GLEVELAND AND VICTORY.
The Tenominatidn of Mr. Cleveland
'occasions no surprise. It was gene
'rally admitted that he would le re
'homihated moire than a year ago. In
'deed, at no time since he became Pre-
"sident lias there been any other presi
'dential candidate who had the least
'chance of getting the nomination. At
onetime Gov. Hill of New York was
mentioned in connection with it, be
cause it was believed that he could car
ry New York, but at no time was there
a movement in his favor that attracted
serious attention.
It is not difficult to account for Mr.
Cleveland's remarkable popularity and
his extraordinary hold upon his party.
He has kept his pledges, and has given
the country a safe, conservative and
wise administration. He hasnothesi-
t ited to oppose the politicians, and to
assume every responsibility connected
with or growing out of his position.
The people like an honest and cour
ageous man, and Mr. Cleveland has
proved himself to be both. lie said,
when he was nominated four years ago
that if he were elected he would, to
the best of his ability, enforce all the
laws, including those relating to the
civil service. The people had confi
dence in this promise, because he had
kept his promises as governor of New
York. His record had more weight
with them than the assertions of the
republican press that a change in the
political complexion of the government
would be followed by business disas'
ters, and that it was better from every
point of view for the offices to remain
in possession of those who occupied
them than to turn them over to a lot
of hungry democrats. There was not
a republican newspaper which did not
treat with contempt his assertion that
lie would enforce the civil service laws,
and make appointments with the sole
view of promoting the best interests of
the public.
That Mr. Cleveland has kept faith
with the people is shown by the unani
mity with whi h he has been renomi
nated. If he had listened to the poli
ticians, he would have broken his
promises. The pressure they brought
to bear upon him in favor of making
a clean sweep of the Republican office
holders was enormous. Indt.ed, their
dissatisfaction with his civil service
policy was at one time so great" that it
was thought that there would be a
serious break between him aud some
of the party leaders. He perserved in
his course, however, and the politicians
were forced to come to his support
because the people insisted they should
Mr. Cleveland's enemies have pre
tended that he has not been true to
his pledges with regard to civil service
reform, but they know better. He
has not done all that the most radical
civil service reformers have desired,
and it is doubtful if he would have
acted wisely if he had. Great refor
mers cannot be affected at once. They
are matters of growth, and before they
can be established the people must be
educated to appreciate and approve
them. Mr. Cleveland has complied
strictly with the civil service laws, and
has gradually widened their jurisdic
tion. He has shown their benefits,
and they are now so strongly support
ed by public sentiment 4hat no future
administration, whatever its political
character may be, will dare to disre-
gara mem. u Dir. cieveiaua is re
elected, he will extend their applica
tion until all but the most important
offices are included within their scope.
His renomiuation means another great
victory for the democratic party.
FREMONT INSTITUTE.
An Institution or Which Fkemont
May Well be ritorn The
Closing Exercises Admir
able ADDRESSES BY PKOF.
Alderman And Mk.
j. y. j oynek.
The closing exercises of Fremont
Institute commenced on Monday even
ing, June 4th and ended the following
evening. Knowiug the qualifications
of Prof. W. . II. . Hand, its Principal,
and the capability of his students, we
had looked forward with bl ight antici
pations to the treat that was in store
for all who should be present on the
interesting occasion, and the sequel
proved that we had not expected too
much.
We arrived at Fremont at J 2:30
p. m., on Tuesday, aud were received
by Messrs. J. B. Hooks, and J. M.
Stone, marshalls, who escorted us to
the residence of C apt. Hand. As if
fates were determined to make all
things bright and cheery on this occa
sion, the sun shone in all its splendor.
Dinner was next in order. To attempt
to describe it would require the know
ledge of a Delmonico, tor certainly in
variety, quality and quantity, it far ex
cells anything we have ever witnessed.
All seemed anxious to begin the battle,
and if ever soldiers fought hall as hard
for victory as we did to diminish the
heaps of dainties, tubstantials, etc.,
victory would have been sure to perch
upon their banner. But not so with us.
it was useless, for as fast as we would
eat so fast would plates be replenished,
aud we were forced at last to retire,
regretting exceedingly to leave so
much that was good behind. After
dinner we proceeded to the "Institute,"
where we found more present than we
expected, considering the busy season
for farmers. Prof. E. A. Alderman
was there, and the people from far and
near came to hear him. They were
grouped about the rallant orator, who
was , introduced in a graceful way by
our townsman w . s. uis. Jiouinson ;
Esq. Mr. Alderman, at this point,!
