Well isn't II amusing though I,
see how Democrats are abusing eacl
other aud finding fault with thei
President!
Before the election the DemocratIt
papers and speakers spoke of Cleve
land as the great, immaculate Grove1
the man who was bigger than hi,
party. Now they say that they were
deceived in Grover. Hurrah boys
I'll swear you are daisies.
Nine months $50, anybody who
didn't vote for Cleveland was an
anarchist. and enemy TO law and
good government. What do You ex-
treme democratic brethren, who ere
now so severely criticising Grover
say?
1t seems that we heard Democrat
lc speakers and editors tell the peo-
pie last fall that Cleveland and the
Democratic party were in favor of
free silver. We thought We heard il i,
| guess We were mistaken. We re-
gret very much that we get things so
tangled in our minds.
Remember voters, that the Legis-
lature of 1898 that tried to repeal the
Alliance charter only cost the people
of the State little more than $3ll.-
900. more than did the Legislature
of 1891 that was controlled by the
Alliance.
Some democrats now say that such
democrats as Vance, Bland and
Bryan will organize the tth party.
Did you know that the Raleigh
correspondent, of the Wilmington
and Weldon Railroad Messenger
some time since, was lamenting or
rather wondering that while the
Popullst Party is rallying its forces
that they never hear anything of Nr.
John B. Eayes. | guess he thinks
that the Democratic party is getting
IN rather close place and he wants
this Republican leader to help them
out again.
We were asked the other day if we
knew any politicians who make
money at it. OF course we do, Josie
Daniels and Chairman George Her
ring (col.) make money by dabbling
in politics.
We hear numbers of democrats
say now that they are Vance Demo
Gratis, That's right boys, but you
Will tind that you will have to give
up the name DEMOCRAT" before you
can ever get that policy carried out.
Democrats said just before the
election that Cleveland was defeated
four years ago, because he was too
honest. Democrats, why are you
abusing him now9 Is be too honest
for you9
Some democrats say that if Vance
were to come to us that they can
beat us in the next election. They
say that they bought the negroes be-
fore and can do it again. We think
that there are some colored folk who
are too honest to sell their votes and
too wise to be fooled again.
Josie Daniels the little pie nibbler
at Washington, who edits the Wall
Street North Carolinian at Raleigh,
says the issue sheet of Aug. 11th:
"a man who favors a gold standard
may be a good democrat if he has
i'm bibed the true principles of democ-
racy." Josie, please tell us what the
true principles of democracy are
Our speakers and editors told US last
fall that to be a true democrat you
must favor the free coinage of both
gold and silver and a reduction of
the tariff.
Hello DR.. Thompson! do you ever
hear how Jim and Ed are having
their little parrot to sing in their
little sheets these troublous times
since Vance has taken a stand and
Cleveland and majority of the
democracy deserted the Democratic
platforml
Well don't the demo let their
Gideon's Band lie low these times ?
1t seems to sleep with the tariff is
| sue.
We met a democrat the other day
and he said that the reason we Third
Party people were crying hard times
! and wanted more money is that we
had gotten behind and wanted to
pay out Of debt. We went on lit
tie further and met a democrat who
was also complaining of hard times
and said he couldn't sell his tobacco.
We thought democrats all had money
in great abundance.
The democrats have become to be
a band of calamity howlers. Stop
it, democrats don't you know there
is plenty of money in circulation.
It is overproduction that causes al
these hard times.
Do you think of joining the 4th
party' We think that sensible peo.
pie will stop at the trd party.
Listen how democrats are now
indorsing Vance for his position or
the Sherman Law. They say he is
correct. Why do they say so' The
people are with him You remem
Der how they abused him at first an6
said that he was out of line with hi:
party. Oh. consistency, thou art ;
jewel.
Look my friends, and see wha
party is advocating the thing yo,
want. Is it not the Peoples Party
Fellow citizens; how many of yol
voted the Democratic ticket last fal
because the bosses came round ans
