if PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY, y ; ' CQNCORDJiC BY JOHN B. SHERRII-l-i ' : . editor and Proprietor. THE CIIARI.OTTE NEWS I - AltOt'T lS. .' In a recent issue The News said : r 4ure to carry tbe next election. The CpJfCOKD Times copies the arov and comments on it a foUows : rattier lose tnan to: wlnon such a plaoro. Ia other words, if the Democratic party were to declare for free coinage at ' the ratio of 16 to 1, and the BepubU SnXLld standard, The Coscosd Times would rather Jospthan' win--tfduld rather see the Republicans defeat the Democrats. , The above is the beginning of col nmn lortnre which the Charlotte News read The Times in Its issue of last Friday. ! The News says in this article that, like Tom Watson, we do do not know'"vhere we are atand suggests ' that an examining board be appomwa to find out. We wish to inform our much esteemed contemporary that we ara exactlv where we have always been, and that is sqiarely on the Democratic wfm wHVi nil lhe feet we have. We riuuviu. -T . - - defy th News, or any other "blind worshipper" of the free silver cauio show that we are not oft the Demo cratic platform and that we. do not advocate the eternal principles of De mocracy. We have thrown this de fiance at the .News before, and until, it shows that. our .claim is not. substan tiated by . our position it should not make a'spcctacle of itself by setting up . the barf and ridiculous claim that The 'l-m.ES ii "lending itseflf to the dissemi nation of llepublican doctrine." -'f- ... Suchjan assertion ii amusing comirg : from the Charlotte News, or any: paper which advocates free silver at 16 to 1. This doctrine is the very backbone of the ropulist party.' It is not only a plank pf tbir platform, but it is their - platform. On the other hand, , the . Democratic party has always benop posed to it and in favor of sound money: It is the oldest political party in the. United States. It has held a national convention every four years since it; was formed, and at not a single one of' these conventions has it ever declared for free silver at 16 to 1, or anything appsoaching it. The man who asserts, then, that the doctrine of sound money is a distinctive Republi can doctrine either exposes his ig- ' norance and makes himself ridiculous or else knowingly falsifies. . He may take whichever form of the dilemma he may choose. Democratic newspapers . -hke the News, -and Democratic politicians like many we could name, leaning to Pop ulism jby advocating free silver, has done not only the .Democratic party . much to retard prospenty and to injure - the credit and standing of North Caro- lina in'the financial world. :v li me party, or any wing ot it, 18 wrong,! we admire the man who has the manhood to stand up before it and tell it so. The world has no usefor men who are afraid to 6tem the tide of pop- lar errQr, but who instead float helpless with the tide. They have a right to do this, to be sure, but they have no right to set tip a false standard and berate "" 'those who refuse; to fight under this standard. i ' ... Many of these are for free silver be cause they think the dear people' 'are for . free silver. One . of these days they are going to awake to a knowledge of their "error, and then they will break itheir necksj falling over each other ; in deserting ' the free silver Bhip. ; Others of tnem are honest, while others are for free filver because the State Democratic platform has so declared, and they do not stop to ask themselves whether or not it is right They forget that the National Demo ' cratic platform, which alone has the right to speak for the whole party on question for national legislation, : has never in the whole history of the party declared for free silver at the ratio of 16 to I ef gold. The very last Demo cratic I national Convention actually .v voted down a proposition to insert the word "free" in the platform in con nection with silver. Now, a word in; regard to - the De mocracy f The Times. We yield the ... palm 'to no one for devotion to the cause ; of , Democracy. We love the party for its traditions and its princi pies ; we love it for. its few triumphant victories and its many honorable defeats. ja aevouorr 10 it nas cost t us some thing,! too. When other papeis which now boast of their Democracy and, like - the Tharisee. of old, tnank the Lord . that they are not as other men, even these gold bugs, were dallying with the ' Farmers' Alliance, tvhich was the Third party in its embryo, state, TnE Times itood up against the evil which It saw; v- approaching and f ought it with all the vigor it cduld command. -. It lost sub- ecribers and patronage, but this did not deter it. We hewed to the line and kept ia the middle "of the -road, and are right there to-day. . , Our position may not suit the Charlotte News, which &&S strayed alter-laise goas, out it is exactly the position of the Democratic party. .When the Democratic party deserts ; Its I time-honored principles it' will no longerbe the Democratic party. The free coinage of silver, we verily believe, would contract our circulating medium and produce panic and untold disaster. - Would we be wiling, to see the country visited with these in order to see the Democratic' party succeed Such? a question needs no answer. No sir, Ivdther News, we said exactly what w meant and meant exactly what we 6aid. . - - t 1 .- - . .

