influence We c1n have by acting
and moving together is well nigh in
calculable. We have gone through some
violent storms and met some terrific
shocks without being in the least
dazed or scattered, and il We will look
around with open eyes We can easily
see the results Of our march and ef-
forts. We can accomplish more, much
more, IL We will. A little patience and
determination are the requisites now
for great strides to further sue
cess; so even il it does appear We are
moving somewhat slow, let Us see to it
that We are not wanting in these vital
qualifications.

A WARNING! LOOKOUTM

IL we read the signs Alright, there is
one. great and seemingly spontaneous
move on foot to break into the Peoples
Party organization. The effort is
showing itself in many ways. We
warn our people to be on the watch.
The time is not far off when we must
move and vote for progress and hui
manity. We must not be scattered.
We must show bold and determined
front to everybody and every party
that FIGHTS US. ANY PARTY THAT oP-
POSES is not our friend, nor is it the
friend of our principles. Some spout
ers will be on the stump in few days
bowling about principle. Some of
them may claim to be POpulists, but
let us warn you to watch these fellows.
All the "principle" that is in them 10
the destruction of our party. Our
friends are those who help us. Our
enemies are those who fight us. Re-
member the fable of the donkeys. AS
long as they turned their heels to-
ward each other and kicked, they
only hurt themselves while the wolves
dragged them down by the throats
But when they put their HEADS TO-
eETHER and kicked, they scattered de-
struction and death among the wolves.
Let us at least have the sense of donk-
eys in this fight and KEEP OUR HEADS
TOGETHER. When we "kick" let the
kick be aimed at those who would de-
stroy us.

Republican headquarters are becom-

fects the welfare Of our laborers and

in this struggle that everys man who
has felt the pinch OF poverty and hard
times in the past sees clearly the path
Of interest and duty, and thus the Ia
borers and farmers OF the nation are
lining up solidly for Bryan and better

In spite Of the enormous amount Of

They realize that the American peo-
pie are terribly in earnest, and are de-

COLUMBIA. n. c., Oct. 2.-The voters
of Tyrell county in accord with the
financial and income planks of the
Democratic and Peoples Parties, met
yesterday in convention and nomi-
mated the following ticket: -.
c. E. Tatum, for the Legislature; T.
L. Jones, for Register of Deeds; j. D.
Cooper, for Sheriff; Joe A. Spruill, for
Treasurer and D. Alexander, j. B.
Walker, and S. E. Leigh for county
commissioners.
The committee on resolutions re-
ported as follows:
WHEREAS, We citizens of Tyrell
county, advocating the free and I'M
limited coinage of both gold and sill
yer at the time hOnOred ratio of 16 to
l, and the levying of an equitable in
come tax on the income of the rich,
that they may pay their just portion
of the taxes of the county, have met
by mutual consent in convention this
day, therefore be it
Resolred l, That we appreciate and
approve the wise, unselfis hand patri-
otto action of the Executive Commit
tees of the Peoples Party, Democratic
party and Silver party, in putting up
united electoral ticket. and thereby
concentrating the electoral vote Of
North Carolina and insuring it's be-
ing cast for Hon. William Jennings
| Bryan, the Presidential candidate for
| said parties. and the representation of
the people in their contest for their
liberties against the combined forces
of monOpolies, plutOcrats, trusts, COM
| bines, and all enemies to the mate
rial advancement and prosperity of
the country at large, and the wealth
producers especially.
| 2, That he is the only true exponent
of the cause of the common people in
the Presidential call, and we unreserv-
eddy pledge to him our earnest sup
port.
| 3, That the income tax clause of the
Peoples Party and Democratic party
platform is first and being devoted
against the accumulation of vast
wealth in the hands of few, thereby
endangering the existence of our re-
public, and subverting the liberties OF
the people, deserves and will receive
our cordial support.
4, That we condemn a system of Fl.
nance, such as is now upheld by the
Republican party, which has resulted
in the production of millionaires and
paupers, and which seeks to reduce tt
pauperism the wealth producers, and
the enrichment only of money lenders
5, In our contest against the Repub
lican party, we ask the cooperation o.
ali patriotic citizens, regardless OF
party affiliations on the national ane
county tickets.

