Tbe meeting of Glenn and Butler at StatesTille last Thursday resulted in a field day for Democracy and in the otter confasion of the unstable apostle of the Third party th said Marion Butler. The Statesville Landmark gives an extensive account of the occasion, from which we make the following c ipping : Mr. Glenn then proceeded to tell of the various Democratic efforts to reduce the tariff on the necessaries of life, some successful and some un successful, by reason of Republican opposition. Hia treatment of the tariff was clear, cogent and convinc ing. I can't believe, said te, that a man who fears God or loves his country will dare to tell this people that the Democrats have made no effort to re duce, the tariff. One hundred and forty-six mil lion dollars are now paid out yearly in pensions to Federal soldiers. Some of these were uever in 1,000 miles of a battlefield, never heard the ehriek of a shell or the whis'le of a bullet It is a shame and an outrage that men should draw pensions for in juries received while - applying the tortch to Southern barns, or raiding Southern hen roosts. Did you ever hear of a Republican Prenident veto ing a pension bill ? Tbe only man who had the courage to do it was the very man Mr. Butler is going about over the State abusing and de nouncing as unworthy of your sup port. S hy don't you tell the peo ple this, unless you are merely an aid to the Republican party? You haye not one solitary word to say against Harrison. Why is it that you have so much abuse for Demo crats and not a word to Bay against Republicans ? It is passing strange. It looks like you were working in the interest of Harrison. Mr. Glenn then drew a contrast between Cleve land and Weaver in tbeir treatment of the South. He told of the South ern men Cleveland bad honored with positions in bis cabinet and on the Supreme bench. He was the first President in many years who con sidered Southern men worthy to rep resent the flag of the country in for eien court?. He told how Weaver had vilified and abused the Southern people, long years after the war, read extracts from - his speeches, and showed up bis record while mili tary commander in Tennessee. None but a coward would strike a man who is down. Mr. - Butler, I appeal to your patriotism. Can you indorse all the damnable things said against your people by J. B. Weaver? Was your father in the war? (Mr. Butler nodded in the affirmative.) Weaver says your father was a traitor, and a man hating, woman-selling scoundrel. Tell this people how you can sup port Weaver. . I would be unworthy of my father and my country if I uttered any word of praise of that man who had applied to us these epithets. (Mr. Glenn then read other extracts.) These are the ut terances of the man who vilified your father and mine. If your father is living he is ashamed, of his son Marion Butler. If he is dead I, tbe ' son of another Confederate soldier, . am ashamed for that dead father, of his son. Marion Butler. - Weaver id in favor of paying the Federal soldiers over again. On yes terday 'Governor" Exam said it was riht to pay them. Will yon say it? wwant yon to tell this people in your honor and a naif reply x on say the Democratic party is the enemy of silver coinage. The first; free coinage act that of 1837, was passed by tbe UeEcratic party, it yon want to be hoiest, why don't yon tell the whole truth! Why doo't yon tell them that in the Forty fourth -Congress a . Democratic House passed a silver bill which was defeated by a Republican Senate; that in the next Congress it passed a Democratic House and Senate, and was vetoed by a Republican -PreBi dent; and was finally passed over his re to? r You abuse the Democrats for doc passing the Stewart bill. f ask vovt to say if yon are in favor of th Stewart oiu. wrote to r. vjeie land t learn his views on the silver question. He is not in favor of in flation He doesn't believe in a silver doliar worth only 68 cents. That wonld be to com a he and stamp the eagle on it. He believe3 that a dollar of silver ought to be worth a dollar in gold. Ou this basis he is in favor of the free coinage of silver. Mr. Glenn told of a conversa tion he had with a Third partyite, who said that "his folks" had told him if he voted for Weaver he would get $50 apiece for himself and each member of his family. The government was going to print" it and send it to the clerks of the court to distribute. This was a delusion ' worse than the forty acres and a mule. Mr. Bell told me that he asked Boiler why he left the Democratic part, and Butler replied: "Became