The leading Democratic papers east,
outside of New York, are next to unani-
NOUS in their protests against Mr.. Cleve-
land taking part in the state contest in
the empire state, even to the extent Of
writing letter endorsing the candidacy
of Governor Hill. The president has
shown d1sinclination to comply with
the urgent solicitations of the party
managers to say or do something In be-
half of the state ticket, but he no doubt
has vivid recollection of the campaign
of 1892; of the overwhelming popular
protest expressed at the polls against
federal interference in state politics. and
however much interest he may feel in
the success Of his party in that state, he
can hardly be expected to commit such a
fatal blunder. The situation in New
York is very interesting to all and ex-
ceedingly perplexing to the Democrats

To the Editor Of the EAGLE:
Dear Sir-In a recent issue of the In
ter-Ocean it was stated that at Mar
shalltown. Ia. the other day two old
crippled soldiers were leaning on their
canes talking over old times when
Cleveland Democrat came along and IN
suited them by calling them government
paupers. They were so enraged at the
insult that one of them broke his cane
over the brute's head. and the mayor OF
the CITY hearing the fact called on the Old
veteran and presented him with fine
gold headed cane in place of the one he
had broken over the fellows head. See
inp the above and not knowing whether
it was true or not. Chaplain NJ. h. Har-
mon. of Garfield post. addressed the fol
lowing letter TO the mayor OF Marshall
town:
Dear Sir-Seeing the above In
the Inter-Ocean and desiring 10

Mills bill controversy, but the speedy re-

able, therefore, that the minority party

Stedman is still in the lead among the
splendid quartette from which the Demo
cratic Convention of North Carolina must
select the next Governor. More counties
have declared for him than for any other
man The Cape Fear section is sclid for
him; a fact that must give him a tremrn

The indications all point to his nomiua-

testauts: Alexander and Gilmer are the

Harnett will not vote for the nomination

We are fully confident Alexander is the

success of the Democratic party III North
Carolina at this election wOuli be 10 put
the name of S. b. Alexander at The head
of the ticket.
S. B. Alexander can, without doubt poll
more votes for the Democratic part, in
North Carolina than any other man. There
are many traits about Alexander that will
make him popular with the voters of the
State. He has been thoroue bly, tested and
always found to be gentleman of sterling
ability. He has been weighed as a legis
lator, gentleman, farmer, as a soldier Oh
the tie ted fields of battle and in no place
has he been found wanting. Alexander is
a good stump speaker, and would make a
bold and vigorous canvass for the party IN
North Carolina. And in connection with
this his canvass would do some good, for
the people have confidence in him, they
think in him they have friend who will
stand by them, which is so.
The nominating Convention of the Dem
ocratic party Of North Carolina should
bear in mind ii there is Democratic Gov
ernor elected in North Carolina the farm
ers will have him to elect, aud if they
cannot get their choice, many Of item
will not 90 to the polls. Democ' ats re
member these things when you cast your
votes in the Convention,
The farmers have for many years stood
square to the party. This year they have
put their man forward for Governor and
if the Democratic party Of North Carolina
will not notice them in the Convention,
they will not do the right thing nor the
best things for the party.
