Says the Philadelphia Times :
Mr. Cleveland has written to
Frank P. Poston, the brother of
the man killed by Clay King, in
reply to a complaint against his
sympathetic letter to King's
niece. He is surprised that the
purport of his letter has been
so misunderstood and thinks
that his critics have overlooked
the fact that it was a reply to
the appeal of "an apparently
heart-broken; woman," and
that Mr. Cleveland absolutely
declined to interfere with the
Governor in the case. He adds:
"In response to your sugges
tion that this act of mine may
result in the loss of Democratic
votes in the pending campaign
you will pardon me, I hope, if
I say that when political ex
pediency forces me to be dis
courteous to a distressed wo
man, I am prepared to retire
from politics."
General Weaver, the Peo
ple's party candidate for Presi
dent, has given out that he ex
pects to carry one third of the
States of this glorious Union.
As the Democratic party has
arranged to Tarry the other
two-thirds it looks to us as
though the Republican party
was in roran old whitewashing,
Under the circumstances would
it not be good policy for Harri
son to withdraw from the con
test, thereby saving h? credit
as an astute politician?

To the Late Democrats of the

Our Democratic" friends who
side tracked on the issues of the
eople's party and are silenc
ing tneir consciences on iue

that small Republican politi
cians have given them that the
bill is not an issue, wouia ao

son's administration backed by
every influence his official posi
tion commands urged upon con
gress the importance of the
measure. Under the party lash
the offensive measure passed
the House and was only pre
vented becoming a law by the
independent votes of a few Re
publican senators, rresiaent
Harrison meanwhile anxiously
sat in the White House ready
to sign the bill as soon as it
could pass the Senate, and its
failure in that body was the
chief political regret -of his life,
Upon that issue his party went
before the people in 18'JO and
was" most signauy aeieaieu,
but with that persistence that
characterizes the man whether
right or wrong, he again re
vives the lost cause and actually
makes it a part of his party
platform upon which to win or
fail. If his party wins in the
cominir elections every- Con
gressman, every aenator, ine

for kickers in the Senate then,
the very platform upon which
they will have been electea
rriedzes them to its support.
Can any one "doubt that it
would pass? If it does what
becomes of our principle rota

as Senator Frye said, what can
the people do? Our People's
arty friends maintain that
they must stand together or the
party can never crow to success,
That may all be true, but the
issue, in this campaign are
vital. If the Republicans win
they can laugh at you. What
matter will it be to them how
strong or numerous your party
becomes; with the force bin
they can defy your votes. Many
of the grievances you complain
of undoubtedly demand redress,
but by assisting the Republican
party you carnot hope to ob
tain relief, with ttO.OOO.OoO
annually going from the South
to support an unlimited pension
list and many pther millions to
the rich and protected Northern
manufacturer, is mere any
wonder this drain has reduced
the Southern farmer to a condi
tion of actual want? The
Democracy stands pledged to
correct these evils the Kcpub
lican party to perpetuate them.
If you would remedy the evil
strike at the root of the trouble,
now while you have a free ballot.
FREEZE OUT.
Xot to be Fooled Agrain.
An argument whict had much
to do with Mr. Harrison's elec
tion in 1888 was the claim on
the part of the Republicans
that the tariff should be revised
by its friends and ot by its
enemies." They acknowledged
that the tariff in many of its
schedules was too - high, and
that it should be reducea--that
it contained many ioeaualities
and injustices, and slould be re
vised with an eye tc their cor
rection. But they insisted that
the people should devolve that
duty upon the party that was
friendly to a moderate protec
tive system, and not to a party
which they held to e hostile to
all tariffs and was. really in
favor of absolute free trade.
As many people, who earnest
ly favored a modification of the
worse than war tariff, did not
wish to see the violent changes
and consequent disarrangement
of business which they were
taught to believe t jpeinocrats
were determined upon, they
were easily persuaded to trust
the Republicans once more.!
What was the .result? Every
E tledge in the direction of a
ower tariff and relief to an
overtaxed people was defiantly
repudiated. Instead of reduced
taxation on the raw materials
of the manufacturer and the
necessaries of life, every change
in the tariff schedules was in
the direction of higher duties.
The result is that the people
who desires relief fnin unnec
essary taxation and they com
pose an overwni'iiniug mnjoruy
of the voters have only one
parly, the Democratic, to look
to. The old cry that the tariff
must be revised by its friends
can never ue
ful prosecution of their business.
His ready, reponse was, "we
will pass such stringent laws,
that the business will become
so unprofitable that they will
be compelled to sell." Isn't
that a monstrous doctriao?
How long would it be until
some half-brained idiot would
propose some legislation which
would make stock-raising or
farming of any kind so unprofit
able for Mr. Joues that he would
be compelled to sell. Farmers
of Durham, you had better put
your thinking caps on and thor
oughly investigata these mat
ters in your common sense way
before you leave the old Demo
cratic party, tho party of low
taxes; the party of economy;
the party which believes in the
people governing through their
servants and not the servants
governing the people; the par
ty which guards the people's
liberties and which believes in
home rule; the party, and the
only party, which opposes, and
bitterly opposes federal inter
ference. in our home affairs,
especially our elections. '