they voted against the free coinage bur' Bell asked how maeh would that bill have added to the circulation, and Butler replied: "About 33 cents per capita." If that is so, yon sold oat for 33 cents and yon are worse than Judas Iscariot. He received thirty pieces of silver as tl e prie of his treachery. Judas Iseartot went out and banged him . ...... self and I advise yon to do the same (Mr. Butler denied Laying to'd Mr. Bell thit) Mr. Bell says that you said it, and a number ot other gentlemen toid me they heard you say it, aud I will as soon believe them as Marion Butler. In 1888 yon eapported Mr. Cleveland, both in your paper and on the stump. My mend, you studied law once, and yon know what estoppel is. Yon told the people then that Cleveland was worthy of their sup port. Were you telling the truth then, or are yon tehing it now? The idea of Mr. Butler criticising Mr. Cleveland! What d you sup pose Grover would do it he knew yon were down here criticising him? Who is Grover Cleveland? A Third party voice: A rascal! The man who says that is a greater rascal than Grover Cleve land ever was. Third party voici; Didn't he pat a nigger in powei? "Yes, he did. Do von complain of that? Bat I saw a sight tosday never, before witnessed in North Carolina. I saw yonr white men riding side by side, cheek by jowl. with the blackest negroes in the county. And I saw in that proces sion an old white horse never seen in any sort ol procession before (This was Dr. Mott's white horse, bestrode by a Republican) Butler and the Weaveriteasay to the government. "Issue money ! issue money ! ! " lhey think the government can print in any quantity and give it to the people. Did you ever hear such nonsense? Butler says the Force bill is a email hear ; that the Dem icrata are keeping it before the people in order to delude them and blind their eyes to the true issues. I it a dead issue ? Reid sirs it is not dead. The Republican plat' I'orui, in which the party is solemn ly pledged to its passage and en forcement, Bays it is not dead. President Harrison says it is not dead. The Ocala convention, ot which Mr. Butler was a member, took the trouble to denounce it in unmistakable terms. They did not think there was no danger in it. And yet yon have the tffrontery to stand np before a God-fearing peon pie and say there is no danger in i?; tlut it is a mere delusion and a blind. ; - What is Weaver's record on this matter? He was in favor of a more infamous force bill than that which now threatens the liberties of tbe South. In the Forty-sixth Con gress, when an amendment was introduced to take away the eol diers from the polls. Mr. Gai field stood shoulder to shoulder with the Democrats in this just fight, and helped them . with his voice and vote. But there was one man who did everything in his power to de feat the amendment. He made speeches against it, and said : "Let the soldiers remain at the polls." That man was J- B. Weaver. Tell the people, Mr. Butler, whether yon endorse his coarse. . Why should we have a cb.au ge in the State government? Is not Elias Carr an-honest man? Has not the Democratic administration of State affairs been pare, honest, able and unobjectionable? I pat this ques tion to Mr. Butler and I ask him to answer it : Are yon not, deep down in your heart, ashamed of your candidate, isxnm? Will. you giye the people an answer to that simple question? A hundred men stand around me who heard Mai. Bobbins ask yon if yon would sup port the Democratic State ticket, and you said you would, tie ask ed yon if yon wonld support Cleve land, and yon replied, if the Dam ociatic State Convention said so. You went to that convention and participated - m its deliberations t jnst as I did. Mr. Butler there is a man now sranuing so cioee to yon yon might touch him with your right hand, who went to that con" vention and supported Gov. Holt. He was a little disgruntled be-. causa his candidate failed to re' ceive the nomination. But yon patted him on the back and said "Oldelflow, we beat you fairly. Now go home and work for Khsa Carr." Others here heard you say it. Deny it if you can. Today that man is wot king lor Elias Carr, and you are moving heaven and earth to defeat liiin. Mr. Glenn then read extracts from the Caucasian, in which Mr. Butler said he would support the ticket headed by Elias Carr under any aud all circumstances. Fellow citizen", this man ta'ke about a subsidized pre8 and news paper lies.. . He ought to. know something about them. He is the editor of newspaper himself. In conclupion Mr. Glenn deliv ered to