j THE PROGRESSIVE FARlEQil: OCTOBER 18. 1892. 3 i i' i ZEKE BILKINS. A3 Another Row, But Peaceful Once More Ceo. Washington's Narrow Escape. Hello ! Mr. Editor." j Hello ! Major. What can I do for you this morning?" B. -" Nothing much. I'm as happy a a pig in a creamery. Me an' Betsy have had another row, but peace once more reigns over the lan t. .i "What was the row about?" "Oh! that is not important. I gaid that all politicians were liars. Betsy said she knew one that wasn't. I asked her who it was. She said George Washington. I told her that if George bad lived in this day he would have fell from grace like a chunk or lead. Tht made Batsv mad. She thinks JJ.fcv there never wa3 such a man as George Washington, an' I reckon they have been purty skase. Betsy says she used to think more of me than she did of General Washington, but says I am not as truthful. She says that when we got married I promised "to love, serve and obey her." I reckerlect promisin' the preacher somethin', but blamed if I believe I promised that 1 think it was the other way. Betsy did the promisin', but I have had to do the obeyin'." R 44G1 id to hear that peace reigns once more. I suppose politics are not mentioned nowadays." B. 4,Oh!yes, we talk politics same as ever, but we are thinkin' the same way now. We have declared our in dependence, an' nothin' i left now but to drop the vote in the slo an7 see it counted. Betsy says there aint no use in quarrellin' about these things, for it wouldn't do fer everybody to think an' vote alike. I'm glad they don't, but they ought not to fall out an' be un neighborly over politics. The devil is to blame for all that. People ought to read both sides an' study matters so they can vote intelligently.. Me an' Betsy take all the party papers. We don't believe a good many things they 'publish, but we read them an' see how they do lie all the same. Betsy says the man who gets mad over politics an' won't speak to his neighbors who vote some other ticket, an' won't read both sides, stands a mighty poor chance of gettin' to Heayen. If he does go there he will try to raise a row over the tariff or force bill or government ownership of railroads before three days. Betsy says some of the pluto cratic politicians will try to get to Heaven with their pockets full of rot- 1 ten eggs, but I guess they will get left." R. "Yes, no tickets will be sold to such people. Disorderly persons wil not be allowed on the great train bound for eternity." HELPING THE REPUBLICANS. After doing many inconsistent things our Democratic friends have abou capped the climax by beginning a great campaign in the interest of the Republican ticket in this State. We have news from several localities in which work has been done by Demo crats. They are telling the negroes and some white Republicans that they "should stick to their party by al means this year, for they never did have such a good chance to elect their ticket. Is there anything that the moneycrats will not do to defeat re form? "Where are we at?" THEY'VE GOT HIM. It is now in order for the Democrats to get John H. Williamson, colored, to write a long letter telling why and how everybody ought to vote for Cleveland. He is now " one of 'em For some time he ha3 been running for Congress, presumablv at . the ex pense of Congressman Bunn. He was thus acting a3 a Democratic annex to defeat Mr. Stroud, People s jirty can Qiaate. tfut John has gone a step further. The last issue of H is oaDer the Gazette, rejoices over the the Democrats and negroes tory in Florida and Georgia, Jact that Jon a vic- tlnd won- aersottne Democrats will f jarry out the promises made to thdfnegroes (John was thinking about ttcl (acres of land and a mule while w '4fc that ) Below will be found oth ictt lippings from the editorial column J tl the Ga zette. Some of them a rAr but it is plain that John ia pfiving the way for the "brother in bla' ' l" as the T , . . 1,1' democrats style them, td i "Vote the : I D iVL i-rr-r in emocratic ticket. ww . ' Am WV w not doing all th, work in the interest of the Democratic party just for fun. xne Gazette says: Y "It is a rlp.,1SiiiA fn i a tn brmur that. the way ia open for our support of many very excellent gentlemen on the Democratic ticket. This support, how ever, will be given whe men and not the Democrats. "The Democrats Rfifim to hav rar. ried Florida. The dispatches state that large numbers of negroes voted that ticket. We hope that this may secure wiem some protection trom lynching and 'Jim Crow Cat' indignities. "Manv of our colored voters fpl very kindly toward some of our local jyeiuwrauu nominees, ana unless the canvass takes on the old time bitter ness they will