LAWYKU TAYLOR I V.A KX TH1 lit MO( KA1 i: V A HI I HK t.lK litMl( K.T. Id Writ ; MrmiK I. .-Iter lull of I'atriot-im---li- W ill . Mil th l'-oilf'n Car- Editor Thk Ca lvasia , Ool.Uboro, N. C. Dear Sir: The history of our na tion, and a careful and painstaking perusal of the pages of that history will demonstrate that the people of this nation an-of tin- anglo eaxon race. The ntrong'-.-t cliaractei i-tic of the anglo savm race is its devo tion to personal liberty. Natioi.s ' and especially individuals, may, and will iong be u nconscious of special actions which, at t h-i r root, are tie means of, and will, if carried out t" their extent, deprive them of the liberties so deaf to their hearts, if such legislation is carried out tha' leaves them in a fair -fate of pros perity. Then thev will not seek to change siicn course ut. til a crisis spurs t hem into action. The anglo savons of America first saw that cri sis, and the crisis first asserted itself in the Declaration of I ndt p- ndence, and 1 could not bitter illustrate what I now have to say tha i by quo ting from that declaration that founded this government: "We hold these truths to be self evident; that all men are created eipial! Thai, tiny are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable lights. That among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness! That to secure these rights governments are instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. "That whenever any form of gov ernment becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or aboi-h it and institute a new government. When a long train of abuser! aud usurpations, pursuing invar'ably the satin- object, evinces a d'-sigii to reduce them un der absolute despotism it is then right, t is their duty, to throw off -ueh government, and to provide new guards for their future security." 1 do not mean in this letter to urge the throwing aside our present form of government; but I can say that the long train of abuses of our government, as it has been carried ml by the ruling powers, compels us to attempt by every means in our lower to place around us some fu ture safeguard, and at-k for a change in its administration to protect us in what our declaration of independ ei ce and constitution guarantees to us, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. To quote again, ""We have knelt at the foot of the throne." We have sought for redress of grievances. We have not been spurned from the foot of the throne, but at every step we are met with promises, and of late years old parties make a nice plat form to carry out the redress of grievances, and we trust them, and at the latter end to repay our trust we only receive a new promise, while the grievances continue. The Republican party during its years of administration refused to re dress our grievances. We, at the last campaign, elected a Democratic ad ministration by a large majority, giving them control of every branch of our government, and that party did not even have policy enough, as might have been expected from them, to have done, if for nothing else, for policy's sake, to carry out its own established platform that promised to redress our grievances and which every speaker of theirs in the last campaign promised to do if vve would trust their party in power only one time. They have been intrusted with that power and certainly our grievances are not redressed; and neither of the old parties, as now- constituted, (being bound together by the principle of spoils, and having been kept in power only by a system of election machinery that if per sisted in w ill, of itself, be destructive of the principle of a government for and by the people,) do not intend to redress these grievances. Therefore, I, as a citi.en of this government, believing in a govern ment administered under the princi ple of "Equal rights to all, special privileges to none," now must, by these presents say, that I now sever my connection with the present "so called" democratic party, and an nounce my intention that, in this im portant campaign I shall ally myself to the People's pam; the party that is seeking to make these United States "one grand, indivisible repub lic, throwing loving arms around all sections; omnipotent tor protection, powerless for oppression, cursing none, blessing all."

