THE HON. BOCRKE COCHRAN.

One of the most ardent Democrats
of New York is the Hon. Bourke
Cochran. He is, too, one of the
most conspicuous ana influential
men in Congress. Congressman
Cochran WAS a lively opponent of Mr..
Cleveland prior to the nomination.
He said some hard things against
the popular candidate, and those
who knew him only as a fighter
feared that he would never be on
friendly terms with the Cleveland
administration. But Cochran is a
man of high honor and is full of the
true party spirit. Some of Mr..
CleVeland's old opponents were sus-
pected of not being as desirous of
the candidates election as they said
they were. But no one who knew
MIR. Cochran doubted for one no.
menL his loyalty to the ticket. He
was bold and honest fighter, but
worked honestly and faithfully for
Mr.. Clevelands election, and to-day
Mr.. Cleveland has few more enthus-
iastic supporters than he is.
This is Cockran's latest utterance
on the subject:
81 know Of DO quarrel between
Mr.. Crocker aud Mr., Hill. If there
has been one | have heard nothing
Of it. l do know that any enemy Of
Mr.. Cleveland cannot be friendly
with the New York Democracy. |
believe that the future of the Dem
ocratic party lies with Mr.. Cleve-
land. He has put that party where
it is to-day. He has already
proved himself the man of the party,
and the New York Democracy will
support him III every way. That I
know. The idea that any Democrat
from this State is going to embarrass
Mr.. Cleveland's administration in
any way is absurd. We are all with
Mr.. Cleveland, and will do all in
our power to aid him in his admin
istration,

pressly to see Mr.. Cleveland, but l

Executive Patronage.

Editor 4rgus: s:-Tm not insensible
of the fact, ttat the exercise by the
President, Of the above caption to
this article is no easy task, and will
by no mears prove to HIM to be a
'bed Of rcses.'' No indeed, but very
far from it. And why? Because of
several very we'll established reasons.
Let me see:
Never was there known before in
the political history of this country
such q nomination and election. The
politicians had precious little to do
with the first, and as regards the
last the force Of circumstances COM
PEELED many of them TO buckle on
their armor anew.
The public press generally was
also little back ward at first, uutil
such was the purport from the
masses that they had to initiate the
example of the so-called leaders(?),
The all absorbing question seemed
to be that of vailibility," and to
it all were required to yield, but the
people say Nay, aud the nomination
of Grover Cleveland was secured.
You can we'll afford to indulge in
self~complacency, in view of the fact
that, from the very outset, you saw
the "end from the beginning" Fort
unate sagacity for you.
A great many hard things were
said by men before the election that
were afterwards regretted, and now,
strange to tell, they are the very
ones mo-t clamorous In their de-
mands for office.
All we have to say Is, that we
earne silly hope and trust the Execu-
tive will see to it (ali things being
equaD that the preference in every
case be given to those who, all the
way through, were his true and tried
friends, and not his foes. 1t is true
that the disappointed ones may
curse him, but as much as we de-
spise profanity We would say, if,
curse they will, let them curse on.
Their doing SO will only prove to be
the repetition III modern times, of
the Parthian arrows of old, S 3ne Of
that same sort did il during Grover
Cleveland's former administration,
and what was the result? The peo-
pie most heartily have given him
their approval in way that is un-
parallel IN the history of American
politics.
| see from the New York papers
that the Hill and Murphy faction
are about to show their cloven feet.
Well, let it be SO, if it has to come
the sooner the better. "W hon the
gods destroy, they first make mad
We would be glad to sea the Dem
ocratlc leaders and press unit in
the support of the administration,
but when there are so many cravings
to be satisfied We deem this almost
impossible.
In conclusion, permit me to say
that, in my humble opinion, never
was there time in the history Of
our country that called for more
sound and determined men in the
councils of the nation than the
present. President Cleveland will
need them, and if North Carolina
is privileged to furnish her quota,
we would with special pleasure call
attention to the name of Ex-Goy.
| Thos. j. Jarvis as one who has been
tried and found not wanting. The
last campaign demonstrated this
fact in an unmistakable manner.

Lees Birthday,

General Robert Edward Lee,
who was born in Westmoreland
county, January 10, 1907, died at
Lexington, October 90, 1870.
He lived but little more after five
years before he surrendered his
army to General Grant at Appo-
mottox, and he preceded that CONS
mander to the grave by fifteen
years.
Lee had great strain upon his
mind and body during the three
years when he was in com mand of
the Army of Northern Virginia
and the wonder is that he did not
sink under it. AT all times he
carried an enormous weight of res
sponsibility. He had not only to
plan hiss campaigns, but, to dis>
agreeable degree, find men to fill
his ranks; food to feed them;
clothes to clothe them, and shot;
for their guns, He was the head of
a great military family and upon
him every subordinate leaned
while to him President Davis and
the Confederate Congress looked
for suggestions and advice. He was
a pillar of strength.
He had the complete confidence
Of the South. His character and
capacity both were respected. The
people believed that if he could
not achieve success success would
be impossible to the Confederate
arms. They had as much faith in
him when he returned grief strickS
en- from the disastrous field of Get
tysburg as when they saw him
hurting back McClellan's legions
from the gates..cf Richmond. That
he was willing to take all the
blame OF the Gettysburg defeat
upon himself but caused them to
admire him all the more intense
ly.
It was the manliness of the man
joined to happy qualities of leaders
ship which gave him his great
hold upon the affections of the sols
diers in the field and the people at
their homes, and his eulogists toe
day could not do Southern youth
better service than to speak of his
unselfshness;of his straightforward
ness; of his modesty and courage, ,of
his consideration for the feelings of
others-above all, of his reverence
ter duty. To him, consequently,
they may point as the medel gems
tleman of our times.
