Searchers for tho unique In this peculiar
Presidential canvass can find an illustration
OF what might be called ethical campaigning
in that famous old political cattle ground the
Thirteenth Assembly district where Police
Commissioner SHEEHAN is chieftain OF the
loyal Democratic hosts. and Mr.. FREDERICK
s. G1BBs the friend and beloved patron OF our
now celebrated political contemporary Mr.
SOL BERLINER The handsome Mr.. GIBBS has
again adorned tho local canvass OF the district
by his distinguished presence as candidate
for tho Assembly. and voters thereby again
have the rare Joy Of studying that majestic
moustache and sunny smile that Is one OF the
features OF Broadway In uueter times when
FREDDY and Sol take their afternoon stroll.
Leader JOHN c. SnEEHAN. on behalf OF the
Democracy. has introduced into the canvass
an equally progressing parsonage in tho
stalwart figure OF Assemblyman JAMES H..
SouTHwoRrH. whose dark moustache lacks the
slken sweep OF the Wick cd FREDDY. but who's 9
strong right arm Is credited by his admirers
with the power OF knocking Wicked FREDDY
into a cooked hat II tho political battle could
be decided according to QUEENsBERRY rules.
Mr.. SoUTHwoRTH Is the Democrat who ut the
polls last year defeated the Wicked FREDDY By
the narrow. but still puissant majority OF
thirteen votes. something that Is regarded as
significant for the reason that 1t coincided
exactly with the number Of the Assembly dis
trict in which 1t was cast.
We have not in this campaign observed any
such handsome interchange OF courtesy as
these two handsome candidates have dis
played in enabling each other to see with their
own eyes exactly how things are going to go
on election day.
On Monday the Wicked FRED organized his
forces into a torchlght parade. and encircled
the district melodiously making frankly owl
don't that his supporters are not mum erically
strong enough to seat him In the Assembly.
On Wednesday Assemblyman SoUTHwoRTH.

sioner. turned out the Tammany voters. and
with equal show OF frankness. made It con-
vincingly apparent that GIBBS was done for
We extend to both these handsome candi-
dates assurances Of distinguished regard. and.
in the face OF the coming triumph OF Assem-
blyman SoUTHwoRTH. respectfully call tho
attention Of the Republican voters Of the old
Thirteenth to the fact that Wicked FRED's
success would have inevitably wrcnched that
hitherto indissoluble tie that has bound to-
gether him and his unique protege. Mr.. Sol
BERLINER.
Cheer up. FREDDY. You've still got Sol. the

front beckoning forward. Almost his
last act, the resignation of his paper
as the official organ of the North Car
olins State Alliance, because the ex-
ecutive board criticised him for favor
ing the Peoples party in its columns,
showed him TO be still at the front.
He will be seriously missed from his
place. He will be missed from our
councils and conventions. He will
meet with us no more this side of the
grave.
We have been asked repeatedly what
effect his death will have upon the AL
lance and the Peoples party. 1t will
in no wise stay the progress of either.
Col. Polk, though dead, still lives in
the mighty impetus he has SO nobly
aided in impsrting to the setiment of
the age. This movement will still go
on. Other men will be found to take
his place and carry on his work, and
the ultimate success of the struggle
for industrial freedom and the per-
petuation of liberty in the American
republic will be the grandest monu-
ment to his memory.

THAT WALL STREET DISPATCH.

AprOpOs to what we said relative to the Ohl-
CagO Daily Press Especial" that is going the
rounds of the reform press, the Nebraska AUt.
dRCe has this to say;
Many OF the reform papers are publishing q
lengthy dispatch purp0Ttlng to have been sent
from Wall street, March 81, 1892, to the Chicago
Ddilu Press, In which the ideas and plans Of the
plutOcTats are outlined. Mrs. Emery quotes q
portion OF this dispatch In her new book on "Im-
perialism In America" We have read this dis
patch with some care, and must say that all the
Internal, as well as external, evidence Indicates
that IL Is q fake. We have no doubt that lt truly
sets forth the plans and sentiments OF plut0cracy;
in fact It sets them forth too plainly and sys-
tematlcallg 10 be written by anybody but re-
former. PlutOcracy never gives away ltB de-
signs, except by accident, or Ia piece meal.
II fthe genuineness Of this dispatch cannot be
established it should be taken In &C once. IL re-
form writer's put II alongside OF the Hazard and
Buell. circulars and various other documents of
like character the public faith In the genuineneSs
OF all may be shaken. We cannot atf0rd to
father any faxes.
Right you are; and, with no reflections upon
that worthy gentleman, we further state that

