SECONDING CLEVELAND'S
NOMINATION.
James A. McKeuzh', of Kentucky, at
tin- Chicago Convention, Talks
Sense and Delisrlits His Hearers.
Kentucky was next called. The
chairman of the Kentucky delegation
arose and said;
"This State has no candidate, to
present to the Convention, but we
have selected-Mr. McKenzie to second
the name of a gentleman already in
nomination."
James A. McKenzie I shall not
long intrude myself upon the patience
of this convention. I want to say in
the outset that if I address it longer
than three minutes, I sincerely trust
that some honest, tired Democrat will
suspend my cadaver from one of the
crossbeams of this highly artistic but
somewhat leaky auditorium. I arise,
sir, lor the purpose of seconding the
nomination of a distinguished New
Yorker, , one whose nomination has
already
A voice "Which one?"
Mr. McKenzie You wait a minute.
One whose nomination has already
been made by a convention larger and
more potential than this; a convention
of unbought and unpurchasable Demo
crats; a convention remote from
towns, unawed by influence and un
bribed gain; a convention whose hall
reaches from Rainy Lake to Key West
and from Androscoggin to Yubadam.
This period of the speaker produced
a convulson of laughter at the subsi
dence of which h said, as several
cries of "Go on" fell from the air:
Give me time to catch my second
wind, won't you? A voice "Give
him an hour." Pardon the force and
seeming profanity of the last geogra
phical allusion. Laughter. All over
the country the Democrats realize that
Mr. Cleveland loud applause and
cheers is the honest, earnest, per
sistent, defiant, relentless opponent of
that axiom of the Republican party,
which announces that "in the sweat
of a hired man's face thou shalt eat
bread."
As the speaker paused, apparently
to catch his "second wind" he was
greeted with cries of "Go on," "Take
your time," "We will never suspend
you."
The speaker continued: If you
knew how many good things I had to
say, you would keep as a dormouse in
a prayer meeting. Laughter and an
occasional cry or "time's up." Do
you want me to stop? The audiance
indicated that it did not in a most
emphatic manner. The American
people believe that Mr. Cleveland is
the most persistent advocate of every
thing on God's green earth that is
right applause and the persistent
advocate, or opponent, rather, of
everything that is wrong, laughter
and he wants to see the blessings of
civil and religious liberty entailed
upon the remotest posterity, and if
you can pick a flaw in that platform,
do it.
Republican party levied a tax upon
everything that enters into the do
mestic consumpton of the average
household, except air apd sunshine
nnd water laughter and the only
reason they have not taxed these
articles is because nobody in New
England is engaged in the manufac
ture of cither one of them. (Loud
applause and cheers.) Mr. Chairman,
if anybody in New England ever sets
up a sunshine factory, they will start
the report that God Almighty is
making an indifferent article of sun
shine, and that it is militating against
the dignity of American labor.
"I represent, allow me to say in
conclusion, in my judgment, more
than half of the unterrified Demo
crats of Kentucky (loud cries of
"Good) a State, thank God, where
the "damned lie" is the first lick
(laughter) a State that uses a kind
of liquor so good as to make intem
perance a virtue; a State that produces
a breed of horses so fast as to keep the
wind in perpetual jealousy, and make
the lightning like a puling paralytic.
(Laughter.)
"Representing, Mr. Chairman, more
than half the Democrats of that great
State, it affords me great pleausure to
say that on every hillside, in every
valley of that magnificent common
vealth, where the sun delights to kiss
her cheek like a lover, everybody,
male and female, including Indians
not taxed (laughter) is for Grover
Cleveland." (Applause.) Chicago
Herald.
