Having certain convictions of Ita own which It is bound to declare, and hav ing at the same time the deepest con cern for the welfare of the Democratic party of North Carolina, the Obskrteb hails any suggestion that looks to peace in the ranks, and sees with satisfaction that the Asheville Citizen,' a free coin age paper, proposes a basis'" of settle- jUCUfe W lllbUf 11 nuvproui vtv a xauw v the friction now existing between (be different -factions. Discussing the de plorable condition of the Kentucky Democracy it says: Where there is a known and serious difference of opinion among the rank and file of the Democratic party as to whatyshould be the policy of this gov ernment in relation to gold and silver, is it the part of good politics to urge that question at a time and in a State convention, the nominees of which, if elected, will never have a final word to say on the subject? - The State of North Carolina cannot, as a State, go into the free coinage of silver. The State convention of the Democratic party can, indeed, declare that the party in North Carolina demands the free and unlimited coinage of silver; but will such a declaration tend to per petuate harmony in the party? Will it bring us votes, or will it tend to alien ate some of the strongest Democrats the party has? Granted, that the "sound money" Democrats of North Carolina would vote for the nominees I on a free silver enthusiasm be platform, would their J heightened by such a demand in the State platform? We wish to speak the words of truth and soberness. If the cause of- the Democratic party and the cause of free Silver could be advanced, side by side, in Congress where it must be decided by a declaration in the State Demo cratic platform of North Carolina we should favor it with all the force we could muster. But can it? . Will it aid in the election, when the time comes, of a single free silver Congressman? But, it is urged in some quarters, we must have such a plank to draw back to us old time Democrats who have wan dered into the ranks of the Populists. Must then the true and tried "sound money" Democrats be put in the atti tude of throwing a sop to voters who have made the mistake of deserting to the enemy? And who thinks in serious ness that any considerable number of them could be attracted by a conces sion as meaningless and as ineffectual as this? If the Democratic party in North Carolina in State convention as sembled should to-morrow adopt a plat form thoroughly Populistic in every plank and nail, who doubts that the next platform of the Populists would be as far from that platform as words could make it? The Populists of North Carolina who make the plat forms are out for spoils, not for princi ples. While there should be no surrender by the free silver Democrats of their belief on the financial question, neither should the "sound money" Democrats demand that their view of the issue should predominate. But there should, for the sake of harmony, be a general agreement that the whole financial question be left to the only field in which in can be fought out with any effect on 'national legislation the con gressional and the presidential. As the Citizen has before said with reference . to this financial question, it is a national one, and must be determined by national conventions. North Carolina Democrats should send delegates to their national convention who will represent the views of the people of the State on this ques tion. If North Carolina Democracy favors the free coinage of silver, free coinage delegates only should be sent to the national convention; and if it is opposed to it, the delegates to the national convention should be opposed to it. The Democrats of this State will do nothing so comforting to the enemy as to start a strife among them selves that will conceal the real State issue and that is as to whether the voters of North Carolina approve of the fusion Legisliture and its worksits blunders, its incompetency, its fool legislation, its attack on our system of State education, its bad laws, its at tempts to overturn the best government North Carolina ever had." Divide among ourselves and desert the real battle field, and we are beaten without a ehance of saving our self-respect. Surrender at the start, and victory would be more demoralizing than de feat. It was not for the likes of the Obseb vkk, a representative of the minority element in the party, to have made a proposition like this, but it is within its rights, perhaps, to give whatever circulation it may to so wise and timely a proposition coming from the other side. A FKW POPULIST FALLACIES. Mr, Jarvis, as proved by