few points ia the State OF the Lone
Star, and have heard nothing but
n gene raj approval and endorsement
Of the cooperative plan as outlined /
by Senators Butler. Jones and ex-
Congressman Towne IN the coming
election.
The free silver forces should urite /
as one man regardless of party to |
secure the election OF free silver Con
eressnen and State Legislatures. |
The cooperation should extend all |
along the line from township con-
stable up.
The money, trust and comblna-
tions of every character has fled and |
taken shelter under the Republican
party. notice a communication in
the Progressive Farmer fror Henry
Z. King, of Cumberland county, who
objects TO the cooperation OF the
silver forces, and threatens bolt
and a dash for the Republican party
"for protection. The presumption
is that Mr.. King fears rotation in
Office of himself and his Republican
Populist associates which bolted the
Populist county convention two
years ago and went soul and body
into the Republican party, assisting
and aiding 10 the election Of two
Republicans to the legislature, and
making it possible for the election of
Pritchard, a goldbug Republican,, to
the United States Senate.
Let the people notice who those
boilers were, and what their objects
were. The boilers in the legislature
sold out under the promise of office.
The bolt was for selfshness-fo
filthy lucre.
Mr.. Kings chairman of the county
/ Executive Committee of Cumber-
land county, C. C. McLellon, who
was a candidate before the Populist
county convention for the nomina-
ton of State Senator and being de-
feated bolte and was again defeat
ed for the nomination in his boiling
convention which consisted of one
third straight Republicans and the
other two-thirds semi-Populist Re-
publicans; his next jump was for
county commissioners and agar. met
his Waterloo.
Mr.. McLellon went to Raleigh to
lobby for the reelection of Pritchard
and now he is to receive for his re-
warda Deputy Collectorship in tn G
Revenue Department t, and yet he is
the Charm am CD of the county FIX.
ecutive Committee mr.. McLellon's
own township gave Mckinley large
vote aud the presumption is that he
voted for Mckinley himselfyat least
it is we'll known that he used his in
fl renee in that direction.
The result of Rspublican-Popullst
