SHUFORD, of Buncombe , To the North Carolina delegates to the National Democratic Conven tion is accorded the honor of naming the second man on the ticket Adali E. Stevenson of North Carolina pa rentage for Vice-President, Last week was a dull one in the House, owing to the absence of a $ quorum. On Saturday the Speaker authorized the Sergent-at-Arms to telegraph the absentees to be present on Monday.. Work is being pushed now preparatory to adjournment. .. If tho most intelligent men of the country met at the Chicago Conven tion and after reasoning together found that Cleveland was the man to lead the National Democratic ticket, don't let us put our opinion against tho convention . which represented every section of the United States. Let the people accept him and by their votes elect him. - - - ' - In our last issue we referred to the lion. David Alexander, of Tyrrell, jn which we said that he was entitl ed to the nomination for State Sena tor, perhaps it would have been more proper for us to have said that Mr. Alexander was a man worthy of the ; nomination. , In this wo do not wish to be understood as endorsing Mr. Alexander, for our first endorsement must be for the present incumbent, ourcounty-mau, Hon. W. II Chesson who is entitled to and who . will rc ccivo the nomination, unless he refuses to accept tho nomination... In casa Mr, Chesson withdraws we will thru be free to endorse Mr. Alexan der or any other good Democrat, but long as Mr. Chesson is in tho I the Beacon will support him, I. ;;.sc he is a man that believes in .. . . L gou nimcnr, because his char- .-. :.j ivn', bec;ir.se he is true to t1...- ! ii.clj ! . i of L':iocntcy. ". V.- ,y wr .:.- stn;: fer Cliosson, ' x .... - i i,. but admire and feel that tho Demo cratic party is under some obligation to such men as we believe Hon. D. Alexander to be. Vie may be mis taken in his ability, we may.be mis taken in hia loyalty to the Democratic party, yet the course ho has taken sinco the birth of the Third party has impressed us deeply. . The signs of the times before the great convention at Chicago, when Stato after Stale endorsed for Cleve land, foreshadowed clearly his nom ination. That convention showed that he had widespread power over the minds or affections of the people, for "his nomination ' was compelled by the popular element of the coun try, against strong combined politi cal opposition. Every one, no mat ter what his personal preference may have been, has reason to be glad that our candidate represents honest, strong principles, which stand four square with the platform lately de clared to be our political constitution. Without saying anything as to other candidates, who have their advanta ges which the country will cull for when needed, this . can be said for Mr. Cleveland, that his honesty of purpose, his preference for being right rather thnn being President has given him a position in the esti mation of the people, held by no other American of his time. He did nothing to obtain the nomination, but rather many things which seemed certain in the eyes of the mere politician to deprive him of all chance of receiving it. He has been a private citizen for four years, going into private life after a defeat which he brought up on iiimself by his own deliberate act. Then in his retirement his utteran ces on silver, a burning question of the day, seemed to place him in square opposition to an overwhelm ing majority of the party. Yet be- cause he was honest and couaigeous in both utterances, which appeared liable to crush him forever, he has accomplished tho feat of gaining the full confidence of the people, and converting many to his way of think ,g. There must bo a great body of people behind the delegates to the convention. As the delegates voted so will the people vote in November. His political opponents will discover as the campaign advances, that this popular support, which compelled his nomination, will surely elect him. He is not a candidate who can be defeated by scares, for nothing his opponents can say oan shake the people's confidence in his resolute honesty. His candidacy is a honor to his party and to'American politics. The following appeared us the leading editorial in the New York Sun June 24th : - There is one question on the election of the next President which in its momentous importance apd vital imperativeness must seem to every philosophic observer to , ex ceed every other political question that the people are now called upon to determine. All differences of opinion respecting admin istrative reform, or (silver coinage, or free trade or protection, or the persoual qualities or antecedents of candidates, in short, the whole ordinary array ol'electoral controver sies, are, iu comparison, of inferior, indeed of almost trival moment. We mean tho question whether those Southern States which have inherited a negro population