Senator Teller, of Colorado,
recognizes the danger which menaces
his party in the West by the Third
party movement, and is endeavoring
to keep the States of that section in
ihe Republican column in order to
prevent the election of the President
from being thrown into the House,
which, he thinks, would be the case
should two or three of them be cap
tured by the new political organiza
tion. The Sanford Express says: Madam
Rumor says a great many of the
farmers of the county who have for the
last three months been affiliating with
the Third party, are returning to the
old ship ot Democracy. They see
that division means lorce bill, negro
rule, blood-shed and strife.
MY MOTHER.
Atlanta Constitution.
My mother ! How these magic words,
My heart with raptuie thrill !
Wooing from memory's hallowed chords
Their sweetest music still ;
Down the dim pathway of the years,
My footsteps 1 retrace.
Till, shining through a mist of tears,
I see my mother's face.
The sweet mouth, ever wont to speak
With such a winning way,
Tins soulful eyes, the dimpled cheek.
The dark hair, streaked with gray ;
The mien, so full of gentleness,
Tlte form, so fine and fair,
The love no tongue can e'er express
All, all again are there !
I see her kneeling down to pray.
K'side my trundle bed,
I feel the tender hand that lay
Upon my curly head ;
And, following the " good-night" kiss,
1 hear Oh ! crown of Joy
(How well I yet remember this !)
ller fond, " God bless my boy !"
Back to the day's of manhood's prime,
My footsteps 1 retrace,
To the dear spot, the sad, sweet time,
When last 1 saw her face ;
Beside the open gate I stand,
And tears are in her eyes ;
I feel the last grasp of her hand,
I hear her last " goodby !"
My mother ! Many a year ago
She entered into rest.
Above her head the roses blow,
And violets on her breast ;
Yet is her face the fairest still,
In memory's golden frame,
And still my heart strings throb and thrill,
At mention of her name.

Vote of The North Carolina Dele
gation at Chicago.
Let all criticism, therefore, upon
North Carolina's small vote for Cleve
land cease at once, for that was the
finest piece of engineering in the whole
convention, and North Carolina comes
off with the honor ot naming the
second man on the national ticket
and that honor to one of North Caro
lina parentage. Goldsboto Argus.
The large vote given by the North
Carolinians to Mr. Stevenson for the
presidential office boosted him a vast
deal when it came to selecting a nom
inee for the office of Vice President.
Without this help without this atten
tion having been called to him it is
very doubtful, indeed, if Mr. Steven
son's candidacy . would have been
successful. Richmond '( Fa.) Dispatch.
It is evident from the vote that Mr.
Stevenson owes his prominence before
the convention to the support he
received from this State, and doubt
less his nomination to the vice presi
dency was due to the loyalty of the
North Carolina delegation. It is a
victory to have nominated the Vice
President and this victory was won
by our State. The Chronicle effers its
compliments to the delegates. State
Chronicle.
The North Carolina delegation went
to Chicago uninstructed in terms; but
there was a drift of opinion that found
expression in various ways to the effect
that no matter how much Cleveland
was esteemed, the North Carolina
delegation had better cast their votes
for another candidate. We think the
North Carolina delegation followed
the sentiment that prevailed in the
conventions which gave them their
credentials. They represented the
feeling in North Carolina. Raleigh
News and Observer.
An Income Tax Demanded.
Our sensible contemporary, the
Butler Herald, makes a strong argu
ment for an income tax, and urges the
Democratic house to make the issue.
It says:
Our law-making power cannot say
in so many words that a man or a
family shall not be worth a billion of
doHars-as the Vanderbilt family will
be in the next twenty-five years or
ten million, or one million of dollars.
But the government can levy a graded
income tax to make the acquisition of
such monstrous fortunes almost im
possible. It is the duty of our represen
tatives in congress, so far as their
power goes, to pass such an act, and
let the Republican senate and presi
dent refuse to give it their sanction if
they dare. The people will then see
clearly who are their friends and who
their foes, and they, the people, will
then no donbt turn out their oppressors
and fill their places with men who
hive some proper conception ot right
and justice.
