THE WAY lit ADVOCATES FISIOS
"TLo datv of tho Democratic
p .rty is plain. It wust destroy P.e
pablican rule, ami all other ru'.o
vitiated by republican taint, in
North Carolina. To do tLis it
must be true to its principles,
turning neither to the right "ior to
the It-ft, and it most ce everj ef
fort that in consistent with honor
to cany out Domocratio princi
pies. It would ba dishonorable
for tL8 Democrats BDTfVneie to
accept aa allies uioa who support
the crjli Uandard or ni'gro domi
nation, and dfeat would be

than any alliance with those who
are committed to either the gold
standard or negrirule
The Democratic convention

rround upon which it and the 30.
000 or 40,000 former Democrats
who left the party in lS'.i'J, can
stand and fight shoulder to should
er for the restoration of the con
d.tiouB that prevailed in Noitl
Carolina when Vance was the
great party leader. la there wis
itnm finonrrh in the white men Of
the State to forget the past, lay
aside prejudice, trample side w
sues under foot, and make a great
campaign to utterly crush the
power of the negro and his base
allies ? If Vance were alive there
is pot room to doubt that he
would find or make a w ay tor each
united action aa would drive the
goldbugs and negrophilists out of
power with the thunder of pub
lie indication. Is the spirit of
Vance dead ? Is there no Moses
in iih out of tiie wilderness of
an oppressive federal ftdministra-
tion and a ecandaious State ad-
ministration into the promised
lanJctju;'- legislation and clean
government ?" 'e6 and Obser
ver. And this is tho way the News
and Observer advocates fusion or
s ".' co-operation with tho party that
is responsible for the conditions
; ot which it complains.
' If offering to fuse now at the
' "'bidding of Marion Butler, who has
f,hut the Senatorial door ueaiubt

publican alley, which he d:d by a
clear cane of betrayal and treach
ery, we say, if this is not turning
iar to the left we do not know
what would be. If such a course,
too. is honorable, we uust learn
' a now code of moral. Who, too,
is so committed to the gold stand

fusion of the Populists and
the Republicans and they
fetl that they would now be rich
ly earning the contempt of all
high minded men in forming an
alliance with the party that stands
ready to accept terms from just
any party at all.
It we understand the temper of
the Democracy of Cabarrus it is
that if there are but two beds and
there is a negro in one and a white
man in the other who has been
bleeping with the negro and will do
ho again svhen it suits, the Demo
cracy will simply sleep on the

Lastly we wonld say to the edi

t.O.: jBOlItVSIEITIII.O.
We ' . st heartily congratu
late th .emocracy of Cabar-
ros it. representative body
last t?a raay. The con.ven.
tion ws vtry harmonious and
business like. But one little
diiTerer. h occurred and that
was goc Nhumored,
Mr. V G Means was unani
moualy '-adorsed and will go
before t' e judicial convention
with a g od strong pull for the
solicitor hip for this the 8th
district.
We et penally congratulate
the Dem eracy of the county
on the fiif, spontaneous and
spirited opposition to all fu
sion or cooperation with
other paities. The following
is the resolution verbatim:
"Resolved, That the dele
sates from Cabarrus county to
the Democratic State, Judicial
and congressional conventions
are hereby instructed to vote
against fusion or co-operation
with any party or faction of
any party for any purpose
whatsoever."
Every vote in convention
was enthusiastically cast for
the resolution save those of
the delegates from No. K
township, and their negative
vote was said to mean an un
wiliingness to instruct. It is
stated on good authority that
this delegation would have
made the vote unanimous if it
had been asked to do so.
The fact that no effort had
teen mads to pack the cons
vention or influence the dele
gates to cast the vote as they
did proves beyond a cavil that
the party in the county is un
quniifiedly opposed to laying
its principles aside to help
any other party to tiiumph at
its expense.
When we consider that the
free coinage of silver is looked
upon by so many as being the
very key to restored pros
perity and that its great cham
pion, vVni. J Bryan, and Nas
tional Chairman Jones, have
appealed eo strongly for just
any combination that would
ten ! to centre all its advocates
upon one grand effort to get
free coinage we are impressed
that the Democrats of Cabar
rn5 are doing their own think
ing. It is to be hoped that our
delegation will attend the con
vention in Raleigh Thursday
iu full furee and will stand
firmly against this unwise and
ruinous tendency to walk
right into Marion Butler's
trap. ;
Let the protest be made
with vigor now at the right
time. It is better to hold the
Democracy together by a sen-
pible and dignified course
(and let the Populists choose
or then sol yes) than to win
the disrespect and even the
contempt of all parties to
raich a few that are oo the
hlorkfor the highest bidder.
If the convention should
follow the leanings of that hot
bed of party debauchery in
Wake county it will merit the
t.'.untd and the contemptuous
sneers thut the Populists are
wont to bestow upon the
party. Let it1! stand firm.

