DEM CRATIC PLATFoBM OF 1892 ON WHICH OR- VER CLEVELAND STANDS FOR KE ELECTION. 44 Sec nd. 'We warn the "people of our common conntrj, jealous for the preservation of their free inati tntionK, that the policy of Federal control of elections, to which the Republican party has committed itself, is fraught with the gravest dangers, scarcely less than, would result from a revolution, practical ly establishing a monarchy on the ruins of the Republic. It strikes at the North as well as the South and Injures the colored citizen even more than the white; it means a horde of Deputy Marshals at every polling place, armed with Federal power; returning boards appointed and controlled by Federal authori ty; the outrage of the electoral rights of the people in the several States; antagonisms now happily abated of the utmost peril to the safety and happiness of all a meat sure deliberately and justly de scribed by a leading Republican Senator as "the most infamous bill that ever crossed the threshold of the Senate." ! - Such a policy, if sanctioned by law. would mean the dominance of a self-perpetuating o'iearcby of office holders, and the party first entrusted with its machinery could be dislodged from power only by an appeal to the reserved right of the people t resist oppression, which is inherent in all self -gov. erning communities. Two years ago this revolutionary policy wa emphatically f condemned by the people at the polls; but in con -tempt of that verdict, the Republi can party has defiantly declarud, in its latest authoritative utterance, that its success in the coming I ac tion will 'mean the enactment of . t ie Force 'bill and the usurpation of despotic ' control over the elec tions in all the States." Can any fair-minded, impartial man draw any tangible, practical and substantial distinction between the above plank in the Republican platform of 1860 and the plauk quoted in the Democratic platform of 1892, except that the position oi the two parties u exactly reversed: In .1860 the Democratic party sought by constitutional legislation to force slavery upon the people of Kansas, then a lerntory of the United States, and just about ris- ing to the dignity of a State in the Union, and Republicans denounced . them for it. And now in 1892, the Republican party seeks by legisla tion to ' iaaade and violate the rights of the Stater, held by them so sacred in . 1860, and practically destroy that balance of power on which the ' perfection and endur ance of our political faith de- I myself in 1868 voted with the KepubUcan party lor me recon struction of the Southern State under th a act of Congress of March 2nd, 1867, which put ? the ballot In the hand of the negro, and I did so as a choice of evils be tween civil government with negro safins, and military government with no suffrage at all, and just such laws for our government as a general of the army, as a depart ment commander, from headqnar ters at Charleston, S, C, might see fit in his fancy to pr scribe for the people of North Carolina. I voted with the Republican party in 1868 to get rid of the military. Could I consistently vote in 1892 for men and measures calculated to bring the military forck ? v - While negro suffrage a 'one has turned out to be bad enough in all conscience, I don't want to sup plement it now with possible and even probbJs.;nrUjtary rule on top of it- We have had enough recon struction of the South for one gen eration at least. i We have felt and realized to -its fullest extent the wisdom enucniated in the bove quoted plank . in the Republican platform of 1860, and I for one believe to-day in the doctrit.e sd vocated by Mr. Lincoln in 1860, even though it be under the color of law, that the "lawless invasion by armed force of any State, no matter under . what pretext, is among the gravest of crimes." Be iicving as I do that all other party differences pale into insignificance when considered side by side with this, and as the only hope of giying effect to my sentiments on this subject, standing now where I did in 1868, 1 shall cast my vote in this election for Mr. Cleveland in preference to Mr. Harrison. A word to you, my Peoples' party friends. A fe weeks ago you tendered me, without any so licitation, your nomination for the highest judicial office in yt-ur gift. I thanked you then and I still feel and shall ever feel grateful to you for this manifestation of confidence, though I had to decline it. Since then the Republican manager b who bold the Republican party in Noith Carolina by the throat, have as it is reported and generally believed, broken faith with you and put up a State ticket. The danger now confronts you of tnrn ng over our State government to men who fa vor the National Force bill with its attendent evils, and the vote of North Carolina might decide that contest. Let me beseech you as patriot, rebuke that spirit by your vote, and let us stand to gether and maintain invio'ate the rights of the States which are es sential to "that balance of power on which the perfection and endur ance of our political taith depends. That balance of power once sub verted any destroyed, we may bid a long farewell to the Constitu tional Republic. We may 'expect too, in ita stead, to be governed by orders from the headquarters of a military chieftain, such as your own eyes have seen in this South land not very many years ago. !

