The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1892-06-30
CLEVELAND and STEVENSON

the great democratic Poi1y
been named by the chosen repre-
sentatives. If they had no othef
record the choice in itself would
make them worthy. But BESIDES
being the choice Of the delegates
from the different states to the
national democratic convention,
they have a record that will stand
before the people OF this great
country, and the people of the Dem
ocratlc party will stand by them
and send them, by the power OF the
ballot. to be the head OF this gov
eminent after 4th of March, as they
will be the bold leaders from now
until the election in November.
While Cleveland was not the
choice for President toy every state
or delegate, yet the majority have
spoken and all will fall III line. In
North Carolina in 1888, Daniel O..
FOwle was not the choice Of every
democrat for Governor OF this state
until after he was nominated
But despite the contested ground
for other men before the nomIna-
ton. when it was announced that
FOwle was the choice of the ma
iority of the representatives in the
convention, every democrat went
to work and did his level best to
elect FOwle. And FoWle was
| elected.
In the late state democratic con
ventIon at Raleigh, Elias Carr
was by no neans the unanimous
choice of the delegates for Govern
| or of North Carolina for the next
four years after inauguration day.
But despite the hot contest by the
friends and admirers of the differ
ent candidates, when the conven-
| ton named Elias Carr as the lead
er of the Democratic party in the
coming campaign every mans
choice was merged into one, and
all pledged support to the mai
named by the convention. SO let
lit be in this national contest.
| While the friends and persona
sadmlrers of the. different candidates
Ipreferred their man, when the
majority of the delegates sale
l"Cleveland must be leader al
ii0ined III the one strong, irresiSti
be determination to make him 40
lOnly the leader of the campaign
but President Of this great country
And the united efforts of the demo
cratic hosts throughout this broaC
land will do that very thing.
With Senator Hill, Mr.. Cleve
, lands strongest opponent, as leade
of the campaign, there Is no reason
why Cleveland should not be elect
ed.
: TIE DEMOCRAT has all the Will
said that both Cleveland and Hill
wonId better step aside unless Git
ferences between their friend
, could be adjusted. These differ
: euceS were reconciled at Chlcag
, and HIPS trends went home de
termined to yield to the will of tn
people, Notwithstanding they wer
naturally very greatly disappointed
As we have before said, we ha'
no candidate to name, for it wa
. not our business to make nomma
tons. The men have been named
They were named by the represen
tative power of the great demo
: cratic party of the country, and i
is not our province to question tn
wisdom of that convention.
Here we are with lance and spea
to do battle for the cause of demOC
racy as best we may, under tn
leadership of Cleveland and Steven
SOD; and we firmly believe that
every democrat throughout tn
land will file INTO rank aud TAX
his proper place in the conflict, th
people, the democracy OF the coun
try, will Wild, and Grover Clevelan,
viii be President OF this great com
monwealth again, and Elias Car
will be Governor of North CAROLYN;
at the same time.