peared, Is the author exclusively Of the same,

wise, we shall hold to that belief. Cali lt In.
We have no use for -NOncOrVOrmiSt.
We regarded this so called dispatch
as a fake when it first appeared, and
hence We never published it. We
could not see the evidence of it's
authenticity. 1t may voice the senti-
ment of Wall street, but we doubt il
the gold bugs are sending out that
kind Of dispatches to be left lying
around loose on the floor Of the Chi
csgo Exchange to be picked up by
calamity howlers" and given to the
public. This is where this precious
document is said to have been found.
We do not believe it, and we shall
not take up this "howr" until we have
better evidence of it's authenticity.
We are glad to know that others
share our opinion of it.

TRIBUNE" ROT.

The Topeka Tribune of the 9th
inst. has its customary amount of rot
relative to the editor of The ADvo-
CATE. We refer to it only to say
that its vile charges and insinuations
are false in every particular, and
have no foundation whatever save in
the deprsved imagination of the pig
my now in charge of that paper.
Even this allusion to it is far more
than it deserves. 1t merits nothing
but contempt

Space in The ADVOCATE is too vslu-
able for any extended account of the
Republican national convention. We
shall reserve comment upon the hsr-
monies of that gathering until Re
publican journals begin to tell about
the riots and disorderly proceedings
of Peoples party conventions. Suffice
it to say that Harrison and Reid are
the Republican nominees of 1892.
It matters little who are the men
put forward as standard bearers of
the party, except as they are known
to stand as the exponents of certain
principles Of public policy. 1t is with
these principles that we have to deal,
and by them the party must stand or
fall.
It must not be understood that the
platform of the party is a full and
true expression of it's principles.
These are to be determined rather by
its record upon public questions.
Platforms of the old parties are de-
signed to conceal rather than make
known their policies. We ask our
readers to note particularly the silver
plank of the Minneapolis platform.
Does il commit the party to the free
coinage of silver? Yes, in the silver
states it does,but in the gold bug states
it is susceptible of another interpre-
tation. We do not speak of this upon
the theory that it would make any
difference in the future policy of the
party, whatever might be the declars-
tions of the platform. We merely
refer to it as an example Of the evss-
i've manner in which the most I'M
portant questions are treated. Com
pare it with the clean cut, decisive
declaration of the Peoples party upon
this question-"We demand the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver"
That declaration means something, as
will be demonstrated next November
when backed up by the millions of
voters Of the industrial classes of this
country.
Time and space forbid extended
comment upon this instrument Of
party faith IN this issue. We publish
the platform complete in another
place that our readers may have an
opportunity to study it in all its de-
tails. II is a wonderful document.

COLD POLITICS.

