A SCHEME TO BUY THE ELECTOR-
AL VOTE OF THE STATE FOR
MCKINLEY.

It has been well known during the
entire campaign that it is the inten-
ton of Mark Hanna and his agents to
secure the electoral vote of this State
by fraud and corruption. In no other
way is it possible for Bryan ITO be de-
prived of it's vote. The masses of the
people of this State are thoroughly in
earnest in their advocacy of free silver
and do not intend to be cheated if it is
possible to prevent it. Fore warned is
fore armed. The following telegram
was received by Chairman Manly from
Mr.. Charles j. Faulkner, Chairman of
the National Democratic Congressional
Executive Committee:

State, after having left $3.50 to
consummate a deal which he
claims will give the electoral vote
to Mckinley. Investigate and be
on your guard"
This telegram is from the Chairman
of the National Congressional Execu-
tive Committee, distinguished Sena-
tor, and a gentleman of character. He
is no sensationalist, but a prudent and
wise man. We hope that every reader
of this paper will spread the news far
and wide so that there may be con-

PAID POLITICAL TRANLPs.

We have fallen upon strange times
in North Carolina. A great election is
upon us, involving the most grave is
sues of governmental and State policy.
Our people are considering this ques-
ton for decision as to how they shall
cast their votes ON next Tuesday, to
carry out by their ballots what they
think just and wise. In the midst of
this we find a pack of New York men,
to-wit A man by the name of Harris,
another Nieol, another Peckham, an
other Vinton, and others whose names
cannot be recalled, passing about from
place to place in North Carolina, say
three of them in a squad, telling our
people how to vote. What a scene!
What does this mean when North Caro-
linians are to be instructed as to the
policy of their government by the
hirelings from New York? What would
the men of the past say if they could
look down upon this-Gaston, Ora
ham, Badger, Mangum, and let us not
forget Macon and Vance, if they could
see bobbing through North Carolina
lot of paid political tramps in Nor
folk jackets, with belly bands, going
around teaching the sturdy yeomanry
of North Carolina politics and telling
them how to vote? Again, we say, what
does this mean? What does it portland?
What has become of this great old
State?
These men ought to have their guns
and dogs going over the State paying
our taxes for shooting privileges, and
in the contract demand our vote.

Chairman Jones Says Bryan has Al
ready won--Cast Your vote.

Chicamo. Ill. Oct. 20.-The follow
ing address was issued from the Dem
ocratic Congressional committee head
quarters tonight:
October, 20, 1896.
"ro the voters OF the United States:
"In the preliminary battle of the
people against the pluutocracy The
people have already won. In spite
of an expenditure of money so large
fhal the civilized world stands APPALLED,
al It's magnitude, to-day large ma
tority of the the people of the United
States are in open revolt against lac
merciless gold standard and the dom
nation ofthe county by the syndicated
wealth OF Europe and America, inter
ested in securing or preventing legis-
latiou and in controllig the execution
OF laws in their interest. All that is
necessary TO secure the registering
of the peoples will is to see that every
voter comes 10 the polls and casts an
unpurohased ballot Many Of the mil
lions collected by the syndicates have
been reserved for election day. Beaten
at every point, the last resort of mon
ey is TO buy the ballot of the voter by
purchasing his absence from the polls,
coerce his vote by intimidation. To
prevent this is possible if every pa
triot win do his duty. Every member
of a club must go to the polls early
in the morning of election day, cast
his ballot and remain there until the
polls close and the result is announced.
Take care that every voter gets to the
polls and casts his vote. Note down
the name of every voter. Let it be
known that the citizen who fails to
vote, unless prevented by extreme ill
ness, has either been purchased by
the money of the corTuptionists or is
otherwise unworthy to be called
citizen. All signs indicate the over
whelming triumph of the people and
to no organizations is more credit due
for this than to the clubs, the peoples

purposes and battling for the liberties
of the people as in the days of their
founder, the illustrious author of the

FRIDAY. q
THE NoN-PARTIsAN JUDICIARY.

