Those who shriek that the unconditional

adiation of all other platform pledges,
are prejudging their betters.
"Unworthy, unfaithful, untruthful
and dishonest," Mr. Cleveland would
prove himself to be if he did not rec
ommend the redemption of the plat
form pledges. Those who were
afraid to trust him, Vance among the
number, were "prejudging their bet
ters,"
In the course of a ringing editorial
Nov. nth, 1893, after the Sherman
kct had been repealed, the Observer
said :
The Democratic party has a right
to expect of Mr. Cleveland that he
pronounce in favor of a further coinage
of sliver. It was proper to have stop
ped the purchase of silver bullion for
t orage ; right on every account to have
done so ; but the repeal of the purchase
clause of the Sherman act la but a clear
tag of the decks.
Mark well, not a matter of defer
ence or of courtesy, but of right. The
party had a right to expect of Mr.
Cleveland that he declare for the re-'
demption of tbe pledges of the plat
forn. ;
Mr. Cleveland did not recommend
the fulfilment of tbe other pledges of
the platform, but vetoed the Bland
seigniorage bill, which was but a step
in that direction.. So he falls under
the Observer's condemnation of hav
ing procured his election by duplici-

sue of the Charlotte Observer sug
festive :
Hie Winston Journal prints a part of
he recent letter of ex-President Cleve-
id to the National Democrats of
ivmifvlvania, in which he urges the
f lends of sound money to "effective or

insistent in the advocacy of the free

isi nominated for tbe presidency and
has nil along contended for such. The

in 1892 that he was opposed to the free

qH matter. No one would satify the
convention but the mam from Buffalo
nd so he was for the third tjme made
the stanaara nearer ana toe people car-
i led iiitn to a magnificent victory."
Adding that Cleveland Is hardly any
luuger a force in politics, and that there
no man who is so unpopular with those
.-iio elected him twice to high otace, tne
'n rimi concludes that "after all the old
man did not deceive tbe members of the
Democratic party as much as they de
cetved themselves."
1 hut is a simple fact, known of all
men, and it doesn't cost a cent more to
tell the truth about it. The talk about
k'velatul haying "betrayed" any party
or anybody is tommy rot and idioey. All
the world knew his position en every
public question when he was nominated
acid elected, and the people who voted
lor nun then, but don't agree with him
now, may kick themselves, but they
have no right to kick him
Since it costs nothing to tell the
truth, we say let it be told, and so we
offer as a witness in the case of the
Democratic party vs. Cleveland, the
able and esteemed Charlotte Observe

which this might be accomplished were
indicated : international agreement and

Did Mr, Cleveland accept the plat
form ? and was he bound by it ? The
Observer said in the same editorial
from which the above extract is ta
ken ;

Two days later the Observer cop
ted m its editorial columns an ex
tract from a letter written by Senater
Gordon, ol Georgia, to one of his
Constituents in which he said of his
speech on the repeal of the Sherman
law
By reference to that speech you will
see that from end te en It Is an argu
ment for silver and on tbe line of every
uttterance and act and vote of mine far
twenty years. So that to say that the
repeal 01 tne Sherman law means an

