THE IMMORTALITY THAT 18 NOW : . GBOBOK JOHN EOMAKI8. 'Tl s said that memory Is life, And that, thousjh deaa, mn ar alive : Keinqved from sorrow, care and strife They live because their works survive And some find.swaetneta ia the thought That immortality Is now ; That thsugb. our earthly parts are fcrouirht To reunite with all below; w The spirit and the life yet live In future lives of all their kind And, acting still In them, can giv4 N Eternal life to every mlndi, The web ef things on ere ry slde- Islolned by lines we may not see ; And great or narrow, small or wide What has been governs what shall be. No change In childhood's early day No storm that raged, no thought that ran. But leaves a trace upon the clay Which slowly hardens Into man ; And so. amid the race of men. And of the earth no denizen Shall be as though he hid not ben STATE DEMOCRATIC FORM; TLAT, The Democracy of North Carolina submit to the voters of the State the following declaration ef principles, yiz: Resolved 1, That we re-affirm the doctrines of the party as enunciated by th Chicago Convention; of 1892; and honestly desire to signify a3 follows wnat is the construction placed by us upon the section thereof relating to silver, viz: We hold that it is the duty of the law-making deportment of the govern, ment, now in the hands of the Democ racy, to take immediate steps to restore by legislation the equal ! privileges of silvef with gold at the mints, by the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and: siver at the ratio of 16 to 1, such being the ratio of coinage ! which here" tofore has held in the United States. Resolved 2, That we urge upon the said law-making department f the government the abolition of the uncon stitutional and prohibitive tax of 10 per ; cent, upon the issues of State banks. j Resolved 3, That, in view of the de pleted conditioR in which the late Re publican administration left the Treas ury of the United States Dreaentinc ' as it did, such a lamentable contrast to the overflowing ponditioni in which it was delivered by Mr. Cleveland's first administration , to its Republican suc cessorwe urge upon the said law making department, the immediate enactment of an income tax. Resolved 4, That we emphatically approve the tariff doctrine enunciated by the Chicago platform. Resolved 5, That while we are op posed to the slightest qualification, in favor of the Federal Government, of the repeal of the ten per cent, tax on State, bank issues, we nevertheless ad vocate as a matter of State policy such regulation and restriction of the issues of banks chartered by North Carolina as will secure a sound currency. Resolved 6, That we admire the courage and lofty patriotism of the President, and that we most heartily commend his prompt and effective ac tion under the law for the suppression of the efforts of alien anarchist's to dis turb, by force and violence, the true relations of labor and capital; his stur dy efforts to secure the enactment of tariff reform as called for in the party platform; his prompt approval of the bill repealing the Federal election law; the notable reduction of the expenses of government 'under his administra lion, and the freedom from scandal which has been'such a marked feature ot his return to the head of affairs. We point with pride to the record of the Democratic party in North Caroli na and endorse the ppesent State ad ministration. For eighteen years this party has had full control Of the State government. It has administered it with the greatest economy and at all times with an eye . single to the best interests of all the people. ComiDg into power at the end of a reign of de bauchery and crime, it addressed itself to the work of rehabilitation, and its record is one which Justly challenges public admiration.lt has rebuilt our pub lic school system; established asylumns for the care of unfortunates; adminis tered justice; promoted bur public worKs;iosterea every public enterprise, reduced taxation, and in all respects justified the confidence of those who have trusted it. It has afforded securi ty to life and property, protected both capital and labpr in its rights, and done all that government can do for a peo ple. No scandal has, attracted to its administration of public affairs. We congratulate our citizens Upon their well reposed trust in it; we congratu late them upon the friendly relations existing between the races; npon the prospects of bounteous crops and re turning prosperity. With the record before them we appeal to them for a vote of confidence this year in the Democratic party. Resolved, That we favor the aboli tion of the internal taxes on spirits and tobacco a9 soori as practicable; and if this cannot be done that the harsh and unjust features of the law for its collec tion be modified. Mr. Caldwell stated for himself that he dissented from the plank providing for the co'mage of silver and gold ia the ratio of 16 to 1. The following is the resolution which was adopted in regard to . Senator Vance: Whereas, Sinee the Democratic party of North Carolina last assembled in convention, death has claimed Hon. Zebulon B. Vance, the State's mo3t il lustrious citixen; it is by this Conven tion. Resolved, That appreciating his con spicious abilities and long and most honorable public service?, profound sorrow is expressed on account ot the calamity which has failen upon the State in the event referred to. We ad