Mr.. EDITOR Il will suggest my
plan for an honest and fair election
in North Carolina next November:
FIrst-Let every man who is in
favor Of an honest election make it
his duty to examine the registration
BOOKS and see that every voter is
properly registered.
Second-Petition the Board of
County Commissioners to appoint
honest, intelligent, impartial men as
poll holders. If the Commissioners
refuse to appoint such men, md ap
point dish rest experts for the ex
press purpose of cheating us out of
our constitutional rights by ballot
box 3tuliing and false counting, then
let every man in favor of an honest
election, go to the polls, prepared
and determined. to have free ballot
and ii fair count-demand nothing
mOre-submIt to nothing else.

POPI LIST FOURTH or july.

The Fourth Of July, 1894, will be
the second anniversary Of the Peo-
pies party since the Omaha Conven-
ton. All true PupuIists refer with
pride and enthusiasm to the preamble
aud platform, adopted there, as the
second Declaration of Indepen-
dence.
This day was fittingIy celebrated
in 1898 by thousands Of earnest re
formers, and this var the celebra-
ton should be universal and COM
plete in every community.
Since our last celebration. the
powers that be, have worked to the
up building Of our party, and they
are yet at work; for we find Congress
persistently endeavoring to ''drown
the outcries Of a plundered people
with the uproar Of a sham battle
over the Tariff When IN our de-
claration of 1892. We prophesized
present conditions, we were called
"calamity howIerS." Almost every
single prophesy has been fulfilled,
save the destruction Of our govern
ment, and We find it to-day hovered
over a smouIdpriug volcano of dis
content, and on the verge of wreck
md ruin. Our highways and by
ways are crowd with unemployed
American citizens in search Of wo,k
clothed in rags and being fed at soup
houses and free lunch counters.
Written petitions to Congress have
20 long, found their way into waste
baskets aud dusty pigeonhoIes that
The people have determined to pres
ent their petitions in person, and in
The exercise of this constitutional
right, they are brutally seized and
cast into a dungeon because they did
not "keep off the grass" While this
is dark and gloomy picture, the
combined hand-work of the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties, yet
there are slgns of hope in the back
ground. Encouraging news reach
lis from every section of the country.
Honest men with brains and intlu-
enCe are realizing the hopelessness of
longer expecting either of the old
parties to legislate for the people,
and are daily joining our ranks to
bait e for the Peoples party, Gods
poor and humanity. Demonitiza-
Uion and Tariff tinkering are doing
their perfect work.
We therefore, earnestly requesc
and urge all local committees, Le-
gions, Leagues, and Peoples party
clubs to begin at once to arrange for
celebrating the second anniversary
If the Second Declaration Of indie
pendence on the fourth day of July
1894.
Begin to make your arrangements
in time 50 that you will be certain to
secure good speakers for the occa-
sion. Invite your old party friends
to come out and hear the truth.
This day properly spent will make
thousands of votes for our par

Mr.. EDITOR Having seen in
your columns the views of several
on the means of procuring an hon
est alection, | will express mine.
My plan is, for the Populists, at
the regular primary meetings, to
elect by ballot, one man for each box
and one to look after the registrar,
whose business it shall be to 90 to
the registrar as representatives of the
people and see who is not properly
registered, that they may inform
those who are not properly register
ed, that they may register IN time for
the election, and on election day be
at the voting place before the polls
are opened and see that the boxes are
empty and that the votes are put in
the boxes and counted out right. Let
the man who looks after the regis
trar take the names of all who vote
and keep a strict account IF them
outside of the regular poll holders
and Judges account. Let one of the
number carry the returns to the
county site, and send one from each
county to the State and get the re-
turns in full.

ANOTHER SUSPECT,
Arrested for Horse Stealing and May be

Lewiston, May 23.-An Augusta despatch
to the Journal, says: Fred Reynolds who
was arrested at Augusta, Tuesday night for
stealing horse at Madison, may be the
murderer of Augustus Sawyer of Monmouth.
mare was stolen from the pasture of
Currier and Nelson at Hallowell, Saturday,
being driven toward Litchfield by the thief.
The route he would then take thence to
Monmouth would be by Sawyer's residence
and the manner in which the animal was
taken across lots was similar to the method
pursued by Reynolds. The suspicion is that
Reynolds might have stopped at Sawyer's
with his stolen horse in the night, met the
old man and shot him.
Reynolds had several So calibre revolver
cartridges in his pocket, which fact excited
the suspicious of the officers. When asked
where the revolver was he said it was at his
sisters in South Gardiner, where he made

story. 1t was found that Reynolds had %
calibre revolver which he Sold No traces of
the 80 calibre weapon could be found, but it
is believed that he had one.

horse of a man named Chase in Hallowen
and borrowed a harness and carriage in

Washington, May 23.-Today the House
took up the legislative, executive and

The motion to strike out the paragraph ap-
