North Carolina Senatorship.

RALEIGH, N. c.. Nov. 81. B.
Schntken, Populist member elect to the
legislature is here today. He says the
Popnlists will not vote to return Senator
Pritchard to the senate, because he
fayors the single gold standard, but will
vote for a free silver man. The Repub-
licans lack eighteen votes of majority
on joint ballot and cannot elect Pritch-
ard unless they can get Populist help.
The legislature will stand: Republi-
cans, 6s; Populists, So; Democrats, 43.
At least thirty of the Republican and
Populist members of the legislature
were elected by less than fifty majority
over Democrats.

The Patriots OF America.

The first pitched battle, fairly drawn
between the common people and
plutocracy, fought for many years is
now over, and plutocracy has won.
The methods used are now history. and
furnishes a page of sad reading for
every lover of liberty, and, in the
language of the immortal Lincoln,
makes one tremble for the safety of
his country. Mckinley will be presi
dent, and will live in the offices of
banks and corporations, but Bryan
lives in the hearts of the people. The
result does not reflect the will of the
people, but simply the power of
organized greed. mo question is

people governed. When national cleo

every element opposed to plutocracy
should be so tremendously united as to
present one solid front without a single
friction. This must be done by organ -

America offer the opportunity. Extra
ordinary efforts will be made to plant
the organization firmly in every county

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.-Charles D.
Lane, part owner of the Utica gold
mine, announces that he will give
William J. Bryan financial support in
his advocacy of biInetallism. The
Californian will see to it that Mr..
Bryan travelling expenses are paid and
that the living expenses of himself and
family are paid during the campaign of
education which he proposes to conduct
during the next four years. Mr.. Lane
is a very wealthy nine owner and is
amply able to take care of MIR. Bryan
and his family. He has abiding faith
in the Democratic candidate for presi-
dent and, realizing that Mr.. Bryan S
income is limited, thinks it is not fair
for him to bear the expense Of a
campaign in the interest Of silver.

THE REDWOOD GAZETTE.
BY AIKEN E. SCHMAHL.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 81. 1896.
A ADEFEAT RANKLES.

The bitterness of defeat comes to
the surface in the columns OF the last
issue of Byington's paper published
over at the Grove. Byington, as the
Populist candidate for register of
deeds, was defeated by N. w. Cobleigh
by nearly 1000 votes. This overwhelm-
ing defeat has become so bitter to the
Grove man that in his last issue he
says of Mr.. Cobleigh "that he spent
a number of days and nights in Wal
nut Grove. He was seen going in
and out of saloons" And then Mr..
Byington insinuates that Mr.. Cobleigh
paid for drinks in the saloon. Those
who know Mr.. Cobleigh will smile at
the Grove mans venom. They know
that Mr.. Cobleigh does not frequent
saloons and does not use liquor. But
in order to prove the Grove man Gin
competent, irrelevant and immaterial"
The GAZETTE has interviewed all of
the recent Republican candidates on
the subject and they stoutly affirm
that Mr.. Cobleigh never visited sa-
loon during the whole campaign. One
or more of these candidates were with
Mr.. Cobleigh all the time. The can
didate who was with him in Walnut
Grove resents the article and brands
the charge as criminal libel upon
Mr.. Cobleigh. The GAZETTE believes
that the statements of these gentle
men are quite enough. 1t merely de-
sires TO point to the fact that Mr..
Cobleigh carried Byington's home
town by vote of 43 to 80, and that
with such result Byington's wounds
are all the harder to heal Mr.. Bying-
ton also wanted to trade votes in Wal
nut Grove with Republican candi-
date in order that he might carry his
town. His proposition was rejected
and the Republican carried the town
and Mr.. Byington did not.
The Redwood gazette., 1896-12-31

The portion of the personal proper
ty tax list published elsewhere. shows
numerous instances where the county
is beaten out of just taxes. Property
is frequently listed in the names of
several members of a single family.
This gives each member a 500 ex-
emption and makes the tax very
small one. Until the legislature finds
some way of correcting this evil the
personal property tax will never be a
lust one.
