The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1894-12-27


due time.
Populists have Dome forward as aspirants
for all legislative offices except Speaker of
the House and the Republicans are reported
to be doing much talking ON account of it.
New Berne Journal.
We waive the question of English
presented in the above extract and
proceed to remark: That the aver
age Democrat is nightly hurt by
the result of the late election in this
State. just how a Democrat can
lay in his winters wood, or pitch his
crop, or attend to his store, or run his
shop without an Office, or the hope of
an Office, is just a little more than
any machine politician can find out.
Well, we are sorry for our Demo-
cratic friends. Indeed, upon refec-
ton, we are inclined to say, that we
grieve with them. And we would
help them, if we could. But we can
not help them-indeed we cannot.
1t is entirely out of our power, and
you must get US excused. The only
morsel of comfort we now have it
in our power to offer to those dis
tressed patriots may be found in the
assurance we give them, that their
solicitude for the good of their Re-
publican fellow citizens is a beauti-
full example of disinterested benevo-
lence. See how those Democrats
love those Republicans! See!
Mr.. Bland will offer his financial
reform bill, as a substitute for the
Carlisle bill, at the right time. Mr..
BANDS bill provides for the retire.
ment of all sorts Of our paper mon
ey. except the coin notes, and the
substitution for them of coin notes,
redeemable in either silver or gold,
as may be most convenient to the
government. MIR. BANDS bill also
provides for the free coinage of sill =.
yer, and is intended to put the Cir
cnlation of the country entirely in
the hands of the government. We
are heartily in favor of Mr.. BANDS
ideas. But we have nc hope, and
we suppose Mr.. Bland has no hope
of getting his bill through.
The more the vote OF the recent
election is analysed the better show
ing is made for the Peoples party.
In 1892 the Democrats in the States
of Colorado. Idaho, Kansas, North
Dakota, Nebraska and Wyoming
fused with the Populists to take the
States named from the Republicans.
This year in several of these States
the Democrats ran a third ticket. In
1892 the fusionist ticket in Nebraska
received 80, l34 votes. In 1894 the
Populist alone polled SO,97S votes
for their congressional candidates.
While we lost Colorado yet we polled
1900 more votes than we did in
1892. This year the Democrats
helped the Republicans. In 1892
the Peoples party polled only about
one-twelfth of the total vote. This
year we have polled nearly one
sixth of the total vote cast. The
gain is indeed remarkable.
President Cleveland and party are now at
Georgetown, s. c.. duck hunting.-Ex.
The above is distresslngly ambig-
uous. Which party do you mean,
neighbor Pa private party? or the
Democratic party? If you mean the
Democratic party, we offer our con-
CALCULATIONS. There is hope for the
country, if the Democrats can be in
duced to give their entire attention
to "duck hunting" for the next few
years. Indeed we think Mr.. Cleve-
land should never have given up the
occupations of hunter at all. He
was always moderately successful as
. hunter.