T li Original I it t-rrn-nt Wan in the f.fif of His lnlli-r- t-lf-tiin 1 he Senator' j;. iin sl Dial III I irt Wife Lie at lli Siile. Mr. Vance gave the Citizen the following letter to-day addressed "To the Public": "My father's request and direction to me was that his body should be laid to rest in the lot in Asheville Cemetery, selected and purchased by hinieelf, and that his tirst wife, the mother of his children, should be laid by his side. In compliance with his expressed wish he was placed there by the Senate committee, with the concurrence of the family and widow. There remained nearly two months when last Tuesday evening, late, the remains wer? secretly and surreptitiously taken up and placed in another lot in the cemetery. This was known to be without the knowl edge or consent of his sons, his only brother and his sisters even against i heir desire. "Within one half mile of the cemetery were one brother and three sisters of our father, and had either f these been consulted they would have protested against this high handed act, most certainly against the manner of removal, and especial ly against the opening of the casket, which latter was done, for what pur pose we do not know. "This removal might even have been submitted to had not the party making the removal, in writing, as a last and tinal ultimatum on the sub ject, refused to allow the wife of his early manhood, our mother, to be placed by his side. "This violation of sacred obliga tion was to me so revolting that I felt that it was my imperative duty to the memory of my dead father to replace the remains in the original place. This has been done and I trust and pray that they may remain in peace. Sad as has been this duty it was rendered necessary by the promise I repeatedly made my father It is also humiliating that all this has occurred and this publication made necessary, but I see no escape from it. We appeal to the sentiment of the good people of this commu nity and of the State of Xorth Caro lina to sustain us in our efforts to secure the permanent and peaceful repose of this good man, our father, in the spot of his own selection and choice, and where he was placed by his colleagues of the United States Senate with the full consent of the family and widow and where may rest by his side the mother of his children. Very respectfully, "Charles X. Vance." MRS. VANCE REPLIES. Characterize! the Statement of Mr. C. N Vaii-e as Falsehoods or "The Outgi villus of a Misordereil Brain," Washington', June 13.

Massachusetts Avenue, "1 June 13. 1894. j I sent for a priest to come to me the night my husband died; he was wholly unconscious and past the ministrations of any one. He never expressed his belief in the Catholic church, but the contrary. I only asked the priest to pray for him to comfort me, 1 bought the lot on the high hill, as you say, the day af ter my husband died and told Char les Vance of my wishes at the same time. I told him he could have his mother put there if he wished.

Pev. Dr. S. A.Steele, of Nashville, Term., delivered the annual bacca laureate sermon, Trinity made a happy hit in selecting Dr. Steele, for his sermon to-day was a maguiticent etiort. The text of the sermon wa3 taken from 1st Cor. Ib'th chapter and 13th verse. "Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong." Dr. Steele said it would be diffi cult to put in the form of words more practical and wholesome advice than that found in the text. The doctor then stated there are two reasons why we should watch. First because we will be overtaken with temptations which cannot be withstood if we are not watchful. Secondly we should be watchful that we may seize upon the great oppor tunities of life, which if not em braced at the right time will always cause us to be the losers. Addressing his words especially to the members of the graduating class, Dr. Steele urged them to "stand fast in the faith." He said that it is a fatal mistake to think a person is right because he is sincere. Sincer ity does net alter falsehood, and how ever sincere a soul is in error, it can not escape destruction. After elab orating upon tins th me in a most eloquent manner, the doctor warned the young gentlemen before him that they would never be safe until they stood upon the rock of truth. He told them that Paul was sincere in punishing the Christians; the Pil grim fathers were sincere in burning witches at the stake: the Hindoo de votee, the Mohammedan aud the Chi nese aie all sincere in their course in life, but none of them can be justi fied they are all in error. False hood is to the mind what foul air is to the lungs and destroys the very soul of man. Dr. Steele said that a man's char acter is the evolution or development of what he believes, and whatever enters into his character. Character is determined by the thoughts one broods over, therefore false beliefs, false thoughts, give false character. He told them in a manner that could not fail to be impressive, that sin cerity does not alter the case when a young man thinks a social drink will not eventually drag him down to ru in. His wrong belief ruins him. Dr. Steele urged the members of the graduating class to search for the reasons of their opinions, for no man's opinion can stand the test of this age, unless it is based upon somp reason. Likewise there can be no true life without firm convictions there must be individuality of thought and feelings. But it is not enough to have right opinions, "tuit you like men" and having settled your beliefs stand by them, aud if needs be stand by them alone like St. Paul did in the face of all opposition. The grandest thing in the world is a mind wedded to an idea, for which it w:ould be willing to die. He said that moral courage is needed also the moral courage that can face scorn as well as the cannon. The greatest need of the age is men. Aien with great moral cour age. I he reason why the war w ith hell is not carried on more success fully is because the preachers are afraid to live up to what they profess and believe. Ihe doctor said that the press is next to the pulpit in power for good or evil, and advised those who contemplated journalism to be sure their work is wielded in the right direction. The concluding words of Doctor Steele, urging young men to be strong, were eloquent aud powerful. On ihursday a large audience were highly entertained and delight ed with the brilliant oratorical ef forts of the young men selected from the graduating class of sixteen. promenade concert at the Col lege Inn at night closed the com mencement week and a successful session of Trinity College. rnxFYiSM fiAiNiwr; riRniiNin in north CAROLINA.

