A TRIE TO ItAliiJItNVIIAi:. Y'our correspondent seated himself in the west bound train Wednesday, May fGth, his destination being Bakersville. We arrived at Marion, N. C, promptly at 3 :30 p. m. where wo were informed the W. NQ. R. R. & 3 Cs make connection. Finding we were mistaken owing to the heavey rain and freshet on the Catawba river we had to stay two days in the quiet and humble town of Marion ; but on the 18th at 6 o'clock a. m. we boarded the 3 Cs. train for Bakersville, al though the road was very muddy and the Catawba river deep but in spite of ail this our train rushed right through at the rate of four miles to the hour, then wc had a distance of twelve miles of almost perfect road. Keeping up ourt regular iato of time wc dashed along the 3 Cs. and soon struck the -.foot of the Blue Ridge. Thi3 mountain being very high and the grado being 60 feet to the mile we could not possibly keep our rate of time, but very soon wc learned "by sound of the station blo w and the cry of the porter at Brinklcy's Station, "twenty minutes for dinner," that we had arrived at our dinner house, where ail the luxuries of the season were awaiting us, which wo partook of in the most sumptous manner., , After a short view of the grand old Blue Ridgrt and a drink of her cooling waters prepared us for our journey. At 1 ;20 the "all a board" was heard and c bounded the tram. Now lor a distance of seventeeu miles to the city of Bakersville the road being very level we dashed along at our usual sieed. At 6 o'clock p. m. the porter was again heard to cry Bakersville I" tho depot being' a distance f of two miles west of town. We were met by a number of friends, in hacks and omnibusses. Wo boarded a hack and up rolling waters of Cane Creek was a very pleasant drive, and a few minuted landed us in the pleasant town of Bakersville. It is a beautiful little town and the county tcat of Mitchell, situated on the bank3 of Cane Creek, having a population "of 600 good people, has two hotels, a number of private boarding hoiiies, two livery' stables, six dry goods tores, two drugstores, a wholesola and retail provision fctore. ine ptppie oi Bakersville ami Mitchell county al ways have a near and warm jdacc m our bearU-'i. -aj-s We remained two woks irf the town and inrft quite a number of friends and had m&nyf JLint talks Willi those we used M- r Km.. .11 Rut we Dnd'Mitchell. like many other places, in many re6pect9 has changed 4 from what it used to be in 1834 when we stayed in Balcersville when Cleve land and Blaine run the race that they will perhaps, rnn again, the Democrats were few and far between, bnt tlme has rolled on and Grover was elected ; but I am proud to say this time on the eave of. another race when I - meet the men . I met 1884 then I ro compelled to say things are not what they seemed to be then - theyj talce their 6tand for Cleveland and Keforra. " 1 ; Very respectfully, . EnmAiM. The Democratic party of tho United States, in National Conven tion' assembled, ronews the pledge of its fidelity to ' the Democratic faith, and reaftimis the platform adopted by its representatives in tho convention of 18S4, and endorses the views expressed by President Cleveland in his 'last earnest message to Congress, as a ctrrect interpretation of that platform jupon! tne Question of the tariff reduction ; and also endorses the efforts of bur Democratic repre sentatives in Congress to aecuro a reduction of excessive taxation. Among its principles of party faith are the maintenance of an indissolu ble union of free and indestructiblo States, now about to cuter upon its second century ' of. - unexampled progress and renown ; devotion to the plan of government regulated by the written Constitution, strictly specify ing every granted power and ex pressly reserving to the JStatcs or the people the entire ungranted residue of ) power ; encouragement of jealous popular vigilance, directed to all who hive been chosen for brief terms to eiuct and execute tfje laws, and are charged with the duty of preserving pjiace, ensuring equality, and estab lishing justice. I The Democratic party- welcomes exacting security of the administra tion of the executive power which four years ago was committed to its trust in the election of Grover Clove, land President of the United States; but it challenges the most searching inquiry concerning its fidelity -and devotion to the pledges which then invited the suffrages of j the people. During the most critical period of our financial affairs, resulting from over taxation, anomalous- condition of our currency and public debt unmatured, it has by the adoption of a wise and conservative course, not only averted disaster . but greatly promoted the prosperity of the people. ; f It ba3 reversed the j improvident aud unwise policy of the Republican party touching the public domain, and has reclaimed frdra corporations and syndicates, alien and domestic, and restored to the people nearly one hundred million acres of land to be sacredly held as homesteads for our citizens. ' ! I , While carefully guarding the; in tcreatto the principled of justice and cqui ty, it , has paid out more for pensions and bounties to the soldiers and sailors of the Republic than was ever paid before during: an equal period. It has .adopted and consist- ently pursued a firm and prudent i foreign policy, preserving peace with i all nations w Jiilc scrupulously tnain taining all the riirhts and interests of our own government and our people at home and abroad. Exclusion from our shores of Chinese labor has been effectually secured under the provis ion of treaty, the operation of which has been postponed by the action of the Republican majority ; in the Senate. : '. '. . -' In every branch and department of government under Democratic con trol tlie rights and welfare of the people Lave lcen guarded and defended ; every public i&terest Las beu protected and the eqaality of all our citizens before the law. without regard to rac or color, has been steadfastly maintained, j Ua its irjxjrd, thus exbibited, . : NO. 22 ' i- '..

The Republican piju-tf controlling the Senate, and resisting; in both Lousca : of Congress reformation of unjust and unequal taxi laws which have outlasted j tho- necessities of war, and are now uiidJrmining the abundandanco of a Ion J peace, deny to the people the equality before the law.and the fairness and (justice which are their rights. Then! the cry of Amencan labor for a' bltier share in the rewards of industry is stifled with fatse pretense ; enterprio is fettered and bound down by liolne markets ; capital is discouraged pith doubt j and unequal and unjust laws can neither be procrly amc nded or re pealed. Tho Democratic' party, will con tinue with all t!ie powur confided to It to -strugle to ' reform tlese' laws in accordance wii.h tho ph-dges of! its last platform, (indorsed at the ballot box by the suffrages of tlie people, of all the 1 industrious freemen of our land. The iutimense majority, mv eluding every tiller of tic soil, gain no advantage from excessive taX laws, but the price they buy is i ofl nearly everything ncreaeedj by the fa voritism of this uncfpiil System of tax legislation Unnccissary taxa tion is unjust taxation. It is repugnant to fhc ctoed of Democracy that by suchjtaxation the cost of necessaries of liTe should be unjustifiably increased f to all our people. Judged by 'the: Democratic principles the interests bf the people are betrayed, when, by unnecessary ft!rxation trmta and combinations are permitted to exist; whiclf, while undii It i . ly enricbiog the few tfat combine, of our I citizens by depriving them of thel benefits of natural competition.
