The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1898-09-29

Aheir DeVlIlry openly DecSared--Au Or
gained Band of Desps radoes and Dead
beats Moving on the State Treasury.
For THE CAUCASIAN.
There never was q more desperate
band of desperadoes and dead beats
than the little click commanded by
Simmons, Jarvis & Company. IRE
sponsible, insOlvent, living by their
wits, they have taken the job to get
the State if possible. They are in for
IN. atutf.
Jarvis. while he was Governor, wore
tue G, ar of the Richmond & Danville
Railway. This is known to all men.
W. K Cox. the man who telegraphed
to steal Robson and hold the State in
1o.5, Ope My declared to the Washing
ton Post That their purposes is to put
the Mississippi and South Carolina
election jobs upon the people of this
State. He tried to repudiate the in
terview. The reporter of the WASH
ingtOn Post comes back at him and
tells him that he did say it, and that
the interview was correctly stated.
In their platform they say they are
for just election law. This means
al election law JUST as they want it.
They mean revolution.
AycOck, tier candidate for Gov
ernOr, in 1900, declares on the stump
that If they get the legislature they
will "impeach a lot of them" This
means they will trump up any sort of
charges against the Treasurer, the
Governor, the Secretary of State. and
Judges ike Clark and Montgomery,
and such Superior Court Judges as do
not belong to allied m0nop0lies.
They hate Judge Clark worse than
they hate Governor Russell, or Ma
rion Butler or Cyrus Thompson. They
declare in their corporation sheets
be pre-judges cases that he was treat
ed right by by the K,lgo jury when
they entered upon conviction against
him and then proceeded to puG him
on trial. They say that this is just
what he has been doing to the cOrp0r-
AtiOns. That he has been entering
up condemnation in his mind against
them and then sitting in judgment
upon them. The corporation lawyers
all over the State are laughing and
joking about Clark being given dose
Of his own medicine"
Governor Russell has incurred thu
intense malignity of Simmons and Al
len and Jarvis and the gang, because
! he has broken up their jobs and inter.
fered with their schemes to get money
out of the State, and more especially
because he is not slave of the cor
pOrations and monopOlies.
They mean to disfranchse the Pop
ulists and run over them as they dit
in 1885,: and in 1894.
They mean to get majority of tn
legislature and take possession of tn
election machinery, and by this mean
make the election of 1900 a farce
and then to call convention and pu
it in the constitution that nobody shall
vote except under the orders of tn,
Democratic machine. This is jus
what they have done in Mississipp
and Louisiana.
They mean to punish the POpulist
and disgrace them and their children
They mean to get such election ma
chinery as will make it impossible TO
Marion Butler, or any other than on
Of their ring to get the vote Of singl
county for reelection to the Senate il
1900.
These are the expressed opinions G
one who understands the machine pol
ltician and his tricks, and we believ
they mean what he says.
They mean to destroy local sell
government, and to put all the powe
in their little click and rings.
The corporations are their master
=, and their masters they mean to sefv
The people are warned Of thes
things and if the people mean
RULE, they can do SO. But if the
: mean that tue corporations shall il
+ stall their attorneys and agents int
offices, why then the people may e.
pect to be RULED by them. What q
the people say? 1t is not the questio
Of "nigger dOminatiOn;" it is the que
4 ton Of Morgan and his gang. Ruin
!. with an iron hand in the affairs of o,
? State, that is the issue, and you can
hide it behind the 'nigger." 1t won
