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.
:.,. ' , , -

. 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.

; 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. Richmond

The late Republican taunts of
Democratic division on silver in ' the

now that there is Republican division
developed in the Senate. The silver
question is a thread running: "catawara

fair in Rhode Island and still better in

of his nomination, it might depend on

Resolved. That the Democratic Ex

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.

Mr. Ellington and of Chairman

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. .

911 OLD DRESS SUIT.
' . . J. -HARRY STEDMAN.
My dress suit is threadbare and shiny
and spotted,
. But how can I part with this friend of
my youth, , '
To hang in some second-hand shop, or
be trotted ' l
About on some restaurant waiter ; for
sooth ! , r--
That dress suit has sported with wealth
and with station,
Has heard the : best - music and seen
the best plays,
Has rested in royal content in flirtation,
And consorted with beauty in several
ways.
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.
