RALEIGH, N c., Nov 16, 1892.
To our FeJlOU Democrats Of North CDro-
lnG:
The Cleveland Carr democratic club
Of Raleigh desires to say to its various
friends of the democratic household
that the anticipated demonstration of re
joicing over the national and state vic
tory, to which they were cordially invi-
ted, has been abandoned.
The members of this club assure their
brethren that they yield to none in the
deep appreciation of the blessings vouch-
safed to us in the restoration to the peo.
pie of unrestricted commerce, the defeat
of monopoly, the preservation of civil
liberty, and the salvation of our beloved
state from the spolation of combined
} ignorance and iniquity. They rejoice
with you, with exceeding great Joy, ano
5 they are proud to have CONSTRUCTED to
this democratic victory more than tn,
capitol Of North Carolina ever did be
fore, as their share of the conflict ant
S the glory.
But at this moment the people of thi
city mourn the falling N their mids
of the chief judicial officer of Nortl
Carolina, and one who led the demo
J cratic hosts In the darkest and fiercest 0
+ their battles.
: We also mourn the death of anothe
of Cardinals purest sons, an officer O
D State, to whose unwearied labors fo
Il many years the tax payer within GU
# borders is indebted.
1t is right and seemly that while OF
public buildings are draped in mourn
ing, and SO many hearts are sore wit
IL pain, that this community should foreg
,e its privilege of rejoicing. We will Q
1t this occasion, following the wise an
o patriotic suggestions of our Governo
/ reserve the expressions Of our devol
IS gratitude for Thanksgiving Day, and el
( deavor to share with the orphan and tt
k veteran the joy and gladness that tn
triumph and. the gift of Almighty Go
have brought unto US.
Assuring you of the high estimate
,e we have of every democratic worke
1 we are,
S, Very respectfully,
OF GEO. G. HECK,
lie G. E LEACH,
al H. d. BLAKE.
