New York, June 24: The follow ing is the leading editorial in the Sun to-day : " There is one question depending on the election of the next President which, in its momentous importance and vital imperativeness, must seem lo every philanthropic observer to exceed every other political ques tion that the people are now called upon to determine. All differences of opinion respecting administrative reform or silver coinage or free trade or protection or personal qualities or antecedents of candidates, in short, the whole ordinary array of electoral controversies are, in comparison, of inferior, indeed, of almost trivial moment. We mean the question whether those Southern States which have inherited a negro population sur passing the number of the white citi zens, shall by Federal military force be subjected to political legislatures, negro governors and negroe judge in their courts, or whether they shall con tinue to be governed oy white men as now. Now it makes no difference who may be the President whom the Re publican party elects, since Mr. Blaine is now permanently out of the line of promotion, that party is by its nature and traditions under the necessity of enacting and executing an election law whose purpose and effect will be to put negroes in control of several of the Southern States. There will be some unwillingness on the part of a patriotic minority among the Republicans, who will re volt at the consequences of such a measure, but their opposition cannot avail. The necessity of the situation vill suppress all such resistance. A orce bill is the first and inevitable result of a sweeping Republican vitory in November. On the other hand and by nature and necessity of ideas involved, the success of Democracy is death to a Fore bill project. Killed in this election, it can never be re vived. In this view of the contest what conscientious Democrat can hesitate r bout his duty? Better vote for liberty I and white government of the Southern States, even if the candidate were the t evil himself rather than consent the election of respectable Benjamin Harrison, with the Force bill in his pocket. MR. DUKE'S CARD. Franklinton, N. C, June 28. I attended the Third party covention Veld in our county at Louisburg a few weeks ago and was there elected a delegate to the Third party con vention which met m Kaleigh June 1 6th. I attended this convention as a delegate, thinking it was gotten up ty the Farmers' Alliance, solely for the advancement of reform, and to further the interest of the depressed agriculturists. But after further investi gation I see it is nothing but a Re publican dodge to try to capture the white Democrats of North Carolina, and in this way put us back in the dark days of 1868-9. I am a Democrat in the fullest sense of the word and especially so since our party has adopted such a platform as it did at Chicago last week. This platform will satisfy every true Demo crat. If we ever get reform, I can't see where it will come from unless it through the Democratic party. There are lots of true men who saw things as I did thought they were being led by the Alliance and find to their disgust that it is nothing more nor less than a fraud. No sir! none ot the so called "third party tor me. My only regret is that I went as far as I did before I saw the .volf in sheep's clothing." Now I see it, and repudiate the whole thing from beginning to end. All I have to r 11 say to you my leiiow iarmers ana Alliance men, is come out of all such, for there is nothing in it productive of good tor us or our order. S. L. Duki. The knowledge that Adlai Stevenson removed nearly fifty thousand Kepub lican postmasters while he held the office of First Assistant Postmaster General, is what makes every good Democrat feel like taking off his coat and helDhie to elect him Vice Presi- dent.

Platform on Which it will Achieve a Victory in November Next Adopt ed at the Chicago Convention. Section 1. The representatives of the Democratic party of the United States, in national convention assem bled, do re-affirm their allegiance to the principles of the party as formu lated by Jefferson and exemplified by the long and illustrious line ot his successors in Democratic leadership from Madison to Cleveland. We be lieve the public welfare demands that these principles be applied to the con duct of the Federal government through the accession to power of the party that advocates them, and we solemnly declare that the need of a return to these fundamental principles of a free popular government, based on home rule and individual liberty, was never more argent than now, when the tendency to centralize all power at the Federal capital has be come a menace to the reversed rights of the States that strikes at the very roots of our government under tho constitution as framed by the fathers of the republic. FORCE BILL. Section 2. We warn the people of our common country, jealous for the preservation of their free institu tions, that the policy of Federal con trol of elections to which the Repub lican party has committed itself is fraught with the gravest danger, scarcely less momentous than would result from a revolution practically establishing monarchy on the ruins of a republic. It strikes at the North as well as the South, and injures the colored citizens even more than the white : it means a horde ofdeDutv mar- I -1 11: 1 -J n; i, o a.Al snais at. every polling piace anncu i with Feberal power, returning boards appointed and controlled by Federal authority, the outrage of the electoral rights of the people in the several States, the subjugation of the colored people to the control of the party in power and the reviving of race an tagonism now happily abated, of the utmost peril to the safety and the happiness of all, a measure deliberately and justly described by a leading Re publican Senator as " the most infa mous