A SUCCESSFUL FESTIVAL.

The fair and festival held in White heads hall on Wednesday and Thursday evenings of last week proved a gra nd success.

wEAvER's TESTIMONY

Do our Populist friends believe
that Gen. Weaver, their late candi
date for President, is truthful man.
He says:
"Any man who states that the
Democratic party is responsible for
the panic is either knave or a fool
or both.'
Gen. Weaver says, further:
"The Republican party cannot
escape this great responsibility.
Every hungry mouth today con-
dennis this party; every homeless
man is or should be it's enemy, the
people, Gods people, against whom
the party has wickedly legislated,
and from whom it has taken their
inalienable and God given rights,
propose now to have an accounting. !"
In view of this strong language
from this leading Populist, is it not
amazing that some of the members
of that party are consenting to the
sale of their principles to the Repub-
lican party, under the dictation of
traitor Butler?

Why? Because he hopes thus to
secure seat in the United States
Senate. Will the Populists who are
such from principle endorse such
treachery by their votes on the 9Th
of November?
He was opposed then to AFRICAN
and Scallawagruie." Now he is try.
ing to induce his party to vote for a
ticket that would not stand a ghost
Of a chance but for african and
Scaliawag" votes and which, il
elected, would llace not only our
county, or several coun ties, but the
State judiciary and the State law
making power under "African and
Scallawag" domination. What a
change has come over the spirit OF
Boss Buffers dreams! To the Sen
ate he wants to go and is willing to
sell out his party to africans and
Scallaways" in order to get there.
Such trifing with principle should be
overwhelmingly rebuked at the ballot
box at the approaching election.

BUTLER THE TRAITOR.

Two years ago, Marion butler
said to the Populists:
"If you are the cause of the Repub-
lican party capturing the State you
| have given a heavy blow to the cause
of reform and PUT THE MANAGEMENT
OF YOUR STATE IN UNWORTHY AND IN
CAPABLE HANDS,"
In the same year he advised the
Populists not to nominate county
tickets aud said:
Gas we said last week it will divide
our people and we fear PUT THE NEXT
LEGISLATURE IN THE HANDS OF THE
ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE"
Butler then expressed the hope that
the Populists would not put out a
State ticket and said there was moth
ing to be gained by defeating the
Democratic ticket then before the
people. Then, to emphasize his earn
estness about this matter he said:
"THE EDITOR DE THIS PAPER HAS
NOTHING Personal AT STAKE. He
is simply interested as every other
citizen should bein what he considers
to be for the best interest of his
State"
All these utterances are Very much
at variance with the present attitude
of this Gar of the Populists. Why
Then he had nothing personal at
stake" Now he has something person
al atstake. Then he was advising in
the interest Of his party. Now he is
advising in einteresf of Marion But.
Ter, who is a candidate for the United
States Senate. and is trying to sell
out bis party and sacrifice its prin-
ciples in order to make possible the
qualification of his personal ambi-
ton. Are true Populists willing that
they and their party shall be made
merchandise, to be bartered at the
behest of Marion Butler?
It will be observed that he referred
to the Republican party as "un-
worthy and incapable" and as 1.-The
enemies of the people" This was no
longer than 1S92-year before last.
What has the Republican party done
since that time to make ita whit less
Unworthy and incapable" or dimiE-
shed in the slightest degree its right
to the title of enemies of the PEG
pie" /? 1t liz the same Republican
party now as it was then, but Boss
Butler makes change of front and
solicits his party to support an I'M
holy trade between himself and the
Republican leaders, which, if consum-
mated, will enable the Republican
party to capture the State and thus
bring about the result against which
Butler warned the Populists in 1892,
viz: "Put the management of your
State in unworthy and incapable
hands"
But Mary Ann is willing to all this
If he can only secure the title of SEN |
ator Butler. True Populists ought |
to condemn this traitor to their
cause this Judas, who would sell |
out principle for personal gain.

WHAT MOTT IS DOING.

We are informed that Marshal
Mott is telling over the district that
after his speech in Winston, few
weeks ago, a number of Democrats
gave him a cordial reception and
rendered him congratulations and
that some of the leading Democrats
told him they would vote for him for
Solicitor. Doubtless some of our
citizens extended him gentlemanly
treatment upon that occasion, but
is this demagogue so unaccustomed
to such treatment that he must
parade this incident before the public
and try to make political capital of
it? AS to the last part of his state
ment we DEFY him to name single
leading Democrat who said he would
vote for him for Solicitor.
Things have come to a pretty pass
when the courtesy and hospitality of
people must be used as material to
advance the interests of a sharp
political trickster. Our people do
not want q man for Solicitor who
charges them with fraud and in do
ing so convicts himself either of false
hood or negligence of duty. Bob
Glenn puts it palmer than this. He
says that Mott is either liar or a
periurer-that his cries of fraud here
two years ago are not true or Mott,
who was then Assistant District At,
torney, proved false to his oath OF
Office in failing to prosecute the per-
petrators of the fraud.
Leading Dem ocrats of Winston in
favor of Mott for Solicitor? 1t is
not true aud if Mott is depending
upon Democratic votes to make him
Solicitor he will never get there.

defnagogue at the ballot box and to
