THE THIRD PARTY.

In the face of his recent open
letter and his speech at the con-
ventiOn in which he declared that
his greatest desire was for the
success of the DemocI attic party.
Harry Skinner is to head the
North Carolina delegation to
Omaha.
THE SENTINEL publishes MOI e
details of the Peoples party or
ganization this evening. There
is a Third party in the State and
we shall not be surprised to see
make a vigorous fight in the
coming campaign. 1t will not
he surprisingly view of the vigor
with which it is moving, if a full
State ticket is yet PIT in the
field.
The action of Harry Skinner
anc other Alliance leaders who
were expected to stand by the
State ticket justifies this belief.
The extreme element is not sat
isfied with the liberal action of
the State convention.
In the meantime Democrats
must p 'epare to present a solid
front to the combines enemies of
the interests of the State and ma
ton. This is no time for luke
warmne>s. The time to fight
the Third party is in its infancy
and weakness.

what Col. Polk Saws.

The Washington Post contains an
interview with Col Polk frem which
we clip the following. The Colonel
said:
"The Peoples party was organized
on the ST. Louis platform with en-
thusiastic unanimity. The plan of
organization adopted provides for the
calling of county meetings on the 18th
proximo. Congressional District con-
ventions are called for the 10th prox>
limo. Eight delegates for the State>
at large were chosen to the Omaha
convention. The State will be fully
represented at that meeting. The
Alliance people of the State were
highly incensed at what they termed
the outrageous methods of the Demo-
cratic machine politicians to prevent
them from having fair representa-
ton in the convention. Some of them
refused to 60 into the convention and
nearly all of them quietly retired af,
ter the nomination of the State ticket
The friends of reform in that State are
thoroughly aroused, and will make a
determined fight for their principles. !"
He was asked if the Peoples party
would have a State ticket in North
Carolina. He answered:
"That has not been decided. It
has, however, been agreed to hold a
State convention of the Peoples party
at some time after the 4th of July, the
date to be decided upon by the State
Executive Committee.

BOB FOX'S VIEW s..

To the Edlto- ofthe sentinel.]
During the administration of Presi-
dent Cleveland, it will be remember
ed We had our little financial crisis
What did the Republican party do?
They kicked worse thar brother Sam
mule, which kicked the loft out of its
stable and then jumped upon the joist
tc kick the roof off, but his foothold
slipped and he fell.
When Harrison was elected. nearly
four years ago, they were jubilant; they
whooped, they hollered and what
didn't they do?
Their song of
when Grover steps out and Harrison steps
in.
Oh then good times will come again."
could be heard on every side.
Have their good times come? We
say most emphatically "No," with a
big N. Under Benjamin Harrison's
administration we have had the hard
est times our country has ever known.
Our people say money has been the
scarcest they ever knew it.
Does this look like ''good times?" |
think not. Now they will try this
"good times" racket on US again, but
| let us pay no attention to them. They
have deceived us once, and will do so
again if they get chance.
Grover Cleveland made US the best
President we have ever had. Let our
convention at Chicago nominate him
and let his friends from all sides rally
to him. We know of some of the
strongest Republicans the state afford
ed, who, under Harrison's admins
tration have declared their intention
to never vote another Republican
ticket.
Hurrah for Cleveland

BUFFERS VIEW.

Marion Butler, the President of
the State Alliance, will support
the State ticket nominated at
Raleigh last week In his paper,
the Clinton Caucasian, this week
he says that the ticket taken al
together is very satisfactory. OF
the convention and Allan ce con-
ference he says:
"The extremists both ways would
have preferred different ticket and
platform, but the medal line between
the contending factions was very
nearly struck. This would not have
been possible had not the Alliance
confer, nee taken just the course it
did. IF the conference bal presented
the st. Lonis demands as an ultima>
tum, then if the demands had not
been adopted there would surely have
been a split, ard if they had been
there might have been a split. So
the members of the conference held
the key to the situation ?"
Mr.. Butler is a little off when
he says that his conference held
the key to the situation. Of
courseits members had the choice
of acting tremendously with
other Democrats in the conven-
ton or acting independently.
The result of the convention
shows that the oln line straight
out Democracy was willing to
act with liberality and concilia-
ton.
Mr.. Buffers conference did not
try to force the st. Louis plat
form because it was we'll known
that the st. Louis element was a
helpless minority. Butler and
his crowd knew that it would
have been consumate folly 10
have attempted to gag the con-
vention with the ST. Louis plat
form.