his speech at risFPwntM Tnao1a TkAn 1 student of his friend "Coin. He de nied that the money value of silver de pended on its commodity value. The government stamp,' he says, '. the value.' That is the Populist ;: trine outright. -Following "Coin" aea he says "free and unlimited silver coi age was the doctrine of Jefferson and Jackson lC6in" having forgotten and Jarvis having never known that Jeffer son stopped the. free coinage of silver when the commercial value of the two metals, gold and silver, parted. Upon this subject of the policy of the -: fathers as to the coinage question, Mr. EL O. Leech, late Director of the Mint, brings to mind,tia a brief letter in the . New7 York Telegram a few days ago, . some facts -which it were well to re- - member: -- Whether or not our fathers preferred silver to gold the important fact to bear in mind is that they never contem plated coining either metal except at its : commercial value, , There can be no disnnte ob this nninL "The writings of Jefferson and Hamil ton are replete with arguments that the commercial value of gold, and sil ver is the only proper test for a coinage ratio,.-- . - , - ' - This idea, however, has no standing with our Populist friends.' The money value of silver doev not depend upon its commercial value, but the govern ment stamp," they" .say; "gives the Value." If that is true, why not stamp chicken feathers and make them legal tender? Ti e Populist argument on GEXTBT AND PATCHES. . V Mr. L. Banks Holt writes the ObsEB teb that its report of the race on the 23d at Chicago between John R. Gentry and Joe Pate hen ;w as : not a fair one. For this .- the . paper is sorry, ; but it has to take its press association news as it gets it, I Mr. Holt makes', the ex cellent point that no one need consider i it a dlserace for his horse to be beaten by such a horse as Patches. This will 1 be his last year of racing and both of his fine stallions. Gentry and Baronet', will come to North Carolina. We .take an extract from a private letter from him: . ; f ' X have never figured to make, racing of my horses a business, bat in order to show i the horse fraternity the high class of horses X am breeding from, it seemed that I could do ; nothing that would advertise them bo much as to send them to the grand circuit, and this accounts for my two (Gentry and Baronet) itallions being on the grand circuit; and if they hold - their Own to the end of the season Alamance Farm will have two as 'fine ' stallions as: any farm in the country, and these two stallions retired to the stud in North Carolina will certainly tend to help the breeding business in this State. John R.; Gentry and Joe Patches meet at Fleetwood Park tOKday and all North Carolinians will hope that fortune will be; with Gentry.It would be a pity.great horse as he is, for him to re t ire from the turf with the bad prestige of defeat. . What may be said to be the first gun in the Russell campaign for Governor is fired in a paper of endorsement, signed by Republicans and Populists of Cleveland county, and published else where in this issue. Prominent Repub licans of the State have said they would not stand fusion next year unless a Re publican headed the ticket. Senator Butler had a conference with Judge Russell last Saturday and Sunday at the latter's cottage on the coast. Senator Pritchard is in Shelby this week on legal business. State Senator Fortune, of Cleveland, one of Mr. Pritchard's most enthusiastic friends, is one of the signers of this paper of endorsement. The reader can take these several facts land make up his own verdict. To the Observer they make .out a case of a deai aireadv consummated. s Ed. Chambers Smith, Esq., tells the Raleigh News and Observer that his free silver State convention is getting along well. "We expect all friends of bi-metallism," says he, "irrespective of party, to attend. It is not to be a parti san meeting, but rattier an economic gathering, and all persons who are 'op posed to the single gold standard and who believe in 'the 'free, independent, unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1' are included in the call." That lets in Butler and Eitchin and Mott and the whole outfit. And when, next year, the national Demo ocratic platform calls for sound money, and the Populist platform for cheap money, and the Populists say to the Democrats who particinate in this con vention, "Well, boys, what are you go ing to do about it?" the answer to the question is apt to be attended witn a good deal of embarrassment. The first two numbers of the Raleigh Press-Visitor, consolidated and under the new management, is to hand. Mr