2 NO. FUSION IN OURS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS NOT READY TO ENDORSE BE TR AY A EOF PRINCIPLE. HAVE WE FLANNIGANS HEBE Every Democra. in the State Denounc ed Last Year’s Fusion as the Crown ing Infnmv of the Age—Honest l>em oerats are Hilling Again to Rattle for Principle, but They are Unwilling to Dishonor Themselves to get Oliices lor a Few Leaders. Goldsboro, N. C., Sept. 11th. To the Editor of the News and Observer. From time to time, and of late quite frequently, intimations are given out through the press of the State to the effect that a movement is on foot to secure fusion or co operation between Democrats and Populists iu the next election. It is said that certain great leaders of the Democratic party are making approaches to the great man who so successfully co-operated with the Republicans last year in the now historic raid upon the offices then in sight, and that tne great co-operator is not averse to the affectionate wooing of the afore said great Democratic leaders. For pur poses of dramatic effect, it is euppo.-ed, these leaders are clothed with the shroud of mystery and cau only be partly made out after much straining of the mental vision, in dim and shadowy shape hang ing upon the distant horizon, in such a position that they may, if their dallying should prove agreeble to the father of fusion, float gently down and encircle the offices, or, if their advances should meet with repulse vanish away leaving no trace of name or feature. It is, perhaps, permissible to one at so great a distance from the scene of such mysterious though gigantic movements, involving as they do the present welfare as well as the future destiny of his party, to express his regret that the great agents engaged in this stupendous work could not be more clearly revealed to the gaze of an admiring world to the end that the reward destined to crown the noblest endeavor should not be too long delayed. He does most earnestly desire that clouds and darkness may no longer be the habitation of these patri otic leaders, and he would appreciate most highly the genius of the newspaper reporter who could penetrate the thick darkness, brush away the obscuring mists, and exhibit them in all their orig nal brightness Our condition at this most painful period is that of the gentleman who read history, omitting ail the names of the prominent actors in the great and stir ring events which have made and mar red the destiny of nations, and remained utterly oblivious of the years of our Lord in which they lived and moved, and so lost tie eujoyment which comes from linking great events with the names of ,the men who produced or guided and controlled them. And thus it has be fallen us in these latter days, nearing the end of the world, that .we know not the appearance or the countenance of these, our benefactors. It may be, so far as we can learn, in the gloomy space in which we dwell, that it is the hand of Jacob or it may be the hand of Fsau. If surmise could be tolerated in so weighty a matter, one might be permit ted to guess that the gentlern m referred to were of the number who admired the talent which conceived and the boldness which executed the latest achievement in fusion, and who were captivated by the delicate and refined sense of honor which dictated the movement and earned it to so laudable a conclu sion. He might further guess that they are progressive gentlemen who, living in a prac ical age in which political ab stractions and obsolete principles ought to be sent to the rear, and when all sen sible men are expected to look rather closely after their personal interests as contradistinguished from the poorly de fined and frequently mistaken interests of the public, endorsed co-operation as being a practical, sensible way of get ting, without needless circumlocution, the real benefits of the political activity, and he might reasonably conclude that they had the faith that once dwelt iu a gentleman who, iu the day of his pros perlty, enjoyed the musical name of Fiannigan, and whose simple and bcau ti ul creed was announced in the form of a question <often the most perfect method of impressing truth and for that reason employed by the great philoso pher Socrates) which demanded what we are here for if not for the offices. They might be supposed, too, to have been in sympathy with the cardinal principle which underlaid the to operative mow meat, and found its highest expression in the lines of New England's sweet, though somewhat business-Lke, singer: “ ’Tix not by principle* nor men tnyonwurd course is steadied, 1 scents wllat pa.va the best and goes for it bald-headed. But such vain imaginings might possi bly be injurious to the originator of the new Fusion movement, and the writer feels impelled to warn any unwary per son who may for a moment have fallen into such a train of thought, to beware of giving the credit to any except the rightful owner, and he avers his solemn belief that there was no Democrat who, last year entertained the supposed opin ions, and, consequently, if time and space were at his command, that he could, he believes, satisfy any reasonable mind that these cloudy statesmen are not Democrats at all. This conclusion is greatly strength ened by the fact universally known throughout the State that every Demo cratic leader and the whole membership of the party, too, for that matter, re garded Fusion or co operation as one of the most stupendous disgraces of the century, as a betrayal of the principles of both the parties to it, and as being a bargain pure and simple to throw away principle and capture the flesh pots; the choicest denunciation of Messrs. Jarvis and Ransom resounded throughout the IState and every speaker voiced the uni versal contempt and execration inspired by tne spectacle. Tae magnificent Henry condemned the thing to the infernal re gions in fiery bursts of eloquence the memory of which still remains, though he. »las! is now making speeches on the other side of the question in company with the great co-opera tor. Every Democratic newspaper in the State denounced the trade as the crowning infamy of the age and charged the Republican leader with driving his unwilling and ignorant followers into a disgraceful connection with a party whose avowed principles were totally an tagonistic to theirs, wh le the Populist leader was denounced as a traitor to his party, to the ticket he had helped to nominate, and to the men he had leau blindly into a coalition that ho had already declared ruinous. 