For a Cleveland Monument.
Charlotte Observer.


Chicagoans have started a
$10d, 600 fund to erect a local
monument to Grover Cleveland.
Chicago, where the dead Presi-
dent strongly upheld law and
order against anarchy, might
we'll hasten with a Cleveland
monument of it's own, but the
chief Cleveland monument be-
longs elsewhere. 1t was fol the
whole country that Grover Cleve-
land upheld law against formid-
able attack, preserved credit
against attack still more formid-
able. and in all matters pursued
the statesmanlike course without
regard either to popular outcry
or to party detection. Grover
Cleveland, cursed for a panic
wherein he had not the slightest
share, laid broad the foundations
of future prosperity. Grover
Cleveland began that war on pre-
datory wealth which Theodore
Roosevelt, with much less tenn
perateness and sanity, revived
later. Grover Cleveland broke
down sectional boundaries and
restored to the South-the South
thanklessly and unwisely desert
ed him when his need was ex-
treme-its ancient power at the
council table. Grover Cleveland
stood four-square against tenn
porary delusions most dangerous
in their nature and proved him.
self equal to one of the gravest
crises which American history
has known. Well said Senator
Hoar.a partisan VINO placed truth
before partisanship, that TIE
American people should long
thank God for Grover Cleveland.
The country owes him dead more
gratitude and amends than it did
or could pay him living. In the
national capital there should rise
to his memory a truly nationa
memorial.

DANIELS-GLENN IDEA.
The Coming Conflict of Political
Forces in North Carolina.

Washington Cor. Charlotte Observer.
The Democratic situation down
in North Carolina is becoming
interesting. There is much
talk here Of what has become
known as "the Daniels-Glenn
movement" which is said to
contemplate the retirement of
Senators Overman and Simmons
and six of the North Carolina
House delegation and to elect
Josephus Daniels, editor of The
News and Observer, at Raleigh,
now national Democratic COM
mitteeman from the State, TO
succeed Simmons, and former
Governor Robert B. Glenn to
succeed Overman. In this scheme
Daniels is to do the writing and
Glenn the speaking.
1t will be recalled that it was
frequently said in the last
national campaign that both of
these ambitious Tar Heels,
Daniels and Glenn, expected
Cabinet places in the case Of the
election of William Jennings
Bryan. Being disappointed in
their expectations they will now
strike for the Senate. AS Sim.
mons term expires first the guns
are, for the present, leveled al
him. Although Simmons is
daily voting against protection
rates in the Aldrich bill he is
denounced as a protectionist anc
a Republican because he refuses
to consent to determinations
against the products of his State
and section.
The course of the wind is in.
dicated by the clamor that i:
heard. The cry from certain
quarters will be: Down will
Simmons and six lumber Repre-.
sentatives," and, secretly, this
will be added: up with eight
other good Democrats.
These are the reports tina
come to Washington from tn,
Old North State. Senator Sim
mons is the target. His seat il
the Senate is the first attraetiv'
thing in sight.
