JSp" Cockran on Slaveholders.
Will you submit to this conspiracy
between .the professional farmers,
the farmers who cultivate the quar
rels of their neighbors, farmers who
labor with their jaws, Populist agi
tators of the West, and the unre
conciled slave-holders of the South ?
This is a conspiracy between pro
fessional farmers, who want to pay
low wages, and the unreconciled
slave-holders, who would like to
pay no wages at all. (Extract from
. the speech of Bourke Cockran, de
livered in New York August I8tn.j
PBEICIPLE ATO PEL.
There never was a political party
in this State the leaders of which
have so trifled with the rank "and file
as the Populist party, the rank and
file of which is honest, although the
leaders are not. Two years ago they
fased with the Republicans, with
whom they had nothing in common
sive the greed of spoilsj and this year
they have done the same thing where
the grasping demands of the Repub
licans did not prevent a trade.
While pretending to be actuated by
principle, their sole inspiration has
been the spoils of office, upon which
they have kept a steady eye in
every movement they made. '
If the honest Populist could strike
hands with any other party his nat
ural ally should be the Democratic
party, to which at least eight out of
ten of the Populists of this and of
other Southern State3 j : belonged
when they changed their political
fellowship and joined the Populists,
Every leader in the party to-day was,
not j many years ago, a Democrat
and therefore ; we say that they
bad less to surrender by seeking al
liance with the Democratic party
.than with the Republican' party at
any time, but especially now when
the Democratic party, national and
State, is contending for a principle
which their party several years ago
proclaimed a cardinal principle, al
though they did not attach much im
poftance to it until the. Democratic
party made it the issue between the
Republican party, and constituted it
the main plank in its platform.; Then
the honest rank and file of the Popu
list party forced its leaders to recog
nire that declaration of the Democ
racy, and to make common cause
with it by ratifying at St, Louis that
declaration, which they did by the
nomination of Wm. J. Bryan.,
But even in that they, with a few
conspicuous and honorable excep
tlons, trifled with their following by
nominating Tom Watson for the
Vice Presidency, which they knew
would complicate matters and handi
cap the friends of Mr. Bryan in their
efforts to elect him, which was doubt-
ess their intention. If they bad
been really anxious to secure the
election of Bryan they would have
accepted the whole ticket and not
weighted Mr. Bryan by nominating.
Watson when they knew there was
no possibility ot his election and that
the only effect of nominating him
would be to prevent the thorough co
operation of the Populists with the
Democrats in the struggle for Bryan
and free.silver.
Of course they had to give some
excuse tor tuts tricey action, ana
m . . . .- a
the excuse was to "save the party;"
which was Tom Watson's reason for
accepting the nomination, and it had
about as much in it as Palmer's and
Buckner's reason has for accepting
the Indianapolis decoy nomination
namely, to "save the Democratic
party." If the leadership of the
Populist party was as honest as the
rank and file are there would be
thorough co-operation, both on the
National, Congressional and State
tickets, and we would not find them
handicaping Bryan, nor dickering
with Republicans for seats in Con
gress, nor for joint control of State
and county governments and seats
in Legislature, as they have been
doing in North Carolina.
They began this bargaining before
the Republican State Convention
met and it was only because the Re
publicans, who claimed to have the
most votes, demanded too much that
the bargaining was not closed before
the Republican Convention did its
work, but left the bars down so that
the Populist traders might come in
later. They traded on Congressmen,
on county tickets, and on the legisla
Mve ticket wherever they could
make a satisfactory deal and to day
there are so-called Populist-Republican
candidates for the Legislature
who are pledged to vote for the Re
Dublican caucus nominee for the
United States Senate to succeed
Pritchard, knowing full well that that
nominee will be a gold standard
man, and probably Pritchard, who
violated his pledges to them, and is
a candidate for re-election.
Hal Ayer, chairman of the Popu
list State committee, hopes to profit
by the dickering" by being elected to
the position of State Auditor and
therefore he has been favoring the
dickering with the Republicans and
oDDosinsr co-operation with the
-mm w
Democrats, and hence the Caucasian,
the paper which he edits,' has been
vigorously fighting the Democrats
and giving aid and comfort to the
... tur worm nopes to
profit by it and therefore the Pro-
gressive Farmer, controlled by his
chief clerk, has been giving aid and
comfort to the Republicans.
. S. Otho Wilson, Railroad Commis
sioner, hopes to profit by it and
therefore he started the Hayseeder to
help in the election of the Republi
can ticket with the Populist attach
ments. . : : L: . . '
There is not one of them who
would give the toss of a copper to
see Guthrie and Dockery elected,
although they called a convention
and went through the form of nomi
nating them. ..
