TIIK STATED.
Mr. Cleveland, in his speech at the
Buffalonian dinner in New York the
other night, summed up the one great
issue of the campaign, in a comprehen
sive paragraph that should be read and
pondered by every American:
On one side the claim is defiantly and
arrogantly announced that the functions
of our government may be used directly
for the benefit of certain special inter
ests with at best a very remote regard
to the welfare of the masses of the people
xu wpposmon to tms an anneal is made
to our fellow citizens to hold fast to the
doctrine that their government should
at ail times be administered directlv for
hem and that they should not be obliged
to receive as their share of the blessings
of the free srovernment thev maintain
VJ
the small portion which may filter
through to them in the process of mak ing
special beneficiaries rich. In other
words, the democratic party is insisting
upon the honest application of the rule
that a government by the people should
oe a government for the neon r.
" j g .
IT has been very clearly established
that the candidacy of Buchanan in Ten
nessee for governor is the result of a cor
rupt bargain between the leaders of the
third party" in that State and the repub
lican national committee. Ten thousand
dollars of ahe bargain money ia reported
to have been paid in cash to these lead
ers, and for the payment of
the balance of the purchase money
a fixed time named. This is the
way the third party leaders in Tennes
see have sold out to the - republicans.
They put the bargain money into their
pockets, and let the rank and file whis
tle for what they can get.
A similar policy has been followed in
other Southern States, and it is charged
upon good evidence that the third party
leaders in North Carolina have sold out
to the republicans. Recent develop
ments furnish corroborative evidence in
proof of the infamous transaction.
Iv- his 8p;tch at Albiny lat Saturday
rigl rex-Speaker Heed said:
"They sy we cannot coerce a State
;;e Jivil, tj, .y ay 1 We coerced eleven
u.,c I wvaour republicans had more

,
according to the oath, could not be
more secret. It invests the chief Gideon
with a power as autocratic as the power
possessed by the Russian Czar. And
6iich authority was conferred on a man
like S. Otho Wilson! Great God, what
could any one be thinking about to place
his life and property at the disposal of
such a natural anarchist as Wilson?
We can account for such a step upon no
other ground than that some of our peo
ple have allowed themselves to read but
one side of public questions only, until
they have become mental cowards. When
a man loses his mental freedom all is
gone that makes a man, for mind consti
tutes the majesty of man, as does virtue
his nobility, and without these he is but.
an uncivilized savage, ready for slavery
or lawlessness
We do not believe that the negro
voters of North Carolina intend to be
led by such political bankrupts as
Eaves and Wilson. Their self respect
should cause them to promptly resent the
insult offered their race by the attitude
in which they have been placed by the
political trickery and deception practiced
by Eaves and Wilson. The chicanery of
these two men have placed the voters of
their respective parties before the whole
country as without political principle,
and ruidy to obey any command given
by them. The voters of no political
party have esrer before been paraded be
fore the country as in the market for
sale as Eaves and Wilson have paraded
the voters of the parties they repiesent.
Tlie Tennessee Conspiracy.
Courier-Journal.
The proof preseuted in yesterday's
Courier Journal of the bargain between
John H. McDowell, the third party lead
er in Tennessee, and the republican na
tional committee is conclusive and damn
ing. It is given over their own signa
tures by republican witnesses of unques
tioned standing and credibility, one of
them being Mr. J. J. Ivins, the editor of
the leading republican paper in the State,
and the other being Mr. G. W. Hill, the
Ten nessee member of the republican na
tional committee.
According to them McDowell con
tracted to bring out Buchanan as a gu
bernatorial candidate, and to throw the
Populist vote for Harrison and Reid in !
consideration of $15,000 from the na
tional committee and the promise of the
republicans to support him (McDowell)
for the United States Senatorship. Ten
thousand dollars of the money ha9 al
ready been paid by chairman Carter to
McDowell, and the remaining $5,000 is
to be paid ten dayg before the election.
An attempt has been made to conduct
the State, Congressional and National
campaigns in accordance with this bar
gain, but the Republicans, getting the
worst of it at every turn, are already sick
of it. McDowell, avaricious and ambi
tious adventurer that he is, has shown
them his true colors, squeezing them for
money at every opportunity and shaking
an extra card from his sleeve whenever
a trick in the'game is needed. Ivins and
Hill, who seem to have acquiesced in the
arrangement at first on the ground that
anything is fair in politics, are now out
spoken in the expression of their disgust
and of their fears as to the disastrous
effects of the deal on the chances of the
republicans.

The evidence that h is been submitted
to prove that a secret political society is
at work in our midst is conclusive. It
has n t been denied by f.he parti?'; open
ly charged with being at its head. The
mm who have made the charjre are men
of character, and in attestation of the
ruth of what they have stated they have
afiixed their signatures
It now bthooves every good citizen of
the State, regardless of his political
affiliations, to aid in defeating the aims
of this secret political society. Such
things cannot be tolerated by any peo
ple who desire to live in peace and
safetv. No rann can feel that his life, his
home is safe when he is surrounded by
an oath-bound society whoe counsels are
matured at midnight, and of whose ap
proaches no one can know save the
executioner of the decree of the order.
Is it not time for the brave and loyal
sons of North Carolina to arrest in its
incipiency the growth of this counterpart
of the Italian mafia?
It is a matter of common knowledge
that the development of the South so
active and promising when Mr. Cleve
land left the White House -was arrested
when the hostile sectional policy of the
present, administration became manifest.
The force bill and tariff bill of 1S90 were
a revelation to investors. When it waa
perceived by capitalists in the North and
in England that the South was still re
garded by republican leaders as a section
under proscription the stream of money
then flowing into Southern mine3, millg
and factories was quickly checked. Th
McKinley bill, it was seen, would dis
criminate against Southern agriculture
by making machinery. supplies, etc., more
expensive, at the same time that it less
ened the foreign demand for Southern
ootton. The force bill, it was
clear, would produce turmoil through
out the South, disorganize industry and
destroy prosperity. So evident was ail
this that investors took fright. The vivi
fying influx of capital waa stopped, im
migration ceased and industries already
established subjected to a severe strain.
The tariff lords of Pittsburg saw witk
delight that the movement for the rapid
development of the iron industry in Vir
ginia and Alabama bad been arrested.
The furnaces were to stay where they
were in the North thanks to the higk
rates of the McKinley bill and to the dis
trust inspired by the force bill. Th
mere introduction of the latter measure
accomplished in part the purpose of per
sons interested to prevent the develop
ment of the South's resources.
A striking picture of the effects of the
bitter policy of Mr. Harrison, Speaker
Reed, Senator Hoar and other leaders of
the republican party is presented iD Gen
