WBAT 1T MEANS.

Wharton Barker has announced in
ms paper that bis boiling rump con-
ventiOn, called at Cincinnati Sept. 5
to nominate him for President for the
campaign Of 1900, will be called off. 1t
seems that Mr.. Barker was very much
discouraged at the size of the follow
ing that he vas able to muster.
TIE CAUcAsIAN stated edit0rially
the first week after the bolt that if the
boiling crowd turned out to be too
small for trading purposes, then 1t
would be called off. THE CAUCASIAN
also stated editorially last week that
we were surprised that the gold syndi-
cate allowed Barker and his crowd to
bolt, because when they were out OF
the Peoples Party they would be insig-
nj ficant in numbers and would not he
able to do any further damage to the
party, and therefore could not be OF
any future help to the gold trust. II
seems that Barker and the gold trust
have taken the same view OF TIL, mat
ter, and hence the CO. ventiOn - beer
dered. They have still a purpose il
view? What is that purpose? TO pro
coed to try to disorganize further thu
Peoples Party, and to work up. if pos
sible by the time of the next Nationa
Convention, bolt that will be biz
enough to be of advantage to the golt
crowd. Let every patriot watch thes'
disorganizers. From now on they vii
be furnished with money to 90 int
the Peoples Party ranks with sheep
clothing on, and their sole purpose il
the future will be to debauch the part,
sufficiently to get up respectable Dol
at the next National Convention. Blu
every Que of them is now marked
therefore they can do little damage.

THE CAuCAsuAN's OPINION.

THx CAucAsIAN has recs large

Of the state asking what Is the best
course for the Peoples party TO pur-
sue in this campaign since the gold
bugs and railroad attorneys captured

'HE CAUCASIAN unheit,t
kers, the best course for the
II party (which is the only party
h, the State that is honestly for silver
and against monopoly domination Of
the iegislatures) is to make a straight
fight against both Of the old monopoly
ridden parties, which have proven
that they are now no better than they

For THE CAUCASIAN

anything that has ever been re-
corded. l was in favor of Offering
to cooperate with the Democrats
in order to test their sincerity, as /
thought all the while they were
goldbugs in disguise, and now they
have proven that they are. Now the
Populists should cooperate with
any voters that are willing to shoot
them next November with an ava
lanche of reform baHets into their
political grave.
Populists should be more united
than ever and listen to nothing
that the band Of hypocrites have
to say. They will be bowling "nig-
GER" they are already beginning
to say that they cannot see why
Populists can fuse with the Republi.

I say, aud defy contradiction, that
the Republicans in North Carolina
are as good friends Of silver as tina,
band of hypocrites that controlled
the last Democratic State Conven.
ton, and the Republicans are in
favor of voting in the bright sun.
light, and in favor of everybody
standing up and being counted, and
/ say further brother Populists, that
means great deal to the people o.
North Carolina. The Democrats Of
North Carolina have said, just give
them the Legislature and they will
pass an election law that will for
ever give them control. Now thai
we have got the reins of the NORTH
Carolina government out of theil
hands, I say keep it so.
Let everybody in favor of reform
be united and go to the polls anC
bury the Cleveland-Ransom gold

Nominate men for the Legislator,

The Democrats are beginning thu

No HARMONY BETWEEN THE car
CA.IAS AND TRAITORS AND MO
NOPOIY TOOLS

TIE CAUCASIAN has received an
communication purpOrt- |
ing to be written BY q Popuiist in the
Fourth CoBgr, ssiOHal District. The
burden Of the article is that The CAU-
CAsIAE ought not to any longer criti-
else the boiling Populists, but ought to
work for harmony, etc. The article
closes by saying that it will not do TO
renominate Congressman Strowd, be-
cause there are some Republicans who
would not support him. II the author
OF this article will send US his name We
will publish it. We want to know, and
we want the public to know, who the
man is who holds such views and who
claims to be a POpulist.
There never was yet traitor to his
party and his people who did not cry
"harmony" to try. to op the e1l o:ure
OF his wrong deeds and treachery
There can be no harmony between
right and wrong. A man cannot stand
with the people and ut the fame TIN
serve the gold trust and monopoly syn.
dicate. A man cannO: serve God and
mammon. The men who betrayed tn. il
party and its principles in the last
legislature and went over to the eide
Of the railroads to prevent the infa
nous midnight 99-year lease from be
ling set aside are not POpulists
They are more dangerous thar
open goldbugs. We suppose tn
man who wrote the cOmmuni
cation endorses the action of Harr,
Skinner in betraying his party ant
going over to Col. Andrews and help
ing him to defeat the anti-lease bill
There can be no har nOny between tn
CAUCAsIAN and such tools OF monopoly
We have more respect for Mar
Hanna, the head leader of the syndi
cate OF trusts, than we have for sue
traitors. A large majority Of the pee
pie are honest and they are hOnestl
l. in favor of silver and opposed to INC
nopOly. Let the Peoples Party
honest with itself and the people an
D sooner or later the majority will b
standing with US.
AS to who will be nominated in tt
4th Congressional district THE CAt
CAsIAN does not know. We will SUI
port any true Populist who is nom
mated. But if there are Republican
or Democrats who have special enmil
J. to Congressman StrOwd, what Al
3 their reasons. He has stood to b
4 party and its principles under all CT
q cumstances. and has served the poop
u in Congress as faithfully and honest
as any man who was ever sent
Washington. Is this his crime? Al
70 IL this why certain gOldbugs and m
J" pres Party Is not seeking candidat
y to satisfy or please goldbug boilers;
- certainly will not allow monopolis
