COLD COMFORT.
IJr, Shuford spoke to more empty
eeats last night in the court house
isZh&n any speaker we have heard in
tf&s campaign since it has gotten
well under way. .
The Standard did not; get the,
casual courteous request to note his
sneaking but inquired to be sure it
S3 right in announcinsr his coming.
Mr. Shuford never lacks seltcon
fidence and is never in want of
sseaie thing to bemean Democrats
nAout, though as if to give weight to
iais malignity he aajs he used to be
saa Democrat. .He stands up and de
-fends fusion "with Republicans on
Sie ground that it is better to vote
.ior an avowed gold standard Repub
ican for United States! Senator
than to vote with Democrats to elect
j.u frae coinage advocate for United
S tates " Senator, for they deceive a
?ody. He frankly confessed thtt
.fusion with Republicans was some
srriiat inconsistent, but the "Demc
srata deceive" justifies all incon
tsistency, of-course.
Mr: Cleveland is the scapegoat
ior.hi3 leaving the Democratic party,
jnd the present administration of
course piled up the $262,000,000
3ond debt, Purblind as many more
a his ilk he does not seem to res
member that the Fresideuo was di8
charging his duty u$ he saw it, and
tried to be' relieved of thj necessity
of it. Whso the President acted so
bdly it is a wonder that some of his
gaily haters did not impeach hiin.
But The Standard does not
want to be severe on Mr. ' Shuford
about the administration; it is fash
ionable and dons magnificence to
many a speech that wotiJd see in
tame "without thia ringing touch.
Mr. Shuford did not do so bud on
the monev ! question; it was about
like most ordinary efforts and seemed j
to have some pretty good stuff in it.
His record seemed qui'e enviable
and we don't understand how our
Populist friends in Cabarrus drop
ped into the error of not wanting to
re-ncmina-e him. There seemed
quite a current against him in con
vention, but we could not find out
just what was the matter. They
simply whispered to us "we have our
reasons." " . . ' ; '
After the Congressional conven
tion had nominated him The
Standaed asked a Populnt friend,
'a long, keen good .one," why Mr.
Shuford got the noaiination.
"Well," said he, "the Rowan delega
tion was the strongest in the' dis
trict, and they feared that LC Cald
well might be nominated, and they
threw all their strength for Mr.
Shuford as the better of the two
and he was nominated cn the first
ballot. !
: i - "
Mr. Shuford seemed quite disap
pointed at not getting a joint can
vass with Mr. Pemberton and with
the aid of Mr! M H E Caldwell to
tell of his experience at Albemarle
made it look like Mr. Pemberton
was afraid of a joint' can yass with
him. - ' " . .
We must do the speaker the jus
tice to say that he did not speak a
word against the Republican.
That's right; look for a shining
mark to throw mud on. There is
room to misrepresent Democrats,
Towers are measured by their shad
ows, great men by their calumnia
tors. ' .
The crowd, not large at first, grew
smaller and smaller till it was rather
a formality to thank an attentive
audience. He wisely put in hJs
false and unsciupulous charges of
deceit and hypocricy against the
Democracy in the first of his speech
or they would have fallen on still
fewer ears. I
It was rather cold comfort for
Mr. Shuford, just as it should hae
been. .' ' j ; 1 -
If Mr. Hileman is to represent the
people in the legislature he should
tell them how he is going to vote on
the silver question, if not, they can
vote for a man who will. !
We asked for the news from the
county campaign , Well, said one,
there is not much, but Hileman
won't come Equarely out and say
whether he Yyll or will not vote for
a free silver Senator. i
It is a singular fact that every
Democratic candidate is willing to
place himself on record as to voting
for a free coinage Senator, but now
our. Populists say you are too parti
cular about this matter. Yet they
say they are the best friends to sil
ver and that Democrats " are not to
be trusted.
Mr. Shaford told the people that
there was not so much in free coini
age ;as some thought. We believe
he is right in this but the Populists
profess to be j the daddy of the free
xer movement and!have seemed to
think all the evil was in the gold
standard ana that alKthe relief is
in the free coinage of silver. It
looks, like b tting upon a great de
m nd abou the time yon might get
it if you would stick.

Fifty Years Ago,
t resident Polk in the White House chair,
While in lAwell -was Doctor Ayer ; .
Both were busy for human weal
One to govern and one to heal.
And, as a president's power of will '
Sometimes depends on a liver-pill,
Mr. Polk took Ayer's Pills I trow
For his liver, 50 years ago.
Ayer's Cathartic Pills
were designed to supply a
model purgjative to people who
had so long injured themselves
with griping medicines. Being
carefully prepared and their in
gredients adjusted to the exact
necessities of the bowels and
liver, tfceir popularity was in
stantaneous. That this popu
larity has been maintained is
Well marked in the medal
awarded these pills at t he
World's Fair 1893. ,
