To lion, William L. Wilson and
others, Committee, etc.
Gentlemen: In responding to
your formal notification of my
nomination to the presidency, by
the natioual Democracy, I hope 1
may be permitted to say at the out
set that continued reflection and ob
servation have confirmed me in mj
adherence to he opinions with which
I heretofore plainly and publicly de
clared, touching the questions in
volved in the canvass. This is a
time, above all others, when these
questions should be considered in
the light afforded by a sober appre
hension of the principles upon which
our government is based, and a clear
understanding of the relation it
bears to the people for whose benefit
it was created. We shall thu3 he
applied with a test by which the
due of any proposition relating to
maintenance and administration
. i our government can be ascertain-'
and by which the justice and
'.oiicsty of every political question
be judged. If doctrines or theories
.ir-; presented which do not satisfy
'Am test, local Americanism must
prcnonnce them false and mis
chievous. The protection of the people m
;re exclusive use and enjoyment of
t 'r property and earnings conce

post r.:.d Mission cf our free govs
(Yt:v.-.c" t. This design i3 so iuter

Such h'gii'

' '.h. .e tariff taxes
o per. uaded by any
v do not exist, or
the hands i f
ft el the burd;::
too palpably to
sophistry that tl:
are paid by foreign, is. Such taxes
representing a diminution of the
property rights cf the people, are
only justifiable when h :u and col
lected for the pur maintain-
ing our governing urnismng
the means for t u ...ie: ;diahment
of its legitimate . ;ir n.c: nd func
tions. Thi3 is t;;x..i:cr. r.:.der the
operation of a tariff f r :cw:;ue. It
accords with the profusions of
i.merican free institutions and its
justice and honesty answer the test
supplied by a correct appreciation of
the principles upon which these
institutions rest.
" This theory of tariff legislation
manifestly enjoins strict-economy
in public expenditures and their
limitation to legitimate uses, in as
much as it exhibits as absolute ex
tortion, by way of taxation, from
the substance of the people, beyon
the necessities of a careful and
proper administration of govern
ment. Opposed to this theory the
dogmt is no t bodily presented, tha
tariff taxation is justifiable for the
express purpose and intent of there
by promoting especial interests and
enterprises. Sach a proposition is
so clearly contrary to the spirit of
our constitution and so directly en
courages the disturbance by selflsh
ne83 and greed of patriotic senti
ment that it3 statement would rude
ly shock our people, if they had not
already veen insiduously allured
f j oni Hie safe land marks of princi
ple. Never have honest desire for
national growth, patriotic devotion
to country, and sincere regard for
those who toil been so betrayed to
the support of a pernicious doctrine,
In it3 behalf, the plea that our in
fant industries should be fostered
did service until discredited by our
stalwart growth. Then followed
the exigencies of a terrible war
which made our people heedless of
the opportunities for ulterior
schemes afforded by their willing
and patriotic payment of unpreces
dented tribute; and now, after a
long period of peace, when our over
burdened countrymen ask for re
lief and for a restoration to the ens
joyment of their incomes and earn
ing, they are met by the claim that
tariff taxation for the sake of pro
tection is an American system, the
continuance of which is necessary in
order that high wages may be paid
to our workingmen s.rA a home mar-,
ket provided for our farm product.
These pretenses should no longer
deceiye. The truth id that such a
system is directly antagonized by
every sentiment of justice and fair
ness of which Americans are pre-i
eminently proud. It is also true
that while our workinsrmcn and
farmers can, the least of all our peos
pie, defend themselves against the
harder home life which such tariff
taxation decrees, the working man
suffering from the importation and
employment of pauper labor insti
gated by his professed friends and
seeking secuiity for his interests ir
organized co-operation, still waits
for a division of the advantages se
cured to his employer under the
cover of a generons solicitude for
his wages, while the farmer is learns
ing that the prices of his products
are fixed in foreign markets, where
he suffers from a competition invited
and built up by the system he is
asked to support. The struggle for
unearned advantage at the doors of
the government tramples on the
rights of those who patiently rely
upon assurances of American equal-it)-,
tvery governmental concession
to clamorous favorites invites cor
ruption in political ; ffair3 by en
couraging the expenditure of money
to debauch suffrage in a support of
a policy directly favorable to private
and selfish gain. This in the end.
must strangle patriotism and weaken
popular con Odeuce in the rectitude
of Republican institutions. Though
the subject of tariff legislation in
volves a question of morals, we can
not, with impunity permit injustice
to taint the right and equity, which
is the life of the republic, and we
shall fail to reach our natioual des
tiny if greed and selflshues3 lead the
way. Recognizing these truths, the
national Democracy will seek, by the
publieatiou be just and sound prin
ciples, to equalize to our people the
blessings due thtm from tho gov'
eminent they support to promote our
countrymen a closer community of
interests, cemented by patriotism
and national pride, and to point out
a fair field, where prot-perous and
diversified American enterprise may
grow and thrive in the .vhole-:ome
atmosphere of American industry,
ingenuity and intelligence. Tariff
reform is still oar purpose.
Though we opnose the theory that
tariff laws may be passed, having for
their cbject the granting of discrim
inating and unfair governmental aid
to private venturer, we wage no exs
terminating war against any Ameri
can interests. We believe a read
justment can be accomplished, in
accordance with the principles we
profess, without disaster or demens
tation. We believe that the advants
ages of free raw material should be
accorded to our manufacturers, and
we contemplate a fair and careful
distribution of necessary tariff bur
dens, rather tlmn the precipitation
of free trade. We anticipate with
calmness the misrepresentation of
our motives and purposes, instigated
by a selfishness which Eeeks to hold
in unrelenting grasp its unfair ad
vantage under present tariff laws.
We will rely upon the intelligence of
our fellow countrynun to reject the
charge that a party comprising a
majority of our people is planning
the destruction or injury of Ameri
can interests; and we know they can
not be frightened by the spectre of
impossible f i ee trade.
THE FORCE lJILh.
The administration and manage
ment of our government depend
upon popular will. Federal power
is the instrument of that will, not
its master. Therefore the attempt
of the opponents of Democracy to
interfere with and control the suf
frage ot the States through Federal
agencies, develops a design, which
no explanation can mitigate, to res
verse the fundamental and safe rela
tions between, the people and their
government. Such an attempt can
not fail to be regarded by thoughts
lul men as proof of bold determins
ation to secure the ascendency of a
discredited party in reckless disre
g3rd of a free expression of the pop
ular will. To ref-ist such a scheme
is an impulse of Democracy. At
all times and in all places we trust
