"All Wrong on the Tariff" Says
Caroinian.

without Campaign Issue, Unless
Their Action Is Repudiated.

Former Gov. Robert B. Glenn. OF
North Carolina, prominent figure in
the South. and frequently spoken OF as a
possible candidate for the United states
Senate. while IN Washington last night,
declared the Democrats IN Congress are
all wrong on the tariff. and that they
are taking a bad position" The former
governor has been in Atlantic City. and
was on his way home
When the special session was called, %
he declared. knowing the division that
existed In the Republican party. was
satisfied that the Democratic party,
standing by the Cleveland tariff position.
could win The next election. but Unfortun-
Stely the Democrats are divided and not
standing for Democratic principles. but
for self-interests OF special localities.
our parry men have played into the
hands or the Republicans. and have lost
their opportunity Of success"
Mr. Glenn declared that he believed
that a tariff for revenue was al right,
and sufficient tax should be levied to
run the government economically
The tariff thus laid be said. would
incidentally protect infant industries
without creating trusts. as the RePubli-
can protective system does.
IN 1854 Cleveland won on the tartn
issue. his platform being the three great
principles OF DemOcraCy-eQual justice tc

greatest good 70 the greatest number. Il
is wrong 10 lay tariff for more than
necessary 20 run the government
Taking the tariff of Of lumber, it is
true. would hurt some. but It would ben
eft many and the few cannot hope to
prosper by the misfortune OF the many.
7 most heartily commend the course
Of Representative Kitchin. His position
IS the correct one. and is in accord with
the state and national platforms Of the
party. I regret exceedingly that The
North Carolina Senator'S and the six other
Democrats saw At % vote as they did
contrary 10 the positive declaration Of the
party platform
In the olden days II a Congressman
could not agree with the platform OF
the wishes OF his constituents he resigned
and went before the people on the issue

from personal or other reasons 20 g

tives in Congress.

At 8 o'clock last evening, at the res
idence of the brides parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Fletcher w. Griffin, on

withal, witnessed only by relatives
and immediate friends. The rites were
solemnized by DR.. Bascom Anthony,
of First Methodist church, and sincere
were the congratulations showered
upon the handsome young couple, who
thus begin the voyage of life together
under fairest auspices Many hand
some wedding gifts attested the es-
TEEN in which the beautiful young
bride and handsome groom are held
among a host of friends here as else
where. A tempting wedding menu
