INDIANA ExoURs1oN1srs.

The SENTINEL is glad to welcome
to North Carolina and to the Pied
mont section of North Carolina, a
large number of Democratic excur-
sionists from Indiana. These excur-
sionists came in Monday over the
Norfolk and Western road. They
are all of them either native North
Carolinians or decendents of families
which emigrated from this State to
Indiana.
1t will be remembered that there
was in the early part of this century
and indeed up to the sixties, a very
decided tendency in North Carolina
toward immigration to Illinois and
Indiana. The writer has often heard
citizens ofVirginia and Tennessee de :.
scribe the professions of ''prairie
schOoners' which passed through the
States bound north westward The
caravans were in charge of sturdy
farmers. One Of the most frequent
answers to the query of the curious
OnlOOker was said to be 'Oh, we're
from Buncombe county, North China,
and we ara going to Indiany" But
from whatever pointin the old North
State these emigrants started, and
they emigrated from the entire Vest
ern portion, they always became
most sturdy and honored citizens of
their adopted State. The SENTINEL
is not as well posted on this phase of
North Carolina history as it could
wish, but we known that there was a
decided exodus to Indiana about
1854, '55 and Sc, and also in 1866,
'67 and '6S.
We welcome to Winston and to
North Carolina the ladies and gentle
men who are now in our midst. We
welcome them because they are pa
triotic American citizens; we welcome
them because they are allDemocrats,
but we welcome them most because
they ever cherish in their hearts
warm place for old North Carolina.

MIR. CLEVELAND DENIES.
He Finds 1t Necessary to Nail a Cam.
Raipn lie

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 4. Grover
Cleveland has written to Clark How
ell, one of the National COMMITTEES
men of Georgia, a letter in which he
nails one of Tom Watson's campaign
lies. 1t reads as follows:
GRAY GABLES,
BUzzARD'S BAY, Mass, Sept. p.
Clark Howell, Jr Constitution, At
lanta, Ga:
DEAR SIR have been fairly bonn
barded for the last two or three weeks
by the reports of the falSehOOds which
are being circulated by the Peoples
party orators in Georgia and other
Southern States, calculated to preju-
dice me in the minds of the Southern
people. The latest report comes to
me from Gainesville, in your State.
this evening, and represents Candi-
date Thomas e. Watson as saving In a
public speech that Mrs. Cleveland re-
fused to attend the unwilling of the
statue of Robert E. Lee because she
feared she would there meet Miss
Winnie DAVIS.
This is entirely a new fabrication.
A number of the others have to do
however, with alleged refusals of my
wife or myself to be introduced TIC
Miss Davis, SC. Another public
source of falSehoOdS of the stupideSt
description is in regard to nay treat
ment of Frederick Douglass while ]
was President and he was register OF
deeds in Washington. There are
some others which / do not definitely
recal. These all seem to be circulat-
ed by active opponents of the Democ-
racy, and their purpose is of course
apparent. l have not thought it ne
ceSsary to deny these except in a very
few cases. l have thought that when
they assumed proportions worthy OF
attention [ would, perhaps, hear from
you OF. some one who like you under
stands well tile current of Southern
thought on the subject.
Such Misrepresentation irritating
and exceedingly monStrous. Not one
single statement which | have seen of
the kind above referred to has any
truth in it Whatever, except this,
that when Frederick Douglass was in
public office in the city of Washing
ton, l, as President of the United
States, extended to him the same
courtesies, as far as public receptions
and matters of that kind are concern
ed, which were extended to other off,
Gals of the same grade. This, of
course, was his due as a matter of
official decency and etiquette, and |
should have been ashamed to treat
him otherwise.
If in your judgment you think it
well to make the denial above refer
red to you are at liberty to do SO in
any way you think best.
Very truly yours,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

HARRITY HOPEFUL.
He Believes In a Solid South and
Large Western Gains.


Large Western Gains.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 4.-Referring
to the present political conditions,
Chairman Harrity, who is on short
visit to his family here, said to re-
porter:
81 regard the outlook for Demo
cratic success as particularly bright.
| should say that Mr.. Cleveland has
not less than seven chances out of ten
to be elected. The campaign in New
York is in good shape, and the stu
alton there is improving every day.
Lieutenant Governor Sheehan, who
is chairman of the Democratic Cam
paign Committee of the State of New
York, has an efficient organization,
with united party at it's back
1.-The Democrats of Indiana are in
better state of organization than they
have been at any time since 1884, when
they carried the State for Cleveland
and Hendricks. Governor Gray is
among those who are leading the fight
telling effect. OF course Connecti-
cut will be all right.
1--WE feel certain of our ability to
carry all of the Southern States" said
Mr. Harrity. Notwithstanding the
claims of Republican managers in
some of those States. Tie situation
in Alabama was serious, but the lat
est news from that State satisfies us
that we shall carry it for Cleveland
and Stevenson, and of favorable
result in West Virginia we have no
doubt.
Our friends in Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Illinois and Iowa, as we'll as those
in Massachusetts, New Hampshire
and Rhode Island, are doing splendid
work, and l believe we shall get cleo
toral votes from more than one of
those States.
'"Then, too, the Weaver electoral
ticket is likely to win in several of the
far Western States, thus depriying
Harrison and Reid of that many cleo
torial votes. Altogether we feel much
encouraged, and we fail to see that
anything material will occur within
the next five weeks to change the sit
uation to the prejudice of the Demo-
cratic candidates.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.
An Encouraging Factor is the Pros
pective Corn Crop.