Aeide trui a hrp inter est in the success ot the publican party, I feel it adii' v i'lctimU-nt up on me, as chairmen of the Ntate com mittee, to give evi.iession to m views as to the t on .f the com ing campaign. There is a r. i throughout th- I voters and ti e n - .1 i 'i going on n. among tile ion i Uhdoiibt- edly in favor of the K publican par ty. Why is this so after only one year of Democr.itie rule? Not sim ply because the pe ipe fee the very self evident f 'et of 'Jit- incapacity of the I ctnocratu- j-ctv to govern thi. nation, but lm-.n.v the lo-jmblican party occupies high ground and stands for ju in - pies t hat are s non v mous with libeitv and prosperity. It is but natural that the people in their dire dist;e.-s should turn their faces toward thai party which ha. principles and the courage to em body them in legislation for the ben efit of the country. The position of the Republican party South, though powerless under machine Detnt cratio laws, is the same as in any oilier sections of the Cnion. It behooves us to follow in rhe wake of national Republicanism. nuBciate the principles of the pam in our State platform, nominate a straight Republican State ticket and tight for it boldly and fearlessly. Xo other line will lead to success. The party has followt it this line hereto fore, and especii lly in ls'.i. Then a new depart urr- was attempted, and to-day the Ut publican party in North Carolina stands on higher ground than any other Southern State. We have witnessed the disintegration of the party in other Southern States which adopted doubtful tactics. A bold, honest light, on party princi ples is the only way to keep the party organization intact, attract new ad herents or command the respect of the opposition. A straight Republi can State ticket is the test f loyaltv that all true lupublicans weleonn and insist upon, and anything short of that will not meet their just ex pectations. Concerning local politics, I would advise immediate and thorough or ganization in all the districts and counties on a straight Republican basis. In all Republican districts and counties run true Republicans In the districts and counties where the Democratic majority is over whelming and the Republicans think they can locally strengthen the partv and assist in the overthrow of the Democratic machine rule by uniting with Independent Democrats or Pop ulists, it might be advisable to do so. However, local Republicans must be the judges of the wisdom of this course in their own sections. The prospects of the Republican party are all that could be desired. One yiarof Democratic rule has plunged the country into a condition of distress never known before the hard times are unprecedented. The re-action has set in towards the Re publican party. To it the people turn to lead them out of the wilder ness of bankruptcy and ruin that has overtaken them under Democratic misrule. I believe Xorth Carolina is hon estly Republican, and if we will wage an aggressive, straightforward campaign, laying aside all personal differences within our rauks, we can place North Carolina in the Republi can column. There is a tide in the affairs of parties, as well a3 of men, which, taken at its flood, leads on to victory. Iet us take advantage of the tide that is on now, and redeem the ' Old Xorth State" in 'Ui, and if the Democrats will order their elec tion officers to "hold Robeson aud steal the State," let us coutinue to force them to hold their ground bv perjury and fraud.

