U r.m SI.ETTEK OF At CEPTAXCE,
We do not give the full text of
th.3 jroducion, but only a few ex
tracts with comments. Inthis let
ter Mr. Re-id states the position of
.ho two jarties fairly, bo far as he
joo.", a: d with equal fairness takes
t ie responsibility of all national
legislation, since March 4th, 1859,
v; on the Republican party. He says:
"It is obvious that the really vital
issues which this year divide parties,
:iud demand a popular decision are
those relating to the tariff and the
currency. Fortunately both sides
have stated their positions on these
subjects with directness, simplicity
and fraukuess."
And then he says of the tariff:
"We favor a protective tariff and
n hen in fuil power made the pres
.r.t one. Our opponent? favor r.
:.:r';:I for revenue only, and premise
.he repeal of the present one."
Y s, that is the Democratic posis
01 on the tariff. It is not v isf i1-
n.it s.i fo, to hoard up nvny in
,e v in lis of the national tivasuiv,
v be either irg-istly appropriated
" y these in pv.vr, cr to invre ev
:ra:rar.t 1 gislation a3 was done by
(n;ies3 immediate f.-llowir"-the
t oonoaiical r-d niuiotrutioa of
Oru.er Cltvelau 1. After the lie
TV.l'Mean party decided to adopt the
eloctrine of tariff for protection, ?.nd
'.neiing a surplus already aocumn
Ltirg in the treasury, it became
necessary for them, not on!y to
Fpend the surplus but to tuake as
large a deficit as possible, s" that
they might go before the country
on the pretense that the revenue'
alreadv accruing to the rovernruent
from tie present tariff was not suffi
cient f or the expenses of the govern
ment. Now they point to the empty
vaults of the treasury and held, that
this depleted condition is an argu
meutthat any other adjustment of
the tariff than that of high protec
tion would ruin the country. The
argument would go thusly: If the
treasury is empty under high, pro
tection, what would it be under low
protection ? The Billion dollar
Congress was a necessity, politically,
and a great deal of extravagant legisi
lation was necessary to bring about
the present condition of the national
treasury. But when Mr. Reid says,
"our opponents favor a tariff for
reveme only," he only state3 a half
truth. If he had added, "economi
cally administered," he would have
been nearer the mark. The Demo
cratic position is tariff for revenue
economically administered.
On the subject of the currency
he has this to say :
"The issue between the Republi
can party and it3 opponents is al
most a3 sharply defined as on the
t riff. We demand that every dol
lar, paper, silver or gold, shall be
made and kept as good a3 any other
dollar. Our opponents, while pro
fessing the same desire, demand
that the national bant currency
shall be broken down by the repeal
of the ten per cent, tax on the is
sues of State banks. The proposal
of our opponents to sectionaliza it
again, and thus return to the State
Link srstem und.r whiuh it was
r:7(Av tonal to com. was otteti at a
j i
minors discount, aud ofi.ee vcrth
less."
And then he goes on io say :
"The danger ha3 never before been
eo great. Tie Democratic party has
often threatened tbe peace or pro n
perity of the country, but not for
one hour since March, 1850, his the
Democratic party bad po-m to con-,
trol the legislation and direct t he
policy of the United States govern
ment But the present poUiic.il
B'ltua'ioQ makes it pluin to every ob
server that a Democratic victo.y in
the States which they must now cai
ry in order to ch-ct a President,
would aho insure them enough new
Senatcra to revc-ra.1 tha present
slender majority in the United States
aenat?. If they elect a President
this time they will clearly have
both the Honse aud the Senate, too,
and will thus be placed in absolute
control for the first time since 1859,
with nothing to prevent their carrjs
ing out the threat- they have made
against both the present tariff and
the present curreucy."
Does not this, coming as it does
from the man who is a candidate
for the oTice of vice-President of
the Republican party, settle tbe
fjuestion of, who is responsible for
all the bad national legislation of
which we complain.
Can any man hesitate for a mo
ment to know how to cast his bal
lot on the 8th day of November?
We are glad Mr. Reid has spoken
and hid ihe respon. ibilty where it
justly belongs, and all Democrats
tvjll accept his statement of the case.

Weaver's men came through my

"Not content with thi3, his men

and went so far as to take the quilts
from over my poor, frightened wife,
and ia her very presence cut them
up for saddle blankets. They act

and strpped the case from it to use
as a sack to carry off potatoes.
"This outrageous action on the

