who have captured the democratic

fish, squirt inky substance around i:
to hide its true position. When hon.
est men are in control Of a party who
intend to deal honestly with the peo-

sue this cuttle-fish policy. If the
Democratic party was right on the
great and m0mentous economic ques-
lions before the people of the State,
(Which means millions of dollars, eth

would 90 on the stump and diecuss
these questions from one end of the
State to the other and arraign their
political opponents for being on the
wrong side and against the people.
They say it Is necessary for them to
get into power in order to give the
State q white mans government. If
they were right on the railroad and
monopoly question they could more
surely get into power by revealing
their positiOu on these uuestiOns than
by'howling niger or using any other
slogan of tie kind. They are playing

If the Democratic negro calamity

a certain and sure means for putting
an end to it when the same was Of
fered to them? The fact is they dared
not accept the Peoples Party PROPOSE

ed them from getting any campaign
funds from the railroads and pledge
them to stand for the people for GER

rHOMrsON-AyCoCK DEBATE.

To-day there is going on joint de-
bate at Hoods Swamp, in Wayne coun-
~, between Hon. Cyrus Thompson and
Hon. C. b. Aycock. The monopoly pa
pers charged that AycOck got the bet
ter Of Thompson in the recent joint
discussion between them at Concord.
IL is easy to charge this when the
speeches on each side are not reported
fairly. THE CAUCASIAN does not be-
lieve that Aycock got the better of
Thompson. In fact, We know that DR..
Thompson is match for any speaker
the Democratic party or any other par
ty can put up against him in this State.
Besides, DR.. Thompson has the right
side of the issue for discussion in his
favor. Therefore with his fine ability as
. campaigner, it is impossible for any
one who is supporting a party that
has betrayed Bryan and sold out to the
Clevelandites and the railroads to de-
iend the record of his party in the face
of DR.. Thompson on the stump. In
order that the people of the State may
know the exact facts about these joint
discussions and decide for themselves,
The CAUCASIAN will next week pub
lish full and accurate report of both
speeches. The CAUCASIAN will let the
people read both sides and decide for
themselves. This the Democratic pa
pers dare not do. The next issue of
TIE CAUCASIAN will tell the truth and
the whole truth, and therefore it will
be the best campaign document ever
issued, and should be read by every
