C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER, 20, 1892. NO. 2. EDITORS CHAIR. HOW THINGS LOOK FROM OUR STAND POINT. The Opinion of the Editor and TJie Opinion of Others Which we Can Endorse on the Various Topizs of tlieDay, Weaver's trip to Pulaski has thrown a boom shell into the camp of the campaign slander ers and liars. The last record of the ma chine politician is to circu late a report that there are not enough electors out in the several States to give Wea ver a majority if they were all elected. When they tell you this, laugh at them and tell them you know more about the People's party than they do. Tell them for their informa tion that electors are out for Weaver and Field in every State except South Carolina, and that we will have electors there before the election. Remember and Remind Them. The Democratic speakers are advising the Republicans to vote the Republican ticket this year. What does this mean ? Did they ever do this before? It means they have tried to get them to vote the Straightout Democratic ticket, and having failed in that they prefer for them to vote the Republican ticket to the Peo ple's party ticket. If this is so, then they would prefer to see the Republican party win than for the people to win. Remind them of this when they talk about negro domina tion and the "dark days of '68." Before the election, the machine politician will be try ing to hire some negro or in dependent to run for some county office to beat the peo ple. Remember that the Dem ocratic machine did everything it could to get the Republicans to put out a State ticket. They succeeded. When the ticket was put-out; remember that there were no happier people in the State than the Ex. Com. and the State nominees of the Democratic machine. A num ber were on -lookers at the Re publican convention, and were seen to rejoice and clap their hands in delight. When they try to frighten you with the danger of the Republicans winning, remind them of this. This is low machine politics. Will you be fooled by them ? Tell them they can't frighten you with a scare-crow of their own making. Mr. Carr as a Eeformer vs. Mr. Carr as a Politician. We heard Mr. Elias Carr, the nominee of the Democratic party for Governor, speak at Asheyille. We took notes. Among other things he said : "I have always tried to keep the Alliance reformers in har mony, with Democracy. It is true that at St. Louis in 1889 we put Government ownership of Railroads in the National demands ofnthe Alliance, but when we learned that this was 1 not in harraonytwith the par CAUCASIAN ty, we changed ownership to control at Ocala." We were sorry for Mr. Carr when he felt called upon to make such a damaging admis sion. If Mr. Carr had ever at any time made such a state ment before any Alliance meet ing he could not have been elected door keeper, and no one knows this better than he. When President of the Alli ance he taught us that it was our duty to stand by our prin ciples and demands and force some party to adopt them. -He taught that we must place principle above party. Now a party (only one) has adopted the demands of the Alliance, and Mr. Carr has turned his back upon the party and his principles and the Alliance demands, and is supporting a party that turned its back upon the Alliance and spit upon its demands. Yes, it was pitiable to see the Ex President of the Alliance ma king such an admission to win applause from an audience made up of men who had no sympathy for reform and who had fought the Alliance and opposed its every demand. Can it be that the audience had a high regard for the man after such an admission, the man they had opposed as long as he stood by the demands of the Alliance and his own teachings Mr. Carr you have clung to the name of a party, but have departed from the faith you taught ns. The peo ple have not gone back upon Mr. Carr, he has gone back on them. Sam Jones on Blear-eyed Fools. Let's talk politics for a few minutes now. There's an old politician there who says, 'I'd. die for the principles of the great Democratic party.' Oh, you bleared-eyed fool, you wouldn't know principle if you met it coming down the road with a great big red flag stick ing out. That Republican politician-is the same. If you talk about principles there is no difference between the Dem ocratic and the Republican parties. The only difference at all that you can get them to acknowledge is A DIFFERENCE ON THE TARIFF and some Republicans are for low tariff and some Democrats for high tariff. Now listen ! There ain't one voter in every fifty thousand that ever seri ously read and studied the constftution of the United States There ain't fifty men in this audience that ever read carefully and intelligently