SAINT LEWIS, NC, June 3 What
IN the world i. the matteri Is there
no esd to the energy pluck and de-
,srmInation of the great reform press,
lecturers and writer's Of this nationg
will they not heed or hear to the old
party Iash'
Don't you remember i'm the cam
palgn Of two years ago, that Marion
Bp,lrr. the great head of the Alliance
and the reform movement in this
State. was found guilty by the old
marty of treason, because he was at
trr head of this movement, which
broke through the old party lines
and bowed up their strongest fort,
which fort was composed of partisan
strife and prejudicel And don't you
know the penalty imposed upon Mr..
Butler by this old party for this acts
Why, sir, he had to take one or
more showers of eggs. and lose the
natcral portion of the charter Of
the State Alliance! and bless your
life. sir, Mr.. Butler did not seem to
notice these penaltiO and persecu-
tons, for in the last campaign he
was up and at his same old tricks
again. And when the peoples rep
rs.entatives met in their Legislative
halls they were not slow in forming
court to try Mr.. Bntler for this
second offence. And blame me, if it
didn't turn out just like | said in the
last campaign. lie was found guilty
and sentenced to leave the state and
90 to the District of Colunbia, there
to serve u term of six years In the
United States Senate, at hard labor,
for the Imerican people.
Now Mr.. Butter is n small man,
but Is good pluck, and would get
along and serve out this penalty very
we'll II it were not for the company
that he will have to keep. Why, sir,
they tell me that there is n man iii
Washington City with head SO
large that his brain and body is big
ger than his whole party (and blame
me, II don't believe this Is the truth
now; and they tell me that this great
big man has not only run Gen. Ran.
som out of the United States tC
Mexico, but he goes into the House si
Representatives and Senate and
sIashes around among the boys ust
like they were his slaves, and not
strcdats Of the people.
Well. know that these charges
and penalties imposed upon Mr.. But
Ter by these old party wreckers are
very great, but | truly hope that the
Lord will be with him while In Wash
lngton, and spare him from being
crushed by the jaws of this grea
man, as He spared Daniel while il
the lions den.
want to say to Capt. kitchin
Major Guthrie, Sibley, Stewart anC
Tom. Watson that they had better bt
on their guard, for fear of falling
victims to similar charges and pen
alties imposed upon Butler. | will say
to them to take courage from thu
fact that jefferson, jackson and Zeb
Vance Democracy, which gives t.
the whole people their rights, llbea
ties, prosperity and happiness is in
mortal; but the Democratic party o
today, without these principles, is o
the past. and will be known no more
as one of the great American Politl
cal parties. Why do | make thi
declaration, and what is my Judg
ment based uponf
1t is based on the honor, integrity
patriotism and knowledge of tn
American people as to how treacher
Gus and traitorous the present da.
Democratic party has been to tn
Jefferson, jackson and Zeb. Nanc
Democratic principles.
1t has been asserted that Senate
Vance said that the Democratic part
was immortal. II such be true it wa
the biggest mistake of his life. ID
should have said principles instead

these principles as regards the saliva
ton of the rights and liberties OF tn
people, which means prosperity an
happiness for this life, is no NOR

the soals of the people without

Now let us draw a line of compar
son between the present day Demo-
racy and that of Jefferson, and the
We can see where the old party t
day, in principle, is at. We mlgi
also consider at the same time II
difference between the present da
Republican party's principles an
Llncoln's principles; and after appl
ug our best thought and judgmen
unbiased by prejudice, we Will
able to see the great cause and pu
pose of a new and third party
order to restore this government

words, makes millionaires of Il