Democrats White Men Weigh Well the Conseauences Ere it Be Too Late. : , : The Raleigh State Chronicle of Sunday, -which, by-thc-way, is do ing energetic, aggressive and effective work for Democracyin the present turbulent campaign " 'of the State, savs that the chief supervisor of elections for this State has handed in to the Federal'Jadge, Seymour the jwunes- of the sHperijears; for Halifax and Johnson counties. It is reported that the timon pure Dem- ccracy will have a Final 1 n presents. tion, and constitute' the " hopeless minority ". This is some indication of what would be the state of af fairs with a force bill as the law. The Chronicle has repeatedly urged that the real safety of the liberty and property of the Southern people depended mainly upon the election of a Democratic Honss of Representatives, and then, a Demo cratic President. The Republicans well understand that if the Demo crats wiu in these two departments their hope of passing a force bill will be at an end. And they well know that, however victorious the Demo crats may be in the State elections, if their candidates for President and Congress are defeated the life of the State governments would be of short duration. Under such a force bill as the Republicans would enact into a law every State government in the South would be overthrown, at each recur riug State election, until Republican governors and negro legislators dom inated every Southern State. Such is the danger that confronts the Southern people. The conspir acy to deprive, those of the South who pay the taxe?, of the right of local self-goverument is dtep and far-ieiching. The bast3 of this cjnspiraiy is among JNorth rn lie- pubrcau mampulato;s, and i amities every Southern State. II. approaches under delusive aspects. It appeals to the. poverty of our people and holds out promises that can never be fulfilled. Its step is stealthy. Many a good-meaning voter baa been en snared by the deceptive monitor, and must be won back to the Democratic fold by argument, and not abuse. No words of condemnation can be too severe for Southern men who have joined in the lead of the movement to destroy white supremacy in the Southern States. These merit the execration of the just and the good, but the eyes of their blind follow ers must be opened by words of reason and friendly counsel And returning to our enbject we ask a careful consideration of the following important informa tion from the Baltimore Sun of Saturday "Jtis understood definitely the managers of the so-called third party in the South have concluded to ask for Federal supervision of the November election ail along the line. It is not doubted such action as this will have the effect to drive from the ranks of that or ganization many who otherwise might still have adhered to it It is known here that Republican in fluences have been actively en gaged in the South among the third party leaders,' and tempting offers have been made in behalf of the National Republican Commit tee, not only the support ot Repub lican voterp, but of money. What the Republicans are mainly after, of course, is the defeat of Demo- cratic electors in the South, as well as of the choice of anti-Democratic members of the House of Repre sentatives. But while the federal election machinery may and of course will be prostituted in the South in the interest of anti-Democratic candidates ror Congress, it cannot, under the law or the con stitution, be used to interfere in the choice of Presidential electors, which must be conducted .absolute" ly under State supervision and control." An Irresponsible Service, In the days when , the United States had a merchant marine, provision was made for the care of sick and disabled seamen, either in general hospital or, at some ports, in hospitals especially maintained for that, purpose. Every sailor con tributed from bis pay to the hospi tal fund, which was administered nnder the direction of the Treas ury Department, and physicians were appointed to look after the sailors al the leading ports. f There thus grew up what is known as the - United States Mas rine Hospital Service. In proport tion as our marine declined the service expanded. Surgeons were especially commissioned, in place of the-- local -physicians formerly employed. They assumed impos ing military titles, and as they had few seamen , to look after, their jurisdiction was extended over the public at large, and tne tsuperris mg Surgeon General issued more orders than the general command ing the army. This was tb a origin of mat surprising person, -uenerai " "This Aliens o'er the people's rights Doth aneternalvigilkeep; GOIiDSBORO. N.