bill that ever crossed the thresh old of the Senate." Such a policy, if sanctioned by law, would mean the dominance of a self-perpetuating oli garchy of officeholders, and the party first entrusted with its machinery could be dislodged from power only by an appeal to the reversed right of the people to resist oppression, which is inherent in all self-governing commu nities, lwo years ago this revolution ary policy was emphatically con demned by the people at tne polls, but in contempt of that verdict tne Republican party has definatly declared in its latest authorative utterance that its success in the coming elections will mean the enactment of the force bill, and the usurpation of despotic con trol over elections in all the States. Believing that the preservation of Republican government in the United States is dependent upon the defeat of this policy of legalized force and fraud, we invite the support of all citizens who desire to see the consti tution maintained in its integrity, with the laws pursuant thereto, Which have given our country a hundred years of unexampled prosperity, and we pledge the Democratic party, if it be entrusted with power, not only with the defeat of the force bill, but also to relentless opposition lo the Republican policy of profligate expen diture, which, in the short space of two years, has squandered an enormous surplus, emptied an overflowing treas ury, after piling new burdens of taxa tion upon the already overtaxed labor of the country. TARIFF REFORM. Section 3. We denounce the Re publican protection as a fraud. The labor of the great majority of the American people is for the benefit of the few. We declare it to be a fund amental principle of the Democratic party that the Federal government has no constitutional power to impose and collect tariff duties except for the pur pose of revenue only, and we demand the collection of such taxes shall be limited to the necessities of the govern ment when honestly and economically administered. THE MCKINLEY BILL. We denounce the McKinley tariff law enacted by the Fifty-first Congress as the -culminating atrocity ot class legislation ; we indorse the efforts made by the Democrats of the present Congress to modify its most oppres sive features in the direction of free raw materials and cheaper manufac tured goods that enter into general: consumption, and we promise its re peal as one of the beneficent results that will follow the action of the peo ple in entrusting power to the Demo cratic party. Since the McKinley tariff went into , operation there have been ten reductions of the wages ot laboring men to one increase. We deny that there has been any increase of prosperity to the country since that tariff went into operation, and we point to the dullness and distress, the waee reductions and strikes in the iron trade as the best possible evidence HENDERSON, N. C, THURSDAY, JULY 7, that no such prosperity has resulted from the McKinley act. We call the attention thoughtful Americans to the fact that after thirty years of restrictive taxes against the imDurtation of foreign wealth, in ex change for agricultural surplus, the homes and farms of the country have I become burdened with a real estate I mortgage debt of over two thousand j flm hnnard mlllirm dollars, exclusive i of all other forms of indebtedness; that in one of the chief agricultural States of the West there appears a real estate mortgage debt averaging $165 per capita of the total population, and that similar conditions and tendencies are shown to exist in the other agricul tural exporting States. We denounce a policy which fosters no industry so much as it does ot the sheriff. RECIPROCITY. Section 4. Trade interchange on the basis of reciprocal advantages to the countries participating is a time honored doctrine of the Democratic faith, but we denounce the sham re ciprocity which juggles with the peo ple's desire for enlarged foreign mar kets and freer exchanges by pretend ing to establish closer trade relations for a country whose articles of export are almost exclusively agricultural products with other countries that are also agricultural, while erecting a custom house barrier of prohibitive tariff taxes against the rich and the countries ot the world that stand ready to take our entire surplus of products and to exchange therefor commodities which are necessaries and comforts of life among our own people. TRUSTS. Section 5. We recognize in the trusts and combinations which are designed to enable capital to secure more than its just share of the joint product of capital and labor a natural I - r . i 1 1 -. : a 4i-c o. u.c prumuiuvc uu, which prevent the free competition Wllll.il UICVC11L , , ; which is the lite of honest trade; but we Deiieve their worst evils can De abated by law. and we demand the rigid enforcement of the laws made to prevent and control them, together with such further legislation in re straint of their abuses as experience may show to be necessary. PUBLIC LANDS. Section 6. The Republican party, while professing a poloicy of reserving the public land for small holdings by actual settlers, has given away the people's heritage till now a few rail roads and non resident aliens, indi vidual and corperate, possess a larger area than that of all our farms between the two seas. The last Democratic administration reversed the improvi dent and unwise policy of the Repub- lcan party touching the public domain, and reclaimed from corporations and syndicates, alien and domestic, and restored to the people nearly one hun dred million acres of valuable land to be sacredly held as homesteads for our citizens, and we pledge ourselves to continue this policy until every acre of land so unlawfully held shall be reclaimed and restored to the people. SILVER AND GOLD. Section 7. We denounce the Republi can legislation known as the Sherman act of 1890 