AN ADDRESS
the Democratic Clubs of North Caro-
lima.

To the Democratic Clubs and the Young
Democracy of North Carolina:
The war is not closed; individuals,
CORPORATIONS, trusts and combinations
must submit to the free legislative will
of the peoples representatives" they
must not dictate the laws which the
people must obey" The unholy alliance
consummated, on Thursday last, in this
city between the old time enemy of the
democracy and the Gideonitish populistic
undo the work of the democratic party
must be COMPOUNDED. Great expectations
are based on yOur efforts in this cam.
paign, and we are sure that the party
can realize on those expectatiOns-for
with untiring devotion to party princi-
plies and unfinching loyalty to its leaders,
the young democracy in this campain5,
wherein its very faith is at stake, eagerly
awaits the signal of battle.
Wherefore, as the president of yolr
associations of clubs, | have brought you
again into the field to resume those pO-
litical labors for which your Organiza-
ton was called into existence some six
years ago. In our call for a convention
of democratic clubs to meet in Raleigh,
on the Goth of September inst issued on
the 2Sth of August ultimO, we called
upon you to reOrganiZe ali clubs on the
rolls of the association Of clubs, to form
new clubs in every town, village and
township where none now exist, and to
elect delegates to the convention, as the
means of promoting the growth of those
fundamental democratic principles which
are the very bedrOCks of our political
freedom. AS we said in a former address
to you," nowhere can those cardinal
principles Of democracy be more affect
lively disseminated than in and through
those home organizations Of the people
where neighbor is banded with n%eighbOr,
shoulder to shoulder, in Jealous support
of those liberties which are the birth
right of the American people, but held
only at the price of eternal vigilence."
Thorough organization is necessary in
this campaign, if we would thwart the
Vaccinations of a few designing, ambi-
tious men men who are working with
all the energy of unholY ambition to lead
their honest, unsuspecting, misguided
followers into the camp Of the great en-
envy of the people; men who have moth

throw of the democratic party-the only
party that truly represents the people.
We fight for measures; not men. We
enter this fight with the living faith in
the righteousness Of our cause. We have
an abiding trust in the virtue, honesty
and good sense of the people; that they
will be swift to see the good that has been
accomplished by the party, and quick to
recognize and appreciate the Herculean
efforts Of the true democracy in behalf
of financial legislation and tariff reform
and we know that if they be met face to
face with a frank and manly statement
of the faith that inspires and the princi-
piles which control the leaders of the
democracy, they will, as in the past, give
them their hearty loyal support. But
those whose Vaccinations prevented our
reaching the full measure Of success we
deserved, should not be forgotten.
In conclusion: we can not rest until
a full measure of relief is secured to the
burdened tax payers of this country. We
must not relax our efforts until the gi-
gantic m~onopolies a nd trusts that are
still depressing the poor have not only
had their wings clipped, but nave ceased
to exist. There is work to be done. And
wherever there is work to be done in
behalf Of behalf of those great cardinal
pledges of the party wherever patriotism
in encouraged as a virtue, and treachery
is damned as a vice and the traitor is not
forgotten or forgiven, we pledge young
democracy. We pledge it for the war,
until the question may no longer be
made. rs this a government Of the pco-
pie for the good Of the people, or a gov
eminent Of trusts for the benefit of
trust
We have the honor 10 be your Obedient
servants" J. ). CARR,
