New Senator From Marylxud.

The Republicans of the Maryland
legislature have elected George l..
Wellington to succeed Chas. Gibson
Dem.) as U. s. Senator. Yelling
ton is a man of force and character.
He began to work for himself at the
age of IA years, and his sterling
character has made him popular. A
telegram from Cumberland, the
home of Wellington, says:
''Great excitement prevailed in
this city over the announcement of
g. L. Wellington's nomination. Cit
liens irrespective of party are con-
graduating one another. The result
was announced in the Academy of
Music to q large audience during the
performance Of q drama. The audi
ence arose en- masse and shout after
shout rang out. It was fully ten
miputes before the play could go on.
But Wellington is . "goldbug" and
his election is no gain to the people.

We also note from the Record that
Senator Butler arose and while he
did not waste any time in discussing
parties, be told the Senate that North
Carolina was free silver State and
that it would not give single cleo
torial vote in the rext election to

Senator Butler is right. This year
North Carolina will give eleven cleo
toral votes for a President who Is
an American patriot and who stands
right on the financial question. The
majority of the voters of the State
endorse the resolution passed by the
silver convention held in Raleigh on
the 25th of last September. II the
Peoples Party shall cooperate with

Elsewhere We present . letter
written by State Senator Lindsay,
in which he, rs an individual, ad-
vanees proposition to the effect
that the Peoples Party stands ready
to cooperate with the Republican or
Democratic party on a distinctive
line of principles" Senator Lindsay
makes NO advance nor does he VIC
late the position of the Peoples

tried TO cooperate with Democrats
at the silver convention in Raleigh,
on September 18th, but when .
question of principle came up, Dem
Gratis made an inglorious and dis
graceful backdown. They dropped
principle like it was a red hot brick.
The mistake that Senator Lindsay
makes is the assumption that Demo

THE silver CONTENTION.

The National Silver Convention
which assembled in Washington last
week was an earnest, deliberate, in
telligsnt and determined representa-
tive body. The delegates came from
nearly all the States and they were
all Of the same mind, inspired by
the same common patriotic purpose.
The convention determined without
q discordant note to put principle
above party, and in the coming cam
paign make . common fight against
the gold gamblers. Once the con-
vention assembled the determine
ton was quickly reached that the
reconciliation Of silver could be ef-
fected only by Independent politi-
cal action and the election of q sill
yer man to the Presidency.
With this question settled the
convention had only to deal with
details. The entire meeting was
harmonious; the delegates were ju-
bilant, enthusiastic and confident.
There was no Boosting, but there
was enough plain talking to scare
silver Democrats and silver Republi
cans out of the bushes. 1t was
business meeting, and both old par
ties so understood it. 1t will meet
again in joint session at st. Louis
July %. That date and place was
named by the Peoples Party Ma
tional Executive Committee at st.
Louis, last week, and adopted by
the Silver Convention.
The Peoples Party Convention
and the Silver Convention will meet
as separate bodies, with a common
understanding to nominate the same
candidates for President and vice.
President. The money question will
be the paramount issue. All other
issues will be subordinate to it. A
ticket will be named without regard
to past party Identification and one
last heroic effort will be made to
emancipate the people from the in
satiate greed of American monopo-
lists and the grinding tyranny of
British gold domination.
North Carolina was represented
by Senator Marion Butler, DR.. Mott,
B. F. Keith, and J. H. Pearson, of

JUDGE CLARK AND SILVER IN
MEXICO.