What respect can honest Populists
have for a leadership which has
shown such a dickering and venal
disposition, in "which principle and
decency .were entirely lost sight ot
and ignored, and all that the traders
might win or hold places and profit
by trading on the fidelity of the
plain, honest men of their party?
They assumed and presumed too
much, for thousands of Populists
have.seen.throogh the tricky venality
that proposed to barter their votes
for pelf, and they have spurned and
repudiated It as self-respecting men
should, and the result is that thou
sands of them .have washed their
hands of the whole dirty business
and gone back - into the Democratic
party, where they found fellowship
before' they, were enticed away by the
appeals of these mercenary tricksters,
who have no more regard for pnnci
pie than a boss pirate has for the
ten commandments. '
.. They do not want Watson elected
Governor, nor Guthrie.' They prefer
Russell to either, and they prefer i
Republican Legislature with a mix
ture of Populists, for this gives them
a better chance of holding their grip
and sharing the spoils. . Honest,
thinking Populists see this, and are
therefore in many counties ; sup
porting the Democratic . ticket,
National, State and county, as the
most effective way to rebuke and
defeat it. J
TWO GOOD EEASOHS.
Dr. Richard H. Lewis, of Ttaleigh,
is well-known to many of the read
ers Of the Star ; and well-known in
Wilmington, to which he makes oc
casional professional visits. He is
gold standard man, but he is also
loyal Democrat, and gives the fol
lowing good reasons why he is sup
porting Wm. J.: Bryan for the Presi
dency of the United States, as told
by a friend of the Doctor to the
Charlotte News'." .
'I am a gold standard man. but there
are some things more important than
adherence to that standard. ' One of
these things is the keeping faith with
one's, party associates. A citizen who
goes into a caucus, convention or pri
mary to determine what issue or what
candidate shall be chosen for the party
in the campaign, is under obligation if
defeated in his desires to stand ; bv the
platform and nominees selected. ; Bat
am a Brjan man for another reason,
feel that the country can better stand
depreciated currency than it can s'.and
the eleCcion of a candidate who, what
ever his private vies may be, will owe
hit election to the great bloated trusts
and other overgrown corporations, a man
who cannot uss his . own independent
judgment, but who is already the recip
ient ci personal nenenta irom me very
people to whom he will owe his election,
it he is elected. - They paid Mr. McKin
ley's debts. His election would inaugur
ate the reign of trusts and we do not
know when that reign would end.
These are not only the utterances
of a loyal Democrat who snbordi-;
nates his individual views to the de
clarations of the duly constitnted
authority of the party to which he
professes allegiance, but of a patriot
who believes there- is - danger to
his country in the defeat of the Dem
ocratic party and In the restoration
of the Republican party to- power,
for which the Republican managers
are depending mainly (leaving out of
consideration their money) upon the
assistance of - the so-called "sound
money" Democrats who are support
ing Palmer and Buckner.
KLTHOK MKMT1U3.
Ambassador Bayard has not made
much reputation for b'mself since
his residence in London as the rep
resentative of this Government ' He
has made a number of public -addresses
to English audiences, and
while some of them were much mis
represented by the Republican or
gans in this country, for partisan
purposes, there ' was disposition
enough in all of them to pander
to British sentiment and British
pride to make him amenable to just
criticism from an American stand
point. He has recently seen fit to
write a letter in condemnation of
the Chicago platform and in sup
port of the so called Democratic
ticket , which has been put ia the
field in opposition to the nominees
ot the Chicago ' convention, which
was so thoroughly nnAmerican as
to call from the Washington Post,
an independent gold standard paper,
the following rebuke:
"The truth of the matter is that every
well informed Englishman realize the
absurdity of the stock outcries about
free silver. They understand fully that
free coinage by the United States would
be a bad thing for Great Britain, but
they are not by any means sure that it
would be a bad thing for ns. And when
they hear Mr. Bayard bleating out a lot
of stupid platitudes empty phrases
that would discredit a backwoods
spouter they naturally grieve over
shattered idol and wish that he had
been wise enough to muzzle himself for
once. Mr. Bayard does not grasp the
situation at all. He talks not like
statesman of independent thought and
broad perception, but like a lackey wb
would please his master. Any we."
trained parrot could have delive1 il
self as wiselv. There is m-a to be
aid against the free unlimited
coinage of ailver bne United States,
acting alonewuut Mr. Bavard did not
gay it. p-c was the very flunkey of aq
Jfaojg'8peCtt0a-oT1ooli8h
Asidrit"; sbrited rebuke of
this volunteer agent of the English
gold power who is firing at W.J. Bryan
at long range, the declaration by the
Post, that "every well informed Eng
lishman realizes the absurdity of the
stock outcries against free silver.
