NOT AT ALL.


Down in North Carolina they are denouncing
CLEVELAND as a gold bug, a dissembler. a
friend of rich men and a man whose sympa-
| thies are with the Snobocracy. This is terrible.
If the feeling grows the people around Dur
ham may stun an old bedtick with hay, label
it GROVER CLEVELAND and publicly incine:ate
| the same New York Morning Advertiser.
No, no. Not at all. The people down
| in this country are not of the kind and
| style of those in the northern states who
have burned CLEVELAND in efigy. We
have too much respect for decency down
here. But it may be stated that the PEG
pie of North Carolina have wearied of
CLEvELAND's ~snobocracy; they have tired
| of his one man power-of his idea, which
is Internal, that himself and not the peo,
| pie should achieve victories.
Just the other day the Washington Post
said:
The outcome of the fight is a great personal
preston was on every lip at the capitol yester-
day as soon as it was thoroughly understood
that unconditional repeal was on the road to a
vote. Against the most formidable obstacles
and in the face of an opposition in his own
party which was as large numerically as his
adherence. he has brought the entire senate to
his feet. He convened congress to pass an IN
conditional repeal bill, and it l .oks as if con-
gress would do as he desires.
And after all, is Mr.. CLEVELAND merely
president to achieve personal victories =?
Are the people whom he is supposed to
serve no longer in it? What does it
mean-that a servant Of the people
chosen by the people to do what they de-
sire, asserts his own sordid wishes and
tells the people to be damned?
1t looks to US like this, and the way it
looks to us others tell US that they nave
seen it the same.
CLEVELAND rode into power on a plat
form which met popular approval, but
he never stood upon the platform.
He has been from the start of his last
wild mad term of power, a man who has
snubbed and repudiated the masses of the
country.
He has evidently tied up with the Wall
street brokers.
He has cruised on a yatch belonging TO
a millionaire speculator in Wall street
and the story is that he has been enriched.
He has thrown away all ~pretentions
to assisting the farmer, for whom he
shed so many crocodile tears in the not
so very remote past, and he appears to
day as a car, a dictator-as a man who
will ruin if he cannot control.
When we take this creature, and he is
n whom blind and eyeless chance has
made, and wonder upon what meat he
feeds that he has grown so great, we
must conclude hat Wall street and its
wonderful porus plasters of gold are be-
hind the Man of Destiny-the man who
would not fight for his country the man
who employed a substitute and who re-
fused to fight for anything.
THE GLOBE once admired CLEVELAND
for the enemies he had made.
But when we see him s%traddling him
self and falling into the ranks and the
lines of the money changers in the Wall
street temple, we, with a decent majority
Of the people of North Carolina, desire to
wash our hands of any such ilk
He is a big man-his stomach measures
yards We are told-but the depth aud
bredth and width of his brain can be
measured in a gallon vessel of good rye
liquor.
GROVER CLEVELAND has disappointed
those who made him great, and that is
the worst Of all. Ingratitude, even in
alleged greatness makes people who are
really honest, very weary.
