State Convention of the Demo
cratic Clubs Of North Carolina.

At the convention of the Demo-
cratic clubs of North Carolina held in
Raleigh last Friday. Julian S. Carr,
president, r. C. Beckwith, secretary,
and John w. Thompson, treasurer,
were reelected for four years. The
following vice-presidents by districts
were elected: G. L. Pettigrew, j. S.
Battle, C. A. Battle, Frank Stronacb,
n. B. Cannady, George, Rountree,
Glenn Williams, r. l.. Ryburn and
Thomas A. Jones.
President Carr was given authority
to appoint eleven delegates and as
many alternates to the National con-
vention of clubs.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, That the chairman of the
county committees be requested to
organize clubs in each township, and
within thirty days call conventions to
organize the county clubs.
Resolred, That this association,
composed largely of ex-Confederate
soldiers, reaffirms the principles
enunciated in the National Demo-
cratic platform of this year and heart
lily endorses every word and syllable
thereof, and repudiate the utterances
of the Durham Globe, an independent
newspaper, edited by person hereto
fore Republican, from the North
west, regarding pensions as inconsistent
with the National Dem ocratic plat
form.
Resolred, That we thank Gems.
Stevenson an Ewing for their addresses
in enunciation of the time honored
principles of the Democratic party.
We thank President Carr and the
other officers of the association for
their effective services in promoting its
success.
We express our appreciation of the
able presentation of the issues of the
campaign by the State press and its
fearless advocacy of Democratic princi-
pies.
The following is the language of the
Globe above referred to, and which is
being made political capital of by Re-
publican papers North and West:
1.-The whole business
Is
Theft
And pillage
Pure and
Simple.
We wish to God that there had been
enough Democrats in Congress to have
slapped the
Lousy Beggars
Of the North in their
Dirty faces.
This would have served them right.
They received pay for their red
handed and wicked work-they should
now subside.''

Democratic party, were not so in
different to the truth, but desired to
place the facts before the people, they
could authoritatively state in their
speeches that the Democratic party
had not only secured the circu-
lation of the amount of money above
named, but that it prevented the Re-
publican party from retiring from
circulation S374,ooo,ooo in green
backs, making in all over 100000,
900, which, by the legislation and
vigilance of the Democratic party,
the people now have in use. This is
three times as much as the valuation
of the entire taxable property of North
Carolina.
Another view: There are now in
circulation in this country 81 ,6oo,-
100000. This is all. Suppose the
Republicans had succeeded in their
legislation, what would have been the
result? They would have retired from
circulation over $500, 900, leav-
ing about $500, 900 for the use Of
the people. Our people complain
now that the volume Of circulation is
too small, and it is too small and
should be increased, but reduce il
more than one-half, as the Repub.
liCans would have done, had they moi
been prevented by the Democrats
and the condition of the people would
have been deplorable in deed.
Some of the Third party speaker:
seem to be afraid Of the truth, but the
people are determined to know it,

STATE BANKS OF ISSUE.

Commenting on the article on State
Banks Of issue, recently published in
the GOLD LEAF, being an interview
with Maj. w. T. Sutherlin, Of Danville.
which appeared originally in the Reg
lister of that city, that paper says:
Major Sutherlin is practical man
and has been successful in business.
He has had large experience with
banks of this character and speaks
by the card. His views will be read
with interest and will command at
tention.
There are some objections to cur
rency of this character, but it also has
great advantages, and while we would
never countenance wild cat bank
ing scheme and unrestricted imitation
of the currency, we can see no good
reason why few well-regulated banks
Of issue restricted in their operation
by State laws and required to redeem
their notes in currency, would mott
prove OF great benefit.
But be that as may, we believe
that the tax on State banks should
be repealed. We do not believe that
the federal Government has any moral
or legal right to impose it, and on
Democratic principles it ought to be
repealed. This tax is but another
phaze Of protection, and the Govern
ment in times of peace has no right
to impose tax upon one class of
banks in order to protect another
class. The notes issued by State
banks are not money. They are
mere promises tc pay money to bear
er and the Federal Government
should not interfere. Let the tax
be repealed and let the individual
States determine for themselves wheth
err or not they will have banks OF is
sue. This is all that the Democratic
party demands.
In conclusion, there is this one
point to which we would direct the
attention of the farmers, who are de-
handing an increase in the circula-
ton. To increase the national circu-
lation and to open the minis to the
free coinage of silver would not nee
essarily increase the circulation in
Virginia. Moreover, those states which
have per capita circulation Of from
S2oo to $500 do not want the circula-
ton increased. But if the national
Democracy shall succeed in getting
control of government, then the tax on
State banks will be repealed and
each State may without the interfer-
ence of the Federal Government, es-
tablish safe currency of its own and
make the circulating medium ade-
quate to the demands of trade. This