Our apologies are due and are
hereby tendered to Misses Eliza
beth Mary Vose, ot Georgia, and
Margaret Ella Walter, of Concord,
whose names belong in the list of
graduates of Mont Amcena Fe

The explanation is that the entire

counted for by general human
imperfection the two names were
overlooked and the proof reader
did not detect the ommhsion. We
hope this will be as satisfactory to

we wonld gladly have spared the

the fact that Mr. Butler and even
Governor Puissell is endorsed and

they impugn the sincerity of the
Democrats and make, 'or rather
Bo?s Butler makes, a proposed
test of Democratic sinoerity by of
fering to unite with us against tbe

the offices that tbe Republicans
gave them. It is absolutely brazen
and were we to accept it we would
expect to gain their own dire con

silly a thing. Butler is brazen

A Til HILLING ACCOUNT
or tho Bombardment ef Nan Juan
Written By n Hnrcesn on In De
Irolt-A Reliable Aeeoaal and la
tereallac From ea-laalas lo Kart.
The following aocoont of tbe
bombardment at San Joan was re
ceived from Dr. Victor Means, who
is surgeon in the gan boat Detroi',
which was written to bis brother,
Mr Q o. W M.ao-:
"We left Key West oo tbe nigbt
of tbe 3rd of May and arrived off
Havana the next day at noo: . Im
mediately the Flagship joined ns
and o durfd tbe Detroit, I iwa and
Indiana to go with her to the wests
ward at full speed ; off Cardenas e
picked op the Montgomery ard tbe
two monitors, A mpbitrite and T'er
ror. We sooj learned our destina
tion was with S mpsou at Porto
R 0). I sap pose you bare read the
account of tbe bombwdmenf, hows
ever I sill try to tell yon about it.
Our great hope wua to meet the
Spanish tquadron ei hrr outside of
the harbor of S n Juan, or if pos
sible to ea ch tbm napping ius.de,
in wbich cue we would bav. con
centrated tbe fire of the entire
rqoadrcn on tbe first ship that same
out and sweep her at the month of
the harbor, whero theie is already a
sunken vessel, soppoied to be fitted
with itjcuaiice; this woald have
CauipV.ely blocked the entrance,
and hiniuiid the euomy in, and e
would hate tired at lpinrr. -
We arrived at Sn Jaau on tbe
evening ef the 13th before daylight.
We immediately went in oolumn of
bittle arranged in the following or.
der: Detroit leading the Iowa
(temporarily flagship), Indians, New
York, Amphitnte, Terror and Mont
gomery, wbich stopped at tbe wes
bide of harbor to silence, if neces
ear?, a small battery on thai tide
called Camelo. Tbe Detroit was
1 000 yards ahead of the Iowa. The
Detroit passed in front of Morro, the
main battery on the eistside of the
harbor, distant 1,100 jardi, just
about tie break ff day. All was
silsnt in the fort and nothing to be
teen or heard. At 5 15 tbe Iowa
reached the front of the fort and bi
gsn to open fire, in about ten min
ates the fort replied, each of the
other ships coming up in suooeadoa
ana bring as rapidly as they could
and you can truly say that it was
the liveliest revielle tbe Spaniard
in that fort ever hid. As eooa
the ships readied the point where
tbe Detroit had stopped and which
bad been designated by the Admiral
for os to st p, they went to port and
circled anond to the west and came
op a . The Detroit had been
ordere 1 to stop there la case tbe fleet
was inside so as to dis'.roy any tor
pedo boits that m'ght run oat of the
harbor. After running tbe fiont of
Morro, it was thought . tb-tt she
woald be in a comparatively safe
spot as there was supposed to be on
the treat sUonnlya I nail battery,
which ihe Detroit cju J easily s'l
euc. But lo! ind behold 1 on that
du was tbe largest and most power
ful battery and still further east
smaller but powerfal b-itteiy, to we
were between a cross tire and there
i; stayed tor n arly tnree qi trier
of an boar until the terror passed
n',t the Flagship fjc some reason
fii'i tg to signal in. It ii a miraole
that we were col b o-vd into atoms,
bat we were not touched. Toe AJ.
miral told Captain Dayton tbat be
expected ni to be riddled before we
got cut. Ai soon a the Terror
passtd we followed ahd when outside
tbe Flagship signalled the Mont
gomery and Detroit not to follow.
Toe other ships then circled aronnd
twice more, each stopping in front
of the fort i short while, pouring in
broadside after broadside. Then
we withdrew. The Spaniardi were
still popping away.
Xbere is no telling the damage
done, bat the slacgbt r mast have
been terrible On the New York
one man was killed and three in
jared by pieces of bnrsted shell
wbiob pierced a smokestack. Three
were injured on ths Iowa. N
farther damage was done to th.
ships or ciew. I do not know wbj
the Admiral disc ntinatd the firing
until tbe ba'teries wr-re silenced,