surpassing the number of tueir white citizens, shall, by reaerai law and Federal military force, be subjected to the political domination of the negroes, to negro Legislatures, negro Governor, and negro Judges in their ' courts, or whethtr they bouU continue to be governed by white men as now. Now, it makes no difference who may be the President whom the' Republican party elects since Mr. Blaine is now permanent ly out of the line of power that is party by its nature aud traditions nnder the necessity of enaclitsg and executing an election law whose purpose aud effect will be to put the negroes in control of several of the South ern (States. There will be noma unwilling ness on the part of a patriotic minority among the linablicaus who will revolt at the conseouencea of such a measure, but their opposition cannot avail. The necessity of the hiuiation will suppress all such resist ance. A Force bt'l is the first. and the inevitable re.ult of a sweeping Republican victory iu November. On the other hand, and by the nature and necessity of the ideas involved, the (success of the Democracy is dettu to iho Force bill prrject. Killed in this election, it can never be revived. In this view of the contest what conscien tious Democrat can herniate about hia da'y? Better vote for tho liberty aul the white government of lhe r-eulhcru States, even if the candidate were the Devil himself, rather than cousent to the election of rcupeciable Ubnjmin Harrison with a Force bill iu bis pocket! -,. r.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. The following is the Stato Demo 'cratic platform as adopted by the State convention assembled May IS: Resolved, 1, That the democracy of North Carolina reaffirm the principles of the democratic party, both tstata and natio nal, and particularly favor the free coinage of silver and au increase of the currency, and the repeal of the internal revenue Fystem. Aud we denounce the McKinley tariff bill as unjust to the consumers of the country, and leading to the formation of trusts, combine and monopolies which have oppressed the people ; and especially do we denounce the un necessary nud bur densome increase in the tax On cotton ties and on tin, so , largely used by the poorer portion of the people. We likewise de nounce the iuequitons force bill, which is not yet abandoned by th-j republican party, but is being urged as a measure to be adopted as toon as they regain control of the House of Representative", lhe purpose and effect cf which measure will be to es tablish a second period of reconstruction In the Southern States, to subvert the liberties of our people aud inflame a new race an. tiigouium aud sec! ioual animosities. 2. That we demand financial reform, and the enactment of laws that will remove the burdeu of tho people relative to the existing agricultural depression, and do full and ample justice to tho farmers and laborers of our c ountry. ;3. luat we demand the abolition ol national banks, and the substitution of legal tender treasury notes in lien of national bank not-s, issued in sufficient volume to do the business of the country on a Cish system, regulating 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 bo legal tender in payment of all debts, both public and private. 4. That we demafid that Congress shall pass such laws us thall tiftctually prevent the dealing in futures of all agricultural and mechanical productions; providing such stringent system of procedure in trials as shall secure prompt convictiou aud im posing such penalties as shail secure most perfect compliance with the law. 5. That wo demand the frte and unlimi ted coinage of silver. C. That we demand the passage of laws prohibiting the aiien ownership of hind, and that Congress take early steps to devise iome plen to obtaiu all lands now owned by alien aud foreign syndicates ; and that all lands now held by railroads and other corporations, in oxcess of such as is actu ally used and needed by ihem. be reclaimed by the government and held for actual settlers only, 7. Believing in tho doctrine of "equal rights to all aud special privileges to none," we demand tnat taxation, national or State, shall not be us6J to build up one interest or class at the expense of another. We believe that th money of the country should be kept as much an possible in the hands of the p.ople. nud heOCe u demand that all revenue, national. State or county, shall be limited to the necessary expenses of the government economically aud hou cstly administered. 8 That Cougifss issue a sufficient Bmount of fractional .paper currency to facilitate the exchange tnrongh lhe medium of the United tfiates mail. Resolved, That the General Assembly pass such laws as will niak the public i-chool system more effective that the bles hings ot education may bo extended to all the people of tho Statu alike. lhat we demand a graduated tax on in comes.
