"WEen [ stated in that letter |
supported the State and National
ticket it did not occur to me that
anyone would doubt that / endorsed
the State and National platforms
any more than one would doubt a
Presbyterian endorsing the "Confes-
sion ofAFaith". But hat you may
not misunderstood me, l state that
] endorse the Democratic State plat
torn made by the State Democratic
Convention held in the city of Ra-
leigh, n. c., in May last, and the
National Democrat platform made
by the National Democratic Conven-
ton held i'll the city Of Chicago, ILL.,,
in June last. | have been in every
campaign since the war-sometimes
rs a private, sometimes as an officer,
AID have done my duty to the Dem
ocratle party DIS best | could. If
there be some who want to fight me
for the nomination or even scratch
me at an election they have a right
to do it. The Democratic party has
always contended for the greatest
liberty to the citizen. And while l
would appreciate a denomination I
would not have anyone vote for me
who is eonscientiously opposed to
me-.
We do not know how Nh. Alex
ander could give to the Democratic
! platform, State and National, a more
unqualified endorsement than he has
IN the above extract. There are two
ex-PresIdents, and one President of
tile North Carolina Farmers ALI
ance, now living, and all endorse,
without the slightest reservation, as
they have always done, the platforms
Of the Democratic party. There is
nothing in the Alliance to prevent
any member of It from being a good
Democrat, nor is there any ground
to suspect the fealty of true ALI
a.ncemen to the Democratic princi-
pies. We should not forget that the
splendid victory achieved two years
ago was due, in great part, to the pa
triotic cooperation of Alliancemen
with mona tliance Democrats, and
the united support thus given the
Democratic nominees. These two
elements Of the Democratic party are
one and the same this year, and an
other decided victory will be won in
November. Within the next sixty
days We believe that the white PEG.
pie of the whole South will b.
aroused, as never before, to the i'm
portance of standing together il
solid array against the enemy Of
their homes and liberty. If Mr.
Alexander wants to return to Con
gress he should I've reelected. HI
has made a faithful representa-.
tive.-Raleigh Chronicle.

The State Democratic Convention
showed the ripest wisdom and sound
est discretion when it named fol
State Elector the above distinguish

There cannot be found in the Stat
a more thoroughly qualified Or
better equipped mar for this posi-
ton than this able and adroit ant
sagacious and keen sighted and leve
headed and brawny Drained and in
tensely magnetic gentleman. A fin
and forceful and eloquent speaker
a sound, thoroughly posted and un
compromising Democrat; a gentle
mar with a record without blot o
stain and perfectly unassallable, b

will make his power felt from tn
seaboard to the mountains. Their
is not a purer patriot, a finer gen
tleman or a more thrilling and cap
tivating speaker in the entire State
) for he is a man of magnetism an,
power and eloquence and s%tirrin,
oratery. AS a debater he is stroni
and powerful aud convincing, ant
the very best and most admirabl
equipped speakers always dead t
meet him in the arena of debate, TO
they know the resistless power o
the avalanchian sweeps of his logic
and all dread the blistering curren
: of his burning invective and wiIhel
ing arcasm And he is one of tn
most impressive and effective speak
ers = e ever heard, for his speeche
not only contain the soundes

Of thought, but ever an ano
they gleam and glisten and bur
with the thrilling flashes of tina
t soul moving oratory which soal
away into the highest heaven {

the fires of heartiest and warmes
