he is for a single gold standard, he is
simply declaring that he hes severe d
his connection with the Democratic
party, Goldbug doctrine is Republi-
canlsm, true and simple. The Republi-
can party is it's parent and has even
watched over and cherished it during
It's growth to full maturity"
Says the Atlanta Constitution:
Those who believe in Republican
CANNOT BE DEMOCRATS.
and those who believe in Democratic
doctrines cannot be Republicans. Those
who accept and endorse the Republican
act of demOnetiz alton with ali it's con-
sequences can no more be called Demo
Gratis than an Arab can be called a
Christian "
But the people now have before
them The singular spectacle of men
high in Office burying their heads deep
IN the bosom of Republicans and
leaving their hind legs kicking and
furnishing about in the Democratic
camp"
24th. For many years one of the
principal arguments against the Re-
publican party was it's rigorous ezecu-
tion Of the internal revenue sy stem"
For years one of the principal argu-
ments of Demo Gratis against the as
cendancy of the Republican party was
the internal revenue system" Sena-
tor Vance ridiculed az d denounced
revenue officers as re d legged grass
hOppers The Democratic party of
this State was pledged to the abolish
ment of the system, or at Ieest to g.
emitigatiOn of Its hardshiDs.
I have not heard of anything being
done t. abolish the system, and as to
whether there has been any decrease
in seizures, illegal arrests, &C., and
prosecutions on shadowy and INSULT
cient evideL ce, the people are to be
heard from, especially the hundreds of
our citizens dragged before the Federal
courts during the past two years and
more
Have the people of North Caroline
become less Iaw-aOiding than in the
past How is it that revenue Offices have
doubled and tre6led in value since the
incoming of Democratic admiDistra-
tion. Is it true as 1 have seen it sugges
ted by the highest authority, that DEM
ocratic officials have stretched the law
forgotten the promises of the party and
prose 6cuted the people in a mad ecran1-
ble for fees. 1t seems that the Demo
cratic red legged graesaOppers" are
quite active, and that many of them
have been metamorphoaed into gold
bugs.
GROVER CLEVELAND
I regard Grover Cleveland ae the
most dangerous man to American in
institutions yet evolved by American
political conditions A traitor to his
people, a vIolator of the Constitution
a coward in the execution of the Mon
roe Doctrine, a buDgler, if not worse,
in the Hawaiian matter, q pigmy
statesman born of chance, whose stub
b9rnness, tyranny, treachery and COR
ruption are called by his friends and
sycophants, br0ad-mindedneE S, purity
and patriotism. This Benedict Arnold
No 2, would betray to Britain not one
army post, but he would surrender
North America to the grinding grasp
of Engl sh gold This autCcrat, this
American czaT, who with one foot
spurned the Democratic platform of
| 1892 and kicked the DemL cratic Con-
gross into adopting the most of mis-
policies, while he placed the other upon
the necks Of the American people, sets
his opinions and methods againsG those
of Jefferson az d Jackson and the fathers
Of the Republic.
CLEVELAND AND CAPITALIZATION.
Touching the tyranny and autOcratic
and cantralizing methods of Grover
Cleveland, the following extracts will
prove interesting. This is from a
Democratic paper that warmly sup
ported Mr. Cleveland:
What is this Administration talk2