Greek O. Andrews is the editor-in-chief and Mr. Thos. J. Pence the city editor. The paper carries an afternoon press service and is larger than either of the two papers it succeeds and in all par ticulars an improvement upon either of. them. Mr. Andrews has had a varied newspaper experience and has undoubted capabilities for the work. Mr. Pence developed a great deal of brightness on the late Press, and the combination is a strong one. The Press-Visitor will be much the best afternoon daily Raleigh has ever had. The Observer wishes it the very best of good fortune. In his Morganton speech Mr. Jarvis took up the article of "Merchant," in last Sunday's Observer, and said; "I haven't read it and never expect to." Then he proceeded to reply to it. Solo man said: "He that answereth a mat ter before he hath heard it, it is folly and shame to him." The Trilby business needs a rest. An advertisement in the Richmond Dis patch tells of a "Trilby excursion" to be run from Richmond to Norfolk to day. This is the last straw. Baddy Bracts g Up. Washington Post. Having naa several stitches taken in his political scalp and the balance of his person liberally covered with court plaster, Hon.

Quite a number of Charlotte; people are in the habit of drinking Tate water having it shipped IB barrels but few of them know lust where Tate Spring is located; so if they will bend a listening ear, I will tell them where and how. to get that - which- sooner' or; lateti all - we eartny a welters in an eartny wona go in search of health-' i :r?:I;:f Tbe best connection through to Tate's is made by taking the morning freight out of Charlotte to- Statesville, where yon connect with the Western s North Carolina No. 37, which puts you into Morristown at 3:35 p. m., and you leave Morristown on the Mortistown & Cum berland Gap Railroad at 4 p. m., arriv ing at Bean's Station for Tate's about 5. There a full tine of haeksis found iq waiting, and after a delightful ride of a mile over ajfine road, you find your self inside the enclosure of the famous Tate's Spring. - . . ' :: The hotel proper is a large, commodi ous, couveniently arranged and impos ing looking building on the crest of a small mountain or large hill. There is a beautiful stretch of lawn looking southward from the bote! this lawn being Mr. Tomlinsen's special -pride. Pretty flower beds, well kept walks, closely cropped grass, all give evidence of the master's eye, and impress one at the first glance that the proprietor of Tate's gives the entire place his per sonal supervision. Besides the new hotel building, the old hotel, which faces the new about half way down the lawn, is kept up, and by many is preferred to the main hotel. A dozen or so of cottages are dotted here andthere clean and white in their mid-summer dress of white paint and overhauling. The enclosure in which the hotels and cottages are located the sanitariums for so many of earth's worn and weak consists of 40 acres of ground; the whole place of 300 acres all good farming land and kept by Mr. Tomlinson, the owner and proprietor, in the very best state of cultivation. "But how did Tate's get its name? Why is it not called Tomlicson's, as Mr. Tomlinson is the owner?" asked a lady at the breakfast table this morning a new-comer, of course, for all of us landmarks, as we call our selves after the first week, know the history of Tate's. Putting Charlotte people who have not been to this wonderful spring on the inquiry bench with this new-comer. I will "kill two birds with one stone" by answering both at once. The place was owned about 80 years ago by Gen. Center. His daughter married Samuel Tate, and the place, afterward went to them. At that time the spring was called the "Eye Spring" being special ly beneficial for sore eyes. E. O. Tate succeeded Samuel Tate as owner, and the place gradually became known as Tate's Spring. As "Tate's" it gained its reputation at first confined to the State now world-wide. Mr. Thos. Tomlinson the present owner and proprietor came here years before the war on a pleasure trip. He was at once convinced that there was a fortune for some one in the spring, and on returning to his native State of South Carolina decided tq move to Tennessee, and if possible get an interest in this property. This he succeeded in doing in 1875, being one of a stock company which bought it. A year later he leased the property, and then by gradual purchase of the stock beoatne owner as well as proprietor of this wonderful health-giving water to thousands of people all over this broad land, a veritable elixir of life. The view from here is beautiful. Clinch mountain and its