mire the, noble-life,. public and private, ef this erninqht citizen, and refer to it as the noblest example of North Caro lina manhood. , Col. P. B Means moved to consider the platform by sections. lie declared that this convention had before it the success of the Democracy in Noith Carolina. He declared that there were some parts of that platform which if adopted would disintegrate the Demo cratic party. k Capt. Coke moved that the resolution reported by the committee in honor of the memory of Senator Vance be adop ted by a rising vote, and this prevailed, every delegate rising in respectful Vlence to bis leer. Mr. E lias made a speech, declaring that the platform was not satifactory. It did not endorse either the National or State Democratic administrations lie said thTe were no principles enuncia ted. He moved that it be re referred and again formulated. Mr. Means then again urged his mo tion to consider the platform seriatim Mr. R. B. Glenn moved as a substi tute that the convention adopt unani mously the report of the committee on platform, and made a ringing speech in suDrort of bis motion. Mr. Means again spoke to his motion and offered three amendments, all ot which were defeated. Mr. Jona R. Webster then moved to adopt the re port of the committee as a whole. The motion to re-refer was firfct pat and was lost, and the platform wa3 then unanimously adopted. The following were the substitutes oflered by Col. Means: In section 1, substitute for all after the figures 18D2, the following: "That we are particularly interested in re storing the finances of this country te tne best possible condition tor the hap piness and welfare of the people. That the people are entitled to sound and honest money, abundantly sufficient in volume to supply the business needs of country; that whatever may be the form of the people's currency, Nations m ur owite, wnetner goiu, silver or pas per, it should be so regulated and guarded by government action or by wise and careful law3, that no one can be deluded as to the certainty and stability of its yaiue. Every dollar put into tne hands of the people should be 01 tne same intrinsic value or puicuas lng .power, and with these condition absolutely guaranteed, we demand the speedy enactment of laws for the use of both gold and silver upon equal terms in tne aujustment 01 our curren cy. ' For Resolution 4, substitute the fol lowing: That we especially assert our deyotion to the great cause of tariff re form, and heartily commend President Cleveland and the Democrats in the Senate and House of Representatives of the preseht Congress, who have so splendidly striyen in this behalf, for tneir patriotic enorts to redeem our party promises in this matter and se cure such legislation on this subject as win giye to the people 01 this republic the blessings and benefits of a tariff "limited to the necessities of the goy ernment when honestly and economi cally administered.'' And that we condemn, together with' Republican and Populist Senators, the action of Senators Gorman, Brie, Hill Smith, Caffrey and Blanchard on the btariff bill now pending in Congress, as party perhdy and party dishonor." For resolution 6, substitute the fols lowing: "That we have full faith in the great wisdom of President Cleve land, in his loyalty to th6 principles of our party, and we endorse his adminis tration for having carried out those principles as fully as it has been possi ble under the adverse circumstances confronting him. That while some of us do d ffer from him in some matters of policy, we are agreed in the belief that he is impelled in all his actions by motives of the highest patriotism and by an unselfish deyotion to the greats est good of the wholef people. And that we admire and approye his cour age and firmness In sustaining law and order and suppressing lawlessness and riot." 1 Mr. Murphy, of Buncome, Introduced the following resolution: Resolved, That this convention re commend that the several counties it the State hold a primary election , on the first Tuesday in November next under such rules and regulations as the State Democratic Committee may pre sence, ac wmca primary election tne democratic voters 01 the various counties may; express their pre ference for two representatives in the United States Senate, provided tnat sucn election shall not be held un less the Executive Committee of each county so direct. Mr. G. S. Bradshaw moved to lay the resolution on the table. The vote on this motion was taken by counties and resulted ayes 694, noes 218 so the reso lution was laid on the table. A vote of thanks was returned to Chairman Simmons and to the officers of the convention, and the convention then adjourned at 6:45 p. m. STATE PLATFORM OF THE PEO. PLE'S PARTY. Resolved 1st. That the People's pan. ty of North CaroHna in convention as sembled reaffirm the principles of the People's party, both State, and Nation, al, and especially the reforms herein set forth. 2. The free and. the unlimited coin age both silver ar d gold at the time honored ratios of 16 to 1. We des nounce the Democratic party for re pealing unconditionally the only law on our statute books authorizing the coinage of silver. We believe the res toration of silver to its proper place as money metal will not only open up our new idle mines, tend to create pros perity where depression and financial ruin, like grim spectres grope about, but will also increase our trade with Mexico, South American Republics. China, and other countries, giving us many advantages that we do not now enjoy. We denounce both the Republican and Democratic administration for re fusing to use silver dollars as well as gold dollars on the liqnidation of the National obligations and the redemo- t!on ot the greenbacks and silver cer- tificats, when the discretion to do so rested with the administration. 