So far as we are concerned, we really
have curiosity to know whether we
are dead or living. We want that point
decided scientifically before the funeral
proceeds any further. If Butler and
his crowd are burying a party which is,
really dead, then they are doing a very
decent and necessary work.
But if Populism is yet alive, bearing
only the semblance of th,-pale but
ready to flush with the ruddy glow of
health and life when the word of hope
is spoken; sleeping, but ready to rise,
strengthened and refreshed, when the
bugle call shall sound again-then here
is one Populist who would like to see
the fusion-graveyar business stopped,
and the shroud torn from around the
party which is not dead, but sleeping,
only.

Cleveland than the Atlanta Constitu
ton The only injustice done Mr..
Cleveland is the charge that he went
back on his pledges. Mr.. Cleveland in
accepting the nomination never prom
ised to stand upon the democratic
platform. The Constitution knew in
'92 just as well as it knows now that
Mr. Cleveland was and would continue
to be the friend of the corporations
and money power of the East. 1t
knew then as we'll as it knows now,
that when the East forced his nomina-
ton and put up the money to elect him
that there was complete and definite
understanding between Cleveland and
the corporations.
1t cannot even put up the extenuat-
ing plea that Cleveland was not the
choice of the Constitution for the nom
nation, because the course of Senator
Hill in sustaining Cleveland, though
his political enemy, in every act of
which it complains has demonstrated
the fact that he would not have given
the country a better administration
though he would not have used the
sprees under the pretense of hunting
ducks, nor would he have left the
which he had never earned and the
possession of which he could not ex
plain. If the Constitution is honest in
denouncing Cleveland why did it sup
port Sewall, man after Cleveland s
O wn heart, in the recent elections.
The Constitution has welded more
powerful political influence than any
Southern paper for dozen or more
years, but that influence is on the wane.
While a campaign is on it belongs to
the strike-your-wif e-or-l little child but
don't-s trike- the-dear-old- party democ-
racy and is ready to support a yellow
dog if he has the party nomination,
1t must hereafter refuse to lend its
support even to a party nominee, I'M
less that nominee is a patriotic and
clean man or it had just as we'll leave
off playing to galleries between acts,
in the role of friend and champion of
the masses, 4
The Constitution must be consistent
if it expects to maintain it's influence.
It has no right to help place dangerous
! men in off ce and then assume an air of
! righteous indignation because they do
what they were elected to do.
n So
Citizen Cleveland is some improve
ment on the president, in the matter
of using government vessels as private
property. Plain untitled Grover, after
discarding his official robes, only used
government vessel to convey him from
Washington to Norfolk, where he was
transferred to another vessel to be
taken to Ocracoke inlet where he was
to find the yacht of his friend Benedict
By the way, history does not record
another just such friendship as that
existing between Grover and Benedict
1t is nothing uncommon for one friend
to put another in the way to line hi:
pockets, but this particular friendship
has resulted in reciprocity arrange
ment by which the pockets of eacf
have been equally we'll lined.