New YORK, Oct. 4.-The virtual
stamping out of cholera in the harbor
and the city of New York and it's
comparatively, rapid abatement in
Europe has had gratifying effect in
removing the partial paralysis tina
had seized upon important trading in
terests.
Another factor, having an impor-
tant bearing upon a wide range of
stocks, is the improved prospects of
the corn crop. The fact that lateness
of the planting season might throw
the maturing of the crop into the
period of frost has been in large
measure removed. The crop is matur-
ing rapidly. and well and, taken as a
whole, may be considered as having
reached point at which light frost
would benefit rather than injure it.
This is very gratifying assurance to
our vast corn belt, and places in a
better position the large railroad in
terests depended upon this cereal.

AGAINST Hnrrison Now.

Mr.. Lucius B. Swift, of Indianap-
oils, a friend of President Harrison,
and editor of the Civil Service Reform
Chronicle, voted for Mr. Harrison in
1888 because he thought that under
Mr.. Harrison's administration civil
service reform would be better pro-
NOTED than under Mr.. Cleveland's s.
He has since had reason to change
his mind, and he supports Mr.. Cleve
land this year for the same reason
that he supported Mr.. Harrison four
years ago. In the October number
of The Forum he sums up the record
of the two administrations in refer
ence to the civil service.

OVATION FOR CLEVELAND.
HG Speaks at the Democratic Club
Convention.
SYMPATHY FOR MR.. HARRISON.

The Resolution that it Should be Ex-
pressed was Offered by a North
Carolina Delegate-It was Unani-
mously Adopted-Mr Cieveland's
Good Advice About Organization
New YORK, Oct. 1.-THE Quadren-
NAL Convention of Democratic clubs
began in the Academy of Music this
morning. Four Thousand delegates
and many spectators were present.
The proscenium boxes were occupied
by Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.. Whitney, and
Cleveland entered the hall the cheer
ing was tumultuOuS and when he was
introduced to the convention after
the opening speech by President
Chauncey Black the chairs were re-
newed ahd the eX-PreSident received
an ovation. When the cheers subsid-
ed Mr.. Cleveland, in a clear, ringing
voice and speaking without notes,
made short address which was fire.
quently interrupted by cheers.
MIR. Cleveland praised the purposes
OF the league and impressed upon the
convention the work before it. He
said there was bright promise of re-
form but that unorganiZed good inten-
tions and idle patriotic aspirations
could not successfully contend for the
mastery with the compact forces of
private interests and greed, nor was
that organization always the most
useful which had the widest extent
but the real benefit of political organi-
zation was found in it's nearness to the
people and in the directness of it's ac-
tions. Harmony and unity of purpos-
es were absolutely essential. At the
conclusion of Mr. Clnvolan1'c cnaaab
the cheering was renewed.
Routine business was then taken
up. A delegate from North Carolina
offered a resolution extending sympa-
thy to President Harrison in the ILL
ness of his wife. 1t was adopted
unanimously. At 1910 the convention
took recess.

FRUIT CANNING

Fruit land is generally of higher
value than other farming land. Near
CenterviIle, Cal. five acre tract was
recently sold for $4,000 Near Hay
wards ten acre tracts are rated at
$3.50 to $500 per acre. An average
of $4,000 a year may be made du-
ring the first ten years, and good
productive orchards sell at 1000
per acre. Fruit land in Forsyth
county can be bought for less than
$50 per acre. Now, a man who has
been in California writes the SENTI-
MEL that North Carolina is as we'll
located for fruit raising and for the
canning business as California, and
there is no reason why this State
should not be as prosperous in this
industry as California. Nearness to
market and cheap freights are adj
vantages here which are denied to
the Californians. The establishment
OF a new canning factory in Winston
would soon improve the value of all
good fruit land in this section; it
would also bring about..a desirable
diversity of industries. Suppose a
factory turning out 10000 cans per
day and making net profit of one
cent per can; this would be 1000
month. Such plant will only
cost 81, 900 and will work 200 hands.
Statistics for 1890 show a profit
throughout the United States of 40
cents net per can. 1t seems that
Winston could with profit to itself
and surrounding country encourage
an industry of this nature.

THE Republicans are so put to it
that they are resorting to the send

denial of the false interview attribu-
ted to Hon. j. G. Buxton, which has
been telegraphed from Winston to
the Philadelphia Times, the Wash
ington Post, the New York World,
and the Associated and United Press
services for general dissemination,
will cause the lie to be a boomerang
to the corrupt party which manufac-
tured it.