Mr. Butler a raeesage from Mrs. Senator Vance, The scene was intensely dramaiie. It was the oiily time Mr. Butler showed any emotion. During the hour and a halt of stern denunciation and vitriolic irony, he scarcely winced under the burny lath. But now he blanched visibly. "His coward lips did from their color fly," and his eyes dropped, unable to meet Mr. Glenn's naze. Notliins but Sixty-Cent Dollars. The attempt to get up a "busi ness scare" about the currency to the advantage of the Republican party must strike a calm observer as more than commonly idiotic. The one overshadowing danger to our financial system at present. prt from the tariff, is the contin uing menace of tbe Sherry an act, with its bteady substitution oi sli ver for gold. Ou this point, as in its whole treatment of the subject. its demand that "the dollar unit of coinage of bulh metals mut be of equal intrinsic and unchange able yaluo" and that "all currency shall be at par with aud redeemable in such coin" the Democratic platform is most clear and cut spoken. The difference between the parties lies in the comparative obscurity of the Republican Decla rations, which avoid the Sherman act and all suggestion of remedy. That is the only occasion for a scare . There is an apparant agreement among the administration orators and organs to divert atteution fr am the present unsatisfactory and dangerous condition of the currency by point ing out the inferiority of the State bank currency in use before the war. This is much as though a steamboat engineer who was warn ed that his boiler was in da jeer of exploding should call attention to the number of lives formerly lost by the wreck of sail boats and ca noes. Governor McKinley devoted a good deal of time the other night to extolling the merits ot national bank notes. All that he said was quite true, as history, but he neg lected to mention the important fact that national bank notes have almost gone out of use and now form but au insignificant part of our currency. Actually the bulk ot onr circulating medium at this time consists of silver dollars and their paper representees. To in sist that no chane thall be made or suggested, is simply to insist upon the accepta- ce ot a debased silver standard. This and nothing else is the log ical meaning of Mr. Blankenburg's resolutions adopted by the meeting of "business men" yeste day. Phila. Times.

Strength of the Third Party In North Carolina, The llaleigh Chronicle of yester has a straightforward and unbiased account of the Weaver celebration in the Capital c'ty on Thursday, from which" scared" Democrats can behold the " bug-bear " and take heart for victory in November. The Chronicle says: Two weeks ago chairman S. Otho Wilson said there would be people here from fifty counties to greet Gsn. Weaver. For weeks there had been persistent efforts by him and all the Third party machinery to get a crowd here. There were great ex pectations and quiet hints of "2,000 mounted men ", and that sort of thing. Early yesterday morning it was stated by Mr. George L. Toun offski that 15,000 people would come here to give Weaver a welcome. These thiDgs will show how high the Third party workers had pitched their estimates. The performance fell sadly short of the promise. Quite a number of newspaper peo ple were present and some of these were ca the pavilion. Mr. Thad. E. Horton, of the Atlanta (Ga.) Journal, who was present, was treated with great discourtesy, Chairman Wilson stating that Mr. Horton could have no seat on the platform. Mr. Horton had the Pulaski affidavits ready, but as Weaver m?.do no allusion to the Pulaski matter there was no necessity for him to use them. THE SPEAKING. It was 11:30 o'clock when the exercises at the park began. There were not over 2,000 persons present, and the most conservative estimate was that a third of these were Dem ocrats ; there was besides a large ele ment of Republicans and boys. From Johnston county above 150 Demo crats came in a body. Cleveland badges were plentiful and plenty of good Democratic literature was given away. At the hour named chairman Wilson, in a few words of welcome, introduce! Gen. Weaver as " the next President of the United States Gen. Weaver came forward, and after applause addressed his remarks to the "ladies and gentlemen", but it was a noticeable fact that the ladies were very few in number, there be ing not over a dozen present. Gen. Weaver entered upon a review of his canvass, which began at Denver, Colorado, giving an account of the elaborate receptions which he said had been given him