overwhelming defeat as candi-
date for Governor of New York
by Grover Cleveland, Mr., Ores
ham was transferred to the Treas
ury portfolio. thus vacated. The
dnties of a Cabinet officers and
the exacting requirements in
volved in the disposal of the pat
ronage of one of the greatest
Executive Departments of the
Government were not to his taste
and at his own request President
Arthur nominated him after
barely three months service as
Secretary Of the Treasury, to the
position of Circuit judge for the
Seventh Judicial circuit, which
embraces the States of Indiana,
Illinois and Wisconsin. He re-
tanned his position until at Mr..
CleYeland's urgent personal re-
quest he joined Mr. Cleveland's
second Cabinet as Secretary of
State.
But in the meantime varying
political movements had brought
his name forward as a candidate
for the Presidency. In an inter-
Jude in the convention at Chicago
which subsequently nominated
Benz. Harrison, Col. Robt. G..
Ingersoll was called to the plat
form for a political speech and
after thrilling the convention
with one Of his finest bursts of
eloquence, suddenly sprung the
name Of Judge Gresham asPresi-
Dental nominee and attempted to
stampede the convention. The
utterly unexpected anti climax
which followed this dramatic
incident is something which even
the most experienced frequent
ers of political conventions will
always bear in memory. It seem
ed as if the entire convention
rose as one man and hooted down
the eloquent speaker for what
was regarded as an attempt to
take snap Judgment on them,
and Judge Gresham's name was
not again seriously considered
by the convention.
In 1892 the Populist party
sent a delegation to tender Judge
Gresham a nomination at the
head of their ticket, but he de-
clined to accept the offer and re-
NAMED on the bench until he res
signed at the personal request OF
Mr.. Cleveland to become Secre-
tary Of State.
A recently published semi Off
cial statement as to the foreign
policy Of the present Admins
tration claims credit for Secre-
tary Gresham for having sue.
c=ssfully interposed our good
officers in the late Nicaraguan
dispute with Great Britain in
such a way as to the secure al
amicable agreement, at the same
time admonishing ''that impetu
Gus little republic that the United
States could not be made a party
to it's acts of rashness and in
justice" Especial credit is also
claimed for the settlement of the
Mosquito reserve territorial ques
ton with England in connection
with the Nicaraguan question.

with him. In all his domestic
relations he was most exemplary

Not to Usurp any Powers.

RALEIGH, May 26.-Oneo of the
members of the State Democra-
tic executive committee said to
day that the object of it's action
here last Monday with regard to
silver was not in any way to u
surp the powers of the party as
exercised by it's State conven-
tions. or to forestall the action
of the next convention, but to
simply carry out the State plat
form of 1892 and began a cam
paign Of education. The "gold
men, say that their wing of the
party has a much larger follow
ing than the silver men believe
it has.

There is a temptation now
vexing the people in different
sections of the country which as
sumes the disguise of Democatic
party principle, inasmuch as it
presents a scheme which is
claimed to be a remedy for agri-

other hardships as affict our fell
low citizens. Thus, because we

The big box was arranged and

besides fulfilling their tender

THE experience Of the last
three months is quite enough to
convince any fair-minded person
that the claim that the prices of
cotton and wheat are dependent
upon the price of silver is absurd.
The price Of cotton has advan-
ced 33 per cent while silver has
not advanced a cent an ounce.
Within three months wheat has
risen from so cents a bushel to
so cents and silver has been
practically stationary. There
has been a decided advance in
corn and other agricultural pro-
ducts, but the silver monometal-
lists have made most frequent
appeals to cotton and wheat to
sustain their theory that silver
regulates the prices of agricul~
tural products. How do they
account for TIE fact that on the
first of April, less than two
months ago, wheat was SO cents
a bushel and silver 661 cents an
ounce, while last Friday wheat
was so cents a bushel and silver
only 81 cents all ounce? Silver
had risen only one-half cent an
ounce while wheat had gone up
81 cents a bushel. A 500 pound
bale of cotton is now worth So
more than Is was three months
ago and silver shows hardly an
appreciate increase in price.
The silver monometallists had
better drop their cotton and
wheat argument.

