4 PLEA FOR CLEVELAND
Conns at: upon Or. Bsail's ibls.Artlels
CLEVELAND AKD THE SOUTH.
Wilmington Messenger, y
MThf opinion is growing that Mr.
Cleveland's views upon silver have
not really very seriously injured his
chanceB forthe nomination next
year.' It is true that several leading
members of the Congress, and Sen
ator Voorhees, Pugh and Harris are
aniong them, are antagonizing his
nomination, but if the newspapers
can be taken as good witnesses the
Sentiment among the people at large
is overwhelmingly in his favor. Of
course prominent, able men in poli
tics can lead off a good many peo
ple in opposition, but the masses at
heart are for Cleveland. Unless a
very decided change takes place in
North Carolina before June 1892,
we feel very sanguine of the success
of the great ex-President in cap
turing tba delegation if it votes ' as
an unit. And so we believe it will
be in the South generally. There
may be a reaction against Cleve
land within the next fourteen
months, but it will not be brought
about because he antagonize ! "the
unlimited coinage of silver."
The outlook is altogether fnvora
ble to a campatgf, based against
Force bills and a Higher Tariff Tax.
The people crave peace and econo
my. The currency is a dividing
question, and the Democrat will de
fserve to be defeated again even by
'so inferior a-mortal as Harrison if
they allow the Republican party to
draw them over the precipice into
the whirlpool of "free silver coin
age." . f .
We are not discussing the merits
of that proposition. Free silver
coinage may or may not be the
right thine, the sound thin?: the
r"1" thing. What we are concerned
about now are the dangers lurking in
a measure that will inevitably divide
the Democratic party and lose either
the West or the East and imperil
some Sea them States.
We not long since published a let
ter from Dr R. L. Beall, a promi
nent physician at Lenoir, and it has
since appeared in other papers. The
Charleston News and Courier copies
it and Credits to another North Car
lina paper in which it appeared
after its publication in the Messen
ger. It editorially discusses what
the Doctor so earnestly said, in favor
of Mr. Cleveland's re-election and
approves of his declarations. Dr.
Beall is , exactly correct when! he
says:
"Mr. Cleveland is not opposed to
silver as a circulating med.um any
moro than to gold, but he is opposed
to issuing it in such vast amounts as
to depreciate its value; and he wants
its value as compared with gold to
'be fixed so that when we farmers
ship our cotton, tobacco and wheat
direct to Europe (as we hope, to do
if his tariff reform is carried out) we
will have a fixed standard -'by which
to adjust balances and not be com
pelled to take a depreciated curren
cy in exchange."
He is an Alliance man but a Dem
ocrat. Believing iD honest govern
ment he wants an honest man. He
tells the farmers and Alliance - men
in the South that they "shonld re
member with gratitude his vigorous
war on the iniquitous tariff,, which,1
in my humble opinion, is the source
of more evils than all other causes
combined." I
" WHY HE SUPPORTS CLEVELAND.
Charleston News and courier.
When Mr. Cleveland's letter to the
Reform Club of New York was pub
lished in February, defining his po
sition on the question of free silver
coinage, there was great rejoicing
among the political quacks, cranks
and spoilsmen at Washington and
throughout the country because, as
hey said, it rendered him wholly
unavailable as the Democratic can
didate for President in 1892. Many
of the stanchest advocates of honest
money, we entirely agree with Mr.
Cleveland's views, were startled by
the boldness of his utterances and
deprecated the publication of the
letter at such a crisis, while the
weak-kneed and timorous souls,who
seem to have secured a refuge in
the Democratic camp, generally took
to the woods. The senators, to
whom Mr. Cleveland would not
truckle when he was President and
'the whole of the Democratic Mafia
i j ...iAi?stnTia nn him and
ilea Ucla lUBtouivwvu. ,
turned upon, him to destroy him
yj k; fa aiiIv ' hone that
the party has for victory in the next
ereat national contest. If the let
ter had been written on the eve of
electing delegates to the National
Democratic Convention, perhaps it
would have defeated him, for the
Anti-Cleveland Democrats are "giv
en to lying." but it was written
the proper spirit, at the right time,
and challenging the admiration of
friend and foe alike for the courage
i4k m-rnrmtiaea Alt COn-
victions, it has made the i election of
a Democratic rresiaeui. m;
conditional npon the nomination of
Mr. Cleveland.
