A Raleigh Justice of the Peace Leaves
the Party and Gives Good Reasons.

John Station, n. c..
October 10. 1898.
To the Editor: When the Populist
movement arose. | was one of that num-
Der who thought the party promised re-
lief from conditions that were burden
some. | went into the party honestly
believing that what was promised as
the purpose of the organization would
be kept ever before the people and that
we would triumph in the end. OF late
there has come a change over the party.
and it seems to me that the sole aim and
object now is for Republicans and ne
groes to get control Of the government.
With negro magistrates. negro school
committeeman controlling white schools,
and with our towns turned over to the
negroes. / cannot think of remaining
longer with the party that aids in this.
And if it were not for Populist help
this could not be in North Carolina.
/ was appointed registrar for my pro-
cinct for this election, but | cannot serve
as a Populist. when ] am not one but
am for WHITE SUPREMACY in ev-
erything. and shall work and vote
henceforth with the Democratic party
the only white mans party in this State.
Yours truly
J. w. JERNIGAN.
Mr. Jernigan was a Democrat before
he joined the Populists. Hc is n justice
of the peace, elected on the Populist
ticket. He has never sought office. but
is Il plain, honest farmer who attends
to his farm for his living, and is in no
sense a politician.

The true northerner., 1898-10-26

WHEN the bill of republican official
comes before the free silver board of Van
Buren county for precisely the same
compensation as has been customary and
which the same board has heretofore al
lowed, it is promptly cut in half; but
when a free silver nominee presents a
bill which the same board considers ex-
orbitant, it is not dealt with in that way.
Oh, no. The claimant is interviewed and
advised to reduce his bill to a more
reasonable figure, from 500 to SO as
was done with bill of Attorney a. L.
Free) which is done and thus the record
shows no cut, and gives the Courier an
opportunity to advise the people to "see
to it that silver officers are elected, thus
insuring an honest and economical e,
administration!
The true northerner., 1898-10-26

The Courier complains because the
Northerner has not commended the
board of supervisors for its work at the
recent session. We are perfectly willing
to give them credit for diligence, and also
for exhibiting the most picayunish par
tisanship of any board of supervisors of
any party that we have ever known in
Van Buren county. The board would
not have been able to finish its work in
a single week if it had not been for the
energy and industry of Clerk Buck, who
worked day and night during the session
to keep the journal up This was an
amount of service that the board could
not demand of the clerk, and he is en-
titled to credit for his willingness to aid
the board in making a short session
Will the Courier, which is so anxious to
have credit given where credit is due
give credit to Joseph S. Buck, the re-
publican nominee for reelection, as be
ing one of the most painstaking and
efficient clerks the county has ever hadI
The true northerner., 1898-10-26

THERE are few republicans in Van
Buren, county who do not like Hon. Z.
G. Phillips, republican candidate for the
legislature, and threaten to vote for the
democratic nominee. They should not
forget that United States senator is to
be chosen this year. 1t is of the utmost
Importance that the next senate be in
harmony with President Mckinley, and
the loss of a senator in Michigan might
mean the loss of the senate to the re-
publicans, and the loss of republican
representative from Van Buren county
might mean the loss of senator IN
Michigan. Republicans, vote for Z. &
Phillips. 1t is poor year to split your
ticket on legislator to vent political or
personal animosities
The true northerner., 1898-10-26

"THE administration, by its corruption
and imbeciltiy, has shown itself incapable
of successful prosecution of the war,
and for its levity, tergiversations and its
bad faith, is manifestly incapable of
negotiating an honorable peace"
This quotation has familiar look, hasn't
it? Reads like the criticisms that have
been passed on the present administra-
ton, doesn't it? You may not recollect
the exact language, but it is the same
sentiment you have read time and again
during the past weeks, and yet it has
no reference to the Cuban war; its
author, in all probability, had never heard
of William Mckinley, may not have
known that there was such a man on
earth as Russell A. Alger, and was wholly
Shafter What, then, did he have refer
ence to and whom was he so severely
criticising? Why, the foregoing extract
was written before most of the soldiers
composing the army in Cuba were born
and has reference to the civil war, wher
Abraham Lincoln was president, Edwin
NJ. Stanton secretary of war, and Genera
u. S. Grant in command of the army
The similarity between it and the crit
cisms of to-day is not wholly in senti
ment, however, but there is a similarity
of source and purpose. 1t is of demo
crat origin, an extract from the plat
form of the Maine democracy in 1864, anC
written from partisan standpoint anC
for partisan purposes only. The democra
party of 9S is repeating the history o
the democrat party of "a. The demo
cratic war platforms of the former yea
are hard to distinguish from those of tn
present time.
The true northerner., 1898-10-26

