CORRECTING HISTORY.

An effort is made by the Charlotte
Observer In its issue Of last Saturday
to correct history and establish fact.
IL lays the blame for the hard times
during the Cleveland administration
upon the Republican party and de-
clares In all seriousness that lower
prices prevailed during Mckinley's
first term than at any time when Mr.
Cleveland was President.
Cleveland assumed the duties OF Of
fee for the second term on March
18th, 1893. Such attacks as had been
made upon values prior 10 that date
came from fear of acts and policies
from a Democratic source and not
from any failure on the part of the
Harrison administration. preceding
that of Cleveland, to maintain ma
tional credit and commercial tabil-
ity. Soon after Cleveland began his
second term the Wilson-Gorman bill
became a law and countrywide
panic followed as a matter of course.
The effects of this panic, like that of
all others. were felt long after their
immediate cause was removed. and IL,
as stated, lower prices prevailed I'M
der Mckinley, although this is not an
admitted fact by any means, these
came as a direct and continued result
Of a Democratic policy enforced un-
der Cleveiand's administration. A
considerable time necessarily elapses
before a complete recovery can be
had from any financial disturbance Of
far-reaching extent, and IL the Cleve-
land panic continued into McKinley's
term the wonder may be said to be
why it did not last longer, judging
from the long and effective start tina;
had been given it.
Financial panics according to those
who make study of economic condi-
lions, come at almost regular Pc
RODS of time. The panic Of lS93was
anticipated and provision against 1t
was made by Harrison, only to prove
without avail against the low tariff
act OF Democratic administration.
All provisions possible. by whomso-
ever made, could not succeed in coun-
teracting policy that tends toward
low values for both goods and for the
labor that produces these goods, and
ii comparatively low selling values
prevailed during the first year of Nc
Kinley's term 1t was for the very sim.
pie reason that a disease attacking
even such a lusty patient as Uncle
Sam requires time for its treatmen,
and the skill of financial physician
like William Mckinley.

TO TIE INTELLIGENT VOTERS.

The Democratic party in Wake
County 10 widely divided and the Re-
publican party stands in the breach.
Among the several questions pre-
scented to the voters Is whether the
old or the new ring of the Democratic
party shall be permitted TO be in con-
troll of county affairs or whether
party that stands for the people and
their rights shall be allowed TO give
the people the rights that belong TO
them but which have been withheld
under Democratic machine rule. The
platform Of the two parties In Wake
have been placed on record-and so
have the acts OF the Democratic boss
e. The issue is now up to the vot-
ers and they will decide in accordance
with their ideas as considered from
the point OF patriotism and well-be-
ing. Such decision will be in favor OF
the Republicans, II the vote Is count
ed as east. IL not so counted the
fault will lie with the honest voters
who have failed to use due watch

Throughout the State the campaign
OF the Democrats has been conduct
ed along lines that would cast dis
credit On the most corrupt politica;
party that ever tried TO fool the
voters, aot even excepting Tammany
Hall. in New York City. They know
that they have failed to keep their

OLD SOLDIERS DisFKANCHIsED

In this weeks issue we publish an
article from the Greensboro Daily
News, showing that Confederate SOL
diers and other white men have been
disfranchised by Democratic regis
trsrs. notwithstanding that Govern or
Aycock told the people that no white
man should be DISTINGUISHED 10
North Carolina. The Governor prob
ably meant that no white man would
be disfranchised provided he would
agree to vote the Democratic ticket.
We do not beliece the honest vot-
ers of North Carolina will stand for
such methods.
It was only a few weeks ago that
Confederate soldiers in some OF the
western counties were denied a pen
sion because they would not agree to
vote the Democratic ticket.
We do not see how the Confederate
soldiers, or their friends, can AFFORD
to vote for such a party. and We do
not believe that many will vote with
that discredited party.

TWO HUNDRED MILES ABSENT.

TWO HUNDRED MILES ABSENT.
The editor OF the Shelby Aurora Ii
one of those men who are able TO
combine manIiness with editorial dig
nifty, and who does not care 10 en-
dorse attacks made without justice
on any one, no matter what may be
his political tendencies, and even In
a very warm campaign. In the latest
number OF The Aurora an editorial
appeared from which the appended
extracts are taken:
10 a previous issue OF this paper
we criticised Senator Simmons for
his cowardly back-down In condemn
ing Ex-senator Butler as "a traitor
and Benedict Arnold" and at the
same time refusing to meet him face
to fact, like a man, and confronting
him an opportunity TO defend HIM
self We criticised him for denying
TO Mr.. Butler that right which even
the murderer has under the laws OF
The land and the laws of God-the
right TO be confronted by his accus-
ers and TO answer for himself.
1t is reported in the papers that
Senator Simmons, In his Gastonia
speech. paid his respects to the Auro-
IA on account OF our criticisms, above
raforrod IN ood ropoatod b;c accault
on Butler. He is credited with say
ing that IL the Aurora will write to
a number OF leading Republicans
named by him and they say that
Butler Is not "a traitor" as alleged
by him, that he will shut up" The
Aurora doesn't care snap whether
he shuts up or not, but would like
for him to have courage enough to
face the man he assaults.
An opportunity to display such
courage, il 1t exists. will be afforded
Senator Simmons and others tomor-
row. when the former Senator speaks
in Raleigh. His challenge to his or
ponents to meet him here appeared
last week and ample time was provid-
ed for these men to prepare them
selves with a supply of their accus-
toned ammunition. but 1t is extreme
ly doubtful If any one appears to pre-
sent in person the charges they must
know are absolutely false. But the
people will be here and they are the
ones with whom the verdict rests.
