THE 1.ATIMT OOLDHIO ICHIMC The Democratic goldbug organs are putting lorm great eaorw io keep the Democratic party together. They have almost stopped talking gold aad are now talking party har mony. They say that they will sup port any kind of a platform and candidate to keep the party to gether. This it not only true with Northern gold papers, but is espe- pecially noticeable in the case of the Charlotte Observer. The reason for these tactics on the part of the gold papers is plain They know that free silver will never come through the Democratic party no matter how much it ia promised. But they know equally well that if the Peoples Tarty gets in power that it will keep its promises and give the people a return of good government and prosperity. lucre-tore these gold papers are trying to hold the silver men in the Democratic party. This they know is the most effective way of defeat ing free coinage and of serving tliei masters the British gold ring. It is a smart game, but no free m1 ver man needs to he tooled by it unless he wants to be fooled. DOINGS AT CHICAGO ON THE tVE OF THE MEETING Of THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. AT GUILFORD BATTLE MOUND. Ict4rata a thm AaaaaJ 5aat4r Ball tit Orator A lawyer is a man who is after a ff. It is bis business to make a fee. There have been few cases, if indeed there ever wan a case in law, with a side too mean for some lawyer to take if tho fee was forthcoming. The ethics of the legal profession are such as to justify the conscience of the lawyer in defending a known scoundrel, on the ground that a man is entitled to a fair trial. We have no argument to advance here against this. It is merely cited to emphasize the fact that fee hunting is the avo cation of the lawyer. The last fow Congresses have been dominated by lawyers. In the pres ent Congress, of the ninety members of the Senato more than sixty are lawyers. Of the X( members of the Uouao, more than 1130 are law yers. Thus, lawyers, as a class, dominate both branches of Congress What a'o the records of these law yer CongrtssesT What have they done for tho people! We let the people answer for themselves. Being a member of Congress does not debar a lawyer from continuing the practice of Lis profession. In fact thvrw is very frequent mention of lawyers having their seats to at tend to some taw business. There is no restriction on the kind of legal business n may aiteua io. it ne ehooses, he may serve a monopoly, or a trust, or a lobby, or a railroad corporation or anything t lsa as legal counsel, iiiese organizations are always at the door of Congress seek AiSOTHKK VICTIM OF ILUTOCIlACY. Some months ago Prof. Bemis was compelled to resign his chair in the Chicago University because he taught the injustice and danger of trusts and monopolies.

All eye are centred on Chicago this week. TLe National Democratic ton- vent iou meets there. It is an event of unusual interest and importance, for the work of tbat convention will have much todo with the possible unity oftL silver forces of the country, thereby se curing victory. If the convention hail show by it. action ana worn mai the party it represents has patriot ism enouiru to put principle above party, three million votes will endorse that action through their representa tives of the l'eonles J'arty convention and the silver convention at bt.

Louis Con ventions will be sure to uo wiiai luej can t see that party defeated. 1 n fact f the Democratic party acts in a stub born and partisan way now, every hon est patriot in the country will take up the cry that the "Democratic party must be dostroyed," and that will be the first aim hereafter of patriotic cit izens the country over. There can be no excuse for making a blunder. The Chicago delegates know they run do something to unite the silver forces of the country, and if they shall refuse to do so, it will be the strongest evidence that their purpose is to keep the silver people divided. They must not expect patriots to put any confidence in the Democratic organization. 1 lie none and ilei tis of that party are all that can command confidence now. Promises .nil pledges by that party will not cannot be listened to. They have here tofore been too recklessly broken. ireat commotion is going on now in the Windy city. The silver forces feel jubilant because they have a ma jority of delegates, and believe they can carry every thing their own way. In fac t, they have a majority of more than two hundred delegates, but they have not the necessary two-thirds to nominate a candidate. The silver men are led by Senators Harris, of Tennes see; Jones, ot Arkansas; Turpie, of Indiana; Tillman, of nouth Carolina; Speaker Crisp, of Georgia; Governor Altgeld, of Illinois, and others. The last named man is exercising more in fluence than any other one man. The gold standard Democrats are taking every possible advantage of the fact that the silver men have not the to nominate a taught. A teacher who will oppose that doctrine cannot hold a position two-thirds necessary in that rich "educational" establish- candidate and the goldites are making ment.

