Third Party-Republican Annex.

No one State in the South suffered
moro from the rule and ruin policy of a
Republican administration than North
Carolina, and when the Democratic party,
by determined and united effort,
wrenched the government from its hands,
that day dates the beginning of her
prosperity. Having freed the State from
this incubus, the Democratic party has
stood guard over the grand old Common
wealth, and held in check the efforts of
the Republicans to fasten upon her
burdens far beyond the peoples present
grievances. North Carolina ranked as
the strongest pillar in upholding the
"Solid South" o.day we find somo of
our hitherto sturdy Democrats listening
to those who are striving by intrigue to
put the State under Republican rule, and
it comes in the name of "Third party
plot to split the Democratic party and
thus an entering wedge to break the
| "Solid South
No one can deny that "times are hard, "
money scarce, as when the farmer is
forced to sell his cotton below the cost of
production, depression is felt in every
branch Of business. The merchant who
grants an extension to tho farmer finds
some difficulty in meeting his bills. There
is not newspaper in the State that does
not feel the pressure of tight money
market. With this universally felt "hard
times" what has the Democratic party
done to bring about. It is not responsible
for the iniquitous tariff, or other policies
that weigh so heavily on the farmer. To
those who argue cit is not of the State
Executive we are dissatisfied, but the
National Government )" this is q candid
acknowledg for the State in all its
branches is Democratic--ther has new er
Democrats were in control of the Ma
tional Government.
Now, when the Democratic party is
about to succeed and render you tho
service the party seeks, you threaten to de-
sert and follow a "Third party" with the
most impractical platform, with adjustable
planks to catch the soldier vote North,
but not to be mentioned in the South
in broken doses, but you have to swallow
the whole Gas the sentiment" Of the
party. Are you going to vote the RepubIi
can ticket? Every "Third party" vote
means this and will result in placing the
Republican party in power in North
Carolina. This is what the "Third party"
will do for the farmer. Can you afford
it?

Democratic Clubs.

Chauncey F. Black, president; William
u. Wilson, chairman of the Executive Com
mittee, and Lawrence Gardner, Secretary
Of the National Association Of Democratic
Clubs, have issued an address urging upon
"the Democratic people Of the Union the
necessity of prompt, efficient, and general
organization for the impending conflict. v
They say that if the Republican conspi
racy which was struck and shattered "by
the popular indi gnation in 1890 is per
mitted to retain the presidency and to
recover the House, a force bill as much
worse than the last as the Mckinley bill
was worse than any of its foregoers will
be enacted to protect the despoilcrs in
perpetual power in order that they may
revel in perpetual plunder."
TO avert This dread calamity they iap-
peal to the people to organize Democratic
clubs Or societies "frst,i in their neighbor.
hoods second, in their States, and third,
in the Union-to expose the purposes and
to meet the onset Of the trained bands OF
Capitalization and monopoly"

THE twenty fifth commencement Of the
Medical College of Virginia was held
Tuesday night at Richmond. Rev. DR..
J. Y. Fair delivered the address. The
Dispatch says:
"The minister took for his theme "The Physi-
clans Crown" " The Great Physician Jesus was
given glowing tribute and His healings through
out the world were told of in graceful style
''Dr. Fair spoke of the confidence imposed in
the family physician and of the love given to
him, saying that for this man was woven a
crown which was tenderly placed upon his brow
"It's crown of Iadiance-immortal love-" The
Doctor said the family physician was always the
friend and helper anG even in that most solemn
hour when the sunset flckers upon the WALL it is
to his hand we cling-his voice we hear. He
touches upon the pulse when the infant breathes
its first; he touches upon the pulse when the
man breathes his last.
'He said that the true doctor had but one pur
pose in life-to conquer disease, to relieve pain
"All through the address that lovely flow OF
language so characteristic of DR.. Fair was en-
ployed."

tee be appointed, consisting of the chair
man, S. W. Reid and E. S. Williams, nom
Alliance members, to confer with the
editors of all Democratic papers in the
county, and request them to desist from
confounding the Alliance with the socalled
Third party, as such charge was unjust
to the Alliance and offensive to large
number of good Democrats. The motion
was adopted without objection.

n8@ A writer in the State Chronicle
strongly urges the claims of Mr.. Frank L.
Osborne for attorney general. He says: ::
"Please allow me to announce to the
Democracy of the State, through the
medium of your most excellent paper,
that the name of Frank I. Osborne, the
able lawyer, the eloquent advocate and
the efficient solicitor of the 18th district,
will be presented to the Democratic State
Convention, which meets in your city
May 18th, for the nomination for the
position of attorney general. To those
who know Mr.. Osborne no word of intro
duction or commendation is necessary.
A graduate of Davidson college, and
naturally fond of classical literature, he
is scholarly in his attainments and his
education is finished and complete. In
heriting from his father, the late Judge
James W. Osborne, legal mind of the
most superior type, we'll grounded in the
fundamental principles of the common
law by two years course ofstudy under
that great North Carolina jurist, Rich.
mond NJ. Pearson, and with the best OF
opportunities offered by. large practice
in the active and wide-aWake city OF
Charlotte, it is no wonder that Mr.. Os-
borne has developed into what he is, a
great lawyer, a fine speaker, the most
powerful prosecuting officer i'll the State,
and master, in the broad meaning of the
expression, of the learned and abstruse
profession of the law. 1t is rare to find
| in one man so many strong points, and
all in such high state of development, as
| are found in him."

PENSION CLAUSE - Mr.. Moses was
elected to Congress from the fourth
district of Georgia as an Allianceman.
At the request of his constituents who
belonged to the Georgia Alliance he went
to the St. Louis conference as delegate
and the denials of the men who are
trying to humbug the Alliancemen of
the South by denying that this plank
was in the platform has drawn letter
from him, published in the Southern
Alliance Farmer, of Georgia, which
shows that it Oas in the platform.
The editor of the National Economist,
in the issue OF March IL, admits that the
division (of the PLATFORM into three plans
has been done since the adjournment OF
the convention and that he did it at the
suggestion of Marion Butler, of North
Carolina. The truth Of the matter is,
when they saw the South would not
accept it, the bosses here in Washington
patched it up and issued special edition
for Southern consumption. They don't
deny the pension plank in the North and
West. Mr.. Turner, the secretary, says
he favors it. Why do they want TO deny
| it? The Third Party Congressman favor
il. Just the other day eight of them voted
to add about twelve millions more to pen
sion bill that was already too large"

Morgan offered in the Senate today an
amendment to his silver res olutions which
was ordered to be printed.
The Senate Committee on Privi-
leges and Elections decided to allow
81, 900 and 81, $50 respectively, to Messrs.
Clagett and Davidson, who have figured
as contestants, for seats in the Senate, and
to allow $4,000 to Senator Dubois to meet
the expense he was put to in defending
the title to his seat.
The session of the House today was
entirely consumed in filibusterng on the
Free Wool bill. The Democrats refused
to allow one hour on each side for debate
on the first section This caused M.
Burrows to oresort to filbustering methods,
which, under his leadership, were success
fully carried out The Same tactics will
be pursued tomorrow, and there is no
telling now when the Free Wool bill will
reach the Senate.
