Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
KINsTON, N. c., NV. 81, 1896.
I learn that Mr. Holton, Chairman of
the Republican Executive Committee,
made a public statement to the effact
that his Committee had pledged twelve
Peoples party members of the next
legislature to vote for the nominee OF
the Republican caucus for U. 8. Sena-
tor, who would be a goldbug; that
these Populist members had been
fixed" during the campaign. This
bold statement of Mr.. Holton's, with
out giving the name of Populist mem
bers SO pledged. is a IT fl 9ctiou and an
insult to every Populist member of the
next legislature.
Now, sir, MIR. Editor, I'm a member
Of the Legislature, elected by the votes
of the Populists and Republicans of the
good old county of Lenoir, and I say
60 you and all the people of the State
that I'm not pledged to vote for a
sound money" nan for the q. s. Sen
ate; but on the contrary, I did pledge
to the people of my county, if elected,
that I would not vote for any man, who
was a goldbug, for u. S. Senator. l
stand there yet. and when Gabriel
blows his horn, Rauser, of Len0ir, will
be found voting for a . s. Senator
who will pledge himself to do all he
can to give Us free silver, Is to 1. i'll

Mr.. Ralston was asked if whisky was
a good antidote for snake bites. He
replied:
Sweet milk is superior to whisky in
any case of snake bite. Whisky IN
small doses is beneficial, but in large
quantities it depresses the hearts &C

The Methodists tell a good one on
Editor Josephus Daniels, of the Raleigh

Mr.. Daniels wrote a letter from Sails
bury to his paper, calling for a reversal
of the usual order of appointments,
and asking the Bishop to appoint DR..
W. s. Greasy to Roaring Gap, and
send the minister from the Gap to the
first church in, Winston.
One of the leading ministers met Mr..
Daniels and said: II am willing to
agree to that on one condition; that
you be sent to Elkin as editor of the
Elkin Times and let the EIkin editor go
to Raleigh to run your paper"

AS WE PREDICTED.

When it became apparent that the
Alliancemen of the single State of South
Carolina were determined in their fight
upon the tie trust, we predicted that
the ex0rbitant prices fixed for fat ties
would not be maintained during the
present season. Our judgment has
been verified. We are just as conf
dent that but for the fight waged under
Col. Duncan's leadership, we would
have been forced to pay 50 per bundle
for these ties, instead of now getting
them for eighty cents.
From 81 40 per bundle, the trust has
dropped the price under fire. to 81 Is
then to 81, and finally to 800. They
should go still lower, and will if we
maintain the same concert of action
which has brought them to the present
price.
l. is a victory of which our Alliance
should and does feel proud, and which
vindicates our State Exchange and its
management. It shows US what we
a do if we will, and is just one more
easOn why we should love and build
up our Alliances ,-Cotton Plant.

H sRNAToRSHIP.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
1t is being urged by the Republicans
that pursuant to a bargain, the Popu
lists in the Legislature are bound to
vote for Senator Pritchard. There is
no bargain that can make a Populist
bound to vote for a goldbug.
When Senator Pritchard got Popu
list votes before, he was an outspoken
silver man. Now he is an outspoken
advocate of the single gold standard.
The .. S. Senate is close. One vote
is said to be all the gold trust needs to
give it control of that body, as well as
of the House of Representatives., where
it has undoubted control, by a large
majority.
The gold trust owns the President
elect. 1t controls the Supreme Court.
1t has elected a majority of the House
of Representatives in it's interest, and
it only lacks one vote of controlling the
Senate. The North Carolina Populista
are asked to furnish the missing link
to the chain by which it proposes to
bind more securely North America to
Great Britain. The proposition is toe
monstrous to need REPUTATION. The
Populists have not agreed to barter
away their principles for a few evanes
cent spoils. W. J, PEELE