It is precisely as we predicted
that it wonld be when Mr. - VJ"-
. . .... flrpf nnbliahed.
-The Representatives at Washington
ttz.zTZLmi-r hTisHtnftnees. and thf
IiENOIR, N.
cmuuburB wuo represent special in
dustries, having exhausted for the
present their stock of misrepresonta
tion and misinformation, the people
are beginning to think and speak
and act for themselves. We reprint
today from the Progressive Farmer
the Alliance organ in North Caroli
na, a very insignificant article by R.
L. Beall, of Lenoir, himself an ear
nest and : intelligent representative
of . the Farmers' Alliance in the Old
North State, a man of power and
influence, and a Democrat from
choice and conviction. He did not
lose his faith in the principles of the
Democratic party when he joined
the Alliance, and joining the Al
liance did not destroy his confidence
in the honesty,1 ability and political
sagacity of Mr. Cleveland. He
shows that Mr. Cleveland has been
.an honest and consistent friend of
the South, and an able and effective
champion of economy in the admin
istration of the Government.
."Southern, farmers and Alliance
men,''8ays Mr. Beall, ''should re
member with gratitude his vigorous
war on the iniquitous tariff, which,
in my. humble'opmion, is the source
of ntore evils than all other causes
combined." I
In regard to Mr Cleveland's po
sition on the silver question, Mr.
Beall says very truly tht "Mr.
Cleveland is not opposed to-silver as
,a circulating medium any more than
to gold, but he is opposed to issuing
it in such vast am aunts as to de
preciate its value; and he wants its
value as compared with gold to be
fixed so that when we farmers ship
our cotton, tobacco and wheat direct
to Europe (as wejiope to do if his
tariff reform is carried out) we -will
have a fixed standard by which to
adjust balances and not be compelled
to take a depreciated currency in
exchange." Mr.Beall, shows in
conclusion, that the silver legislation
against which Mr. Cleveland protes
ted, was especially designed to pro
mote the interest of the owners of
silver mines and silver bullion, aud
not for the benefit of the farmers
and workingmen of the country.
He begs that the Farmers' Alliance
will not antagonize one who has al
ways fought on their side aud for
their interests.
Mr. Beall lepresents a very large
following' in North Carolina and
throughout the South. The freo,
unlimited and independent coinage
of silver will help tho millionanes
and still, further impoverish" the
people. ''Saddest of all," says Mr.
Cleveland in hia Warner letter, "in
every workshop, mill, factory, store
and on every railroad and farm, the
i. i. . . .
wages of labor, already depressed,
would suffer, still further depres
sion by a scaling down of the pur
chasing power of every so-called
dollar paid into the band of
toil."
, CLEVELAND AND TREE COINAGE
Springfield. Mass., Republican.
This letter from R. L. Beall, Le
on ir, N. C, a prominent meml.erof
the alliance, upon Mr. Cleveland's
attitude on the silver question, is
worth reading as indicating a
ehange in sentiment that is appar
ently very generally taking place
among the men supposed to be
most completely under the control
of the free coinage delusion. After
speaking of Cleveland's friendliness
to Xhe South, and his loyalty, to tar
iff reform, Mr. Beall turns to Cleve
land's letter on the silver question,
saying:
"After all may it not be that he
foresees what is dangerous to the
prosperity and financial safety to
the country a little more clearly than
we plain farmers? If I understand
him, Mr. Cleveland is not opposed
to silver as a circulating medium
any more than to gold, but. he is
opposed to issuing in such vast
amounts as to depreciate its value;
and he wants its value as compared
with gold to be fixed, so that, when
we farmers ship our cotton, tobacco (
and wheat direct to Europe (as we '
hope to do if his tariff reform is
carried out) we will have a fixed
Standard by which to adjust balan-.
cos, and not be compelled to take a
depreciated currency in exchange.
Let us not sa that he is our enemy
in opposing that free coinage bill
untilwesee clearly what it means.
I can see this much, that when the
government purchases' silver and
coins it, 20 cents on the dollar is
saved to the people. I Can also see
that if every owner of a silver mine
makes 20 cents on his silver dollar
and the people lose that much. Let
us not be ungrateful. Let us not
be in haste to condemn a friend
who has always proved faithful."
