For THE CAUCASIAN.
WILMINGTON, n. c., May %, '9s.
The course our State Convention un-
questionably commends it's patriotic |
motives and sincerity to the intelligent |
and fair-minded masses OF the State, |
actuated by the noblest sentiment and |
directed by the wisdom inspired by the |
situation the people have drawn the
line-honest government, bimetallism,
reform against dishonest government,
monopoly, trusts, combines and gold
bugism.
What say the voters:
Shall we continue to support the in
famous Vaccinations in their system
of fin ancial and industrial slavery Fl
Shall we rivet more tightly the claims
that fetter the eomanry Of our state,
or shall we with one fell blow strike
off the shackles? There is no neutral
ground, We must take stand, the issue
| is too plain, sharp and pointed to adj

the flag of freedom, representing the
principles upon which the martyrs OF
'76 founded this republic, on the other
side stands the ensign of rich and
powerful Oligarchy that is and has
been sucking the life-blOOd Of our in
| situations since the close Of the civil
war. What shall we do? Shall we show
ourselves emissaries of, this corrupt
combine by opposing a coalition Of
our brethren against the task masters.
Shall We give the arch-enemy comfort
and support by pretending to be neu-
trail, or shall we like one great brother
hood rally to the banner that stands
for our liberty?
The crisis is upon us, We must act.
There Is no time now for partisan
prejudice or petty jealousies, the enc
my is approaching, we must meet him.
From the mountains to the seashore let
there be one song, one flag, one trium-
, plant victory.
1t would be opportune. possibly just
here, to point out to the patriots OF the
= State, some of the wiles and snares OF
:, the enemy. One of the most potent
factors of foe is his spies. These sc.
,, cret agents who precede the enemy
: proper, collect valuable information
!, locate the weak points and masked IN
the guise of friendship and sow seeds
of discOrd to disrupt their antagonist
: Too much care and too constant vi
gil cannot be had for and over this
dangerous vanguard.
