The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1895-06-06
because we wanted to know where
that paper was at and we had seen
nothing in it to tell Us.

because we wanted to know where
that paper was at and we had seen
nothing in it to tell Us.
But our souls longing was soon
satisfied. We began to see something
and thought he was with US. The
Democratic executive committee met
in Raleigh on May Goth and adopted
resolutions favoring the free coiuage
of silver. OF course. They always
do. Its a way they have. But We
thought We had our estee med con-
temporary with US for On May 22nd
it said:
This is the Democratic chart. 1t is the
pillar OF cloud by day and of fire by night
that the people have learned to trust in
lWhoo-whopee. Prolonged applause We
have been right all along and will win only
oy being consistent IN devotion to bimetal-
bsm.
This settled the matter. We were
happy. Our contemporary was for
free silver and was for US. We
felicitated ourselves. We were get
ting together.
But 10! Long come Mr.. Carlisle
and he made a speech-a roaring,
noisy, silly goldbug speech. Our
contemporary printed it all. And it
said "Mr. Carlisle was the most INTEL
lectual man in public life to-day" If
we thought this we would be for the
gold standard. We wouldn't say a
man had more sense than anybody
else and then say he was wrong on any
question. But the News and Obser-
yer did this and we were dishappy
1t had lodged again, and we could
not tell where it was at. We sought
solace and "surcease from SORROW
but instead of finding it we found the
following IN the editorial columns
of our "easy steamed" contemporary
on May Oath:
| The State Democratic committee has no
| right to lay down party platform, but is
| the committees duty to carry into effect and
| promulgate the principles enunciated by the
party in convention assembled. This is
all the committee has done, and if any Dem
| erty TO make fight in the next State con-
vention to have the party to change its at
titude. There is not and ought not to be
any ATTEMPT to deny to any men who Op-
pose the free coinage of silver place in the
councils of the party, but the platform
must voice the sentiments of the majority
Just so! Just sd! Sounds very pref
ty. Tries to appear very broad
minded and fair. Nice little strad-
die. Fit any emergency. You see
our "easy steamed" contemporary
says in one breath bimetallism is the
thing to win on, and the next man
opposed to it should be admitted tc
the councils of the party &c. What
is this party any how. How is il
hung together7 If free coinage mar
is "cloud-by-day and by-night'
Democrat, what is a goldbug? Maybe
, he is "loud-by-day and a hire-by
night" Democrat.
This is why we are yet bothered
We cannot find out where our es
teemed contemporary is at. If an,
friend can tell US and will do so, W
shall be extremely grateful.
f ITFELL STILL BORN.
The long talked of and much ad
r vertised Democratic history of tn
last legislature has arrived. It fe]
still born, or rather ''died a-born
ing" The Democratic State CON
I mittee met---they put their long face
together---the mountain was in labo
and the mouse has come forth. Ye
the book has arrived, but it is mimi
q the picture of the Democratic nj
gro magistrates. The Democrat
e machine desecrated the unwilling Q
i the Confederate monument by try
q ing to sell their Douglassass editio
;; on that day. But the people woul
e not buy it. Then they tried to Civ
r: it away, but when the people learne
e that it contained nothing but a n
e hash of what had appeared in tt
IS News and Observer, the people tire
e it on the streets and would not tai
it home with them. One old vetera
said that the News and Observ'
b was not decent enough to 20 I'M
y his family circle, and that THEREOF
IT the rehashed book could not 60 in
lc his home. The Democratic machir
- is making itself ridiculous.

u On last Thursday Mr.. Carlisle, tt

~, cit is said that no one but bank
