There is a beautiful city Laid out in walk and square, Where flowers in profusion Perfume the summer air. Tis there tho willow waveth, And tbe violet lifts its bead, And they call this lovely city Tho city ot the dead. The breeze in dalliance From flower to flower roves, And the air geeuos purer In those quiet shady groves. No found disturbs the btillness, No laughter rude and loud ; For there is something in that city, Awea e'en the gayest crowd. And ftide by side there slumber The rich man and the poor ; There foes lies down together, Nor wrong each other more; There sleep the great, tbe lewly ; The same trees o'er them wave; For earth's proud and vain dietiuoN tions Are levelled by the grave. Here some weary, aged warrior Quietly takes his rest: And near htm some nala vomic L j B mother With her baby ou her breasr. There tbe wealthy merchant slum bers, And dreams no moie of train : There the widowed ouo forereteth Life's weariness aud pain. The bride in ber fair beauty. ltu orauge buds in her hair. And the wedding robe around her, bleeps calm and peaceful there: There the orator proud reposes, A a' one at head and feet, A nameless one lies near him, Whose rest is just as sweet. Artist, statesmau and poet Wooers alike of fame 1 Your haunting dreamshave vanished, Aud a white slab bears your name. Ah I who has not bowed with weep ing Over some coffined head ? For we all have loved and lost ones In the City of the Dead. An Open Letter. The Daily Argus will contain to4 morrow mcrning the following which speaks for itself : To the Bon. IV. P. Exwn, People's Party Candidate for Governor of North Carolina: My Dear Sik: After looking carefully over tne field, I find every argument against the democratic party false. 1 looked carefully through the ''political tickler" and 1 find that the republican party is responsible for all the bad lawp, aud only occasionally has a demo crat voted for any of these bad laws. The republican party passed all the bad acts explained in tbe "seven financial conspiracies" so truthfully by Mrs. Emery, and when these measures went through Congress every branch was republican. One of the leading facts our reformers now advocate is that this legisla tion has been more harmful than ever the iniquitous protective tariff laws, of which the republican party is also the author aud advocate. When Mr. Emery's eloquence shook the faith of the western Republi cans in their party, I am of the opiniou that the enjointment should have been, go to the democratic party which has so earnestly oppos ed these conditions that nov crush the laborer and farmer to almost a half-existing state of livelihood. If the retormets now divide on the verge of victory, is it not suicide and especially so when they are to look to the republican party for as sistance, and that party the ac- knowledged author of all the evils of which we complain ? I see so many dangers ahead that 1 tremble for the destiny of our Stata under the existing political conditiou of affairs. The republicans are now taking a census of the voters to find out our strength in tbe following way: First: To know how many people's party in we have that have been democrats. Second : How many will return to tbe demo cratic fold in case they give us a tbreei-oornored fight. Now if they are assumed of a victory to fight their own battle, they rejoice at our division and will fake advantage of the same. But as the last report they will support our people's par ty ticket, aud a victory with their support will be a blank victory for reform ana only leave uh at their j mercy in 1896. Hence the very same lion that pulls our load in 1892 will turn on us and devour us in 1S9G. And 1 s?e that victory for us now is a victory for the re pnblican party in 189G, with the strong probability of their comiu? in the field in the 11th hour this year even and carrying the State by reason of the peopled party. While I regret to be seemingly uu true to my friends in the people's party there Is a duty more sacred than personal friendship and that duty is to 0 in the cause that calls tho patriotic sons of North Carolina to the standard bearers of democrat cy ; and under this banner I am not only true to my friends but to all other citizens of my State, because democracy is the true friend of all the people the masses. I surren der all political ambitions or pross pects Jor what I conceive to be a more sacred duty, viz : voting tne democratic ticket and thereby prov ing mjself faitbful to the bet ins teresta of my State and country. I ansore you of my personal friend ship, aud also regretting everything that shall prove detrimental to ou personally. But I assure you that the same motives that caused me to be your political advooate, cause me, upon accurate investigation, to bo true 10 the party that opposes the great evils that now afflict us. Yours very respectfully, Dal. M, Hardy. Goldsboro, N. C Aug. 29, 1892. A Republican GiYes Reasons Why Harrison Should be Xeeatel. To the Editor ol tbe ''World." I am a republican without any "ifs or auds," but I have no paity to support in the present national campaign. I am one of tbe organ izer of the party, aud have been ou the stump