TIIK IiEMOCRATlO .NATIONAL COMMIT

ON TIIK UKSI I.T OK ELECTIONS IN
MAINE, VERMONT AND ARKANSAS,
The Democratic National Committee
have issued the following aildross :
Ti llir 1'i-iph; a Ihr United Stifles:
. The Democratic National Committee
congratulates the country on the result of
the r'cent Stat; elections in Maine, Ver
mont and Arkansas. In Aikansas ti e
c mibined opposition after so many extia
vague claims fell short by over 30,000
votes. This lias brought dismay to the
combination iu the South, and its manip
ulators in the North. In Maine and
Vermont the contest was conducted dis
tinctly on natioual issues. The Republi
can managers appealed for votes in these
Stales on the ground that tho size of the
pluralities would exert great moral influ
ence on the campaign in other States,"
and that the poll would be "pratically
our vote for President." Similiar appeals
sumuioucd to their aid all pnteut re
sources of their national oiganization with
its splendid equipment of orators of na
tional fame. With every favoring force
at their command, except public opinion;
with no organization opposed save thoso
made up within the States by the minor
ity party, which has been out of power
for a generation, and which was unaided
from without, the campaign of our ad
versaries for a triumphant test vote in
these States, so carefully planned and so
thoroughly and forcefully executed, has
coded in conspicuous disaster.
Our friends everywhere are entitled to
take fresh courage from these results.
They mean that the strong tendency of
public sentiment is with the Democracy,
and that the people of the country are
prepared to enforce, rather than reverse,
the verdict which they rendered in 1890.

OPPOSED TO POLITICS.
A frequeut recurrence to fundamental
principles is absolutely essential to the
promotion and prosperity of our order.
We must not forget, even iu the excite
meut of apolitical campaign, and in the
bitter contest of party rancor, that the
Fanners' Alliance is a mm partisan organ
ization. Keep it free from the corroding
touch of partisan action. Let the mem
bers investigate the questions at issue be
tween the parties with the single and pa
triotic purpose of ascertaining the truth,
and weigh the candidates in the scales of
an impartial judgment, mid go to the
ballot-box aud vote for the best and high
est interests of the whole country and of
the whole people. Above all Ict us keep
our uoble order on such a high plane that
it cannot be used by selfish aud designing
politicians as an instrument for promoting
their selfish purposes. Progressive Far