MI. Watson Does Well.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 2i.-The fol-
lowing was given out today by the
Populists:
THE executive committee Of tbir-
teen, after consultation with NJ. C..
Rankin, of the national committee.
who met Mr.. Watson, our candidate, at
st. Louis on the 2ith, reports to our
committee that il IS the desire of Mr..
Watson that Indiana get into line at
once and divide electors on fair terms.
We also have instructions from our
national committee to the same effect,
| and we have decided To put out ten
Democrats and five POpulist electors
and certify the same as our electoral
ticket. The several committees will
| meet on next Tuesday to arrange full
details. "-Washington Post, Septem-
Der %.
The advice of Mr.. Watson to the
POpulists of Indiana TO agree with
the Democrats upon an electoral
ticket for the purpose of combining
the friends of financial reform against
the English emissaries of the single
gold standard will help the cause and
do Mr.. Watson much good. The de-
sire for victory in the contest between
the people and their enemies mani
tested by Mr.. Watson, and his advice
to the POpulists of Indiana, will do
more to raise him in the estimation of
all the people Of the United States
and particularly ell good POpulists
than all the speeches he has made
during the campaign. We rejoice
that Mr.. Watson feels that the neces-
sity of fighting the common enemy
and securing a victory without regard
to personal considerations is para.
mount in this campaign. If Mr.. Wat.
son continues to pursue this course
the rawlings of the Hanna wing of the
sO-called middle-of- the-road agitatOr.
will be as harmless "a the idle wind
We have believed from the beginning
that when Mr.WatsOn fully understood
the situation he would agree with u:
that minor considerations must be sub
Ordinated to elect Bryan and secure re
form, and that fusion upon common
electors in the several states is tn,
only possible course to aid in the con
summation of the great work

And this is all We have to say about
the Democratic candidate in the
Fourth district except this: That he
is a SAMPLE of a good Democrat, and
that all democrats" have been about
as recently converted from Cleveland
ism to free silver as Mr.. POu has. We
are slow to believe that the conversion
is genuine. We think it has been
damned into them in pretty much the
same style as Methodism was damned
by the old negro into his daughter
when she wanted to be 'Piscopalian
But when she got where the old man
could not lam her, she was Episcopal

A SAMPLE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
FOR CONGRESS-.

Mr.. f. w. Pou, of Johnston county,
is the Democratic nominee for Con-
gress in the Fourth Congressional dis
trict. He is one of the numerous cand-
idates put up against free silver Pop
bist members of Congress, for no 9TH
er purpose that we can see, than to
try to split the silver vote and thus
get goldbugs to Congress.

1t is no new story now hat the Dem
ocrats, in national convention, appro-
priated part-nearly all-of the Pop
ulist platform, and nominated a man
for the Presidency who had not voted
the Democratic ticket in four years.
They saw they had to do something
like this to keep their party from be-
ing utterly destroyed, and they
thought il they would do this, they
would destroy the Peoples Party. II
their plan had succeeded, they would
have kicked their new platform from
under them just as sure as God reigns,
and then the people would have been
in the same old false, hypocritical
fight that has been going on between
the Democratic and Republican parties
FLOR the last twenty-four years.

III Inc WIFI tHc party CHdU was IHak-
ing the fight of its life to return a
goldbug named Ransom to the U. s.
Senate as Democrat. Remember now
that all this and much more was in the
campaign of 1894. That was the
fusion" campaign. Everybody re-
members how bitter the Democracy
and Democratic press were in de-
nOuncing fusion, and the indescriba-
BILE and inexpressible lying which
both practiced against the fusionists.
Our opinion is that Mr.. Pou was one
of most severe denouncers of that Gun
holy fusion" We cannot quote any
thing that he said here along this line,
but he was in full membership with
the gang that said the worst things
and INDUCED in the most violent
abuse against the people and who
were trying to wrest and did wrest
the State from Demagogic Democratic
rule.
But while Mr.. Pou thought fusion
was an unclean thing in one way, he
did not think it was too mean or too
low to prevent his name from gong
on the "fusion" ticket. Oh no! IT
WAS ON THE FUSION TICKET. Now, it is
simply impossible to think that the
"fusiOnists" wanted to vote for Mr..
Pou 80 bad that THEY put his name on,
but it WAS THERE ALL THE SAME. Now,
how did it get there? OF course Mr..