Tkis is sensible and should be ef
fective with the readers for whom it
was intended; but it is equally in
teresting as showing the hold Cleve
land bas upon the Southern farmer,
even though he be an alliance man.
This fact is gradually penetrating
the conciensces of politicians,
particularly the congressmen who
have been at home long enough", to
understand just how their consti
tuents regard the situation. As a
consequence we are hearing less now
about the impossibility of Cleveland
for 1892, and a. great deal more
about the impolicy and folly of ma
kinga question the issue which will
be sure to divide a rrtT and ll?e
advisability of making the fight v in
1892 on the tariff question, leaving'

the silver issue one side. Senator
Ransom of North Carolina is a con
vert to this view, and so are . several
others who might be me ntioned.
Its opponents seem to be principally
a lew irreconcilabies with a- griev
ance against Cleveland, a few oth
ers who have not waked up to the
situation, like Senator Pugh of Ala
bama; and the scattering Hill con
tmgent, who seem to be making the
most noise.
A NOTABLE LETTER.
New Tork Evening Post.
A notable letter on the silver
question has been written by R. L.
Beall of Lenoir, N. 0., a prominent
member of the Alliance.' After
speaking, of Mr. Cleveland's friend
liness to the South and his loyalty
to tariff reform, Mr. Beall turns to
his letter on the silver qnestion, say
ing : "After all, may it not be
that he foresees what is dangerous
to the prosperity and financial safe
ty of the country a little more clear
ly than we plam farmers ? If I un
derstand him, Mr. Clevevland is not
opposed tosilver as a circulating
medium any more than to gold, but
be is opposed to issuing in such
vast amounts as to "depreciate its
value; nd he wants its value as
compared with gold to be fixed, so
that when we farmers ship our cot
ton, tobacco, and wheat direct to
Europe (as we hope to do if his tar
iff roform is carried out), we will
have a fixed standard by which to
adjust balances and not be compel
led to take a depreciated currency
in exchange. Let us not say that
he is our enemy in opposing that
free-coinage Bill until we see clear
ly what it means. I can see this
much, that when the Government
purchases silver and coins it, twen
ty cents on the dollar is saved to
the people. I can also see that if ev
ery owner of a silver mine or of sil
ver bullion can have it coined free,
he makes twenty cents on his silver
dollar and the people lose that
much. . Let us not be ungrateful.
Let us not be in haste to condemn
a friend who has always proved
faithful."
HENRY U. STANLEY
Was He a Deserter From the Confedsnta
i
Army?
Atlanla Joureal. ?
I have some very strong convic
tions on this qnestion, and have had
i strong inclination to express them
But I have purposely waited until
after the delivery of Mr. Stanley's
lecture in Atlanta, because I did not
wish to say anything to lessen the
receipts of the library association,
though 1 confess to. a decided opin
ion that their commitee ought to be
, more careful whom they invite to
lecture for them.
I have had little sympathy with
the apolgies that have been made
for Stanley, and little patience with
the courtesies that have been, shown
him in the South.
The facts in the case are simply
these: At the outbreak of the war
Stanley was living in New Orleans
where he had been treated with
great kindness. He enlisted in the
. Confederate army. He was after
wards 'taken prisoner (when, or
where, or whether by the fortunes
of war or his own act I am not ad
vised,) and soon after volunteered
in the service of the United States. -In
plain English he became a deser
ter from the Confederate army and
joined the enemy, and had he been
caught be would have been shot,
and the world would have approved
the sentence, for there is no greater
crime known to -military law than
desertion. .1
These facts have been frequently
published, and never successfully
demed, but I quote in proof the fol
lowing from a friendly sketch of
Stanley in Appleton's Cyclopedia,
vol. xv., page 307. "His ben
efactor died intestate, and young
Stanley, at the outbreak of the ci
vil war enlishted in the Confederate
army, was taken prisoner, volunteer
ed in the United States navy, and
subsequently became an active en
sign in the ironclad Ticonderoga.
I confess to very great surprise
that a Confederate deserter should
be countenanced in . any Soutnern
community, and to compare him to
LaFayette, the patriotic hero of the
Revolution, and to class them to
gether as "soldiers of fortune." is
8 imply amazing to me. "
I am always ready to tako by the
hand the brave soldier ; who "wore
the blue," or any man who conscien
tiously took the other side in the
great "war between the States," but
the man on either side who deserted
his colors and fought against his bid
comrades should have "deserter"
branded on his forehead and be de
spised and , scorned by all righV
thinking people.

