THE STANDARD
JAMES P. COOK,
Edit ok.
TnuRSDA, - - Aug. 4, 1S92.
HOW IS THIS ?
Ihere arc many, many Democrats
in the South who did uot want Mr,
Cleveland normuateu. mere are
others that did not waut Mr. Hill
nominated. The objection to the
nomination of Cleveland was no
from the lack of confidence in his
honor, lutegnty and ability, but
rather to the fact that many of the
masses preferred a candidate from
a State other than New York ex
vediencv, you understand. But the
great Democracy, by its representa
tives assembled in Chicago, de
dared the popular will for Mr.
Cleveland.
The die is ca3t : It will be Cleve
land or it will be Harrison there
is no earthly chance for the succes
of any other candidate.
While the delegates from this
State did not support Mr. Cleveland
in the Convention, it was done
purely to represent as far as possible
the sentiment of the State.
But North Carolina, now that Mr,
Cleveland, pure, honest and able
i3 the .standard bearer, can and
willi acouiesce in the will of the
majority.
And in Joins this the citizens
will best serve themselves and the
country.
If for no other reason, Grover
Cleveland deserves the hearty and
enthus'astic support of all Southern
sons, in that he's the first President
of the people the first to recogni
Southern honor, Southern ability
and Southern rights.
His administration was clean
like his own political life. He was
the staunch friend of the South in
his radical opposition to the tw
systems that have robbed the South
and made the ills that hurt us most
it was he, who sounded with pow
er the cry for tariff reform, and he
did it in face of the fact that many
declared it would defeat him it
was he who vetoed more pension
bills than all put together before
bills pensioning men many of whom
never smelt powder in the decade be
tween 1SC0 and 1S70. In Grover
Cleveland, the South ha3 a genuine
and hoaest friend. .Nowhere in hi
public utterences can be found
slander or vilification he uttered
against the South this can not be
said of other cardidates.
"Will vou take Cleveland, the firs
to recognize us ; or will you help the
election of Harrison, the champion
of high tariff, of pensions and the
believer in the Force Bill 'i
HE IS 1'OK ISIIMVELI..
The Standard had a chat with
Commissioner Jes3e H. Earnhardt,
on Men lay. When asked about his
position at the mas3 meeting, he ex
plained: "I have been studying
political matters, parties and plat
forms ; and I have studied the men
on these platforms. I have even
prayed over the subject. I endorse
the Omaha platform and while I
vote f jr principle I also have a re
gard for the kind of man I vote for.
I can not therefore vote for Mr.
Weaver, but I have decided to vote
for Bidwell the Prohibitionist
Mr. Earnhardt is an honest, con
sciencious man. He means to do
right, and he haj a right to vote for
whom he pleases, just as much as
any ot us. But Mr. Earnhardt
probably ha3 not studied the ques
tion far enough He cast3 his vote
for a purpose it is to have its pro
portionate effect. It ia not only to
Batisfy his own desires in the mat
ter, but it's to help others in decid
ing who shall govern this country.
We take it for granted that Mr.
Earnhardt nor anyone else do not
suppose for a moment that Mr. Bid
well can be elected. He knows, too,
that either Cleveland or Harrison,
owing to actual facts, will be elected.
""And now from his own staudpoint
Mr. Earnhardt should choose be
tween the two. He, like other men,
are needed to decile the contest.
Having affiliated with the Demo
cratic party heretofore he casts a
vote for Harrison, even though he
votes for Mr. Bidwelh
The Standard believes that Mr.
Earnhardt would far prefer Mr.
Cleveland to Mr. Harrison, and will,
when the time comes, cast his vote
in no way encouraging to Mr. Har
rison. WE APPRECIATE IT.
Correspondent, "II T B," of Clea?
Creek, writes a corrmunication which
the Standard appreciates no little.
It is sensible, kind, generous and
partakes of the spirit of the Golden
Rule. It is an appeal for the ac
cording of individual rights, without
impugning motives. Ia addition to
this, it makes kind references to
this writer were it not for the ap
pearance of vanity on our part the
Standard would publish it. The
royal friend, though he differs
politically with us, has our sincerest
thanks and assurances of continued
friendship.
HEUARDIJKtt Mlt. WHITE.
At an adjourned meeting of Ca
barrus County Alliance, held at
Concord, N. C, July 28. 1892, the
following resolutions were adopted :
Whereas, There appeared in the
Daily Standard of July 22nd, ult,
ind republished in the Weekly
Standard, July 2Sth, an editorial re
flecting on th e character of James
B White, and attention called to the
fact that he had been reflected
President of the County Alliance,
and
Whereas, We consider the said
editorial malicious and false, and
Whereas, we do not consider the
said article as worthy of notice, ex
cept that it is published in one of
the county papers that pretends to
be friendly to our cause, therefore,
Be it resolved, That we, the
Cabarrus County Alliance, in con
vention assembled, do hereby renew
our confidence in the christian
character of Bro. White.
Resolved, That the county papers
be requested to publish these resolu
tions. " Jxo. A. Sims, Sec'y,
Cabarrus Count j Alliance.
The Editor of the Standard, on
account of sickness, was off of duty
and out ot town, at the time of the
publication of the article complained,
of. He was not the author of the
article, which is considered of such
a character as to call for the above
resolutions. But, a3 editor of this
paper, we are responsible indirectly
if not directly for the publication
of the article.
We have reasons to believe that
the gentleman, who indicted the
article, meant no reflection on the
Alliance, nor upon the christian
character of Mr. White,
Personally, tbe editor regrets that
a meaning was attributed to the
article, which certainly was not in-
tended. While the Standard can
not agree with Mr. White in his
present political inclinations, it
must not be adjudged unfriendly
and Jenmious to the Alliance, nor
will it deny him (Mr. White) the
right to act politically as his con
science dictates. .
We have always considered Mr.
White a moral gentleman, and have
seen no. reasons to change that
opinion.