lesser ranges almost enclose the place, making the scenery picturesque and the climate delightful. The spring the "Mecca" to which so much suffering humanity makes annual, semi-annual or monthly pilgrimaeevais situated in the bottom of the dell attbe base of a foot-hill of no mean proportion. The stream a strong one flows, into a natural rock basin which nature, not' man, made. As one looks down into the clear, pure water, every drop of which means re newed health and strength to mankind, one cannot but exclaim, "What a wonderful spring this is!" The writer has visited quite a number of springs, and knows of none the curative powers of which are greater. For all kinds of nervous or dyspeptic troubles Tate water is unsurpassed. The water is best, of course, at the spring, as it is cool and exhilarating, but it bears ship ping better than any known' water. From ten to fifteen barrels are shipped daily at $5 a barrel, besides numerous cases also. The water is shipped to every State in the Union and to Ger many and Canada. Mr Tomlinson boasts fdr his spring a wonderful re cord. In twenty years he has lost (by death) only seven persons who were patrons of the spring. Besides the benefit of the water, the visitor to Tate Springs finds the best of fare and company. The cuisine is in excellent bands. All fruits in season, vegetables and meats, the best the sur rounding country affords, are to be had; the bread is excellent and the pastry good. The table service is clean and peat, and the waiters polite and atten tive. Mr. Tomlinson is ably assisted in the management by bis wife and sons and Messrs. fnapp and Rankin, and all their combined effort is productive of the success which Tate, as a pleas ant social, as well as health resort, has attained. Business men will be interested to know that there is a postoffice and tele phone and telegraph offices in the hotel. The postmaster, Mr. E. A. Snapp, is one of the most accommodating and clever, as well aa popular, young men on the hilL The office is kept; open the year 'round, being a regularly established office. The run of trade this season has been as large as ever, the hotels and cottages being filled to their utmost capacity. In this crowd there have been many charming people, a few of whom only can be mentioned in detail: Hrst, there are Mr. and Mas. J. M. Smith, of Charlotte, who have been here for two weeks and; will probably remain that much longer. Mrs. Smith's - quiet, beautiful manners and mental attrac tions have made her one of the most sought-after women of the place; Mr. and Mrs. Shaffer and children, of Louisiana,- (Mrs. Shaffer nee Miss Julia Cut liffe, a .belle and beauty ; whom Char lotte in former times claimed);" Judge Temple,. of KooxvlUe, and his brilliant and fascinating daughter. Miss Temple, a high honor graduate of Yassar; Mr,, and Mrs, Barry, of Mississippi he one of the brightest lights of the Mississippi bar; Rev. Dr. Otts.. the distinguished Presbyterian divine, and wife; Con gressman Harrison, of the third congressional distriot' of - Alabama, and his - most charming ' and tal ented - daughter, Miss 2ary Harrison,.-?- who, by her - sweet man ners and delightful voice, has made her way right into the hearts of the people and reigns supreme as prime '.favorite. Highest of all in Leavening Power. -Latest U.S. Gov't Report J Miss Harrison, by. the way, is a pupil of ; Eranl; Colonel Thos. 8. Kenan, f Raleigh; ex-Governor Bob Taylor, who, with his family, swill spend the month of September - herer Mr. Harbin, the well-known author, - who has just re turned from a visit to the .old country, and whose charming individuality and intellectuality made him at once a de light to the thinking ; people of . the place an intellectual stimulus - ever; accompanying him was his niece, Miss Nellie Knight, of . Anniston, Ala., one of - the most " famous singers -- of the South. Hers is the finest amateur voice X have ever beard; indeed, few profes sionals excel her. She " sang in . St. Phillip's church in Atlanta last winter. This winter 'she goes to New York to stody. - - - V ----. . South Carolina is charmingly repre sented by Misses Fanny -Louise ..and Leslie Witherspoon. " Georgia.. sent representatives . to "fill a ' whole cottage. "Georgia row" of 1S5 will long be remembered for its pretty and attractive girls. Mr. Sam Beall, so well known in Charlotte, is also here."