the candidacy for governor forced
ul'on him. he quits the canvass
but has not uiven up the field.
We t;ike tho following interview with
Dr. Exum from tho Sa'isbury Herald :
Dr. Exum, the People's party candidate
for Governor, passed through here last
night en route for his Indue at Goldsboro.
He spoke at Dallas yesterday, was tired
out, and had given up tho canvass for
awhile.
A Herald reporter interviewed the
Doctor at the depot, and he spoke freely,
not only on tho issues of the day, but of
his position as a candidate. He said,
''yes, the candidacy for Governor was
forced upon me. I did not want it. I
tried to get some one else to take it. I
have several times had tho oiTer to hc
coiuo a candidate for Congress but would
not accept it."
"Doctor, you have an appointment to
speak in Salisbury Wednesday; will you
be here?"
"No, I will not be here at that time,
but Butler will be on hand, lie stopped
at Concord to-night. There is another
appointment for Salisbury, I'll probably
be here then. Iam glad to meet you
Mr. Brown. I am told you would not
misquote, inc. I have been misrepresent
ed by every paper in the State except
the paper published at High Point. It
is disposed to treat me fairly. Lot me
tell you; I used to think everything I saw
in a Democratic paper was true, but uow
I don't believe a word in any paper. They
all lie."
"I suppose, then, you don't believe all
you see in the Progressive Farmer?"
"No, tho Progressive Farmer lies too."
"It is reported, Doctor, that you have
given up the field and would withdraw
from the contest."
"That is not true. I have not done so
yet. If I knew I wouldjeopardize or be
instrumental in endangering North Car
olina, I would go in tho car and die. I
have baen a Democrat for more than
half a century, but I will not votu for
Cleveland."
"How about Mr. Harrison?"
"No Republican for me. I have never
voted a Republican ticket aud I would
not voto for him."
'What about Mr. Weaver? Is he a
better man than Mr. Cleveland?"
"I don't know."
"What are your politics? Are you a
Republican or a Democrat?"
"I am neither. I am going for prin
ciple."
"You arc a Democrat and will give up
the field.
"No, I am not (evasively) I will con
tinue in the campaign awhile, yet."
"If you were to withdraw you would
strengthen the Democratic party."
"I don't know about that. It would
give about 10,000 votes to tho Democrat
ic party and about 5,000 to the Republi
can party. If we would do that the
Democrats would carry tho State."
"We are going to carry the State any
way, Doctor, with both your party and
the Republican party in the field."
"If you do you will have to do it by
counting."
"No, we are going to do it by vot
ins" "If I knew that I would sleep well-to-night.
I have been a Democrat, but I
did not voto for Cleveland the last time,
nor for Horace Greeley. I was never
UUoll of a UlllitloillU. OolllO uf tilt) pujn-rn
soy I can't talk, but I can talk right
lively."
He talked in this manner until tho
train pulled out. Dr. Exum is a man of
age, is portly, has a grey beard ou his
chin and wears glasses. He speaks open
ly, freely and refers to himself as being
formerly a Dem ,crat, with some emphasis.
It is clear that he is on the fence as to
his position and undecided as to what he
will do. It is further evident that if lie
had his choice he would withdraw from
the field. lie brands the report that he
"would prefer negro rule th tho present
guvcruuiuut" as a lie, aul iutimates tha'
he will call the slanderer to account.
BABY ANNIE'S PKAYEB.
TOUCHING SCENE IN A CAR ONj THE
PIEDMONT A1U LINE.
We were a round dozen of tho gloom
iest passengers that ever got together in
a Pullman car one warm night coming
up from Atlanta over the Piedmont Air
Line, says the Philadelphia Times. Thore
were several reasons for the surly dullness,
which deepened as the evening wore on.
The weather was clammy and uncomfort
able, while to open tho windows was to
iovite a coat of soot and showers of cir
ders. With such conditions it was not to be
wondered at that an air of gloomy uiorose
ness pervaded the car. The only party
who did not openly evince any evidence
of discontent was a group of sad faced
men, a woman with a subdued counte
nance and a tiny tot of five, apparently
the daughter of the.man and the niece of
the lady. We all knew well enough
why they were so quiet. In the baggage
car was a rough box, and the little girl
clutched tightly a bouquet of the same
tube roses we had seen carried in with tho
coffin,
Cheerfulness did not increase as the
night grew on. Three drummers tried
to break the gloom by relating rather off
color stories in an audible undertone.
Two Atlanta sports were ta'king over
a poker game, interjecting little bursts
of profanity into their conversation,
hardly broad enough to merit reproof
from the conductor, but yet not the kind
of talk desirable in family circles. Pres
ently the porter began making up the
berths, commencing at the rear, where
the funeral party was ensconced. The
train rumbled on through the darkness,
the hum of discontented conversation
filled the car, and none of the men paid
the slightest attention to tho white jack
eted negro and his work.
By aud by there wero sounds of a
slight disturbance from the back part of
the car, which caused every one to turn
their eyes thither. In the middle of tho
aisle stood a littlo fairy form clad in a
snowy white dress, her golden curls shak
ing over her shoulders by the rocking of
tho car, while her blue eyes wero troubled
and half afloat in tears. She was saying
in a baby voice, which opposition had
caused to rise to its highest, pitch, dis
tinguishable above the rumble of the
train: "Papa and auntie, I must; mam
ma told me to before she went to sleep."
Seeing the attention of the other passen
gers drawn upon them, tho father flushed
and in ado no further remonstrance, nnd
the lady also drew back. The little tot
got dowu reverently upon her knees by
the side of the berth, clasped her tiny
hands and began:
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
and so on through ic all until the final
amen, adding, "God b'ess papa and
auntie and peor 'ittlu Anuie, whose mam
ma has goned away.
Then, unresisting, they tucked
her in'o the berth. There was no
more story-telling, no more grumbling, no
more growing that uight. The train
rumbled on with tho sleeping mother in
the baggage car and the sleeping orphan
iu the Pullman.

