BERNARD. . T Vv'lLMINGTON, N. C. Sunday Morning, Apr. 10. 1892. THE ST. LOUIS DEMANDS. Mr. Marion Butler, President of the North Carolina Farmers' - Alli ance, has issued a call for a confer ence of Alliance men, to meet him in Rale:gb, pn the 17th of May, which is one day before the meeting of the State .Democratic , Convention. The purpose of this conference is at least partially explained in the following circular, issued from his office at Clinton: "(Official Circular No. 5.) President's Office, N. C. F. S. A., Clinton, N. C, March 15, 1892. To the Lecturer, County F.A: Dear Brethren: We are nearing the time when important action in the battle for reform must be taken. We are nearing the time when . we and our principles will be put to the highest test. At such a time and in matters of such grave import to the cause and to each1 of us personally, I desire the bene fit of your counsel., I desire a confer ence with one true Allianceman or more from each county in the -State. There fore I ask you at your April county meeting to elect one man to be in Ral eigh on Tuesday, May 17th, to meet with me in conference. Elect your best and truest member and empower him to act for you in a representative capacity in any emergency that may arise. Instruct him to use his best judgment for the good of the organization and the cause of reform, and put on him one restric tion and one only that he must not. nn der any circumstances, compromise or back down from the St. Louis demands. "The conference' will , convene at 10 o'clock on the morning of the 17th. See tnat your representative is furnished with a certificate of his election under seal of your county lodge and is on hand on the day named. If he is not able to bear his own expenses, assist him so that he will be sure to go. Have your coun ty secretary to furnish me at once with his name and address. , "Fraternally, Marion Butler, "President N. CF. S. A. "Have the above communication read and acted' on at your county meeting." . The meauing of this circular is so plain that no one can mistake it. It is that, these representatives . who meet Mr. Butler in conference must be instructed to insist on the endorse ment by the Democratic State Con vention of the platform of the third party as a condition of the affiliation of the men whom they represent: With all due respect to Mr. : Butler and the men who go thus instructed into conference with him we have i never seen a more glaring .exhibition of colossal cheek. -, Is Mr. Butler vested with the su preme authority to tell the Alliances of North Carolina how - they must instruct their representatives, that they must 'give them only one in struction and what that instruction . shall be, and that one in a matter of : politics, too'? .-We have been assured and believe that the Alliance is not a political organization President f Butler says it is not, arid yet he is sues his circular to the county Al liances instructing them as to what they shall do in a matter purely po- .j litical. v The sum and substance of this whole business is that the Democratic party if it wants . to retain the adhe sion of the President of the Alliance must surrender to the People's Party by adopting the platform of the r People's Party, which the third party advocates prefer to call ','the St. Louis demands." Our impression is that if this be the line of action that Mr. Butler in tends to pursue as a condition of his going into the Democratic con vention, his conference will be en tirely unnecessary, for we are" far. from believing that there is a Dem ocrat m North Carolina, inside or outside of the Alliance, who goes to that convention as j delegate who would for one moment entertain such an absurd and stultifying propo sition, one who would go there call ing himself a Democrat and volun tarily surrender himself and his party to that hybrid progeny of the St. Louis "conference," against what Marion, Butler and - other Southern Alliance men protested. :-i The Democratic convention which would entertain such a proposition as that and adopt it would .forfeit all respect and all claim to the name of Democrat, i and should at once ac cept the name of the party to which it had so ignominiously surrendered. The men who contemplate making such a proposition, if they do con template it; will not go the Ra leigh as Democrats, but as third party men, determined to take pos session of the Democratic party and make it an appendage -to the so called People's Party. There is no" reasonable demand which Mr. Butler, as a representative of the Alliance, might make, con sistent with Democratic principles, which the Democratic convention would not consider, but that any body of men calling themselves Dem ocrats should have the assurance 'to demand that the Democratic party renounce its principles and accept the grotesque and absurd platform of this so-called People's Party, is so amazing as to stagger belief. But some strange things are happening in this year of strange surprises and extraordinary combinations. Our impression is, from what we know pf the Alliance of North Carolina, which numbers in its ranks- thou sands of as good, true and loyal citi zens as there are in the State, that it will be very far from endorsing this circular, if it means what its language implies. HIirOB MENTION. The friends . of Mr. Blaine have not abandoned the intention of pre senting his name at the Minneapolis Convention, but Mr. Harrison has made such good use of his advan tages since Mr. Blaine's letter of withdrawal, that he unquestionably has the inside track now. If they could get up a tussle between Harri son and other candidates, they might run Blaine in, but the indications now are