open rupture. In the course OF the
fight Blaine, stung to the quick by an
ungenerous and unjust taunt of his
New York enemy, burst forth into that
terrific onslaught which stupctied the
Speaker, wrought the House into II
high pitch ofIexcitement, and marked
the beginning Of fierce struggle IN
the Republican party that ended in the
humiliation OF Roscoe Conkling and the
defeat OF James c. Blaine for President
OF the United States. Here are the
words:

nifty of these great men had its origin
In the attitude of Calhoun as Il member
Of the Cabinet when Jackson was pros
ecuting the war with the Semnoles In
1917. 1t seems that Old Hickory, i'll
some cases at least, had taken to him
self the power of Judge, jury and execu-
toner, ard stood not upon the order Of
hanging traitors. but hanged them ut
once. Finding that n petty Spanish
official had been guilty of treason. nc
cording 10 his soldier Judgment, Jack
son ordered him to be strung up to the
nearest tree. This led TO difficulties
and danger OF war with Spain. During
the discussion of this case Calhoun
made bitter attack on the hero OF New
Orleans, scoring him for ignorance and
incapacity. This was during a Cabinet
meeting when everything was said and
done under the seal OF secrecy, but

The Elkin Times Of two or three

to name the Judge and that paper last
week replied that his name was Nor

This is the same Judge Norwood that
dlsgraced the bench at Robson court
soon after he was elected, If we are not
mistaken.
THE DEMOCRAT said then, and it re-
peats it now, that Judge Norwood
ought to resign II there Is any de-

If there is any position Of trust that
ought to command the universal res

that Of the man who directs the pro
ceedings Of those tribunals wherein the
scales OF Justice are held between the
State and criminals and between indi-
vidual citizens.
We have no personal attack for Judge
Norwood. We have never seen him,
and for ought we know he may be clev-
er and genial, good natured and gener-

of the dignity Of the high and honored
position of trust which be occupies.

that we would gladly do anything in
our power to reform a man who is ours

And we also said then, as we say now,
that for the State to tolerate such con
duct on the part of its public servants
in high positions, is too much like a
young girl marrying a drunkard IN or

Personally we have nothing against

MICHIGAN FOR GOLD.

Detroit Mich, April 29-The finan-
cial views Of the administration had
won complete victory when the Mich
i.an Democratic State convention ad-
journed shortly after O'Clock tonight.
On the questions which were closely
contested, this victory was accomplish
ed by the narrow margin OF % out OF a
total Of some 800 votes. The admin
istration men obtained the organization,
adopted their resolutions entire, and
elected all their candidates for delegates
at-large, and alternates.
The free silver contingent took their
defeat hard. but there is no anticipation
Of any bolts to speak Of, although such
talk was INDUCED in by few of the rad
icals- They assert that had the dele
gates all acted independently according
to their convictions, without assistance
from Federal Otficeholders, and also
without the use of the unit rule IN
many counties, that the convention
would certainly have gone on record
for free silver.
