f ] ‘~:Y Piik ^HBI.ISHED TUESDAY AKD VKIDAY. RY Ed. F. DkCamp. CLEVELAND ELIMINATED. In the following letter to Mr. St Olair McKelway, editor of the Bro o - lyn Eagle, Mr. Grover Cleveland sets at rest all probability of bis beoonoing a candidate for the preidency : • Pkinceton N. J . Nov. 25. "My Dear Mr. McKelway: "I have waited for a long time to •ay souaetbing which I think should be said to you before others. You can never know how grateful I am for the manifestations of kindly feeling toward me on the part of my coun trymen, which your Initiation has brought out. Your advocacy in Tbe Eagle of my nomination for the pres idency came to me as a great sur prise and it has been seconded in ■ucb a manner by Democratic stnli ment that conflicting thoughts of gratitude and duty have caused me to hesitate as the time and manner of a declaration on my part concerning the subject—if such a declaration should seem necessary or proper. "In the midst of it all and in the fall view of every consideration, I have not for a moment been able,nor am I now able, to open my mind to the thought, that in any circum stance, or upon any consideration, I should ever again become the nomi nee of my party for the presidency. My determination not to do so is un* alterable and conclusive. This you at least, ought to know from me, and I should be glad if The Eagle were made the medium of its conveyance to the public. "Very sincerely yours. "Grover Cleveland ” Read that letter once more, please And then read it again. Read it thoughtfully, earnestly and studious ly Weigh the words, give ear to the sentiment a ad then tell us that it tomes from the heart of a traitor, if you oao ! "Conflicting thoughts of gratitude and duty h'tve caused me to hesitate as to the time and manner of a declaration on my part ” No suggestion of his ever having entertained the idea of being a candi date, but only hesitated as to the time aod manner of bis declaration. Listen once more as he says: "In the midst of it all and in the full view of every consideration, I have not for a moment been able, nor am I now able, to open my mind to the thought, that in any circumstance, or upon any consideration, I should ever again become the nominee of my party for ihe presidency." i’be nominee of “my” party! And yet some would call Grover Cleveland a traitor I A man who has been buffed and rebuked as has this man by the machinery of the Democratic party and yet has the magnanimiy to say "my" party deserves better. This is the last time we shall refer to Grover Cleveland as a presidential possibility. By his own decree a fur ther reference to the subject is out of place. But in leaving the subject we wish to say that in our opicion the party is the sufferer from his declara tion. Notwithstanding all the vi tuperation and abuse that have bten heaped upon him be yet remains thf foremost American statesman,aod he has been the truest and best friend the South ever had in the presidental chair. No other man has been able to lead us to victory since 1856, and while the tima is propitious of sue cess we fear that unless the party has the wisdom to select a man as near like Cleveland as it can that we are doomed to four more years of Rooseveitism. But if the balanc- can stand it we will endure it,no mat ter bow distasteful D may prove. NOTES AND COMMENTS. and placed two more of them in jail to be tried for their lives. People may worship the dispensary because of its origin, and for, if possible, the baser cause—the money it makes, but it is not a "great moral institution.” Its whiskey destroys the peace of families and the lives of those who drink it, just like barroom liquor,and the trials of th* offenders that it causes to violate the laws cost the State as much. Drive the dispensary out of the State, as you would a leper from your homes and fight to keep it and barrooms both out, as you would fight against an invading army. INMAN IS DEAD. Died of Wounds Received In a Row Tuesday NlKht. Smith Inman, a white man who was hurt in a drunken row on the public highway tear Mabrj’s mill in the lower pari of the county last Tuesday night, and for which Milford McCombs was arrested and placed in jail, died of his injuries Friday morn ing about 2 o’clock without eter re gaining consciousness. He was at tended by Drs. Douglass and Oliver Tate. They did everything possible for him but from the start they pro uounced his injuries fatal. Magistrate W. E. Mabry, acting ebroner, summoned |a jjury Friday, compossed of J. A. Hames, J. E Fos ter, A. J. Harris, J. G Hames. H B. Robertson,D. J. Horn. J. T. Harmon Cbas. M. Littlejohn, Edgar Orr, Jas W. Sparks, W. M. Worthy and J. H. Bentley. Dr. W. J. Douglass testified that he had examined the body of Smith In man, and that he found a wound on the left side of his head that penetra ted the brains, which caused sufficient shock aud hemorrhage to cause his death. Several of those present at the row Tuesday night were sworn and testi tied before the jury. After all the testimony was in, the jury retired and after mature deliberation made the following verdict: "We do say upon our oaths, that Smith lomau came to his death by a blow with a sharp instrument in the hands of Milford McCombs, the blow being nn the left side of the head; and we also find John Murry accessory to the killing.” Murry was arrested at the same time McCombs was, immediatclj after the row, but our information then was, that he was only charged with being drunk and disordtrly on the public highway. McCombs aud Marry are both in jail under the respective charges agUr.-r i he;n. All agree that Mc Combs ..-d ol.Ij joined the party a few minutes before the trouble, and that he was sober.
