MR.. EDITOR:-In your issue OF Jqly
18th, you do the nominees of the Peo-
pies party in the Third district C9n.

assuming that they were n~ominatedOy
minority of that convention. you
state correctly that "a motion toad

informant forgot that a mo ion to re-

that this motion was also carried. -
The convention then proceeded WIN

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The old parties better give up
the fight. They are already whipped,
and tbs useless to continue the battle.
Some henologist says that if you
want good results don't set refC rm
eggs under old party hens Don't do
it, now.
Prof. w. T. Ray, editor of the
Piedmont Herald, Leaksville, called
to see us last Tuesday. He is quite a
pleasant gentleman.
- Stand to the Alliance and it's
principles. If you don't think the old
parties are true to Alliance principles,
then hunt a party that is.
The Wilmington Messenger says
the Democratic party is whipped just
now, but thinks it will get there by
fall. The longer the worse, Doctor.
A correspondent writing from
Tyren county says the circulation of
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER is growing
in that section and it is eagerly read
by all.
Cleveland is the Democratic
platform of 1892" says the Whining
ton Messenger. Doubtless that is true,
but large az he is he cannot hold up
many voters.
We are troubled about one thing.
The judges of election must come from
more than one party. AS it is, there
will be but one party-the People's-in
North Carolina.
~ We cannot, as a rule, give nor
than one notice of meetings, political
or otherwise. There are so many de-
mands upon our columns that it makes
this rule a necessity.
Mr.. J. J. Woody writes from
Creswell that Washington county has
a strong Peoples party ticket in the
field, and expect to sweep the county
clean with it in November.
The annual catalogue of the
Raleigh Male Academy, Messrs. Nor
son and benson, Principles, has been
received. The past year has been a
successful one with that school.
~ At a Peoples party picnic in
Norton county 352 old soldiers were
present. 351 of them were Third party
men end n was a republican, says
the Council Grove, Ran Courier.
~ Again we must beg our friends
20 write brief articles. We are crowd
ed to the brim with matter now. Glad
to hear from all, but if you expect your
articles to be printed cut them short.
~ The new building of Fairview In
stitute, neal GIbsonville, is being fur
nished throughout with new desks.
etc., in order TO meet the demand for
more room. Fall term opens Aug. 9Th.
~ 1t is reported that negroes are
being shipped to Kansas from some of
the Southern States for election pur-
poses. That, if true, shows that old
party managers are getting in des-
perate straits.
~ Capt. ]. S. Bridgers, chairman of
the Peoples party executive committee
in the 9TH Congressional District. has
been quite sick for some weeks. Col.
FL. A. Forney is looking after his duties

Col. Rob, I just said that for
fun. I know that turnips and wheat
grow wild, without cultivation, but
you can curry your corn or sprout

The reception of General Weaver

something wonderful. The old parties
in Colorado have practically disbanded
and are solid for the Omaha nominees.
General Viewers meeting at the
Coliseum was crowded almost to suffo-
cation, fully 5000 people being packed
into the building. Every allusion to
free coinage met with rousing cheers,
long and loud. The Generals mastery
arguments touching the Sub-Treas ury

entire audience.
Mrs. Lease addressed the meeting
also and in addition spoke to an over
