cerely hope that the general public
will not consider the Third party
and the Alliance as twin brothers
and that the conservative element of
the Alliance will 6ee to it that no
cause is given to turn the orders
over toauy political machine.
That there is a disposition on the
part of some to do this can not be
questioned. The Alliance deserves
future existence, because of the
goo 1 work it has done in many re
spects; but it cannot be the pjwe

AMU.KSON S I 1 1 TO IJE FOlt
CL EYELASH.
A subscriber at ConcorJ, writing
to the News savs : A gentleman from
Flow's Store yesterday told Eome
parties in Concord that in an inter
view recently with Rev. Anderson,
lie proclaimed in favor of Cleveland.
He, however, does not in the least
withdraw his devotion to the Alli
ance principles and still thinks that
if the ideas of the Alliance were
adopted that many of the grievances
now complained of would be adjust
ed satisfactorily to all concerned.
He has been held up to the people,
through the press and otherwise, a3
a strong Third party man ; but this
utterance, if true, and I believe it is,
will at least show him in the proper
light and set to rest the often res
pea ted assertions to the contrary. It
will at least give him an opportunity
of Eaying something one way or the
other. Charlotte News.
There seems but little doubt of
the accuracy of the above, a3 it has
come straight and through good
sources. It creates scarcely any
surprise, and certainly none among
those who know Mr. Anderson well.
His ability to analyze the situation
and his disposition to weigh all mat
ters thoroughly and carefully, are
so well known to his friends that
they felt confident that when he had
had time to give the situation the
thought, it deserved, he would withs
out doubt support Mr. Cleveland.
Hence those who know Mr. Ander-
Bon's ability and judgement are not
at all surprised. So it 18 with many of
our good friends, who now sympa
thize with the Third Tarty move
mentwhen they decide upon the
merits of the candidates and the is
euea involved, they will have the
courage to act their convictions.
The Standard is a warm admirer
of Mr. Anderson, in his power and
hia earnestness, whether he oe Third
Tarty or Democrat, and it is with
pleasure that we hear of hia de
cision to fight for reforms inside of
he Democratic party.

Whatever may be said of Harry
Skinner, he i3 not devoid of some
love for North Carolina. In ac
cepting the nomination for governor
on the t p. ticket, he did it condi
tionallv: to withdraw if the white
yote of the state became so divided
that the republican, running ticket,
bad promise of being successful. He
was asked: "Between .Laves ana
Carr, which?" "X will take Carr,"
sid Mr. Skinner. This threw fat
into the fire. The republican dele
gates yelled and howled "down with
him." In the excitement the crowd
joined.

party can win.
Down went Skinner and his exit
became Exum.
The people ot North Carolina are
not built in a way to play into the
bauds of a party which they have
beeu fighting for years. Even liars
ry Skinner refused to do it, and we
know the masses of North Carolina
are truer aud better thau he.
What will be gained by such a
suicidal course, anyway? The peo
ple of North Carolina are not fools;
and the republican trick in making
the t. p. believe thej have no inten
tion to put out a ticket will be found
out in time to derail the scheme.
Cabarru3 people are not going to
help nominate a respectable and
worthy North Carolinian and then
join republican schemes to defeat
him. This is not their idea of
honesty.

The Congressional candidates, in
the Third district, of the Republi
can and Third party were delegates
to the recent t. p. State Conven
tion. They sat there with one mis
sion. How can this matter be recon
ciled? Candidates for the same
honors from the same district, upon
different platforms, are delegates to
the same convention!
Citizens of Cabarrus county, we
are but giving voice to our great
couGdence in your idea of right and
justice when we say that no such a
political conglomeration can turn
out results that will meet your ap
probation and win your support.
You sturdy sons of toil have too
much regard for your political acts
to assist in the nomination of a ticket
and then support one that is put
out by a mongrel assembly of race,
politics and morals for the sola pur
pose of defeating your own ticket,
and to satisfy the political aspira
tiou3 of a few men. Having this
estimate of the bone and sinew of
the county, the Standard saya that
the masses of Cabarrus cannot ap
prove this t:cket; and not approv
ing it, will not support it.

If a sympathizer ot the L p. ex
presses his wish to save North Caros
lina from the control of the repub
lican party, he at once loses his good
standing in the t. p. ranks. Y'ou
are cited to the pulling down of
Harry Skinner from the ticket, after
the republicans as well as the ne
groes in the t. p. state convention
had howled themselves hoarse for
his nomination. They did this
when Mr. Skinner intimated that he
would withdraw, if the Republicans'
chances for carrying the election
seemed bright.
Is this not evidence that the t. p.
movement has its fountain head in
Republican circles ? And the stran
gest part of the whole thing is that
some goud white sitizens and former
Democrats in North Carolina are

lation today that would have been
retired but for the vigilance of
Democrats. Only $8,000,000 of
silver dollars, "the dollars of our
daddies," were coined from 1793 to
1873, when silver was demonetized.
The demonetization of silver was a
swindle and was passed without no