Ry the act of March 3, ISM, the Weather Rureau got !t.il,l(M. So you see it is climbing up. After a while the eo.4 of this ser vice will be so tremendous that the weather prophets will do us more damage than the weather does. Ry the act of March the sum of $'2, 1 l.lioo was appropriated for the Agricultural Department, not counting the Weather Rureau. Thus you w ill see that for the fiscal year !.' the Democratic administra tion added nearly half a million dol lars to the extravagant sum which the Repudlieans were spending upon this department: That you may realize the frivolous aud useless manner in which mueli of these huge sums are spent, I will quote from a recent peeeh made in Congress by the Hon. J. C Black, the gentleman who is kind enough to occupy my seat in the House, w hile I am here at home teaching the lost childred of modern Democracy the beauties of Jeffersonian doc trine. Tom Watson. THK CKCrtONIiKKSS. If will be remembered by our friends that no charge made by us against the Democratic Bosses was more angrily denied than the charge that Crisp's Congress had spent more money than Heed's. The "Billion Dollar Congress" of the Republicans was justly condemn ed because it had squandered nearly- one hundred thousand million of your money. The Crisp Congress adjourned af ter having spent considerably more than the Reed Congress: but it now appears that in pite of this fact, other appropriations must be made to meet expenses incurred by author ity of the Crisp Congress. In other words, a still greater sura of money must be voted in order to make good the debts incurred by a Democratic CONTINCin ON FOURTH PAGK. AGAINST JARVIS. MS FRST tPRNCC A 60 KCC CUT.

Alarm caiiKcd hy thee reporU mii-aled the early date lived for the lleiuiK ralic State conven tion. A prominent lantern Democrat, our of the liumeroua "visiting ntatrMliien" who may le seen here every week in two and threes, remaiked that a convention later than August would ohviale I lie nrnity of nominating a ticket. It may he altogether u.-le! in any event, he miggentw! : '"If Han som lut'da the advice of the town ilitn'Uim and allows the convention to etidorw Cleve land's udminintratioii the I eino ratii ticket w ill le U-at hy .Vhmi voL-i." At this time that is ItaiiHoiu'n dilemma . He is rea.Honalily certain that it will be a ('leveland convention but he douhta his in -lliicin-e to prevent an out and out endorse ment of ihe adiniiiistration. lroubtlesfl the convention will hecouiMwed iargely of town ft-ople and lawyers. The indications are that farmer, as a rule, will not attend, ap prehensive thai they inav lie foroed lo huIh m it to a Cleveland endorsement. The nom ination of a Judical ticket will naturally at tract the lawyers, and they will easily con trol the jmlicy of the convention. The pre Ionderance of opinion, at this tiin, clearly I -lint to a ringing Cleveland endorseti.eiit. The reiolution is already prepared, and .iiile- the author of it is choked off, or aup prenw"! in niie way it will he pn4'utei. Mr. leveland has been so informed and has iieen impressed w ith the idea that it will be enthuwia'-tiiitlly alopted. The general dis jKifiilion, however, is to defer to ILansom'i w i.h in tlie matter, and whatever action is taken it will tiear the stamp of his recom mendation and approval. HON AMI AI.To RAT. The one object of the campaign is Ran- horns re el":tion. J he bUte rxiii vention will do his bidding blindly. He is boat and it'KTat. Simmons, he thinks, it is said. ought to remain at tlie head of the State inmitlee. That his methods are essential t a s'jccesxf til campaign, is the opinion of other liejiides Ransom. A "free lunch coun- t- r" ia to be a novel feature. It will be "take anything in fight for a Itansofit vote." Am now maped out the fight will 1 directed on legislative candidates. Jt is the avowed purpose of the machine to e!xt a Ransom lv;i'ature, let the wnserjuetioe le what it may to the Judicial and Congressional tick et. The congressional candidate indig nantly protest, bat they are where they can't kick. The Judicial candidates are in the .-a i ue hat box. There is no help for it. o candidate dare dinpute Ransom's authority, and, if hy some inconceivable blunder be hould be re-elected, machine domination in the State ill be tantamount to poetical despotism. The Federal patronage in the State ha been put entirely at his dipcition. It hat been used to maintain his own politi cal ascenilancy and jrpetute machine pol-iti-. Bvery Federal office holder in the State is a Ransom adherent. He owe bis pla e to Ransom's influcice, and Ransom'a influeiK ia the price of servile submission to Cleveland's dictation. Greed for Federal patronage inspired bis vote against the Sherman law. He betrayed and ruined the people. He voted for the unconditional retieal of the Sherman law in the teeth of Vance's mighty protest against the iniquitous scheme to destroy silver.
