The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1896-02-20

Mr.. Cheadle is one of the most
prominent Republicans in Indiana,
was for a number Of years . member
of Congress from his district. This
article, coming from a Republican
Of high standing and great ability
and addressed to the Republicans
OF the State, is SO timely and signid-
cant that we reproduce it in full
IN order that our readers may
see tie drift Of opinion Of those in
all parties who have walked up to
the infamy Of the British gold stand
ard, and to the hypocrisy Of the two
old parties, with straddling plat
forms, but always with candidates
who can be relied on to betray the
interests OF the American people.

How can any Populist cast a vote
for electors who will vote to put a
goldbug in the white housep How
can any good man in any party who is
opposed to the gold standard vote for
such ticket One of the reasons that
influenced every man who left the
Democratic party and Joined the Peo-
pies Party was that the Democratic
party declared against goldbugs and
monopolsts in the State, yet voted and
worked to elect goldbugs and monopo-
lists for Presidents. Now shall We en-
courage and assist the Republican par
ty to do what We have condemned and
repudiated the Democratic party for
doingY

Mr.. U. S. Hall, of Missouri, was. in
the early days of the Farmers Alt
ance, one of its foremost men, and stay
ed in it as long as he could. When it
became political party he quit it. as
pretty much all other Democrats have
since done. Mr.. Hall was elected to
Congress from the second district of
his State some years ago, as a Demo-
crat, and IS a Congressman still. Very
recently he has repudiated free silver
and ranged himself on the side of sound
mOney.-Charlotte Observer.
We know something about this man
Hill. He has proven traitor to every
trust reposed in him by the people who
gave him prominence. We do not be-
lieve there is an honest farmer or
workinsman in his district who would
go his security for five cents. He
started out as a champion of the peo-
pie. He has since become a mere tool
of plutocracy. In an honest election
in his district he could not be elected.

The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1896-02-20

This is the way to prevent the DEM
Ocratis machine from again getting in
control: this is the way to preserve
our election laws and county govern
ment; this is the way to condemn gold
bugs and tories, and at the same time
advance the great cause of financial
reform. Such . fight would gain
strength from start to finish and pile
up majority of over seventy-Hve
Thousand on next November. Will
our Republican friends stand by their
convictions and follow such a course,
or will they turn their backs upon all
of these things in order to vote for
goldbug for Presidentf
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1896-02-20

Again, what spectacle it would be
for MS to have State ticket with one
half of the candidates supporting and
advocating on every stump the cleo
ton of a goldbug for President, and
the other half of the candidates on the
same State ticket fighting goldbugs
and supporting just the opposite kind
of candidate. There is no use in
discussing such proposition; it falls
Of its own weight; it condemns itself;
it is absurd. If anything could cover
up the Inconsistency and hypocrisy of
the Democratic party, and make it
possible for that discredited organiza-
ton to hold together, it would De for
the Peoples Par @ sacrifice its prin-

The seat of power in this Govern
ment is in the White House. Then
let US put up an independent electoral
ticket, pledged not to candidates but
to principles. Let us put up a CO.
operative electoral ticket pledged
against the single gold standard, and
pledged to vote for the candidate for
President who represents these great
principles that the people of North
Carolina believe in. Let us vote for a
candidate for President who stands
for what we want and need. Let us
do this and then we can have a CO.
operative state ticket, and CO. operation
all the way down the line, with perfect
harmony aud consistency. Then we
will have battle for prime; pie as in
the last campaign when every man to
the cooperation was fighting for the
sa.'. ~ iFlas . no end of the
state 10 the other.

The action OF the Peoples Party
National Committee and the action
Of the silver men in calling conven.
tons at st. Louis on the same day
have inspired hope in the patriots Of
the two old parties from ocean to
ocean. They now see an opportun-
ity to free themselves by getting to-
gether for Independent action if the
parties which they have served so
long shall continue to trifle with the
people and bow to the golden calf.

Mr.. Cheadle sounds 4 note Of
warning to the Republicans Of the
State and the nation, serving notice
on them that the people will not sub
NIT to the politicians playing their
old game Of hide and seek. BE
wants to know where such men as
Reed, Mckinley, Morton, Allison and
other Presidential candidates stand,
and serves notice on them and their
partisan supporters that they must
take sides either squarely with the
people or squarely with the gold COM
bine. He says that the time has come
when the people must be dealt hon
estly with and that there must be no
hedging or straddling.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1896-02-20

Now Senator Pritchard knows, and
every intelligent man knows that nei-
ther his vote or anybody else's vote in
Congress will give the people free sill
yer or relief of any other kind as long
as there is goldbug in the White
house. He knows that the only way to
get an American system of finance is
to vote for men who favor such sys-
TEN of finance for President. He
knows that the only way to defeat
goldbugs is to vote against goldbuSs.
Now let Senator Pritchard and bis
friends stand with Senator Butler and
the Peoples Party in making a square
fight in the coming campaign against
the goldbugs and for the principles
which we all endorse.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1896-02-20

