HALE. raE SMELL OF BRIM-
STONE AND WALL STRICT.
For some time the Fayetteville
Observer mss been exposing the
treachery of Senator Ransom to the
people of North Carolina 1t has
shown thai the Ransom machine
had gone over to JohufSherman and
his gold policy. The Observer has
denounced all this "per6dy and dis
honor" and at the Sane time sdvo-
Gated with great clearness that the
people must have the free and un-
limited coinage of silver before there
would be any substantial financial
relief. This all sounds very correct
and patriotic. But We were anxious
to know if the Observer meant what
it said. We wanted to know wheth-
er or not that paper would back up
it's convictions with actions when
the time came to act. So we kept
putting questions to that paper and
it kept lodging. At last the truth
came out The Observer admitted
that the money question was the all
importans issue and that Ransom
was a great enemy to the people, but
it virtually says if it were forced to
decide between its convictions and
Ransom that it would 60 with Ran

clares that "present day Democracy
is better than Populism." 1t says
that it will give up all its convic-

the Democratic party but"Wall street
and the smell of birthstone" But
Maj. Hale will not come. He prefer
Ransom aid Wall street.

Secretary Carlisle in an interview
published in the Washington Pos
says:
| "The sound money Democrats ART
doing good work now, and their wOrl
is sure to tell. Sound money is coins
to win; the tide has turned we'll tina
way"
Here is bold statement from tn,
very highest source in the Demo
cratic party that the gold bug Dem
ocrats care hard at work and thai
they are going to win" They ought
to win. They have charge of tn,
machinery of the Democratic part,
and they have the profits made out
Of the bond deals for, campaign
money. Yes they will win in cap
turing and controlling the Demo
cratic party, but they can not wiz
in capturing the country and de-
livering it over to England unles,
the free silver men and patriots in
sist on staying in the Democratic
and Republican parties and follow
ing such men and such measures.
The gold bugs are at work, what
are the silver Democrats doing?
Further on in the same interview
Secretary Carlisle says that he !,

Inmates that some people will be sur

Carlisle is no doubt getting "reports'
