The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1894-03-15

Especial or to luF Caucasian.
We have 10 congratulate our Dem
ocratlc friends OH their unity Of pur-
pose and diversity of opinion. Their
purpose Il one; their principles manl.
Never rce IN any quarter of the
globe bears such NA!cty OF flowers
and fruit. We have on the tariff
question high protective Democrats
aud anti protective Democrats two
Nlnds. On the financial question
free coinage Democrats and gOldbug
Democrats, ant!-uatlonal bauk Dem
ocrats and pro-natOual hauk Demo
Gratis; four kinds. We have bi-met-
alilsts Of all ratios. On tie income
tax, two hlnds-for and against. So
we have Democrats beileyinu and
contessIng every article Of political
talth ever promulgated IN American
politics; and those protesting dia.
metrlcaiiy opposite opinions are Just
is honest and Jnst is good Demo
Gratis as any. And 10 man is ever
read out ot the party for the pccu-
Iarity Of his faith
As Dr. Cy Thompson relates that
thousands Of Democrats are honest
III then principles ami even verify
believe they are DONG their duty,
cheating and deIraudIng a. the bal
tot box, 50 We CHM" IN and re-echo
The Sehtlment. We praise and laud
TO the skies their generous lbcrallty
IN allowing every man to confess and
profess ali policies and all princi-
pies. Not having any tenabIe ones
peculiar to the party Itself every man
can be strictly honest and good
party man let his faith he ever 50
'arIable. This Is i!berality this is
magnar!mlty. If the churcn would
adopt this plan and fellowship hea-
,hens, Mohamadena, Molmons, Prot
estants and ltomanS We would soon
have to look for the millennium and
al! would be quite honest. May be
this unity in diversity is the very
thing tho world has been gro"ning
for, 10, these many centuries.
Well, canpCt all men be honest
and Yet diversity?
Certainly.
They eau have unity, too, on quite
different plane and on quite ii diff
terent question; that is to say the
question Of Office. If this is the
strong bond of union why not
throw all others aside as Useless and
hold on to this: Surely this is the
wlsest plan. Take kindly care of
those who have done noticeable party
service, tit or unht, honest or dl3hon-
est. The aspirations Tor office and
the thirst for piander is a sufficient
bond of union. We find that the
Democ"Atie party is commenIable
tor It's honesty, commendable for its
| llberallty, and cOmmendable for it,
wisdom and unity of purpose.
Again, being the only protectors OF
Che palladium # liberty, civil right
and Angio-Sax"n rule, they have a
right to cheat, steal and defraud al
The ballot bAA. MISREPRESENTATION
Is the first aw OF nature" Truly
Che law says thou shalt not steal,
thou shalt not defraud thy neighbors
OF their ballots, thou shalt not beal
false witneoo Of the LEGAL ballots cast
This Is the law and the law cannot
be Violated without the guilt Of per.
l,ry IN addition. Bat self-preserva,
ton is higher law. These guardi
ans of oar liberties, Of our civi
rights, OF Anglo-SaXon rule, (se,
Halifax county vote by the grace ot
God, are born of the royal line ant
Ill government are given unto them
See, they are patriotic, too. Th,
preachers say "hell is paved Will
good resolutions but one angel is 0
more account than a thousand dev
lis" 50 one clean vote ought t.
weigh against many ugly votes.
We have not time to talk of tn
zeal of this royal race. 1t is warm
full and deep. But the Mormon
and heathens have zeal quite a
strong. So We heartily agree wit
DR.. l Thompson IN what he has sal,
concerning the inward prompting
of the Democratic party.