But we can have cooperation and
successful cooperation on principle if
those who oppose the gold standard
will stand by their convictions. We
can have cooperation without any
sacrifice of principle, but to maintain
principle. The masses of the Republic
cans in the State are opposed to the
British gold policy. They favor free
silver and an American system of fl
nance. Senator Pritchard reflects the
sentiment of the Republican party on
this question, and we have only to re-
fer to his open letter in THE CAUCA-
SIAN of last week in which he says:
al have proven my loyalty to the
cause of silver by my votes in the Sen
ate. My record will parallel that of
Senator Buffers on that great and vi
tai question. My votes on this ques-
ton not only reflect the sentiments of
the people | represent, but they ex-
press my earnest convictions and my
earnest purpose to secure an American
system of finance"

a strange case is presented to the
local medical fraternity in the person
of the nineteen -year-old daughter CT
Mrs. Daniel Smith, a widow, living
along the National turnpike, near
Boonsboro, Washington county. Two
years ago she took to her bed with a
malady which the physicians could not
determine. Her form wasted away
until she is but a mere skeleton. APP
parently she suffers no pain. Up to
within ffty-two days ago she partook
of food, but since that time she has re-
fused to eat. DR.. Harry Wade, of
Boonsboro, attended her until be died,
when his brother, DR.. Hubert Wade,
attended her, and all that he gave her
was whisky injected hypodermically.
Her case created notoriety, and many
persons went to see the living skele-
ton" as she is called, lying helpless in
her bed. A few days ago, it is said, she
was seen walking around the room,
and the supposition is that when no
one is around she procures food. No
one supposed she had strength enough
10 leave the bed. a watch has been
placed upon her, and the physician
says if she Will eat he can save her.

Some Political Pointers.

Here a straw to show how the wind
is blowing: Mr.. o. L. Tichenor, a
travelling man from St. Louis, whose
business takes him to the smaller towns
and the farming communities, stopped
yesterday at the Entler Hotelin Shep-
herdstown. Mr.. Tichenor said to a
REGISTER representative last night
that so far as his observation would
allow him to Judge, the silver senti-
ment is growing in the West to such
an extent as to make Bryan's election
certain. He is just from Illinois,
where he says the people nearly all
seem to be for free silver In one
community he visited there is a club
of Republicans, 200 strong, every one
of whom is pledged to vote for Bryan.
They won allow Democrat to join,
but take their members only from the
Republican ranks. There are many
similar organizations throughout the
State. Mr.. Tichenor talked in the
most conservative way, but the simple
facts as he told them are most con-
vincing
A joint meeting of the Democratic
and Populist committees Of West Vir-
ginia was held yesterday at Parkers-
burg, and fusion between the two par
ties was amicably effected on the basis
originally suggested by the Populists
of four Democrats and two Populists.
The committees continued their session
today with the hope of extending the
agreement to the State ticket.
Judge Daniel B. Lucas, nominee for
presidential elector from the second
congressional district, has written a
letter to Andrew Edmiston, chair
man of the Democratic State commit
tee, expressing his willingness to with
draw from the ticket in favor Of giving
the populists in the State a place on
the ticket, provided fusion with that
party can be effected.
Col. n. W. Fitzgerald, the Populist
candidate for Governor OF West Vir-
ginia, says that Bryan will get all the
5000 Populist votes in this State, and
and will surely carry it in November.
He also Gays that W. G. Brown will
undoubtedly be elected to Congress
from this district.

Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen.
orally needed when the languid, ex-
hausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of tonic and Alternative Is felt.
A prompt use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and free
ing the system from the malarial pol
son. Headache, Indigestion, Consti-
patton, Dizziness yieldto Electric Bit
tiers. SOC. and $100 per bottle at
any drug store.

The Republicans, as a matter Of
bluff, are claiming pretty nearly every
thing for Major Mckinley. But Elk
Senator Henderson, of Nebraska, an
ardent Republican, who has just made
political tour through the western
States, warns his colleagues Of danger,
and writes as follow: "The East
should fully appreciate the fact that
there is really but little hope, unless
conditions change, that Mckinley will
get a single vote in any Of the States
west of the Missouri. If Bryan is to
be defeated it must be by carrying
every State east of the river and north
of Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri.

The Rev. G. ID. Hockey preached a
sermon in this place last Sunday night

discourse was a patriotic and able
effort, and one that could not help but
inspire the heart and elicit the praise
and admiration of every true American
present. His idea of promptly dealing
out justice to anarchists and rioters Is
our idea ezactly-the quickest and
best mode should be employed, whether
it be military or civil. We hope Mr..