The People's party and Pro
hibition speakers are bending
all their energies to persuade
the people of North Carolina
and the South that there is
nothinar to fear from the pro
posed Republican force bill.
They say it is only a campaign
buzaboo.
the author of the force bill,
Mr. Cabot Lodge, described it
as legislation, which would, if
necessary to accomplish the
object, "put a bayonet behind
every ballot." And yet third
party leaders and Prohibition-
used with effect J ists who are old enough to re-
atrain. 1 1 the people ever ex-(meinour me reconstruction

the scales of calm judgment,
knows that it is the Republican
and not the Democratic party
which is responsible for bis
grievances ; that it is a high
protective tariff that is crucify
ing his industry, and he will be
found in the Democratic ranks
at the November election.
It is desirable that a political
party shall be placed in con
trol of the government that
will, so far as legislation can
govern such matters, endeaver
to benent all classes of people
alike. The past history of the
Democratic party and the prin-
ciplei upon which its present
organization is Dasea, give as
surance that it is the party to
destroy class legislation pro
mote the general welfare.
Democratic president and con
gress. Ii the llopublican par
ty, dominated us it is by the
beneficiaries of the monopoly
tariff, there is no hope, and the
Jeople at last appreciate that
act.
We have no unkind feelings
toward the man who conscien
tiously votes the Republican
ticket. Many of them we feel
sorry for because they are de
ceived by the false promises
madi by Republican dema-
coirue". When a fellow is de
ceived by designing persons to
his own hurt, it always arouses
our sympathy. Paul clearly
proved that a man might be
conscientious and yet wrong.
The workingman who voted the
Republican ticket because he
was led to believe that the Mc-
Kinley bill would raise wages
and increase his prosperity,
wes perfectly conscientious,
but woefully deceived.
Salisbury Watchman: The
month of November is the time