State Chronicle : A negro delegate
from Vance, Eaton, made a farewell
speech to the Third party state con

and that those who before Novem

great applause. Eaton urged the
delegates not to leave the hall dis

lieve a parcel of four empty handed
and miserable negroes could embar
rass or threaten the old Anglo
Saxon race.
At this the white delegates who
crowded close around Eaton shower
ed on their applause. He said the
blood of thousands of negroes "was
dripping in sight of the Declaration
of Independence, not one of the old
parties had come to the relief of the
negro. The only relief comes through
the third party. "Thank God" said
he, "there is a Weaver who will

that the government did nothing for

How Tliejr Ex poet to Elect a Vice
Prewldent.
The People's party is figuring on
electing the Vice-Tresident this fall.
They talk in a very sanguine man
ner about what they are going to do
in the matter of controlling the
House and carrying certain States
on the national ticket, but they do
not pretend to have any idea that
they will elect Wreaver and Field.
But they figure out that they are
bound to elect Field to the vice-
presidency. "I feel," said Mr. Mc-
Cune to a Washington Star reporter
today, "that Field's election is practi
cally assured. He is bound to be
elected if the election of the Fresii
dent ia thrown into the House,
which is very likely to happen. The
House would, of course, elect Mr.
Cleveland to the presidency. Then
the Senate would have to select the
Vice-Tresident from the three candi
dates who received the highest num
ber of votes at the polls. The Con
stitution prohibits the Tresident and
Vice-Tresident both coming from
the same State, and the House hav
ing chosen Mr. Cleveland first Mr.
Reid would be rendered ineligible.
The Senate would, therefore, be
compelled to choose between Mr.
Stevenson and Mr. Field, and there
is little room for doubt that they
would select the latter.

Congressman Henderson : The
Republicans elected a majority in
the 51st Congress and repealed the
Bland act and suspended the coin
age of the Bland dollars, in place of
which they required the Secretary of
the Treasury to purchase $4,500,000
worth of silver bullion each month
and issue treasury notea therefor,
$100,000,000 of these notes are in
circulation. The Republicans had
tried to stop the circulation of these,
too, but Democrats had prevented it.
It is due only to the vigilance of
Democrat that over $900,000,000, of

today is not retired and the amount

Yesterday three men sat in the
Palmer House trying to decide what
was the hottest place in Chicago.
Engine rooms, locomotive cabs, and
basements were suggested, but it
was Dually agreed by the trio that a
big laundry was the hottest place in
town. One of the men 'jumped up
and declared his intention of eoiner
into one just to see what it wa9
like on a hot day. His companions
demurred, and he went away on his
investigation alone.
But what a Chicago laundry is
inside in summer will forever re
main a mystery to the uninitiated.
The curious man didn't find ont
how the interior of a laundry ap

gazed in at her over the office desk.
"Can I go in and see the laundry

"Well um ah," said the young
woman, in some contusion, "hadn t
you better come around on a cooler
day?"
"No, that isn't it," 8aid the man.
"I've seen laundries on cool days;
what I want to see is a laundry on a
hot day. You understand?"
"Yes, but you see ah, well, you
know dear me, I don't know what
to say," and the girl stampered in
great embarrassment.
"Oh, you better let me in," aaid
the man, who had an indefinite im

screamed, "Don't go in there! For

any questions."
"Look here," paid the investigator,
"what are you making so much fuss
for? Now quiet down and tell me
why I can't go in."
"Well um yon know, it's awful

"Of course, I understand that."
Um ah pshaw ! and the girl3 in
there, you know you see there are

go away."
"I supposed there we-e girls in

about the girls in there ?" and the
invesstigator felt very much put out
at the jouug woman's stupidity.
"Oh, dear," said the -oung woman,

Freston, Minn., August 16th.
The people of Canton, in this couni

a picture which has suddenly appear
ed in a little round window high up
in the steeple of the Roman Catholic
church.
The picture is that of a grotto, in
which is the form of a woman, with
her infant lying on her left arm,
while just in front and' slightly
aboye the woman is another face
looking down at the pair.
The woman is dressed in a loose
white robe, has long black hair and
a lovely face. The child is not so
plainly visible. The third face is
that of a bearded, man. Some who
have looked for it have been unable
to eee the picture.
The glass has been carefully wash

the picture is still there its existence
cannot be denied.

Charleston, S. C, Aug. 18. The
democratic campaign meeting at
Newberry tosday broke up in a riot
The trouble commenced with Gov.
Tillman denouncing one of the op
posite speakers as a blackguard.
Mr. Youmans, the man in question,
who is candidate for secretary of
state on the conservative ticket, de
manded to know if Tillman refers
red to him aa a blackguard. The
crowd, then numbering several thou
sand, jumped up and tore down the
stand. A general fight' followed,
but the parties were separated. A
good many men were bruiaed, but
none were seriously injured. The
conservatives held their position and
continued the meeting after quiet
was restored. Very bad blood has
been engendered in the campaign
and this was but a culmination.
A dispatch from Columbia saya
this : At the Newberry meeting tov.
day Colonel Youmana made the fol
lowing statement in his speech after
the meeting had been temporarily
broken up:
"If Governor Tillman meant to
cast an epithet on me 1 take this op
portunity to brand him as a public
blackguard and liar, and if he wish
es any personal satisfaction, I hold
myself personally responsible. The
record proves that he is the first man
elevated to high official position by
the white people of South Carolina,
whose standard is so low that the
sentry of the State consider that he
could not pass an insult.
"A custom prevails which debars
a man from seeking satisfaction
from a man of Governor Tillman's
standard, but a gentleman could
render satisfaction if he so desired,
to his boot black. If Governor
Tillman fails to notice what I say,
I brand him as a public coward.'

The citizens of No 8 claim to be

formed a Cleveland and Carr Club.
The thing was a certainty even be
fore it was suggested by the chair
man of the convention, thus show
ing a desire on their part to use ev
ery honorable means to increase the
interest in party work.
The citizens assembled about 8
o'clock, and found a number -which
was much larger than expected, cons
Bidering such short notice.
T A Moser, Esq., was called to
the chair, whereupon the club was
regularly organized. H. C. McAl

secretary and L A Lentz, treasurer.
Much enthusiasm was shown, and
cheering was indulged in when some
person happened to touch upon a

The president before taking his
chair made a short talk. He said
that this was a campaign of educa