It may be remembered that at the
meeting of the State Press Associa-
ton held at Greensboro last summer,
Moses H. Cone, of the great cotton
plaid trust, offered to contribute
$500 toward paying the expenses OF
certain Democratic editors to 60 to
Mexico to acquire and publish in
formation about that DEGRADED sill
yer using country! These same ed
itors Zone a goldbug and one q pro-
Tossing silverite-but both Demo
crats) wanted to 60; but the Asso-
citation had the good sense not to as
sumo the appearance of endorsing
hirelings of a goldbug's money.
The people, however, will not lose
the information which they should
have about that country. Elsewhere
we present letter written by Asso-
ciate Justice Walter Clark, now
in Mexico, whose statements are not
to be questioned relating to the use of
silver. We have never seen or read q
clearer and more forcible document.
1t is a vivid blaze of information. In
it's light the truth stands out in such
bold relief that conviction of it's ex-
istence is irresistible; and he who
will not accept it as it appears here,
must wilfully deny the truth. We
have no doubt that some few gold
bugs will do this. They never deny
anything but the truth in trying to
promote their damnable policy and
infamous plans of robbery.
We thank Judge Clark for writ
ing this letter. Everybody ought to
read and analyze it. Though not
very long, it is a mine of immense
wealth in the matter of information
Its illustrations and warnings arc
deeply significant. We hope every
paper in the State-and especially
every Reform paper in the State and
nation will publish it. 1t may be
put down as an eternal fact that any
statement that Judge Clark may
make is absolutely improbable.

IAN at the renunciation of Democ

lection to their publicity and because
We desire that the readers of The

A perusal of Senator Buffers letter
will clearly show the action of the
State executive committee at it's last
meeting. Both the matter under
discussion and conclusions arrived
at were thought to be of too much
importance to be finally determined
by the committee, and hence the
chairman sought to ascertain the
opinion of the people by sending out
circular letters to the county chair
men and to a number of members of
the party.
Now let attention be given to this
part of the letter:
"OUR COMMITTEE WANTS TO KNOW

and therefore it must have required
a. wild stretch of the imagination
and'a woeful distortion of language

the part of either the chairman or
the committee. The action of the

awe are in favor Of cooperation
just so long as our Populist friends
are reasonable in their demands; but
IL they become obstreperous, we Re-
publicans will simply step u and
clear the field"
The Peoples Party has named but
one condition to co operation. The
people OF North Carolina are OPP
posed to the single gold standard
and every patriot in America is OPP
posed to il.
Therefore the Peoples Party makes
the reasonable" proposition to CO.
operate against the infamous British
Gold standard policy. The Peo-
ple's Party wants cooperation, but
wants cooperation for the good and
cooperation against the bad. The
Peoples Party can not co operate
with those who insist upon voting
and working to put a goldbug in the
White House. II that is "unreason-
able" then we are proud Of being
"unreasonable:' if that is "obstrep-
erous," then we will continue to be
o'obstreperous.
In conclusion We might say that
no party that insists upon support
ing goldbug for President, will do
much toward clearing the field" in
North Carolina.
The majority OF the voters of this
State will vote to strike down the
wrongs of British gold tyranny.
For this we will cooperate with
every patriot in tie State. We will
fight any nan or party that upholds
and supports the British gold policy.

EDITORIAL COM Nj EMIT,

THE CAUCASIAN again announces
that it will give Solicitor Pou the
names of parties, who, if examined
by the grand jury, might prove able
to throw more light and information
on the Brown-Satterield case than
the public is now in possession Of.
If these men or either of them were
corrupted, somebody did the cor
rupting. Who soas this somebody!
This is.the main question and a good
jury and good solicitor ought to come
close to finding out who he, she or it
is. Until this is done there's no
sense in talking about the proper
meeting out of justice. We have
neither criticised the verdict of the
jury nor the sentence of the Judge,
but a minority of people only are of
the opinion that the evidence ought
to have led to conviction.

DEMOCRAT CHARGED WITH EN-
BEZZLEMENT.

A report is out to the effect that
Mr.. W. A. Chappell, former Demo-
cratic county superintendent of
Wake county, has been presented by
the grand jury for embezzlement.
The presentment is based on the
presumption that Mr.. Chappell re-
ceived fees for the examination of
teachers which ought to have been
turned into tho county treasury, and
which were not turned in but retain
ed by Mr.. Chapp<,ll.
A mean and low intimation comes
from Democratic source that this
action is intended as q counter-irri-
tant to the cOnvic ton of Brown and
Satterfeld in a partisan, political
way. If this is the animus that is
to inspire effort TO discover and pun
ish wrong, what is to become of the
countryf 1t is hardly possible that
such an idea could have originated