citizens will not forget this, and

Weaver's Itecord.
General Weaver, as late as
1883 repeated his bill in Con
gress to pay the Federal soldiers1
the difference between the
greenbacks in which they
were paid, and goia in .-sew
York at the time they were
paid. $300,000,000 was the
amount he proposed to issue for
that purpose, but any one can
readily see it would oe insuiu
cient. It has been a pet scheme
with Weaver, and hence the
plank in the St. Louis platform
which the State Alliance of
North Carolina adopted, is at
tributed to him. If that plank
which the Third party in North
Carolina advocates, should be-
CUIlllI aiair, tug uuiuuu, nu.vu
North Carolina would have to
par would be about $11,000,000.
Don't the plain, practical far
mers of Duriiam, wno are etui
inclined to the third party,
think the program rather ex
pensive. You will have to
make money faster than ever
before if you keep out of the
way of the sheriff, provided the
legislation proposed by your
third party leader and plat
form should come to pass.
We asked an ardent third
partyiiesome time ago, how
they expected to get possession
of the railroads, telegraph and
telephone lines. They are the
property of those who pay for
them, and the constitution and
laws protect them in the law-
they expect to be on the side of
the goring bull. In this they
are likely to be mistaken. The
Republicans who will frame
this measure, will look with no
more complacency upon third
party domination in the South
than they now contemplate
Democratic.
Their object is to possess this
land and the fatness thereof
for themselves, and that bi
once passed will oppress third
partyites and Democratic alike.
The irincinles upon whie
the Republican party is base
are antarr.istic to the interests
of the raissos It .is a party
that has never been ablo to rise
to the high plane of non-sec
tionalism or to advocate meas
ures for the greatest good to the
greatest number. It builds up
a few protected monopolies ant
aon i care a ng u in so aoin? it
oppresses thousands of good (
and loyal citizens.; j
Prksidest Harrison says in
his letter of acceptance that the
"civil service law has been en
forced w ith sigual impartiality,"
and "that there has been no
partisan juggling with the law
in any of "the deparments or
bureaus." The President's mem
ory must be very bad, indeed,
if lie has forgotten in so short a
titno that the convention that
nominated him was composed
largely of his Federal oflice
holders, and that somo of his
ministers abroad got leave of
absence and came to this coun-
try and assisted in nominating
him at Minneapolis.
Reviewing Our Lives.
"mm the D.inville Time.
There is not a man living, we
dare say. who has not. at one
time or another, attempted a
review of his whole past career,
low important the task and
yet how imperfectly it must,
necessarily, be pertormed; for
the reason that we have to rely
on our memories, having made
but few notes of our lives,
Therefore, we love to listen to
the souirs of other days; the
music is sweet, but, sweeter far
are the images they recall. W e
ove. too, after an absence of
many years, to revisit our old
tomes to be reminded of by
gone days.
As we journey on, we now
and then meet with familiar
faces and objects which bring
back some portion of the past,
Perhaps they make us glad, or
it may be, that they draw tears
from our eyes; but these are on
lv glimes which we catch from
time to time, the rest is lost for
ever. e shall never meet with
anything to remind us of the
i T-..i.- .. .
vast majority oi our mougnis
and actions, and it is as utterly
impossible for memory to lay
before us our whole past career.
as it is for our eyes to unfold to
us, at a glance, all that we have
seen during a long life. It is
true a few, very few, have had
their memories quickened so as
to recall, in a moment's time,
the transactions of many years;
but, it has been when they were
in fear of immediate dissolu
tion, when they were certain of
death though it may not have
come, land when they had no
hope of earth to which to cling.
But such intensified moments
are rare.
Very often when we retire at
night, unable to sleep on ac
count of bodily pain or anxious
cares, we make the attempt to
review our past lives. We be
gin with the days of our child
hood; but, little is remembered
of all our youthful sports, or
hours of sadness. Whole years
have passed and nothing of them
now appears. v e come to man
hood, and it is almost a blank.
Our memory wanders over the1
barren waste and labors in vain
to recall many happy scenes
long since gone by. The tones
which lighted up our hearts,
tho words which wounded our
feelings, the angry looks, the
pleasant smiles, the briirht
dreams of youth, the infinite
little vexations which have wor
ried us from time to time, all,
alike have been buried in the
stream of dumb forgctfulness.
Sometime, we are driven by
remorso to repentance; but in
vain, we attempt to recall our
post ofllences. Only a few of
our transgressions are remem
bered; all the rest hare passed
impossible for us to call them
up for the purpose of review.
Life appears to have been a
dream in which we are consci
ous that we went through a vast
deal suffered much pain and
experienced much pleasure; but
we do not remember what or
when. We are conscious that
we have had many friends, but
we can not now recollect all
they did for us, nor all we did
for them. We know that we
have had enemies, but the in
sults, which once roused us, we
no longer recall. The very names
of those who once injured us,
have faded away and time has
healed the wounds. It is a mel
ancholy fact, too, that we have
to, refresh our memories with
portraits of our dearest friends.
That voice which used to fall
upon our ears with such tender
ness and melody, and that sweet
countenance which once beam
ed bo intelligently upon us, are
almost forgotten, and it is only
in our dreams that they appear
to us, as they were in life.
Although our minds are ob
livious of the past, the past has
made its impression upon us.
The tone of our feelings is sad,
although we cannot specify now
all that helped to make it so.
Troubles long since forgotten
have left their weight upon us,
and our countenances bear a
melancholy aspect from things
which happened years ago. The
mirror reflects deep furrows up
on our cheeks, although we are
in;norant now of the sorrows
which caused them.
Who, with the most retentive
memory, can form an adequate
idea of the amount of pain he
has endured or the joys he has
tasted, the sins he has commit
ted, or the good that he has
done? And yet each word and
action has had its effect on the
general result each has helped
to make us what we are.
Reader, if you will keep a
blank book, and write some
thing in it concerning yourself
not every day, for perhaps
that would be too laborious
but every month, yeu will have
the material with which to re
fresh your memory, and, in fu
ture years, the perusal of it will
afford you botl pleasure and
profit.
Senator Rauomon Wearer.
I can pardon Gen. Weaver for
fighting against us. I can pardon an
honorable foe. But I cannot pardon
him when he puts the stigma and
brand of treason upon my dead com
rades; upon your fathers and mine.
By the craves ot our heroic aeaa, l
cannot forgive him. So, no, no, a
thousand; yes, ten thousand time,
no!
Our old Mother callud upon her
hundred and twenty thusand sons.
We obeyed her call; we went and
fought, and we lost. For four years
we won nineteen out ot every twen
ty battles, but the whole woria
fought against us, ana we surrenuer-ed.
For nine years thereafter this man
branded us as traitors.
By the purity of your mother, by
the patriotism of your fathers, by
the love you bear your church and
your God, will you ratify this man's
lander upon your dead comrades t
My heart will be broken when
North Carolina votes for Weaver.
Go, tell the story to your brave
comrades. Go, publish it upon the
wuid hills : North Carolina has voted
for Weaver.
No, my countrymen, I cannot be
lieve it. We are poor, not rich, but
we are honorable and truthful moa
and women.
