Scotland Neck Democrat.
If the Third party people all
through the State will adopt
and publish such resolutions as
were adopted by the Edgecombe
county Third party convention,
they will show up badly before
Intelligent and reasonable peo-
pie.
We cannot see how any man
with proper ideas can either join
or continue to affiliate with q
party that adopts such a jargon
of meaningless sentences as res
olutions to represent their prin-
ciples. Take them as an ex-
ponent of principles or as a sam
pie of wit, they are not credi-
table to any party that would as
pire to control the affairs of such
a government as ours.
We print them, not for their
literary merit in any sense of
the word, neither for the princi-
pies they enupciate, for they
lenunciate none whatever, but to
let that part of the world with
which this paper comes in con-
| tact, see how senseless q Jungle
of words men maybe induced to
endorse.
The following resolutions were
adopted by unanimous rising
vote:
WHEREAS, The Honorable
Grover Cleveland, the President
of the United States, in the Ian
guage of the campaign speakers
tof 1892, lis greater than his
party" and that I'VE love him
for the enemies he has made"
and by his administration he has
proved that he is still greater
than his own party. Therefore, be
Resoluel, 1st, That we love him
for the Populists he has made by
his "soup house" administra-
ton.
| End. That we thank him for
leading his party into the ranks
of the gold-bug plutocracy, SO
that his honest but deluded fol-
lowers might see where he and
they were at.
3rd That we have not seen
the good times promised by the
"give us a chance" speakers in
1892, and also by his message to
congress on the repeal of the
fisherman silver bill; that proba-
bly, they have been lost in the
committee room, in the scramble
lover the tariff bill; that we rec
commend that he appoint a com
mittee to search for the same.
4th. That while we do nota APP
prove of the Coxey method of pc
tition to a gold bug and monopo-
list Congress, by going to Wash
lington to look for the good times
lpromised by Mr.. Cleveland and
ICongressmen, yet we sympathize
with them in their distress, and
recommend that hereafter they
make their petition at the ballot
box; that should they ever again
Igo to interview a gold-bug mo-
lnopolist Congress, they should
travel on palace cars and have
their pockets filled with gold; or
make the trip in balloons SO as to
'keep off the grass %
5th. That hereafter when the
"dear people" assist the monopo-
lists and their agents to get in
to power and Office, they, 1.-The
damn people," should imme-
diately after the election, take
trip to the moon or some other
place and stay until the next
lelection day, so as to save ex-
, pense of providing them with
''free soup"
/ 9th. That if Mr.. Cleveland
, Twill aid us in the future as in the
lpast, we pledge him that we will
bury him by ballots in '96 so
deep in private life that Queen
I'LL can never find him.
/ 7th. That copy of these res
5olutions be sent to the Caucasian
55iwith the. urgent request that
! same be published; and other re-
form papers be requested to pub
lish Same.,,.