MB. CLEVELAND
AND THE ALLIANCE.
HE SEES NOTHING 01UECT10NAULE IN
THE ORGANIZATION FARMERS, OF
ALL MEN, ARE INTERESTED IN THE
QUESTION OF TARIFF REFORM.
Atlanta Giimtitiiti'im.
A studious effort has been made by
third party leaders, and by some who are
not quite ready to endorse third party
doctrines, to convince the members of the
farmer's alliance that they cannot con
scientiously support the Democratic can
didate for president. This effort has
been persistent, and we havo no doubt
that the impression has been created in
the minds of many farmers that Mr.
Cleveland is opposed to the Alliance.
And yet the impression is wide of the
mark. So far as Mr. Cleveland's atti udc
toward the Farmeis' Alliance is concern
ed it is a matter of record. It stands
for itself. The following letter, written
some time ago, gives the views of Mr.
Cleveland. It is written ia reply to the
enclosure of a copy of the declarations -.f
the alliance in a letter from the secret j-y
of an Ohio sub-alliance:
March 20, 1890. J. A. Hill, Con s
ponding Secretary Oak Grove Lod-",
No. 22, Near Steubcnville, O. Dear . :
"1 have received your letter, accom
nied by a copy of the declaration of tlie
principles of the farmers' alliance. I see
nothing in this declaration that cannot be
fully endorsed by any man who loves his
country; who believes that the object of
our government should be the freedom,
prosperity and happiness of all our people,
and who believe that justice and fairness
to all are necessary conditions to its useful
administration.
"It has always seemed to me that the
farmers ot the country were especially
interested in tho equitable adjustment of
our tariff system. They indifference
they have shown to that question and the
case with which they have been led away
from a sober consideration of their needs
and their rights as related to this subject
have excited my surprise.
"Struggle as they might, our farmers
must continuo to be the purchasers and
consumers of the numberless things en
hanced in cost by tariff regulations.
Surely they have a right to say that this
cost shall not be increased sor the purpose
of collecting unnecessary revenue or to
give undue advantage to domestic manu
facturers.
"The plea that our infaut industries
need protection, which thus impoverishes
the farmer and consumer, is, in view of
our natural advantages and skill and the
ingenuity of our people, a hollow pre
text. "Struggle as they may, our farmers
cannot escape tho conditions which fix
the price of what they produco them
selves accotding to the rates which pre
vail in foreign markets, flooded with the
competition of countries enjoying a freer
trade than we.
"The -plausible presentation of tho
blessings of the home market should not
deceive our depressed and impoverished
agrieultuiists. There is no home market
for them that does not take its instruction
from the seaboard, and the seaboard
trausmits the word of foreign markets.
"Because my conviction that there
should be u modification of our tariff laws
arose principally from an appreciation of
the wants of the vast army of consumers,
comprising our farmers, our artisms, and
"tir V"rkni"n, nnd b-cniNo tlfir cin.litinn
has led mcto protest ugaiusttlii: present im-
piwiiion, I a.o especially glad to m.e these
associations of fellow-countrymen arous-
iug the-usolves to the importance of tariff
reform. Yours very truly,
Grover Cleveland.
Here is an endorsement of the teal
urp ses uf the farmers' alliance at once
dignified and hearty, and is in contrast
to tli! attitude of those who are seeking
to use the alliance moveoicnt a a stepp
ing ttone to office.

I Tobacco Cure !
AtjL'ICK and ABSuLl'TE CUKE for the
TOBACCO HABIT!
Next to the whiskey traffic, it is the
most expensive and loathsome habit of the
American people. The annual cost runs
up into millions. The average tobacco
user pays to gratify this unnatural appetite
from live to ten times more than he gives
to support the Church. Shame on us.
This Cure has not yet failed where the
party was iir earnest about quitting and
followed directions. Thousands have baen
cnied of chewing, smoking and dipping.
