WILMINGTON. N. c., June 9, '9S.
The pretended Democratic Conven-
ton that was held in Raleigh on the
Goth of last month, adopted . plat
form, which, with regard to funda-
mental principles, Was identical with
that declared by the Peoples party
few days previously. The letter of
their National Chairman and also
that of the patriotic Bryan, advising
cooperation of the reform forces,
were endorsed. The Peoples party,
true to its principles of reform, and
true to the great champion, Bryan,
assumed the initiative and present.
ed to that convention . proposition
to cooperate. Peremptorily and in
most emphatic terms the proposition
was rejected without the assigning
of single reason.
We submit the following queries
for the consideration Of the honest,
free silver Democrats of tho State:
Was the act of that convention, in
refusing the aid of the Populists, in
keeping with that portion of their
platform that endorsed Bryan and
the letter of their National Chairman
who advised them to cooperate with
the Popuiists
| We .uoh an ont an ov;1onoo ~
their faith and sincerity in the plat
form they adopted
Was their refusal to accept the
support of the Populists to elect nine
free silver Congressmen an evidence
of their sincerity in opposing the
gold standardy
If that Convention had been con.
trolled by the friends of Bryan and
bimetallism would it not have sought
to combine all the silver forces, "a

Down on the Governor
Central;a News.


The acton taken by a majority OF Conn.,
pany A in disband!ng the company must
be- fully approved by our people when
the facts are known. There is much to
tell In connection with the affair, and the
News can only say. with a large major
lily OF all the people acquainted with the
circumstances that the company was full
~ justified in doing as they did. No truer
or loyal boys ever went TO face the trials
OF war than the members OF Company A.
but when Il came face 10 face with the
dShonoring of their company, they would
not approve and so laid down their arms.
We repeat that the boys are justified
Governor Rogers has certainly acted in an
unwise manner. In fact, he has violated
every rule in military law applicable 10
the matter.
One more case has been recorded against
him which will be heard from probably az
the polls later on, when his petty and I'M
called for insults vii! be acted on 70 the
satisfaction of an outraged people. Gov
e:'1or Rogers has shown himself TO be a
politician, nothing else. He has acted IN
a manner OF undignity toward the members
Of Company A. They asked nothing IN
reasonable. We don't care to dwell at
length on this subject. The facts exist
and the affair. so far as the company Is
concerned. Is now settled. The whole az
far ia a lamsntabis one.
The contemplate insulting attitude OF
Gov. Rogers in this matter will not be-
forgotten. The spectacle OF a public exec
utivs acting IN the role OF politician
under such circumstances was never be-
fore witnessed III these United States. To
help few old political hacks, and TO
assis. himself in endeavoriDg to be elect
Ell United States senator. he has stopped
70 the lowest depths OF political Job
berry. The News is ashamed 20 say that
X ever went on record as favoring his
candidacy and will not do 50 again. The
whole state viii sit down hard on Do
Ni!cal corruption. IL Is a source of mani
fest dlspleasure, however, TO know tina.
for two more long years We must endure
such scenes. The News IL willing 90 acr
honorahiy IN the matter and give Cover
nor Rogers the benefit OF every doubt.
yet we only vojCe the sentiment % a
majority in speaking plainly as We have.
and We trust our motives may not be mis-
understood.
