THE STANDAR
JAMES P. COOK, - Eonou.
Tiiunsnvv. - - Aug. 25, 1S02.
iil'.Al AM 0NUHK.
The Standard publishes several
arlieles today that the public, wheth
er Democrat or Third partyite, is
earnestly requested to read; and
having read them to give them
thought. It is not a "campaign
Hi'.' hut facts that can not be de
nied. "Weaver at Pulaski, Tenn,"
"Playing too lirash," "Greatly
Damage" and the "One Issue.''
It does seem to us that whatever
the platform ho may stand on, Mr.
Weaver does not deserve, (and not
deserving it will not receive it), the
support of Southern white men.
How can the people, brave, honest,
manly, respecting and patriotic, sup
port a man who has so often and so
boastingly slandered and villitied
southern men ! We don't believe
they will do it.
Tin: T in in vi iti i .
lu another column will be found
the vote, democratic and Kepublican,
by counties for the seventh congres
sional district. It is the vote poll
ed for the Cleveland and Harrison
electors of lbsS.
The vote affords some food for
thought. The democratic majority
is 4027. If the republicans put out
a ticket, the result will be close be
tween the democratic and republi
can candidates. Take the case.
There doesn't seem anything in it
specially alarming. The district
bus a mighty good representative
now (Just as good as they make
them), and it is no risk to say he
will have his term extended at least
two years longer. The district will
not dispense with the services of Mr.
Henderson they are too valuable,
besides his name has not been men-
tioned that would serve the people
half so well as has John S. He rider. I
son.
Till: ITS 1 1 VA I. llINTIO.
The Standard has a communica-.
tion today on the subject of a festi
val for the benefit of the town ceme
tery. Influenced by past observa
tions, the Standard does not endorse
the communication. If what has
been tCing on in Concord is correct,
then this coming festival is not out
of place ; if what we have been do-,
iug heretofore is wrong, then this
proposed festival is not the proper
thing.
The good people of Concord have
been cjntriburing to, managing and
supporting festivals to liquidate
church debts, make church im
provements, and giving comic shows
with comic songs and comic scenes
for the benefit of some church
work. Now if these things are
wro.ig, then thi3 pioposed festival
should te nipped in the bud.
The bodies of the dead have re-,
turned to dust ; the parts that rivet
the fond memories of us all rest else-,
where. Is the festival the right
means of raising these funds ? The
Standard knows not.

What is the situation in this state
The vote of 13 was : Fowle, 147,
yio ; Dockery, i:)'3,475, making a
majority of 14,350 for Fowle. Now
in the event that every white repub
lican in the state goes over to the
People's party there will be about
115,uu0 negro vote? left. Take
35,000 votes from the democratic
party and give them to the new
party, and the negro party goes in.
Every sane man know3 that only a
small per cent, of the white repub
licans will leave their party.
The ma jority will remain, even if
they have to submit to negro rule.
So division among the white people
of the State can only result in negro
rule. The negroes will not divide.
Their leaders see their opportunity
and will improve it. The negro vote
can be solidified in a day. A toot of
the horn by their leadear3 is all
that is necessary. We want the
v.hite men of Nortn Carolina to
think about these things. We want
them to decide whether or not they
want to be ruled by the inotly gang
who are in control of the Kepubli
can party of North Carolina. Do
you want that set to squander your
taxes 'i Do you want the gang who
drove Judge Kussell out of the Ki-
publican party to pop their whips
. over you ?
So overbearing, insolent and in
suiting have the negro politicans be
come that white republicans like
liussell, Argo, Folk, Kobinson, Mott,
and others cannot stand it. Yet we
see men like Mr. Marion IJutler and
Col. Harry Skinner leaving the demo
cratic party and trying to persude
others to do so when it is plain to all
that every vote drawn from the demc
cratic party serves to advance the ins
terest of Cheathan and his gang !
Surely these gentlemen did not res
llect upon the consquencea involved
in their step. Will they not recon
sider and heip save the State from
he blight of negro rule
1M.AVINU TOO r.KASII.

