There were tive strorg faciiofs
in the Democratic state Convention:
one that consended that il was the
duty OF all patriots TO get tog-'h her ev-
cry man opposed to the gold standard
and monopoly rule in support of such
a candidate the other faction contend
ing that the best way 20 do was To go
lust IS far toward the demands Of the
people as il was necessary TO go for
self-preservation Of the machine, blu.
at the same time to try to harmonic
with the goldbugs and railroad Demo
Gratis, hold them in the party and ig-
more the Popuiists and try to crush
them. The latter gang won, and We
regret to say that man like Senator
Daniel, who, il was claimed, was on the
side of the patriots and true Demo-
Gratis, submitted to the scheme, either
because he was secretly with them or
else did not have the courage to take
stand.
THE CAUCASIAN was in favor OF The
Populists making cooperative hight
in Virginia il it could have been made
on honorable terms. We favored this
course in North Carolina last year,
but the plan was defeated by attorneys
of the Southern Railroad who were
and are still on the Democratic State
} COMMITTEES. 1t was no doubt attorneys
|, of this Rothschilds railroad in the
Democratic party who defeated CO.
operation in Virginia.
The Virginia Populist Committee, o.
which Gen. Joseph G. Field is chair
man, will meet in Lynchburg on Sep
TENDER 18th to decide upon action. W.
do not know what they will do, but w
believe that they will take such &C
ton as will show the people NOR
! plainly who can be trusted and WIZ
cannot. One thing is clear, the!
should stand by Capt. Cooke, thei
G nominee, to the last ditch. The Onl!
way to prevent the State government
of every State from going into tn
j hands of the railroad corporations, tn
e only way to prevent the machine AM
q Cleveland element from capturing tn
? next Democratic National Convention
: and turning down Bryan, is for tn
: Peoples party to expose such trucker
q and to arouse the manhood Of tn
true Democrats to either overthrow
r such domination or to leave part
= thus controlled and align themselve
8 with the Peoples party.
t Let the Populists of Virginia TAX
: such action a. will produce this result
q chen lhey will have advanced the pri1
q ciples of the Peoples Party and don
e their duty as patriots.

o Several subscribers, referring
TAE CAUcAslAN's recent editorials o
. the grea, miners strike and the ou
n rageous injunctions issued by the Fet
r eral courts, have written us asking
,e it could possibly be true that the Fec
it eral judges had gone so far as to pr
70 hibit the miners from holding NEE
if ings &C.
70 1t is literally true. In order tn
I'd there may be no doubt in any on
r mind about this matter, we copy tt
70 following from an order of court ma
IN recently by judge Jackson of We
Virginia:
Ill "The defendants (the strike leader
. and their associates are enjOined fro
cOngregating in, on, or about t.
es premises of the plaintiff for the p,
lis pose of inducing the employees IN So
n mines to quit and abandon tn,

" PENDANTS, their confederates a.
FL associates, are further restrained fro
DIS conducting or leading any body
at men up to or upon the premises of t
ho plaintiff for the purpose of induci
~ or causing plaintiffs EMPLOYEES to az
On or abandon work" The italics a
re- ours.
|e: The meaning of these words is u
to amistakable, and if there were a
IN doubt about their meaning the I
rs. which the coal trust has made of Il
,er Injunction removes all doubt.

Ter ately forces the miners to sign an ire
ihe clad contract not to quit work und
any circumstances, and further to
yer lew the trust to reserve ten per ce

miners are to forfeit and loose if tn

(having a moose around the neck

ng What is left FOR the poor, helpl
and outraged miners to do but
