After his term of service he bought
a farm in Lenoir county and devoted
himself to farming exclusively till
1889. Always taking an active in
terest in the clubs, farmers institutes
and anything to strengthen and up
build the farming interests, 1t was
natural that he was among the first
to organize the Alliance in his coun-

A believer in education he estab-
lished ii school on his farm for the

THE PROPER ACTION.
EDITOR THE CAUCASIAN:

Editor | III + IA ASlAN
take pleasure in penning this
communication to you to endorse
and commend the action of Peoples
party State convention Of Aug. lst
in doing the right and proper act III
the most commendabIe form ever
adopted 10y any political convention
in the State, that of raising and
eliminating the Judiciary Of the
State from partisan and machine
politics, and of putting it upon the
eternal plane of the fitness of things
IN point of merit. This precedent,
as now set by your party, Is destined
to win for it that success and merit
in the minds of all clear minded
persons, such as none other one act
can do for it. 1t is one that will
live beyond your party, no matter
how long it may prosper upon this
at once appreciative action.
The ticket as nominated together
with the principle declared in It's Sc,
lection, is one that will sweep the
field of all opposition, no matter
from what party or parties, for OF
all such as oppose it failure is mar k
ed as their destiny according to the
final fitness of all efforts to thwar
principle, to machine ends.
Is it not fact, that the reform
enunciated 10y that convention ha
been recognized as long needt(
one? | say it is.
Now, what is to be gained b,
strict adherence to party over a rec
ognized necessity? Nothing yer,
desirable, should say, even in tn
Peoples party. Then if these con
cluslons are lust, why not go just
little further and largely eliminat
: partisan politics in the selection o
the State Senators and Assembly

The Governor now says that on Mon