3. The abolition of national banks. and tne substitution of legal tender Treasury notes, to supplement the use of sold and silver money Issued in sufficient volume to do the business of the country on a cash system, regulats ing the amount needed on a per capita basis as the business interests of the country expand, and that all money issued by the government shall be legal tender In payment of all debts, both public and private. 4. We denounce both the Republi can and uemocratie parties for con trading the currency of the country while population and business increas- , and also for the further crime of issuing interest bearing bonds la time3 of peace, to be a perpetual debt upon every productive industry to pay the interest thereon. We favor the issuing of more money ta we a new impetus to every honest industry, instead of issuing interest bearing bonds, which not only makes money scareer, stag nates trade and paralyzes every indus trial eaterprisei but which also length ens the greedy fingers of the heartless Shj locks so that they can re&ch into the pockets of the next generation and ob them ot their Wealth as soon as earned. We denounce a policy which fos t-rs no industry so much as it does that of the mortgage and sberiffv 5. We denounce the McKinley tariff bill and the pending Democratic tariff bill as unjust to the consumers of the country, and leading to the formation of trusU, combines and1' monopolies wnicu nave oppressed the people, ana especially de we denounce the unnesa ry and burdensome increase in the tax on sugar and other necessaries of life, so largely used by the poorer portion 01 our people, while the taxea have been loweiej some of the luxuries of the rich, which should bear the heaviest burden. We especially denounce the pending tariff bill as a cowardly makeshift for tariff reform. . It not only substitutes Democratic protection for Republican protection on certain manufactured ar tides, but also strives to discriminate against the producers of wealth by put ting the raw materials which their labor produces upon the tree - list while It forces them and every citizen to pay a high tax on the manufactured article. The revenues of the government can Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Goy't Report 1 V j&g3B ABSQlLfiTELY FURS andshouldbe raised without sueh un just and increased discrimination. 6. We favor a graduated tax on in comes that Will tax all incomes, private or corporate, 01 3,u'W oie per cent. and oa all larger incomes a proportion ate increase- so that the wealthy will bear their share of the expenses of the government in proportion ta their ability to pay. If such a law was in force, and properly executed, we be lieve, that sufficient revenue would be raised from that source to enable us to reduce the burdens on those in moder ate circumstances, now so heavily tax ed, at least one half. 7. We favor the enactment of such laws by Congress as shall effectually prevent tne agricultural dealing in futures of all and mechanical eroduc - tions. ' We do not believe that the bill now pending before congress is suffi cient to remedy the evil. 8. That when the State and Na uuu&i uiauorms come in connict our Representative In Congress shall be bound by the State platform. t$ 9. mil we are unaiteraDiy opposea to the permlscuous emigration of for eigners into this country and favor stringent national legislation to scruti nize, regulate and control the same so as to exclude from our shores the vicious, corrupt and degraded class of emigrants. 10. we are "In favor of electing United States Senators by a direct yote of the people. 11. We deplore the existence of con ditions which fill a land of "overpros duction" with enforced idleness, destls tution, ahd lawlessness. These are the legitimate fruits of Republican and Democratic maladministration, betray al of popular confidence, and perver sion of the people's goyernment to the use and advantage of a destructiye mon ey trust and to other monopolies. We sympathize with the oppressed everyi where; but we are opposed to all laws less combinations of men, whether rep resenting capital or labor. We believe in peace and strict obedience to law. We are opposed to sttikes as tending to infractions of the law, as wrong in principle, ana condemn them as we do the unlawful and unprosecuted combl nations of capital against which , they contend. We urge upon labor the wise use ot the ballot as the only peace able solution of the grave conditions that confronts our social progress, con djtions which cannot be converted into social peace except on the basis of social rifrht.fionsnpsa 12. For thirty years riotous living debauchery and shameless disregard) lor the rights of the people has been the .rule rather than the ception at Washington. The present administra tion, the present Senate and Congress, seem to be composed largely ot men who are outstripping their predeces sors. Some of them are old-timers and their new associates have caught the infection. The money power, whiskey, sugar, and other monopolies are repre sented in the cabinet and in both Houses of Congress. At present we have a government of, for and by trusts and monopolies. In striking contrast to the above we point with pride to the clean records made by our little band of People's party Senators and Con gressmen. Always at the post of duty, never arrested to make a quorum, un selfish, fearless, incorruptible, like true Spartans they have stood by their pledges to a man. With this record ia our favor we assert that "honesty in politics is not an iridescent dream," and can invite all who earnestly desire good goyernment to leave their monopoly-ridden parties and help as to fill our National Legislative balls with honest statesmen. 