Two years ago the Populist party
declared in favor of non-partisan
judiciary, and as "a result of their
declaration and efforts the Supreme
court is now composed of one Popu-
list, two Democrts, and two Republic
cans. After the convention that en-
dorsed the idea of a non-partisan ju-
dietary. the Caucasian said in its issue
of October 9th:
1.-THE Peoples party convention
enunciated a great principle at
Raleigh last week. The Judiciary
should be above party. A political
court is dangerous to the liberties
of the people and destructive of
good government. On account OF
the weakness of human nature
court of the purest and best men
all of one political party are liable
even unconsciously to lean to their
own party. The Bible not only
directs us to shun evil, but warns
us to avoid, even the appearance
of evil. 1t is not only better for
the State, but it is better for all
should be lifted out of politics.
This is a reform in the right di-
rection. The principle is right and
therefore the reform will never
go backward. ANY PARTY that
fights this principle should AND
WILL GO DOWN IN DEFEAT"
If the Caucasian is any prophet, the
Populist manipulators who are now
trying to give the Republicans the
control of the Supreme court have
arranged for their party to ''go down in
defeat" If the principle of nom
partisan Judiciary is right-and it
works well in most of the States-why
should it be abandoned in North Caro-
lima, and turned over to the Republic
can party In view of the above declar-
alton of the Caucasian, and the Demo
cratic platform, it is no wonder that
Mai. Guthrie, the Populist candidate
for Governor, advises the Populists
to voae for Justice Avery instead of
Col. Douglas, so that the Supreme
court will not be in the control of any
political party. News comes that IN
almost every precinct in the State
Populists who want no more Radical
courts, and those who believe in the
non-partisan judiciary will refuse to
vote for Douglas. They cannot vote
for him without going back on their
principles.

ANOTHER S. A. L. STORY.
Now it Goes That Hoffman, has Out
generated Gill and viii Stick.

Washington, Oct. 20-Speaking Of
recent Developments in the Seaboard
Airline fight the Evening Star says:
As the case now stands, it appears as
stated by some Of those who are on
the inside, that Gen. John Gill, who
inaugurated the movement which was
intended to Gust Mr.. r. Curzon Hoff-
mann from the presidency of the Sea-
board system, has been completely
outgenerallcd by Mr.. Louis McLane, Of
Baltimore. Although Gen. GIN con
trolls 2,700 shares OF the Seaboard
stock, he is as helpless in debating the
policy of the company or in saying
who are to occupy its executive posi-
tions as mhn who holds but one
share.
It has also come TO the surface that
the probabilities now are that Messrs.
Thomas and Ryanwho had secured an
option on some 5000 shares Of the Sea-
board stock are holding to that opinion
by only the most slender thread, so to
speak, and that their venture in get
ting the option, the time for the COM
pletion Of which has about expired,
viii cost those gentlemen or their
backers,wh are said to be the Morgan
syndicate, a very large sum of money.
1t is believed, though SO far no one
who is interested in the matted will
admit it, that the Rothsohilds, who
are the holders of an immense block of
stock of the Louisville and Nashville
stock and securities, are in commune
cation through their New York agents,
August Belmont d Co., with the prop
er parties, but not Messrs. Ryan and
Thomas, for the purchase Of the 5000
shares of stock held in trust by the
hoffman, pool.
The history of the formation of the
latter is interesting. When Mr.. Mon
cure Robinson, of Philadelphia; Mr.
Louis McLane and NJ. r. Curzon Hoff-
mann, of Baltimore, together with
Judge Leigh r. Watts, of Portsmouth,
Va, the general counsel of the Sea-
board found few days ago that Gen.
Gill had secured 2,700 shares of the
stock of the road and was doing all
he could to get enough more to give
him and his friends the control of 81
property, they set to work to COM
pass his defeat, and so far they have
been apparently fully able to secure
this end.

WHY SHOULD THEY CHANGE?

"The principle of non-partisan judi
ciary is right, and therefore the re-
form will never go backward. Any
party that fights this principle will
go down in defeat" Thus spoke the
Caucasian in October, 1894. To-day the
local manager of that paper is trying
to compel the Populists to vote to give
the Republicans control of the Supreme
Court. For what? That he himself
may get, by the grace of the Repub-
Leans, a small State office. What do
the people get? A Republican court and
an exhausted judiciary" They will
stand by what they declared in 1894.
