THE JOB COMPLETED.

The Republican convention en-
dorsed the Third party ticket al
halifax last Friday by vote OF Ii
to IS. The Third party had little
strength before and the vote In the
Republican convention showed that
thew can count on only little more
than half of the colored vote, just
seventeen thirty-seconds OF 1t; and
this finishes the job they have been
hammerlng at all the time.
Finishes it because the vote on
Nov. 9Th will :show them to be In
dismayed minority. When fifteen
negroes out of every thlrty'two In
the county vote the democratic ticket
the Tbird party will be much farther
behind than they have dreamed of.
s'Oh, that's clap-trap." says some
Thirdite who is hungry for office.
Very well; the vote on the 9Th will
show.

The Third party people thought
they were capturing the color
ed vote when they bought them
over last Friday to endorse the Third
party ticket. But when election day
comes they will find the colored peo
pie voting the democratic ticket
and don't you forget it. Whlskey and
such like can hold some of them per
haps, but it can't hold them all.
The colored people openly dec al 9
that they will not vote the fusion
ticket.
The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1892-10-20

The voters of Halifax county have
no longer any grounds for hesitancy
1t ls now pitched battle between
the Democratic party and the fusion
of the Third party and the Republi
eau party. What will you do2 Will
you stand by the principles Of dem
ocracy, which has always bsen on the
side OF the people, or will you go into
the combination of the Republican
party with the Third party?
We believe the strength of the pee
pie Is yet for democracy.
The Third party swallowed the
Alliance at Halifax in August, and
last Friday the Republican party
jumped into its open mouth. Bu,
1t is like snake swallowing a catfish
1t will never get all the Republi-
can party down. Some of the Re.
puohcsns have caught by the fms;
and now the Third party in his
county Is like the snake trying %
swallow the catfish. They have got
u so lar and it will go no farther
lucy can't get it up and it won't 90
down. e.
he c"I"Ied people say they have
no ticket of their own to vote for:
ana they will take chances with the
democrats.
Iney are sensible in saying so; for
tne Third party is no chance at all.

Badly Ratified.

The demoralized remnant of the
grand old party in Kansas is the worst
ratified outfit now extant. They have
not a single principle upon which to
base a campaign. They would like
to endorse prohibition but fear TO Of
fend the resubmissionists. They would
like to say nothing upon the subject
but fear to offend the prohibitionists
They have gone squarely back on
their professions upon the silver ques-
ton in 1890 and 1891. Reciprocity
has been superseded by re-affirma-
ton of the doctrine of a high pro-
tective tariff by the Minneapolis con-
vention. Nothing is left but the
bloody shirt and that is so badly
tattered and torn that it will not
stand the storms of the campaign.
The ticket placed in the field by the
Peoples party is absolutely unassaila-
BILE. 1t commands the respect and
confidence of honest men irrespective
of party. On the other hand the men
who are coming to the front in the
Republican party are recognized tools
OF corporations and the very worst
tr cksters in the state. The poor old

living forty years in q free govern
ment and as am one of the hay
seeda Gas We are called). would like
to ask our enemies and the tender
toed brethren few questions says q
writer in the National Economist As
America was settled by colonies it is
evident that they were hayseeda as
they were subject to their mother
country.
Who rebelled against high tribute?
The hayseeds. Who met in confer
ence and declared against despotic
power? The hayseeds. Who took
up guns against oppression? The
hayseeds. Who bore the privations
of revolutions? The hayseeda Who
gained our ibertiesp The hayseeds.
Who established our government
The hayseeda Who formulated our
constitution? The hayseeda Who
supported and managed our govern.
ment for sixty years of prosperity?
The hayseeds. Who pays four-fifths
Of the taxes to-day? The hayseeds
Who owns but one-fourth of the
wealth Of the nation? The hayseeda
Who produces the wealth of the ma
ton? The hayseeda Who composes
the government by right! The hay.
seeds Who holds the stars and
stripes while they float in freedom 8
breeze? The hayseeds. Who feeds
the hungry worldP The nayseeds.
Who owns the other three fourths OF
the wealth of the nation? The thirty
one thousand gold-bugs. How did
they get it? By robbing tie hay
seeds How did they get power to
rob them? By class Legislation, dis
grace to. the interests of the hay
seeds! What kind of laws did they
make that effected the hayseeds?
They changed the currency into gold
banks free from taxation. established
national banks which gave them con-
troll of the currency; so they can con-
tract at will and make money scarce
when the crops are dumped on the
market produced by the hayseeds
They demonetized silver destroying
our unit and reducing our per capita
fund. and then put a high tariff on all
commodities consumed by the hay
seeds. AS both old parties have had
the reins Of government in hand and
have not passed one single act in
fave OF the hayseeds I think that it
is full time that we withdraw our
fealty from both. begin to think for
ourselves. and make some change.