Senator Butler, the orator of tbe day, and tbe distinguished visitors were driven over from Greensboro, ar riving at the grounds at 11 o'clock; when they were escorted to tbe large and elegant auditorium. Dr. Kgbert Smith, Captain of tbe Guilford Battle Ground Company, offered an eloquent and earnest prayer for deliverance from certain national evils, among which he named anarchy, organized selfishness, and partisanship. Judge D. Scbenck, the venerable and distiu guished president of the Guilford Hat- tie Ground Co., introduced .senator ltutler, the speaker of the day. The speaker's subject was: "The part played in North Carolina for civil and religious liberty during our Colonial and Kevolutionary period." He tirst reviewed briefly the strug gle made for civil and religious liber ty in J-.ngland, and showed tbe source from which our ancestors got their in dependent spirit, and their determi nation to light oppression. He said : "It was in the 12th cen tury that our English ancestors re belled against the weakness and tyr anny of King John, and wrested from him the Magna ( barter, tho great charter of liberty and tbe corner-stone of Anglo-Saxon freedom." He also sketched the struggle made for reli gious liberty, showing how the refor mation began when Martin Luther and his associates rebelled against tbe abuses of the Church, and the tyran nous exactions of the Pope at Kome. But, in this connection be called at tention to the fact that the civil and religious liberty which the people of England enjoy to-day was largely ac quired and established after the American Revolution, and said that it was the patriotic example of the American colonies that taught the mother country what true liberty was. He said that there was so much op pression in England from the Church and State during the 17th and 18th centuries that the highest type of tbe Christian and the patriot were forced to seek larger civil and religious lib erties in the wilderness of the West ern Hemisphere. He showed how the very evils from UUireat direction of their effort If MtT In closing, he paid a glowing tribute to Judge ScbeDck and hie co-laborers who bad worked so faithfully to per petuate the memory of oar honored dead. lie said tbat bo nation woo Id long prewrve iu liberty aad proepr unlc4 it kept arlew tbe firee of lib erty by roaxoemoriting tbe valorous deeds of its heroes, aad by building monuments, and through other Jmeaos, to set a standard and an example for future generation.

The matter of selecting delegates at large to the St. Ixuis convention was first taken up. Tbe State is entitled to ninety-five delegates. Tbe State com mittee, at it April meeting apportion ed nine delegate to each Congressional district, except tbe ninth, which was given four delegate. Tbi appoint ment provided for seventy-six, of tbe ninety-five delegates, to be elected by ucn metnod a tne district commit tee might devise. Of the remaining nineteen delegates the State commit tee chose seven these being tbe mem bers of the central committee and tbe secretary, and instructed tbe central committee to appoint the remaining twelve. Accordingly tbe central committee elected the following twelve delegates : J. It. Lloyd of Edgecombe, E. A. Moye of l'itt, A. C. Green of Wake, M. L. Wood of Bertie, J. M. Mewborne of Lenoir, W. II.

St. John, who was president of the Mercantile Na tional bank of New York. A few years ago the bankers appointed Mr. St. John, as a special representative, to collect facts and prepare a strong argument against the free coinage of silver. He began to study the question and his thorough investi gation soon convinced him that no honest argument could be offered against that principle. Instead ot being able to do the work he under took, he became a convert to aud strong champion of the free silver cause. No honest and intelligent man on earth can come to any other conclu sion after he has investigated the matter. The position of bankers generally is that free silver will hurt their business. Thev take no ac- Mr. St. John refused to join them in their course. He stood bv prin ciple and right. Such a position as this is what the national banking combine despises. They therefore brought on Mr. St. John such a pressure as to make him resign the presidency of tho bank.

But if a member of Congress who is NOT a lawyer shouid serve these organizations in any way, and thculd be caaght at it, that member would be charged with ACCtrTiNo a Bribe!! Do you seel We are not making any charge against lawyers. We are stating facts, though, that cannot be de nied; and facts like these, with the possibilities tbat attend them, are dangerous. It is a fact that there has been much legislation in favor of trusts, railroad corporations and the like, and it is a fact that these organizations always have represen tatives arouud the halls of Congress seeking more special legislation. It ia a fact that they always employ lawyers to aid and counsel them; and it ia a fact that, up to date, they have gotten pretty much every thing they wanted, while the people have gotten nothing. In conclusion, we emphatically de clare that lawyers have a full and unrestricted right to hold office. If they can bamboozle the people into giving them ALL the offices they, perhaps, have a right to do that. But in view of the fact that the last Congresses have been over whelmingly dominated by them, and remembering the record of legisla tion made by these Congresses, we think we have a right to declare tha' the people ait unwisely in trust tcgtUir Kgis'ation to the hands of composed of ia-masir g oouy n jot ity of lawyers.

