DARDENs, n. c.,

Hon. Ii. w. Stubs, Chairman Dem.
Elk. Committee Martin Co., Will
liamstOn, n. c.:
Dear Sir:-SOme time ago | re-
ceived a.letter from you in regard
to rumOr that | had decided to
leave the Democratic party. AT
that time | had not concluded to
leave that organization. | have now
concluded to do so. or at least that
party has left me. The Democratic
party under the leadership OF Gro
yer Cleveland and the leaders of the
party in the North and some of
them from the South, have pursued
a course SO different from what |
had thought that the Democratic
party had always cOntended for,
and so near what John Sherman
and the Republican party have
done, that | can only see so very
small difference in the National
Democratic party and the Republi-
can party, that it has compelled me
to leave that organization, and to
look to some other party for what |
believe to be right, and for the best
interest of my country, Of myself,
and my children, and as the POpu-
list party is nearer to my views of
what is best, but | shall go with
that party.
This has taken a considerable eff
fort Oh my part to take this step.
In doing so | know that | have left
the organization, that | have been
raised up with and been taught to
look to for my cOuntry's salvation
and which | have always support
ed, and have been closely associated
with its leaders in our county. In
doing so you know that | have no
personal complaint, that | have not
asked for, nor expected, any office
from the present administration
either for myself or for any personal
friend.
And my association with yourself
and many friends, who still hold
on to the old organization has been
very pleasant. For this and many
other reasons, it has taken some
time for me to decide to quit that
organization. | have held on as
long as had any reason to believe
that our National lawmakers
would do any thing that met with
my approval. But instead of that
it has been one thing after another
that | could not approve of, and
have just been driven from that or
ganlZation.
l address this to you in answer
to your letter, and also that you
may have the places filed that
hold as member Of the Senatorial
Elk. Committee for this county and
also township Elk. Committee, by
some one else.
Yours Respectfully,

from Mr.. c. G. Pagan, of Martin

Mr.. Stubs, the chairman of the

SIMMONS, GRADY AND BOOOL E

In another column our Washing
ton correspondent gives an account
of bow Simmons with the help or
per mission of Mr.. Grady robbed the
people of eleven hundred dollars.
Simmons claimed to have been
Grady's attorney in a contested cleo
ton case which never waBin ex-
istance. Read the bill of expense
which our correspondent copies from
the record.
1t will be observed that without
exception the statement Of services
rendered and Investigations made by
MIR. Simmons in connection with
this so-called contest are concerning
matters which were or should have
been in his knowledge and possession
as Chairman of the Democratic Ex-
ecutlve Committee. He speaks of
several visits to contestee in Wash
ington and one in Goldsboro, N. c.,
for the purpose of consultation. The
law, I. S. Rev. ST., Sec. 1O5, requires
that whenever it is proposed to con-
test the seat of any member who has
been gwen the certificate of election,
notice of such contest must be served
in writing within thirty 500 days
from the awarding of the certificate
of election. Sec. JOG, Rev. St., U. S.
allows thirty (3O) days thereafter
for contestee to serve his answer to
such notice. Sec. 10Y, Rev. st. di-
reefs how the testimony shall be
taken and requires that the evidence
shall be closed within ninety (9O)
days from the service of contestee's
answer.
The certificate was awarded Mr..
Grady by the Board of State Can
Vassers which met, | think, twenty
days after the election, or some time
in December. One hundred and
fifty days thereafter or five months
thereafter by operation of the law
the record in the contest must be
completed and closed and cannot be
reopened except by the action of
Congress. 1t is thus seen that every
thing that could be done in this con
test must have been done before June
l, 1894. Congress was not called
together in extra session until Aug.
Z. Mr.. Grady did not go to Wash
ington until that time. As a matter
of fact no evidence was taken in
this contest. Yet Mr.. Simmons pays
Mr.. Grady several visits in Wash
lngton for the purpose of consulta-
ton when nothing had been done
and nothing could be done in the
contest. 1t is rather singular that
these visits for consultation, the ex-
pense of which is paid by the gov
eminent, were made by Mr.. Sim
mons when he was deeply concerned
over his appointment and confirma-
ton as Collector. The whole thing
is clearly swindle from beginning
to end, and yet the Democratic State
convention the other day endorsed
this man Simmons.

