CONCORD, n. c., June "A
grander piece of political meanness
never was attempted than was car
rled out here yesterday by the Demo-
cratic justices of the peace of Ca
samus county.
These ring hirelings were sum-
moned here presumably to levy
taxes, but th.ir real object was to
try to throw me out OF Office by
abolishing the Office of county treas
urer, for no other reason III the world
than that | was Populist and would
not bow the knee to a few devils.
Suspectlng nothing many of the
POpulist justices of peace were at
home. They then abolished the
Office, or they thought they did. How
is this? Elected by the people, in

Democratic officers, giving an ex-
tremely heavy bond, and now few
Democratic justices of the peace
come along and say: The voice of
the people Is d farce; all laws are in
vain, and you must walk out because
we say So. They gave no reason,
only that ! must not serve as treas

of such high handed assumption9

out the hast vestigs of Democratic

they would treat US worse than dogs,

use to have an election if this is law

TARBoRO, n. c., June IL have
watched with much interest the
actlon of some of the newspapers in
this State with reference to the silver
question.
Many of them have been painfully
silent on this great question
Very recently they.have raised quite
a fursrs over the free coinage o.
silver.
The national platform of the Peo
pies Party, adopted on the 18th July
1892, points out the evils in a luclC
manner, and properly prescribes thu
remedy by which this country i:
to obtain relief. 1t Is singular that
of the twelve million voters in thi'
country in '92 only one million O.
that number kneao what they were
voting for.
The two old parties said that th'
, adjustment of the tariff question
woald bring relief to the masses. Tn

Of 1892.
The Populist orators and paper
stoutly and ably maintained that tn
tariff was not the cause of the genera

3 The verdict of the people, at tn
{ pslls, was recorded against that view
. But hsw wonderfully has been tn