entitled to the gratitude of every
fair minded Democrat in the
State, whether a free silver man
or not. He bravely tried to
prevent a m%onstrous injustice
being committed against the
party and the party's best in
terest. There Ire thousands of
as good men as are in the Demo
cratic party in North Carolina
who are intelligently and honest
ly opposed to the free coinage Of
silver. Who ever heard of one Of
them boiling his party's authors
lied action, o r DESERVING his
party because he did not get the
office he sought?Who ever heard
of one of them who refused to
contribute to a campaign fund,
or help in any way be could?
Are these men entitled to no con-
sideration or courtesy at the
hands of an arrogant minority Of
the Democratic executive CONS
mittee? There are thousands of
them to-day and a year from now
there will be thousands more.
Dothe free silver champions real
ize this and seek to forestall the
logical result? If not, then do
they seek to stife the voice even
of an honorable minority? The
gentlemen of that honorable
committee have done a foolish
thing, and a wrong thing, and
they should meet as soon ay pos
sible. with a full committee, and
rescind their former action.
The opponents of free silver
only ask that people settle the
policy of the party in the right
way and at the right time. They
have a right to demand this of
our common party leaders. The
action of the properly authorized
body always carries their fealty
with it. If the committee fails

cumbent on it to explain what it
means by the following, which is
resolution sixth: THAT regard
ing the question of the resump-
ton Of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver as the over
shadowing one in American poll
tics, we urge that such action be
taken by the various bi-metalIic

a union of the friends of silver
coinage in : their support of
candidates for Congress WHO can
be relied upon to stand by the

the North Carolina Democracy
with bi-metallic leagues of the
Northwest, composed of Repub-
licans and Populists, in support
Of a free silver man for President
without regard to the politics
of that man otherwise? Or in
other words. does it mean a
pledge by the North Carolina
Democracy to support a free
silver man for President,
whether the national Demos
cratic convention dominates
such a man or not? Or in
still other words, does it mean
that these gentlemen are paving
the way to bolt the nominee OF

Some Interesting Points About
the Earth's Satellite.
st. Louis Republic
A full moon reflects one three-thou-
santh part of the suns light.
The heighth of mountains on the
moon is measured by the length of the
shadows they cast upon the plains.
If you were in the moon the earth
would appear to be sixty-four times
larger that the sun does to residents of
this planet.
The moon is believed to be the only
member of the planetary system which
is wholly devoid of the least trace of
an atmosphere.
1t is estimated that the light of q
full moon is at least 30O,O 900 times weak
er than sunlight when the great orb
OF day. is standing at meridian.
Our moon weighs one-eightieth
Q-S0th) as much as the earth. No
other satellite in the solar system ex-
ceeds one one-thousandth Q-1 ,000th) of
the weight of it's planet.
The 1885 "craters" which have
been discovered on the moon, and
which have long been supposed to be
| extinct volcanic fiues are now be-
| lieved to have been caused by bonn
bardment of aerolites.
The month of February, 1886, was
known among the lovers of the curl
| Gus in nature as the "moonless'
month from the fact Of it having no
full moon. This cannot possibly oc-
cur more frequently than once in
each 121a years, or eight times in a
century.
The moon is not so small as some
| people have imagined. A recent as
| tronimical calculation attributes to
| it's surface an area fully as great as
that of Africa and Australia com
bined.
The most powerful telescope now
in use magnifies 1000 diameters. As
the moon is 100000 miles from the
earth, it is thus, to all intents anC
purposes, brought to within 120 mile:
of our world.

WITHOUT HANDS
And Still He Is a Remarkably
SkfIIfuI Hunter.
Richmond Dispatch.

Richmond Dispatch.
Rev. r. T. Vann performed a
somewhat wonderful feat day or
two ago. 1t is remarkable that he
can hunt and shoot so well, not hav-
ing any hands and only one arm
from a little above the wrist. j. p.
Futrell made Mr.. Vann a turkey
caller with rough cigar box and
slate. Mr.. Vann practiced with the
caller one night and went out with
Mr.. Futrell next day to hunt tur-
keys. They scattered the turkeys,
and made blind apiece, some hun
dreds yards apart.
Mr.. Vann occupied one blind and
Mr.. Futrell the other. They both
having no hands, had to lay his gun
down and take his caller between
his knees and use his slate as best he
could with his teeth and stub of
an arm. He succeeded in calling
well. He at last heard the turkey
near him. He laid down his caller,
took up his gun some way, rose up,
and shot and brought down a nine
teen-pound gobb1er. Mr.. Futrell
came, out of curiosity, to see what
Mr.. Vann had done, when, to his
great surprise, Mr.. Vann had killed
the turkey, gathered him up with
teeth and piece of arm, and had de-
posted him in the blind, and was
ready to sit for another.
Mr.. Futrell is an experienced hunt
er, and thinks Mr.. Vann's the lest
and most wonderful turkey-skooting
record he has ever known.
