Every patriotic citizen should con-
graduate themselves that the great i'm

condition which confront us-kicked

placed patriotism above party, and
that the silver men, Democrats and
Populists will vote together to save
themselves and the country from inn

nation for which all good citizens de-
voutIy wished, has come, and the coun-

deferred and breathe easier, for the
goddess of reason has again assumed
command of the patriots of three par
ties in North Carolina, causing un-
ion of action in accord with their uni
ted great purpose to right the wrongs
of this long suffering people. This ac-
ton of noble North Carolinians, Dem

In voting the fusion ticket neither par

on the contrary, both of them will be