as a cowardly make-shift fraught with possibilities of danger in the future, which should make all of its supporters as well as its author, anx ious for its speedy repeal. We hold to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country and to the coinage of both gold and silver without discriminating against either metal or charge for mintage; but the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic and ex changeable value or be adjusted through international agreement or by such safeguards or legislation as shall insure the maintenance of the parity of the two metab. arid the qual power of every dollar at all times in the pay ment of debts, and we demand that all paper currency shall be kept at par with and redeemable m such com. we insist upon this policy as especially - . . . - . necessary tor tne protection 01 tne farmers atrd laboring classes, the first and most defenseless victims of un stable money aud fluctuating currency. STATE BANK TAX. Section 8. We recommend that the prohibitory ten per cent, tax on State bank issues be repealed. CIVIL SERVICE. Section 9. Public office is a public trust. We reaffirm the declaration of the Democr?Mc national convention of 1876 for uie reform of the civil service, and we call for the honest enforcement ot all laws regulating the same. The nomination of President, as in the recent Republican conven tion by delegations composed largely of his appointees, holding office at his pleasure, is a scandalous satire upon free popular institutions and the startling illustration of the methods by which a President may gratify his ambition. We denounce a policy under which Federal officeholders usurp control in the States, and we pledge the Democratic party to the reform of these and all other abuses which theaten individual liberty and local self-government. FOREIGN woLier. Section 10. The Democratic party is the only party that has ever given the country a foreign policy consist- ;ent and vigorous, compelling respect abroad and insDirine confidence at home. While avoiding entangling alliance it has aimed to cultivate friendly relations with other nations, and especially with our neighbors on the American continent whose desti- ny is closely linked with our own, and we view with alarm the tendency to a policy of irritation and bluster which is liable at any time to confront us with the alternative of humiliation or war. We favor the mamteanance 01 a navy strong enough for all purposes of national defence and to properly maintatn the honor and dignity of the country abroad. IMMIGRATION. Section 11. This country has al ways been the refuge of the opprersed from every land exiles for conscmce sake and in the spirit of the foun ders of our government we condemn the oppression practiced by the Rus sian government upon its Lutheran and Jewish subjects, and we call upon our national government in the inter est of justice and humanity, by all just and proper means, to use its prompt and best efforts to bring about a cessation of the cruel persecutions in the dominion of the Czar, and to secure to the oppressed equal rights. We tender our profound sympathy to those lovers of freedom who are struggling for home rule and the great cause of local self-government in Ireland. Section 12. We heartily approve all legitimate efforts to prevent the United States from being used as the dumpirjg ground for the known crim inals and professional paupers of En rope, and we demand the rigid en forcement of the laws against Chinese immigration or the importation ot foreign workmen under contract to degrade American labor and to lessen its wages; but we condemn and de nounce any and all attempts to restrict the immigration of the industrious and worthy of foreign lands. PENSIONS. Section 13. This section hereby renews the expression of appreciation of the patriotism of the soldiers and sailors of the Union in the war for its preservation, and we favor just and liberal pensions for all disabled Union soldiers, their widows and dependents, but we demand that the work of the Pension Office shall be done industri ously, impartially and honestly. We denounce the present administration of that office as incompetent, corrupt, disgraceful and dishonest. INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. Section 14. The Federal govern ment should care for and improve the Mississippi river and other great water ways of the republic, so as to secure for the inland States easy and cheap transportion to the tidewater. When any wateryway of the repub lic is of sufficient importance to de mand the aid of the government that such aid should be extended on a definite plan of continuous work until permanent improvement is se cured. NICARAGUA CANAL. Section 15. For purposes of na tional defence and the promotion of commerce between the States, we re cognize the early construction of the Nicaragua canal and its protection aorainst foreign control ot great 1m- O o w portance to the United States. world's FAIR. Section 16. Recognizing the World's Columbian Exposition as a national undertaking of vast importance, in which the general government has invited the co-operation of all the powers of the world, and appreciating the acceptance by many such powers of the invitation extended and the broadest liberal efforts being make by them to contribute to the grandeur of the undertaking, we are of the opinion that Congress should make such requisite financial provison as shall be necessary to the maintenance of the national public faith. education . Section 17. Popular education be ing the only safe basis of popular suffrage, we recommend to the severa States most liberal appropriations for the pulic schools. Free common schools are the nursery of good govern ment, and they have always received the fostering care of the Democratic party , which favors every means of increasing intelligence. Freedom