13. We favor the running of the public schools of our State at least f jur months in each year as. required by our Constitution for both races, in order that the blessings of education may be extended to all the people of our State alike. ' U. We cendemn the Democratic administration of North Carolina for its failure to execute the anti-trust laws now on our statute books, also for the failure to prosecute the officers of broken banks t trough whose crimi nal carelessness and dishonesty, large amounts of both public and private funds have been lost and 'our citizens. widows and orphans have been made to suffer. J ' I 15. We favor the establishment of a State institution for the reformation of young criminals. ; 16. We condemn the last General Assembly of the State for its lavish and reckless waste of the people a money, and for its failure to collect the back taxes due and collectable from certain railroad corporations in the State, and especially for its cowardly, unfair and unjust attack upon the Charter 01 tne State Alliance, in shameless baste and for failing to give notice of said attaek to the parties concerned. 17. We condemn the election meth ods resorted to ia certain counties and pneincts of other counties in the elec tion of 1892, concocted and executed by the democratic machine of the State, by which thousands of citizens who nave voted for years under -the same registration were deprived ef their suffrage, by which ballots of the Peo ple's . party, after eing delivered to poll holders; to be properly deposited were destroyed la bull pens" and other dark hole voting places, and bat- lots for th Democratic party were sub stituted; by which false returns were made; by which county canvassing boards with "autocratic power, threw out many townships which gave ma jorities tor the People's party, to Buen an extent a to put in power a minority party. Such a patty is nnfl( to govern. Such a party is an irresponsible despo tism bottomed on fraud, and all good citizens should str.ve to defeat and crush it.' We favor such changes in our present election law and election machinery as will take from the pirtv in power the absolute eontrol of the suffrages of all of our people. We condemn the Democratic party tor abusing this high and sacred trust by perverting the will of the . people and polluting tb.3 springs of our liberty for aordiu and selfish gain, and to tnat en a, striving to make political bench men under the county government system of such important officers as county commissioner, and Justices of the peace, who should respect the wishes of the people and be as pare in charac ter and as non-Dmrtlaan la action as any officer clothed in ja?icial ermine Threlore, , Resolved. That every man, white or buck, mu3t have free access to the ballot box. His vote must be received. muse dc ouoxeu, correct returns must be made and the ma who has the ma Jority, If it Is only one vote,' must be Inducted into office and exercise its lunctions, or thl government cannot endure. 18. Upon thU statement of prlnci pies and policies the People's party asi&s ine intelligent juugement 01 the people of North Carolina. It asks change of administration and a chancre m . . . . . . ot party, in oruer tnat tnere may . be change of system and a change of methods; thus giving life to every drooping : business, thus assuring that every man snau DrosDer acnorrt ntr t.n 1 his labor and his merits, and thus 1 guaranteed thateverv man RhaU hs vqu&i 1 iguui auu protection unuer just ana righteous laws. RESOLUTIONS. Whereas, The People's party regrets the, recent death of Senator Zebulon B. Vance, in which the State lost one of her truest sons, and inasmuch as our State has never recognized, in a fitting .t. ,l:i.t i . j . .... , Luauuci tuo uisuuguisuea aouity and patriotic services of any of her sons, and with a view to making a beginning, therefore Resolved, That we favor and request our people to co-operate with the other friends of late Senator Vance, to raise a sufficient fund to build a suitable monument to hia memory. Whereas, On account of the weak ness of human nature even the best and purest men when elevated to office by ene political party are liable to be biased and often even unconsciously in xavor 01 saia party, ana Whereas, The People's party believes tnat tne nest interests of the State can be served by lifting the iudiHal ermine above the contaminating influences-of partisan politics, therefore Resolved, That it shall alwavs be cardinal principle of our. party law to select anti-cast our votes for the broad est, purest and best qualified for the high and important office of Judgeship iriespeciive 01 party amuations.