THE INDEPENDENT VOTE.

Within less than a mouth the
candidates of the two great par
ties of this country in the coming
national contest, will have been
named.
And the campaign that is now
opening to view is to bein many
respects the greatest and most
interesting in the history of the
Republic.
It starts out amid political
conditions which have not exist
ed in any previous national cam
paign. There 10 a feeling OF un-
rest and dissatisfaction among a
large class of thecitizens of Amer
lea and this makes the final re-
suit all the more doubtful.
There never was before SO large
g doubtful vote, a vote that is
no longer partisan and that can
not be counted for either side till
the ballots are Deposited. To

SAAO
The convention did a wise and
graceful thing in the nomination of
Mr.. Furman for auditor "a wise thing
In that it was distinct recognition Of
the services of the Democratic press
Of North Carolina. and a graceful
thing in that it endorsed and promot-
ed gentleman distinguished in an
unusal degree by long, faithful and
unselfish devotion to the Democratic
party. There are but few men in the
State Of more personal popularity than
Mr.. Furman. In the western part of
the State his nomination will be pecu.
liarly gratifying. For nearly quar-
ter of century he has given his voice
and pen to the support of every man
and measure calculated to promote the
deseiol'n.ent : f that region. His pub.
lie spirit WAS net bounded by county
or socti,'nal lines but extended to ev.
cry locality and interest in the State;
ard he is happy il having lived long
enough to see his fellow citizens i'll the
enjoyment of Il prosperity to which he
has So effeciually contributed, aud to
receive that reward which a generous
people will always bestow upon faith
ful and deserving servants He is es,
pecIally qualified by his ma ural tai
ents and familiarity with our State
policy for the duties of the office to
which lie has been nominated.
Robert NJ Furman vas born at
Louishurg in 1876, and is therefore
now 46 years old. He was educated
in the home schools of his native town.
He ear y in life was employed in bus
ines at Norfolk, Va, and at the uni
versai call to arms, entered the army.
He was lieutenant in the Junior Re
series. When little more than II
years of age, and in the latter years of
the war when service meant action,
did severe lanorious, brave and dam
gerous duty, enduring the hardships
Of the march, the privations of the
camp and the perils of the battle field.
His tastes led him to journalism and
he established a Democratic paper at
Louisburg. He came to Raleigh in
1870, and was engaged for two years
as reporter for the Raleigh Sentinel,
acquiring experience, enlarging his
political information, and maturing
his judgement. In 1872, he became
the owner of the Asheville Citizen and
thus to the Citizen was due the power
gained for the Democratic party in
Western North Carolina, and the
knowledge impressed upon the whole
party of the weight and value OF that
section. In 1876 he was elected Sec
rotary of the Senate. His first term
determined his value to that body and
never after has be been troubled by
the anxieties of reelection. His cleo
ton as his own successor has Away s
been foregone conclusion, an incom-
parable officer, courteous gentleman,
well informed statesman, an adroit
politician, the Senate has always in
advance, recognized his services as ir-
dispensable. He is row the editor of
the Democrat, the weekly paper he
publishes at Asheville.

THE BLAINE BOOM.