that they can't succeed in this. lit the meantime, however, they manage to keep Blaine in the public eye as a contingent candidate. The following from an interview with Mr. Mahaney, who has recently been appointed Minister to Ecuador, who had just returned from Wash ington, is the latest announcement, as published in the Lockport, N. YT, Journal : , . . . - 1 . i i - "I found Mr. Blaine in excellent health and cheerful and vigorous. He has in all human probability from fifteen to twenty working years yet before him in which he will be capable of brilliant and useful service to bis country. Mr. Blaine will not seek a Presidential nom ination. He has never cared for the office since 1876. Then he would have accepted it, but since then, even in 1884, he had and has had little personal in clination for it. It is this fact, not health, that has impelled him" to be re served regarding the proposition to make him a candidate. But he is a loyal Re publican, and like all such is for the man that can most surely lead the party to victory. . Should the convention see fit to nominate him after a careful survey of the field, there is nothing so far as I know that would prevent his acceptance. The Presidential question aside, how ever, I am delighted to assure you that Mr. Blaine since I have known him has never been in such excellent i health, bodily strength, and mental vigor as at the present time. :.,. ' , , - r ' , !. ,-, ..... . It is estimated by some who have been figuring- upon 4t that it would take $500,000,000 to pay the Union soldiers the difference between green backs and gold at the time they were paid, as demanded in the third party platform. This Js a very safe esti mate and instead of being over is far tinder the figure. There always was a difference , from the time the first greenback was issued until the close of the war, the difference for a considerable portion of -the time be ing as much as two and halt to one. The total number of men enlisted for the war was 2,778,304, the aggregate reduced to a three years standing being 2,326,168, every one of whom would have to be paid the difference not for one month or three months, but for three years, Jbive hundred millions would not touch it. Whatever the sum might be the southern people would have to pay about one third of it, and not one dollar in a hundred of what they paid would bepaid out in this sec tion, but nearly the whole sum would go to benefit people - on the other side of the line. The southern : peo ple are now taxed about $40,000,000 a year to pay pensions to Union ,sol diers, and yet the men who framed ed the third party platform, have the colossal cheek to ask them to shoul der the burden of at least a couple hundred millions - more, in order that these third party boosters may capture some soldier votes in the North and West, for which they are playing. ." ' . , The amendment to the District Appropriation ; bill appropriating $100,000 to defray expenses of the next G. A. R. encampment at Wash- ington, passed the aenate xnaay. There never was any doubt that this amendment would pass, for $100,000 out of the pockets of the people don't amount to anything to Repub lican Senators who are striking for soldier votes. They would have voted $1,000,000 as willingly as $100,000 if they thought it necessary to accomplish the purpose intended. Anything with soldier attached to it goes these days.! The pretence that this is done out of regard for the soldier is the sheerest hypocrisy, for there isn't one out of all the men who voted away these $100,000, who cares a continental about the soldier, how he , gets to Washington, how he gets away from it, or whether he has a good time while there or not? It wasn't about the next encamp ment, but about the next election they were thinking when they ran that iob through. They had no more right to do it than they had to put their hands into a safe of one of the Washington banks and abstract that much money. Legally speak ing there is a difference between the larceny perpetrated by a legislator and the picking of a pocket by a sneak thief, but morally they are on the same plane. ! CURRENT COMMENT. The Republicans did not ask the advice of the Democrats in framing the McKinley tariff, and they are not called on by the Demo crats to give any advice about the best method of punching holes in it. iV. Y. World. Dent. " ; It is a well-established fact our foreign Ministers and Consuls are mainly appointed on account of political services ! rendered. As a rule, the questions of fitness and ex perience have nothing to do with the selection. Therefore it is but natu ral that Mr. Harrison's Diplomatic Corps should be found heading towards home to take a hand in the work pertaining to the Minneapolis Convention. Patrick Egan, it is an nounced, has received leave Of ab sence, and will ! soon return from Chili to regulate the Irish end of the Republican party! and make it solid for Harrison. If Mr. Harrison should fail of renomination the probabilities are that Patrick will not return to Santiago. JV. Y.Advertiser Ini. We look upon the silver ques tion as having been shelved for the present, r It will probably not be the cause of any legislation during the current session of Congress. This does not mean that in either house of Congress members Can be pre vented from airing their financial theories, but merely that the Demo cratic National Convention will not insert a pro-silver plank in its plat form. The Democratic leaders can hardly be expected to turn the Chi cago convention into a silver assem blage in view of the recent votes in the House of Representatives upon the question of i side-tracking free coinage for the present.

