THIRD PARTY PEOPLE.
They Meet at the Court House
This Morning
And are Addressed by Col. W. F. Your 6
Committee on Credentials Re-
port and an Adjournment
Taken.

The Buchanan gathering at the
courthouse was a noisy one to say
the least about it. 1t was attended
by about 200 people, ana was called
to order by r. Ledbetter, chairman
of the Buchanan committee. On mo-
ton n l.. Whitfield was made chair
man of the convention. In taking
the chair he stated the object of the
meeting, He said they had met to
take action on the guberratorial
question. He was very much sur.
prised that he had been chosen to
preside over the deliberations of the
body, and Tom Davie said he was
too. Mr.. Whitfield had lost his hat,
coat and spectacles, but that did not
keep him from presiding. He further
stated that they would also nominate
candidate for the legislature.
On motion, ]. ID. McCurdy was
elected secretary.
The first business was the selection
of committee on credentials. This
committee was composed as follows
Jno. B. Allen, r.. Ledbetter, DR.. j,
Il. Felts, Geo. Barbee and Geo.
Herdman. The committee retiri d
and calls were made for W. f. Young
He came to the stand with a bundle
of something that he proceeded tC
unwrap. 1t turned out to be files Of
the LEAF CHRONICLE that he had
faithfully preserved. He devoted
his attention to the proceedings o.
the Democratic Executive Commit
tee and to the work done by thu
Turney Club. AT 1890 he was still
speaking, and his chief theme was
that of making war on the Demo
cratic party. In the course of his. re-
marks he said in substance that If the
party went on and nominated Judge
Turney for governor the Buchanan
crowd would put their man out as an
independent candidate and elect him
This utterance brought forth the
widest applause from the Buchanan
men, and made the straight Demo
Gratis who were present believe that
there was indeed a scheme of this
kind really on foot.
AT 1890 the committee on creden'
tials announced that they were ready
to report. An adjournment was
taken, however, until 1880.

DON'T BE BULLDOzED.

At many of your primaries you will
find certain men who will try to bull
doze members of the Alliance and pre-
vent them from taking part in the
meetings. These are the same fellows
who were awhile back so terribly
frightened about the Third party. They
declared that if the members of the
Alliance went into the Third party that
the State would be lost, and that the
country would go to the devil. Now
they have gotten afraid that the ALI
ancemen will go into the primaries and
control them, so they are trying to
find some way to keep them out. They
are trying to lay down structures and
qualifications to irritate the members
of the Alliance so thatthey will put out
a Third party ticket and not go into
the primaries. By these methods they
hope to be able to divide the Alliance
and beat it in the conventions, and
probably at the polls. This is a very
shrewd game, but it will not work.
The members of the Alliance are too
smart to be caught or fooled by such
tricks. The majority of the members
of the Alliance having decided TO go
into the primaries, all will go into them
and no township or executive commit
tee can bulldoze them or keep them out.
If the committees commence the bull
doing game and trying to rule out cer-
tain parties from the primaries, it will

SEE HOW 1T IS.

"Weavers' and Wrappers wages at
Northampton, Mass, have been re-
duced Is per cent"
The above is a dispatch gathered
from n of our exchanges, which gave
it as a simple item of news, and we
copy it that u readers may see what
is going on. If the truth could be
known you would doubtless find that
about the same time these wages were
reduced their rents were made higher,
and investigation a little further might
reveal the fact that the tenement
houses occupied by these same pro-
ducers Of capital were owned by the
plutocrats who own the factories in
which these oppressed weavers and
Wrappers work. A natural result of
u present financial system.
The object of this reduction is to
raise campaign Doodle. The laborers
in factories are bed to perpetuate our
present financial and protective sys-
tenn. When the campaign is over the
owners of the factories will fill both
pockets again.

HE CAN LEAVE.

A Raleigh man remarked the other
day that lit would take the govern
ment a thousand years to pay for the
railroads" and stated further that if
it was undertaken that he wouldn't
live in the country.
1t hasn't been more than sixty-fve
years since the first railroad was built
in this world. If the people the gov
ernmenG a pay for them in sixty
five years it can buy them and pay for
them in sixty five years again. So you
see this smart man is not so smart.
But the beauty Of the business is that
the man who said this could easily 20
to some other part of the world and
not be missed here. But as the gov
eminent owns the railroads in all
other countries, he would have some
trouble about finding a place of rest.
See?

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN7

Bro. H. E. Hodges, of Mineola,
Beaufort county, writes that there are
a number of subscribers to THE Pro,
GREssIvE FARMER at that Office, but
they have not received a copy in three
weeks. He also says that hundreds Of
sample copies of both Democratic and
Republican papers are being scattered
over the country. We have news of
this sort from various sections of the
State.
Now The PROGRESSIVE FARMER pays
its postage bills promptly, It pays
the Postoffice Department five times
as much postage as any other paper in
the State. Yet Democratic and
Republican postmasters are guilty of
criminal neglect in forwarding the
paper. We hope soon to have enough
evidence to land some of these rascals
in Albany penitentiary.