Mr.. Blaine's little game is puz-
cling the politicians. His con-
ferences with. anti-Harrison lead
ers, and the apparently authentic
announcement that he would
accept the Minneapolis nominal
ton, and at the same time de-
malls, that seem almost as au-
thentic, throw a veil of mystery
about the actions of the plnmed
knight.
Ii interviews and announce
ments may be taken as evidence
the preponderance is for his can
didacy, but the close observer
will scarcely give much credit to
the rumors that are afoat.
There is abundant proof that Mr..
Blaine is playing with the wires,
but probably, only to control
the situation in favor of some
one else.
His family and his most init
mate friends know that he is
physically, and perhaps, mental
ly incapacitated for the duties of
the presidency. Russell Harri-
son told the truth, though he
acted impudently, when he said
that his father has carried the
burden of the State Department
for two years. Notwithstand-
ing the talk about Blaine's i'm
proved health he is not a well
man and never will be again.
The men who ale engineering
the alleged Blaine boom are the
men who fought him in previous
contests. Even fit be true that
the man from Maine has consent
ed tomake the race, Platt, Clark
son, Quay & Co., arein desperate
straits to beat Harrison, to take
a man almost out IF his grave,
with the certainty of putting
there at an early day. But this
is the cold and clammy spirit of
politics. However if they persist
and "Barkis is willin' % Grover
Cleveland will have the distin-
guished honor of taking the
plumed knights scalp again and
of placing a flower on the grave
OF his way to the White House.

AND THE PRESIDENT thinks the
people lie has disappointed will
not oppose him at Minneapolis.
Perhaps that is because some of
the bosses he dealt out patron
age to have gone back on him.
Mr.. Harrison is laboring under "a
delusion. He ought to know
that the chief object of Repub-
LEANS existenceis toget office or
spoils of some sort, and is
against any condition of things
that stands in the way of this.

SOUTHERN LYNCHINGS

As the campaign draws nigh,
the old talk about Southern out
RACES is renewed by the sectional
papers of the North. AS Bishop
Fitzgerald of the Southern Meth
odist church said recently, no
word of sympathy is ever heard
for the victims of the brutes who
die by mob violence.
President Harrison recently re-
piled to a memorial from the
Virginia colored Baptist Conven-
ton, asking him to send a special
message to Congress in reference
to lynchings in the South. The
President condemns in strongest
terms mob violence of every sort
and promises to give the matter
his attention. But he does not
say one word about the suppress
of the unamable crime for which
brutes are lynched.
Prejudice is the soul of the Re
publican party and the partisan
press of the North will do any
thing to keep alive sectional ami
mostly. Fair minded people are
learning to estimate the efforts
ofthose who would stirup strife,
at their true value, and whether
North or South, no longer allow
their opinions to be shaped by
such molds.
In recent years many Northern
people have come South and they
have actually been surprised to
find civilization rather than bar
barism. InSouthern cities WHERE
the population is almost entirely
Northern people, Iynchings have
occurred and yankees have been
the leaders.
THE SENTINEL knows of at
least one instance where a south-
ern grand jury indicted northern
Republicans for melting a riot to
lynch a white man. Only one of
them has been tried and a hung
jury saved him from a years inn
prisonment. the jury standing
ten to two for conviction, and it
has been alleged that the two
jury men that saved him were
members of the mob.
The same people were implica-
ted in the lynching of negro but
as usual there was no proof of
guilt in the hands of tile grand
jury.
The negro who is law abiding
aud of coed behavior, is as sale
In the South as in the North.

poLK.s WILL DECLARED VOID.
The Presidents Attempt to Entail
Property Frustrated

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 81
Ex-President James K. Folks will
was declared null and void by Chan
cellor Allison yesterday morning,
aud the estate given to the heirs at
law. Polk left the home, consisting
ofseveral acres in the heart Of Nash
vile, to his wife, and after her death
to that relative who should be pro-
nounced "worlhiest relative bearing
the name of Polk, and on that
Folks death to successor similar
ly chosen by the governor of Ten
nessee.
Mrs. Polk died last year, and the
will was attacked as an attempt to
entail the property. Mr.. Tasker
Polk, of North Carolina, bringing
suit. This decision overturned the
will and gives the heirs at law the
property. 1t is worth probably
$500, 600.

TO NOMINATE BLAINE.

