THE GOLD REDID 1T,
EDITOR CAUCASIAN:-

EDITOR CAUCASIAN -
The nation was stricken with a
poverty plague or panic. The Dem
ocratic Party, under the advice of
DIR. Cleveland, undertook to cure the
patient by the famous panacea known
as the gold standard, which consists
in first throwing the patient into
''fits" by taking away one-half of
the circulation and then applying to
the back a Wall Street bond plaster
and administering Sugar Trust
pill, with an earnest admonition to
keep off the grass" The Cleveland
gold cure was colossal failure, but
this failure should not discourage
some of the statesmen, who have been
panic-stricken since the election
from accepting the recommendations
of friends to try other gold cures.

DENVER, Col, Nov. l3.-Figures
received at Populist headquarters
indicate the election of Bell, Popu-
list, over Bowen, Republican, in the
Second Congressional district. The
result will be very close, and will be
determined by returns from the dis
tant mountain counties not yet in.
The Republican majority in the Leg
lslature Is eight on JOINT ballot. The
Populists have the Senate and the
Republicans have the House.

The boys are telling it, that the
campaign cannon that was loaded
preparatory to belching forth imme-
diately upon the first news of Dem
ocratic victory, was spiked, when the
uufavorable news come in; and some
wag wrote upon it ga charge to
keep ! have" If the charge is to
be kept until there is Democratic
victory it will be in the sweet bye and
bye before We hear it, and don't you
forget it.

That the country is to be saddled
with another bond issue, seems now
inevitable. Cleveland is the plant
tool of Wall street, and will obey his
masters. Our wide-awake Washing
ton correspondent predicted this over
month ago. See what he says in
Washington letter this week.

WAYNE COUNTY CANyAssING BOARD.

We stated in the last issue, that
the indications were, that Wayne
County had repeated itself. Since
writing that article, the returning
board has met, and we have had our
fears realized. The result of the
action of that board is told by Mr..
Swinson in another column, and it is
hardly necessary for us to comment;
we will state however, that the facts
related by Mr.. Swinson are literally
trne, and the picture is drawn mild
ly. We have attended many a court,
and this is a court, sitting to try
cases of the utmost Importance to
every citizen, Il court from which
there is no appeal and We have new
er seen one in which there was less
justice. Those constituting that
court were chosen from every section
or the county, selected ostensibly to
do justice, to ascertain the will of the
people, and so report and decide; but
how far they have done SO is shown
IN the report of the proceedings of
that body. What the Democrats
had failed to accomplish with their
money, whiskPy, threats, intirmida-
ton, bribery and fraud, the return
ing boards have finished, and the
result is that while North Carolina
has been redeemed, Wayne County
remains in their hands. The County
officers were beaten, not fair of
course, but by such means as made
it impossible to show to court 9th
erwise; but the Senators having
majority in Duplin sufficient to
overcome the apparent majority in
Wayne, 1T was necessary to resort to
the high handed measure of throw
ing out two townships on technecali-
ties, and worse; to take advantage
OF wrongs committed by the
representatives of the party for
the purpose of giving an excuse for
pursueing the course that was pur-
sued. In Dudley precinct the Regis
trar, Mr.. Bowden, appoints Mr.. Giles
Kornegay poll holder in the face
of the protest that he was a candi-
date and therefore incompetent to
serve; stating at the time that he did
not consider him a candidate, and
then he comes as one of the board of
canyasSers SwOrn to do right, and votes
to throw out that township; to make
Mr.. Aycock the Senator in the place
of Major Grant whom the people had
elected.
In New Hope township another
case is manufactured premedetated-
ly. A gentleman selected for the
purpose is called in to tally the vote,
who after he has performed his work
and before the returns are made out,
jumps into buggy prepared and in
waiting at the door, and brings off
the tally sheet, and Notwithstanding
there were other tally sheets kept by
others and shown to be correct, the
poll holders refuse to report the vote
of that township, and the returning
board move to let her 60, and after a
wink from the member making the
motion it is seconded and out she
goes. It is a shame, but such is
Democracy in Wayne county.

it through the Peoples party.
