PARKERsBURG, n. G., April IL
All Of the Democrats that l have
talked with say that they Will not
vote for any man for President who
is not free silver advocate on an
Independent free silver platform.
Now, gentlemen, if you mean just
what you say, you are no longer
Democrats of the Cleveland stripe;
but you are Democrats Of the Jeffer-
sonian kind; Democrats who put pa
triotism and principle above party;
Democrats for the good of all man
kind and not for the spoils of office.
So you will have to march out from
under the domain of Grover Cleve-
land, John Carlisle, John Sherman
and the balance of the goldbug gang.
have been reliably informed that
Mr.. B. f. Keith of Wilmington, n.
c., has written to a Democrat Of Cy-
press Greek township, asking him to
recommend a man for chairman OF
the free silver forces of Bladen
county. OF course he wanted a
| honn q r.
to procure the name of the gentle
men he wrote to, but so far Mr.. Keith
has been unable to procure his man
inside of the Democratic ranks II
Bladen county.
Now, gentlemen, if you mean tc
stand by the people instead OF the
money lords Of England and Val
street, why not show your colors by
coming to the aid OF Mr.. Keith, OF
in any other way you see fit. AL
though you fought US in the late
campaign and called US by every
name that was unpleasant, our door'
are open wide; our gates are aJar
We can not whip the goldbugs ane
drive the British from our shores
without your aid. If you will help
YOU can with US, the Peoples Party
win the fight on the third day o
next November, and all you will hav
to do is to advocate the principles o
: reform, and vote for patriot TO
President in 1896, (and him you vii
!: find on the ticket named by the pa
triots of all parties at st. hosis o.
the 22d of July next.)
F.. After this fight, if We fail, the mex
fight may be accompanied by tn
$ roar Of the cannon and the tap G
the drum.