JrAil adeljhia Tvnies. DragamirotT's Downfall. When there are no indications of war it is easy to find signs ot peace in events ot no great signifi cance. The retirement of General Dragomiron by tneUztr u a case in point, Dragomiroff Rnss sia's most distinguished soldier. Not o ily throughout Russia, but in military circles all over Europe, be is regarded as an oracle in all matters pertaining to the art of war. In case of the European war in which Russia should take Eart it was generally expected that ragomiroff would command the armies of hie imperial master. Now all these expectations are at an end and a great Russian general has learned, as many greater men had learned before him, that no soldier or statesman is necessary to an em pire. While it is not likely that Drag- omirofFs downfall is due to con siderations either-of war or peace, it does not follow that in case of a Rosso-German war he would not receive the command from which he is now apparently debarred. The ery qualities ' that caused his retirement are those that especially fit him for high military position in times of action. He is a man whose earnestness and zeal some times made him harsh when theee were checked he was too apt to display a hasty temper. Nat urally the display ot these qual ities made him enemies both in the army and at court. In giving cnence to other men tl high rank in the empire it was inevitable that he should annoy and in the end offend the Czar. it this is now averred has been the case and his downfall is the result. The incident is only interesting on this side of the Atlantic as the latest of many similar affairs in Eu ope during the last few years. The most noteworthy of these, of course, was tne downialJ ot Jrrince Bismarck. No man of his time bad given such valuable service to bis King, upon whom the states man bestowed an empire as well as the title of emperor. But Bis marck found that the hereditary authority of an emperor is stronger even in Germany than that of the great Minister by whom the em pire was created. Signor Crispi, in Italy, also imagined himself in- dispensible. only to discover his mistake. In J? ranee, Uoulanger was one day the man on horseback, the idol of the army and of the multitude, to find himself the next, self exiled and to die besmirched and degraded on a suicide's grave.

SENATOR HIIiTj SPEAKS. Buffalo the Scene ol reat Knihnlasi , Last Nljrht. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 24. -The Democratic campaign in western New York was ushered in to-night witn a grand mass meeting at Mesie ball. Senator Hill was the magnet which drew together the vat throng that crowded the im mense building to its utmost ca pacity. The ilenatori reception war ot the " most enthusiastic de scription. Through a multitude of cheering spectators, flanked by a line of red fire, escaping a dis play of pyrotechnic, the Senator was escorted from bis hotel to the hall bf the Cleveland Democratic club, six hundred strong. When the Senator took his , seat on the platform there was a great nproar of applause. Congressman Lock" wood presided and called the meet ing to order a few minutes before 9 o'clock. After some preliminary ies. Senator Hill was introduced and advanced to the front of the stage, amid cheers. After stating that he was present to aid in the promotion of Democratic princi ples and to advocate the election of Cleveland and Stevenson, the Senator said : "For over ten years it has been my custom at each annual election to appear before my fellow citizens and contribute my share toward the discussion of the political questions of the hour. Yon do not believe that this cams paign would prove an exception to the usual rule and yon are not disappointed. Among honorable men the loyal discharge of politi cal duty out-weighs all mimr cone siderations and in this crisis of our country's history and in this great emergency in our party affairs in dividual disappointments, or even alleged personal injustice, should be subordinated to the faithful per foimanceof political mitigations, not as a matter of expediency, but from a high and stern sense of duty. "Permit me to suggest that we have all of cs now a mission to ful fill. Petty jealousies must be dis missed, regnlar organizations must be ytpected, party decipline must be enfbrced, dissension must be healed, and apathy must give way to enthusiasm, in order that the grand old party, to which we are proud to balong may secure the triumph of right principles and work out the noble destiny which onght surely to await it. The conn trolofthis government. for many years to come by one or the other of the two great politieal parties is the prize at bazard in the pending contest in which all other consid erations should sink into insignifi cance." iteternng to tne declara tion he had made last February at the Democratic State convention at Albany that the choice of a standard bearer was a matter of little importance compared with that supreme object, a Democratic victory next November, the Sena tor declared that he had meant what he said then, and reiterated it now. He said that the test of the true Democracy was the sup port of the party nominations irre spectiveof questions of personal pride or ambition or individual preferences. The Senator then entered into an elaborated discus sion of the