If the national democratic

poets to elect a president solely
by the vote of New York City
and the eastern states, indie
pendently of the balance of the
country, it will be all right to
nominate a single gold standard
candidate, and John @. Carlisle
will fill the bill as well as an
other; If it expects the westand
south TO have a voice in the
matter. and wants, to bury the
party beyond the hope of re-
surrection, let them adopt q
gold platform and enthrone Jno,
G. Carlisle in its centre.
As German shattered, shiver,
ed and scattered the democrats
of Maryland, John G. has en-.
tombed them in Kentucky, and
he has the ability and tenacity
of purpose to render like re
suits to the national democracy
The voice of people and press

such departure from our anci

oppression

Any man who talks to the
people or reads the papers, is
aware that the democratic party
in North Carolina is terribly
split up. Its leading organs
have sounded this for some
time and have been counseling
unison. on the fundamental prin
cipies of the party without
avail.
Nothing political is more GER
tain than a complete stampede
Of democratic forces unless they
get together quickly and
largely. Interested parties had
as well consider the matter seri.
ousIy OF submit to a knock out
in the first round.
The populist and republican
can and do get together when
ever it answers the purpose of
party ends, while the democrats
Of North Carolina, viewed from
a non partisan standpoint, ap.
pear TO be so badly flushed 1t
will take an adroit man 10 yelp
them up. Yet, no one of its
champions throws himself in
the breach to take chances Of
immolation on the party altar.
Perhaps though some statesman
of that faith Is gathering his
strength quietly-waiting for
the turbid waters TO settle ere
he launches his ark.

Ind then followed addresses by commit
ieemen from the five lines controlled by
the company.

he said TO the men it can be safely stated
that there will lie no strike. Several Of

celied, IN so far they apply to present
employees, and others satisfactorily ex-
plaincd, but new employees will be com
