HOW THE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE DE-
CIDEO

The Populist Proposition Submitted
to tho Democrats at Their State Con-
vention-PopulIsts are Entitled to Pro-
portionate Share of Offices.
FA1soN, N. c., Sept. 26.
MR.. ED1ToR.-Having had the
opportunity of hearing few politi-
cal speeches lately, and in each case
the proposition or resolutions as
rendered by the Populist committee
were read separately and distinctly
(save the division of the ofices) to
the audiance. The question was
asked if any one of them was OBJ
jected to, not a single dissenting
voice was heard, even the most OBJ
stinate agreed to all of them, show
ing beyond doubt that the people
want them to be enacted into law.
Such being the case, is it not strange
then that the people can stand off,
being only kept back by partisan
prejudice for proof.
There is not a white man in this
State that opposes .(at hearD white
supremacy or any of the aforesaid
resolutions. Why is thisq Let US
see; conditions just now forbids, viz;
The Democratic party q mean of
course the leaders, demand that they
should control the entire govern
ment of the State. These demands
are objected to, on the part of the
Populist. On the other hand the
Populist demand their proportiona
ratio of the offices. These are OBJ
jscted to by the Democrats. Let's
20 little further. Judge Avery''
estimate of the strength of the Dem
! ocrats is about 100000. Mr.. Ay
cocks estimate of the Populist il
about 40, ,O00-both Democratic au
thority. Now, 1 ask does not iustic'
/ and right demand that the Populis
, are honestly entitled to their share 0
the Offices, especially when we al
agree, would it not have been bette
to have acted along this line con
D jointly.
q ], as an individual, will risk say
ing right here, if the resolution
relative to the railroad lease, ha
been eliminated we would hav
. a very different aspect of affairs t.
day. And further, if the politician
and the socafled agitators would jus
2 shut up and put all the above prop'
q sitions plainly before the people an
let them take the case on its merits
d they could and would render q We
Il diet that would be just and right
le all concerned. WITNESS.