stepped forward, and began his subject
on the "Manners and Customs in North
Carolina one hundred years ago." It
was certainly a very fine effort. It
was very interesting to hear him pict
ure out the baronical life of the early
settlers of the old North State, the
difficulties that they met and surmount
ed In gaining a foothold : touched upon
the cosmopolitan character of the colo
nial pioneers, their diverse habits and
customs, all finally blending into a rude
but proud autocracy, which gave its
self up to horse racing and the dance,
and did its visiting on horseback or in
springless wagons over bad raods or
through bridle paths. The whole ad
dress was full of sound, practical sense
and elicited much enthusiasm and ap
plause. Mr. Alderman was congratu
lated on all sides, aud predictions of
an eloquent and successful career were
made by those many hundreds, who
have had the good fortune to be pre
sent. At the conclusion of this ad
mirable address, Prof. J. H. Moore,
Principal of Nahunta Academy step
ped forward and presented a beai tiful
inkstand and paper weight to Miss
Sarah Copeland the prize for greatest
improvement in penmanship. Mr.
Moore made the presentment in a neat
and appropriate little address which
marked him as a most beautiful and
felicitious speaker.
At 8 p. m., the hall was filled to its
utmost capacity to hear the oration of
our eloquent young townsman, Mr. J.
Y. Joyner, and to witness the concert.
This gallant speaker was introduced by
Chas. 1$. Aycock Esq., in a very happy
manner and came forward amid ap
plause. He began his address by ex
pressing his thanks for the very fine
auchance which had filled the house,
and a reference to the magnitude and
importance of his theme. He spoke
with gratification of the increased in
terest in education to b j observed on
every side in the State, and the great
work the various schools and colleges
of the State are doing. Mr. Joj-ner's
manner was impassioned and impress
ive, and at times he rose to the height
of true eloquence, if not the sublime
in oratory. His plea for sustaining
the Fremont Institute was a very fine
one indeed and will live doubtless as
it should in the minds of those who
heard him long after the exercises
shall have been forgotten. It was the
production . of an observer, of a stu
dent, of a thinker, of a man of varied
reading and gifts. On the conclusion
of Mr. Joyner's address the concert
began. The programme opened with
a Colloqivy, 'Investigating Commit
tee," a committee composed of youth
and loveliness. That dialogue, "Curi
osity," as presented by Messrs. W. W.
Davis, II. W. Pate, and Frank Watson,
was indeed very "electrifying." Mr.
W. G. Woodard, o Beulah, was an
ideal "Lord Dundreary, you know,"
while Messrs. J. M. Stone, j. B. Hooks,
and A. S. Person help d to capture
the audience with their "Studio.
Miss Aggie Gurley was charming in
everything and especially in the recita
tion of "John Mavnard." That quar
rel among "T h e Smiths and the
Browns," was a sure 'nouch quarrel
among the Misses Alice Dickinson and
Molhe Aycock, Messrs. W. W. Davis,
Hamilton Johnson, Brodie Scott, and
Albert Yelverton. The instrumental
duetts under the manaegment of Miss
Addie D. Barnes, the music teacher,
were complete and highly satisfactory
to all concerned, reflecting much credit
upon both pupils and teacher, and the
various "tableaux" were good, and
each performer would receive a sepa
rate mention if the crowded space
would not prevent it. Sorry we were
unvtble to witness the programme, on
Monday night and Tuesday morning,
which are highly spoken of.
Altogether the commencement ex
ercises of Fremont Institute were such
as to reflect the highest credit on that
institution, and its citizens have cause
to feel proud that they have such a
s:hool in their midst, one that is des
tined to do so much good for the com
munity and those who obtain instruc
tion there. Perhaps since the con
cert Tuesday evening this has impress
ed upon us with greater-force than
ever before. Such an institution pour
ing its blessings upon the community
is worth more than any calculation of
mere dollars and cents can arrive at
and should have the hearty and liberal
support of all our people.
Prof. W. H. Hand has labored earn
estly for the upbuilding of this school,
and it is very gratifying to know that
his efforts are being crowned with such
flattering success as the session just
closed has witnessed. But we have
not said one word about our Goldsboro
Band, which filled the town and in
stitution at intervals during the day
with music of the most artistic charac
ter. The sweet strains it evoked were
the most charming accompaniment of
all the day's exercises. They were
delightful and were thoroughly enjoy
ed, particularly by those who know
what really good music is. In the
gorgeous uniforms, they presented a
striking appearance, and their gentle
manly behavior was highly compli
mented by everybody. We spent the
night in the palatial residence of Mr.
Ben. Aycock, aud after partaking of
a substantial repast the next morning,
we boarded the cars once more, and
under the guidance of that courteous
conductor, Mr. Bob. Southerland, we
landed in Goldsboro after 15 minutes
ride, much pleased with Fremont and
the most pleasant memories of its
hospitable citizens. The next session
of this popular institution will bigin
on the 0th day of August.
