The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1888-12-25

Whenever and wherever the rights
and interests of the people are endan-
gered he is always ready to champion
their cause, and he does it boldly,
manfully and fe~arlessly.
We note that quite a number OF
our exchanges credit our enterprising
and able neighbor, the State Chronicle,
with getting out the cut and sketch of
Capt. S. B. Alexander. The Chronicle
got it from The PROGRESSIVE FARMER,
and with It's usual spirit of candor
and fairness, gave The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER due credit for it. This, our
brethren, inadvertently, of course,
overlooked. By the way, we fire.
q%uently find u items, and eve u
editorials, in some of. our papers with
out any credit at all. Brethren, this
is not "toting fail" is it ?
The Charlotte Daily Naws inter-
viewed Capt. S. B. Alexander, as to
his position on the Senatorial contest:
"Give me-" said the News reporter to
Capt. Alexander, a statement that
will define your position, for the bene-
fit of your friends throughout the
State. "Well," replied Capt. Alex
ander, elf the Legislature dominates
me | will accept. If my friends want
to press my name for the Senatorship,
they can use it for that purpose. |
shall make no personal exertions in the
matter" This seems to define Capt.
Alexander's position clearly, and there
need be no farther misunderstanding
on that score. He is a candidate.
THERE is much talk of "educa-
tional qualification" for voters, There
are two sides to this question /? Can the
State consistently punish ignorance
Can it raise the child in ignorance and
rob him of the ballot -? Would it not be
wiser to open the doors of the school
house than. to close the ballot box ?
| Shall it curse them with incapacity in
youth and stamp them with the badge
of inferiority in manhood? Would
simply an educational qualification
give to us honest voters 2 If the ballot
is corrupted who is more to blame for
1.-THE intelligent, shrewd and I'M
principled manipulation, or the poor
ignorant voter whom he brides !
Should we not endeavor to preserve
the integrity of the great middle'class,
which is and has been through all the
ages, the c~onservator of civil liberty {
Would it not be better to make every
man white OR colored, rich or poor,
high or low, who, by his vote helps tc
shape the government, help support 1t

Senator ingalls,. in a speech made d
few weeks ago. criticised Generals
Mcclellan aud Hancock. Democratic
newspapers have made great ado
about this. saying that it was because
Mcclellan and Hancock were demo.
Gratis ami that the republicans had no
use for the democratic soldiers. Sen.
a'or oor!'tcs, in answering Ingalls,.
had something to say about ingalls,
record during the war. and that his
own record WAS better than that of
Ingalls,. This week Ingalls, answered
N"nrlccs and fairly ilaye,l him alive.
He showed that Voorhees, was n
C 'rrer.hcad. who came near being
hung by the soldiers for his disloya
|utteranccs: that he WAS a knight OF
the Golden Circle, Il disluion org,ni
cation of the north, and after ex.
planning that he (lngall.) only CRITICS.
ed Mcclellan and Hancock as politi.
clans, not as soldiers, lie proved that
Voorhees, had said during the war
that the soldiers of the union army
should so to the blacksmith and have
iron CELLARS made stamped "a. Lin.
c'ln's dog" and voorhees, did not
exempt Mcclellan. Hancock or any
other union soldier who was then
lighting the battles of the country.

THE TRUTH OF III,

by Il careful perusal of democratic
newspapers and IN industrious inter.
viewing Of returned delegates, we aIe
able to give to our readers the follow.
ing us the history and results of the
late umplcasanturss ut Watertown.
Day had more delegates present
than Church and Church had more
delegates than Day. Neither of the
converts ions amounted to anything in
numbers or Importance. Most of the
delegates were present at both con.
yentions in different halls ut the same
moment, and some served Oh commit.
tees appointed by each body. Int we
believe no one delegate served on
both the committees om resolutions.
Day has gained Il great victory and
Church has conquered his enemies.
That there is no chance whatever for
either set of delegates t., he admitted
tn the national conventions, and there
is not the slightest doubt but that
either will he admitted That the
democracy of Dakota believe that
Cleveland is immaculate and infallible,
but one half don't believe in his ap.
poiltments. and the rest don't think
he knows much about the duty of Il
democratic official when there's 8.
fight Oh.
The above may appear little
mixed. but these are democratic
recolis-and they never lie.

That Convention.

In an interview with representative
of the Grand Forks Plaindealer, some Of
the Pembina delegates to the Water
town convention expressed themselves
as follows:
john i. Tllacker-"I am a delegate
from Pembina county, haye my Gre
dentials and cast my vote-wliere Judge
Bangs prcsided-wllat did the rest Of the
crowd do but vote in another ,ncrtin.
they had, and without any authority
cast my vote there tool want this
distinctly understood"
Col. Webb-"Yes; am one of the
central committee Of the territory. We
were successful in every move. The
Church faction, duly elected. carried
everything all through. Of course
there was an opposition move or con
Germ started. but it didn't amount t.
anything. Our convention was the pro
per one, and the one that will be rccog
nized at st. Louis. Our delegate fol
North Dakota is from the city of Penn
bina-Col. Il. ii. Megquier."

FRIDAY MAY II, lsSs.
WHAT OF TIP

The democratic convention ut
Watertown. last week. split in twain,
and the cleft is so deep and so wide
that it will probably take, at least, a
longer time than this fall, to fill the
abvSs.
What with the slogan of free trade.
with the political work of officials.
whose bread and buttcris their strong.
est motive, with the wish for II change
in a territory whic! has hardly had
two parties until the last two years.
it WAS probable that north Dakota
might have raised possibly majority,
or ut amy rate large minority of
voters who would vote and work for
the democratic party.
But the innate cliSSelncSs of the
democratic principles derived from
the old Jacksnnian policy 'to the vic
tors belong the spells has broken the
shell. the contents lie scattered over
the battle ground, and the smell
thereof rerketh through the land.
The democratic party in this territory
have qllarreled over tho spells on the
eve "f battle, and only one of the fac.
ton have had any pretensc of making
Dakota, her interests and rights, Il
factor in the fight, and this faction, in
order to he able to have u showing in
the democratic national convention,
did not dare to put anything on record
for the good of Dakota for fear that
the national convention would rule
out forthwith any delegation which
asked for the admission of Dakota.
What of it! Citizens of Dakota,
what use have you for this party of
spells, whose factions fight each other
and forget our commonwealth. and
whose national convention would rule
out delegates that ask for Dakota's
rights!
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1888-05-11

In reference to the admission of
lady delegates to the general confer.
encc of the NJ. +. church. the Even.
ing Journal says:
Tile moral victory. however. seems
tn be almost complete. In the face of
this argument against the admission
OF the ladies' by the conference with
out vote of the churches. there was
only very slight majority against
admission. II is probable the churches
will vote to admit ladies to full mem.
bcrslip in the conference. and that
they will he given seats ut the next
session. The real victory seems to le
on their side.
