at it's next session the passage of a
secret ballot law, with a provision in
said law that will secure to voters who
cannot read an opportunity to vote.
We deplore the corrupting use of
money in elections as tending to de-
grade manhood and to corrupt the
ballot box, and we do denounce all at
tempts to subvert the rights of the peo-
pie at the ballot box and an effort to
deprive them of affair and honest count
when the votes have been cast.
Whereas, there are large railroad
properties and interests in this State
now escaping taxation in whole or in
part; and whereas, further, it is in the
province of the General Assembly of
North Carolina to make all property
in the State bear it's equal burden of
taxation; now, therefore,
Resolved, That we demand of the
General Assembly of North Carolina to
force, as far rs is in it's power, all rail
road property and interests that are
now escaping taxation, in whole or in
part, to pay It's full and equal share of
taxes for support of the Government
of North Carolina as the property of
farmers, laborers and other citizens
are now taxed.
3. That we demand that no further
franchises or privileges in the way Of
amended or extended charters or other
wise be granted any corporation claim
ing exemption of taxation, until such
corporation or corporations make a
complete and unqualified surrender of
any claimed exemption from taxation.
Whereas, it is believed by many that
there will be an effort to repeal the
Railroad Commission bill or cripple it
by amendments; therefore
We demand of the next General As
sembly of North Carolina that it shall
sustain the present Railroad Commits
sion bill, that no amendment lessening
or hampering the power of the Com
mission shall be passed, and that only
amendments Gt any at alb such as
may or will increase the efficiency of
the Commission and perfect the ma
chinery and details of the same, shall
be enacted into law.
Resolved, That this Convention en-
dorse the platform adopted by the Ma
tional Peoples party at Omaha, July
4, 1892.

with pleasure to a letter written by nv
warm personal friend, Hon. A. @.
Avery, Associate Justice of the Su-
preme Court and a heightened Chris
tian gentleman, to DIR. J. J. Mott. then
collector of the 9th revenu district of
North Carolina, endorsing his course
in placing confidence in my abil-
ity, honesty and all neces sary qualii-
cations to discharge the duties of the
high trust to which he saw proper to
assign me. But if / had been singled
out as an object of abuse by those wise
Alexis, l should feel that / was a clog
to the State ticket, but not so. Every
man on the ticket has and is having
abuse after abuse heaped upon him,
and using the language of the great
and good Polk, if our cause is right the
God of nations will protect and guide
US safely through this frey ordeal and
we will finally triumph
Mr.. Editor, for the past two weeks
have you seer a line written by the
bourbon papers in defence of their doc
trine or showing the people when or
how the Democratic party would bring
relief to the country, or have you seen
an unkind word about the Republican
party7 No, sir, their guns are all
turned towards the Peoples party.
Well, let them fire away, every attack
only tends to solidify our ranks and
bring to us new recruits.
The high position for which I was
nominated was totally unsought by
me, but as the people have placed me
there, I expect to be in the first ranks,
battling for the Peoples party, and
when the smoke disappears on the
morning after the election, 1 will still
be at my post, and if successful a grand
victory it will be. If defeated, we will
pick our fints and be ready for an.
this be understood, we have come to
stay. Respectfully,
r. A. COBB.

Mr.. EDITOR:-It is with regret that l
ask space in your valuable paper to re-
flute some malicious, mean, cOntempti-
BILE thrusts that a few of the bourbon
papers are making at me, for so much
desired that this campaign would be
conducted upon a higher plane than
by resorting to any conceivable
method of misrepresentation and black
mailing and also attacking the dearest
treasure a man has on earth-his pri-
vate character. AS to their attempt
TO lmpIicate me with any irregularity
while connected with the revenue de-
partment, l only have to refer to the
wel-known investigating committee,
which covered every period of my con
nection with the evenue department.,
and in that investigation every avenue
vas travelled to try to find some rreg-
ularity to implicate DR.. Mott and any
of his subordinate officers, and after
spending thousand of dollars in a free
and full investigation, with all the wit
nesses the government called for, the
evidence before Messrs. Vance, billiard
and Mitchell, those gentlemen reported
to the authorities at Washington that
the implications were false, and as a
! part of the record which is now on Gle

We favor the fullest encouragement

Whereas the last General Assembly

H REAL TRUTH
The Clinton Caucasian truly say.

The Clinton Caucasian truly says:
Carr and Jarvis talked pathetically
about the tariff being wrong and OPP
pressive, but did either one suggest
anything to take the place of it as a
means of raising revenue9 No. Dear
reader, let us now make a statement
that you will endorse if you are living
fifty years from today. It is this:
the people will get any substan-
tial relief from the tariff from any
party until it is abolished and the reve-
nues of the government are raised by
some just and honest system"

Mr.. Posey offered an amendment TO the
Australian ballot Law, hen V was upfbr dis
cusslon and amendment ia the Senate ou
Tuesday last, providing that where marx is
made opposite an emblem aud then opposite
the name Of a candidate under that emblem II
shall count for the whole ticket. instead Of for
the marked candidates alone, as ar present.
Several spetchss were mHde, hDe1uoc-at Up
posing II because as alleged, it would do no
good, and Republicans favoring it, because
as, it was explained By Messrs Posey, Coffin,
Pearre and Wilkinson, that the adoption of
the amendment would prevent the repe titicn
of a similar fraud to that perpelrated in all
Maryland counties by the surveyor
marking trick, praeticed at last election in
those counties, whereby only vote for the
Republican surveyor was counted and Repub-
licans we're buucoed out of their votes 1t is
needless to add that the amendment was voted
down by the Democrats. But. it must be
added to their honor and credit, that two
Democratic Senators, Mr.. Moss, of Anne
Aru1del, aud Dr. wootep, of Montgomery,
cast their votes in favor Of the smendment to
prevent a repettion CT the marked ticket
fraud.

The County Commissioners should give
their Immediate attention to the bad hole and

erwise they may have suit foi~damsge- on
their hands.
A bridge on the public road near Burch's
stable, in this village, is badly broken and it
should be repaired by somebody, but by
whom seems to be a question. The County
Commissioners couteni that the Port Tobacco
Town Commissioners should make the needed
repairs, but, as the corporation Of this village
is defunct, and as there has been failure
upon the part of the County Commissioners to
pay over one half of town taxes, as prosided
by law, to the corporation of Port Tobacco
for the reason that the corporation ezisisonly
in narse, and, as a corporation that is dead
cannot do any thing, we thiuk that the Coun-
ty Commissioners should make Necessary re-
pairs 10 roads and bridges in the old rorpo-
rate limits, especially SO as there Is no ccrpo-
rate tax assessed or paid by the citizens. The
roa Is and bridges in and around the Town
should not be worse than elsewhere ip the
