ty, refuses to bow to the edict of
the traitors of the party, and pub
lished the following editorial last
week:
othe Peoples Party Of Henry County;
Your party has been sold Your lead
ers have betrayed every principle upon
which you stand Now, voters, will you
follow? Will you be led into the camp
of gold-bng Republicanism2 Will YOU
be led like sheep to the slaughter to John
Sherman's slaughter pen2 / WAS once a
Republican aud held the highest commit
teeship in the country, but was set aside
by fraud and negro placed in my stead |
No, the Headlight is not for John e. Nc
Call! Il lis for the Peoples party, iorre- !
form, for honesty and economy,
Protesting to fight both old parties, it |
expects to DO So We don'twant any lus-
ion and we don't want to sell out.
Shame on men that don't regard princi-
pie before spois-that would stoop to,sell
out a man like he would a horse.
Now, as we have no candidate, we say
freely that we would rather see Mr.. Enloe
in Congress with all his imperfections
than Mr.. Mccall, god-bug, and we do
not hesitate to say we shall support Enloe,
We shall support him because his record
in Congress proves that he is broader than
his party and has voted for more money
and opposed national banks
| Let the watchWord be, reformers, vote
for no man who does not favor the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the ra-
! ito Of l6 to l.
Next week We shall have more to say
/ in regard to fusion, EDITOR.
As we have all along predicted,
Mcdowell would go one step too
far in his sanctimouious fraud and
contemplate dealing with the peo-
pie whose minds he has poisoned
by sowing seeds of discord among
friends and neighbors in order that
he might profit thereby.
This step was taken when Gates,
the regular nominee of thePopulist
party, was sacrificed in the interest
of Mccall. tits a sacrifice of everv
principle of the Populist party, and
this betrayal is now bearing its le-
gitimate fruit. Those members Of
that party who have heretofore and
are still in sympathy with the prin.
ciples advocated by Jefferson anG
jackson very naturally resent the
idea of being bartered off to Force
Bill Mccall, Evans, and others oi
that crew Of the carpet-bag party
and they are returning TO the open
and extended arms of their first love
the Democratic party.
Tocounteract the strong tide tha'
has set in toward the Democrat,
party, Mcdowell is out in an "oper
letter." in which he intimates bu
he hasn't the manhood to make tn,
charge that Enloe's friends have
in fact, used money to influence
Gates action. The dnsavory repu
utation of Mcdowell is now so wei
, known it is really waste of spac,
to notice any Of his base insinua
: tions at this time. The people hav,
been taught to know the object o
oil startling reports circulated b,
the enemies of Democracy on tn,
eve ofau important election when i
is too late for Democrats to correc
the falsehoods. Any slanderer cal
circulate a charge, but Mcdowell
8 dare not come out and furnish th
name of any responsible Democra
or friend Of Mr.. Enloe who ha
). attempted to influence the action O
Gates with money. He knows tina
all his insinuations are absolntel
false.
Now, as a matter of fact, Enlo
has frequently exposed McDowel
in his pernicious work Of LEADING
men astray, and finding himsel
thwarted 10y the man he had hope
to use as his tool as he has man
others, Mcdowell has an undyin
hate for Enloe, and he will leav
no stone nnturned in his attempt
to encompass the latter's defea
2 In this he is backed by all the mg
chinery of the Republican part,
State, district andnational, butwit
a all this Democrats can and will wi
I if they will work and vote like tru
patriots,