Let every county and township
chairman go before the commission
ers next Monday and ask for the
representation we are entitled to I'M
der the law for poll holders at each
voting place in the State. Not only
ask for representation, but ask for
the appointment of two men selected
and recommended by you. A party
is not represented according to the
spirit and letter of the law unless
the men selected by that party are
appointed.

CHARACTER SHOWN IN LITTLE THINGS.
Last week there appeared notice
in the Raleigh News & Observer of a
joint discussion at Smithtield signed
by JAS. H. Pou, chairman for Demo-
cratic party, and W. R. Creech
chairman for Peoples party. The
notice read: "On Aug. 2Sth there
will be a JOINT discussion between
g. NJ. Cooke, the next congressman
from the 4th District &c. We at
once wrote to Mr.. Creech to know
why his name was to such notice
as this. The next mail brought a
letter from Mr.. Creech. 1t was lust
as We had expected. He said that
Mr.. Pou wrote the notice and asked
him to sign it late one evening when
it was too dark for him to read it
without his glasses, which he did
not have with him. But Mr.. Pou
told him that the notice was all
right, and pretended to read it to
him but did not read it as it appear
ed in print. Whereupon Mr.. Creech
signed it, thinking that it was prop
erly worded. Mr.. Creech is a man
of unquestioned integrity. But be-
fore commenting on the conduct of
Mr.. Pou we will wait week and
give him hearing if he has any
thing to say. The Raleigh News &
Observer wrote an editorial on this
notice ridiculing Mr.. Creek for
signing it.

OH, YE HYPOCRlTE.

Buck Kitchin spurns, we have seen stated,
some of their PopulistI dogmas while max
ing speeches for them-Wilmmgton Mes
senger.
True or false, does it lie in the
mouth of hypocrite to crlticise
Capt. Kitchen.
Here are some extracts from the
Messenger-clipped at random with
in the last ten days:
The people demand that the German
bill for benefit of Trusts and Giant Monop-
oily be rejected at every hazard
Again:
''The sum TO be raised by this sugar taxa
tax levied upon the breakfast table and the
pies for dinner-iS yariously estimated at
from $40,0O0,OOO to $4S, 900 each year.
About one-tenth of the sugar consumed in
our country is home product. The people
have for years enjoyed very cheap sugar"
More still:
There are hundreds of household articles
the common necessaries of the people
that are taxed at protection rates by the Cor
man bill.
The logic of it:
"Mr. Wilson tries to explain the surrender
by saying it is plain Democratic necessity"
So might the Republicans say any time when
making a tariff law for monopolists."
Now for "the eliminating atroci-
ty" of Democratic hypocrisy. Mes
senger, August 23rd, says:
The House and the Senate agree as to a
tax bill, and laying aside objections now to
this or that particular article that is taxed,
we join shields with the solid Democracy
and propose to do our part in the campaign"
What mockery and what inconsis-
tency. What pussillanimity. What
arrant hypocrisy. Oh. ye hypocrit

His venomous tongue wagged bitterly
in abusing the Populist. The more

virtue and patriotism, wonder if it
occurred to him that Cooke might
have contested election case on his

Chairman Tompkins of the Demo
cratic State committee admits that
Kolb carried the Al white counties
of Alabama by IA, 900 majority, but
he claims that in the negro counties
that Oates got over 80, 900 majority
Then according to Democratic reas-
oning Alabama is suffering all the
"horrors of negro domination" and
all the "evils of the dark days of
1868 and 1862" In short the Demo-
cratic party has become the goldbug
tariff baron, monopoly party of the
north, and the "odious and damnable
negro party" of the south. Therefore
according to Democratic reasoning
there is not but one "place for every
self-respecting and decent man.
and that is in the opposite party
the Peoples Party.
