The Democratic Maryland State
convention reinforced the Democrat
ic national platform adopted at
Chicago, and then in order to inter-
pet what this straddle meant they
passed a resolution endorsing Cleve-
lands policy and his Interpretation
of that platform. The gold bugs
have captured the whole Democratic
machinery in Maryland. Thou
sands of honest Democrats will vote
the Populist ticket and leave the old
corrupt party forever.

Speaker Crisp says that he is for
free silver, but when Hoke Smith
goes down to Georgia to make fight
for the gold standard, Speaker
Crisp runs from the State and goes
to Europe. If these Democratic

they not show it by their actions.

There is really not any change. The
Clevelandites and Ransomites are mere
machine men, who have no principles.
They simply stand to win, and are
ready for deal with the Republican
or the POpulist machine, at any time
a la Croker and Plat in New York
Fayetteville Observer.
Well! this is pretty hot to come
from a Democrat, but it is very like
some of the scorchiug truth which
has been announced by the CAucA-
SIAN. That it is not altogether true
is due to the fact that reference il
made to the "Populist machine" 1t
just happens that there is no such
thing unless it be the Populist party,
and that party can't get quite low
enough to "deal" with Clevelanditee
and Ransomites.

THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH FROM 4
LEGAL STANDPOINT,

THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH FROM A
LEGAL STANDPOINT.
The Supreme Court of the U. s.
in an unanimous opinion, delivered
by Chief Justice Waite (Pensacola
vs.. Tel. Co. SO U. S. Reports) held
years ago that the telegraph came
within the grant of power to estab-
lish a postoffice. The opinion says:
"The powers thus granted are not
confined to the instrumentalities of
the Postal service as known, or in
.pse.s when the Constitution was
but they keep pace with the
progress of the country and adopt
themselves to the new developments
of time and circumstances. They
extend from the horse with its rider
to the stage coach, from the sailing
vessel to the steamboat, from the
coach and steamboat to the railroad
and from the railroad to the tele-
graph, as these new agencies are sue
cessiyely brought into use to meet
the demands of increasing popula-
ton and wealth."
And Justice 81. B. Brown, uni
versally recognized as the ablest
member of the present q. $. Supreme
Court, in his address at Harvard
College (Which is reprinted as the
leading article in the August Forum)
says "If the government may be
safely entrusted with the transmits.
sion of our letters and papers, 1 zee
no reason why it may not also be en-
trusted with the transmission of our
kilograms and parcels as is almost
universally the case in Europe"

The historic records of political
parties and economic movements
cannot present parallel to the rapid
and permanent growth of the Peo-
pies PNt3' Its organization was a
direct4esult of the discovery of per
fidy, hypocrisy, and untold corrup-
ton in the two old parties, and its
avowed purpose is to wrest from
them the management of public af
fairs, by means Of the ballot, and
institute and put in operation econo-
mic systems which shall be based
upon the principle of Equal rights
to all, and special privileges to
none"
-
Like all great reform movements,
its strongest support first came from
the people Of the eountry--those
who are the makers and producers
those who constitute the foundation OF
existence-those without whom there
Z eould be no government, and upon
whom depends the conservation OF
all that makes individual liberty
possible and life endurable.
These people caused their dele.
gates to assemble at Omaha in 1885,
and announce the second National
Declaration Of independence, which
they were compelled to declare in
defence of their rights, liberties and
homes. This declaration met with
far more and much fercer denunci.
alton than did the Declaration OF
1776. All the combined agencies Of
the DEVILS own Vaccinations and
power were hurled against it. Neve,
before in the worlds history was the
capacity Of. the internal genius OF
man made so manifest in an effort
to crush right and truth without re.
sort to violence and bloodshed. And
even this would have been done but
for the fact that the guerrillas Of
plutoeracy and corruption stood in
awe Of that majesty which, stand
ing ON the great Mount of Justice,
pointed the finger Of scorn at them,
and struck terror to their cowardly
souls by proelaiming in thunder

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE
GOLD BUGS,

GOLD BUGS,
Instead of bothering about third
term (Which would be for only four
years more) why does not President
Cleveland have his Office put under
the civil service 90 that he could
hold it for life. He had better do
it or some Republican President
might do it if another one is ever
elected. But Cleveland suits the
gold bugs as we'll as any Republican
President could. This is the golden
opportunity for the gold bugs, for
the people may elect Peoples Party
President next time and take hold
of their government themselves.

This is not all. The principles of
the Peoples Party are being ex-
pounded and disseminated through
an ever increasing number of new
and vigorous papers. The number
has increased from twelve hundred
in 1892 to two thousand in 1895.
They are coming out in every
State. During the last month the
Farmville Herald has been added to

The record Of the campaign up to
date is this:
In 1892 the Peoples Party cast
one-twelfth Of the total vote. In
1894 it cast one sixth" Of the total
vote.
In 1892 the Populists elected BAG
members to the several state legls-
latures, and in 1894 they elected 615,
besides nearly doubling the aggre-
gate vote throughout the country.

It is hoped, of course, that this

arousing some prejudice against the

lead to some kicking and that the

1t is this; When a Populist reads
your screeds about bossism in the
Peoples Party, he wonders whether
you are set of irredeemablef fools or
liars. When Populists know indi-
vldually and collectively that their
opinions are asked on all matters of
public policy which come before the
people, and that their opinions form
the expression of their party, they
are not apt to experience any sud-
den upheaval Of confidence in q

"bossism" among them.

regulations for the government Of the seal
fisheries this season. The British govern
ment positively refuses to re enact thercg-
ulation of last year which prohibits the
carrying Of firearms by scaling vessels

parallel during the closed season.

this as disastrous to the seal fishers hold

that # will DO impossible to enforce this
