The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1896-01-30

Col. j. S. Carr and Col T. M.
Holt have both declined in adva nee
to accept the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor. It is we'll known
that both would like to be Governor,
and if there was any chance for the
Democratic nominee to be elected,
both would no doubt be open candi-
dates. They know that the man
who accepts the Democratic nomi-
nation will be forced to support q
goldbug for President, and they
both know that no man can be elect
ed Governor who will promise this.
After the doubtful justice melted
out to Brown and Satter6eld, is it not
a roaring absurdity for Democrats
to hint at political persecution
when the official books show an act
ual ir1 egularity in the accounts of a
Democratic county superintendent
of public instruction. e.
The head lines of our report of the
National Silver Conference makes
it appear that a national silver con-
vention is called at St. Louis on
July 7th. This should be "July 22'
the same date of the national Peo-
pies Party convention.

1T IS FUNNY! VERY FUNNYl!

For the past two years the Demo-
cratic press has invoked the full Ca
pacity of every possible combination
of the English language to denounce
the "fusion" ,or "co-operation" be-
tween Populists and Republicans.
They could see nothing in "fusion'
of any kind but a scheme to take
away the spoils from the Democratic
party. They raved, they snorted,
they shrieked, they growled, they
tore their hair, they "cussed" and
they lied until their vast capacity
along this line was exhausted. They
stand condemned to-day, by legisla-
tive resolution, as a collective col
uminator and lara resolution
passed by the Representatives elect.

"TAKEN FROM THE ENEMY"

The following is translation Of part Of

November. 1876. by N. Edw Eavre-Perret.
the chief Commissioner in the Swiss
department and member Of the International
Jury on matches at the Centennial
Exhibition at Philadelphia, and is worthy
the attention Of every good American.
"Gentlemen, here is what have seen.
asked from the manager of the
Watham Company a watch of certain
quality. He opened before me big
chest. picked out watch at random
and fixed it to my chain. The manager
asked me to leave the watch with them
for three or four days that they might
regulate it. On the contrary, | said
to him, want to keep it just as it is
to get an exact idea of your workmanship
On arriving at Locle showed this
watch to one of our first adjusters
who took it apart. At the end of
several days he came to me and said
literally: Il am ast0nished; the result
is incredible. You do not find a watch
to compare with that in $4,000 of
our make This watch. repeat to you,
gentlemen, myself took offhand from
large number, as have said. One can
understand by this example how it is
that an American watch should be
preferred to Swiss watch"