That the Democratic Ex ecutive Committee for this State hereby endorses and approves the letter of Mr. E. Chambers Smith, chairman of this committee, to Mr. Ellington, dated March 18th, 1892, as setting forth the proper and true test as to who shall be entitled to participate in the township meetings and conventions of the Democratic party in North Carolina, and that we heartily commend the manly ut terances of that letter to the Democ racy of this State. The following are the letters of Mr. Ellington and of Chairman Smith : Raleigh, N. C, March 18, 1892. Hon. Ed. Chambers Smith, Chair man State Dem. Ex. Com., Raleigh, N. C: Dear Sir: I am informed and have good reason to believe that many persons who do not intend to support the nominees of the National and State Democratic conventions will attempt to participate in the approaching . township and county conventions held to select delegates to the State-convention May 18, 1892, and I write to ask you, as chairman of the State Democratic Executive committee, whether they have a right to do so. This is an important matter, and. I beg that you give me an early answer. Very truly, ; " J. C. Ellington. Rooms State Democratic Executive Committee, .Raleigh, Nv C, March 20. Mr. J.jC.- Ellington, Raleigh, N. C. My Dear Sir 1 am in receipt of your letter of the 18th inst., stating that you "have good reason to be lieve that many persons who do not intend to support the nominees of the National and State Democratic conventions will attempt to partici pate in the approaching township and county conventions held to se lect delegates to the State Conven-. tion of May 18, 1892, and asking my opinion as to their right to do so, &c, &c. I am loath to believe that any con siderable number of our people will undertake to violate a rule of politi cal conduct, based upon honor and good faith, so universally respected as the one that "whoever partici pates in - a political convention is bound in honor to abide by its ac tion." This rule is the foundation of political parties and of government by parties such as .ours and if it were not obeyed, we might be con fronted with the I woeful spectacle of a few disaffected members of one party combination with the opposing party, capturing the popular con ventions and nominating candidates and arranging platforms for the purpose of defeat! When you con sider , that each voter, who partici pates in a township (or primary) meeting and votes for delegates to the county convention who vote for delegates to the State convention and they in turn for delegates to the National Convention, indirectly votes for the nomination of all Democratic candidates from Presi dent down, tou can readily see that it would be eminently " improper for him to take part in the "primaries unless he intends to support the can- aid ates which he, through his agents, has assisted in nominating. The requisite that a citizen must vote for the candidate he has been instrumental in naming is a new one, and is essential to the preservation of the integrity of the party. I should say therefore that only those who are Democrats and intend to support the Democratic nominees can have a voice in naming delegates to the various Democratic conven tions. I hope and believe that your fears are groundless and that the honesty and integrity for which out. people have been proverbial, - will not be tarnished byjsuch action as you an ticipate.1 - It will not be out of place in this connection, I feel sure, for me to im press upon all Democrats through out the State a due exercise of pru dence and charity, to the end that no one who believes that an honest adherence to Democratic principles will best secure the reform, which the people so much need, may have excuse for , severing his allegiance. Let us all be charitable and honest with each other. . -- Very respectfully, :. Ed. Chambers Smith, a Ch'm'n State Dem. Ex. Com.

When I think of the waists that right sleeve has surrounded In '" waltzing, of course and what tresses have pressed The lapel of that coat, yum, yum ! I'm confounded - With "ioys that - we've tasted," no longer possessed And I fondly remember the scores of ' good dinners, With menus delicious, that vest has embraced, f And the heart-throbs its heard; they come to the beginners. They are svening emotions, by morn ing effaced. ' And these arethe trousers; for years they've been flitting About at swtll parties and dancing affairs; Cheek by jowl with the silks and the satins, or sitting Sequestered in alcoves, in nooks, on the stairs ; Every thread, is. a cord of some sweet recollection, j Every spot tells a tale of delight now no more ; Dear worn-out dress suit, you inspire retrospection. ; Because you've been worn out so oiten before.
