- JUDGE GRESH AM'S
POSITION.
LABORING MEN AND OLD
SOLDIERS WILL FOLLOW
HIM STILL.
Indianapolis, Oct. 2. The pub
lie announcement that Judge Ores
ham would vote for Grover Cleveland
created a sensation ia this city today.
The rank and file of the Republican
party believed that Greshara would
remain' loyal to the cause of that
party. The leaders, however, ; have
known for a long time that the moat
they could expect from him was
silence.
Those who enjoy the Judge's con
fidence are not surprised at his ac
tion. To them he has freely expres
sed his disapproval of the economic
policy of the Republican Party. He
has always believed in a revenue
tariff dnfy. Two weeks ago, in con
versation with an Indianapolis friend
the Judge took a pesimistic view of
the outlook for tuo farmers and
workmen, in the event of the indorse
ment of the McEinley tariff at the
polls next month. He believes that
four vears more cf McKinlevism
would place the country completely
under the control of the 'plutocrats
through the creation of trusts and
combinations which would control
the markets of the country combi
nations that would destroy the labor
organizations and ruin farmers by
controlling the price of agricultural
products.
To a prominent leader oi the Peo
ple's party a few; weeks ago Judge
Gfeaham'said that the only hope of
saving- the country from plutocracy
was througn the election of Orover
Cleveland, lor that was possible
while the election of a People's party
candidate was an impossibility; that
Ueveland stood oetween the extrem
ist-between the plutocratic tendency
of the money power and the Sub-
Treasury schemes of the oppressed ;
that only a man like Cleveland could
restore the Government to its origi
nal functions, and he advised ; the
People s Party leaders to do nothing
to endanger the election oi uroyer
Cleveland.
While Judge Gresham : will take
hundreds of his old political follow
ers with himr it is not with this class
that he will injure Harrison the most
in Indiana and Illinois. He is the
ideal of the workingmen, especially
the railroan mm, and th Democrats
have never concealed the fact that
had he been nominated by the Re
publicans he would have carried In
diana by 50,000 majority. His
famous railroad decision, known to
workimxmen as the "tin-bucket de
cision," is not forgotten. When Jay
Gould wrecked the Wabash Road
and a District Judge appointed a re
ceiver with orders to pay. the deffer
red interest to bondholders first,
Circuit Judge Gresham overruled
the district Judge, appointed anoth-
er receiver, witn oruers to pay the
men. carrying dinner buckets first.
The employes' wages were then long
past due. This decision was the
origin of the famous "tinbucket
brigade wihch paraded the streets
of Chicago in the interest of Gres
ham s nomination lour years ago.
Workingmen recognize Gresham as
their a-iend, and thousands in Indi
ana and Illinois who are wavering
will vote for Cleveland because they
know that Gresham would not mis-
cad them. , - : ' '
Judge Gresham is extremely pop
ular with the old soldiers. While
in command of a brigade he was shot
hrough a leg, which crippled him
or life. To the soldiers he was al
ways "Walt"; even now the old sol
diers call him "Walt"

THE ISSUE
News and Observer.
The eontest between the parties this year
ia on the same Hnei that it has long been.
On the one side are arrayed the Republi
cans and their allies who have the purpose
to centralize the government, obliterate
State line, and establish on the ruins of
OJUWanBepuliarp.ng govarn
ment,""whose powers, by tAfcwf inore
ment, would increase and expand untif a
consolidated natiea is built up. On the
other side are arrayed the Democrats, who
believe that the interest and happiness of
the " people .will be best promoted by ad
hering to the system established by the
patriot fathers a system in which the
States retain many high powers, and exer
cise in many particulars the full right of
independent and soverign communities.
But this means each State will bare entire
control of its local affairs, and the legiwla-
tures of the several States will deal with
those oo nooms that bear most closy on
the heme life of the people.