The sentiment of the people is so
overwhelmingly in favor of such a tax
that we do not see how it can be post
poned much longer. Republican op
position to it will make that party more
plainly than ever the tool of pluto
cracy, and the masses will rally round
the standard of Democracy and snow
it under with their bollots. The in
come tax is bound to come.
Col. John R. Fellows, speaking of
Cleveland's chances in New York,
says:
"Tammany will do better work for
Cleveland this year than she did four
years ago, and in saying that I do not
j mean to say that Tammany hall neg
j lected her duty by the presidential
: candidate. What I mean is, an im
pression prevails that our organization
is hostile to Cleveland. We are not
hostile to him, but since this impres
sion exists we think we must neutra
lize it by putting forth our best efforts.
I believe we will do better work for
Cleveland this year than we would
have done if Tammany hall had not
opposed him."
Gen. Stevenson's great grand un
cle was a signer of the Mecklenburg
Declaration of Independence.
OF THE PEOPLE'S PARTY.
Adopted by the Convention at Omaha
Last Week.
Assembled on the anniversary of the
birthday of the nation and filled with
the spirit of the grand chief who
established our independence, we seek
to restore the government of the re
public to the hands of the plain
people, with which class it originated.
We assert our purposes to be identical
with the purposes of the National con
stitution to form a more perfect
union and establish justice, insure
domestic tranquillity, provide for the
common defence, promote the general
welfare, and secure the blessings of
liberty for ourselves and our posterity.
We declare that this republic can only
endure as a free government while
built upon the love of the whole people
for each other and lor the nation;
that it cannot be pinned together by
bayonets; that the civil war is over,
and the passion and resentment which
grew out of it must die with it, and
that we must be in fact, as we are in
name, one united brotherhood.
Our country finds itself confronted
by conditions for which there is no
precedent in the history of the world.
Our annual productions amount to
billions of dollars in value, which must
within a few weeks or months be ex
changed for billions of dollars of com
modities consumed in their produc
tion. The existing currency supply
is wholly inadequate to make this
exchange. The results are falling
prices, the formation of combines and
rings, the impoverishment of the
producing class. We pledge our
selves that if given power we will labor
to correct these evils by wise and
reasonable legislation in accordance
with the terms of our platform.
We believe that the powers of
government in other words, of the
people should be expanded (as in
the case of the postal service) as rap
idly and as far as the good sense of
an intelligent people and the teach
ings of Providence shall justify, to the
end that the oppression, injustice and
poverty shall eventually cease in the
land. While our sympathies as a
party of reform are naturally upon
the side of every proposition which
will tend to make men intelligent,
virtuous and temperate, we neverthe
less regard these questions important
as they are as secondary to the great
issues now pressing for solution, and
upon which not only our individual
prosperity, but the very existence of
free institutions depend; and we ask
all men to first help us to determine
whether we are to have a republic to
administer before we differ as to con
ditions on which it is to be adminis
tered. Believing that the forces of reform
this day organized will never cease to
move forward until every wrong is
righted, and equal rights established for
all the men and women of this country,
we declare, therefore
First. That the union of the labor
forces of the United States this day
consummated shall be permanent and
perpetual. May its spirit enter into
all hearts for the salvation of the
republic and aid in the uplifting of
mankind.
Second. Wealth belongs to him
who creates it, and every dollar taken
from industry without an equivalent is
a robbery. If any will not work
neither shall he eat.' The interests of
rural and civic labor are the same;
their enemies are indentical.
Third. We believe that the time
has come when the railroad corpora
tions will either own the people or
the people must own the railroads, and
should the government enter on the
work of owning and managing all
railroads we should favor an amend
ment to the Constitution by which all
persons engaged in the government
service should be placed under civil
service regulations of the most rigid
character, so as to prevent the increase
of the power of the national adminis
tion by the use of such additional
government employes.
