Mr.. Watterson Says 1t Will Meet the
Republicans at Every Point.
CHICAGO, June 22.-Henry Waiter.
son, the editor of the Courier-J our.
nal, was found in his room at the
Palmer somewhat averse to any dis
cussion of the silver plank or any
other feature of the Democratic plat.
form.
81 have been held responsible for sc
many platforms with which l had
nothing whatever to do" said he
''that think have the right to ask
the press to wait until our platform
is made before they come to get my
views upon contingencies. Yes, we
will have silver plank which will, ]
think, meet the views of our friends
in the silver States and at the same
time justify the expectation which
the people of the country entertain
as to our position on the question OF
coinage The solution of the prob
lem is easy, because we simply apply
Democratic touch-stones to it. The
platform will undoubtedly take
strong grounds against the Mckinley
tariff and the nefarious Force bill, and
in word, can be depended upon to
meet the Republicans at every point.
We will urge conservative bi-metal-
ism, tariff reform and sound Democ.
racy in every part of the Government,
and upon these issues we win sweep
the country"

THIRD PARTY CONVENTIONS

The Third party county con-
ventions, of which THE SENTINEL
recently gave accounts, were
sowed and brought forth Third
party district conventions in
most of the congressional dis
tricts, Thursday. They were
slimly attended and not enthus-
iast;c.
At Asheville the delegates to
the Omaha convention were: J.
G. Yancey, of Mcdowell; A. M.
Parker, of Jackson; w. H. Ma
lone, of Buncombe; Rev. w. A.
Robertson, of Yancey.
Malone is a Republican.
At salisbury the Omaha dele
CATION consists of II. A. Forney,
of Catawba; J. M. Parks, of Ire
dell; Ped Thomas, of Davidson;
A. M. Leazer, of Rowan.
Ped Thomas is the illiterate
agitator who ran against Con-
gresham John S. Henderson at
the lastelection, on fusion tick
ct composed of all known politi-
cal parties, except the Demo-
cratic.
Half of the Rockingham dele
gates of fifteen were Republicans,
two of whom were negroes! This
fact alone is sufficient to show
that the Republican wolf has
put on the sleeps clothing of the
Peoples Party. w. Fl. Odom
was elected the Omaha delegate.
At Lenoir R. L. Patton, of
Burke, and independent candi-
date was endorsed for Congress.
W. W. league, was chosen presi-
Dental elector and L. N. Dur
ham, of Cleveland; A. G. Thomp-
son, of CASTOR; w. W. league, of
Alexander, and r. A. Cobb, of
Burke, elected delegates to
Omaha.
At Durham, W. r. Lindsay, of
of Rockingham, was nominated
the Third Party Congressman
receiving sixty-six votes, against
twenty-four cast for Congress
man A. FL. A. Williams.
There were Republican speak
ers in some of the conventions
who were attentively listened to,
and in one, at Rockingham, the
chairman was Republican. All
of which goes to show that Third
Party success in North Carolina
would only mean republican con-
troll and negro rule. But it will
never be. The Third Party isn't
respectable enough now for the
Farmers Alliance to associate

A LETTER FROM HILL.
Appears in Good Time to Catch t
Western Silver Votes

Appears in Good Time to Catch the
Western Silver Votes.
Topeka. Kan, June 2O.-The fol-
lowing letter from Gov. D. B. Hill
was received by Mr.. Charles K. Hol-
liday, Jr., of this city, proprietor of
the Kansas Democrat, and Worlds
Fair commissioner for Kansas, in
December last. 1t contained some
matters of a quasi personal nature
and hence Mr.. Holiday did not feel
at liberty to publish it then 1t
makes it clear that Senator Hill If
elected President would not veto an
adequate free coinage bill if passed
by Democratic Congress. The let
ter reads as follows:
State of New York, Elk. Chamber
ALBANY, N. Y, Dec %, 1891.
70 Charles K Holiday, Jr.,
Topeka, Kansas
Dear Sir: For reply to your letter
of the 24th, | enclose reprint of my
speech at Elmira on the 9Th, which I
intend TO confirm and reiterate in a
short farewell address as Governor
of New York next Thursday, new
year eve. My faith is unsuitable in
the sound common sense of our fell
low countrymen. They well know
that the Democratic party at the
present time is the sole efficient in
strument for tax reform and none
tary reform. They will not recon
NIT their interests in the Republican
party which has just made both
reforms our supreme necessity. The
Democratic party might as well com
NIT suicide as shirk either duty, nor
will It betray the peoples trust by
allotting the executive power to any
man whose views are similar to the
views of President Harrison, and
who is pledged like men to block
every approach to free bimetalic
coinage. 1t is scandalcus misuse
OF executive power to employ the
veto In preventing remedial legisla
ton from being carefully planned
and passed when the great majority
of the peoples representative have
been elected by the people expressly
for that very work, to repeal the
Sherman silver law and to promote
the return to free bimetallic coin
age.
l am-inoignant at the rapacity of
the monometallists, so reckless both
of science and public opinion. Free
bimetalic coinage is the demand of a
vast majority of the American peo-
pie. No wonder it gave US the party
of the silver dollar and the gold dol
lar for eighty years
Free blmetallic coinage is the last
work of monetary science. To res
tore it safely, wisely anG finally is
the mission of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Harrison compels US to submit
to inaction during the prese 1T exec
utiye term. That l hope may be
the limit of our inaction during the
present executive term. That I hope
may be the limit of our inaction.
His friends believe that he is not a
hypocrite. He will not recant or
suppress his conscientious scruples
to get a second to him. He and Mr.
Blaine will fuss up an international
conference for delay. That is
State article. One consequence of
our enforced inaction will be that
the financial portents and threatened
disasters fast approaching will be
seen by all to be caused by past and
present Republican wrongs, not by
future Democratic remedies.
Yours truly,
DAVID B. HILL.

STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

The SENTINEL publishes in to-
days issue a letter from Prof.
Edwin A. Alderman to the Char
lotte Observer in which he an
nounces that steps will be taken
10 establish a State Historical
Society at the approaching ses-
sion of the Teachers Assembly
at Morehead. The date fixed for
the meeting of those interested
in historical work in this State
is June %.
There is in existence a North
Carolina Historical Society with
headquarters at the State Uni
versity, and of which DIR. Kemp
P. Battle, of the chair of History
there, is president. But if the
State Historical Society is mac e
intercollegiate in character, as
is proposed, much more effective
work can be done.
1t seems almost a platitude to
say that no State in the Union is
richer in historical resources than
ours. 1t has been said so often
that it has become weary by re-
petition.
DO we look for patriotism and
resistance to tyranny? Wehave
the record of the men of Mecklen-
burg, and of the Regulators.
Do we look for gallantry? We
point to Kings Mountain and
to Guilferd Court House. We
point to the statistics which
show that North Carolina re-
ported 115, 900 fighting men for
the Confederacy at its birth and
at it's death reported 125, 900 in
active service during the fratrici-
dial strife.
Do we look for adventure? We
point t., the State of Franklin.
Do welook for the mysterious?
We point to the Roanoke colony
and the Croatans.
Do we look for the unique?
We claim the first woman born
in the new world.
Do we look for the romantic?
We had Flora Mcdonald.
Do we look for missionary
movements? Wehave the Nora
VANS and their history.
In spite of poverty, we have a
University and many useful insti
tutions of learning. North Car
DINA has made more history and
got less credit for it than any
other State in the Republic. THE
SENTINEL would be glad to see
the young people, and especially
the young ladies assisting in this
work.
In this connection THE SENTI-
MEL must commend the excellent
historical sketch of Salem by
Miss Adelaide Fries. The COM
pleteness of the narrative is en-
livened at intervals by descrip-
tive touches, as for instance, of
the former night-watchman of
Salem and illusions to the quaint
old towns ghost stories. The
will be an addition to the
State Historical Library.

FOR JUDGE NINTH DISTRICT:

THE PEOPLES CHOICE.

Tt is Cleveland!
The greatest living representa-
tive of Democracy has been de
signated as the party's stand
ard bearer in the coming cam
paign, and the enthusiasm which
greeted his nomination will
spread like a contagion through
this great republic, until Grover
Cleveland is again master OF thu
White House, and Mrs Cleveland
again the ''first La of the
land" e
Never before has such a com
pliment been paid to an Ameri
can citizen as was paid Cleveland
at 3:44 O'Clock this morning
when he received GIG votes upon
the first ballot, more than two.
thirds of the whole number pres
ent. Never before has an Ameri-
can citizen received, as Grover
Cleveland has, a third successive
nomination to the Presidency OF
the United States.
In the national convention OF
the Republican party, which
shortly preceded the Democratic
convention, a man was nOnlina-
ted by the influence of politicians
whom he has placed in Office. The
most dubious methods were en-
ploved to secure that nominal
ton. Bribery was resorted to,
especially among the negro dele
gates. This nominee " as a mar
row man, hating one section OF
his country and thinking that he
was thus doing God service He
was nominated against the pop
ular idol of his party, against
a broad man, one opposed to
sectionalism, one who had saved
his party by OPPORTUNITY amend
ing its. strongest doctrine when
the nation was turning against
it. 49,.
The Democratic convention
profted by its predecessors err
ror's. No sooner were under
handed methods attempted than
they were promptly tabooed.
Tue work done for the respective
candidates was done openly. If
delegations were hesitating, they
were addressed in open session
in favor ef1alI the candidates,
but were not tampered with on
the sly. Mr.. Cleveland, tits said,
especially demanded a clean man
agement in his behalf at Chica-
60. He was not "the machine"
candidate in anyusense.
Mr., Cleveland is said by some
Co be. O. narrow man. By
this it invariably meant that
he is not an f'expediency" adyo-
cate, and the people endorse this
very narrowness. But when it
comes co honesty and courage
of conviction, Mr.. Cleveland is
as broad as the distance from
East to West, The. people de
manded his nomination as "a
broad man. r. and they will elect
him because he is such a narrow
man and such d broad man.

