FALLsToN, n. c., June S.-The
little machine of this place seems to
be a regular dog crusher. We were
utterly surprised the other day to see
a bench-legged ''phice" trotting
along on the street. We wonder
yet how it did escape. But we sup
pose they hated to put their machine
in motion for so small a product.
This machine was formerly known
as the democratic machine" but
some of our rustic heroes have re-
Gently changed its name and are
calling it the dog machine"-A
very suitable name, we think, for the
occasion.
Some of our county braves came
into town the other day and knocked
the machine out Of gear. They got
into a regular fsticuff with it and
came very near demollshing the
whole apparatus. So it is seen that
our county braves got the best Of the
dog pelters and came out victorious.
They went home rejoicing (though
minus six dollars and dog), wonder
ing if they would kill any more dogs
It looks as though the machine is
afraid of a dog reformation, espe-
cially on the part of those belonging
to the Pops. | reckon they are afraid
they will reform and howl down
Democracy.
We believe if they'd curl their tails
and vel p up a little, that they could
beat old Growers administration.
We are proud to state that the
CAUCASIAN is still making converts
for the Populist party. 1t has caused
the scales to fall from another one
of our Democratic neighbours eyes,
SO he can now see clear how to pull
the mote out OF somebody else's eye.
He says he had been a Democrat all
his life and sucked Democratic milk.
But he's got enough of it and says
he is going to range on the POpulist
ranch and see If his digestion will be
better.
Away back in Jeffersonian times
this Democratic milk that they love
to boast about so well, was pure and
unadulterated. But it won't do now.
1t is so adulterated that it is making
the people sick. Better all quit it and
take something that is pure and
wholesome.
The Pops are on a boom in old
Cleveland. Every one you meet says
he is stronger than ever before. You
meet good many new ones, too.
Every now and then an cid party
liner fops over and tells US he is
done with the two old parties. If we
can succeed in getting one of 'em to
read the CAUCASIAN we count him
ours, sure.
We believe that the Democratic
party has diminished at least 20 pei
cent in this county since the election
The people are not going to tolerate
a party that has defrauded them out
of their rights and are trying to hold
Office against the majority Of the
honest voters in the county
Long live the CAUCASIAN its
good work may 60 on till deliver
ance comes. A POP.