throughout. He theu gave a brief account of the tour through the Southern States, not mentioning the welcome accorded him on this part of the trip. He declared it was a privilege to address the people of North Carolina, the home of L. L Polk. He discussed the origin of the Farmers' Alliance and then spoke at full length, on its purposes, &c. He failed, with one notable ex ception, to touch a single plank in the St. Louis platform,, but dealt alone in generalities. The "sliver plank," however, he did not let slip, but with great enthusiasm declared that hia party would have unlimited coinage of silver and the circulation would be raised to $50 per head 'and we all will have plenty of money this is our platform." The speaker in many instances heaped words of abuse upon the Democratic party. The Congress which - failed to pass the silver bill was especially denounced. A political speech with less argument and a speech calculat ed to teach the people less about the issues of the day it has never been the privile of any people to hear, unkss it was that or tin stump com panion, Mrs. Lease. With a few re marks of thanks for the close hear ing given him for an hour and a quarter, he then took his seat. Mr. Wilson then introduced Mrs. Lease, of Kansas, who catered at once upon a defence of women enter ing the present campaign and of her own entry into the arena of politics. Her gpeeeh was extremely oratorio Jl and declamatory, but as a political effort was of no value. Denouncing the old parties as "old rascals," she made some ot the wildest statements, to the effect that they are dyins:, dis integrating and passing away. She said she was the only vtjman in t! e United ttateswho had practiced law "in both th upper and lower courts." She concluded her speech, not hav ing touched upon the itsue3, without any argument, and failing t suggest any remedy for the wroDgs which she declared she ci.rae to point oat G. n. Weayer read a telegram from Terre Haute, Ind., in regard to tha political situation in that State. Chairmau Wilson proposed three cheers for "Weaver and Field" t nd three cheers for Mrs. Lease. These were given. Thr:n there were calls for Exam, but there was no re sponse. Mr. Wilson made a short appeal for ccmpaign fund3, after which the crowd dispersed without further demonstration. Gen. Weaver escorted Mrs. Lease to the carriage and with Mrs. Weaver and Mr. Wilson they were driven to the Yarboro. At 5 o'clock they left, via Wsldon, for Kocky Mount. 1 his is "Iieform"Gratitudo. . Id the account of tbe Weaver demonstration at Raleigh Thurs day we read that one of the ban ners carried in the procession bore this d j vice ; "Let Senator Vance do the will of the people or resign." In one of Shakespeare's match less plays we read that when Olh er de Bois, angered with his brother, drove him from hia presence, he tnrned to old Adam, their servant and said: "Get you with him,you old dog!7' To which Adam answered : "Is 'old dog' my reward? Most true i nave lost my teetn in ronr service." For more than a", third of a cen tury Senator Vance has been the servant of the people of North Carolina. ITe has given to them the years of his young manhood,of his matnrer life and now of his approaching old age. During all this time until now; during the years of war when his clarion voice and flashing eye nerved the hand of the North Carolina soldier and when his genius and devotedless to his troops united to put shoes on that soldier's feet; during recon struction, when danger more terrio bie than that of war beset, an when one after another yielded to the temptation set before him; during 1876; when the battle of the giants was on, and the calcium light was turned upon his record by his adroit adversary; during his service from '76 until now, as Governor and Senator, never until this time has it been suggested by any oae that this man was lacking in fidelity to the interests of his people. The vigor of his manhood is gone has been since 1376 when he made the great campaign by which North Carolinians came again to their own; he has lost an eye in their service working all night as well as all day that he might equip himself thoroughly to fight their battles on the Senate's fljor. And this is his reward: "Let Senator Vance do the will of the people or resign." Thess are not the people they once were; a distemper has seized their brains. The great "war Governor" and the great post-war Senator may console himself with this reflection, and say with Adfm: "God be with my old master! He would not have spoke such a word."

