EDITOR CAUCASIAN:-ln your last

the Secretary of the State Alliance if
he had forwarded the resolutions
passed by the State Alliance at its
last session in Green sboro to Senator
Vance, commencing him for his
stand on the silver question.
In answer | Will say that | for

cry other member of congress from
North Carolina a copy of the resolu-
tions the latter part of August or
first of ep'ember. From Repre-
sentatives Alexander, Grady. Wood
ard and Henderson | received an ac-
acknowledgement, but from Senator's
Vance and Ransom and the remain
der of members from this State no
answer. The day after the speech of
Senator Vance in Raleigh, Oct. 18th,
| forwarded him a second copy of
the resolutions and asked him to let
me know if he received the copy of
resolutions sent him in August or
September. He answered acknowl
edging receipt of resolutions of 18th
but gave no answer in regard to fiji st
set sent him.
Yours truly and fraternally,

An IMPORTANT QUESTION A>wERfD

How shall woman make her
| husband her friend.
There Is one indispensable quality
of happy friendship that many
women neglect-lnterest. Assume
that the wife has her husbands re-
spect, assume. further, that She.
makes him comfortable a matter of
vast lmportanee), all the same. the
poor fellow, when home. NAV be
bored to death. The house is de
hghtful. the dinner has aroused all
his vlrtuous instincts by its excel
lence: Madame, his wife. possessor
Of all the virtues, looks very pretty
over her embroidery; but-but-
after she has told him about the
baby's stretching out Its little arms.
and Iommy's wonderful cleverness
IN the kindergarten and the stupid
lty of Emma, the waitress, and the
"perfectly awful way" the new fur
mace consumes coal, there falls a
pause like "a wet blanket. He can
not spend a whole evening over the
newspapers, even the folios that we
so name. Madame does not care a
rap for politics, she does not under
stand business land after certain
memorable efforts to enlighten her.

martyr crown enough to continue
her financial educationD, she is not
fond of games, and he is not fond of
books, so, after a while, he kisses
her, and goes off down town" on

How many women hate that i'm
personal rival and, in their minds,
teacher of all the small viees-the
club. They honestly believe that if
their particular naturally virtuous
Tom. Dick or Harry were not lured
away by that detestable club, he
would spend every evening In the
week at home. 1t is in vain TO point
out to such women that some of the
most devoted husbands belong to
clubs, or that, in general, the re-
spectacle clubs distinctly discourage
high play: or that innumerable times
they take the burden of hopitality
off her shoulders. She is sure that
all clubs are wicked: the only dis
fiction Is that some clubs are wick
eder than others.

A meeting of the citizens of Mort

free coinage of silver and endorsing
and thanking Senator Vance and all
those who stood for silver and the
people. Senator Ransom was pres

resolutions, but they were passed
over his head.

MONROE.

We spoke Thursday to a very large
audience. The court house is one of
largest in the State. The floor, the
galleries and the bar were packed.
We offered to divide time with Mr..
Covlngton or any member of the bar
who might want to present the other
side, so the people might hear and
decide for themselves. But instead
of accepting our offer certain Demo-
Gratis resorted to sneaking and COW
ardly efforts to break up the meeting.
Two men mot boys got in the loft
of the court house over the ventilator
and slfted down ground red pepper
into the eyes and nostrils of the audi
ence. The police force must have
been into the trick for we are told
they were promptly on hand to arrest
% the men who did the dirty cow
ardly work, so as to protect them
from being punished at once. After
this disturbance was over we con-
tlnued to address the audience for
two hours. The meeting was made
up of the leading men from every
township in the county, and their
earnestness shows that Union county
will be redeemed to the people at the
next election. There will be fair
election in that county, for the peo-
pie have resolved to have it. When
we were on our way to the depot that
night, some one, we presume the
same scoundrels who threw the pep
per into the court house, threw rot
ten eggs at the bus that we were in.
We denounced them publicly that
morning as cowardly ours; we sup
pose this is the way they had of TAX
ing their revenge, and to prove at
the same time that we had branded
them right when we denounced them.
Of course, every decent man in Mon
roe regrets and denounces their &C
tons, for any man who approves of
1t is !; disgrace to the town and as
mean as the perpetrators of the deed.
But we are satisfied that there are
several men in that town who are be
hind that dirty. cowardly and con-
temptlble conduct. When Populists
go to meeting they behave them
selves like gentlemen.

We hPohs at THESE three places re
spectively on Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday Of last week. AT Enfield
the audience was not large due 10
bad weather, yet it was a represent.
alive audience. There were present
three or toul hundred. Every one
we met was alive TO the importance
OF the fight before us and full OF de-
termination. The frauds that dis
graced that county last fall will new
err be tolerated again. Enfield is one
OF the ring strongholds of the coun-
ty. The election % there was held
IN one OF those dark hole bull pens
erected for the purpose Of stealing
IN. And we are informed that more
than one voter saw one of the judges
OF the election there, manipulating
the votes. Our informant tells US
that he saw this sworn officer take a
vote, put it in his side coat pocket
and take out votes from another poe
ket. If this is denied, we are ready
to give our authority and to name
the Judge of the election. We were
also Informed of crookedness in Rose
meath and Tillery townships. In
short, the county is rotten and the
good people ard determined to purge

AT this place we had another large
audience. but not so large as at Mon
roe. We again offered to divide
time, but no one could be found to
champion the cause of the Democra-
tic party. We discussed the issues
of the day, pictured the situation
and laid the blame when it belongs
and the large audience approved.
At all these places we received
large additions to the subscription
list of THE CAUCASIAN. In fact, the
increasing circ ulation of THE CAUCA-

is reaching the hearts and convinc-
