Now the question arises: did the
Democratic State Committee know
this too, and did it deliberately declare
Tor policy that it knew Was imposs;
bic and would therefore end in defeat!
Why the Democratic Committee took
such an absurd and ridiculous position
requires no explanation in Mort Caro-
lima, but for the information OF the re-
mainder OF the country We might sta.e
that such action was taken because q
ma ority OF the Democratic State Gem
mittee as now constituted is more in
sympathy with Grover Cleveland than
they are with Mr.. Bryan. These are
the men who did not want a co-opera.
tive electoral ticket in North Caroiins
in 1896, and some OF whom tried to de-
feat such ticket after it was arranged
and thereby turn the State over to
Mckinley. These are the men who
refused the proposition of the People,
party for complete cooperation tina,
would have meant the election of line
anti-monopoly Congressman, the
election Of an anti-monopoly Sena.
tor, and the election OF an An.
Incorporation legislature. These
are the men who are responsible for
the election OF Mr.. Pritchard to the
Senate. These men DO NOT RErRxsxs1
the sentiment OF the RANK and file of the
Democratic party. They are not Dem.
ocrats In The sense that Jefferson and
jackson were. They are not only CD
posed to the wiping out of trust ano
monopoly rule; they are not only op-
posed to breaking down special privi-
leges; they are not only opposed t.
the election of a legislature that will
protect the rights OF the people against
the gOldbug Rothschild's MONOPOLY
combinations, but they are also a,
heart opposed to the free and unlim
tied coinage of silver at the ratio of le

policy. Their only hope of accomp.

hope for the people of North Carolins,
who are opposed to the DONNA alton OF
the State and country by the gold and
monopoly combine to cooperate and
restore good government, and that Is
for the masses Of the Democratic partv
to overthrow such false leaders and 4,
their next State Convention elect q
State Committee that are real Jeffer-
sOnian Democrats; committee that
wants to win a victory for the people
and for good government, and a COM
mittee that is in favor of cooperating
fairly and honestly as outlined by Mr..
Bryan to accomplish such results.
We believe that the next Democratic
State Convention in North Carolina
will have large majority OF delegates
in favor of such a policy, but here aris-
es another grave danger. The moment
that goldbugs and mOnopolists IN dis
guise and the hypocrites see the tenn
per OF the people they will change
their position and declare strongly in
favor of Mr.. Bryan's policy. They will
do this in order to be re- Ell. cted on the
committee, but when once Reelected
they will use their position aud influ
ence as they did in 1896, to bring de-
feat instead of victnry. INF wANrro
BE CAPTAINS TO SC, TILE THs HIP.
The condition that exists Ia North
Carolina is the same that exists in
probably more than majority of the
states of the Union. The people are
all right every where, but everywher.
there are false men who are aspirine
for leadership, and under whose leao.
arshlp there will be disaster and de-
feat. We are not attempting to die
tate the course of the Democratic par.
ty. We have no right to. But we are
concerned about the welfare of the ma
tion and the future prosperity of the
people. Hence we have spoken plain
~ and have pointed out clearly the
snake that lies in the pathway to VIC
tory and good government. Whatever
other parties may do, the Peoples par
~ will do its duty. If there is not
such cooperation as is necessary to
bring victory, then the people shall
know where the responsibility lies.