From Senator .Vance's recent open letter to the people of North Carolina we copy the following con cluding paragraphs as peculiarly ap propriate and pertinent : : But if the considerations of good faith do not influence men's actions in such a case as this, surely those who pertain to the public wel fare ought to be decisive. If not satisfied with Mr. Cleveland it stems to me an honest mau should balance accounts, pro and con, in this way : Cleveland agrees with uie in desiring to reform, the oppressive tariff taxa tion, to restrict the abuse of cor porate privileges, to repeal the tax on State banks and thereby to ex pand the currency, and above all he is vehemently opposed to Force bills and all similar attempts to destroy the rights and liberties of the State. In all essential reforms he agrees with me except in the single matter of the free coinage of silver, and in respect to this there is reason to hope that the same candor and vigorous investigation which brought him in full sympathy with his party on the great question of tariff reform will soon bring him to see the absolute necessity of maintaining both of the prec'oas metals on a par to meet the urgent needs of the currency of the world. Harrison, on the con trary, agrees with me in nothing; there is no change or reform which I desire that he is not bitterly opposed to, and his party with him. Why, then, should I hesitate? Either my vote for Weaver will help Harrison and injure Cleveland or it will not it cannot avail Weaver, for he has no chance whatever, will probably not carry a single State; why then should I risk doing a damage to the candidate who would do most for me, though he does not promise to lo all, and contribute to the election of the one who promises me nothing but an in definite continuance of existing wrongs and an insolent threat of other and greater wrongs so 30on as he has the power to perpetate them? "It seems to me, fellow citizens, that the path of duty was neyer more plain, or the necessity of walking in it more imperative than it is at this moment. Let me beg your earnest consideration of the situatiou be fore you cut loose from the old con stitutional Democratic party, which in times of our extreme peril ha3 so often brought us forth out of the house of bondage, and abandon its shinirg banners to follow rockless and incompetent men into the wil derness of their unreal schemes. Think well of the possible result of your action; how easy it is to des troy, how hard to rebuild. I recent ly cnt down iu my mountain home, in about five hours, a tree that had taken five hundred years to grow.

Your fellowcitizen, - Z. B. Vance. THE GREAT OBSTACLE TO FARM ING, Correspondence of the Charlotte Observer. Little Mills, N, C. Sept. 28. Just a few words. It is with sin jcere hope that I trust the farmers will ponder well tae views of Gen. Barringer on the tariff. Your correspondent has had quite a large experience as a farmer, and, I may add, possiblv on as good land as you may find m the State and per haps has made more per acre or per "mule power, considering the expense, than any ooem the state. Like Gen. Barringer, I have of fered prizes, rented, hired, worked on halves; in fact, tried every con ceivable way. -For the last few vears my hands and, my self could not have worked harder and lived mortTecomically. But instead of making any money, I have lost money, and to-day I am a poorer man than I was five years ago, while my land will aot bring half the money, notwithstanding it has been well kept up in every partic ular, as the results from the press ent crop will demonstrate. And now why is thw the l.actf In my opinion discrimination against thelfarmer answers the question, and in the particulars thereof, it cannot be better answer ed than in the views set forth by Gen. Barringer tariff tax. Aone horse farmer will buy something like this bill and pay a tax accord ingly, says the Rocket :- Articles. Cassimere suit.

J o do this, fellow- farmers of North Carolina, the only hope that I can see is to vote the Democratic ticket and for Cleveland. Your correspondent was a strong member of the alliance, hoping through its channel to do some thing to alleviate the present con dition of the farmers. I am a young man with no family, and not compelled to farm; but having been raised on a farm, 1 like the business,and want to see the farm ers succeed and success is almost at our door if we will only stand together. I regret the course of many of our alliancemen who have espoused the cause of the People's party. But I am sure if they will give the subject thought, all will be right by JNoyember next. Jtvery other occupation m this country yields a larger return for the capital invested, and the labor, intelligence and ability employed than farming. This is why the boye do not stay on the farm, but go to the city and enter other pur suits. Men of means and intelli gence will not farm; they prefer any occupation to that which brings them in contact with mother earth. This accounts for the rapid in creas in the cities and decrease in the country. Elect Harrison and the Republi can party; then it will be good bye to American agriculture. 1). C.