the Senators and Representatives who
have thus spoken, are unworthy of trust.
unfaithful to pledges, platform and peo
pie, tnat tney are untruthful men, dis
honest and dishonorable.
"Will we be able to get abetter law?
Of course we will.
And the Observer's comment was
We suppose none of those who are ao
qaainted with the character and record
of Senator Gordon doubt either bis in
telligence or his sincerity. We set forth,
the other day, as strongly as we knew
now, tnat to question that the Demo
cratic party and the President would,
after the repeal of the Sherman act, fall
to enaet such further financial legisla
tion as their best wisdom and patriotism
suggested, was to suppose that they are
unworthy, unfaithful, untruthful and
dishonest. Senator Gordon don't think
they are. Nor should anyone else
But we have other evidence of his
duplicity. He told Chairman Sim
mons, of this S'ate, during the cam
paign of 192 that his difference with
the North Carolina Democracy was
merely over details ; that if tbe
weight el the silver dollar was in
creased a little, too many could not
be coined to suit him. Ke also
wrote Mr. R. B. Glean, one of bis
electors, to the same effect, that be
favored free coinage upon an in
creased ratio. That Mr. Glenn used
said letter in his canvass of the State
nq one will deny. The following
from the Statesville Landmark's re
port of the joint discussion between
Henderson and Shuford, the Con
gressional candidates, at Statesville,
Oct. th, 1 894, disposes of all ques
tion as to Mr. Glean having received
such a letter from Mr, Cleveland :
Coming to tbe question of silver be
said that he Shuford J had been told that
Mr. Glenn, a Cleveland elector, had in
the last campaign professed to have a
letter from Mr. Cleveland In which the
latter said he favored free coinage.
Since then, however, be (Shaford) had
seen lc puDlisbed in the papers that Mr.
Glenn had no such letter. ' Do you say
I have no such letter ?" asked Mr. Glean.
who was present. "I have read it in
the papers," answered Shuford eva
sively. "I want to say to you right
here and now," said Mr. Glena, "that 1
did write to Mr. Cleveland, I did receive
a letter from Mr. Cleveland, and any
MAN OR BET OF MEN WHO SAYS I RE
CEIVED NO SUCH LETTER ARB) INFER
NAL liars." When the applause
caused by Mr! Glenn's remarkwhich
was long and loud bad subsided, Shu
ford continued his speech without furth
er reference to the Glenn letter.
We have tried to call the Observer's
attention to Mr. Glenn's emphatic
statement time and again, but some
how it manages not to see it, though
before Mr. Glenn made it, the Obser
ver made light of our assertion that
he had such a letter. Will not some
friend of the Observer calls its atten
tion to this matter so that it can get
history straight r
Js it the intention ol the Ob&ver
to put the brand of falsehood onj the
brows of Messrs. Simmons and Glenn?
Speak out. No shuffling or dodg
ing, please, A simple categorical
answer, yes or no.
But we could call other witnesses
on the point that Cleveland played
double. Senator Voorhees, of Indi
ana, said ia opening the debate on
the bill repealing the Sherman law in
1893 that he was willing to stake bis
political future upon Mr. Cleveland's
and Secretary Carlisle's devotion to
bimetallism. Ratio, he said, had
been in all ages a matter of legal ad
justment, but these men were com
mitted to free coinage ; Cleveland
endorsed the platform and was net a
dissembler. Senator Voorhees staked
evsrylhing upon Cleveland's sincer
ity and lost, as did a'so Senator
Ransom, of this State
Mr. Cleveland was supported for
the nomination by Senator Vest, of
Missouri, upon the assurance ; wri
tins that he had been converted to
bimetallism and had seen the error of
ihe policy that controlled his first
administration.
The campaign in North Carolina
was waged upon the assurance that
he was pledged to the platform

More is involved in keeping this
matter straight than appears on the
surface. The point needs to be em
phasized that the Charlotte Observer,
while stickling for party, regularity
and insisting that the Democratic
party shall form no alliances with a
kindred organization, is holding up a
traitor and Mugwump as a pattern
for Democrats to be guided by. That
Cleveland is such, we have the Ob
server s test of March 5th, 1896 ;
Loyalty to the platform of tbe nation
al Democratic convention is the su
preme test of party fealty. If thit test
is not recognized, what is the use ef
party organization? How can a party
hope to accomplish results? A man
who denies the validity of this supreme
test Is a political Quaker, a mugwump,
an Utlender. He cannot wear a party
uniform and drill In the tanks. And a
bolter Is worse still a traitor.
Cleveland not only repudiated the
platform upe-n which he was elected,
but bolted Hill's. nomination for Gov
ernor of New York, and bolted the
platform and candidates of the na
tional Democratic party in 1806. Yet

"Beware of the leaven of the phar-
iees." Only a few days ago the
Charlotte Observer defended Mcs
Kinley in the same breath with