secure manv of their votes. "As regards the local tinkers nomi nated in this county, the Gazette is not committed ta either." All we want is good local government, and we shall support such men as we are led to be lieve will secure to ua this end. Manv of the nominees of all the parties are gooa men ana true, and we heartily think that we cannot fail in making good selections. We are tnilv clad that conditions are such that the per? sonaiity or the candidates must de termine the contest." With the present election law and with the Republican State ticket as an annex, also by voting a large number of negroes the Democrats may defeat tne f eopie s party and put the State under negro rule. This is a remote danger, but not impossible. We ask our Democratic friends to remember the dark days of 76 and stop and think before they endanger the pros perity of the State. But we wash our hands of it all. If the headstrong Democratic leaders turn the State over to the negroes by voting with them or by getting the negroes to vote with them, then they must and shall be held responsible." GOOD NEWS FROM THE WEST. The Cleveland electors in the States of Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, North Dakota, and Minnesota have been withdrawn. In four of these States it was by demand of the Na tional Democratic Committee. Speak ing on this subject, with reference to Kansas, we find in the Keics and Ob server of the 13th the following: LETTER FROM CLEVELAND HE EXPRESSES GRATIFICATION AT THE S1TUA TION IN KANSAS. Topeka, Kansas. Oct. 12 Charles K. Holliday, Secretary of the Kansas Democratic Editorial Association, re ceived the following letter from Grover Cleveland in reply to a message from the association : "I assure you that the guarantee you give that "Kansas will not support by her electoral vote the iniquities the McKinley tariff bill is most gratifying. Nothing could be more' encouraging than to see Kansas break away from the partisan bonds that have so long and firmly held her and turn to the support of a principle which promises prosperity and contentment to all our people and a fair chance to those who have long been under the rule of un just taxation for the benefit of a hard taskmaster. Truly yours, Grover Cleveland." From the last clause of this letter of Mr. Cleveland it is evident that he ap proves breaking "away from partisan bonds" and turning to the support of a principle which promises prosperity and contentment to all our people," etc., and when we understand that these withdrawals are all in favor of the Weaver electoral ticket, all this is quite significant. ANTI-CALAMITY HOWLERS ARE HOWLING CALAMITY. They Out-Howl the Howlers. The Charlotte Observer no doubt sees defeat ahead, for it howls worse than any calamity howler this side of Howlersville. Just read this: "The Mecklenburg Times of last week said : "If all the people should forsake the trained physicians of the land and fol low after quacks, it would not be more foolish than to disregard the teachings of the wise and good statesmen of the nation, and follow demagogues and shallow politicians." This is the humiliating part of the whole business the part that makes a thoughtful man blush for his fellow men. 4 The wise and good statesmen ' of the State and Nation have fallen be low par. If Judge Badger were living to-day he would have less influence with the Third party in Wake county than the fellow Tonnoffski. If Gover nor Graham were alive he would find Buck Stroud, of Chatham, a bigger man in the Fourth Congressional dis trict than himself. Men who have heretofore been understood to have good sense have forsaken the standard of Ransom and Vance and enrolled themselves under the banner of Otho Wilson,' a bullet-headed anarchist, and of Marion Butler, who has the coun tenance of Guiteau, and is not worthy to be believed on oath. , Peter Phillips, a green goods purchaser, and Green Steele, who 'knows not and knows not that he knows not,' have supplanted H. C. Jones and Armistead Buxwell in public confidence in Mecklenburg county and Lee Lowe and Charlie Gib son have come to be greater men than H. D. Stowe and W.. E. Ardrey. So we go and may the Lord have mercy on us." Charlotte Observer. Tindall Alliance" No. 236, Union county, resolve to vote for the best in terests of the country, and will vote for no man or party that is against the St. Louis platform. THE SHERIFF WITHDRAWS. According to some of our exchangee, Mr. A. B. Peeler, People's party can didate for SherifiE in Cleveland county, has withdrawn from the race. He gives as a reason: " ' I have evidence of the unholy trade that has been made by Butler and Exum to sell the State to the