1 boy further charged that the corrupt bargain, as they denominated it, had for its pr neipal pur pose the election of two Senators: one a Populist and the other a Republican, and long in advance of their election, named the men. The private citiz a who was a Democrat denounced the trade, believed it to be politically and morally dishon est, and destructive to the best interests of the State, tending to debase and de grade all who were parties to it, and he believes it yet with all the sturdy strength of bis uncontaminated manhood. His firm conviction is not shaken because the bargain and sale has been partly success ful. He knows the eternal principles of right have been violated and he expects to see the day when truth will again as sert itself and when the traders will stand naked and ashamed in the presence of the people they have deceived and mis led. He is willing to suffer defeat, if it comes. He is willing to fight the battle again for another quarter of a century, if necessary, but he is unwilling to dishonor himself, his party* and his country by imitating the baseness which he believes has left a lasting stain upon his State. If he allowed himself to approve such a course merely that a few of his promi nent party associates might dicker for a few paltry offices, he would feel a great er contempt for himself than he now feels for the men who engineered the deal of last year. With the party, its trusted leaders, its newspapers, its stur dy supporters, committed to these views, it would be the most unheard of blind n ?ss and folly for any leader to expect the support of his party in a movement which they have already branded as in fa nous. For these reasons it is impossible to believe that any leader is playing the role of fusion, and the only conclusion to be drawn from all the facts is that t e Democratic leaders who are smiling on Mr. Butler are merely cloud capped towers which had their origin in the busy brain and over-wrought nervous system of some enterprising newspaper reporter whose news items had been ex hausted and whose cultured imagination demanded a little necessary exercise. Frank A. Daniels. MORE HARM THAN GOOD. Balfour on the Effect of an Interna tional Conference. London, Sept. 10. —Rt. Hon. A. J. Balfour. First Lord of the Treasury, writes under date of September 4 as fol lows: "With reference to my recent decla ration in the House of Commons, I do not know why persons interested should be perplexed over my snpposed change of attitude on the question of interna tion&l bimetallism, for no such change has occurred. My answer, which has given rise to so much unnecessary dis cussion, explicitly stated the opinions which I have long held and which I thought all bimetallists held also. My answer was textually as follows.” Mr. Balfour then gives his reply to the question put in the House of Commons whether or not be would advise the Gov ernment to invite an international mon etary conference, when he said: ‘‘l am and always have been in favor of an international agreement, but I have not the right to pledge my coi- and I do not believe that an international agreement would result from any international conference.” Mr. Balfour’s letter then continues: "It is only as regards the statement that I had no grounds for thinking that a conference would result in an interna tional agreement at the present moment, and that an abortive conference would do more harm than good, that any dif ference of opinion may possibly be fouud aefoug bimetallists. In my judgment, however, there is but little prospect of a conference succeeding unless govern ments who are to be represented at it come to some understanding on the main points at issue before the conference as sembles. No such understanding, uu fortunately exists, and until it does exist, a conference would probably do more harm than good.” Minder in Lincolnlon. Charlotte News. There was a lively rucus at Lincolnton Saturday night, and yesterday afternoon they had a f uneral that was the outcome. There was a big dance given by the ne tZiOcn on the outskirts ot the town, and a strange negro appeared on the floor with a cigarette stump firmly clinched between his "ebonys.” He was asked by the leaders of the dunce to cease smoking, as it wits offensive to the ladies, bnt he did not desist. Finally he was taken from the scene of hilarity by two negroes named Wilforn and Roseman, and when next heard of he had a big gash on the shoulders and a good sized hole in his side, made by a pistol ball. The murderers have taken to the woods. More Rond* Coming. From The American. The very action of the President iu re fusing to make use of the silver in the Treasury in driving gold abroad. Having destroyed the silver bullion in the Treas ury, even as a basis for the silver certifi cates specifically calling for silver dol lars, and having placed all our currency in dependence on gold, he has made the superstructure resting on gold too broad to be supported by tne narrowing gold basis. Consequently, the demand for gold has been much increased by the policy persistently pursued by the ad ministration. No one has done so much to force gold exports as Mr. Cleveland himself. W anted.

Household Spe cialty Co., (79) Cincinuati, O. The News and Observer, Wednesday, Sept. 11* ’95. A BOLD ROBBERY. Thieves Steal a Horse and Buggy while the Owner is at Church—Business Prospects Brighter—Politics Quiet. Special to the News and Observer. Scotland Neck, N. 0., Sept. 10. A bold robbery was committed here Sunday night. Mr. W. E. Smith drove to church as usual and left his horse and buggy in the grove at the Episcopal church, and when he came out from ser vices he could not find his horse and buggv. The rogues had evidently en deavored to leave the impression that they w. re just playing a prank on him, as a saddle on a mule near by had been taken off and turned around. Mr. Smith has made diligent search but has heard nothing i’rom his horse and buggy. He is sending out posters and advertising for them. The sales from the tobacco crop in this region ha ye already brightened business here. More goods are being brought here by the merchants than for many years, and perhaps more thau ever before in the history of the town. It now looks like business will be quite brisk this sea son. There is not a great deal said about politics now, and we have thus hopeful sigu that people are going to get down to business and let politics alone awhile. Marvelous Results. From a letter written by Rev. J. Gun deiman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract: "I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King’s New Discovery, as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife W’hile I was pastor of the Baptist Church at River Junction she was brought down with Pneumonia suc ceeding La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she eou’d not survive them. A friend re commended Dr. King’s New Discovery, it was quick in its work and highly sat isfactory in results.” Trial bottles free at John* Y. Macßae’s drug store. Regu lar size 50c and SI.OO.
