DEMOCRATS IN A HOLE.

The Republicans have put the Demo
Gratis in hole on the government own
ership question, by declaring that the
Democrats are for government owner
ship. The Democratic papers assert
that it will be necessary for this charge
to be squarely met and denied in the
platform which will be made at the Den
yer Convention. If that is done. it will
put the Democrats in the attitude of
slapping Mr.. Bryan in the face and hav-
ing candidate who is for a thing the
party is not for. Mr.. Bryan has talked
and written pretty freely in criticism of
the Republican platform, but he has said
nothing, so far, in reply to the charge
that his party is for government
ownership. 1t is said that he wants the
platform to say nothing about the oues-
ton But silence in such an important
matter will not do. 1t will be eouiva.
lent to admitting that the charge is
true This is the view many Democrat.
ic papers are taking.

CALLS THEM SUCKERS.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Rich.
mond News Leader, has proclaimed an.
other grievance against the Democrats
and Republicans of the Ninth Con-
gressional District. 1t charges that
the Democrats out here have permitted
the Republicans to ri4ls,o them believe
that the people of Eastern Virginia are
the enemies of the people of this Sec
ton. In a recent editorial the News
Leader, replying to the Bristol Herald
Courier, which had questioned the patron
izing tone of its Richmond contempor-
airy toward the Democrats of this dis
trict, said
''The trouble with the Ninth District
is that the Democratic people there
have let the Republicans play them for
a lot of suckers. The Republicans were
cunning enough at the very beginning
to start playing on an old, stale but
somewhat sensitive string. They have
dinned into the ears Of the people of
the Ninth that the people of Eastern
Virginia practically are enemies and
despise them. Many intelligent men
have fallen for this fake, and have al
lowed themselves to get in such
temper that when Eastern Virginia
lets them alone they say they
are not regarded here as fellow Demo-
Gratis and fellow citizens, and when
Eastern Virginia shows some interest
in their affairs they complain, as the
Bristol Herald Courier does now, of be-
ing patronized and looked down on by
the people whose real purpose is to be
friendly and fraternal.
The News Leader is in error when it
asserts that the Republicans of the
Ninth have dinned into the ears of the
people out here that the people of East
ern Virginia are their enemies. But.
the Republicans have charged and still
charge, that the politicians of the East
ern part of the State have ever been
selfish and hoggish in their attitude to-
wards the people of this mountain Sec
ton. And the Republicans out here
have dinned into the ears of the people

frauds that were introduced into the

James C. Blaine, and was inaugurated
March 4th, 1885.
His rise from the humble position of
clerk to the chief executive of the
Uuited States was meteoric, and never
in the political annals of this country
before or since that time, has there
been another rise that was half so rapid.
-Four years later he was once more
nominated as the Democratic candi-
date for the presidency but was defeat
ed by Benjamin Harrison, and retired
from Office in 1899.
He settled in New York and resumed
the practic of law.
In 1892 he received for the third time
the Democratic nomination, and when
the election came off in the following
November, he received PIT electoral
and 6. 556, 5SS popular votes, while his
opponent Mr.. Harrison (renominated) ,
had only las electoral and 5,I75, SIT
popular votes.
At the expiration of his second term
he took up the practice of law again,
making his home at Princeton, N. j.,
where he lived until the time of his
death.
During both of his administrations
President Cleveland gave much thought
to the question of the tariff, and in sew
eral of his messages to Congress he
urged reform based on the condition
of the day. Towards the close of 1887
he deemed the condition of the national
finances so important as to justify a
special expression of his views thereon,
and accordingly he devoted his entire
message of December 9Th to a consid-
GRAFTON of the subject.

politics Of our district were Matched in
the nest of the Eastern Virginia Democ-
racy. If the politics of the Ninth have
become corrupt and immoral it is due to
the training of the experts who so long
practiced frauds in Eastern Virginia.
and many of whom are still honored by
the Democrats of that section of the
State.
The Republicans have also dinned into
the ears of the people here that the
Eastern Virginia Democrats have shown
that they were not friendly to our sec
ton by giving Us an unjust and unfair
neutrality-suspicious.. The represen-
tation given the great white counties of
theNinth is so small in proportion to what
has been given to insignificant little
counties in Eastern Virginia as to dem
onstrate that the Democrats of that
part of the State are either absolutely
dishonest or that they are unfriendly to
our people. There are other evidences
of the ungenerous feeling of the East
ern Virginia politicians for our people,
especially toward the Democrats, of re-
cent occurrence, which the Democrats
out here can recall.

There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For q great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease and prescribed local remedies. and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a consti,
tutionsl disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by f. j. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tionsl cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a tea

Grover Cleveland.

The following biographical sketch OF
the life of the late Ex-President Cleve.
land tells the story of his remarkable
rise from the position of Office clerk to
chief magistrate of the United States:
Grover Cleveland was born in Cald-
well, Essex county, N. j., on the 18th
day of March, 1887, just seventy.one
years ago. After gaining some expert
ence, as a clerk in an attorneys office,
his application to practice law was ac-
cepted and he was admitted to the bar
in the city of Buffalo in 1859. For two
years, shortly after this, he was the
assistant district attorney, and in 1870
was elected to the office of sheriff of
Erie county and served three years In
that capacity.
In 1881 Mr.. Cleveland was elected to
the mayorship of Buffalo, and during
his term of Office attracted the notice of
the Democratic party in the state of
New York by his many estimable quail
tiles, thorough fairness at all times.
and his excellent foresight into the
political situation that was then sweep
ing the country.
His term in the mayors chair was of
short duration, as in 1882 the Democrats
OF the state nominated him as their
chosen representative to fill the Office of
governor. He was elected the follow
ing November by the overwhelming
majority of 1000, and entered office
in January, 1888. His administration
OF affairs at Albany secured the presen-
tation OF his name to the Democratic
national convention in 1884, and was
nominated as their candidate for the
presidency and elected to that Office.
