A Letter to Cousin WiIliam-In which
1.-THE Dear Old Party" 10 Discussed.
For the Caucasian.1
LAKE CITY, s. C., July %, 1895.
Dear Cousin William.-It taxes
my patience to write two letters to
your one. 1 remember that in my
last letter l talked politics just a
little, and not word have heard
from you since. l trust l did not
rip you up the back hard enough to
cause you tn visit me with the wrath
of your displeasure. Some times
| enjoy taking a fellow on the blind
side, unawares. / believe / guyed
you a little about the fact that you
fellows having heard something drop
in your State last fall about election
times. Down in this State politics
is more fashionable than red-bugs
and we rather enjoy it. learn that
my kindred of your county, whom
love, and whose souls are knit
together by long associations and
longer lines of ancestors, of which
we are proud. have come to the part
ing of the ways in politics. Now,
whether this is good or bad this
scribe saith naught, as the opinion
of a refOrmer of South Carolina
among old time, true blue, rock-rib
bed Democrats OF North Carolina
is no good, as he is set down by them
as one of those "past redemption''
fellows who contends for free silver,
abolition Of National banks, more
greenbacks, less favoritism, honest
government, better times generally,
and known as a pizen, brGzen faced
audacious, .tlannel-mouth, speckled-necked
Populist.
Now, old man, how does this strike
your funny bone7 The other day
read in paper that you had eight
different kinds of Democrats in
North Carolina, and l think it would
wreck the upper jawbOne Of Sam
sons ass to describe all the names
they went under, or tell what they
wanted. Now, brother, just let me
spout another fact: Our Democratic
brethren Of the State of North Caro-
lima are making big mistake
as thew should all endorse Mr.. Cleve
land, Carlisle & Co., and shout to-
the gold standard Rothchild q Co..
and never, for minute, cease 'rah
ing for the Democratic party, ant
also whistle and sing to keep VI
their courage and not feel Lonesome
as the pesky Populist is abroad il
the land, and is calculated to CIV
US trouble and cause US to lay awak
nights. You know we must "sticl
, to our dear old party" if we SHOULD
have to surrender our principles
: You know that principles don
; amount to much with us now i
I these degenerate days that breed S
many troublesome Pops. Great
Democracy, and under the folds Q
!, its banner We propose to eat pie
: starve.
1 You know the good old Democrat

: and done lots for US. 1t repeale