Fourth. We demand a national
currency, sale, souna ana iiexiDie, is
sued by the general government only,
a full legal tender for all debts, public
and private, and that, without the use
of banking corporations, a just, equit
able, and efficient means of distribu
tion direct to the "people at a tax not
to exceed z per cent, per annum be
provided, a; set forth in the subtreas
ury plan o; tir? Farmers' Alliance, or
a better system ; also by payments in
the discharge of its obligations for
public improvements.
(A.) We demand the free and un
limited coinage of silver and gold at
the present legal ratio of 16 to i.
(B.) We demand that the amount
of the circulating medium be speedily
increased to not less than $50 per
capita.
(C.) We demand a graduated in
come tax.
(D.) We believe that the money
of the country should be kept as much
as possible in the hands of the people,
and hence we demand that all state
and national revenues shall be limited
to the necessary expeases of the gov
ernment, economically and honestly
administered.
(E.) We demand that postal savings
banks be established by the govern
ment for the safe deposit of the
earnings of the people and to facilitate
exchange, - Transportation being a
means of exchange and a public neces
sity, the government should own and
operate the railroads in the interest
of the people.
(F.) The telegraph and telephone,
like the postoffice system, being a
necessity for the transmission of news,
should be owned and operated by the
government in the interest of the
people.
(G.) The land, including all the
natural sources of wealth, is the heri
tage of the people and should not be
monopolized for speculative purposes,
and alien ownership of land should
be prohibited. All lands now held
by railroads and other corporations in
excess of their actual needs, and lands
now owned by aliens, should be re
claimed by the government and field
for actual settlers only.
NORTH CAROLINA AT THE
COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.
There is no matter in which the
people of North Carolina are more
deeply interested, than the success of
the exhibit which they will make at
the Columbian Exposition. This Ex
position will furnish us an apportunity
of making the world acquainted with
our great and varied resources, and if
a proper exhibit can be made, the
benefit resulting to our State will be
incalculable. There are a number
of departments in which we could
excel almost any other State if these
interests are properly illustrated. We
have a greater variety of minerals,
metal and gems, than any other State.
We have a greater variety of valuable
timbers. Our agricultural products
are more varied, and include a larger
variety of those in the cultivation of
which there is great profit.
We note with great pleasure the
satisfactory progress which is being
made by the Department of Agricul
ture, assisted by the ladies of the State,
in preparing our exhibit. When we
consider the limited resources at their
command, they have so far done re
markably well and deserve the grati
tude of the people of the State. They
should receive a more hearty and cor
dial assistance from the people. By
a united and earnest effort we will have
a display of our resources at Chicago
of which we need not be ashamed.
We learn that great progress has been
made in preparing the exhibit of fish
and fowls and that in this depart
ment we will make a magnificent
show. We also learn that the Dur
ham Bull Tobacco Company will
make a show of the products of their
mammoth factory, and we venture to
say there will be nothing at Chicago
to equal it, for when Jule Carr under
takes to do anything he always does
it well.
We are not informed as to the prog
ress the ladies have made in raising
the necessary funds to erect a State
building, but have no doubt that their
efforts will be successful. They have
worked diligently and deserve great
praise. The time has come when
whatever they lack in raising the
necessary amount should be made up
at once by our wealthy citizens. These
women have worked faithfully and
deserve to be at once relieved from
the burden by the generous contribu
tions of the wealthy citizens of the
State, many of whom could contribute
the whole amount without inconven
ience. We would be glad to see a deeper
interest in this matter manifested by
the people generally. Every man in
the State is interested in the success
of this exhibit and should realize the
fact and as far as he may be able,
render aid to the undertaking. Let
us go to Chicago with our heads up.
Rocky Mount Argonaut
GET TO WORK.
Well organized work is what is now
needed in the Democratic ranks in
this State and county. It would be
well to get down to work and that
pretty quick.
Thorough organization in every
township will be more effectual than a
great many campaign speeches, though
the speeches are also necessary."