The claims committee of the board OF
in its recent session, spent
considerable time trying to find some
method of cutting the bill OF Deputy
Sheriff Wesley j. Thomas, republican
nominee for sheriff, with the evident
intention of trying to make political
capital of it in the campaign, the demo-
cratic nominee for sheriff being a mem
Der of the claims committee, and the
Courier gave expression to that side OF
the question last week. The entire
amount of the cut in Deputy Thomas
bill was in reducing the payment for his
services in work for the county from %
to $50 per day. Now we do not be-
lieve So per day is an unreasonable COM
pensation for time actually spent in the
service of the county on official business;
indeed. the democratic nominee for
sheriff. in common with all other mem
bers of the board of supervisors, was at
the very time of cutting the bill, draw
ing 50 per day for himself for services
rendered the county. Not only this, but
SO is the per diem allowed sheriffs and
deputies for years past for such services;
the popocratic board of last year, made
up of almost identically the same men
as the present one, allowed s. per day
they did not discover that it was any too
| high until the very eve of election, when
they thought there might be some polit-
ical capital in it.
The committee on claims failed to find
single illegal or unjust item in the bill
of Wesley J. Thomas. Neither the
Courier, nor anybody else, can point to a
single dishonorable act of his either in
his public or private life, and the Courier
knows it. 1t knows, also, that the same
sterling honor and integrity that has
heretofore characterized him will follow
him into the sheriff's office the first day
of January next.
AS to the bill which the supervisors
cut by allowing but half the customary
per diem, it was a matter in which Wes
ley j. Thomas had absolutely no per
sonal or financial interest, as it is wei
known that he is in the employ of the
sheriff on monthly salary.
All in all, the cutting of the per diem
bill and the sensational manner of herald
ing it all over the county, is very cheaI
piece of political work at best, and cal
scarcely lose any votes to so clean can
didate as Mr.. Thomas.

Ex-JUDGE G.. j. Pailthorp of Petoskey,
who was the democratic nominee for
regent of the university in 1890, has
come out squarely as republican, refus-
ing to accept the silver policy of the
democracy. He was very prominent
democrat, and had been prosecuting at
torney, member of the legislature and
circuit Judge. This is only one of the
many, and shows the class of men that
are now coming as converts to the re-
publican party.
The true northerner., 1898-10-26

CONGRESSMAN Jerry Simpson recently
told an audience at Kinsley, Kansas, that
if reelected he will oppose keeping the
Philippines. He criticised Dewey for not
sailing away from Manila after the bat
tie and declared that President Mckinley
is mot great, but honest and weak.
Similar sentiments were expressed by
DeLome, the Spanish ambassador, and
for giving them publicity he was sent
home with the approval of the American
people.
The true northerner., 1898-10-26

The statute provides that for such SER
vices rendered by a sheriff or deputy as
are not otherwise compensated, he shall
receive such remuneration as the board
OF supervisors may allow. Heretofore,
three dollars per day has been allowed,
but the parsemonious free silver board
cut this allowance in half for the depu-
ties, and its free silver clackers are max
ing great todo about the economy OF
such cut. The board might have been
still more economical and at the same
time kept within the letter of the law,
by allowing but fifty cents per day.
Everyone would admit that half dollar
day was not adequate compensation,
and no fair minded man, nobody but a
populist, would claim that dollar and a
half per day was fair remuneration for
official service rendered. Even free
silver board would not have fixed such a
meager rase had it not been for the idea
of making political capital
The true northerner., 1898-10-26

In the judgment of Supervisor Everest,
democratic nominee for sheriff, and the
rest of the silver board, his services as
supervisor are worth to the county -
per day-and he drewit, while the board
and committee on claims, of which he is
a member, decided that the services of
Wesley j. Thomas, republican nominee
for sheriff, are worth but 515O per day
as deputy sheriff. 1t dosn't require a
very astute politician to see the politics
in it.

The Courier says the investigating
committee of the war department is
endeavoring to "whitewash" that depart
ment. Will the Courier tell us what
object such staunch democrats as Gems
Joe Wheeler and Fitzhugh Lee could
have in assisting to "whitewashY" They
have both testified very strongly that the
armies have been well fed and well cared
for in every way.

democrats of the eastern states who have
repudiated the Chicago platform will
not be permitted to enter the next demo
cratic national convention. What is to
become of the congressman the eastern
democrats elect? Will they be barred

The true northerner., 1898-10-26

BECAUSE the testimony of those who
know don't bear out their charges of cor
ruption and blundering, the yellow jour
nails are crying Whitewash! Whitewash!!
Singular, isn't it, how eager even old line
democrats like Generals Wheeler and
Lee are to whitewash a republican ad-
ministrationY

INSTEAD of haggling about the Cuban
debt, Spain ought to thank her lucky

burse the United States in kind for the

prosecution of the war. A money indem-
nifty would be demanded under similar
circumstances by any other nation on
earth.