The following is an extract from the plalform adopted 4 by . , : the. Nebraska Democratic State convention, held at Lincoln on the 5th of September: . ; We send greeting and congratulations to'Grover Cleveland and cabinet, not only for their wise and. prudent step which has aided so much in bringing about the better financial condition, but also for their , firm and fearless adherence throughout the long depression to sound principles of economics; for their just conception of the rights- of the whole people, and for their unswerving fidelity m upholding and protecting the honor and integrity of the ' nation against organized mob violence. . This suggests a fact to which hardly sufficient prominence has been given to-wit: that Chauncey M, Depew, of New York, said in Europe during his recent visit there, that Grover Cleveland has twice saved the United States; once when he stepped into the . breach and protected it from mob- violence and again when he compelled the repeal .o: credit with its attendant national bank ruptcy. It is an interesting fact that a JNorth Carolina -Republican had made the very same remark two wet ks before Mr. Depew. Democrats should blush when they realize that ; they: , deny Cleveland even that justice -which his political enemies do him. ' - A Mother Charged with Abdaetln? Her " " CMla.

The sheriff declared his belief in a supernatural intervention and so did the thousands of spectators, many of whom were relative and friends of Purvis, and no- further attempt-at ah execution, was had.t But a hew trial was secured t and -another,? conviction followed. There is greaf opposition to a second hanging of Purvis,' who was convicted Dn circumstantial evidence, and strong pressure will be brought to bear on the Governor to commute the death sentence.

I . . - The prospects for democratic success in 1896 are growing brighter day by day. J A year ago ho conservative ;man with Anvrmrard for his reputauon as a profit or as a mantof truth and veracity wnnld have ventured a prediction of an early revival of . Democratic hopes, hut now that the free silver craze is naasins away. the prospects of Democrat ic harmony and ujnity are much impro ved. The elections next month" may be disappointing,! the Democrats may recover no lost sxOund :they may even meet with reverse in. states like Maryland and Kentucky, wjbich have heretofore been regarded as reliably Democratic, but they learn some salutary lessons. They, will learn, among other things, that a house divided agains itseii can not stand, and they may profit by the lesson. The party can not consistently advocate and condemn a particular pol icy at one and the same tune, and can not harbor antagonistic elements that keep up a continual warfare within the party. Defeat in Kentucky would oe more a blessing than a misfortune There the platform represents one tiling and the candidate another thing in dismetric opposition Party.: loyalty may pull the candidate through, but nartv lovaltv could . never stand such another strain, i Whatever- the" result, Democrats will be wiser in the future, and the example pf Texas in 18VM aud Kentucky in 189$ will not be repeated. The party will be! united upon both can didate and platform next year, and that means a - better prospect for success; even though the ranks should be de serted by many who can better be spared than retained as disturbing elements North Carolina. Mormon. tion.has been attracted thie week : to a letter sent by a committee of twenty, which included One or more Protestant clergyman, to jthree. Mormon elders who recently announced their intention of organizing a Ichurch at New HilL m this - county, and of subsequently bniiding a house Of worship. ; The letter. which the Mormons -carried to Governor Carr, was turned! oyer by him to the prosecutor of this district, who says that he ; is not called on to r indict the writers, as they have committed no statutory off ejnse; that there is noth ing to show that a conspiracy has be formed to run the elders out of the county. He thinks the . Mormons ? are unduly -sensitive. But they probably have in view the! i summary punishment some of their brethren received - at the end of the-lash V in a western county last year, after they had induced number of girls to go to Utah with them The Mormons, however, in this case do not seek to form emigration parties for Utah, but porpose to establish their church here, with the features of po lygamy eliminated This . feature they aeciare is not practiced any more , in this country and) is no longer th ,essen tial part of their faith. r CANCER CURED - -AND A LIFE SAVED By the Persistent Use of ; ; I was troubled for years with a sore on my .knee, which several . physicians, who treated me, called a cancer, assuring me that nothing 'r. - could be done to save my life.
