The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1895-05-16
A recent telegram saws:

A recent telegram says:
The Chicago Mail recently sent letters to
leading men of both parties, Senators and
Re presentatives in Congress, members of
the national and State committees, Gov.
ernors of States, and members of legisla-
lures, asking them if in their opinion Grover
Cleveland was candidate for third term,
and if so, whether he was expected to run
as the Democratic Or the Republican candi-
date, or the candidate of a third party form
ed by the supporters of the gold standard in
both organizations.
The first installment of the replies, which
is published this afternoon, shows that
who believe that Mr.. Cleveland is third
term candidate on the gold standard plat
form.
Say! Did you read this extract
carefully Did you notice that a
question is asked as to whether Cleve-
land Will run as a Democrat or Re
publican? You see in any event he
is spoken of as a candidate on the
gold platform.
Carlisle is Cleveland's secretary of
the treasury. On February Dist, 1878,
Callisle said in Congress-:
Il know that the worlds supply of pre-
cious metals is none too large, and see nc
reason to apprehend that it will ever become
so. Mankind will be fortunate, indeed, il
the annual production of gold and silver
coin shall keep pace with the annual in
crease of population, commerce and indus
According O
the conspiracy which seems to have beer
formed here and in Europe to destroy by
legislation and otherwise, from three
seventies to half of the money of the
world, is the most gigantic crime of this OF
any other age"
The Conspiracy which Mr.. Car
isle referred to was the demonetiza
ton of silver. Then he was a repre-
sentative from Kentucky. Now he i.
in Cleveland's cabinet and is &
sniyelling cuckoo. He does wha
Cleveland says. Cleveland appointed
him to Office In an interview thi!
week he said:
81 do not know how this is all coming out
1t looks dubious enough now. 1t NAV b,
we can stem the free silver tide but if W,
cannot dislike to contemplate what is t.
come after. If the Democratic convention
should declare for free silver and nominal,
free silver candidate, l cannot now see any
course open to me except to vote the Repub
lican ticket"
So it grows palmer day by day
that the people have been too con
fiding. They have put too much
trust in their leaders. The ''leaders'
have talked prettily-have said nice
soundings things-but have always
worked and voted the other way. Il
was not till Democratic administers
ton and Congress was elected thai
the mask was torn off, and the PEG
pie could see the naked duplicity api
villainy of the leaders, The Demo
Gratis actually made things worse
than the Republicans ever did, ani
the Republicans had been abused fol
their rascality for twenty years by
the Democrats, and now they ar.
coming together. This is why W,
ask if you are awake. Do you know
what is going emf What are yo1
