A silver meeting. composed Of diff
fereut political parties. Was held NJ /
Halifax on the ssh inst.
Forfy-three were present, Of which /
81 were Democrats. John u. Thorne |
was made chairman of the meet |
ing and Frank Brinkiey, Dem
ocra,ic Register Of Deeds, acted as
secretary Upon request Of the chair
man, Capt. w. ii. kitchin, of Scotland
Neck, stated the object of the meeting
He said among other things that the
meeting Was called to consult about
the best means to remonetize silver.
that no man would be asked 70 break
his Iarty affiliations. but that the time
had come when the financial question
Was Of overwhelming importance,
eclipsing party and partisanship. On
motion of Z. A. Thorne, Popuiist,
committee on resolutions WAS nance
by the chair: +. J.. Travis, Democrat,
f. A. Thofne, Populist, and W. {.
Daniel, Democrat, constituted the
committee.
The following resolutions were re-
ported by the committee and were
unanimously ADOPTED:
We, the voters Of Halifax county in
conference assembled, in view OF the
disasters threatening US by the gold
conspirators, Resolve,
| /. That it is the sense of this meet
ing that the silver question is to-day
the most vital and paramount national
issue before the people of the United
States.
2. That we are literally and unalter-
ably opposed to our present financial
system, the tendency Of which is to
longest the money in the banks and
money centers; fatal to commercial
enterprises, destructive to national
progress and the best interest OF the
masses of the people.
3. That we are in favor of the re-
monetizatiOn of silver at the ratio o.
16 tO1.
4. That the policy of the government
issuing bonds in times Of peace is in
| defensibie, unconstitutional and Op
, pressive to the producing classes.
5. That in the broadcast patriotism W.

our power to elect as representative

: tives to Congress, and all national OF

A Question for Senator Pritchsrs.
For The Caucasian.
KERR. N, c., April 4.-Well, more
bonds have been issued since ] wrote
last. Some Democrats say that bond
issues do not cause US to pay any
more taxes. IL the people of the
United States do not pay the taxes,
who does pay themi We are all well
pleased with Senator Buffers course
in the Senate. He is certainly one
Of the greatest champions of the peo-
PIES cause there is in the United
States.
When read the Senator'S speech
il made me proud TO to think that he
was representing North Carolina in
the Senate. Butler and Tillman both
have the right kind Of grit. Keep
on, we are with you Senators.
Some Democrats have the impu-
dence to say that Cleveland is a man
honest in his convictions. Amy man
who will speak thus of Cleveland is
as ignorant as the Democrat we heard
OF not long since. Some men were
talking about the silver question in
the Western States. A Populist said
that the silver question was first agi-
tated in the West. This smart man
Of liking Growers band" said that
was not so, for he had been to Mt.

Blue Ridge, and it was not so there.
lie said that he did not read, for he
had been and seen for himself. This
man thought Western North Carolina
was the western States" Who can
beat this as a sample of Democratic
ignorance This shows too vel
how they are led. They are igno