HONEST JOHN SHERMAN.

Thirty years ago Senator Sherman,
of Ohio, was nominated for Congress.
He was so poor that he had to mort
gage his home to get funds to carry on
his campaign. At five thousand a
year his salary for thirty years would
amount to only $3.50, 600. But his
check is good for several millions any
where. Now it takes a good deal of
economy to raise, educate, feed, clothe
a family in 80 years an $780, 900 and
save several million dollars out of it.
"honest John" says "you can't legis-
late money into a mans pocket"
Sherman is not the only poor fellow
who has become rich in this way. That
is the reason legislation is all against
the masses.

FOR SELFISH PURPOSES.

A number of politicians and papers
are trying to make it appear that Pres
ident Buffers object is to get himself
nominated at the next State Conven-
ton for some office on the State ticket.
They Are simply Judging Bro. Butler
by themselves. They know that they
would not do the work that he is do
ing unless it was from selfish motives,
SO they think that only personal and
selfish motives prompt him. But
there they slip up, for he is not that
kind of a man, He is making a fight
for humanity and common justice, as
every true patriot should. No, Bro.
Butler is not a candidate for any office.
And we have heard him say that he
not only was not a candidate for any
office, but that if the State Conven-
ton offered him a place on the ticket,
that he would decline it.

HYPOCRISY, RANK AND VILE.
The Deadly Parallel,

Resolution of St. Louis Democratic Platform.
COlUenttOn. Adopted JuIy8 1868.
I'VE demand that lone currency for
the Government issue the Government and
legal tender notes, and the people, the pen
pay Union soldiers the sIoner and the soldier,
difference between the the labOrer and the
price of deprecated offce-holder, the pro-
money, in which he was Queer and the bond
paid, and god" holder"
The Democratic press has been vehe-
ment in violent denunciation of the st.
Louis pension resolution. Indeed, to
read their phillipics and to hear such
men as Maj. Robbins and others in
their savage assaults, one would con-
clude that the Democratic party would
suffer crucifixion before it would ever
endorse ''such an outrageous measure"
Let the reader analyze the two parallel
propositions above and try to discover
the difference between them. There is
no difference IN their meaning. They
are essentially the same thing. But
there is a difference, vast and wide, in
the form and force of expression. The
resolution of the St. Louis Convention
is simply the expression of Individual
opinion and is binding on no one. The
other IS the PLAIN oppression Of princi-
pie and is the fifth plank IN the Demo-
cratic platform, adopted and an
nOunced OK port of the platform, and
aOas, therefore, binding on the o0hOle
democracy to cote for and support it,
as at did do throughout the campaign
of 1868, oil OUer the country. Was
there ever such blatant and disgusting
hypocrisy? And yet these loud
mouthed demagogues profess not to
understand why it is that the honest
people Of the country have lost all con
idence in them. Let the friends of re
form clip out that fifth plank of the
Democratic platform and read it to
the next demagogue he hears ranting
about the st. Louis resolution, and ask
him to close his mouth. Ask him if he
still stands on the Democratic plat
form. If his party vas right in 1868,
ask him if it is not right to stand by it
now. The biggest foolsi in the country
to day are those politicians who think
the people are fools. Remember that
the Democratic party, in it's national
convention, July 4th, 1868, adopted Gs
q port Of ats platform the pension
measure which they falsely as .ert is a
part of the St. Louis platform,

YOUR ANSWER.

The Wilmington Star of the 22d ad-
mits that the calamity howlers are
correct. 1t goes on to enumerate the
many things that they howl about, but
blames the Republican party with be
ing responsible for most of the bad
things. That is partly true and partly
not true. Some of the bad laws we're
made with the aid of Democrats, and
not a few could have been changed
long ago if the Democratic party had
stuck to it's text. The Cleveland ad-
ministration disguised a good many
people.
Among other things the Star men
tions the demonstration of silver, in
1878, says it was done by the Republi-
licans. We admit that. But only the
other day the House, with a clear
Democratic majority of 148, aided by
Is Republicans, voted to remonetize it
and the vote was a tie, consequently
the bill is now dead.
Now which is the meanest trick of
the two? A Republican House, aided
by a few Democrats, demonetized silver
in 1878, A Democratic House refused
to remOnetize it in 1892, notwithstand-
ing nearly every Democratic platform
had declared in favor of it since 1878,
and the people had been protesting
vigorously all the time. One party
mean enough to pass bad laws, the
other too mean to repeal them. Which
is the meanest?

COL. COOK RAMPANT.

Old man Cook, editor of the Concord
Standard, and who is 12O years old,
denies the fact that town people have
criticized-"made fun" of farmers.
Says he never heard any of it in his
town. Col. Cook never heard the
gospel preached either, but that is no
evidence that it is not preached in
thousands of churches every Sun
day, some of them being right in
Concord.
We never knew any of the Concord
people to be guilty of this o~ffense, but
that is no evidence that some of them
have not. But we do know that it is
a common thing. Col. Cook knows
it, too.
