The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1896-10-15

eRxArRn are IL najorities Which
the machine "sounss7 up for The
Democratic party. Tie cane thing
might be said Of cArkansas and
Florida. These States have all held
elections recently, and OF COURSE
all have gone Overwhelmingly Dem
ccratic. The machine can elect the
the president Of National Bank ~
Governor Of Alabama on . platform
which declares AGAINST National
Banks. 1t can manage to get up .
majority Of 10000 in Georgia for
the Democrats, when the Democra-
tie farsy is opposed by three parties
whose combined vote is over 50, 600
more than the Democrats ever polled
in that State. Great is the machine.
The Democrats in these States say
they are for silver. But in 1892
they rolled up big maiorities for
Cleveland. THEY WOULD DO THE
SANE THING TODAY if Cleveland were
the Democratic nominee. They
would r urn majori.ies for either .
siiverite or goldbug provided he
was the DeE ocratic nominee. They
would count up majority for
the devil if that parsonage were q
candidate with the Democratic brand
On him.
Protest against these machine
methods is dangerous. There has
not been an election in Alabama or
Georgia in the past four years dur
ing which there has not been violence
and bloodshed. Not very long ago
a protest was made against the ras-
cality of the Democrats in the Tenth
Congre ssional district of Georgia.
This is Tom Watson's district. That
protest led to violence on the part of
Democrats who opened up row
that resulted IL tha killing ID number
of men. A humble cf murders
occurred at he recent sleciiAn IL
Alabama because some men hsd h.
courage to charge D moera;ic mani
pulators with the rascp]ity os which
they (ths Dsmocra:s) knew the,
were guilty. Down in Mississippi
the Populi>t nominee for Governor
was shot and seriously crippled by
Democratic thugs because he had
the courage to oppose their rascally
and fraudulent methods. And this
will be the regular course of pro-
ceedure until the people of those
States shall and some way to crush
the Democratic "courting mach,ne"!
The accomplishment of thst end
is a terrible undertaking, but it CAN
BE DONE. The State OF North Caro-
lima has shown that it can be done.
But it requires almost unreasonable
fortitude and inexpressible determi-
nation. The most malignant abuse
and the most Internal Vaccinations
that can be devised by Democratic
Ingenuity must be faced and en-
dured. If there is an unwillingness
to do this, the only sensible thing is
to submit to the machine. It is USE
less to fight it until you can arrive
at that point where you are willing
to put courage against arrogance,
determined oversight against at
tempted secret rascality, patience
against rotten eggs, defence against
ostracism.
We speak with no bitterness here,
but we do speak from observation
and experience, and we declare the
above methods will win against the
most damnable Democratic methods
that ever cursed this country. And
the winning is worth tho price. A
Southern Democrat in power is the
most arrogant, domineerlng oppres-
slve tyro on earth. Out of power,
and facing local contest in which
the odds appear to be against him,
be is pitiable, rerenant. political
dealhunter and bargain-seeker.
The stuff Of which he is made can
be clearly discovered, and ths re- is a
refreshing, invigoratirg relief at the
thought that there is at least q
chance to keep him and his kind
from management and control of
public interests and affairs.
Try it, men of Georgia and Ala
bama. We would never suggest
that you resort to violence. You
must rather submit to some violence
If you would win, but work, patti
ence and determination will bring
you through if you care to make the
trial.
LINE Up, BOYS!
