrived in this city from Washington Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, accompanied by Mrs. Polk, his son-in-law Denmark, and Senators Peffer, of Kansas, and Irby, of South Carolina ; Congressmen S. B. Alex ander, and W. A. B. Branch, of North Carolina ; W. A. McKegan, O M Kem and J G Otis,, of Kansas ; C S Moses, of Georgia, E T Stack house, of South Carolina ; also Dr. C W Macune, editor National Econ omist, J H Turner, Secretary Nation al Alliance ; J F Tillman, W A Baker, W F Gwynne, J A Albrighton, Hugh Smith and Dr W C Murphy, Mrs Jerry Simpson, Mrs J G Otis, Mrs W A Baker, Mrs Ben Terrell, Mrs J A Albrighton, Mrs N A Dun ning and Miss B A Dwyer. The funeral party was met ai Greensboro by Mr Worth, of the Alliance Business Agency, and other friends of the deceased, and at the depot in Raleigh by hundreds of ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, all anxious to pay respect to a Ral eigh citizen prominent in Church and State. The funeral procession was formed with Dr A J Dalby, W J Peele, G L Allen, Col J M Heck, N B Broughton, J E Ray, C E King, Dr G W Sanderlin, W S Barnes and S O Wilson, local pall-bearers, and was one of the largest ever seen in Raleigh. The remains were carried immediately to the First Baptist Church, where Dr. Carter, the pastor, preached the funeral sermon. Col. Polk was a member of this church, as are most of his immediate relatives, and was at one time President of the North Carolina Baptist Convention. The interment took place at Oak wood cemetery in the family burying ground, and the Washington party left on the 6:15 train, returning to that city. At the church the casket was open ed and the remains viewed by hun dreds of acquaintances and friends. He was a man of able build and handsome personal appearance and was natural in death. A suitable shaft will be raised over his grave and the initial steps were taken yesterday. At a meeting ol a number of friends of the late Col. L. L. Polk, held in Raleigh, June 13th, it was determined to call a public meeting to be held in Metropolitan Hall, Raleigh, June 23d, at 1 2 o'clock, for the purpose of or ganizing a Polk Memorial Associa tion, looking to the eretion of a suita ble monument to his memory. To this end, the undersigned, a commit tee appointed by said meeting, cor dially invite the co-operation of those interested in this State and through out the country. Marion Butler, E. McK.