the people, as against a disposition
to force the way to Federal power,
we present to them as our claim to
their confidence and support, a
steady championship.of their rights
SOUND AND HONEST MONEY.
The people are en titled to sound,
honest money, absolutely sufficient
CONCORD N. C. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 6
in volume to supply their business
needs. Hut whatever may be the
form of the people's currency,
national or State whether gold,
silver, or paper it should be so
regulated and guarded by govern
mental action, or by wise and care
ful laws, that no one can be deluded
as to the certainty and stability of
its i-alue. Every dollar put into
the hands of the people should be of
the same intriis- value or purchas
ing power. With this condition
absolutely guaranteed, both gold
and si! i can be safely utilized
upon equal terms in the adjustment
of our currency. In dealing wi h
this subject no selfish scheme should
be allowed to intervene, and no
doubtful experiment should be at
tempted. The wants or our people,
arising from the deficiency of im.
perfect distribution of money circu
lation, ought to be fully and hon
estly recognized and efficiently
remedied. It should, however, bo
constantly remembered that the in
convenience or loss that might arise
from such a situation, can be much
easier borne than the universal dis
tress which must follow a discredit
ed currency.
CIVIL SERVICE.
Public officials are the agents of
the people. It is therefore their
duty to secure for those whom they
represent the hat and most efficient
performance of public work. This
plainly can be best accomplished by
regarding ascertained fitness in the
selection of government employees.
These considerations alonj are suffis
cient justification for an honest ad
herence to the letter and spirit of
civil service reform. There are,
however, other features of thi3 plan
which abundantly commend it.
Through its operation worthy men
in every station and condition of
American life is recognized in the!
distribution of public employment,
while its application tends to raise
the standard of political activity
from spoils hunting and unthink
ing pr.rty affiliation to the advocacy
of party principles by reason and
argument.
nrrxioN.
The American people are generous
and grateful; and they have im
proved these characteristics upon
their government. Therefore, all
patriotic and just citizens must com
mand liberal consideration for our
worthy veteran soldiers and for the
families of those who have died.
No complaint should be made of
the amount of public money paid to
those actually disabled or made ele
pendent by reason of army service.
But our pension roll should be a
roll of honor, uncontaminated by ill
deseit and un vitiated by demagogic
use. This is due to those whose
worthy names adorn the roll, and to
all our people who delight to honor
the brave and the true. It i3 also
due to those who in years to come
should be allowed to hear, reverent
ly and lovingly the story of Ameri
can patriotism and fortitude, illus
trated by our pension roll. The
preferences accorded to veteran sol-.
diers in public employment should
be secured to them honestly and
without evasion, and when capable
and worthy, their claim to the hope
ful regard and gratitude of their
countrymen should be ungrudgingly
acknowledged.
PATERNALISM.
The assurance to the people of the
utmost individual liberty consistent
with peace and good is a cardinal
principle of our government. This
gives no sanction to vexatious sumpt
uary law3 which unnecessarily inter
fere with such habits and customs of
our people as are not offensive to a
just moral sense and are not incon
sistent with good citizenship and the
public welfare. The same principle
requires that the line between the
subjects which are properly within
governmental control and those
which are more fittingly left the
parental regulation should be care
fully kept in view and enforced edu
cation, wisely deemed a proper pres
paration for citizenship, should not
imvolye the impairment of whole'
some parental authority nor do vio
lence to the household conscience
Paternalism in government finds no
approyal in the creed of democracy.
It is a symptom of misrule, whether
it is manifested in unauthorized
gifts or In unwarranted control of
personal and family affairs.
Our people still cherishing the
feeling of human fellowship which
belong to our beginning as a nation,
require their government to express
for them their sympathy with all
those who are oppressed under rule
les3 free than ours.
IMMIGRATION.
A generous hospitality, which is
X xl i IA tJ
one of the most prominent of our
national characteristics, prompts r.s
to welcome the worthy and indus
trious of all lands, to homes and
I citizenship among us. Tins hospit
able sentiment i3 not violated, how
ever, by careful and reasonable re-os
ulatious for the protection of the
public health, nor does it justify the
exception of immigrants who have
no appreciation of our institutions
and whose presence among us is a
men ice to peace and good order.
NICARAGUA! CANAL,
The importance of the construc
tion of the Nicaraguan ship canal
a3 a means of promoting commerce
between our States and with foreign
countries, and also as a contribution
by Americans to the enterprises
which advance the interests of the
world of civilization, should com
mend the project to governmental
approval and endorsement.
COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.
Our countrymen not ouly expect
from those who represent them in
public places a sedulous care for the
things which are directly and pal
pably related to their material inter
ests, but they also fully appreciate
the value of cultivating our national
pride and maintaining our national
honor. Both their material interests
and their national pride and honor
are involved in the success of the
Columbian Exposition; and they
will not be inclined to condone any
neglect of effort on the part of their
government tomsurein the grandeur
of thi3 event a fitting exhibit of
American growth and greatness, and
a splendid demonstration of Ameri
can patriotism.
CONCLUSION,
In an imperfect and incomplete
manner, I have thus endeavored 'o
state some of the things which ac
coreiwith the creed and intentions
of the party to which I have given
my lifelong allegiance. My attempt
has not been to instruct my country
men nor my party, but to remind
both that Democratic doctrine lies
near the principles of our govern
ment and tends to promote the peos
ide'a good. I am willing to be ac
cused of addressing my countrymen
upon trite topics and in homely
fashion, for I believe that import
tant truths are found on the surface
of thought, and that they should be
stated in direct and simple terms.
Though much is left unwritten, my
record as a public servant leaves no
excuse for misunderstanding my be
lief and position on the questions
which are now presented to the
voters of the laud for their decision.
Called for the third time to rep
resent the party of my choice in a
contest for the supremacy of Demo
cratic principles, my grateful appre
ciation of its confidence, le33 than
ever, effaces the solemn sense of my
responsibility.
If the actiou of the convention
you represent shall be endorsed by
the suffrages 'of my countrymen, I
will assume the duties of the great
office for which I have been nomi
nated, knowing full well its labors
and perplexities, and with humble
reliance upon the Divine Being, in
finite in power to aid, and constant
in a watchful care over our favored
nation.
Yours very truly,
G rover Cleveland.

