"rHE KIND OF WHITE MANS PARTY
NEEDED"
The News and Observer, after four
weeks hesitation and squirming, has
AT last been forced to answer-but
what an answer. See how it lodges
10 the issue Of september 10Th it says ::
TIE CAUCASIAN asks: (Which kind
Of white mans party does the News
and Observer favor?"
The same kind we had in North
Carolina from 1876 to 1891 Ask us
something hard.
And this is all that it says. 1t dOd-
ges the "hard" part OF our question. In
fact, it lodges the whole question at
issue.
For the benefit Of our many readers
who have subscribed to The CAUcAs-
IAN during the past month, we will
say that four weeks ago we published
column and half editorial headed
"The Kind Of White Mans Party
Needed" in which we showed the kind
Of the white mans party that all good
men favor-one that will bring togeth-
er to elect the next legislature all OF
the good citizens of the state who are
honestly opposed to the gold standard
and to the domination of the State by
Rothschilds' railroad corporation.
We also showed that the railroad
papers and machine politicians, acting
under the order of Rothschild's cover.
seer" in North Carolina, wanted to gel
Gold Democrats and Silver Demo crats
together, the railroad Democrats and
the anti monopoly Democrats togeth-
er in the same bed, and what they cal
a straight fight with the "nigger" as
the issue. This would make a kind OF
a white mans party it is true, but a
party of the Cleveland and Ransom
stripe to serve the monOpoles and
turn over the next legislature to the
railroads, with the ultimate object OF
downing Bryan in 1900
Remember, that we set out the pOlit-
ical situation and described these two
kinds of white mems party and asked
the News and Observer which kind it
favored four weeks ago. Since that
time we have repeated the same ques-
tion in every issue of the paper, chal-
longing the News and Observer and
other papers that were yelling mig
GER" and were claiming to favor a
white mans party to answer. 1t was
almost cruel for us to ask such a ques-
ton of that paper, and We sympathiZe
with the News and Observer greatly
in its embarrassment, and therefore
delay in answering. As we have said
repeatedly, If it attempted to answer
this question it would dodge the two
pointed questions. We stated that it
could not answer without convictins
itself of being in favor of reinstatine
the Ransom Machine in power and
turning over the next legislature tc
the railroads, unless it came out bold
ly and accepted the proposition which
The CAUCASIAN made for a true white
mans party in the interest of the PEG
pie and good government.
The conscience of the editor of thai
paper has been lashing him for weeks
and we have sympathized with him il
his embarrassment. On September the
25th, the day before the News and %.
server attempted to answer, it is prob
able that something like this occurred
Some railroad attorney seeing the pre-
dicament in which THE CAUCASUS
had placed the News and Observer and
other "nigger' organs, and seeing thai
the people were beginning to demand
that they meet The CAUCAsIAN's ques
tions went to the News and Observer
and suggested: "Why don't you an
swer by saying that you are in favor
OF the kind of white mans party tina
we had from rs to '94." This was
new thought to the editor of that pa
per; great burden was lifted from
him as he saw he could attempt t,
dodge our questions, and hence he raj
to his desk and pebned his little re
ply.
There is not man who has read TIL
CAUCAsIAN's article ia favor of a whit
mans party for reform and good gov
eminent but what will smile at tn
lame and lodging reply of the New
and Observer. 1t will remind eacl
one Of the case of the ostrich tina
thought it had hid when it stuck
its head in the sand. But for tn
benefit of those, if there be such, VIII,
may think that the Observers reply
in any way pertinent, we will state tn
following facts:
From 1876 to 1894, or rather from tn
administration of Vance to that O
Russell, every governor has been a 50
called Democrat, yet every one ha
been under the influence of the railwa
corporations of the State. Does tn
News and Observer want more Gov
ernOrs Of that kind?
- From 1876 to 1894 every legislator
in North Carolina has been Democrat

1891, and we are in favor of anothe
legislature Of that kindly yet every on
of these legislatures, except the Ali
ance legislature, has BEEN domi nate,