It is apparent to everyone who
keeps his eyes on the political Held
that th? Third party never would
have taken shape in the South if the
men who conducted the movement
had not counted upon the support
of the Kepublican lenders and the
votes they could barter. The lies
publican leaders eucouraged the
movement because they thought they
saw in it a prospect of dividing the
Democratic party, and of ultimately
regaining the power which they lost
years ao. From the first there has
been an understanding between the
schemers on both sides. They sop
out of the same dish on the most
friendly terms.
Did anyone ever hear these Third
party headlights abusing the Kepub
lican party or the Kepublican lead
ers ?
Did anyone ever hear them criti
cise any of President Harrison's of
ficial acts or denounce him for be
ing opposed to the free coinage of
silver, for which they have and still
do abuse Mr. Cleveland so rouully IJ
Did anyone ever hear them referr
ing to Mr. Harrison as a "tool," "at
torney'' &.C., of Wall street?
These are stereotyped, pet epithets
when speaking of Grover Cleveland.
Who ever heard them denounce
the Kepublican party in the un
measured terms they do the Demo
cratic party for the defeat of the
silver bill 'i
And yet there was a majority of
the Democrats In the House and a
majority of the Democrats in the
Senate in favor of free coinage,
while there was a majority ef the
Republicans hi the House and a mas
jonty of the Kepublicaus in the
Senate opposed to it.
This is hypocritical and dishonest,
but they are at least consistent in it,
for their tight is not against the Re
publican but against the Democrat
ic party.
When little Tom Watson, (who
was elected to Congress a3 a Demo
crat and by Democratic votes, and
betrayed his trust by going over to
the Third party), played for any ap
plause in Congress he always looked
to the Kerjublic tin si J e and got it,
because Tom Keed wa3 using him as
a tool to help carry out the Kepubli
can programme.
They are not making a tight
against the Kepublican party, bob
cause they are counting upon the
co-operation aud assistance of the
Republicans and don't dare to array
any antagonism amongst them by
criticising and abusing Harrison's
administration or the Republican
Senate.
They think they are playing the
ame so that they can fool the good
people of this State whom they ex
pect to rope into their so-called Peo
pie's party, but they are fooling
themselves more than they are fools
ng the people, who will, if they
have not already, tee through the
bungling game.
The fact is they presumed too
much on the gullibility of the peo
ple, and played their game a little
too brash.
When for the purpose of fooling
the colored voter they played the
agreeable to the colored brother, and
invited him to come in aud take
seats as delegates in their conven
tions, and then nominated them iu
some counties for county oflices, they
opened the eyes of a good many
whose eyes had not been opened be
fore, and disgusted a good many
others who don't believe in this Mack
and tan business
And when they followed thi3 up
by hobnobbing with Republican
wire-pullers af- the State Conven
tion last Tuesday, they opened the
eyes of aud disgusted a good many
more.
When they sat down on Harry
Skinner because he refused to ac
cept the nomination for Governor
unless it was understood that he
could withdraw if the Republicans
ran a ticket, they not only showed
their haud3, but threw off the dis
guise they had been wearing and ap
peared in their right garb a3 Re
publican allies.
They have had the rope, and they
have got themselves tangled up in
it so badly that tbey can't get out
now, even with such Republican as
si3tance as may come to their relief.
The simple truth 13, they were
not smart enough to play the game
they undertook to play, and per
mitted themselves to be played by
the Republicans, who played them
to np.e them.

We are inflexibly opposed to the
nomination of a State ticket, because
it will greatly damage and embar
rass the People's party in the effort
they are making to organize their
party in this State.

At a few minutes past 12, Chair
man Young called the Democratic
county convention to order, and re
quested the editors of the Times and
Standard to assist hi the temporary
organization of the convention, 'i he
roll of townships was called and each
represented except No, 2, and 4; the
latter wis represented later in the
meeting, the delegation having been
at error as to the hour of meeting.
D. Henry White, a staunch Demo
crat of No1 1, was unamimously
elected permanent chairman and the
temporary secretaries were made per
manent sec. etaries.
Chairmrn Young of the Co. Exe
cutives Committe?,btated before leav
ing the chair that each township
had a right to meet and orgaui.j in
the event the chairman of the town
ship executive committee refused to
call a meeting or from any other
causes the chairman should fail to
perform the duties of his cilice.
Ic was moved that each township
name its proportion of delegates to
the congressional convention, whic:I
was amended by making the present
township delegation the delegates to
the convention at Salisbury, and
that any democrat, who desired to
attend, might consider himself ap
pointed. This resolution prevailed.
E-;j. Puryear informed the con
vention that T F Kluttz, Es'p, had
notified him that excursion rates
would be given to the delegates to
the i.-onvention.
Mr Geo E Ritchie, of No. 0, offer
ed the following resolution, which
w; s unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That we heartily ap
prove the course aud record of our
representative in Congress, John S
Henderson, in the efforts he has per
sistently made since he has been in
Congress for the reform and reduc
tion of the tariff and internal reve
nue laws ; for the reform of the cur
rency bv a large increase in the cir
culating medium, and for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and
gold ; for a radical improvement of
the system of federal taxation, by
which the revenues of the govern
ment are unjustly and unfairly ex

Many surmises have been made as
to what Mr. Skinner meant. His
friends say that he was actuated by
patriotic motives, and he meant what
he said, and that there was nothing
behind it. Other say that republi
can leaders had promised not to
put a ticket in the Cold if he accep
ted the nomination, but that he
knew they would bring out a repub
lican and defeat him if he diet not
have a weapon which he could use
effectively to prevent it. The weapon
he desired was the pci mission to
threaten to withdraw the moment
they put a ticket in the tieid. L'u
less the convention gave him this
weapon, he knew the repi-.bliear.ii
would bury him and GV.r in the
same grave m November and go in
to power. He knew Nor :.h Carolina
republicans too well to trust them.