- - . One of the most interesting persons I have met is Mr. B. Gonzales, of Galves ton. He -is my right hand man at table, and, having traveled Ftbis wide world o'er a veritable "globe-trotter, as Christian Reid would designate him delights us all ; by bits of travels when drawn out, by " descriptions of places, in Mexico. Alaska, Europe- and the States. In my reading of "The Land , of the Sua" he assisted me Sreatly in untangling and interpreting exicao names. Galveston has several other representatives here: Mr. Rob ertson and son and Mr. Rhodes. Mr. Tomlinson s two. nnmarried daughters, Misses Lucy and ' Essie, are bright and attractive, and in the social whirl of the Spring are indispensable. I must not forget to mention the pleasures which Tate's offers bowling alley, billiard and pool room, ball room, fine band, tennis court, drives and rides, germans, euchre par ties etc. Although a doctor's services are not needed by the two-weeks dweller at Tate's, the new-comer some time has need of one. This season from three to five visiting doctors have been on the ground: Dr. A. R. Tomlinson, son of the proprietor, at present of Bel'evue Hospital; Dr. Openheimer, of Knoxville; Dr Morris, Dr. DeLaney, and others. Tate's is complete in every particular, and I am sure that Charlotte will be better represented here from season to seasonas more of her people know of the "wonderful curative powers and fine effects of the water. Nearly all of the cottages and rooms in the hotel are sup plied with fireplaces so many come here in September and October from other resorts. A little soeial dot and I am done: Last night Miss -Temple gave an ele gant reception at her home in Knox ville in honor of Mr. Harbin, her spe cial friend in and out of books. The invited from here were: Congressman Harrison, Miss Harrison, Mrs. Knight, Miss Knight, Miss Fannie Louise With erspoon, Miss Lucy Tomlinson, Mr. Matheson and "your correspondent" (with Fred Olds' permission). The af fair was an event in Knozville's social life, as well as Tate's. Miss Temple is a famous hostess, and in her effort of last night surpassed herself. The Observer comes regularly and is enjoyed by others than Charlotte folks and North Carolinians. A. W. W. SCHEMING AND SCHEMING. Butler, Guthrie aad Stroud Confer A Passenger Train Rocked The Silver Pe tition Circulating at Durham. Correspondence of the Observer. Durham, Aug. 27. Senator Marion Butler came up from Raleigh yesterday evening on the 5 o'clock train. Mjjor W. A. Guthrie met him at the station with a carriage and drove him to his Main street home, where they were in consultation until nearly 12 o'clock to-day. Congressman W. F. Stroud and Mrs. Stroud drove over this morning from Chapel Hill, and the "Hebrew of the Hebrews" was in the consultation soon after arriving in town. They are doing a lot of scheming, and the best information to be had here indicates that they are at work on a plan to unite all the advocates of free silver on one ticket in the State. ' Last night as the Norfolk & Western passenger train, which arrives here at 8:25, p. m., Was jnst getting into the suburbs, some misoreant threw a stone through a window of the smoking car. A passenger sitting near the window had his face slightly cut. Our police are at work on the case , but have no clue to lead them. Profs. R. L. Flowers and Edward Mines, of Trinity College, arrived here last night. They have spent their vaca tion at Cornell University, and for the last few days have been visiting the various points of interest in northern New York. They came by boat from Albany to Norfolk apd say that it was a most delightful trip. Prof. E" W. Kennedy left to-day for Baltimore, where he goes to take charge of the chair in the Woman's College to which he was elected some weeks ago. A petition which was circulated here yesterday, and which was quite gener ally signed, is in the -interest of a con vention of silver Democrats, to be held in Raleigh at an early date. Messrs. R. B. Boone and J. S. Manning inter ested themselves iu securing signatures to it. They are warm advocates of the white metal. The Alamance Heroes Not Forgotten A Monument la the Field, To the Editor of the Observer: For the information of Mr. W. E. Anderson, of Florida, whose communi cation appeared in your issue of Sun day, and as a matter of interest to oth ers, perhaps, I will state that there is a monument on the Alamance battle ground, and while I write, some heavy blocks of granite are being hauled there to do needed repairs to the foundation of the monument. I hear that Rev D A. Long was largely instrumental in erecting the monument, no doubt hav ing the co-operation of other patriotic citizens. As Mr. Anderson is of North Carolina descent, possibly of North Carolina birth, he will be . pleased to bear that the old heroes are not forgot ten in North Carolina. . W Burlington, N.