The happiest results we believe will
attend the visit of Hon. A. f. Steven
son to North Carolina. The greeting
that the people give him is the natural
welcome extended to distinguished
guest Of North Carolina parentage,
whose people have been our people
and whose memories are associated
with North Carolina events and North
Carolina traditions. He is a scion OF
our stock who has grown to splendid
manhood and attained high position
in a Western settlement. That he
was called to his present exalted posi-
ton in MEASURE through the efforts
Of North Carolnians makes his pro-
minence only the more gratifying to
US. In his success all Carolinians can
take pride, even those of different
political faith, who may not feel at
liberty to support him at the polls.
He came to North Carolina at the
instance of Col. S. Carr, the Presi-
dent of the Democratic clubs, who has
spared neither time, nor effort, nor
expense to make his visit agreeable to
him and of the highest value to the
Democratic cause which he represents
in his person.
North Carolina has never been so
thoroughly aroused by any incident
as this visit of Gen. Stevenson. His
journeying sets the State in a blaze of
patriotic ardor and enthusiasm.
Hearts grow warm and the people
become aglow with pride as thcy pre-
pare to receive him, and towns and
sections vie with each other in doing
him honor. Communities, busy them

WHAT THE DEMOCRATS PRE-
VENTED.

1t is frequently stated, by the Third
party speakers, that at one time since
the war the Democratic party had a
majority of representatives in both
branches of Congress. This is true.
Then these speakers ask what did
the Democratic party do for the
people?
This question is very proper one
and is entitled to an answer.
The first Congress, since the war,
in which the Democrats had a majority
in both branches, passed an act
authorizing to be put in circulation,
by the government, $3.50, 900.
But there was a Republican president
at that time. What did he do?
President Hayes voted this act,
passed by a Democratic Congress,
providing for circulation, among the
people, of $3.50, ooo,ooo How was
the Presidents veto met? Did the
Democratic members allow President
Hayes to have his way? No. They
passed the act over his veto, which
put the $3.50, 100000 in circulation.
Every dollar of this sum is Demo
cratic money. There would never
have been a dollar of it in circulation
had it not been for the firm attitude
OF these Democratic Congressman,
who are charged with never having
done anything for the people.
Why not speak from the record and
tell the people the truth? No liar can
prosper.
And if these speakers, who are
misrepresenting the record of the

selves with the hustle of prepare

day of the ovation which they propose
giving to the next Vice. President Of
their country. And the enthusiasm
becomes contagious, and spreads itself
throughout the adjacent counties,
until the whole State will be permeated
with patriotic fervor and the tame of
Stevenson will become known to every
household.-Newsa and Observer.

Meanings of the Word '4Stove."

The word stove, as applied to heater
for room, seems to be of about the same
age as the article to which the name is
now applied, as while the word as a name
had an existence in early English, it was
used In different sense.
Both Lord Bacon and Woodward used it
as referring to house or room artifcially
warmed, and particularly dollhouse for
plants. Bacon also used the word as n
verb In the way of keeping warm In house
or room, as ito stove orange trees and myr-
ties" to quote from his writings. Pepys
used the verb in nautical sense. as heat
ing for the purpose Of making pliable, as
"stove bolt ropes"
But all these definitions are obsolete
now, such disuse dating from the time
when Dr. Franklin made his discoveries
and applications. The French word etuve,
it may be added, describes dollhouse or
bathing room, and hence is parallel In
meaning with the early English word

