BUNN, of Nash. THE MONEY PLANK. The Republican's money plank is thus dealt with by the New York Evening Post : '"The Republican party is in favor of the use of both silver and gold as money, and condemns the policy of the Democratic Administration in its efforts to demonetize silver,' says the Chicago platform. This is about as unmeaning as anything in the literature of finance, but it conveys nevertheless, a compliment to Presi dent Cleveland's administration. The use of gold and silver as money is tolerably well established in this country, and nobody is now seeking to discontinue it. As silver has not been 'monetized' in this country and cannot be until free coinage of that metal is established by law, neither Wlr. Cleveland nor anybody is likely to demonetize it. "Rut Mr. Cleveland has shown sufficiently and repeatedly that he is opposed to free coinage, and also that he is opposed to the coinage of ,any more Bland dollars than there is a public demand for. It will be considered by all intelligent men of business in the .bast, and by scholars and financiers everywhere, a fine compliment to- Mr. Cleveland that the Chicago Convention has drawn attention to His position in this im portant matter, although the plat form does not state the position of the Republican party on the silver question, except by inference. So far as inference goes, the implication is that the Republican party differs from Mr. Cleveland as to silver coin age. "If any strong impression to this effect were made by the platform, it would add a great many votes to the Democratic ticket in New York and New England this year.. On the other hand, it is easy to' see that this plank is not the kind of deliver ance that the silver-producing States and Territories wanted." THE WAY IT LOOKS. Mayor Hewitt was invited to be present at the County Democracy's ratification in New. York, last Thurs day night. He couldn't go, but he sent some good, sound, solid, com mon sense logic to take his place, lie wrote a letter, and the following paragraph shows how it looks to May or Hewitt "Discarding all side issues, it seems to me that there is really only one question to be decided by the people in the coming election. Both platforms concede that the national revenues are largely in excess of the expen ditures required for the economical conduct of the government. The Democratic party renews its pledge to reduce the reve nues by reducing the taxes, but the .Republi can party, havirig resisted all efforts looking to this end, have been forced by the inex orable logic of the situation to declare in favor of reducing the revenue by increasing the taxes." ' After further explaining some of the intricacies of the Republican plan he says : , "The plain issue thus presented to the American people cannot be obscured bv anv sophistry, or by any pleas, for special inter ests or favored classes of the people. Does any sane man believe that a country can be enriched by raising the taxes; Is it not plain to the dullest understanding that if consumers pay more for their supplies they must be indemnined, if indemnified at all, by a higher price for their products " RATIFICATION. The County Democracy of New York had a big ratification meeting in the Academy of Music, New York City. The New York Herald thus opens a description of it: "A wonderful scene of enthusiasm was presented in the Academy; of Music last night, when the presiding officer of the most distinguished leg islative body on earth and the Gov ernor ot tne greatest fetate j in America stood in the presence of a vast multitude and crucified the foes of Democracy. j "All the false issues raised by des perate monopoly melted away and the real questions of the campaign stood out clear and simple in the glare of honest, intellectual lijjht that was turned upon them. "How the air throbbed and the great galleries palpitated as tremen dous waves of applause greeted each statesmanlike, manly utterance And how the audience billowed and saluted the great leaders of the coming battle Cleveland and Thur man !" " j OUR EXCHANGES. Roxboro Courier: The Methodist Sunday School Convention wil meet at Allensville, on Saturday be fore the third Sunday in July. The public are cordially invited to at tend. Wilmington Star: Capt. It. II. Pad uison, in a letter to a friend here writes, that the steamer Queen of St John's would leave Jacksonville, Fla.. Wednesday, the 27th, lor tins port Her departure may have been, de layed, however, on account of bac weather. News & Observer:, An Industria School for the girls of Raleigh wil be opened by the ladies of the city in the Centennial Graded Schoo Monday morning, July 2, at 9:30 o clock, lhe need ot such a schoo has been long felt and it is hoped that a large number of girls will be present at the opening. News & Observer: One of the mbs intelligent and observing gentlemen in the city is svery positive in the opinion that the man is not Partin He has talked with the prisoner and says that he knows his story is true He says that the very manner in which he tells his story carries con viction with it and that no man, un less he were inspired, could tell a lie with such a powerful coloring o truth. He believes that the man lis a native Irishman, and does not be lieve he could have acquired the Irish brogue to the degree of perfec tion he has. He thinks it plain to a good reader ot human nature tha the prisoner does not emolov the faculty -ot invention in telling his story. He speaks from memory The gentleman in question is a firm believer that if this man is executed for Scott Partin's crime a great wrong will be done. Another very shrewd gentleman who has talked with the prisoner and observed his manner, says there is a constant strain on his part to impress people that he is no Partin. He thinks there is an undue anxiety which betrays the real un easiness and lack of confidence in the prisoner's mind. As Shakespeare the greatest of all readers of human nature, expressed it : "So full of artless jealousy is guilt It spills itself in fearing to be spilt." Wilmington Star : A heavy and destructive storm of wind and rain struck the town of Laurinburg yes terday afternoon at fifteen minutes past three o'clock, coming from a southerly direction, and lasting abou thirty minutes. From a correspon dent of the Star at Laurinburg and from persons arriving on the Carolina Central train last evening, the follow ing particulars were gathered : The McCullum hotel, near the railroad depot, was 'badly damaged; one o the brick chimneys was blown down demolishing part of the roof and crushing through the building to the first floor. The furniture and car pets in the rooms of the building were considerably damaged ; but, for- unately no person was injured. Mr. barker's gin house, lying directly in he track of the storm, was entirely destroyed, and also two churches be- onging to colored people. Col. J. T. Roper's stables were blown down. and two mules in the building killed. The stores of Messrs. McCaskill and McLean, M. G. McKoy and R. A. Lee and the Merchant's hotel were unroofed, and also the residences of Mr. Barry BryanJ and Mr. J. T. r razier. , A number of out-houses were demolished, and trees and ences were blown down in. all di rections. At Mr. W. A. McLaunn s residence two of the windows, with he blinds,, were torn from their fas enings and blown into the house. The track of the storm was fortu nately narrow. It extended beyond the town of Laurinburg in a north erly direction about half a mile, levelling everything in its path. So far as known no loss ot lite occurred either in the town or country.