tariff ' question very much upon the lines of his Brook lyn speech and afterwards devoted some time to the consideration of the Forc3 bill, which he denomi nated dangerous exercise of consti tutional authority, a menace to our theory of government and an in sult to the people of the South, He thought if the .Republicans earned the coming election they would again endeavor to pass a force bill in order to make themselves the arbitrator of every Federal elec tion. He closed by saying : We must diligently exert ourselves to oppose this great issue of every centralization, which certainly con fronts ua. It presents a more seri ous problem than any commercial, luuusinai or nnanciai uuwuvu. And is more essential to the pres ervation of our institutions," - Every point in the Senators speech was punctuated with ap plause and at its conclusion there was a ereat -outburst, men .Lieu tenant-Governor Sheehsn and John Temple Graves, of Georgia, spoke briefly. Advance In Arctic Exploration. The sate return of Lieutenant Peary and his party from their sue cessful expedition into , the- frozen reeiona ot tne Hortn, with tne loss of their number, suggests that Arc- tie exploration may hereafter be pursued without the appalling dangers that attended It in the past, science Has made so mane conquests over the forces of natury that nothing can be called impos sible. It is not merely improve menu in navigation, but improve ments in the preparation of food and the means -of sustaining life and health, and in jthe systematic ordering ot distant enterprises, that are gradually reduciBg the risk of Arctic travel, juBt as they have re duced if not overcome the various perils which the early transatlantic voyapers encountered. The navi gation or tne northwest passage may be still a dream, but it does not seem visionary to believe that the whole frozen zone may vet be traversed and tne .Northern yield up its mystery. po:e As long as there is anything to be learned, any blank spaces re maining on our maps, there will be daring souls, eager to penetrate the unknown. Lieutenant Peary has given an excellent example of how thv; spirit of adventure 'may be turned to profitable account when governed by knowledge and prac tical sense. It is safe to conclude that lurther explorations in the same direction will be made on the lines he has laid down, and will be facilitated by his experience. There seems to .be no question that young Verhoeff, who went out with Peary and did not return, was a victim of the adventurous spirit impatient of sensible control. He was evidently ambitious of accomplishing something by him-i self, and whether intentionally abandoned his comrades or was ac cidently lost, the practical result is the name. His sister naturally, clings to the belief that he is living, but it mnBt be crnel to encourage such a hope. This accident is the only cloud upon the happy home coming of the Kite, and it does not diminish the honor due to Peary and his comrades, and to Heilprin and to the venerable Academy that sustained the expidition. Phtta. Times. The Records or Two AUianee dents Contrasted. Presl- Ashbvillr, N. C, Sept 7. The Senatorial convention of 34th dis trict was held here to-day. Mr. J, S. Davis, of Haywood, and Mr. J. M. Campbell, of Buncombe, were unanimously nominated. Mr, Davie in bia speech of acceptance, said he was a farmer and an Allianceman, and was proud of it, and had no war to make on the farmers who had at tached to .the third party. Mr, Davis, in speaking of who was the true friend of the farmer said : Let me driw a ntrast between the ex- president of the farmers' Alliance, Mr. Elias Carr, and Mr. Marion Butler, the present president of the Alliance, and the moving spirit of the Third party in North Carolina to-day. Mr. Carr while president of the Alliance was allowed $300 and expenses. I know it to be a fact that the last year of his presidency of the Alliance he only drew $150 of his salary and not one cent for bij expenses. Mr. Butler on the other hand drew the $300 allowed by the constitution and charged for travel ing near $600, and besides this, bor rowing $475, making a total of something over $1,300. At the State session of the Aliiance a few weeks ago, at Greensboro, a resolu tion was passed cancelling said debt of $475. Mr. Davis said he was at Greensboro at the meeting of the State Alliance and knew the above to be facts; and again, whan Butler came here to Asheville last Uctober to organize a lecturer's bureau for this district for the Alliance, was he considering the interest and econo mony of the farmers of this Estate when he, a self-confessed poor man, stopped at the Battery Paik hotel, at from $3 to $4 per day, while Messrs. Davis and Bell, "whose ex penses like Butler's were paid by the order stopped at a. nice respectable hoarding house for $1 per day. Why! Mr. Davis says, that tbey looked all over the citj for Butler before they found out where he was stopping. This may appear to be a small thing but don't : straws sometimes show. which may ; the wind blows,! and is it cot enough to make the alliancemen of the State, ere it is too late, to stop and conside; who really are their friends, honestly and truly working for their relief Butler, who is trying to lead them into a political party, or such honest, hard working farmers as Messrs.
