The Party Chart.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
The platform OF the Democratic
State convention, adopted by it's
unanimous vote, has many points OF
excellence There are features which
many persons would object to under
critical analysis, but this fact is not
exceptional, applying to all party
platforms The tribute to the Dem
Ocratic record in the State was ad-
mirable and the promise OF welcome
to outside Investments would have
been assuring if it had stopped there
instead OF going on to give assurance
OF such restrictions as to nearly
threaten Il denial of opportunity.
The portion iii relation to national
affairs was very fine, and the terrific
arraignment of Republican legisla-
tion was fully deserved. A feature
OF especial excellence was the attack
upon the Vreeland-Aldrch currency
bill and the manner it was put, I'M
der whip, through the two houses of
Congress.
All in all the platform came as near
to filing the measure Us a party ut
terance can be expected to, and as a
declaration OF principles and pur-
poses will be acceptable to the North
Carolina Democracy.

at now appears highly probable
that William Jennings Bryan, the
able, eloquent, and honest states
man that he is will be nominated for
the Presidency at the Denver conven-
ton. This paper has not been Il
Bryan supporterfOr the nomination.
II he is nominated, however, as soon
as he is then he is our man from the
word go" And we readily agree
that the experienced and far-sighted
leaders and councillors who advocate
his nomination may be entirely
right; but this fact if it be fact does
not debar us from having an opinion
nor deny us the right to express it,
We have expressed our choice and
opinion and that ends it..
The above is from the editorial
columns of last weeks Clinton DEM
Ocrat. 1t is a good sign to see such
Il sentiment expressed in the Demo
cratic papers which are opposed to
the nomination of Mr.. Bryan or pre-
fer some other man as the party's
candidate. The Clinton editor is
manly and independent in declaring
his preference for some other candi-
date, which preference he has the
right to hold and express. And
equally did he show his manliness and
his sound Democracy in the declara-
ton that he would be for Bryan
''from the word GO from the time of
the latter's nomination. That is
the kind of Democrat We like to see.
One who utters such sentiments is as
true a Democrat as he who has ad-
Vocated Bryan's nomination from
the beginning of his candidacy.

We take Off our hats to Mr.. W. W.
Kitchin.
1t doesn't make any difference
whether we were for him or against
him before, we are all for him now,
Tor we must not forget that we are
all North CarOlinians We have
taken our chances in a council of our
peers and whether we are gamers or
losers we must abide the result. If
the victors of last evening had lost in
this beautiful game, they would have
been called on to stand the scOnse-
quences: the losers must not be less
loyal than they would have expected
the Others to have been.
This means that all of US should
enlist under the banner of Mr.. kitch-
IN. To do this is only to follow the
path OF duty which, while sometimes
hard, is always plain. To none is
this SO difficult as to the Observer
From July of last year up to two
weeks ago, from every stump, in
every congressional district except
one, he has attacked by inuendo. the
integrity of this paper, when all the
time having perfect confidence in the
honor OF its editor, whom he has
known years upon years.
If, therefore, this paper can sup
port Mr.. Kitchin anybody else can.

Is not SO enthusiastic for him as some
Others it begs now of its fellow party
men to remember what he has said
OF it, and to refer any lack of zeal of
which it may be guilty, not to a
spirit OF treachery, but to the human
infirmity which cannot forgive an
imputation upon character in O
minute
Gentlemen of North Carolina, we
present you to our nominee for Gov
ernOr, the Hon. William W. Kitchin

will stand in the nations eye for four
years next as the representative OF

We might distinguish and define
all his qualities with the utmost nice
ness; we might weigh and measure
his service with accuracy, placing
here what was good and successful
and there what was mistaken or IN
successful; and we might form a
higher or lower estimate OF each par
ticular one of his achievements. But
after all this, we should miss the one
chief thing if we did not recognize
that. greater than all his specific SER
vices, more precious than any con-
crete thing he gained for his country,
is the legacy OF fame OF one more
great American, one more lame to
stand to the youth Of coming gener-
ations as an example OF strenuous
work, OF lofty character, OF high
craftsmanship, and of heroic stead
fastness in the midst of all the
obstacles and difficulties of a time Of
trial and trouble.

+ Cleveland is dead. and with him
falls one OF the greatest figures OF
the world. Measured by what he
did, he was the foremost Democrat
since the Civil War. By
many he was stigmatized as II
traitor" when he did not promptly
change his policies and his convic-
lions in obedience to a passing
popular demand; but by the country
at large he was respected and his
memory will be respected as that OF
one Of the greatest party leaders,
and one Of the foremost Democrats
that the country and the party have
produced.

He was our foremost citizen. And
in his peaceful retirement, the great
value of the public services he had
rendered. the strength and dignity
and answering integrity Of his
official character, his personal mod
esty, his courageous devotion to
principle, and to the conviction OF
right and justice in the face of pOpu-
lar passion, had all gained lustre
with the lapse OF time. Even those
who criticised and opposed him while
in office had learned to think OF him
with admiration. as the wise, calm,
judicious leader whom they would
gladly have welcomed back into
public life, and whose memory re-
mains enshrined among the great
Presidents OF the great Americans.

In our view, Mr.. Cleveland taken
all in all, was the greatest American
OF his day and generation. He was
not so brilliant, or spectacular as
some other leaders of the people, nor
so popular, but he had a great
patriotic spirit, and his moral cour-
age never failed him in an emergency.

Wilmington Star.
The Charlotte Observer of yester-
day pays the following tribute to that
grand old Democrat and Tar Heel,
Thomas j. Jarvis:
Nothing could have been finer or more
betting the occasion than the speech of
the grand old man in taking the position
OF temporary chairman OF the cOnyen-
ton yesterday. 1t was marked by his
accustomed expressions Of party loyalty,
OF devotion to the State and by the wis
dom which characterizes all OF his public
utterances. 1t is said by many, and it
stands true, that Governor Jarvis is our
wisest man. And it must he great graf
ification for him to know. as he must
know, how much he is honored, how
much beloved by his people
1t is seldom, indeed, that a man re-
taine his hold Oh the people so long
after his retirement from political life
as has Ex-Governor Jarvis Gener-
ally when Il man retires from poll
teal to private life the people are apt
to consider his usefulness to the
State gone and he passes out of the
public mind. 1t is not so, however,
with this man. As he grows older
and gets further away from active
politics he is still looked up to as Il
safe and sound adviser in matters
pertaining to the good of his party
and OF his State. In years to come
his name will stand high in the honor
roll Of North Carolina.

What he was, and what he did for
his country, is written large in its
annals. Holding public office as IA
public trust, he lived up to the line of
duty as he, understood it, never
swerving aside for base reasons. His
fame will not diminish as the records
are turned to the future historian.
Last of the long line of Democra tic
Presidents. taking office when the
United States had grown to the di-
mansions of an empire, he acquitted
himself with such distinction as to
take high rank i'll that illustrious
company. His death is truly a ma
tional bereavement.

Grover Cleveland was the first
American of his generation.
The position he finally reached in
the opinion of his countrymen was
not won by brilliant attainments,
through extraordinary intellectual
power, or by acts that dazzled the
mind But in the clear discernment
of what was needed to be done, the
direct simplicity with which he went
about doing it, the unshakeable
courage that resisted alike tempta-
ton and threat, men came to know
that here was one OF whose strength
and wisdom they might be sure.
