CONTESTED ELECTION CASES.

| Another Populist is seated in the
House of Representatives House COM
mittee No. 2 has decided upon the fol-
lowing cases and will report them to
the House:
Mitchell, Republican, VS.. Walsh,
Democrat, from the Eighth District
OF New York in favor of Mitchell the
contestant; Martin, Populist, VS.. Lock
hart, Democrat, from the Sixth North
Carolina District, in favor of Martin
the contestant; Thompson, loopulist
vs.. Shaw, Democrat, from the Third
North Carolina District, in favor Of
Shaw, the sitting member.
1t will thus be seen that Hon. Chas
ID. Martin, Populist, takes the place
Of Mr.. Lockhart, Democrat, who broke
into Congress under the usual Demo
cratic methods. The CAUCASIAN cor
daily congratulates the people of the
Sixth District in thus being represent
ed by the man of their choice--and
one who, we believe, will reflect credit
on them as we'll as himself in any mat
ter with which he may have to deal
during the present term.
1t cannot be otherwise than a mat
ter of regret that DR.. Cyrus Thomp-
son, who was, without doubt, the
choice of the people of the Third Dis
trict, will not represent them. His
ability is not questioned by any bod '
of any party. We cannot yet criticise
the action of the Elections Committee
In this case, but we are at liberty to
say that it was generally conceded
that DR.. Thompson had one of the
strongest cases in all that were tested :;
and while the people of his district
must yield to the decision of the COM
mittee, they will feel that there has
been some looseness somewhere, for
they know something about the nefa-
rious methods employed to make it
appear that majority of the vote rs
supported Mr.. Shaw.

Many of the colored voters of the

that they will be disfranchised if there

ored voters shall have a chance to cast
their votes and have their votes
counted, no matter whether they vote
with US or not. The Peoples Party

SOME REPUBLICAN POLITICI ANS

| We have received a number of let
tiers asking US why we did not reply
to the contemplate, villainous attacks
which some of the Republican organs
have been making on Senator Butler
and the Peoples Party State commit
tee for the past two weeks. These
Republican pie-counter organs deserve
no more notice, and will do no more
harm than the Democratic machine
papers have done in the past. In fact,
they are suffering with exactly the
same complaint.
In 1892, when Senator Butler and
the members of the Peoples Party re-
fused to vote for British goldbug Gro
yer Cleveland, and for Governor Carr
because he supported such Tory and
enemy of the people, what happened?
Every little hungry Democratic ma
chine editor in the State began to
| pour out the walls of their wrath and
abuse on Mr.. Butler and the Peoples
Party. These newspapers did not at
tempt to show that Grover Cleveland
was patriot or true American, or
to prove by argument that the princi-
pies of the Peoples Party were wrong,
or that the members of the Peoples
Party we're inconsistent in refusing
to support such men. No, to answer
our arguments or to give the facts was
something that they did not dare to
do. They simply dealt IN villainous
and lying abuse. They called every
man who Joined the Peoples Party q
deluded crank, traitor, and a turn
coat. Why? Simply because thou

Comment on the article cannot
strengthen it, but it may be pointed
out that State need not be subject to
the conditions which a national gold
bug administration may impose, I'M
less such conditions are desired. And
If a State should decide to nullify
those conditions, in part at least, it
would not be going beyond the rights
and franchises granted by the national
Constitution.

would be met with effort at ridicule

again write the platform and name

action on the part of the national
