The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1895-09-19

We Don't Want Democratic RsfoFmers.
For the Caucasian.
ROCKY MOUNT, N. c., Sept. 16 =
You can put me down as one who is
always ready to do all that l pos
slbly can for reform, and feel when
l am working for the CAUCASIAN, l
am working for reform. There are
people in our section now reading
the CAUCASIAN who, q year ago,
would not take it out of the Office
after it had been sent to them free.
l send you to-day nineteen subscrib-
ers, making IL in two weeks.
l only wish it was forty hundred.
l do earnestly believe the CAU-
CAsIAN is doing more for the reform
in politics than any other paper
printed. 1t is simply a dynamite
bomb thrown weekly in the camp of
the ballot box robbers and election
swindlers, and 1t is scattering them
to the four winds Of the earth; and l
hope it may live to obliterate them
from the minds of all honest people.
l see in the Democratic papers
that they are proposing to fuse with
as. have talked with several Of
my friends in regard to the matter
and find them of my opinion. l am
willing to give any honest Democrat
the right hand of fellowship who
wants to join our party, but We
don't want q single one of their ma
chine. They have disrupted their
own party, aud now their only rea-
son for fusion is that they know they
are dead. They want to come as
pretended friends to destroy and
stop the progress We have made for
reform. They are working hand in
hand with the British. They find
they can't whip us fair and they
have adopted the plan of the British
to whip US by secret encroach-
ments. We can see plainly, that in
the last United States Congress,
when they had all power in all three
branches Of the government, how
they stuck to the British on the g
nancial questlon-that the machine
is for the British and not for the
people Of this nation; and l say te
you, fellow citizens, that we dom
want any such reform. Keep your
eyes open, and dash to earth the op
pressers. J.D. BARNES.
A Dead Sure Way to Bind Public Omcials

enclese you another club. / hop,
the circulation of the CAUcAsIAl
may become 80 great, that its infu
ence may not only be felt in securing
q permanent Victory for the Peo
ple's party in North Carolina, bu
in the nation in 1896. l shall mos
assuredly do what l can to advanc,
the cause of the Peoples party 8
long as that party remains true +
the people. But when traitors begi
to sneak into our ranks, and begiI
to break faith with the people, an
betray them into the hands OF q
enemy. then the patriots within on
ranks should let it be known that "
have no room for traitors, and the
, should be summarily dealt with.
Every person protesting to belon
to our party who is elected to an
Office Of trust or profit, who does nc
carry out every pledge he makes I
the people while holding such ofic'
should, upon his return to the peopl.
be taken out and hung. II a few 81
amples were made Of such scour
drels, I think that politics might b
purified.
II the legislature would. and
) would be still better if Cengres
would, pass an act taking the frsr
chise together with right to hold o.
, fee from all such miecreants, Aft
having been convicted on . chars
Of faithlessness in Office, it might 4
! some good.
