teal situation, in private letter to
the editor of The News and Observer,
but we believe they ought to be more
widely known and therefore take the
liberty of printing most of the letter
as follows:
What do you think about Cleve-
lands denial of signing the mixed
school bill when Governor of New
York and the New York statutes
shows it as a fixed law with his sigma
ture to it? What do you think of his
denying inviting Fred Douglass to the
White House reception, the one we all
supposed was his wedding reception
l suppose not less than 1000 people
would testify that Douglass and ms
wife were there; | was there and saw
them and the general comment was
that of surprise amongst the people
from the South. / am afraid Mr..
Cleveland's memory is getting bad.
worked hard for his election, but /
would work just as hard today to de-
feat him as ! did before to help elect
him. If there ever was a hOodoo III
the Democratic party is he. L am
sorry for the attitude that Bryan took
at Chicago last Saturday night. rms,
according to my Judgment is the first
mistake of any consequence that Bry-
statement from Judge Parker his eff
fort should have been to insure the
compulsion of a clear and unqualified
declaration of principles from Parker
before he should lay grieVous charges
at his door and | think it was unJudi-
cious in attacking the State platform
of New York. There is no question
but what it was indefinite on some
very cardinal principles, but they were
l. hui, inf tla ion
under the unit rule the New York
delegation. and a platform that would
bring the warning elements together
was necessary, but that by no means
binds the National convention at st.
Louis, but the ST. Louis platform binds
the unit delegation from New York,
and while / believe in sincerity and
believe Bryan is right in his princi-
pies and notions and construction of
the true principles of our Constitution,
he will have to recognize the fact that
so far have the money elements in
the Democratic party as well as the
Republican party have strayed on the
lines of making the Government
through trust laws and tariff laws and
combine laws instrumental in enabling
them to control the money interest
of the country to their own profit that
we will have to persue something of

them back into the harness of true
patriotism I believe Parker is the
man and I believe he will either be-
fore or in the convention enunciate his
principles, and l don't believe the De-
mocracy will undertake to nominate
any man until he does. With a cleanI
man and the unclouded principles an
nounced by him we can elect him, l

mated and elected.
There is a growing sentiment in |
this district that Hon Theo. f.
Kluttz, the present able and most SER
viceable representative from this dis
trict in Congress, should not be al !
lowed to retire. Many letters have
been received from prominent Demo- |
Gratis in other counties by Salisbury
friends of Mr.. Kluttz, requesting him |
to reconsider his determination to
withdraw. Sheriff Julian is one
among many who feels that Mr.. |
Kluttz is the most available candidate |
and said today 81 am firmly con- !

Theo. F. Kluttz means his reelection |

We agree with the Charlotte News
and the Cleveland Star and some 9TH |
err papers that the Democratic State
convention should instruct for Gov

the fact that he doesn't want the NOM |
