flowing pen in hand he should drop a
line to his enthusiastic young friend, Mr..
AL FAIRBRoTHER, the able editor of The
| GLOBE, of Durham, North Carolina, and
arrange to have that fiery young south
erner proceed with a more cautious tread.
Mr.. FAIRBRoTHER is doing noble work
for Mr.. CLEVELAND in the South, but bis
illusions do not read so well when printed
away from home. The red Durham edi-
torial bull has now taken up the matter
of MR.. CLEvELAND's substitute, and is
| determined that he shall not suffer on
that account. We quote from THE GLOBE
as follows:
Some of the northern papers are bowling
about the positive fact that GROVER CLEVE
LAND hired a cheap man to represent him
when the North pillaged and plundered and
burned and rayished the South. There could
| not be a better recommendation. The scamps
at the North who went into the war, went in
for fourteen dollars a month, with an explicit
understanding that they should and could
| steal all that was in sight. GROVER CLEvE-
LAM knew that the country would need his
| services in 1884 and again in 1892, and he did
not propose to have his body filled with lead
in order to give a Yankee the chance to pick
his pocket after he had been killed. He Sim
ply did a good business job, as he did when he
slapped the dirty beggars, called pensioners.
! in the face. Why should he-a statesman and
a man Of his intellect take the chances OF
war when he could hire a cheap fellow to rep
resent him! There is no reason. The GLOBE
regards that as one of the best things CLEvE-
Ian ever did. If CLEVELAND had fought, he
would have been lowered in the estimation of
the South. He did not propose to use his skill
in killing the boys of the southland. The
solid South owes a debt of gratitude to GRO
YER CLEVELAND.
Just so. The Solid South owes a debt
of gratitude to GROVER CLEVELAND "fOr
declining to kill the boys Of the South
land; but how about the North Those
dirty beggars, called pensioners" and
their friends do not agree with this bel.
lowing Durham that hiring a substitute
was "one of the best things CLEVELAND
ever did" The brilliant MIR. FAIR
BROTHER should profit by the example
set him by his friend CLEVELAND during
the war, and ego slow.'-New York Sun
day Advertiser.
Oh, we'll, we do not agree, just here,
with the New York Morning Advertiser.
We hold to views which are honest and
square-and we would like to ask, to
start this thing off, why COLONEL Cock
ERILL gives our utterauCes so much
space, unless he knows what we know
That the beggar pension system is the
greatest of all the frauds.
He does know it-and he, with all his
genius, with all his legerdemain, and all
his jugglery-and he is versatile-can-
not, for a holy minute, defend the beg
gars whom CLEVELAND slapped in the
face.
'em all, we desire to say that so long as
GROVER CLEvELAND's unbroken record,
concerning the miserable mendicants and
hummer beggars, is concerned, we shall
not go slow. Mr.. FAIRBROTHER regrets
that he is not a calliope, that he might
make the world hear the shrieks Of truth
which can be told about the dirty, lousy
and sneaking band of despoi1ers and
assassins who came into this country i'm
personating soldiers and left their proto-
types in the shape of yellow niger babies.
