RALEIGH, \. G., June 9th, 1858.
MY DEAR SIR: The action of the
recent Democratic State Convention
IN refusing an offer Of cooperation
with the Peoples Party in order to
elect nine Silver COngressmen, coupIed
with their failure to make us a counter
proposition looking 20 the same end.
makes their position utterly indefen-
siDle before the rank and file of the
people who earnestly desire reform in
national legislation.
we should spare neither time nor
effort TO impress upon the people the
TACT That the Democratic party, not
withstanding its platform professions.
mas substantially, by its action, de-
ciared against financial reform, against
Bryan and silver, and has BETRAYED. at
the dictation Of goldbugs and monop-
oiIes, the true Democrats inside the
Democratic party; the folly of whose
lurther attempts to fight it out in
side the party" should be apparent to
an. The Peoples Party is evidently
their nlyO refuge.
VIII 1T not have the effect of empba-
siziDg our position, and of bringing
honest men everywhere to discuss the
situation as it exists and to realize
That the Peoples Party has done all
That 1T could, and that it will continue
TO 90 all that it can, in the line of fl
nancial reform, if we proceed at the
earliest possible date to hold our Cen
gressional Conventions, and decide
upon whom we will Support for Con-
gress-men sincerely in harmony with
our principles and aggressive in their
advocacy; whose defeat, if it comes,
sball be evidently chargeable to the
design of the Democratic party under
its corporate, gOldbug control?
The resolutions and proposition Of
Tered by us to the Democratic State
Convention represent the unanimous
sentiment and direction of she POpu-
list state Convention. If your people
are not fully advised as to the nature
of this proposition, and the reply
made thereto, your Central Commit.
tee would be glad to have suggestions
AS to how the matter can best be clear
ly be set before them.
AS to our Conventions for Judicial,
Legislative and county nominations,
1t would seem that these may reasona-
bly, be delayed until the people are
more at leisure.
One thing, it seems to me, should be
clearly determined, to wit that Pop
ulists should not accept nominations
at the hands of the Democratic party:
If we are not good enough to be CO.
operated with as party, upon princi-
pie, 1T would seem that no Populist,
who regards his party or respects him
self, can afford to lend hand to the
Democratic party IN its efforts to
break down our organization.
This letter is not an expression of
committee policy to bind in any way
your action, but is written as sug-
gestOn and an inquiry, for the good
of the party, which is the only hope
for the common welfare.
| shall be glad to hear from you.
