" when it thinks df the arffcrl fact that there are some newspapers invdrth Carolina that are guilty of the heinous crime of pub lishing matter 'in their columns against its pet seheme'of the fjfee and unlimited coinage of silver at 1G to 1. The Cau " casian is the proper "paper to talk of honor and toj accuse! other pap era of being "smirched apd dishonored." This papr goes into a fit every time it sees a line of the souqd money matter prepared by the sound .money men of the Sound Money Ghfb of 52 William street of New York, $nd publishes the names of the papers n the State that have ''blackened theil names" "by pub- lisning matte not prepared- in their offices. . j . ; If the Caucasian jvej e the only paper in the State, that is endeaoring to choke off all sound money Utertuie.and prescribe ', to the sound money Aapers what they thall or j shall inot publish, the matter L. - would .- receive no affcenlion from us. But here comes the )harlotte News, a to make the public believe the contrary. ... . .. ' ' . GA Since the above was wnueu wo uuu v the following in yesterday's Charlotte , 'convention is taking Observer bearing ou this matter : ' jdajt. , SOUTHERN NEWS MOTES. STATE NEWS. V 'Thereis a good deal of reflection up on the newspapers which use these sound money broadsides. The case in a nut shell Is this: life Reform Club is com mitted to the doctrine of sound money; certain newspapers are fighting that bat tle and the Reform Club offers to neip them-by furnishing them, free, sound money supplements to be folded in and circulated j with their regular issues. The whole transaction is open, above board and perfectly ; ligitimate. These broadsides have never been offered the Observer, but we want to go on record as saying that if they were and if tne sentiments they enunciate were such as we approve, we would circulate them with the Observer without the slightest hesitation. During the last presidential campaign the national Democratic com mittee was good enough to send . the Observer, from time to time, cuts and reading matter " designed to advance the cause for which we were -doing our little i besfr--the success of tha Dem ocratic ticket and they were used with delight, as valuable auxiliaries to the paper's efforts. The sending - out of ihese sound money broadsides is on the same line and altogether as legitimate. We have never read one of them; but are prepared to say that they are being circulated in North Carolina by editors, some of whom in all qualities of dignit; and honor-and self-respect -can stand comparisonwith any of their -critics."