The news comes from an APP
parently authentic source that
the Republicans will lay the
grandson of his granddaddy on
the shelf, and nominate James
G.. Blaine for President, at Mine
apolis June Z.
Boss Platt is quoted as say
irg:
Gall that can prevent Blaine's NOM
ination now is his death or total disas
bility. Nothing that he can say in
advance of or during the convention
will stopit. The convention will NOM
mate him anyhow. He must decline
the actual tender of the nomination,
and nothing short of it, if he does not
wish to run. We do not believe he
will do that"
Quay, GARRISON, Cameron and
Platt are said to be the promot-
srs of this scheme.
A dispatch to Sundays Cincin-
natti Enquirer also gives color
to the story. Between John R.
Mclean, the editor and proprie
tor of that paper, and Mr.. Blaine
exist warm social relations and
Mr.. McLean's Washington cor
respondent telegraphs that Mr..
Blaine will be nominated and
make the race.
There is no doubt that Blaine
is the most popular man of his
party and could have the nomi
nation for asking, but this story
should be taken with much al
lowance.
If it is really true, and should
the plan be carried out, the NOM
inee for vice Pre- sident will stand
as good chance to live in the
White House as Mr.. Blaine. The
Secretary OF State is undoubted-
~ a weak man physically, and if
nominated and elected he will
not survive four years of the ex-
acting duties of the presidency.

TOO MUCH DEMOCRACY.

The Progressive Farmer crows
over the defeat ofGov. Holt, but
with allits buster about the vic
tory, which it alleges has been
won by the extreme Alliance
leaders, it is not sufficiently salts
fed with the results of the State
convention to endorseits action.
There was too much Democracy
in the convention, and the men
nominated are too true to the
great prin :iples of the party to
find favor at the hands of this
Third party organ. The editor
ial page of the Progressive Far
mer affords abundant evidence
ofthe fact that the well laid plans
Of the-Butler crowd have vanish
ed. If this paper was satisfied
all good Democrats would have
good reason to kick.
Here is what the Third party
organ says about the nominee
for Governor:
@For Mr.. Carr The Progressive
Farmer and every one connected with
IL entertain the highest personal re-
gard. When we remember that Mr.
Carr boldly proclaims that he is true
Allianceman, and that many of the
machine politicians have declared
that they would prefer Republican
to an Allianceman, we can but accept
his nomination as square out defeat
of the old machine.

"FAITH "

"Faith" is more often the topic
OF the minister than the newspa-
per writer, but THE SENTINEL
asks indulgence to deliver short
sermon, not on the theological
nature of the word, but on prac
teal business faith.
Faith and confidence are the
cohesive elements that hold the
religious, social and financial
worlds together. 1t does not re
quire a logical process to prove
Thu. 1t is plain TO every intelli-
gent man.
For the building of a new town,
for the rennov ating of an old
one, for the success of any bust
ness enterprise the first and most
important thing to be done is
the crea ton of faith in it's sue
cess. To perpetuate progress
aith must be perpetuated.
When home people lose conf
dence in their own town nobody
else is expected to have faith in
its future. When home capital
is timid, outside capital will be
shy. When home people lack en-
terprise AMI hustle, the enter
prising and hustling will be at
tracted to a more cOngenial at
mosphere. When home people
croak and growl about hard
times, outsiders will delight to
gloat over your bnrsted boom, if
you ever have made any show of
progress.
Conservatism is a good thing
everywhere and especially in
financial affairs. But how many
deluded creatures there are who
can't distinguish timidity from
conservatism.
When home people talk up their
town at every opportunity, and
keep their shoulders to the wheel
every thing moves. When home
people show their faith by their
works, when they plan and carry
out gigantic enterprises, they at
tract the attention of outsiders
and create confidence. tits bold
and daring strokes that win adj
miration and substantial sup
port in this day of progress. The
man who risks nothing, the man
who hasn't enough faith in his
town or his business to put his
money in it literally, must step
aside for the who has the nerve.
The town that lacks the pow
er of bold conception and the
nerve for daring execution-and
these are begotten by faith only
must continue t., plod along in
time worn ruts.