for it in every presiden tial campaign since 185G. In the campaign of 1888 I was invited to speak by -the republican national committee, aud under its direction I did speak from August 25 to No. vember 5 in the states of New York, New Sersey, Connecticut, and New Hampshire. I believed then that Benjamin Harrison was an honest man and a good republican, I am sure now that he is neither, and that no self-respecting republican can conscientiously vote for his re election. Vital fundamental principles of integrity and constitutional liberty are far aboye questions of mere par ty policy, let tbem be ever so ira pjrtant or divergent. On those questions I am prepared to main tain in debate : First That Benjamine Harrison is not a republican aud as a politic cian he is not an honest man. Second That in the presidential office he is both an unsafe and an incompetent iucumbent. Third That he has beeu false to every party pledge he indorsed in 1888. Fourth That he by corrupt in strumentalities packed the Minne apolis convention, and thus became tbe nominee of his own tools and Hot of the republican party, which now is without national representa- tion. Fifth That the pure gold of the party must be eliminated from tho dross that defiles it by means of fervent heat in the crucible of ad versity, and that present defeat, as it must be endured, is but a proper rebuke to transparent bypocricy aud ill ccnoealed usurpation. Such a rebuke means tbe rehabilitation of recognized republican principles and of cherished constitutional lib erty. JOSEPH A. NUNEZ. Whea Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria.

The Gazette is the name of a pa per published iu lialeigh by a col ored man aud circulated mainly among colored men. It is now printing a series of articles from "Two Tar Heel Delegates" who at tended the Minneapolis convention which nominated Harrison. We quote from the letter: 'The galleries thundered at every mention of Blame's name. Harri son's friends were not daunted by the demonstration, but seemed to wait with that quiet patience which makes one Maugh iu his sleeve,' as it were, at the rampaging of an en emy wbieh ho knows he caii whip. The colored delegates stood firm, i'hey were opposed to Blaine be cause of his opposition lo the Force bill of lecouHtruclioii times, aud hia treatment of Douglas in couueclion with the Uaytian missiou. They also recognized iu Harrison a friend to tbe race in many ways. So the colored delegates stood firm, they were not for sale, aud the cry of boodlers cau not be truthfully thrust at them." In the face ot the declaration from i-wo negro delegates fiom North Carolina, who can doubt that Har. ritiou was nominated because of bis advocacy of tbe Force bill ? North Carolinian. A Timely Appeal. Col. E. D. Hall, ot Wilmington, Major General of the North Caroli na Division U. C. V., has issued the following adrress to the Confede rate veterans of North Carolina: Wilmington, N. C , Aug,, 2G, 1892. "Iu 1861 North Carolina called upou her sons to delend her honor aud ber life in the tented field. Over 120,000 responded to the call and near ly one third of them gave tbeir lives in her defense. While yoo failed of the victory for which you fought, like honorable men you were, having accepted the result of tbe conflict as liual and in good faith, you stand to-day true aud loyal citizens of the American Un ioo, yet by your valor and heroic endurance yon made tbe name of North Carolina glorious throughout tbe civilized world. 4In 1892 North Carolina again calls upou her sons to protect ber from ruin and destruction. The Democratic patty that overthrew tbe Ganby carpetbag government, tbe deadliest enemy that ever preyed upon us, and drove it from power, has from that time to this continued to give the people ot this State a pure, wise aud economical administration, of which we can justly be proud. That government is now threatened with overthrow and our beloved State with a repe tition of the days of 1869 aud 1870. "The goverumunt of the State under the rule of the Democratic party has been all that true citizens could aek for. It has protected all in f erson and property and iu the pursuit of peace and happiness. No breath ot scandal has ever touched it. Yon all remember the Kirk war when many ot you who had been aiercifully spared from battle and pestilence aud famine and prison, were made to suffer worse penis ana pains than you confronted in actual war. This could never have happened uuder Democtatic rnle. 'It was tbe ItpuMican party that inflicted this cure upon you, and it h with that party you are now con tending, for it is not to be con cealed that Democtatic deft-at mans Republican misrule. Come forwatd again, old soldiers, to the rescue ot our State. Be ttue to your own pelves snd to the uiemeiy of your di p.irlid comrades. jKally to tho standard ot the Dem oratic party and lrt not the good government it represents be put again under negro domination. Work, woik, early and late, and call jgut Kiis, grandsons and your neighbors to your side in the fight, And when tbe victory is won iu No, vember your grand old Mother State will again crown you with aurels and call you blessed."

