Nix. EDITog.-l have remained

take the hide off of 'em poor fellows. I.
How they do Vince when you remind
them Of their broken and shattered
promises. Cur people are anxious
to know what the Democratic plat
form isuow. 1t seems that now more
are sticking strickly to the Chicago
platform while Mr.. Cleveland and a
good many others ignore 1t entirely.
Didn't the Democrats say last fall
that Mr.. Cleveland was bigger than
his party: If he is, then it seems
that Republicans and Populists will!
have to give Us free coinage if We
get it.
Say, Messrs. free silver Democrats,
do you want another president that
is bigger than his party:
The cry Of the Democratic party,
GIVE us ii chance and we will bring
prosperity in the country" Won't
YOU please inform them that they
now have a chance:
Just after the election the Democrats
said: "Cleveland is elected look
how the price of cotton is advancing.
OF course it is advancing. Don't
you see what fine prices cotton, corn,
peas, tobacco, wheat turpentine, tar,
timber in fact all products of labor
are bringing since the great Demo-
cratic victory last November:
The Democrats say we need III, r.
confidence. These same fellows think
the Democratic party is the country,
taking this view of it they are ex-
actly right, for the Democratic party
is very sadly in need Of the conf
dence of the people.
We are frequently reminded that
several Alliance stores have failed.
Yes sirs, you are ri ht. These stores
went into the time business and a
good many men who have always
been bitter against the Alliance
bought of these stores on time and
failed to take up their accounts. If
you doubt this look over the accounts
of the Sampson county Alliance
store and be convinced for your
selves. Just question Us little and
we will also show the works of some
non-p partisan Alliancemen, and then
see how much more you will howl
over Alliance failures.
Every time lie gets out in regard
to the Alliance failing or the State
Business Agency, such papers as the
Sampson county Democrat whine
and tree. Watch them when the re-
form papers show up that it was a
lie. They remain as mute as mice.
The Democrats are all abusing
Hon. B. T. Grady because he voted
to raise his own salary $1,000 year.
They say they had as live
have a yellow dog in Congress. But
listen, they say that Matt W. Ran
som and A. NJ. Waddell are patriots
and typical Democrats. In 1898
Ransom and Waddell voted in Con-
gress to raise their own salaries 81,
500 year and that without any
preteXt whatever.
Some of the ::strait-outs' tell us
that the Peoples party is dead. Will
they please tell us of anything the
Democrats have done since last cleo
ton to kill it or even weaken it.

We understand that Mr.. VIM. a.
johnson, chairman of the Demo-
cratic party of Sampson county, is
going to move to Wilmington. Won
der if the Democratic party of this
county will appoint another chair
man or if chairman George Herring
(colored) of the Republican party
will act in a double capacity?
Since so many banks have begun
to fail, why the most optimistic en-
emies of reform are beginning to
cry out hard times and say that said
failures are caused by scarcity of
money and want of confidence. WHY
it looks like they ought to know
that it is caused by an oyerproduc.
ton of banks. Nothing else.
We know Democrats, who while
they were members of the Alliance
claimed that they endorsed every
one eff the Alliance demands. Now
they cannot say anything that is bit.
ter enough against them. They say
now that these same demands thai
they once endorsed are socilistic and
would ruin the country. Why did
you ever say that the Alliance plat
form was good Democracy and was
what the country needed? Hide
your heads in shame, you villanous
cowardly TRAITORS.
