GOLDSBORO, N. c.. MARCH 8, 1898
CLEVELAND AND DEMOCRACY.

March 4th, 1898, will forever be
a memorable day in the immortal
history Ct the Democracy of the
land.
With retirement from power of
over thirty years, with an excep-
ton of four years, it has again
assumed the reins of Government
under the most remarkable cir
cumstances.~
Not only is it returned to power
by the most overwhelming political
revolution ever known in the hiss
tory of the country, but under the
most unique and peculiar experts
ences and conditions that have
ever existed since the foundation
of the Government,
Grover Cleveland, it's great
leader thrice nominated for the
Presidency, defeated for the second
successive term, has again been
called by the people and restored
to power by tremendous popular
acclaim .He is the emily President of
the United States who has ever
enjoyed this distinction and he
again assumes the Presidency with
the unbounded confidence of the
whole country.
1t requires but a coursory glance
al his inaugural address to see that
he has not departed from the grand
cardinal principles of Government
that SO OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES first
administration and gave The COINS
try four years of remarkable peace
and business prosperity.
His views on the Tariff and the
Monetary questions are the same.
His remarkably sound judgment
and seeming precedence of govern
ment have given the masses of the
people undisputed confidence in
his wisdom and craftsmanship and
there is every evidence that even
those of his views, which we're re-
ceived with doubt and instruct
before, will be more popularity
accepted during this second term,
Great is Democracy, and great
is Grover Cleveland, its leader and
impersonation.
