PARTY BLINDED.

He is joined to his idol-Dem
ocracy. We mean Senator Morgan
AS a Democrat he admits and EN-.
phasizes all the facts which Popu.
lists have brought to the front. But
ne is still a weakling. In speaking
of the infamous bond deal he saws:
II see no profit in selling them al
lO41a when they were worth 100: but
charge no evil intent upon any one fo1
making this child's bargain. Its alb.
surdity is strong plea for it's limo
cence."
Now a man who can palliate such
rascality-who can ''charge no evi
intent" in such scheme as this i,
too much blinded by narrow partisan
ism to be fully trusted avhen it come.
to acting. Does any sensible man
think that such an apology as thi,
would have been uttered by Senate,
Morgan if the Republican party had
made that deal?

LOUISVILLE, n.y., July 2S.-Since my

before the Democratic state Executive
Committee and given them . piece Of
his mind. He denied their right TO or

them. He said he would continue 10
canvass the State for free silver, party
or no party.
The confusion and decentralization
in the Democratic ranks grows greater
each day. Whole counties are revolt
ing against the gold machine.
Everything is no, lovely in the Re-

ment is also developing and showing
signs of indifference in that party.
Besides there is a considerable ele-
ment Of the party dissatisfied with
Bradley and some Of their other candi-

In the meantime the Peoples Party
is rapidly perfecting a strong organi-

Good Roads.
Financial And Industrial Record.

Good roads are a sure index O,
prosperous farmers and indirectly
have a large influence upon tn,
growth and development of towns
and cities. Commercial organiza.
tions in various parts of the countr,
are awakening to this fact, and or.
gained efforts are to be made, par.
ticularly in sections Of the South
and Middle States, towards putting
highways in better condition.
Could it be accurately calculated
the loss sustained by farmers in
being obliged to urge their horses
with heavy loads over poor roads,
would be something enormous
Good roads make good markets and
it frequently happens that poor
roads practically ga up the prof
IF certain markets.
AS has been many times demon.
strated, the construction of good
roads will materially increase the
value of farms and country property,
and acts as q stimulus and attraction
for immigration.
The first cost for construction OF
good roads is apt, like all other good
things. to be high but there is no
municipal or county investment
which will make as good return for
money expended. Convict labor
could be utilized to advantage and 8
large expense taken from the State,
Tramps could be forced into service
and made to earn an honest living
for few weeks, at least.
In the campaign for good roads,
the efforts of the bicycle orgauiza
tons throughout the country de.
serve much credit. They perceived
the necessity of them for their own
use, and where they have been sue.
cessful the farmers and owners Of
country property have also been
large gamers.
But the good work is hardly We,
begun. In all of the older States
there are large sections where thu
roads are in a frightful condition,
almost unsafe for man or beast. No,
only does this condition of AFFAIR."

Is that the people themselve,

A Big Insurance Fraud.

MOREHEAD CITY, NC. july GA
sensation was created here to-day a,
the arrest OF some of the most promi-

that Senator Blackburn would come
off the stump in Kentucky at the

makes the usual old party mistake
of trying to stick to Democracy, but
he knows the points in the silver

knows the people will vote right, no

MORE INGENIOUS STEALING,

According to the best gold bug
authority, the Peoples Party is the
only one that has unqualifedly de-
handed the free and unlimited coin
age of silver and gold at the ratio of
16to l. Now the Democrats are
trying to steal that much of the
Populist platform. They brazenly
declare, even in the face of recent
events, that the Democratic party
stands fol the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. They claim this
as being q vital principle of their
platform-we mean the so-called
silver Democrats.
But Senator Morgan goes the party
one better. He says he CLOCKS to
the greas Democratic party and its
creed of equal rights to all and Ex-
elusive privileQes to none." Oh,
shade of Diogenes! Would you ever
find honesty in the Democratic gang?
Oh, shade of Mephistophe,es! Have

hypocrisy as this?

HOW THH GOLD MEN CAN WIN AND
HOW THEW CAN BE DEFEATED.
Any man who has watched the
current of events for the past few
years knows that the next Ma
tional conventions of the two old
parties will not declare for the free
coinage OF silver. Each one of them
may write straddling platform and
nominate a halfway silver man for
Vice President, but everybody will
know what that means. The ma
chinery of both old parties is not only
dead against silver and more money,
but il in league with and controlled
by the gold men. Therefore every man
who stays in either of these old par
ties will simply be helping and
strengthening the gold men. Then
how can any man who is not in
favor of q single gold standard stay
in either of these gold parties? Do
you want the gold men to win? No.
Therefore you will not vote the gold
ticket. Will you sit down and do
nothing while the enemies of pros
perity commit their crime? No.
Therefore you will fight the gold
men with all your power. Yes, you
will fight them and vote against
them. You will work and vote for
. platform and a candidate for Presi-
dent who is square on the financial
question.
acl .bunl
There is but one way that the gold
men can win. That is for the patriots
in the Republican party who are op-
posed to the gold men to stay in
that party, and for the patriots in
the Democratic party who are OPP
posed to the gold men to stay in that
party. Then the gold men would
put up two gold bugs for President
and the patriots would help elect one
of them with their votes. If the
Peoples Party should devide and
each Populist should go back to his
old party, the result would be the
same. {, Z
Has-z..'..
There is but one way that the
gold men can be beaten. That is
for the patriots of the two old par
ties g CSme together. Then all the
prtriots would be in one party while
the gold men would be divided into
two gold parties with two gold can
didstas. : - no - So So
Patriots, the path of duty and the
road to victory is plain. The battle
must be fought-the hour has
struck--1the opportunity is here
will you seize it? Think of the d.
rection in which this country is now
drifting and what the end will be! Let
us show that we are worthy sons of
our ancestors. The British are again