The Atlanta Constitution, writing
along this line, puts the matter in a
nutshell, by saying: The committees
will have to be organized; the litera
ture must be provided; a fund must
be raised and a corps of active workers
must be organized.
It will not do in such a struggle to
rily wholly upon a platform and a
ticket. Our workers must get out
among the people and sound the
danger signal everywhere.
Inactivity among our leaders will
cause apathy among the masses, and
apathy is just what our opponents hope
for.
A few speeches will not accomplish
everything. From now until Novem
ber what we need is work intelligent
work, organized work, determined,
enthusiastic and untiring work!
That's the way to win the fight.

HOTUKE N1S,
BLOODY SCENES IN PENN
SYLVANIA. Piukerton Men Armed Witk Win
chester Rifles and Workinsrmen at
Carnegie Iron Works Have a Pitch
ed Battle at Homestead.
Pittsburg, Pa., Jane 6 : Pittsburg
has had another experience with labor
riots, and this time, as during' the
feartulfcenes which were witnessed
during the railroad riots of 1877,
blood has been shed, rife jeopardized
and'valuable property placed in danger.
This time there was no destruction of
property, but the mob was thoroughly
well organized, well disciplined and
had officers at their head to conduct
operations. The force embraced all
the men employed in the extensive
plant of the Carnegie Iron and Steel
Company, at Homestead, some eight
miles east of Pittsburg. And a battle,
which, for blood-thirstiness and bold
ness of execution, has not been ex
celled in actual warfere, was waged
from 4 o'clock in the morning until
5 o'clock this afternoon, and only
ceased when the force of Pinkertons
brought to the place to suppress the
strike, unconditionally surrendered,
leaving their arms in the barges in
which they had been transported to
the works.
Trie riot to-day was the culmination
of troubles which have been brewing
at Homestead for the past month. The
Carnegie company submitted a scale
to govern their workmen in the steel
plant and announced that it was their
ultimatum. The scale made a sweep
ing reduction in the wages of skilled
men and it was officially announced
that unless the terms were complied
with before July 1st the places of the
workmen would be filled by others.
This was followed by the peremptory
refusal on the part of the company to
recognize the Amalgamated Associa
tion ot Steel and Iron Workers as
such, or to confer with any committee
of workmen short of an acceptance of
the terms offered.
The men stated that they would
never submit to the proposed reduction
and announced their determination
to resist any effort on the part of the
Carnegies to start up their plant with
non-union men.
As both sides were determined,
both proceeded to prepare for the
contest which culminated in the deeds
of violence and bloodshed that were
witnessed to-day in that big hive of
industry on the Monongahela.
The contest was precipitated by the
workmen at Homestead by hanging in
effigy, H. C. Frick, president of the
company, and in retaliation the com
pany ordered an immediate shutdown
of the big works two days before the
time provided by the contract under
which the men were working. The
employes at once proceeded to or
ganize for defense and the company
erected a high board fence around the
entire works, giving them the appear
ance of an immense stockade, tke sides
being pierced with portholes, and the
toD protected with three strands of
barbed-wire ready to be charged with
a deadly current of electricity.
Yesterday the Carnegie company
announced their intention to proceed
to get ready to make repairs and the
officials asked the sheriff to appoint
deputies to protect their property.
The sheriff sent a small squad of men
up to the works but the strikers assem
bled in force and notified them to get
out of town, as no disorder was in
tended and that no damage would be.
done to any property. They evefff
offered to be sworn in as deputies and
to give bonds for faithful performance
of their duties as conservators of the
peace.
When this offer was declined, the
advisory committee which had been
directing the action of the workmen,
and which had held turbulent, spirits
among the workmen in check, was
immediately dissolved and all records
of the committee promptly destroyed.
The developments to-day showed
that the application made for the assis
tance of the sheriff was merely for the
purpose of covering what was intended
to be a coup de main on the part of
the Carnegie company in clandestinely
introducing a body of Pinkerton
detectives into the mill enclosure. The
detectives, too, had been in rendez
vous some five or six miles below the
city on the Ohio river, at which point
two model barges had been prepared
for them.