CHICAGO, June 23.-The nomination
was made on the first ballot at 3:44
this morning.

Boies, 103; German, 36k; Stevenson,
16z; Carlisle, 16; Morrison, 5 Camp
bell, 2; Pattison, 1 Whitney, L; and

| The demonstrations which greeted
the announcement of votes for
Cleveland was hailed with vociferous
| cheering. Other candidates came in
for good share, but il was nothing
| compared to that which Cleveland's
| name received. AS the ex Presi-
dents vote kept climbing, up the
| applause increased, and when
| what was never doubted be-
came doubly sure, that Cleve-
land had received the neces ;ary
two thirds, the enthusiasm knew no
bounds. 1t was simply indescribable.
Men shouted till they were hoarse
and then shouted in whispers. Ban
ners were waved. Portraits of the
great leader were everywhere display
ed, and it seemed as if the convention
would never subside and sit down.
And yet when the official vote was
announced, a similar scene tookplace
and the convention went wild again.
The following specials were received
by THE SENTINEL last night:
CALLED TO ORDER.
CHICAGO, June 22.-The convention
was cilled to order this afternoon at
SIS O'Clock. The anti Cleveland
men claim that they will muster $50
votes against him on the first ballot.
They are growing desperate and are
still working for anything to defeat
the ex-President. They made mo-
ton to adjourn until IL a. m. to-
morrow shortly after converting but
it was lost by a large majority.
The platform committee is not yet
ready to report.
OHIO FOR BRICE.
An Ohio delegate says Ohio's vote
may be cast for Brice on the first bal
lot, but fifteen of the Ohio Cleveland
ties will stick to him.
CHEERING CLEVELAND.
The cheering for Cleveland lasted
nineteen minutes. The hall presented
a wild scene of confusion. Hats were
tossed in the air and handkerchiefs
waved. Banners of the ex-President
were conspicuously displayed.
Brice, of Ohio, says Ohio's vote
will not be cast for Cleveland on the
first ballot. Campbell, he says, will
get it. 1t is said that an anti
Cleveland sentiment Is growing
among the delegates.

Grover Cleveland was born in
Caldwell, N. j., March IS, 1887.
Shortly after, his father, Presbyte

New York. It was before the days
of railroads, and the journey was
made by schooner up the Hudson to
Albany, and thence by packet on
the Erie Canal.
Young Grover was pursuing his
academic studies when his fathers
death left him at sixteen, without a
dollar to continue his education.
Having made several efforts to earn
his living, he borrowed $25 and

Deadly Explosion on Steamboat In ths
Potomac River

WASHINGTON, Oct, 81. = The steam
chimney of the steamboat Wakefield,
belonging to the Potomac Steamer COM
pany, blew up yesterday and killed three
men, possibly four, and more or less
seriously injured three others The boat
was on her return trip to Washington,
and when off Maryland Point, about
fifty miles down the river, the accident
happened. Alexander Tolman and James
johnson, colored firemen, were instantly
killed by flying fragments, and William
Clark, a colored bootblack, was blown
off the boat aud drowned. Another col
ored man is missing, ana it is feared he
met the fate of the bootblack.
Il. l.. Germond (white), an assistant
engineer, was badly bruised about the
head and arms. He was taken to his
home in Alexandria. William Motley
and William Carney, colored deck
hands, were badly scalded and otherwise
injured. They were brought TO WASH
ington and are now at Providence hos
pital.
The Wakefield was only slightly dam
aged and soon after the accident 1t was
towed to landing forty miles from
Washington. The Wakefield was used
principally as freight boat, stopping Mt
all the Potomac river landings for dis
tance of eigbty-ive miles down, but oc-
casionally transported passengers.