of education being an essential of civil and religious liberty, as well as a necessity for the development of intelligence, must not be interfered with under any pretext whatever . We are opposed to State interference with parental rights of conscience in the education of children , as an infringe ment of the fundamental Democratic doctrine that the largest individual liberty consistent with the rights ot others insures the highest type of American citizenship and the best government . ADMISSION OF TERRITORIES. Section 18. We approve the action of the present House of Representa tives in passing bills for the admission into the Union as States ot the Terri tories of New Mexico and Arizona, and we favor the early admission of all the Territories having the necessary population to admit them to State hood, and while they remain Terri tories we hold that the officials ap pointed to administer the gevernment of any Territory, together with the District of Columbia and Alaska, Attend Her." 1892. should be bona fide residents of the Territory or district in which their duties are performed. The Demo cratic party believes in home rule and the control of their own affairs by the people of the vicinage. INDUSTRIAL MEASURES. Section 19. We favor legislation by Congress and State Legislatures lo protect the lives and limbs of railway employes and those of other hazard our transportation campanies, and denounce the inactivity of the Repub lican party and particularly the Re. publican Senate for causing the defeat of measures beneficial and protective to this class o( wage-workers. Section 26. We are in favor of the enactment by the States of laws for abolishing the notorious sweating system, for abolishing con tract convict labor, and for prohibit ing the employment in factories of children under 15 years of age. SUMPTUARY LAWS. Section 21. We are opposed to all sumptuary laws as an interference with the individual rights of the citizen. Section 22. Upon this statement af principles and policies the Demo cratic party asks the intelligent judg men of the American people. It asks a change of administration and a change of party in order that there may be a change of system and a change of methods, thus assuring the maintenance unimpaired of institu tions under which the republic has grown great and powerful. WHY THE VOTE WAS CAST AS IT WAS. Teere is an anxious but patient public of Democrats waiting to hear from J. P. Caldwell, or some other man who did not lose his head at Chicago, as to why, O why, the North Carolina delegation did not vote for some one who was in the race for the presidency instead of throwing away its vote for a mighty good man who did not aspire to the first place. Asheville citizen. Our contemporary asks for infor mation to which the Democracy ot North Carolina is entitled. The del egation from this btate was compos ed of gentlemen of all shades ot opin ion who went to Chicago without instructions of any kind. Perhaps half of them were Cleveland men and the other half anti-Cleveland or un prejudiced. They listened with pa tience and an intense desire to learn the truth, to everything that was urged in behalf of and against every candidate, and the majority arrived at the conclusion that another man than Cleveland ;or Hill would make a stronger candidate in New York. There was really no other candidate before the convention, excepting Gov. Boeis, to whom there were grave ob jections, and the majority of the dele gation, under these circumstances, so far from "thr owing away their votes, bestowed them upon a most worthy gentleman and Democrat with a view of attracting attention to him and starting him in the race for the second place on the ticket. Up to that time Mr. Stevenson s name had not been heard of in connection with the vice presidency. The North Carolina vote had exactly the effect intended and Mr. Stevenson was an -easy winner of second nomination. That a large measure of the credit for this was due to North Carolina was generally con ceded, and Mr. Stevenson said after wards to the chairman and to others .of the delegation that he owed his nomination directly to North Caroli na. The wisdom of the nomination is demonstrated by the enthusiasm with which the whole country has received it. It strengthens the ticket where it is weakest. The principal objection urged against Mr. Cleveland is that he is a civil service reformer and that during his former incumbency of the presidency he kept too many Repub licans in office. Mr. Steveson is dis tinctly a spoilsman, and his idea that no Republican should hold an office under a Democratic administration if any Democrat can be found who is canahle of fiUinn it. delights the hearts of partisan Democrats. They love him for the heads he has cut off. North Carolina might have tied on to the tail of the Cleveland procession, but it was evident that, with or with out its vote, his nomination was assured, and the maiority put their strength where they thought it would do the most good, and they believe that a just and intelligent public will, with the facts before it, give the dele gation credit not only tor correct motives, hut for having played in the matter a very good game of politics. Chartotte Observer Bill Arp in one of his letters to Atlanta Constitution says : the Mr. Cleveland's admsnistration left $130,000,000 in the treasury, and Mr. Harrison's spent it all the first year and came down upon us for more Mr. Cleveland's watchword was reform and Mr. Harrison's is protection and the force bill. Now, let the South stand together and pull together and make one united effort to elect Mr. Cleveland, for there is no hope from any other party, and no hope from any platform except reform." " When your heart is bad. and your bead is bad, and you are bad clean through, what is needed?" asked a Sunday-9hool teacher of her class.