Fayetteville, Sept, 27. Weaver,
Mrs. Lease and Exum spoke here
today to a cro Ad of from 500 to
1,000 people, fully one-half or two
thirds of whom were Democrats
Weaver showed up a regular dema
gogue, without argument or reason
por. raying the evils of the day
and the poverty stricken condition
of the farmers, advancing nothing
wnatever as a remedy. His arraign
ment of the Democrats for the bad
laws, hard times, etc , was as bitter
and scathing as hi3 abuse of the
Republicans for something that the
Republicans are alone responsible
for. As a demagogue he is pro
nounced success.
Mra. Lease followed in the same
iine, though her speech was more of
a school clap-trap popycock decla
mation, abounding in well-rounded
sentences and glittering generalities.
Exum substantially informed the
people who he wa3 and who he
wanted without launching upoii the
issues at all.
At the close W G Gaster mount
ed the speakers' stand and proposed
"three cheers for our next President,
G rover Cleveland," when a yell went
up by the side of which the famous
"rebel yell" would have paled into
msignilicance. Iiat3 went up in
all parts of the crowd and the spon
taneous response must have con
vinced Weaver that he and his doc
trine will find no lodging-place in
the hearts of our people.
The crowd was orderly and no
disrespect was shown anyone. At
the conclusion ot Weaver's remarks
not a cheer was given; not a sound
wa3 heard. Jus. II Pou speaks in
reply here tonight.