Tbey understand fully that the free
coinage of silver by the United
States would be a bad thing for
Great Britain, but they are not by
any means sure that it would be a
bad thing for us," is worthy of note
as coming from such a respectable
gold standard paper as the Post.
They fully understand that it would
be a bad thing for Great Britain,
hence they are opposed to it, and
they are not sure it would be a bad
thing for us, which U another reason
why they are opposed to it. : If they
were sure it would be a bad thing
for us they would be more disposed
to favor it, for they look upon this
country as the only commercial rival
that Great Britain has to fear. This
has been one of the contentions of
the advocates of free coinage all
along, and one of the reasons why
we advocate independent action, be
cause it will free us from British
dominion, be a bad thing for Great
Britain, as far as her commercial
supremacy goes, and a good thing
for us.
The managers of the McKinley
campaign have been working to
strengthen McKinley in the North
ana central West, by appealing to
sectional prejudice, because they
recognize the fact that the South is
solid for Wm. J. Bryan and free sil
ver. In this tbey have had the co
operation of some men who call
themselves Democrats, as Bourke
Cockran, for instance, who in his
Madison Square speech opened the
programme with his reference to
the "unreconciled slave owners of
the South." Secretary'Morton, who
has shown a superserviceable zeal in
behalf of Wall street, threw Cockran
in the shade when a few days ago in
a freak of anger he delivered himself
thus:
me uuancc wnicn tnev teacn is en
tirely Confederate fiat. In the South
ern Confederacy the same leaders who
now are in command of the picket
guaros lor iree suver at 10 to l were
leading financiers. And Harris, Pugh.
Morgan, and : the other Confederate
Generals now in command of the Bryan
campaign seem to desire to .accomnlith,
by false finance, that which tbey failed
to bring about bv arms national diS'
honor and disgrace."
Bourke Cochran and Secretary
Morton both call 1 themselves Demo
crais, me lutmcr 01 wnom wears a
McKinley tag, the latter a Palmer
ticket In this they are in accord
with the New York Press, McKinley
organ, which blows the following
blast to "the working man" of the
North: - -. . ,
"The workingman should see to it
that Bryan does not get more than 100
votes in the electoral college, and that
not one of those comes from outside of a
section already blighted by dishonor and
crime. j .
In view of the fact that Mr. Mc
Klnley blandly tells his- Southern
pilgrims," a few of whom have been
sent to him at Canton, that the sec
tional issue is happily dead, this is
nterestlng, but yet the strife-stirrers
who talk thus are appealing to.
Soothern Democrats to join with
them in the flank movement on the
Democratic party, the South's de
fender, and help them in their hypo
critical, treacherous efforts to elect
McKinley and put the Republican
party back into power.
Henry George who, as the repre-
. ... ... .
sentative ot-tne JNew xor journal,
spent five weeks in the Central Wes
tern States, studying the campaign
movement, now feels confident that
Bryan will carry the States in which
Hanna's "battle royal" Is being
fought. He didn't think so at first,
but after free intercourse with peo
ple of all classes, and observation of
public sentiment, this is his conclu
sion. ,
CURRENT COMMENT.
The New York Tribune is not
happy in its effort to make capital
against Candidate Bryan-by exploit
ing the car-coupler bilL The Dem
ocratic nominee not only voted for
that measure, but he made a strong
speech in its support. Wash. Post,

suggestion of the chairman will be
followed to a very ereat extent in

Stomach, sometimes called waterbrash,
and burning pain,, distress, nausea,
dyspepsia, are cured by Hood's Sarsa-
parilla. This it accomplishes because
with its wonderlul power as a oiooa
purifier, Hood's Sarsapanlia gently
tones and strengthens the stomach and
digestive organs, invigorates the liver,
creates an appetite, gives refreshing
sleep, and raises the health tone. In
cases of dyspepsia and indigestion it
seems to have "a magic touch."
" For over 12 years I suffered from soar
m
with severe pains across my shoulders,
nd great distress. I bad violent nausea
which would leave me very weak and
faint, difficult to get my breath. These
spells came oftener and more severe. I
did not receive any lasting benefit from

from a trial ot Hood's Bareaparilla, that I
took several bottles and mean to always
keep it in the house. I am now able to
do all my Own work, which for six years
I have been unable to do. My husband
