CARY, N. c., April G.-Let US all
give thanks9 Hallelujah! Amen! or
anything to express our great ap-
probation of the UNsELFIsH interest
unanimously displayed by the Dem
ocratic party in aiding US to run our
own politics. Even at the sacrifice
of neglecting the interests of their
"dear old party" of whose grand and
wonderful past achievements we
now see and hear nothing, we find
them SO busily engaged in planning
for OUR interests and our success
that not even a high private of the
Democratic party in the rear rank,
on the tail end of that grand organ
ization can be found, who is not

be submitted and are being submit.

them we find wanting US Populists to
fuse with Democrats to save the
State, in order to insure white su.
premacy, but in fact as this writer
thinks to reinauguratet their old dia

Populists fused in 1894 Is just abou
ready to swallow the Populist party
and destroy it forever, just as the

All of them are equally as goot
"silver men" as we are and ever
better, but we have failed to fine
any fruit on that tree-they ough
to remember the fate of the "barrel
fig tree" And if 50 be that they ar
sincere in their declarations only lie

so long bound them and ally them
selves with the avowed silver part,
of the land. Let this be the proof 0
their sincerity-otherwise We will b'

Again we find those who say, vel