President Geo. T. Winston has re signed the Presidency of the State University, at Chapel Hill, and will accept the Presidency of the Texas State University to which he has been elected. If a vigorous protest would interfere with this arrange ment, we would make that protest at once. It means a distinct and appreciable loss to North Carolina. Under President Winston's adminis tration the University has grown and flourished as never before in its history a clear resultant of superior executive ability and indomitable energy. The well deserved reputa tion he has won needs no stronger emphasis than the fact that a State, thousands of miles away, hears of it and concludes that such a man must bo at the head of its chief institution of learning. The State of Texas may congratu late itself. We would offer our con gratulations if we did not, at this moment, feel as though we had a grievance against it for levying a heavy tribute on us. If this feelmg shall ever wear off we may try to look pleasant about it hereafter. But whether we shall do this or not, we do most cordially and unreserved ly commend Dr. Winston to the peo pie of the "Lone Star" State as a m in to whom they may look for the wisest couQsel,and in whom they will not be disappointed. and other prominent gold Democrats, They are making a desperate struggle to prevent the Democratic party lrom declaring for silver. If this should be done, the goldites would no longer have two parties which the Money l'ower could make fight each other over the tariff while keeping the great financial question in the background. The Money l'ower has heretofore own ed and controlled both the old parties, and that power dreads to see even the apparent loss of control over either one of them. Cleveland has made a last appeal to the party to stand for gold in a letter he wrote to Tammany Hall, the great goldbug Democratic society of New York. The men talked off for Presidential candidates are island, of Missouri: J'oies', of Towa; Bryan, of Nebraska; Patterson, of Pennsylvania; Vice President Stevenson, of Illinois. Bland seems to have a stronger support than any other candidate. Teller, the only man the Democrats can nominate on whom all the silver forces would unite, has a pretty strong backing and has been growing in strength. His nomi nation would mean a sweeping silver victory this year. In fact he is the only man who can be named by the Democrats who can be elected over McKinley, but the " party spirit" may be strong; enough among the delegates to prevent a majority from nominating anything but "an old time Democrat" and such a nominee as that will cer tainly be defeated in November. ' Some gold men are talking about bolting the convention if it declares for silver, but most of them advise against a bolt. It is their purpose to stay iu the party in the hope that they can get control of it at some other time, it they can't control now. So they will probably stay in the party, though they would vote against free silver candidates at the polls. Such a party as this composed of both gold men and silver men would always be dangerous. A lot ot demagogery is being played at Chicago. A big goldbug paper has had a picture of Bland printed. It rep resents him standing at the head of a team of horses pulling a mowing ma chine. He is in his shirt sleeves, and he is boomed up as the "farmers'" can didate. This picture bothered the Boies men, and they set to work to get a picture of Boies that would make bim look more like a farmer than Blaad. These politicians and tricksters seem to be sticking to their opinion that the real farmers of the country are a set of d-d fools, and will swallow any thing that they (the tricksters) may put up and tag it "farmer." But we shall see. 'Farmer" Boies, of Iowa, got uneasy at the reports coming from Chicago to CKfcKD Ok' TUK L4WVKK CONVEN TION. "Resolved, That the earth and the fullness thereof are reserved by the Lord for His saints. "Resolved, Thatwa are the saints." Considering the fact that the law yers took about everything in sight his home at Waterloo, and went to the Windy city to try to help his friends stem the rising tide in favor of Bland or Teller. This scared the Bland men into a sort of panic and they telegraph ed "farmer" Bland to come to Chicago quick to do 'farmer" Boies up. But then somebody started the cry that it was not the proper thing for a Presi dential candidate to be on the grounds, log-rolling; that such a thing had never been heard of, and that it was indecent, etc. This cry gained strength, and it got so strong that it 6cared "farmer" Boies out of Chicago and back to his home at Waterloo."Farmer" Bland's bands then telegraphed him that he need not come; that they had done "farmer" Boies up themselves and his help would not be needed. The name of Judge Walter Clark will be presented to the convention as a candidate for tbe Vice-Presidential nomination by the North Carolina del egation. Col. A. M. Waddell, it is un derstood, will make the nominating speech. Judge Clark has considerable strength in California and other parts of the West and will probably show a strong .support. Among the more recent occurrences on the ground is a letter from Vice President Stevenson, saying he is a silver man and has been one since 1878. This is the first time this states man has spoken on this question in two years. The gold men at once took up his cause and are booming him for the nomination. He would suit the tinued to oppress them here in Amer ica, until the time of the Revolution. lie spoke of the restless nature of the early settlers of the Carolinas un der oppression and religious intoler ance. He called attention to tbe fact that our Colonial ancestors frequently protested against the oppression of the Royal Governors, placed to rule over us by the British Crown, and how, on more than one occasion, long before the Revolution, Royal Gover nors of the Carolinas were driven from our quarters; how not only the first protest against British oppression came from the colonists of North Carolina, but, also, how the first bold declaration for independence on American soil was made at Mecklen burg, on May 20th, 1775; and how the spring of 1776 the General Assem bly of this colony instructed their del egates to the Continental Congress vote there for absolute independence from the British Crown, before the people of any other colony had dared to take such a bold and daring step. He showed bow the Regulars of Ala mance made the first strike for liberty by force, and that the first battle of the Revolution in the South was fought at Moore's Creek, in North Carolina, and also that one of the last great battles, and tbe one that had more to do with breaking the English forces, and driving Comwallis to sur render at Yorktown, was fought at Uuilford uourt Jiouse. He next called attention to the part that North Carolina played in refus ing to adopt the Constitution until the first ten most important amend ments to the Constitution were added. Senator Butler then drew a picture of the dangers and evils that now threaten the Republic. He quoted from the 10th chapter of Revelations, where John said : "I Baw three unclean spirits, like frogs, come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of tbe beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet." Commenting upon this quotation, he said: "I do not essay to appear in the role of a prophet, or even to express an opinion as to the meaning of that part of the Scriptures, as given us by the Divine Revelator; but I see to-day, with my own eyes, three unclean spir its in our body politic : One is an archy, which may be said to come out of the mouth of the dragon ; the sec ond is organized avarice, which may be said to come out of the mouth of the beast; and the third is blind and intolerant partisanship, which may be said to come out of the mouth of the false prophet." He said that anarchy was the result of oppression or ignorance; and that the existence of anarchy was a warn ing note tbat something was wrong, and it should behoove patriots and statesmen to look to the other end of the social strata and there find the cause that produces anarchy. He said that he had no patience or sympathy pluck out a ffoiMt many of the parrot's I v. f r." " i . if. . c t.tl gold-tinted feathers. e5lf. th!,Plop .L5!