they were two of a kind and sympa

duction. To show how badly the Ob
server has let its sj mpati.y for Cleve
land nd its prejudice against Popu
lists and free- silver I emocra's drive
it away trom its old faith, we will
quote what it said of McKinley in its
issue of Augtst 14, 1896; '
The next thing ta national politics to
be looked for Is Mr. McKlnlev' letter
of acceptance, and reallv not much in
terest attaches to that. Ir, will b what
ever bis owners direct that It shall be,
and everybody knows about what they
will direct. An I this f the trouble with
McKinley. He n Dot hW own
man. Me Is oound, nana aud
foot. He is a mortgaged man
mortgaged to every trust and to very
protected interegt in the conutrj He
has buPu so 1 v-r sii.ee he broke, and the
monopolists pa'd his debts and et tiiiu
on his foet. He has no axed opinion
about anything except the tar ff and his
policv as to that is directly opposed to
public interest. Be has been a wb frlir
on tne curiencv question for years, aud
that he is uo a -ouud money man is
due to circumstances ard not to his own
convictions. H has no backbone ar d t?
Presldeut he would be in-tbe bauds of
those who are running him as clay is in
the bands of the potter. No matter how
amiable Ins personal qnn'itie?, such a
man is not Ht to be at the head ef the
government. His letter of acceptance
ill reflect the opinions and wishes of
his owners, aud it by any bad chance he
should be elected President his adoiiuis
tratiou would b not his but thtir. Ic
would be a violc t ching, indeed, from
Clevelard with his great i- dividuality to
McKinley with no lnd.vidoaiity at all,
but a mere puupet in the hands of other
and stronger men to whom he 's already
under obligation and whn, if tie Is elect
ed, wiil have bough' the election to;
him.
Have not subsequent events piov
en the Observer's diagnosis of Mc
Kinley s trouble all too true ? Yet
when a Populist Senator c Purges
the same thing the Obseiver flies off
the handle and says he ought to be
ashamed of himself and Democrats
should beware of such a slanderer.
The moral of all this is that when
one lets his feelings control his
course, there is no telling where he
will drift. The same thing is true of
parties. If the DemociattC party of
North Carolina lets its feelings be
cloud its judgment and puts revenge
above white supremacy and the
white metal, it will help Butler more
than it hurts him. An angry man
does not weih and consider. He
rushes in headlong and repents of
his folly at leisure.
If "any plan" that will insure the
defeat of silver is justifiable from
ths gold bug standpoint should not
those who conscientiously believe in
Bryan and all that he represents fight
tbe devil with fire and put a check
on McKinley this year and crush
him two years hence ? But here
comes Senator Butler and says tbe
same thing of McKinley the Obser
ver said, and says furtf a if we
cannot kill the tiger let's draw his
claws and teeth this year and con
plete the job in 1900, but the Obser
ver goes into a fit and says McKinn
ley is a pure man and Butler ought
to be pilloried for slander, for inti
mating he is controlled by trusts.
But this case is no worse thau the
Observer's , denunciation of the
Weekly for accepting its own test of
party tealty and respectfully asking it
to take its own medicine.
And this is the policy North Garc
Una Democrats are asked to adopt
when the Bryan Populists march up
in iheir organized capacity with
fixed bayonets and flying banneis
to help us elect a free silver delega
tion and guarautee white supremacy,
we must say no ; it is a crime for an
other parly to accept our arguments
and praise our leader, Mr. Bryan.
What say thinking men of th?s poli
cy ? Is it not about as foolish as it
would have been for Wellington to
have told Blucher at Waterloo that
it the uermans were not ready to
put oa the English uniform he did
cot want the co-operation of bis
forces ? (
It is not pleasant to differ with
tne uoserver, tor whose editor we
have always entertained the highest
personal regard ,- but this is a critical
tii:.e in the party's history and it
needs to look at things in the cold
light of reason and experience and
not in the red glare ot passion. We
believe the Observer, however good
its intentions may be, is confirming
the gold Democrats in their factious
opposition and creating distrust in
the minds of tbe Populists and ma
king it impossible to wis them back
as individuals. It ia but a short
step from Clevelaodism to McKio
leyism, and though the Observer
may not mean to take it, it's defense
of McKinley and Cleveland in the
same brea'h, after having coolly
characterized tbe former as a tool
and puppet of trusts, with no will of
his own, verifies the philosophy ot

