conventionf We are surprised that
such men a. Senators Harris, Turpis
and Jones should, after participating
in the convention, take part in such
back-door proceedings. Their action
will give the public cause to suspect
that they place party above patriot
ism. and that they are willing for
the reform to fail unless they can get
it through the Democratic party.
They also give the people cause to
suspect that they went to the Mem
phis convention hoping to control II
in the interest Of the Democratic
party, and that they are chagrined
1t their defeat.
On the other hand the majority OF
the convention and . majority of the
committee on resolutions were clear
ly of the opinion, that the members
of all parties IA voring financial re.
form had to get together in the
next fight, and if Senator Turpie had
been known to hold different views
he could never have been elected
chairman Of the convention.

Well, "Mr. B. F. Key" is intended
for Mr.. B. F. KEITH, who was sp-

SOME DEMOCRATS ACT IN BADFAIrH

SOME DEMOCRATS ACT IN BADFAIrH.
In another column will be found a
special telegram from Memphis
which we clip from the Washington
Post of last Saturday. It seems that
some of the Democratic delegates to
the Memphis silver conference were
dissatisfied with the result of that
meeting. After the other delegates
had left, these few men got together
in a room at a hotel, and organized
themselves into a Democratic silver
league. These few men then pro-
ceeded to appoint one Democrat
from each State to act as q national
committee.
The convention while in session at
Memphis the day before, elected a
non-partisan national committee,
composed Of one delegate from each
State. which committee was author

ence when the cause of financial re-
form could be advanced thereby.

"NO REASON FOR ALARM"

For some time the CAUCASIAN has
been expressing some alarm at the
sundry summersaults of the editor of
the News and Observer on the finan-
cial question. His course has been
vaccillating; he has played the turn
coat SO often, and his record is so
chameleon-like that no one is in
clined to take him seriously, or rath-
er.one is inclined to think that when
he hollers loudest for the goldbugs
that he may still at heart be for sill
yer, and when he fops and hollers
loudest for silver thet he may at the
same..time be secretly working for the
goldbugs. The editor of the Angus
ia Chronicle (Ga.) seems to be aflict-
ed with the same malady. We have
been veryimuch concerned about both
of them. But the following editorial
from the Charleston News and
Courier throws some light on the sit
uation:
mo REASON FOR ALARM
The wicked Washington Post remarks:
Editor Pat Walsh gathers up his skirts
and shrieks every time he is approached by
the goldbug argument. Editor Pat doesn't
propose to be lured from the paths of free
silver by any of these designing persons -
But our Washington contemporary should
not let its heart be troubled about editor
Walsh. know more about him and
understand his vagaries butter than the
Post: He will come around all right after
awhile. He has not yet fully made up his
mlnd on the money question, and if he
has, there is reason to believe that he will
change it before the campaign for sound
currency is over. He has already made two
changes on the subject, and his next change
in order will bring him and his powerful
newspaper over on the right side"
We suppose that the "vagaries" of
the News and Observer should be
treated with the same consideration,
for ''there is some reason to, believe
that he too will change again before
Cleveland, Ransom and Roke Smith
finish their campaign for the gold
Standard
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1895-06-20

Some old politicians who went to
Memphis because the people went,
and then failed to capture the meet
ing politically, are now sending out
interviews that they are going to in
augucate . silver crusade within
Democratic party lines" Let the
Democrats scramble and squabble a.
much as they will. Let Populiste
keep squarely in the middle of the
road-1e to Las they have always
been, without condition or equivoca-
ton.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1895-06-20
HE DID ENOUGH.

The Populist State executive committee.
which adopted free silver resolutions and
appointed Senator Butler delegate to the
Memphis convention, instructed him to in
vite the members Of the convention and
their constituents into the Populist party,
it having been the first party to declare for
free coinage, and this being its cardinal doc
trlne. The press dispatches gave no report
of Senator Buffers observance of the direc-
tons given him. We were anxious that he
should have extended the invitation-want-
ed tosee, you know, what the boys would
say about it.
1t is more than probable that the
meagreness of the telegraphic re-
ports, especially those sent out by
the Associated Press, is what has
left the Charlotte Observer. guessing.
The Associated Press, like all other
monopolies, is opposed to any move
ment or meeting which favors silver,
and does not report them fully.
AS matter of fact, the committee
on resolutions, by vote of Ii to 10,
adopted a resolution which declared
in favor of the movement or party
which declared unequivocally for
silver. It was found that this reso-
luton would 60 through the conven-
ton like a flash; and this scared
some of the politicians into appeal
ing for mercy. A certain Senator
who made himself prominent in the
convention, begged that this resolu-
ton be not reported; for if adopted
he would have to bolt the conoentios. A
certain North Carolina Senator, af-
ter having seen the resolution pass
the committee, and after seeing that
it sould pass the convention, was fully
satisfied with the sentiment. prevail
ing, and knowing that the numeri-
cal strength of the gathering was all
straight on the question, did not
press the matter. and it was quietly
withdrawn.
The CAUCASIAN can assure any
one who may have read the Observ-
er's complaint that enough was done
at the time.
The above facts were printed by
some papers who had special re.
porters and cor, espondents on the
scene.