The present constitution of the United
States invests the United States government
with but few powers iu addition to those
previously invested in the old Confedera
tion. Among the new powers conferred
was that of levying duties, but this power
was given solely for the purpose of raising
rsveuue. But these Centralists have pas.
sod step by step from the original inten
tion, until, now tbey proclaim that the
power of- levying duties shall be so ued as
to increase the wages of certain citizens ;
and, inasmuch as the wages form a part of
the cost of production,, and the cost of
production regUlateiXi.tb4 price paid br the
consumers, thertsult is uecen8rily that the
power of levyiag da the, intended originally
to raise revenue, is so exercised as to make
one class of citizens eontribate to pay in
creased wages to another class. Such ia
on of the results already attained by the
Centralists. ,
Another result relatts to the currency of
the country. Formerly the State eon trolled
that matter entirely. The Legislature of
each State provided a proper amount of
currency for the people of tbat State. The
Centralists have changed all that. No
where does the Constitution invest Con
gress with any right to regulate the curren
cy or tne states, dui dj me aevics oi
taxing State currency, the Federal govern,
ment has gotten rid of all tbat, and it has
assumed the right to issue-carrency of its
own, so that the people mut sue to Con
gress for more currency, and that body
turns a deaf ear to their entreaties.
These are but samples of the matters
involved in the great controversy between
the two contending parties. .The Central'
isls propose to deprive the States of tneir
rightful power to deal with vital questions
which concern the happiness and prosperity
of the people, and the Decioorats propose
to restore t the States their old-time
privileges.
More than that, the Centralists have
sought by means of the Foroe bill to usurp
to the Federal government the function of
holding elections, and to have the elections
put under charge of oommisaionerj rbo
Will' be appointed tor lie by the present
Republican Judges- The scheme is merely
plan to have the elections held perpet
ually under the supervision of Republican
supervisor appointed now Tor life! By
this means they hoped to have perpetual
control of the elections. Their purpose,
however, was fortunately daftmted in the
Scaate ; bat hfi purpose is etiU entertained.
Th Democrats antagonize that as being
another blow at the right of the people to
govern them selves. ;
With these matters at Usue, what stnsi'
ble man can hesitate to see .where his duty
calls him t Who can refrain from assert
ing the right of the people to govern them

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
The following ia the Stato Demo-
craTicf patfornl -asadopjed byt lie
State convention assembled .
Resolved, 1. That the democracy of
North Carolina reaffirm the principles of
the democratic party both btata and natio
nal, and particularly favor the free coinage
of silver and an iacrease of the currency,
and the repeal of the internal revenue
system. And we denounce the McKinley
tariff bill as unjust to the consumers of the
country, and leading to the formation of
trusts, combines and : monopolise whioh
have oppretwed the people ; and especially
do we denounce the unnecessary and bur
densome increase in the tax on cotton ties
and on tin, so largeiy used by the poorer
poition of the people. We likewise de
nounce the inequitous foroe bill, which is
not yet abandond by th republican party,
but is being urged as a measure to be
adopted as toon as they regain control of
the House of Representatives, the purpose
and affect of which measure wU be to es
tablieh a second period of reconstruction in
the Southern States, to subvert the liberties
of our people and inflame a new race an.
tugonism and Btotiouai aniuiooities.
2. Thai we demand financial reform,
and the enactment of laws that will remove
the burden of the people relative to the
existing agricultural dr presion, and do
full and ample justice to the farmers and
laborers of our country. -
3 That we demand the abolition of
national banks, and the substitution of legal
tender treasury notes iu lieu of national
bank notes, issued in sufficient volume to
do 'the butiiuesB of th eountry on a ciSh
aysteja, regulating the amount needed on
a per capita basis as the business interests
ot the country expand, and that all inouey
issued by the government shall be legal
tender in payment of all debts, both public
and private.
4. That we demand that Congress shall
pass such laws as shall effectually prevent
the dealing in futures, of all agricultural
and m-cbanioal prodnctior.8; providing
such stringent system of procedme in trials
as shall secure prompt cvaviotion and im
posing such peualties as shail secure moat
perfect compliance with the law.
5. That we. demand the free and unlimi
ted ocinage of silver..
6. That we demand the passage of laws
prohibiting tho alivu ownership ol land,
and that Congress take early steps to devise
some plan to obtain all lands now owned
by alien and lorrigu syndicates; and that
all lands now held by railroad and other j
corporation, in excess of such as ia acta- j
alj used and needed by ihem. be reclaimed
by the government aud held for actual
settlers only, '
7. Believing in the doctrine of "equal
rights to all and apeoial privileges to none,"
we demand that taxation, natioual or State,
shall not be used to build up one interest
or elans at. the expense of another. W
believ that the money of th country
should be kept as much ae possible in th
hands ef I ha people, aud hnce e demand
that all revenue, natioual, State or county,
