j 'There nas an auc'ioD at otto of the
' down town auction houses recently. A
1 palu sad-faced wmuan, in a plain calico
gi.wu, stoi din the sroad The loud
voiced auctioneer at last came to a lot
of plain atnl Soiucwliat shabby old fur
niture. It bad belonged to a pale wo.
man, and was being sold lo satisfy the
mortgage on it. Onn by one the arti
cles were suM, the di bureau to ouc,
the rocker to another, and tho bed
stead to a third. Finally the auction,
eer hauled out a child 'a high ckatr. It
was jl i sad rickety, aud as tlia auction
eer held it up tvirybody laughed—esery
body I'Soept the pale lao«d woman, and
a tear trickled down her cneek.
The auctioneer saw it. and aou>«how
a lump see i cd to coinc up in his throat.
And his gruff voice grew to!>. lie re
membered a little high chair at home,
aud how it had once filled his life with
sunshine.
It was empty now The baby laugh,
tho two little hinds that were otic* held ,
out to greot papa from that hi-b chair, ,
were goue foi ever, lie saw tho pile
faced won.sn's piteous looks, and knew
that iu her eye the little high chair was
iu)re precious than if it had been made
of gold and studded with diamonds. i
lu imagination he couid see tho little ,
dimpled cherub which it oucc held.
:ould see the little chubby fist grasping
tho tin rattle box uud pounding the chair 1
full ol tucks, could see the little feet
which rubbed the paint off the legs:
he could hear :lie crowing und laughing
in glee, and now— the ,'ittle high chair j
was euipty. lie kuew there was an
aching void in the pale-i'aocd woman's
heart, as there was iu his own.
"Don't laugh!'' said the auctioneer'
soitly, as somebody facetiously offered
ter. cents " lanyof you have little
eu;pty high chairs at houie, which men.
ey wonld uot tempi you to part with."
1 hea he handed the clerk a bill out of !
his own pooket, aud remarked, "sold to !
the lady over there," aud thu pale faced
woman walkod out, with the little high j
chair claspeu in her aruis, and tears '
streamed Hown ht r oliccks. The crowd i
stood baok respectfully, aud there was a ■

PI ATFORM OF PARTV ADOPTED IN
STATE COS VKMTION AT HAI."
E'.illt, MAV, IXHH.
We again coudgrutulatc the people of
North Caiolina on the continued enjoy
ment of peace, good govcrnnieni ami
' general prosponty under Douiocrati •
, administration of the State which ha.
j uow be*-u unbroken for so many yenr
, upon the just ar.d impartial enforcemiut
' of the law, upon the increasing eflievu
-loy of our common school sytem, aud
the Dri.__-ress made la popular educfftioti:
upon the improvement and enter; rise
I manilested tn all parts of the State. We
again challenge a comparison between
the state of tlunjs and the outrages,
| crimes and scandals which attooiied T'c
i pubhenn ascendancy in out borders. We
i pledge aurselves to exert in the future
|as iu the past our best efforts to pto-
I the best interests of the people of
j all sections of the State. Affirming our
! adhcrenoe to Democratic priucq les as
1 hertofore enunciated in the platforms of
{ the party, it is hereby
Resolved, That no government has
, the right to burden its people with tuxes
i bevond the amount required to pay its
necessary expenses and gradually extin
guish its public debt- and that when
over the revenues, however derived, ex
ceed this amount, they should be reduc*
, ed, so as to avoid a surplus iu the trcas
i ury. That any system of taxation which
I necessitates the payment of a premium

vaults, and paid to boudhohii rs who
I purchased iu many instances, at less
than par, is undemocratic, oppre--ivc
ami iuiquitoos atid should be refunded,
j The course of our Democratic Represen
tatives in Congress, iu their efforts to
Ctve relief to the pecj le frojj huiden
same internal revenue and tariff taxa
t tion, meets with the approval of the
j Democratic party of this State ait.l we
| rcsjioctfully recomtmud that is they ftud
I it impossible logivo to the people all the
I relief they demanded, they supnort any
f just and practical men-uri; presented ill
I Congress that will aftord a practical re
! lief from such existing burden,
| Resolved, That while tha details ot
the methods by which the constitutional
revenue tariff shall be gradual'y readied
aie subjects which tho representatives of
our our people at the national capital
i must bo trusted lo adjust, we think the
{ custom duties should be levied for the
production of public revenue, and the
discriminations in their adjustment
should be such as will place the highest
rates on luxuries and the lowest on the
necessaries of life, distribute as equally
as possible the unavoidable burdens of
location, and cooler the greatest goad
on the greatest number.
ResoTved ) Tlut we, as heretofore, fa
vor, and will never cease lo demand, the
unconditional abolition of the whole in
ternal revenue system, as a war tax, uot
lo be justified in times of peace: as a
grievous burden to oir | eople and a (
source of annoyance in its practical op- |
orations. We call the atteutiuli of the
people of the State lo the hypocritical
pretensius of the ltcpublican paity in
their platforms that they arc iu favor of
the acpeui ot thu onerous system tuxa-I
lion, enacted by their party, while lio. !
Repibliculis in C i.gressare luxil g their
energies to obstruct all legislation iu- j
augurated be the representatives of the ,
Democratic party to lelicvc the people
of all or a part of this odious system.
Resolved, That the course of the j
Democratic party, iu furtheMuec ol'pop- I
ular cduoation, is a sufficient guarautoe
that we favor the education of the poo- |
pie, sud wo will promote aud improve
the present educational advantages so far .
ssit can be dono without burdening tin
people by excessive luxation.
Resolved, That to meet au existing
ovil, we will accept, fur educational pur
poses, from :h« Federal Government or
pro rata share of the surplus in its trea
sury. Provided, that it be disbursed
through Slate agents and the bill for
the distribution lie free from objection
able features.
Resolved, That the United Slates be
lug one government and ours a national
party, wo denounce the efforts of the
Republicans lo force sectional issues in
Cougroas and elsewhere, and to promote
disscntion and ill will between the pso
ple of the different sectious of our com
mon country.
Rcsolv.d, That it is due te the peo
ple of our eastern courtics, who have so
cheerfully borne their tharcof our com
mon burdens, that the present or some
cquully effective system of county j;ov
eruiucnt shall he maintained.
Resolved, That the Democratic party
is opposed to any further extension of
the "No-fonce"' law, unless such rxten
sion shall have first been uuthorizrd by
majority or the qualified voters withic
the territory to bo affected thereby.
Keaolv«l, That tho Democratic party
