PUBLIC RECORD.

The public records in the Register
of Deeds Office show that the News &
Observer was placed upon the insol-
vent Taxpayers list for 1894 for the
amount of 1858 representing about
$500 Of personal property. This was
allowed by the Democratic board of
county com missioners at the May, 1895
meeting. The News and Observer
bowls great deal about its concern
for the welfare of the taxpayers of
Wake county. II it really had SO much
interest at heart for the people of
Wake county and the State, why does
not Mr.. Daniels pay the taxes - An
honest man should. Before he yells
taxpayer" again he ought to pay this
$3.50 due the State of North Carolina
and the county of Wake.
II the News and Observer is too Door
to pay its taxes, who is putting up the
money for the thousands of copies that
are now being scattered over the coun-
try? TIE CAUCASIAN believes the rail-
roads aud corporations are backing it
as they are backing Simmons and his
| machine committee to run the cam.
paign on the negro racket.

THERE MIGHT BE RETALIATION.

And now the information comes
from some points to the effect that
Democratic machine members are dis
charging employees who register for
the purpose of voting the anti-Dem0-
cratic ticket. And there is further in
formation that some men who defy
that machine and are standing for the
people are being bOycOtted in bust
ness way at the instigation of the ma
chine.
In such matters there is a point
at which patience and forbearance will
snap. The Populists are the bone and
sinew of the State. Their produce is
the basis of it's commercial existence
If they shall fail to conduct
their business through the exchange
marts of North Carolina, business will
grow weak. This is by NO
means an impossibility. Some bust
ness men who are trying the bulldoze
scheme had better realize that they are
playing with edges that can cut both
ways.
There is story to the effect that the
town of Monroe was accustomed te
handle nearly three thousand hales Of
cotton annually. Then that town per.
United such an outrage as scattering
of cheyenne pepper in hall where {
prominent Populist was billed to speak
Since that time the cotton business Of
Monroe has not much exceeded an an
nual handling of twelve hundred bales
Now, such towns as silently PERM
such outrages as are suggested above
may take warning. All political mean
ness and rascality usually originate
among the machine machinatO
in the towns. Aud the people ar
just watching that rascality now for
purpose.

LET THE "LEADERS" BE WATCHED

AA>A nN 'AGaDEnS De "AIChLO'
The leaders of the corrupt Democrat
ic machine of this State should be care
fully watched. They will, in a great
measure, be held strictly accountable
for any disturbance that MAY POSSIBLY
occur in this State by exciting some
hoodlums until they get beyond con-
troll. Already some OF the machine pa
pers, by their inflammatory utterances
and incendlary editorials, have laid
themselves liable to Indictment for
melting insurrection, rebellion etc.,
AID these are being carefully re-
corded and preserved. If nothing
comes from them in the way Ut
riot, all will end good. But the peo-
pie of North Carolina are not going to
tolerate anarchy from any source
There are now in the State officers and
executors of the law, who will see the
law executed on offenders. After the
| Sth of November there will be In the
State more officers of this character
This is something which we believe
the machinators and tools of the Dem.
ocratic machine know. and with such
knowledge, it is safe to say that all o.
its bOistervus buster. red shifting
threats to kill ETC., are only SO mncl
bullying from which nothing serious
oan come, unless it comes through /.
few hoOdlums who may be excited be
yond the point of control, and it viii
not be right to hold these poor, hood
lum fools solely responsible for thei
meanness The intelligent raseals VIII,

There are numerous incidents which
now wildly illustrate the character of
the Democratic machine in North Car
DINA. 1t is essentially party Of "per-
sousl plumber" 1t has no object on
earth except to create "soft snaps" for
a few in the matter of filing public
office. Its record clearly show this,
and il it we're to save their pluDdering
souls, the managers of that machine
could not make the record show any
thing else.
This is we'll known by oil good
citizens outside Of the towns and cit
les, but among the residents of the
the towns and cities there Is either an
astonishing ignorance Of the charac-
ter of the Democratic machine, or
there is wllful, defiant, devilish de-
termination to stand by it, no matter
how pernicious and thievish it is.
How 30 many citizens Of the towns
can be in such ignorance or hold such
intentions is beyond the comprehen-
sion of this paper.
This machine has for years been the
as ent and hacker of all corporation
and syndicate plundering and extor-
ton that have been suffered by this
State. 1t is in the same business to.
day, and no man of any sort of intel
lIgence who takes note of events, can
for an instant doubt that this same
machine is now being backed by the
influence" of the Southern Railway
System in this State.
And with such backing the machine
is now encouraging all such mean
ness and attempts at intimidation and
bnIldOzing as are shown in "rOtten eg.
ging" 0ne-armed Confederate sold
iers, organizing Red Shirt Ruffians
threats of killing prominent and in
fluential POpulists &C. &C. The Dem
Ocratic machine knows that q MAORI
ty of the voters of this State ar,
against it. These voters stand be
tween the machine and its purpose O
robbing and plundering the people
as shown by the Peoples Party Hant
Book With such an obstacle in tn
way the machine grows desperate
and it's unchanging character Of frau'
and corruption shows itself in tw
prominent ways, viz:
l. A bowling of "nigger" for tn
purpose of diverting attention fron
it's past record and future purposes.
2. Attempt to bulldoze and intlmi
date voters so that it may gain by vi
olence or lawlessness what it canno
gain by record or peace.
The people of this State will agai

The people should pledge every
candidate for the legislature to work
for and support legislation that will
give them more voice in the admins
tration Of the State government. This
can be done by the initiative and refer.
endum plan Of legislsting. Under this
plan Of direc; legislation the people can
themselves vote upon all important
measures passed by the legislature, or
they can require the legislature "a
submit certain question to . vote OF
the people. Then il any measure
passed by the legislatures does not
meet the approval Of the people 1t does

ANOTHER "RLUFF GAME"

We notice that some Democratic ma
chine papers are publishing certain
kind OF offers to bet that the Demo
Gratis will win in this State in the COM
ing election. This is just little game
of "bluff," because every bet so far pub
licly offered has "string tied to it.
We have heard Of some bets being
offered in Raleigh along this line, only
they were straightforward, and in
every case they have been greedily
taken. A prominent Democrat Z few
days ago showed fifty dollars, which be
said he wanted to bet on the Democrats
winning. 1t was covered so quick that
the aforesaid Democrat was stunned
If anybody means business in open
straightforwarward betting along this
line let him come or send to Raleigh
He will probably find all the accommo.
datiOn he wants. At least The CAV
ASIAN hears this much.

that the People Party has forced the

because this plank of the Peoples