We again congratulate the people 6f North Carolina on the continued enjoyment of peace, good government apd general prosperity under dem ocratic administration of the ailairs qf the State which has now been un broken for so many years ; upon the lust and impartial enlorcement ot the law ; upon the increasing eln clency of our common school system, and the progress made in popular education; up.on the improvement and enterprise manifested in all parts of the State. We again chal lenge a comparison between this state of things and the outrages, crimes and scapdals which attended IJepublican ascendancy in our bor ders. We pledge ourselves to exert in the future, as" in the past, our best efforts to proniote the best interests of the peoplelof all sections of the State:,. Affirming our adherence to Democratic principles as heretofore enunciated in the platforms of the party, it is hereby ' Resolved, Th'pt np government has the right to bardeji its people with taxes beyond the amount required to pay its necessary expenses and gradually extinguish its public debt; and that whenever the revenues, however derivejJ, exceed this amount, they should be reduced, so as to avoid a surplus in the treasury. That any system of taxation' which necessitates the payment of a pre mium of S-70 by the government on each 81,000 ofj its bonds, taken- up with the millions that would other wise lie idle iii its vaults, and paid to bondholder who purchased in many instances, at less than par, is undemocratic, 1 oppressive and in iquitous and should be refunded. The course of bur Democratic Rep resentatives iii Congress, in their efforts to give relief to the people ne internal revenue from burdenso and tariff taxation, meets with the approval of the Democratic . party of this State and iwe respectfully rec ommend that ijf they find it impos sible to give t6 our people all the relief demanded, they support any just and practical measure presen ted in Congresjs that will all'ord a practical relief from such existing burden. Resolved, That while the details of the methods by which the constitu tional revenue tariff shall be grad ually reached ate subjects which the representatives of our people at the national capital must be trusted to adjust, we thinli the customs duties should be levieel . for the production of public revenue, and the discrimi nations in theirl adjustment should bp such as.wilj place the highest rtes on luxuries and the lowest on the necessaries bf. life, distribute as equally as possible the unavoidable burdens of taxation, and confer the greatest good oji the greatest num ber. : Resolved, That we, as heretofore, favor, and will j never cease to de rrand, the unconditional abolition of the whole internal' revenue system, ak a war tax, not be be justified in times of peace ; as a grievous burden to our people and a source of annoy ance in its practical operations. We call the attention of the people of the State to the hypocritical pretensions of the Republican party in their plat forms that they are in favor of the repeal of this onerous system of taxa tion, enacted byjf their party, while the Republicans in Congress are tax ing their energies to obstruct all leg islation inaugurated by the repre sentatives of the Democratic party to relieve the people of all or a part of this odious syfetem. Resolved, That the course of the Democratic party in furtherance of pupuiur euueuqon, is a SUIlicient guarantee that wje favor the educa tion of the people, and we will pro mote and improve the present edu- e-iiuomu au vantages so iar as it can be done without burdening the peo taxation. pie by excessive Resolved, Thatjto meet an existing evil, we will accept, for educational purposes, from tjhe Federal (Jovern njent our;roraa shareofthe surplus ill its treasury ; provided, that it be disbursed through State agents and the bill for the distribution be free from objectionab e features. Jlewjlced, That the United States being one government and purs a na tional party, we denounce the ef forts of the Republicans to force sec tional issues in !Congress and else where, and to Promote dissension arid ill-will between the people of th.e different sect ons of our common country. jiesolved, That it is due to the pdople of our eastern counties, who have so cheerfully . borne their share ot our common present or some burdens, that the equally effective government shall system of county De maintained. Resolved, That the Democratic party is opposed! to anv further ex tension of the "o-fence" law, unless such extension shall have first been authorized by a rjiajority of Unqual ified voters within the territory to be afjected thereby. Resolved, Thai the Democratic party has ever been the party of the workingman, and has never fostered monopolies, nor have "trusts" or "combinations" lor "pools" ever grown up under laws enacted by it The contest in this country being be- tween aggregated capital, seeking to crush out all competition, and the individual laborer, the Democratic party is. as it has ever been, against the .-monopolist and in favor of a just 'distribution of capital, and de mands the enactment of laws that will bear equally upon all ,Wm, That as all taxation bears most heavily upon the laborer, it is the dutv of the legislator, as a direct benefit to the workingman, to keep e ! 1.1 : aTa.. the expenses oi our puouc institu tions at .the lowest limit consistent with wise and efficient management The Democratic party 'opposes any competition between free and convict labor, but it insists that convict shall not remain idle at the expense, of honest labor;. .Vsoiw, That ours being an agri cultural Suite, it is our duty as well as our pleasure to proniote any and all legislation that is best calculated to advance the interests of agricul ture ; and that in so doing we will most effectually advance the inter ests of mechanics, nianufacturersand laborers. - - Wr ', That the Democracy of North Carolina jconlially approve the administration ol Hon.
