AHA! HOW IS THIS FOR FusIoN3'

Neither Republicans Nor Democrats
Could Organize tho Ssnste-so They
VIII Get Together-Will Fuse" for Pie
They Are Getting "Non-Partissn'-Er'
Ha! Hail Ham
The Democratic members of the Sem
ate held q CAUCUS last week, for the
purpose Of discussing the question Of
patronage.
The proposition upon which Sena-
tor German, representing the Demo
Gratis, and Senator Elkins, represent
ing the Republicans, have been work
ing for several weeks was submitted to
the caucus and appeared to meet with
favorable consideration. This prOpo-
sitiOn provides for q nOn-partisan dis
tribution of the patronage equally
among the ninety Senators who COM
pose the body.
There are about eighteen emplOye s
who from long years of experience
have become invaluable to the Senate,
and these men will be placed on list
and charged up to the Senate as q
body. The other places will then be
distributed equally.
OF course, q revision of this sort
means that some of the employees will
have to go, and they will probably be
those whose Senators have lost their
seats and who are therefore no longer
with Senatorial backing.
The whole subject, after discussion,
was left to the steering committee.
The committee will confer with the
similar committee for the Republicans,
and after q Republican caucus it is be-
lieved the whole matter will be settled
on the basis here indicated.

SIXTH DISTRICT POPS.

The Congregational Committee Meets
What 1t Did and What 1t Thinks.
Our Homel
In accordance with the cali Of
Chairman Morton, there was a meet
ing of the members of the Peoples
Party executive committee of the
9th Congressional district, held at
Rockingham, last Thursday, the
10Th, for consultation. The reports
from the counties represented were
very encouraging, and indicated
that the Populists have made i'm
mense gains from both old parties
since last election and is in a still
growing condition. No action was
taken with regard to cooperation. as
indicated by the following resolu-
ton which was unanimously adopt
ed by the committee:
"REsOLvED, That it is the sense
Of this committee not to take any
action with regard to cooperation,
but to await further DEVELOPMENTS
It was decided to hold the next
Congressional convention at Lum-
berton, time to be named later by
the committee. The convention will
probably not be held until after tho
national convention which meets at
st. Louis, July q.

Wilcox; the Republican politician
who got into an alteration with
Brothers, the Democratic Registrar
at the latter's house during the cam
paign of 's4, snd finally shot aud
killed him, was acquitted in the Su-
perior Court at Elizabeth City last
night Judge Robinson charged the

guilty and senteneed to fifteen years

to the Supreme Court and . new
trial was granted with the before

Three cheers for Burke. Onslow 10
coming. Let others fall in. Sound the
tocsin. Arouse the people. Let them
once unite and there will be formed An
invincible phalanx that will not only
successfully resist the encroachments
OF plutocracy and monopoly, but will
drive them from the face Of this coun-
try. This is not the home Of robbers
and oppressors, and If the people say
it, by the Eternal they must find some
other country to prey upon, II that
country will let them. But as for US,
we want them not and will not have
them.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1896-03-26

Seven years ago the men who now
compose the Peoples Party began an
earnest fight for a reformation Of the
financial system. They began by try
ing to reform the old parties. They
quickly saw the impossibility of doing
so. They formed new party. 1t was
cursed and abused with all the vindic-
tiveness and malice that the bench
men of the devil could inspire. But
these men met the storm of abuse with
truth for a sword and honesty as q
shield. To-day this demand consti-
tutes the great issue before the people.
All kinds and classes of people are ad-
hitting the necessity of this demand.
Had it not come to be a necessity, as
was plainly foretold, it would never
have been recognized. Power does not
recognize justice. Necessity is the
only agency that can move Power.
just note the account of that meeting
of great manufacturers in Washing
ton with silver Senators, and you will
see another great admission that the
Peoples Party is right-even in point
of necessity for commercial business
interests.

Some weeks ago Messrs. Reed and
Craig fired load of shot into party
"cuckoos" and "magpies" that caused
fearful CONSERVATION among them and
created a terrific chattering and fut-
tering. Did Messrs. Reed and Craig
stop because of the din? Not much.
They have fired another shot that has
nearly annihilated the chatterers. Read
it in this issue.

In another column We publish q re-
markable dispatch. 1t says that the
Republican State convention at Ohio
did not say one word in behalf OF the
patriots in Cuba who are struggling
for liberty. The explanation for this
is Mckinley got q telegram from the
goldbugs Of New York opposing any
recognition Of Cuba's struggle for
freedom. The Cubans are now making
the same struggle for liberty that we
made in 1915. The goldbugs and tories
are OF course now against liberty on
the side Of cruelty and oppression az
they have always been.

WHY IT WAS SILENT.

Cuba Not Mentioned in Ohio Platform to
Please Exporters.
CHICAGO, March ia dispatch
from Columbus, Ohio, says that the
reason the platform was silent on the
subject of Cuba was that Ex-Governor
Mckinley had received a petition from
New York business men deprecating
any declaration on that subject as cal
culated to further infiame the public
and disturb our export trade.
Word was thereupon sent to the
committee on resolutions, and Cuba
was not mentioned.

"No State is so completely equipped
for self-support as North Carolina. 1t
could be Independent of the rest of the
world. She ought to have to-day $780,
600 people, with immense manufac-
lures, and her fields producing an ample
supply for all the wants of her peO-
plea. X. Mcclure.
U-u-u-mph! If we had as much
money as Mcclure has made as a
mOuthpiece and member of plutocracy
and monopoly, and lived in Philadel-
phia, and thought about North Caro-
lima as he says he does, Philadelphia
couldn't hold us. Why in the name of
justice hasn't North Carolina got all
these people and things? Will Nc
Clure please tell us? He says she
ought to have them! Who has pre-
vented her from getting them? Rise

quite enough.

A Republican Congressional conven-
ton in Kansas unanimously endorsed
Mckinley for President and then
passed a free silver resolution. And
this recalls the fact that in 1894 the
Democratic convention of this State
passed a free silver resolution and
then-endOrsed Cleveland. Look out
Kansas. Your cousin Demys here are
nearly two years ahead of you in
"straddling" and lying platforms.

Lincoln's salary at $4,000 year

bushels of wheat. Cleveland's salary
at $4,000 year and wheat at an aver

600 bushels of wheat; eight times as
much wheat to support traitor as to

Mr.. Lacroix describes himself as
a man who will vote for SOUND
MONEY with the party il he can,
without it if he must; and yet he in
Weighs against a proposition that
silver men shall vote for silver in
the party If they can, or without it
if they must. 1t seems utterly i'm
possible for a goldbug to assume or
maintain a consistent posi- ton.