Weav er's war ncotd : "general weaver, while iu coins maud at Pulaski, in January, 1601 issued an order to Charles C. Aber nathy, John H. Newhill, Robert Rhodes and others that thoy pay in to uis nanus 5iuuu lor me main taiuauce of refugees (meaning no- EToes and renegadet Ironi Alabama) Tnis order was accompauied by the threat that if the money was not p.tid they and tluii lamilies would be rient fcOiith and their property giveu to said refugees. All ot these parties are dead now, at;d were over sixty years obi when that, onler was issued. Cau any Southern man vote for huch a heartless wretel A inau by the name of C. W. Witt sold Mr. Jasper Cox, a very poor man, two thousand pounds of bacon for which he received tbe catd). Mr, Cox took the hacou to the cotton mills in Lawrence county and trad ed it for cotton twist. This he care fully stored away in the loft ot bin little cabin, thinking it. would assist him iu purchasing a little home af ter the war, as be was very poor, with a large family, and had no home. Weaver learned through some source that this gentleman had tbe cottou twist, and sent a detach ment of soldiers to his hon e and took possession ol it. ami whipped it to Iowa for his own use. The cot tou twist was worth at tbe time it was stolen $2,000. Jasper Cox is liviug in Giles couuty. John P Williams, a poor bat highly respect' ed farmer in Giles county, had twenty. five tat hogu, which at the time were worth 10 per hundred, gross, and a lot of turkey?,- Weav er, in person, took a file of soldiers into Williams' place and made tbe soldiers shoot every hof on the place and bad them brought into camp. When Williams asked lor a voucher Weaver said : l I don't give rebels in the South vouchers. would rather furnish rope to hang every d n one of them." Mr. Wil nams is still living ana will swear to the above if necessary. The hogs were valued at $750. The turkeys belmged to Mis. Williams, and she begged to have ihem spar ed, but the heartless wretch had them all killed and taken to head quarters for bid own special use, re marking to Mrs. Williams that she bad no business being the wife of a rebel. Weaver made it a practice to charge our citiznn 10 cents each for passes to come into and go out of the Federol lines. Tiiia money he put into his own pockets. This pass read as follows : Pasa tbe beater through the Federal lines. J. B.

Becanse he sacrificed bis re-election trying to relieve him of his burdens Promineuc gentlemen asked Mr. Cleveland tf be did not know that his tariff message would bringdown tbe condemnation ot the inouey power on his bead, and probably defeat him. Ilia reply deserves to live : "Gentlemen, I have given those matters thorough consideration. I have done right. I am willing to accept tbe consequences lor myself aud my party. In wtiat I have done I have had in my mind one man, who has beeu oppressed, bowed down, well uigb ruined by taxation that is the American Farmer.'