He said that until the present cen tury, avarice seldom appeared in an organized form, and then only to a limited degree; but that the new in dustrial conditions, especially of the last half century, had made it possible for avarice to organize and become more oppressive than was King John of England, or any tyrant upon any throne.

Chairmen of Congressional and County Committees are specially re quested to send names of delegates elected to the National Convention at St. Louis as soon as they are elected, so tbat an official and properly certified list of them may be made up. Hal Ayes, Sec'y.ofCom. 1. 8. iMum For Uonereaa, claimed that he had a small bill of I about six dollars against Mr. Butler for ice, and that be bad frequently sent the bill to bim without receiving pay ment. Ot course, every one under stands tbat it was simply one of these little matters tbat are often overlooked by very busy man who are engrossed with many and important affair. When Senator Butler came to Wil mington last Friday to make a silver speech, this ice man, if ha bad been very anxious for his money, might have tee n hi in or sent a messenger to him calling bis attention to tbe matter, and gotten hi money, but instead oi having the decency to do thi. and doubtless instigated by certain malig nant and unscrupulous nmchiiie Dem ocrat', he Took advantage of tbe oc casion, went to the Justice of the Peace, got out a warrant, and bad Sen ator Butler sighted to appear for judgment. Of course Senator Butler did not appear before the Magistrate but tbe bill was promptly paid as soon as his attention was called to it, just as it would have been without this act of inhospitality and unspeak able meanness. But the purposes of this ice man and those of his kind have been accomplished. They had obtained a chance to publish what they thought would be a scandal on Sena tor Butler, and so on tbe very next morning we find this mean and ma levolent publication. It is surprising tbat any reputable newspaper should stoop to lend its columns to such a con temptible proceeding, and there is certainly not a right thinking citizen in Wilmington wbo can endorse it. Even those business men in Wilming ton who cannot agree with Senator Butler on the financial question have cause to appreciate, and to thank him for his successful efforts In securing an appropriation in the River and Harbor bill sufficient to give Wilming ton twenty feet water at the mouth of Cape Fear. For tbe last few months tbe Demo cratic machine seems to have been on its good behaviour; but this contempt ible conduct toward Senator Butler on last Friday shows that some of it at least is no better now than when it rotten-egged Mr. Butler, insulted Pop ulist candidates and tried to disgrace and imprison S. Otbo Wilson without a cause, unless in the eyes of tbe Dem ocratic machine a man commits an un- 3R A.T.EIG U (lead quarters forfte Best, On!
