In conversation he declared
that New York; ballot would

that the President would

lot.
"The New York situation
has been greatly eXaggerat-
ed," said he, "and there isno
quarrel there. Tammany is
not fighting Grover Cleve-
land. When the time comes,
you will find the New York
delegation supporting Cleye-
land"
Mr.. Dickinson declined to
answer the question whether
he had met any of the New
York leaders, but his manner

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

as ifthe Blaine shadow, which
crosses his p a t h at every
turn, were not cross enough
for any ordinary President
to bear. Secretaries Foster
and Elklns, who have jointly
managed Mr.. Harrison's ca IN
paign for denomination up to
this time, now threaten to
desert him and cast their in
fuence with the opposition.
The cause of this revoltis the
return to t h is country of
John G. New, who comes for
the purpose of taking the full
control OF the Harrison force,
making Foster and Elkins
merely subordinate figures
during the remainder OF the
fight. If the threat is carried
out, goodbye to Mr.. Harri-
sons hopes.
The sudden death of Sena-
tor Barbour, Of Virginia, on
Saturday orning from
heart failure, is a loss to his
State, his party and his
country, that will long be
felt. As a party leader he
has had no superior in his
State, and few in the nation;
as a Senator his long expert
ence in public life gave him a
prestige which the ablest men
can in no other way acquire,
a prestige that was valua ble
to his State and to his party,
and which was never used for
his personal advantage. Per-
sonally he was, as Senator
Mcmillan said, "My ideal OF
the perfect gentleman" and
liked by all who knew him.

Democracy Newly Defined.
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington MeSseISer.
What is a democrat and
how? The answer may be
given accordingto recent de-
velopments as follows: He is
a man who secretly strives to
injure and split the old par
ty with which he has been
Identified; who favors trans
forming the national govern
ment into a huge pawn bro
ker,s shop to lend money at
2 percent to farmers upon
perishable property, W h e n
said government is already
heavily in debt, and paying
4 per cent interest on hun
dreds of millions of dollars;
who favOrs class legislation
in essence; who goes for a
consolidated strong govern
ment with all his might; who
believes it is constitutional,
right, just, honorable, safe,
and wise to take possession
OF twenty thousand million
dollars Of private property
and let the great centralized
power and despotism own it
after issuing bonds topay for
it to run through the ages;
who believes it is right to
thus rob and oppress one
great class OF people number
ing a million or more, inclu-
ding theemployees of the OWE
ers; who believe in piling up
Sc veIal hundred millions of
debt upon North Carolina
SO poor now it cannot edu-
cate its children, but play at
ito give the ownership of
rilroads, ETC., to The giant
Federal government; who be-
llieves in expressing many
classes OF people for the sole
benefit OF one class; who be-
hrves in paying the Federal
soldiers who fought the South
in gold; who think it for the
good of the South to divide
the sole constitutional Union
party in the S u t h-the
grand old democratic party
that the republican oppress-
ors, who favor grinding tax
rs and Bayunett bills for the
South, may again triumph
and hold the control OF the
government in perpetuity:
vino think it the sublimity of
pa triotism, the perfection OF
loyalty, the acme OF honor,
the most admirable exhibit
tion of Judgment, sense, Wis
dom and segacity ia split up
into antagonizing factions
the White Mans Party in
North Carolina that the ne
gro party and their scalla-
wag wire-pullers may once
more ruin the State, oppress
and rob the whites, and play
over again the old game of
spoliation and great debts
that was 8 successfully play
ed in the carpet-bag days be-
tween 1866 and 1879.
That is clearly q needle !
definition OF democracy now.
There are men, no doubt, in
every county in North Caro-
lima, former democrats in
Euam-, who are Illustrating ev.
cry particular named above
in their ,omnlunistic, wild
cat schemes OF wrong. They
pass as democrats to-day.
