NovemBper 12, 1897._ ¢seeteconcnatenen tnt,LETTER FROM © EX-GOVERNORJARVIS .ee AEDThe State Must not be Forgottenarea on aEx-Governor and ex-SenatorJarvis writes the following letterto the editor of Webster's ~Weekly,of Reidsville, in amplification ofa former Jetter to that paper andin roply to the strictures: uponthat letter: ;When I addressed my formercommunication to your paperI only meant to express anopinion and not to engage in &controversy. Itis:still foreign tomy purpose to take any part in adiscussion with you or any otherfriecd about what-may or maynot happen a year hence, so inasking you to publish one moreletter and in commenting uponyour review of my former letterIde so for the purpose of em-phasizing and amplifying theposition therein taken.The mistaken point in yourreview, as 1t seems to me, is thatyou assume that be true, whichis impossible, to wit: the abandonment by the Democracy ofNorth Carolina of the doctrineslaid down in the Chicago platform. The harmful part of it isthat it contains what may possi-bly be taken as an admissionthat we are goiug to do whatButler charges us with having apurpose to co, to wit : weakening}_0n the great question set forthat Chicago. There is no purposeapywhere, of which I have anyknowledge, to abate one jot ortittle of our faith in our advocacyof these meastres. On the con-trary, it isfrom this swong, im-pregnable position, as | understand it, that it is proposed tomake tu fight tor the redemptionof the State, and it is upon thishigh vantage ground that it isproposed to invite the Pouplists:who haye not enlisted underBussellTs black banners, to joinus in protecting our asylums ardcities and towns and homes fromthe curses of bad Republican rule:There is no occasion, 1 seemsfo me, to apprehend that the goldDemocrats of this State willattempt to control the organiza-tion of the party or mark out itspolicies or indicate its line ofaction. 1 am obliged to givethem credit for some sense. Theymust know they are too few innumbers to do either, and I verymuch donot if they have eyerthought of attempting it. I pre-4, dict that the men chosen nextyear to lead the Democraticforces will be as true, as sincere| and as loyal in. their deyotion toithe Chicago platform as you or I,and still I assert that it 1s my~belief that the dark and dirtyrecord of the last Legislature andT of the Republican administration- will be the issue uvon which thegreat battle for the redemptionof the State will be fought.There is hardly a week pacsesthat we do not have some newand startling evidence of theef!lementable condition of thingsbrought upon the State by theButler- Russell combine, and the, | utter inability of the Republi canparty to give the State a decentadministration df its affairs. "Now a word ~in ~roply"to whatyou said about te campaign of1894. Iquote frem your editorialas follows: ~We need: hardly toAen pd Gorey 1.08 Jarvis that theweak point-in-the campaign of1994 was the failure ofthe partyto ~ing full and clear on thestump for silverT It.cannot besaid that J was.ene of those whofailed to ring out.

Whether weshould agree or not as tu thecause of our overwhelmg defeatis vot material in settlirg ourapparent differences about thecampaign of 1896, There is this,however, in reference to cam"paign of 1894 about which wecannot disagree and that is this:the Democratic party was on thedefensive from start to fiaish. Itwill be admitted, 1 presume, thatLhave had some experience incampaign work in North Cerolina.With this long experience I as-sert it was the first defensivecampaign in which [I was everengaged, and I ean insure youI have no desire for another fightof the kind. I prefer to lead orfight in the ranks of the attackiagcolumn. It is more to my dking,and I want to see the Democraticparty assume the aggressive 1D "98and attack and expose to publicgaze the defensize record of theRepublican administration till itis made, agit deserves to be, &stench in the nostrils of everydecent man in the State, And,by the way, i will dare make thesuggestion that our Democraticpapers ought to be at that workcan neyer be equitably adjustedand fairly settled in the trueinterests of the people till thehungry pie-hunting crowd whoare now dragging down the mostsacrea jaterests of the State aredrniyen from power.You may not have noticed asclosely as I have, because youmay not hawe kad the opportuni-ties, but still it 18 a fact that mustimpress itself upon you andevery othe thoughtful, observantman, that there is under Keoub-lican rule in this State, andalways has been, a terrible lower-ing of the standard of publicvirtue and public aspirations.Why this is so 1 need not nowdiscuss. I simply state the factand with me it outweighs a mul-titude of minor questions. whichgome of you brethren of the pressare making so prominent, andabout which our friends are uotagreed. It has been the missionof the Democratic party to leadthe people of our dear old Stateup out of the mire and filth ofRepublican misrule to a higherand. better life. I have givensome of the best years of my lifetothis work, and I trust that Imay be spared to again 8�,�e itfulfilling this migsicn. Couldanyching be more absurd thanthat those who bear the bannerof thie party next year, as it goesforth upon its great mission,should go about the State dis~cussing the Chicago platform,when right in front of then, andupon every side of them, staringthem fullin the face, stand theevidences of a debauched publicservice and the curse ot Russeil-selt and Butler better. Will wedoit? 1 think not.Pardon me for making onemore extract from your paper.Yousay! oWe cannot see thatitis any worse to befriendly withPopulists in State affairs than tonow instead of wrangling with,each other about questions which:ism? Nothing could please Rus-invite the aid of their organiza-tion in a national election.� Inthie Tquite agree with you if we|understand this question alike.If it is meant that we shall, in thecampaign nextyear, ibe sincerely,genuinely friendly with the Pop-ulists, giving them substantialasserances of-ocr desire to havethem go with usin the fight]against Rueselism and for theredemption of the State, then Ithink you will find the partyendorsing that position ; but if itis meant that-a reciprocity treatyisto be negotiated with Butlerfor the support of his organiza-ticn, then I ~think the man whoundertakes that job will be ableto count his ~fcllewers upon hisfingers.

Andit may not be out of place to sayit in this connetion that there isin Mr. ButlerTs life one character-istic which has greatly distin-cuished him ia this State, and towhich he has been loyal! and true,aud that is capacity and fondnessfor trading avd traficking iroffice for office, But take thisdistinguished characteristic oatof bis political life and the bal-avee cf it 18 like the shiftingsands of the seashore, everchanging. Unless i am greatlymistaken, the aspiriug Vemocratwho expects to win favor forhimself and success for hisparty through an agreement withSenator Butler will find his hopeswither and decay.Indulge me, my good friend, inone or two more sugzesuions and{ will not further tiansgress uponyour space Or the patience ofyour readers.Treckon I have as little per-'sonal knowledge of the plunsand purposes of Governor Rus-geli and Senator butler as anyman in the State, for neitheruave spoken to me, that I cannow recall, in over a year. and Jventure the guess that no twomen in the State would givemore or go further to get up aniesue for 1898 that would obscureand rub out of sight the racequestion and the dark recordthey have made in legislationand admimistration than thevwould. ~Their persistent butfruitless effort to find or makesuch an issue must have beenamusing to observant, thoughtfulmen. Occasionally they seem fora little time to have some slightsuccess, but as the iniquity oftheir administration of publicaffairs becomes better known, pa-pers and people begin tocry outfor better government adminis-tered by better men. In theirsight the man who pleads forwhite supremacy and good gov-ernment is unworthy of the con-fidence or the attention of thepeople, because they know fullwell they can furnish neitder, putonly tet some Democrat suggest |in spoech or letter that the battleought to be fought on other linesand-they are ready at once to be-come his publisher. patron andenlogist: |{ may not know anything of the}sentiment of the people.