When the boats attempted to land
the workmen broke through the fence
surrounding the mill, and entrenching
themselves behind piles of steel billets,
prepared to resist the landing of the
detectives.
By 4 o'clock in the morning an
effort was made to land the detectives,
but the strikers met them and a fierce
battle was precipitated, both sides
exchanging a heavy volley of shots.
The detectives were all armed with
Winchester rifles, but at the point
where the attempt to land was made
was a steep embankment and they
were compelled to go in single file
and were soon driven back to the
boats by the steady fire from the shore.
The noise of the battle spread about
the borough like wild fire, and thou
sands of men, women and children
thronged to the river bank to witness
the fight in progress. The Pinkerton
men were determined to land and
fired volley after volley into the ranks !
of the strikers, many of whom were '
downed by bullets, some of them being j
fatally injured and others killed out- 1
right. I
As the battle progressed the strikers
took a position behind the breastwork? ;
hastily constructed of steel and billets 1
and from this place oi safe refuge were '
able to pick off the detectives as soon :
as they appeared on the decks of the j
boats. j
When it was found that little im- j
pression could be made by cannon on j
the boats, an effort was made to fire j
the .barges, and ihus compel the de-;
lectives to leave Ihe vessels or suffer
the terrible r fate of being burned alive.
Hose as procured and oil was spouted
on the sides and decks of the barges,
and while this was being done barrel
after barrel oi it vas emptied into the
river above the mooring place, the
object being to allow it to float against
the boats and ignite it. This terrible
deed was attempted several times, but
the boats did not burn, and then the
mob became infuriated and hurled
dynamite bombs at the vessels with
great effect.
The situation of the detectives was
such as to appall the stoutest heart.
The men had keen left cooped up in the
barges at the mercy of the infuriated
mob. The towboats had left them,
and they were so encompassed by the
maddened army of strikers that no
succor could reach them. Three times
they ran up a flag of truce, but as many
times it was stricken down by bullets
fired by the strikers.
At 6 o'clock the Pinkerton men
hung out another . white flag and this
time it was respected and a committee
of the strikers went aboard to pro
pose terms of capitulation. They
guaranteed safe conduct for the Pin
kertons provided they left their arms
and ammunition behind and agreed to
leave the place under guard.
The detectives had no alternative
and promptly accepted the terms,
some of the men saying that it was the
first time that they had ever submitted
to such a humiliating surrender. When
an inspection of the boats was made
it was found that seven of the Pinker
ton men had been killed and twenty
or thirty wounded, many of them so
badly that they will die.
As they were brought from the boat
they presented a terrible appearance.
Many were besmeared with blood,
while all of them showed signs of
exhaustion from the the long confine
ment in close quarters between the

Homestead, Pa., July 7. Home
stead is strangely silent this morning.
It is the quiet of sober afterthought.
The leaders are wondering what will
be the next step. The men are bath
ing their wounds or making prepara
tions to bury their dead. Except for
the large crowds of sightseers, the
town would be more than normally
still. The leaders of the men projxwe
at once to have the fence on Car
negie s property rebuilt and also to
repair all other damage caused by
yesterday's riot. This will be done so
as to prevent any suits for damages
from the company. The old guards were
secured by the men and placed on
duty to again look after the com
pany's interests. There is much sur
prise here over the report of release by
the sheriff of the Pinkerton guards.
When the men agreed not to kill the
guards it was with the understanding
that they should be placed in juil until
informations for murder could be
swom out against them. The report
of their release excited much angry
discussion at first, but this was quieted
when it was remembered that if the
men appeared as witnesses they would
themselves be liable to prosecution for
riot. Several ot toe leaders expressed
relief over the release and believed no
legal complications would arise.
