LANSING, Mich, Jan. 17.-An ex-

ing all politiral parties, was appoint
ed at to-day's session of the free sill
YER conference, who will carry on
the work of organization and ed

Teller, and Morgan, congratulating
them on their fight Sin the interest

of party, Michigan is with ] you

The fact that the North Carolina
senior Senator is making himself
felt and doing something is source
Of agonizing annoyance and desper-
ate rage to Democrats in this State,
He is getting more cnssing and more
abuse than any ether man who ever
held the same position from the old
North State, and the Wherefore"
from whence this dirty and malig-
nant abuse comes is the best evidence
that some hit dogs are hollering.

Senator Butler put both old parties
in hole when he told them on the
floor of the Senate few days ago
that he could pledge either side six
Peoples Party votes that would vote
to stop the issue of bonds. He went
further and said that either side
could get six votes (Which would
give to either side majority now
or any hour when they saw fit to Of
fer or try to pass .ny measure for
the relief of the American people.
Neither side can now escape respon-
sibility for want Of votes enough to
make majority.
If the Democratic papers that are
so persistently ''trying' Crying is
aiD to misrepresent the North Caro-
lima Senators, would have the COM
mon decency and fairness to print
some Of their speeches, their readers
would see what colossal faisifers
these deny papers are. But of all
things desired by this disgusting
Democratic crew, the most desired
is that these speeches shall not get
before the people. But they'll "ges

The effort of some Democratic pa

that Butler is fool is lndisputable
evidence that these papers assume
that the people are fools. This lat

The great bond syndicate has been
dissolved. This means an ending of
the scandalous secret deals. But the
bonds will be issued all the same If
something does not happen quick.
This is but little less scandalous than
the secret bond business. The men
who composed the syndicate have
still got the gold. and they will yet
get the bonds. They will not make
quite so much as they did before,
but they will make more in the long
run than the bonds will amount to. In
thirty years they will get one hund
red and twenty million dollars inter-
est on one hundred million dollars
(face) of bonds, and then the gov
eminent will have to redeem the
bonds as we'll.

Say, when you read the Congress
sional reports do you observe very
significant factq You may easily
see that Senator Butler has put that
processing silver gang in hole in
the Senate. His resolutions have
brought that body face to face with
the great issue Of the day, and it be-
gins to look as though he will make
those old buffers and dodgers show
what they mean, And now when
they can't dodge without showing
the cloven foot, they are trying to
steall Butler's thunder. Old Mills, of
Texas, and old Pugh, of Alabama,
have both introduced resolutions of
the same nature OF those introduced
by Butler and are making big speech
es on them. But it seems they are
in no hurry TO come to a vote and
make record. Do you sect

The National Executive Committee
of the Peoples Party has called the
next National cor vention to meet IN

Of the bill argues that the industrial
classes are as clearly entitled TO have
an executive department of Cabinet
rank to represent them as are the
agriculturists, and that while the
heads of the other departments may
be friendly to labor, they cannot
give questions affecting labor the
thorough consideration which sec

Allison, of Iowa; Harrison, of In

for the Republican nomination for
President. Cleveland is the only
man spoken of now with reference to
the Democratic nomination. The
old party gangs have made consid-
cradle number of nominations for
the Peoples Party. To show how
they will do and what they will do,
they recently said that Marion But
Ter was candidate. Now it Just
happens that Mr.. Butler lacks three
years of being old enough to be
President and this is fact that he
knows. But these old crows never
stop to get at facts. Guessing and
lying are plenty good for their bust
ness. They could not thrive on
truth.

THE OBSERVER A LITTLE MINED.

"Some Of our Democratic contempo-

in the lower house of Congress are vot-

Mr.. Observer you are a little mix
ed. We take pleasure in straight
ening you. When the Republican
party is in power it proceeds at once
to ls2islate against the interests of
the people and for the benefit of the
gold combine and the monopolists.
The Peoples Party fights vigorously
and votes against the wrongs COM
mitted by the Republican party.
When the Democratic party gets in
power it at once begins to serve the
same gold combine and monopolies,

people takes stand against the
wrongs committed by the Democrs-
tic party.

to oppose what is being done for the
sake Of keeping up the appearance
of two different parties and to fool
the people. Bat mark you, when
ever the party in power fails to mus
ter enough votes in It's own ranks to
be ray the people into the hands of
their enemies, then the other old
party at once comes to the rescue and
furnishes enough votes to commit
the crime.
When the Republican party want.
ed to fasten the National Banking
monopoly upon the backs of the peo-
pie, the Democratic party came for

thing else. the Republicans came for

help the Democrats commit the das-
tardly crime.

the important matters of the present

is doing is the most important. No

The people must have an. honest
and intelligent government. Their
will has for years been thwarted by
cheating at the polls, bat we hope
the last election law will put an end
to that.
But this is not all. Intelligent
and incorruptible men must be sent
to the legislature to put into the
form Of law the will of their constit-
uents. The bare suggestion that a
bill has by wilful negligence or cor
ruption been enrolled and ratified,
and thus made the law of the land,
is a disgrace to the State.
At the last Superior court of
Wake, the jury declared that in the
passage of the notorious assign
ment Act" the Chief Clerk of the
House was guilty of wilful negli-
gence, and the Chief Enrolling Clerk
guilty Of wilful and corrupt negli-
gence. If this BE- true they deserve
punishment! But if there uas cor
rupt negligence there must be other
guilty men.

which he prosecuted for the State.
But he has not gone far enough. We
suspect certain persons who

ruptlon, but we are not at present
prepared to furnish the names and
the evidence; and therefore we can
not ask him to draw and send to the
grand jury bill of indictment.
But in the name of honesty, in the
name of the right of the people to
make their own laws, zoe do insist that

vestigated by the next grand jury.
