The Durham daily globe. (Durham, N.C.) 1889-1894, 1892-09-22

l. My DEAR SIR-Enclosed find address
of SENATOR VANCE to the people of
| North Carolina. 1t is desired that it ap'
pear Thursday morning in the daily press
of the state. | am,
Very respectfully yours,
f. NJ. SIMMONS, Chm'n.
The enclosure consisted of about ~
or three columns of good, sound, demo-
cratic doctrine, embracing an address Of
Hon. ZEB VANCE, one of CLEyELAND's
strongest supporters in the Tar Heel
state.
THE GLOBE, however, not wishing to
| iniure the democratic party, since it has
been repudiated and officially notified
that it's utterances are untrue, would re-
greet to throw off on such an honest and
honorable gentleman as the Hon. ZEBU-
LON B. VANCE.
Is it not Inconsistent and insulting for
the democratic party to ask a newspaper,
which it has denounced and renowned,
and in the denunciation and remuneration
| said that its utterances are untrue, to still
insist that it print stuff favorable to the
| causes.
SO far as the election of GROVER
CLEVELAND is concerned, whether read
out of the party, voted out of the party,
or kicked out of the party, we propose
to manfully, bravely and fearlessly adyo-
cate his platform.
The New York Morning Advertiser,
referring to the same outfit that is now
begging space in our columns, in yester-
day mornings paper said:
The democratic bosses of North Caro-
lima have clapped a muZzle on THE DUR
HAM GLOBE. It's editors adulation Of
CLEVELAND as the man who slapped the
pension beggars in the face" has been

himself cannot be obliterated. That re-
cord shows that he never had the slightest
sympathy with the soldiers of the Union
army. lie never spoke a kindly word of
them, and he never lost a chance, while
president, to veto a pension bill, usually
with sneers and c~ontemptuous i%nuendoes.
Wo Iociro Of th;c +;poo 70 COW that
within the last five days hundreds Of
democrats, and the most able in the state,
including generals, colonies, captains and
privates in the confederate army, and
whose names we have permission to use,
have cOmplimented and congratulated
the editor of The GLOBE on his utter
ances concerning the "incompetent, cor
rupt, disgraceful and dishonest" admin
istratiOn of the pension office under
republican rule. Nor was this all. They
have told us that when we charged that
the lousy, dirty, sneaking, disreputable
and damnable ~scoundrels who have fast
ened themselves upon the pension rolls
Of this country, were murderers, thieves,
~incendiaries and libertines, that we told
the solid, honest truth.
And when we said that there were half
as many thieves and men who raped and
]plundered the South, on the pension rolls
to-day, as there we're in the p~enitentia-
ries Of a dozen states, we only told the
truth.
We believe that to every honorable
Union soldier who fought for his coun-
try and received an honorable wound
should receive a liberal and compassion
ate pension. But we do not believe, and
no SIMMONS and no Young Mems Demo
cratic clubs can hold our peace when
the truth is wanted or through a lot of
e%nvious, treacherous, designing and jeal-

When the great HENRY WARD
BEECHER wrote GROVER CLEVELAND,
asking him about certain alleged moral
~laXities in which the famous MARIA
HALrIN figured honest GROVER CLEvE-
land, and as brave as he is honest, sent
back TO the great Brooklyn divine the
brief but comprehensive message
Tell The Truth.
And so THE DURHAM DAILY GLOBE
has tried 10 tell the truth.
Yet when it tried 10 tell the truth and