He has proved an exceedingly able
president of the Georgia,; Carolina
ana JNortnernjta'ilway.
Governor Holt is making a very
pleasant impression. He has spent
a good deal of time here during the
past twenty years, and is very much
esteemed, tie is quiet, but strictly
business. Jt is predicted that his
administration will be very like that
of Governor Jar vis, which is so well
remembered.
The Governor's first official act
was to issue an order to the State
Guard regarding Governor Fowle's
death and the second one was he
ordering of troops on duty at Char
lotte, or rather instructing them to
cooperate with the civil authorities
there in prompting a lynching and
also rioting
It will surprise many people in
this State to know how much atten
tion is directed to the well organized
Farmers' Alliance in North Carolina.
Ex-Congressman Wharton J. Green
was interviewed a few days ago at
Washington -City and said : "There
is no danger of the . Farmers' .Alli
ance starting a third party in the
South. I am a member of the Al
liance, and I know that it is not the
intention of our organization to sup
port a third party ticket. The Al
liance in the South is almost entire
ly made up of Democrats, and I
think they feel the same as I do.
They would not subordinate their
Democracy to any other organiza
tion. One of the leading republi
can papers of the West, in quoting
this, says : '
Uol. Green is oiie of the Demo
ciatic leaders in his State, and ex
pects to be the next Governor. He
is evidently more of a Democrat
than ah Alliance man. Hisia the
view which most of the Southern
Democratic politicians take."
The same paper says : "Now on
the other band, Col. Polk, the Na
tional President of the Alliance,,
has prepared an address, of which
1,000,000 copies are now being
mailed to all parts of the country.
Col. Pol is also a North Carolina
Democrat, but he is more ofun Al
liance man than a Democrat. In
his address he says :
We axe told by presumptuous and
arrogant partisans and self constitu
ted leaders that farmers and other
laboring classes 'should not go into
politics '; that we "will ruin parties
and ruin. the country." Who con
stitute parties in this country ? To
whom do political parties belong
to the people or to the few who ar
rogantly assume to control them ?
Who has a better right to cont rol
them ? Who has a better right to go
Into politics than the farmers of this
country ? The great masses of the
industrial classes, North and South,
Democrats and Republicans, with
out regard to sectional or geograph
ical lines, witn one purpose and1
with one heart, have locked their
hands and shields in a common
cau8e-the cause of a common coun
try. They have solemnly resolved
to turn their backs upon the past
and make one mighty effort to res
cue our Government and institu
tions from impending peril."
Col. Polk the paper in question
. hi
says, wnicn is called to create toe
ihird party, may not go to tne
Cincinatti conference, but there is
little doubt where he stands with
regard to third party and his sug
gestive address will be in the hands
of every sub-alliance in. the country
by the time the conference, meets.
Polk is an abler man than the
country generally gives him. credit
of being. He" knows how, to put
things to reach the masses.
Anything bearing on the lnird
party. matter is just now of particu
lar interest, of course.
A force of expert copyists will
make rapid progress with the great
mass of records of the direct tax in
the U. S. treasury department. If

Governor Holt has called a State
immigration convention to meet
here May 13. It is really to con
sider all matters relative to the
State's advancement, particularly!
as regards the Inter-State exposition I
here and the greater World's Fair at
Chicago. The inter-State' exposi
tion's managers are certainly very
busy people, having no less than fif
teen clerks in the office here. I The
exposition will be held in a build
ing over 1200 feet long, at the
State fair grounds. It will be the
greatest yet held in this part of the
country. In June the whole mat
ter of the State's exhibit at Chica
go will be taken up and acted up
on regularly. Tne military author
ities are considering plans for the
encampment at Chicsgo of the en
tire brigade of State troops for a
week or ten days. The old North
State will put her best foot fore
most there.
The North Carolina Soldiers'
Home, half a mile east of this city,
will be formally opened May 10.
The veterans and the military will
participate as will also the Ladies'
Memorial Association There will
be 32 old soldiers to enter the Home
at first, but quarters will be provi
ded for 75 or more. The build
ings are cottages, the location is su-
. perb, the grounds ample and well
shaded. The old soldiers will at last
have a home indeed. The opening
will be quite an event.
