The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1896-06-18

Now, the question arises, is not
this power dangerousi Is it not
menace to the people and to the
country' The people have unwit-
tingly voted this power into tho
hands of a few men because they
listened to demagogues and scoun-
drels and "voted for party" Should
not the people make one grand effort
to take the power away from these
people while it can be taken away
by BALLOT Is it quite possible that
if that power shall be undisturbed
for another four years, it could not
be removed except by bullet, and
possibly not by that method. As to
this question the great people only
can decide.

We just want to Gail your attention
to fantastic fact. Last year the Dem
ocratic party of Kentucky adopted a
gold standard platform and then tried
to elect free silver man named Har-
din for Governor. The Democrats
were beaten. The Republicans won
the State. About two weeks ago an
other Democratic convention was
held in Kentucky, and remembering
the beating they got on a gold plat
form, adopted a ringing, straightout
silver platform and declared in favor
of ab0lishing the banking system.
They actually Kissed the gold platform
they had adopted the year before, and
hOoted the names of Cleveland and
Carlisle. The Dems will try any
scheme-swallOw anything for office
and then when in Office will betray
the people to the highest bidder every
time. They have done this for four
years aud will do it four years more if
they can get 1.-The chance"

"No," he said, IL think not. The
Democrats would probably think it
a trap laid by the Populists and
might not enter into the plan. It
would be q surrendering of their au-
tonomy and that. they would not be
willing to do.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1896-06-18

But Great Scott! When the Popu-
lists came for the purpose of effect
ing this union, they found that the
Democrats had fed from and absn-
doned the convention which they
had themselves called, and but for
ths fact that the Populists had come
