North Wilkesboro. N. c. Oct. %.

To the tdIb0r: i see Ill Uo~U"J .
casian that the editor, who Is also
Chairman of the State Executive COM
mittee of the Peoples party, writes an
appeal to the Populists of the Suaoe 10
come to his rescue in his attempt 10
SELL OUT THE PEOPLES PARTY
TO RITSSELLISNf. He just gets down
ON his knees to beg them to vote Tor
Dalbv (Settle), in the Fifth, Linney IN
the Eighth, and Pearson in the Ninth
ALL GOLD BUGS.
T suppose that he expects, of course,
to get some support for himself IN so
doing. His appeal for the Fifth dis
trict is very pathetic. | do not THINK
he had seen Maj. Gutnrie's letter then,
asking the people not to vote for
Dalby.
stravs show whion way the winds
blow. and the Peoples party voters
will show which way the votes go, ana
not be fooled into electing any gold
bugs i'm North Carolina this year.
MIR. Butler tells his people that 1t
would be useless to elect Mr.. Bryan
without, at the same time, electlng
silver Congress ito support him. But
Mr.. Aver tells us that we must elect
Mr.. Bryan and beat all the silver Com
gressmen we possibly cam. You see
which way the winds blow?
Now, the whole truth of the matter
is. Mr.. Aver wants to be Auditor, and
HE DON'T CARE A CUSS ABOUT
THE PEOPLE so HE GETS THE
PIE.
Maj. Guthrie says in his letter of the
17th, do not consider me, but do your
duty as you see it," MIR. Aver says ON
the 27th: "a very delicate thing to
dc vote for Bryan, but beat the Demo
Gratis Which way does the wind
blow? Which shows the most patriot
ism? / ask my Peoples party friends.
'Ah, consistency, thou art a, jewel" but
in this Hannaized campaign, like an
gels visits, few and far between.
Gentlemen, WE ARE SOLD, but for
the good of our people, let us go to the
polls on the third of November and
make the BIDDING AS DEAR as pos
sTble for the buyer. If Mark Hanna
has to pay his money for what he gets,
/ hope he has got money enough to
pay all around, but / don't think he
has. At least, / hope there is enough
principle in the Old North State yet
not to LET A SET OF PIE HUNTERS
SELL THE STATE OUT TO RUSSELL
ISM AND NEGRO RULE. My friends,
you have been deceived, but do not be
deceived longer.
Mr.. Aver says in his last Caucasian
that he hopes all those who are not
true Populists will get out. hope
SO, too, because they clog the party by
telling the people that it is their duty
to HOLLER FREE SILVER AND
VOTE FOR GOLD. Such men ought
to get out as soon as possible for they
are not wanted. The principles of the
party cannot be sold. 1t may be bar
tered, burt not sold. The Old North
State has always stood for right, and
I viii not believe now that its people
viii be led off by a PACK OF HUNGRY
PIE HUNTERS THAT ARE WILLING
TO SELL THE DEAREST INTERESTS
OF THE STATE FOR A MESS OF OF
FICE.
/ wish, also, to pay my respects to
''Populist," (Wilkesboro). He says
that there may have been Democratic
convention on October 9th, but there
was not Populist meeting called then
or any other time, which is true as TO
the chairman He is like Mr.. Aver, de-
termined that WE SHALL VOTE THE
REPUBLICAN TICKET, OR BUST
THE PEOPLES PARTY HERE. We
have decided to bust it if 1t takes that
to do it this year, but we will try to re-
organize in the future and kick out
all those who have been kicked out of
other PARTIES. The plotters die hard,
but they must go. A man can't serve
two masters at once and not be caught.
He cannot holler for silver and vote
for gold.
Now, my Populist party friends, fol-
low the advice of such men as Butler,
Guthrie, Dockery, and many others
who stand for the principles that the
Peoples party has stood for, and do
not be,6N off by any prejudice to effect
the election OF any oiace-seeker. Prin-
ciple first; thea gAink Of Office. When
you know thai you have men in your
ranks who cannot be bought, then md
not till then, hold them up f., office 40
Yours respectful
-. G. HACKETT,
Populist.
