Cleveland was nominated q candi-
date for the Presidency for the term
he is now filing. He would have
been beaten, Populist elected &c.
] believe at this time we would have
had peace and prosperity instead OF
hard times and oppression. My
opinion Of Mr.. Cleveland has never
changed. lie has proven to be just
what I always believed him to be-a
heartless oppressor, regardless OF
party-a plutocrat.
There are q great many people in
N. g., who did not vote at all in the
last election. Some of them hated
to give up their old party affiliations,
and some were doubling Thomases.
There we're great many who had
sworn against ever going into another
bull-pen to cast their ballots. Let
me say to those who like to affiliate
with the majority, you have no ex-
cuse along that line now, and to the
others, doubt no more.
When the Giver of all good is for
ur, who can be against us! i will
say to those who dreaded so much to
enter the bull-pep, the Democrats
have advertised the bull-pens in
Northampton county for sale or rent,
but there seems to be no bidders.
The people down here say, "the bull
pen was instrumental in the annihila
tion of the Democratic party of n.
c." and we are sure the Populists
will never have bull-pen, for they
hope to live.
Let me fay to the Populists as "the
fight is on" be ye ready and onward
march to the battle cry of freedom.
In every neighborhood in each coun-
ty, there is material to work upon:
LIST. The men who voted the Dem
ocratic ticket in the last general
election who have lately read Cleve-
lands letter 10 the friends of "sound
money" am of the opinion that the
minds of many of these are changed
and they are not willing to support
party who now wants Cleveland at
its head.
I'd. The men who failed to vote
on account of fearing they would be
in q minority. Let me say to you
my "third party" friends, work to-
day, for the night of your oppor-
tunity might come when you can
not work. Just 80 sure as each will
do his whole duty in this fight in
1896, the victory will be ours by an
overwhelming majority.
What was done in N. c., in 1894
by our commander-in-chief and his
few helpers when the State was
carried by land slide?
earnestly insist that every mar
(of the same political principles anC
feeliDgs) doing all in his power BY
leaving no stone unturned in al
honest and fair way to make tn
Populist party the greatest success
the world has ever known. l So,
this, for there is room for great i'm
provement, and it has been said b,
many opponents to said party Their
was no need of a third party-tha
our peace and prosperity would com
through the Democratic party.
ask you, my friends, where is tina
party today There is a remnan
who are trying to hold to the nam
of Democrat in disguise, but they ar
better known as-plutocrats.
In conclusion, say to the sub
scribers of The CAUCASIAN, afte
you read your papers, hand them t.
some friends, and soon they will Sc
they cannot do without it. Its col
umns are filled with sound politica
principles, and if all will heed it
teachings and warnings, peace AM
prosperity will be ours.