timed, would nave to- be ranneo 6y d
vote of two-thirds of the general confer
ence.
The matter was submitted to vote of
the conference. and failed, though re-
ceiving a considerable majority. A con-
census of the lay membership was OBJ
tanned by vote overwhelming in favor
of female representation, but it has no
legal significance. Some have proposed
the bringing the matter before the con-
ference in the shape of resolution, and
the sweeping of 1t through on the ground
that the submission of the question to
the conferences was not necessary, and
the body itself is the sole judge of the
qualifications of its members; or it can
be done by one of the two women elect
ed as reserves claiming a seat, the princi-
pal absenting itself. Should these or
similar courses be pursued, there would
be trouble, and possibly secession.
The question, also, of the election of a
colorod bishop, will be exciting. The
negro delegates will claim representa-
ton in the episcopacy, but they will not
succeed or cecede. To evade all agita-
ton of t e question the conference may
settle 1t by resolving to elect no new
bishop.
Equal lay representation will be asked
for. The Ia. men are now in minority

upon to deciue rs to the increase in the
number of bishops, and the time limit

A strong memorial will be presented
to the conference, asking it to enact
such legislation as will enable pastors to
drop members who do not support the
church according to their ability, to
elect bishops for eight years without
privilege of reelection, to remove the
limit from the pastorate, to provide for
the election of presiding elders with or
without the nomination of the bishop,
and to give the cabinet, with bishop,
power of making appointments, a ma
jority of the presiding elders being suf-
hcient to determine an appointment.
Distinguished Divines Present
Many eminent jurists and statesmen
are in the lay representation, and large
number of distinguished divines in the
clerical. Besides these, there will be
fraternal delegates from all branches of
Methodism and other churches of Prot
estantism. The English Wesleyans send

of Fletcher Moulton, one of the most

A Number of Important QueS-
tons to Be Decided.

Are Women Eligible as Delegates-Shall

or the Board of Bishops-Equal Lay
Representation-Many Distinguished
Divines Present.
OMAHA, May 3.-The hotels, boarding
houses and residences of private citizens
of Omaha are crowded as they were
never crowded before. Monday evening
the QuadrenDial assembly of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, better known as
the general conference, convened in the
new opera house, and the occasion has
brought to this city the most prominent
and influential ministers and laymen of
that denomination from every state and
territory in the Union.
The organization of the general con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church in the United States was made in
1884. 1t meets Fundamentally, and is the
largest ecclesiastical body that assemblies
in this country. 1t Is constituted of the
seventeen bishops-who are presidents,
in turn, but have no vote and no voice
except by courtesy-305 ministerial and
1873 lay delegates, representing 1874 an
nual conferences and missions, with a
total Of 80, 079 preachers, travelling. and
local and ., 400, 600 lay communicates.
Questions to Decide.
On account of the agitating questions
to come before it, it will excite more in
terest than any conference in Methodist
history, save that of 1874, when the
church divided on the slavery ques-
tion-an event regarded by many as
the entering wedge of the great civil
war.
The question of the eligibility of
women as delegates is likely to present
itself, and, possibly, in very exciting
form.
1t came up in 1888, when certain
women, among them Miss Frances Will
lard, having been elected delegates, pre-
scented their credentials, and claimed
seats. 1t was decided. after prolonged
debate and a close vote, that restrict
i've rule barred their admission, and that
this constitutional barrier could only be

Facts About Black Ink.

No chemical black ink has yet been made
which will write black Immediately on ex-
posure The common black ink is made Of
nutgalls, and is by all odds the best ink
ever made. Manuscripts written in this
black ink 500 and 600 years ago are just as
legible today as when first written. The
chemical inks of the present are of too re-
cent invention to determine whether they
will last, but it is quite probable that most
of them will be as legible at the end Of
fifty or seventy-ive years as they are to
day. There is, however, fortune In store
for the man who will invent chemical
black ink which will write black at the
first and remain so.--St. Louis Globe-Dem-