Such men as C. B. Green, E. J. I'arish, w. w. Fuller, R. B. Boone, trans uuer, on. a. Anrier. James A Robinson' and othnr's faces beamed with Democratic j y and the erasD of their hands convinced you at once that their hearts were truiy devoted to the work. Wa met a good old I irmer bv the name of Robinson, who has been farm tag for 50 years, who said: "Why this is bound to be a Democratic year; I have farmed for 50 years, and never had a better crop in my life; . It will not be necessary for me to strike a lick of work for 2 years unless I veant to. I have just completed tw6 splendid curing barns, and I have named one of them Cleveland and the other one Stevensoa, which are f all jot some of as good tobacco as you can find any where." i THE CONVENTION. The Congressional Convention as sembled at 2:30, and was, taking ii al together, one of the most intelligent and refined political bodies ' we ever 1 .oked upon. Among them was some of the wheel horses of the Fifth Dis trict, ready to stand in front of the enemy and battle for white supremacy and the perpetuation of Democratic inciples. . Mr. J. A.

Just as the Executive Committee was completed the committee came in ith G us Graham and escorted him to the stand amid enthusiastic cheers. Ho was introduced to the convo.ntinn . Col. Webster, i J Mr. Graham never look1 hotior a.i friends happier than when he faced chat Tly of true blue Democrat. n thanked the convention in the warmet manner ior the honor conferrd nnnn aim, and said he had sought the nomU nation and was proud to say that hn highly appreciated the confidence and sjood will the good people of the 5th District had placed in him and th should never be deceived. He snok.. enthusiastically of the coming cam paign and said he intended to carry the standard of Democracy to victnrw and . would not cease work from nn until the sun went down on the 7th of November. He said he would be found in, the front rank of the battle, but must be aided by every true Democrat ic worker of the District. Let work ana tnorough organization be our watchword in the campaign, lie said he had no abuse to heap upon any member of the Third party as he had many warm friends in that party who were honest in their views and entitled to respect! He said ho was a frieud of all'the people, and if elected would be truly their faithful servant. In d'mcushing the issues he said he stood squarely on the State Democrat ic.platform of 1S90, and also that of the National as enuciatcd at Chicago; as construed by the. people of the South und not of the North. He was in favor of free silver, income tax, tariff reform, etc., and closed hU speech by agaiii thanklng the convension for the honor conferred upon him. Col. John R. Webster, of the Reids ville Weeki, was called for and he ascended the platform and made a most enthusiastic speech. Said ho would not allow any man In the district to do more for Graham than he. Not only would he use his pen but would make speeches during the campaign In his behalf. During his ipeech he was greeted with applause, and when I e stepped off of the platform to take his seat the boys roared at the top of their voices "hurrah for Webster." It was fully demonstrated that the Democratic I party in the 5th District was working in great harmony, and would present a united column on the march against Republicanism, and the hash of Tommio Settle who has not been in his seat all told over 40 days during the lonr session, would un doubtedly be settled on the 7th day of November next. He did remain in his seat long enough to vote against the Interest of the people of this district, breaking promises which he had made to bis friends of the Third party, and stuck to the old Republican ship. THE TENNESSEE ELECTIONS. Memphis, Tesn. Official returns of the election for this county show the Democratic ticket to have gone through complete by majorities raog lng from 'JI7 to 4,720. The average falls about 1,200 short of the majorities secured in the presidential election of 1592. In the other counties of west Tennessee,1 nearly, all ot which have been heard from, the Democrats have fully held their own. In some coun ties the fnsionists have elected their county ticket while the Democratic nominees for the Supreme bench have received largo majorities. This is the case in O'Brien county, where the Democrat 'Supreme Court gets a mas ortty of 600. This indicates that the Populists have sacrificed the Republls can Supreme Court nominees in order to get in the Populists' candidates for cal offices. In Maury county, middle Tennessee, including the city of Co- imbia, the Democrats have a gain of 1,300, which onsets the loss in Shelby.