Republicans for $50,000. I have the best reason to be lieve that a corrupt bargain exists be tween the leaders of the People's party and the Republicans whereby the rank and file of the People's party is be trayed into furthering the plans of the Republican party. My heart revolts against such treachery and corruption, and I will not allow myself to be made a party to any such movement." . He then declares hi3 intention to vote the Democratic ticket, from Grover down. y Now many of bur readers are inter ested in this matter. Mr. Peeler makes servious charges against Messrs. Exum and Butler. If they have done what Mr. Peeler says he "has evidence of," the public ought to know it. He has made the charge, and justice to all de mands that he give the facts. If his chargei are true, the People's party leaders are not to bo trusted. If they are not true, if he cannot prove beyond a doubt that they have received $50,000 and 4 sold the State to the Republi cans," then he stands convicted by his own testimoney. Mr. Peeler must prove this or stand disgraced before the bar of public opinion. Now is his chance. If he is successful he will he the biggest man in Cleveland county. Let everybody hold their breath until Peeler is heard from. The Progres srvE Farmer is always ready to expose fraud, and offera its columns to Mr. Peeler to publish his alleged evidence. If anybody, has sold North Carolina to any political party for $50,000 or any other sum, we want to publish the facts. "DISOBEYING ORDERS." The Atlanta Journal of the 12th had an editorial on the negro question, of which the following ia a part : 4The recent election in Florida and in this State demonstrated the fact that the colored vo .e in the South can no longer be depended on to obey the will of the Republican managers Thousands of negroes in Georgia voted the Democratic ticket in the face of positive orders from the Republicans for them to vote the Third party ticket, and in Alabama a large section of the Republican party, composed of the black voters principally, has refused to obey the ukase . from Washington to fuse with the People's party." This is more Democratic proof that the negroes have joined that party in many places. They will do it in North Carolina, unless all signs fail. Now that the negro is out of the way divided up about equally between the three leading parties everybody can safely vote for principle this year and hereafter. This is the best thing that has happened since 1776, when our people declared themselves free from British tyranny. Let it go on. MISSED THEIR MARK. The Virginia Sun give3 a glowing account of Gen. Weaver's speaking in Richmond. It says many converts were made. With a few exceptions the behaviour was good. The Sun tells the following about the egging: "There was only one little contre temps, and that was sufficiently amus ing. A couple of. eggs were thrown into the hall through an opeu window, and did the following execution : One grazed the head of a young man who went there uncommitted, and who now pays that 'hens forth' and forever he will cast his vote against a party whose strength is maintained by such dirty means. This egg expended its lorce in tne snirt-iront or an untortun ate policeman who was doing his duty like a man. The other egg struck a distinguished Judge on the head, and ricochetted among the reporters, gen erously ditributing its white and yel low among their papers and in their clothmg, which made them ejaculate, 'thank heaven, it's fresh.' This ovari- ous f ussilade missed the People's party altogether, but singled out the old par ties with unerring precision." SENATOR STEWART. The papers from the West bring glorious news about the growth of the People's party in the Northwest. There ia practically but one party there now that is the party of reform. The Al liance Independent has the follwing about Senator Stewart and the brave fight he is making on principle : "Senator Stewart, Republican, of Nevada, has been one of the bravest and ablest advocates of the free coin age of silver. Now he proves himself to be one of the men who will stand by principle rather than party when he is forced to choose. He is making speeches for Weaver. In a speech last week he said: "Harrison was an enemy to silver coinage and would, without question, veto the measure whenever Congress passed it.- This being his conviction regarding free coinage as the measure above all others his State and country need to restore their waning prosperity he would be false to principle, lalse to Jus country and false to his people if he did not urge, the Republicans of Ne- vada to repudiate Harrison and vote f for General Weaver. 1 STATE NEWS.