A Massachusetts man is making

the laborer's wages is reduced twen

Greensboro Workman: -'The im
portance of having a good almanac
is clearly seen in the dating of the
Concord Standard of last Saturday.

A WOMAN IS WHITE.
Who Makes Uosij Kignnln to the
Marlleat Engineers.
Waycross, Ga., July 31. A little
over a year ago an engineer on the
old Brunswick and Western road
was frightened by an apparition of a
woman in white that frequently ap
peared at a lonely station at night
and made ghostly signals to the en
gineeer.
Recently another woman in white
has appeared, and on several occa
sions has attempted to wave the
train down. One engineer reports
that the woman was seen standing
on the track, just in front of the
engine, which seemed to pass over
her ; and she was seen running to
wards the woods as the train dashed
iy-
Evidently some crazy woman must
be at large in that vicinity.

Presidential campaign.

8th. Not to entertain the thought
or affect to believe that a person is
bad in any sense when I have every
reason to believe him to be a good

11th. Not to" call every fellow a
fop that can afford to dress better

This is preeminently the case with
men Tn a'political sphere.

myfiDgers into the boiling, seethirjg
political caldron, but to hike con

that f ullj 20,000 Democrats will not
only refuse to vote the People's

the Republican ticket on, tho pround
that it would materially retard tLe
progress of the State to install the

The kicking Democrats, however,
will vote for the People's electors,
wiih tho hope that Kansas may be
taken out of the Republican column.
As the leading Republicans figure,
with 20,000 Deinocrots supporting
the Republican ticket, it will be

large numbers have voted o;en Jones'

At the railroad crossing on Beat-

an approaching train can not be
seen or heard unless a signal is
blown.
Monday evening as the heavy
cloud was rapidly coming up, Mr.
Doaton wa3 0 riving at a brisk rate
to get home before the rain. Just
as he got within five feet of the
raiiroad the lady with him said, I
believe there's a train, and Deaton
gave his horse such a sudden jerk
that he fell on his hind legs, break
ing the shafts. Iu a moment, the
train dashed by at a f ist speed.
Had the lady not accidentally
liPrtl the rumblin? noise of the
train, she, Mr. Deaton and the team
would have been caught on the track
It is worst kind of negligence the
engineers have in not blowing the
signal at such places.
The Standard learns that several
other parties have had narrow es
capes at this very place recently.
It strikes us that it would be an

SEN ATOR VEST'S PLAN.
Wilmington Messenger.
The able Mir souri Senator, Mr.
Vest, has a plan of his own that has
merit, for dealing with the .present
high tariff tax of the Republican op
pressors of the people. He proposes
to deal with the tax andjsilverin con
nection. His plan is to offer to Ger
many, France and England a reduc
tion of 23 per cent" on certain pro
ducts of those countries now so
heavily taxed by the Republican
juggernaut. But this is to be done
only od the condition that the coun
tries named shall agree to a silver
standard free coinage upon a ra
tio of fifteen and one-half or 1C
ounces of silver to one ounce of gold.
This might settle the much disturb
Dg silver question, and for the good
of all countries, and settle too in
part the highway robbery perpetra
ted under the ereat, grinding tariff
of the Republican party. The
Philadelphia Record regards Mr.
Vest's plan with favor, says it ia
ingenious, and adds :
"If the Republicans be sincere in
their platform declaration in favor
of duties cn imports equal to the
diilerance between wages abroad
and at home, and no more, they
cannot seriously object to the re-
ductions in duties proposed by Sens
ator VeBt. After making these re
ductions tho duties still remaining
would cover twice 'over tho differ
ence between wages at home and
