The News and Observer BY saying |
L cdr. Mott and the siiver 0spu BIZ
.ans, and Mr.. Butler and the Popu-
lists want to vote and act With the |
Democrats, thereby giving North
Carolina . Democratic Governor for
postsrity's sake, that they will lay
aside thsir personal feelings and OBJ
jections against u.s." II that ID not
; wasted apology. or pardon, can't
OF one. He forgsts has
party, partisan treatment Of the Pop
ulists in the last campaign, and the
rotten egging business of two and
four years ago. He forgets his par
tvs refusal to allow n poll holders in
some counties of the State and
the appointment Of ignorant, and in
some instances purchasable negroes
over M. He forgsts that this un-
Just treatment Of the Populists in the
east produced . sympathetic revolt
in the west, and his party lost nearly
every white county In the State and
got most Of its strength in the last
Legislature from these same "black"
counties; and now he il ready to for
give u for thus treating us!! II
walking back into the Democratic
party constitutes his plan Of coop
GRAFTON, believe the Populist exec
utive committee stands READY TO
R1JEoT IT - promptly as it did the
Republican proposition.
Mr.. editor, We do want co-opora-
ton Of all the silver elements, not
that We believe in the single issue Of
silver for We regard tho abolition of
tho present banking system as Of
more importance; still it is one Of our
cardinal principles; . leading, if not
tho leading issue, and somebody has
said We had better scratch first
where it seems to itch worse and
scratch other places later on. We
do want the reform and silver
forces united. The interest of hu.
manity demands it; We want no OBJ
scuratioa or straddle of the issue
this time. We want to see the gold
forces in every party brought out
from their hiding and straddling, and
the reform and silver forces on the
other side. We want principles
this time, not men, and then let the
people decide.
Mr.. B. F. Keith truly says: "It
will be the most unfortunate thing
for the cause of silver if 1.-THE Demo
cratic silverites should control al
Chicago" If they do they will
hardly control one-fourth Of the
voters of this country, and the main
reason for writing this communities
ton is to show the fallacy of any
hope for silver from that source.
THIS is one Of the last efforts-]
am fearful the last fight for consti.
tutional liberty and human right in
this country. I am willing to be
conservative and liberal and DOM
think it ought to be; still if We are tt
lose OUR name, Republicans and
Democrats must lose THEIRS, for sill
YER will never triumph under either
the Republican or Democratic ban
ner.
We admire Judge Clark, Judg,
McRae, Judge Merrimon and tn,
fearless Henry NJ. Teller in tn
west, but they, as silverites, SHOULD
drop the party handle to their names
If they have Jeffersonian and Lin
coin principles in their bosoms
Grover Cleveland and John Shermar
have got their party name and gone
This writer likes Governor Car
personally; he partially learned
the principles Of reform and ALI
aneeism from him, but could no
vote for him four years ago. Il,
was not the choice Of the conven
ton, but was put forward for . pur
pose. A repetition of that kind o
work will not catch .Populist vote
this year.
This writer, in conclusion, has beel
in the reform movement from it
inception. He is not dependent OF
any Office for living nor does b,
expect one, and these lines embed,
his feelings and sentiments, sink o
swim. J. M. CUTOHIN.
The fact that nearly every grea
