in deep thought, his fo1efnger impress
sidly resting against his massive fore

lutions The Democrats have made ,
mistake by not attending The Popu

Ina that they are the real friends of

J.B Lloyd: Il take issue with Capt
Kitchin in the result aud effect of the
convention, and / believe that there is a
spirit Of determination among the rank
aud file OF all parties in North Carolina,
to unite along the lines indicated in
the resolutions. The cause we are fight
ing for now is one that involves the
preservation of the liberties of the
Asses, and no party or party leaders
will keep them from coming together in
1896, on a platform of financial reform
There is to-day very decided independ
ept spirit among the people, whether the
leaders know it or not, and some of the
men who attend this convention and
VINO have heretofore proclaimed friend
ship for silver, lost their opportunity in
not asserting their manhood and indie
pcndenee on the question"
