It is not our pu rpoae-j to : weary
those who differ wi:h ua onrthe. ojd
man on whom Democracy h s split
and the abnie of whom-seemed to
,- . t ft .i v-
give impetus to drifts that no "one
would hare suspected were Demo-
cratic acmi years ago. Jiut one
years ago,
can hardly read of a coriYenton" or
large poll' ical githering ;n, which
the Ei President ia cot branded as
a character far below that which has
ever nseu to the position of presi
dent of the Uaited States. Let it
D3 remembered that no really bad
man nor man-devoid of some real
greatnes has ever become president
of the United States,
The following ia the result of an
interview reported in the Charlotte
Observer by J0 Troj:
'Groyer Oleyeiand'has ,been ,and
u now a eubjec' cf so much abuse by
the igDorant, - J the pn j i diced, and
.nnaens.ble, that I, au old man of
neirly 84 years of age, feel; it a duty
I owe to my poster it j and country to
? make him a truthful defence, aa
. best I can. I will not go into de
tails in general, .but lea veil thatC ,to
'the hiatoriah. He; restored confu-
"ti Jii-into law. and order in the t State
of Illinois. He knew what .to r'&6,
an'd, like Andrew' Jackson, , did fit.
X will not say .whether he4 was ' fcor
rect or not on the gold standardi' 'f or
I do not presume to know.'1 It
t seems to me that he has had no' par
allel since Jackson, who was at one
time one of the most unpopular
Presidents. . I-remember :hpw fhis
popularity returned., (He f Ipsf his
popularity by vetoing the .'old Na
tional Bank. Cleveland,' . like.
'JabksoD, lo3t bis by dding right:
His popularity, like Jackson's, will
return. I believe Groyer Cleveland
and n William E Gladstone to be ,two;
of rthe greatest statesmen in the
world. Cino'nhatus of Borne might
: oe their co equal.
:f. WELL ESOCGH SAID.
It must not be inferred that the
people of this State are opposed to
public schools because they voted
against the special tax, last Tuesday,
although the ballots' read "for
spools against schools " instead
o f -Mf or the sp ecial tax' "against the
special tax," as they should have
read jf "they had;beei truthfully and
honestly worded. The wording
adopted was a trick, to which', we
called attentioh seme time ago? to
influence voters who might not lke
j Ito bejput . in po3ition as opposed to
, i eohools. The trick didn't work.
.But there were good and sufficient
rtasona why the friends of the
schools should
i i
tar, for the taxes

serin gent times, aa thejclfilinqaent

pie t? iselj ideolined ta: tak& npon
themselves additional and unneces-
eary burdens." " That was one-reason
and another very pood one was that
the taxpayers of this State "are not
gatiefied with the administration of
our public affairs and had their
doubts as to the use that would be
made of this special tax, if voted.
And many were influenced by the
compulsory character of the law,
which seemed to be framed to worry
the people into voting for or against
it whether they wanted to or not
When the time comes, and the ques
tion is presented i a proper way,
the people of this State will very
oheerf uliy jvote -for additional school
tax if jt should be necessary,--Morn