1 ANS~N~@
Times has an editorial containing
so much truth that we are led to re-
produce it. 1t is as follows:
In spite of the Indifference Of Republican
voters and the opposition of the ableSt party
managers Harrison has been easily re-nominat.
ed. He accomplished the result by four years
steady manipulation of the sppOintiVe power.
1t is the most signal triumph the bread and
butter brigade has ever won.
Hlsdelegates at Minneapolis were OfficehOIders
and the creatures OF officehOlders. Harrison has
administered the government as II 1t had become
by the grace Of God his private property. He
has pampered scamps like Raum and elevated
sChemers like Elkins He has tolerated every
thing but refusal to wear the chains Of political
SerVitude to his private fortunes.
This Is the form of corruption the fathers OF
the republic dreaded. It is worse than the cor
ruption Of money. Harrison, Mckinley and
Reed had made wreck Of the Republican party
with their tariffs, subsidies and force bills.
Blaine advanced sham reciprocity which re-
ViVed the hopes Of the party aud gave the west
ern wing place to stand upon. But Harrison
drove poor old Blaine into a resignation and ap-
prOpTiated Blaine's work. The OfficehOlders
have performed the task allotted to theu. Har-
risOn, the contemner of labor the lover Of Subsl-
dies and special privileges, the selfish, friendless
politician, has been again placed before the
people as the nominee Of one OF the great
parties.
Ingalls, said only two years ago that Harrison
had no friends In Kansas. CullOm and Farwell
said as much of illinois, Platt and Miller say
now that the voters of New York dislike him.
Can money in blocks Of five distribution again
elect presidential candidate whom the rank
and file Of his own party desplse?
II Cleveland is once more the choice of the
Democracy, we shall have settlement of &C
counts between the two old opponents and be-
tween the principle of popular sovereignty as
against the ruthless use Of money and pa
tronage.
AS the tariff is the chief bone of
contention between the Republican
and Democratic parties, will the
Times now tell us just how much diff
ference there is between the policies
of Harrison and Cleveland upon this
subject? We would like to see this
difference for once clearly defined.
There is another element this year
which must also be taken into con-
sideration, however reluctantly, by
the two old parties. This is the Peo-
ple's party. We are aware that there
is pretense of belief that this new
party will cut no figure in national
politics That pretense, however, is
not skin deep. The old parties know
far more upon this subject than they
care to acknowledge to the public.
Now, when this political factor is
taken into consideration, other issues
are presented, and while the Times
is engaged in pointing out the dis
tinctive differences between President
Harrison and Grover Cleveland, we
would be pleased to be informed how
they differ upon the silver question,
ard upon the general questions of
our financial system. These are
questions concerning which very
large number of people would like
information. Will the Times accomo-
date them?

L. L. POLK DEAD.


have been received. We only know,
at this time, that the Washington
dispatches say that he is dead. The
news will carry sorrow into thousands
Of American homes. Wherever Col.
Polk was known he was admired. To
know him was to love him. No truer
heart than his ever beat in human
breast.
Col. Polk was born in Ans0n coun-
ty, N. c., on April "a, 1887. His edu-
cstionsl advantages were limited.
His great natural ability, however,
enabled him to make the most of the
opportunities he did enjoy, and also
largely compensated for the lack Of
that which the world calls education.
In 1860 he was elected to the legis-
lature Of his state, and at that early
age he made q gallant fight against
the secession of North Carolina from
the Union. He had the honor, in
deed, of making the last speech that
was made upon that side of the ques-
tion. The state, however, seeded.
The war came on. Born, reared and
educated as he was, he did what almost
any other man would have done un-
der like circumstance ne went with
his neighbors, friends and associates
into the Confederate service He
survived the perils Of camp and field
and returned at the close Of the war
to a desolste home to begin life at the
foot of the ladder. He was elected a
delegate to the reconstruction con-
vention which met at Raleigh, ratified
the abolition Of slavery, and, accept
ing all the results Of the war, turned
its attention to the necessities Of the
changed conditions that confronted
the people Of the south. In the coun-
ellis Of his state Col. Polk has always
been a conspicuous figure.
For several years after the war he
followed agricultural pursuits. He
served for some time as commissioner
Of agriculture, which position he
filled with honor and to the satisfac-
tion Of all parties. He became inter-
ested in the organization Of farmers
clubs, and soon became prominent in
this work. He was three time elected
by acclamation chairman of the Inter-
state Farmers Association, in which
eleven southern states were repre-.
sented. Elected as a delegate to the
council of the several agricultural or
ganizations which met in St Louis in
December, 1889, at which time con-
solidation Of several Of them was eff
feCted under the title Of the Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union, he was
there chosen as the national presi-
dent. He was reelected at Ocala in
1890, and again at Indianapolis in
1891. He was a born leader Of men,
commanding their adherence and
following, not by the weight of su-
thority, but through the respect and
confidence of his fellow men, which
seemed to be his by natural right He