Chicago, Oct. 20. The end

ceasing and never relar.ed activity
culminated today in the exercises
preliminary to the dedication of the
great white city by the gray waters
of Lake Michigan; a magic city ot
palaces sprung from a sandy waste;
a city of mighty structures, in
which the World's Columbian Ex
position will be held.
To assist in the dedications, there
have gathered here the represents
fives of the woith and intellect of
the nation; the representatives of
foreign powers, and the represents
tives, to the number of thousands,
of many civic and trades organiza
tions. The street3 and buildings
a-c decerat3d with marvelou3 inge

plentifully utilized, and a monster

Greensboro, October 20. Just a
few days over two months ago the
Obserer told its readers of the hor
rible and brutal muider of old
Solathhl Swaim while he was peace
fully ebzhig in his chair oq the
front porch of the house he lived
in. He hid been murdered and
then rviobed of a considerable amount
of niofey he was in thp habit of
carrying around with him. The
perpetrators of the foul deed, Chas.
Reynolds, a white boy, and Merimon
Headen, a negro man, were run
down and lodged in jad in a few
days after the murder, both parties
having confessed to the deed. In
less thaa a month from that time
Headen and Reynolds were con
demned to be hanged on the 20th of
October. The white boy ha3 shown
little concern about the dreadful
fate that awaits him to day and on
yesterd?y, when his aunt visited him
in his cell and wept bitter and
agonizing tears over him, he seemed
utterly unmoved. He wa3 yery
curious to learn all the details of
the execution, asking how far away
the sCiiSold wi.s and whether there
would be a large crowd to see him
or not. It was his request that the
hanging be public. The negro
Headen however, was terribly
frightened and when he talked it
wa3 in gasps. The unfortunate man
talked almost entirely about his soul
and claimed to have been converted.
The scaffold was erected about a
mile from town, near the race track.
At 1:15 the rope3 were arranged
abaut the necks of the prisoners.
While this was being done an awful
stillness came over the crowd. Every
thing having been arranged, Sheriff
Cook came down from the platform,
and at 1:27 knocked the trigger
loose, and a second later the two
bodies shot into space and two souls
K-ere in eternity.
In nine minutes after the bodies
fell, IIeaden'3 pulse ceased to beat
but thit of Peynold's continued to
flutter 12 minutes. At 1:42 both
bodies were placed in their coffins
and taken charge of by their friends.

a different state of political affairs

"Heavy taxes should be laid up

and equal relation in schools and
churches giving a fair trial, as one
of themost potent elements to break
down the detestable Buurbonism of
the Smth. The State laws against
the inter-marriage cf the race should
be repealed, and any discrimination
against the Blacks in the matter of
learning trades or obtaining employ
ment should be a criminal offense,
while tbe colored man's rights to
holel office should be tacrcdly pro
tected and recognized. A few years
of this policy will solve the race
problem satisfactorily." Kews and

The following quotation from a
speech made by Mrs. Lease at To
peka, Kan.? May 15, 1892, is intern
esting just at this time: "So far as
I am concerned I would be willing
to go into almost any arrangements
by which we could break the hack
bone of the solid South, but I have
no faith in any compact they might
make. They are treacherous. They
will betray us. They tried to break
up thi3 glorious Union, but received
a sound thrashing for their treason.
They would break up the Union
now and reinslave our colored breth
em from whose necks tbe galling
chain was severed by our martyred
President, Abraham Lincoln. Not
only the men in the South are
traitors, but thousands of mothers
are to-day teaching treason to their
children."

A Donation to Davidson.
Mr. Geo. E Wilson yesterday in
formed the Observer that Mr. J S
Carr, of Durham, hag presented the
trustees of Davidson College with
ten shares of stock in the Durham
Fertilizer Company. These shares
are of the par value of $100 each,
so Mr. Carr's donation to Davidson
College amounts to $1,000. When
it is remembered that Davidson Col
lege is a Presbyterian institution,
and that Mr. Carr is a member of
the Methodist Church, his generosity
in this instance is the more remaka
ble. It is trulyrefre8hing in these
latter days to come in contact with
a man whose philanthropy and
the narrow limits of his own res
hgious circle, but who can look
without and see good in enterprises
undertaken by people of religious
denominations other than his own ;
who recognizes merit wherever
found, and ia ever rea ly to con
tribute of his means to the good of
his fel'ow beings. Such a man is
J ulian S Carr and those who haye
any idea of his many deeds of be
nevolence will regard this as no
more than a just tribute to a gener
ous man.
We feel confident that this gift
will be most gratefully accepted by
the college, and the dividends from
the stock will be devoted very likely
to defraying the expenses of some
vounjr man who ia seeking an prona

came to Chestnuj' Btreet and said
to Mrs- Sargent:
"Friend Elizabeth, wilt thee go

picture of Charles?"
"I should be very glad to," she
answered.
"Wilt thee go this morning?" he
asked, and upon her assenting they
set otT for the studio. When they
arrived examined the portrait of
Summer, but Whittier seemed to
Mrs. Sargent to be preoccupied and
to bs in haste to call her attention
to something else. In a moment he
said:
"Friend Parker, where ia the
other?"
The artist tamed around an easel,
aud there was a portrait of Whittier
himself. The poet was as plesaed
as a boy at Mrs. Sargent's surprise,
and as she had not even known of
his sitting she was naturally nota
little astonished. Ha wa3 like a