McKinley is said to be determin

To tbe Democratic Voters of North
Carolina:
Pursuant to a resolution of the
State Executive Comitte adopted
&t its meeting held February 22d, 1
hereby give notice that the Demo
crtic State convention will be held
in the city of Raleieh at 12 o'clock
noon, on Thursday. May 26, 1898
The convention will consider tne
nomination of th Judges for the
several districts wherein the term of
the present incumbent expires Jan. 1,
1899; will announce the principles
and policy of the party, and take
such actions, it may see proper.
Judicial conventions should be held
prior to the date fixed for the State
convention in the following districts:
First, Second, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh
and Eleventh.
Tbe following res dution amending
the plan of organization was adopted
at the meeting of the committee in
December, 1897: . :-.rfeGfe I
Kosolved, That all white electors
who intend to vote with us in the
next election, and who desire the
re-establishment of Anglo-Saxon su
Sremacy and honest government in
forth Carolina are cordially invited
to participate in all our primaries and
conventions. "
In the adoption of such a resolu
tion the Democratic party expresses
no unkind feeling for the colored
people of Nor;h Carolina. The record
of Charity and kindness, public and
private, of the white people of this
State to the colored race while the
Democratic party was in full power,
refutes such a suggestion. But the
negro voter, with rare exception,
cannot be considered one, whom the
great principles of government, the
wisdom of econonrc policy or the
qualifications of public servants in
their responsible offices, guide or
control in their choice of a ballot. His
allegiance to the Republican party or
it allies cannot ba disturbed by tbe
corrupt and disgraceful conduct of
those for whom he votes. Thus in
this day, when the State is fast seek
iug dishonor and shame under the
hands of a fusion administration,
which regards neither the rights ol
persons or propeity. nor the good
name ani honor of the State, this
call to duty is addressed to the white
men of North Carolina.
In national mutters no more vital
principle can effect the people and
their welfare than those which uuirk
the present line of . conflict where
the plain people of the country have
thrown down the gage of bittle to
the money power and trusts. The
ii'creaoing control of t he necessaries
of lif by the few in open violation
of the law, and the enhancement of
the purchasing power of money, with
the ever decreasing value of property,
mark the exigency of the hour.
Of the affairs in our beloved State
no words should be needed to awaken
the patriotism of h?r sons. A politi
cal campaign is iust ahead of us in
which the wager of the contest is the
good name and pro-wen tv of North
Carolina. We should begin work by
prescribing no test oath to our fellow
citizens, but extending a warm wel
come and full fellowship to all who
want to join us in securing iust laws
and good government. A.11 early
convention is fixd, where differen
ces if, any exist, will be adjusted, and
the plan of fight mapped out, anc
then a united Democracy will
triumph.
I respect fvlly suggest that the
county conventions should be held as
soon as convenient for tne election of
delegates The nomination of conn
ty officers am members of the gen
eral assembly miy be postponed tine
til later, as each county convention
may think advisable.
Respectfully,

Fairbrothei's farrago
The above side view of the Keoley
nstitute is loaned us by Col rn 1
John Webster, of the Weekly, at
Reidsville. The picture does not uo
justice to the subject, yet it gives an
idea of the beautiful builditig. In a
etter concerning Keeley, and the
work it ha don1, a writer in the
Greensboro K-col d of last week says:
"At that time Colonel W. II O
born was at the kerl y Institute, in
Dwight, 111., under treatment La
ter, he came home happy in his re3
toration to true manhood, and re
solved to giVe the benefit of bis ex
perience to his fellow man. Those
who personally know Colonel 0-
born ned not be tnld with what ear
nestness he threw himself into this
work. He raised a company and
bought the right to give the Keeley
treatment in Jsorth Carolina. At
that time public sentiment was
against the remedy. The medical
profession as a general thit-;g con
demned it as a fake. One physician
in Greensboro sad: 'I clout know
what the remedy is, but I never taw
or heard of any treatment that would
out a man on his feet in our we ks.
Colonel Osborn said: 'I have tried it
and 1 know what it will do.' Ha
started in with enthusiasm, confi
dence and correct business methods:
and up to I his time more than 2,000
patients have been treated at the
Greensboro Keeley Institute. In the
county of Guilford there are over 40
men who took the treatment on an
iverage of five years ago, and have
never thought of returning to their
old habit of drinking.
Uraduates of the Institute are
bringing in their friend, and the in
fluence is spreading rapidly. Incre
dulity has given place to confidence
and 1 hauk fulness to God that there
is a place where unfortunate inebrix
ates and persons addicted to the use
of o o ious drugs can be fully cured
ot their destructive habits and fully
restored to their families and friends
Colonel Osborn is deyotnisr all his
line, his fine talents and his life, to
this work. His whole heart is in it.
His full sympathy is with the Pilfer