of a newspaper himself.
In conclusion Mr. Glenn delivered
to Mr, Butler a message from Mrs.
Senator Yance. The scene was in
tensely dramatic. It wa3 the ouly
time Mr. Butler showed any cino-.
tion. During the hour and a half
of stein denunciation and vitriolic
irony he scarcely wineed under the
burning bsh. But now he blanched
visibly. "His coward lips did from
their color fly," and his eyes dropped,
unable to meet Mr. Glenn's gaze.

Bather an anomalous stite of af
fairs exist now in the politics of
Elbert county, Ga. At the begin
ning of the race, Mr. L II O Mar
tin, Democrat, announced himself a
candidate. Soon after that, Dr. D
P Bell. Democrat, announced him
self. When the Third party met
they nominated Dr. J B Bell,
elder brother of Dr. D P Bell. As
the Democrats outnumber the thirds
two to one, and the Democrats were
pretty equally divided between their
candidates, things began to look
rather squally. But, last week,
Colonel Martin nobly came forward
and withdrew from the race, thus
insuring the election of Dr. D P
Bell, Democrat. The anomoly of
the case 13 two brothers, both doc
tors, running for the same office, in
the same county, on entirely differ
ent platforms.

Buleicrh, N. C, Sept. 29. General
J B Weaver, Third party nominee
for President, arrived here early
this morning and to-day filled the
tir3t of his two regular appointments
in North Carolina. A procession
was formed which Third partymen
claimed contained 2,000 people.
There were ICS mo'inted men and 48
vehicles in line. Weaver, his wife,
and Mrs. Lease were in a carriage
with Otho Wilson, State chairman
of the party. A C Green, of Wake,
was chief marshal and his assistants
wore sashes of white cotton bagging.
About one fifth in the procession
were negroes and as the paraders
moved along they cheered or sang
their campaign song, "Good Bye,
old Party, Good Bye."
The speaking place was at one of
the parks, where an audience of 3,000
gathered, many being Democrats.
Weaver was introduces! by Chair
man Wilson and spoke an hour and
a half, lie waa listened to atten
tively and shown every courtesy.
Ele wore a big rosette made of corn
husks. White and colored marshals
were in the. crowd ou the platform.
Mrs. Lease followed Gen. Weaver,
speaking an hour and fifteen
minuts.
Better estimates of the crowd at
the speaking place put it at 2,000.
It is positively asserted that of this,
half were Democrats and llepubli-
cans. lhe Democrats are wen
pleased at the showing made by the
Third party to-day. After all the
Third party efforts to get people
here from five congressional dis
tricts, there were only 1,200 real.
members of the party present,
though it was claimed th:vt twenty
counties had representation. Weaver
spoke an hour and a quarter. Mrp.
Lease spoke an hour and then the
audience dispersed. There waa no
demonstration and no sensation of
any kind. Weaver a:id his party
left at 5 o'clock via Weldon for
Rocky Mount.

Durham yesterday morning, return

captain had a letter from his son, W

favorable account of the party, now

what we here might suppose, the

I tried a number of remedies, but none

"ISetween the ages of five and fiftefln,
I was troubled with a kind of salt,
rheum, or eruption, chiefly confined to
the legs, and especially to tho bend of
the knee above the calf. Here, running
sores formed which would scab over,
but would break immediately on mov
ing the leg. My mother tried evrry
th?ng she could think of, but ali;wan
without avail. Although a child, I read
in the papers about the beneficial offecta
of Ayer's Pills, and persuaded my moth
er to let ijio try them. With no great
faith in tho result, Bhe procured . a-
Ayer's Pills
and I began to use them, and soon
noticed an improvement. Encouraged
by this, I kept on till I took two boxes,
when the sores disappeared and havo
never troubled me since." II. Chipman,

"I suffered for years from stomacu
