Weaver, the nominee for the Presidency of the Third partyites, is . so damaging, so indefensible, so bad, so base in fact that he will haudicap the new con glomerate dreadfully. He is such a nolent hater of the South that it would seem - as if no self-respecting white man -can think of voting for him; If " the Democrats ip Sforth Carolina who are either thinking of supporting him, or have already taken a step identifying them with the new party wijl but inform them selves of what Weaver has done, has said and is doing they cannot surely vote for such a vascillating, fickle, trading demagogue. The men of the South must stand by the South. It is no time for white men of honest? and good in- tentjo.ns, tp be running after new and dangerous dogmas in politics, ' and pursuing the phantom of suc cess by supporting such a fellow fts Weaver, the Mlignau. t is nq tme purely for men with white skins, with mothers and wives and daughters, to be identifying themselves with the eneraje and raducera. of tb,e Sp,qth with men ike Weaver who- ha ye exhausted the vocabulary Qf denunciation upon the Southern !fAjfe& and men like larrispp, Reid, Hoar, Lodge and the other bull-dossere in the Radical party, who are forcing. on the sluth- hounds of trouble and bloodshed un der the guise of a needed Force bill. We do not Bee how any deceut Southern white man can ao much, as thiufe of supporting Ger. Weaver. The South must forget all that has occurred, be blind to what is before it, be deaf to all the clamor in the North for u Force bill for the Sopth that comes up from every section and every point of the Republican party, For a boqthero. white man to turn his back upon his race, upon his section, upon the grand eld party that has done all that has been done for the good of the South, und has kept back the great waves of de struction until now that have been set in motiqn, against it by the Re publicans, would be indeed lamenta ble and inexcusable' and blind in fatuation. Have the Southern white men lost their -memories and their manhood? Have they shut their eyes to all that has taken place, "and blotted from memory the great struggle for honor, for safety, for deliverance? Are the black days all forgotten? From the bitter dayB of the Pennsylvania scoundrel and murderer, Thad Ste veus, until the present hour, there has been no more vindictive sweep ing assailant and tradncer of the whites of the South than this man Weaver. It might have been indig nantly and well written this mon-st-r Weaver, The press is reproducing from the damaging newspaper files the tomb of so many rotten and rascally poli ticians the career, the . votes, the speeches, the denunciations , of Weaver. The Washington corre spondent of the Richmond (Va.) Times on 16th inst, sent this: - " In the year 1886 and following through all the period of reconstruc tion, and even later Weaver was conspicuous , Republican stump speaker in Iowa and other Western States. His efforts, however, were mainly confined to Iowa, and from ever; stump he denounced the "rebels" and the Southern people. He could find no more offensive epithet for Northern Democrats than to term them "rebels".. He boasted that the Republicans would crush the copperhead Democracy as Grant did the "traitorous rebels" their friends, etc. Of r '1 the men who to-day pretend to hold an inde pendent position in politics no one could have been chosen more offen sive to the South and her people than Jas. B. Weaver, and if North Carolina - Democrat who are now disposed to accept this man as their leader will but wait to examine his record and : character they will no doubt reject him as unworthy of their suffrages". The record will be brought to light bo all can see it and understand it of this sectional partisan and malignant traduce r and hater of the South. "WHjSON VS. QOLDSBORO. Tfte hopt" Yesterday Wilson.

Free Coinage " with all , the earnestness of mid-campaigiL.enthus- iasm, and ae if the question v. ere a ive issue on the hustings. - And while the party of gentlemen in question wss made up of some of our most intelligent citizens, still, from "free coinage" standpoint, it was evident that they were not altogether ully posted. ' As the Atlanta Journal says, what is known as" the silver question" s possibly more imperfectly compre hended by the masses of the people than any other one of the political issues of the day. Very few people could, if called upon, give a common sense explanation of the question, and manv of the politicians who at tempt to discuss it volubly on the stump would be helpless to define it. In the interest of a clearer compre hension of the problem it may not be out of place to present a concise definition of it here. The "silver question " aow before the people of the United States is whether the mints of the govern ment shall co?n silver dollars weigh ing 412 i grains as freely as they can coin gold money. At present any owner of gold bullion can take it to the mint and have it coined into wo-and-a-half, five, ten or twenty dollar pieces, as he chooses and to any amount, Those who counted for free silver coinage, seek to secure for the holders of silver bullion the same "freedom" now enjoyed by the owners of gold bullion. The basis of the opposition to this ree coinage of silver bullion is that 412i grains of silver -are not worth now as much as they once were. That is to say, the quantity of silyei which it ia pioposed to put in the silver dollar, whose coinage is to be made free, is really worth not 100 cents, but only 66 cents. Of course, if free coinage, as pre-! sented in all the bills introduced in Congress, meant putting a dollar's worth of silver, over 500 grains, in every dollar, there could and would be no objection to it. It is no occa sion for surprise, however, that there should be very pronounced opposi tion to the coinage of 66 cents worth of silver into a dollar which is to pass for 100 cents. . It is safe to say that if the "silver question" were more clearly under stood, the free coinage minority in the Democratic party would be much smaller than it ia. But be this as it may "free coin age is not an issue in tnis campaign, and good men and true should not allow themselves to be diverted. The fight is on. It is a fight of Demoo- raoy against the Republican party a fiffht for the people against the rascals. Let's turn the rascals out. JACKSON -MINNICK. At Pock Hill, S. C, on Tuesday oi last week, July 7, 1892, Mr. D Latt Jackson, of Norfolk, Va., formerly of The Argus, and Miss Mart L.
