OF property, brought bankruptcy
upon thousands sf business men,
bligh:ed industry, and further. i'm
poyerished the great mass of people.
1t hes placed the interests of money
among those of humanity; it has fed
organized greed with golden spoons
while the cry of the husbandman
was UNDECIDED and the sweat of the
toiler brought him no bread: it has
violated every principle that is vital
to republican institutions and every
prccept of jefferson; every doctrine
fundamental to Democracy it has
trampied into the earth. 1t should
step down and out which we are
glad to see it is rapidly doing. We
cordially invite its members who are
not allied to the money power to
join us.
We heartily invite all Republicans
vino are not in sympathy with the
money power, gold standard con-
tractionists, to come with us. And
we call their attention to the fact
that John Sherman endorses Mckin-
Icy and John Sherman also endorses
Cleveland and Carlisle. A term of
Mckinley and Sherman will be
equivalent to another term of Cleve-
lard and Carlisle.
We call attention 10 the free s!ive,
men of all parties to the fact that in
| 1892, at the first national conven-
ton of the Peoples Party, a plank
was placed in its platform demand
ing free coinage of both silver ant
gold at the ratio of l6 to | and mos
sincerely invite them to join the only
true silver party-tbe Peoples Party
We fully endorse the action of oul
State executive committee at it:
meeting in Raleigh, April 10th ant
18th, in regard to cooperation.
We fully and heartily endorse the
course of our Senator, Marion But
Ter, both in the United States Sen
ate and Us chairman of our Stat,
executive committee, and pledg,
him anew our hearty, jealous ano
active support.
We will "keep in the middle o
the road" and placing principle
above party and manhood abov
money, I'VE volunteer for the war
in the mighty contest Of the peopl
against the plutocrats.
We hereby instruct our delegate
to all the conventions to keep il