Leaving Weldon on the Atlantic Coast Line nothing of marked significance occurrr 1 until we reached Washington the uexi morning (Wednesday, March 30th. ' A. M.) and here I regret that my des criptive powers are entirely inadequate to do justice to Washington or what ; saw there. Washington in many rspects is the most interesting city in Americ Thousand are attracted there annua by the bauty of its strts, park public buildings, statuary, and oil objects that interest the traveler. What first attracts the attention ot th stranger i the unusual width of its streets, and avenue. The Capitol ot the United States like that of Ancient Rome stands upon a hill. The river from the Dome in simply magnificent. The rotunda which oecupys the center of the Capitol is an elegant circular hall 97 feet in diameter, 300 fet in circum- , ference with a central height of 180 feet and 3 inches. There are hundreds of , other things which I would like to i describe to you if upacc would allow. but I cannot pass without telling you j something of the famous Washington j monument, the foundation of which is 80 feet square, and is set in solid rock, j 3G feet below the surface of the earth. , That portion from the ground up which : is 555 feet high is built utirely of! white marble. In addition to th stair way in the center of theshaft is an . elevator in which tha writer was car- ! ried to the bight of 500 feet. I started out to tell you of what I am : seeing in Canada, and I therefore must hasten on my journey. On the after noon of the 31st of March, I arrived , at the world renowned Niagara Falls, i While waiting at the station to get our ; baggage checked before going into Canada, the roar of those mighty water can be heard from a groat dis- . tance. Starting from the railway statiou we cross on that great piece of engineering skill, the Suspension Bridge; looking from the car window to the seething waters below, (the Niagara river) is a sight never to be forgotten. Fourteen years have elapsed since I left the land of my birth, and now I am on Canadian soil again. Fifty miles more will bring us to our destination, passing through the Para dise of Canada from Niagara Falls to Hamilton. After an hour and a half ride, my friends who were on the train with me said, "this is Hamilton," and sure enough here wc were, glad that we had reached our destination. Leav ing the cars, we were met by kind friends who gave us a cordial welcome and escorted us to their comfortable home. After a good night's rest, we felt much refreshed the next day. Here are the same streets, the same mountains, and same lovely bay, the same shores, and many 01 tne same louses, yet all is changed; hardly can recoguize the home of my youth. Where did these fine steamers come from? Who built those piers and wharfs? Who laid out those beautiful avenues? How the trees have grown from small to large! Aud during what night did these fine hotels and mag nificent buildings sprout up like mush rooms? their gables waving f with flags and their lobbies thronged with guests. The noisy thoroughfare of the city is broad and nrunani. 1 ne snops which line it on either side are siinplj' grand, their windows containing all the richproducts of the world, and all the latest novelties displayed to great advantage to tempt the crowds which daily pass. Going from the city proper are handsome villas and country residences with stretches of green lawns in front of them which is truly a velvet carpet of nature. From within tliHr magnificent mansions come couium ot music, singing and laughter. The porches and verandas are brightened by the fresh dresses ot young ladies. and the fashionable cut suits of young ntlemeti. We will now leave th city with all its throng, business and rush and ascend the mountain side . Reaching the top a level river i before you. Directly underneath i the city.