the constitution of the State of New York. There isn't one in 10,000 in this State that looked over the code of the State of New York to see what the base of the code was and what the law was. And yet you go through this country whooping, Our party will car ry us on and upward to a bet ter government and a better life.' Republican politicians tell you this, Jand all good Republicans applaud. The next day the Democrat says the very same things and the Democrats will throw up their hats and holler. And yet both men made the same speech, and while the Republican spoke the D emocra t looked on as if all bis friends were dead, and the next day he yells for the same thing the blear-eyed fool. Harnett-Reformer. i GENERAL WEAVER AT PULASKI. "Motlicr Said ffe teas a Gentle man and a Jund-Jfcarted, Brave Soldier. The Nashville Toiler sent a reported to Pulaski, Tenn., not long since for the purpose of investigating Gen. Weaver's private acts while he was sta tioned at that place. The fol lowing clipping should dispel from the minds of our people any doubt as to Mr. Weaver's character, and it is certainly enough to prove to them that it would be . absurd to attach any importance to, the lying newspaper reports concerning Mr. Weaver : "The first person interview ed was Mr. A. J. Ballentine, a prominent citizen of Pulaski and a director of the People's National Bank, at-that place. He was seen at his residence and our reporter, knowing that he was an ex-Confederate sol dier, said: " 'Mr. Ballantine, I, believe you are an ex-Confederate sol dier and a good Democrat and as such oppose the People's party.' He replied: 'Yes, sir; I am, and would do anything in my power to defeat this Third party.' "4Then, Mr. Ballentine, I guss you are the man I'm hunt ing. I want to know something about this rascal Weaver, who was stationed here during the war.' " 'Young man, if you want to hear anything in the way of abuse of Gen. Weaver never come to a Ballantine after it. As for me, I never saw Gen. Weaver, and was opposed to him during the war, and am against him now. With all that, I can never say a word against a man who protected my mother and sister "as Gen. Weaver did while he boarded with them. He knew that my mother had four sons in the Confederate army, yet he treat ed her with the greatest re spect. I was in the army at the time and know nothing about Weaver as an officer or as a gentleman. All I know that mother said he was a gentle man and a kind-hearted, brave soldier. So, you see, young man, when my mother (she has been dead two years now) tells me that this man was a nice man, it is hard for me to be lieve otherwise. I remember one morning gf ter the close of the war that she asked me to see after some papers she hadr They proved to be vouchers fo. supplies given to Weaver. I took them very reluctantly and told her she would never real ize anything on them. A few weeks later she asked me about them,jmd I confessed that I thought so little about them that I had lost them down at the store. Gen. Weaver, how ever, came to the rescue and tried to get the money for us. My brother was with the Gen eral in Congress and I .have heard him speak of Weaver often.'1 ' 'Mr. Ballantine is a loyal Southerner and a courteous gentleman, and his statements are bound to carry weight with them. ' "He then saw Mr. J as. A. P. Skillern, a son-in-law of Rev. Robt. Caldwell, who was a friend of Gen. Weaver's. Mr. Skillern had heard since that General Weaver was a hard lot. Skillern was satisfied that General Weaver was a scoundrel, but had never seen anything to bear him out, al GOOD EVTDEITCE, though he was in Pulaski dur ing the war- Mr. Skillern seem ed to be a gentleman who had not allowed his blind love for Democracy to get the better of his judgment." DEMOCRATIC CONSISTEN CY. The Democracy of the South claim in justification of their brutal treatment of Weaver that he is a South-hater; that he oppressed the people in some parts of Tennessee dur ing the war. To prove the hy pocrisy of this claim read the following record of the party upon that point. It is taken from the Southern Alliance Farmer: Did not the Democracy vote for Seymour and Blair in 1SGS! And did not Frank Blair take command of McPherson's com mand when McPherson fell at Peach Tree? Did Jnot Frank Blair command a corps under Sherman; help Sherman burn Atlanta; shell the town of Jonesboro when Hardee was evacuating it; accompany Sher man's march to the sea, and help Sherman burn South Car olina? And yet Weaver was only in the service three years, not in Sherman's campaign at all. And yet with the ashes of Atlanta and South Caro lina's desolation sticking to Frank Blair's shoe soles they gag at Weaver and have not yet puked up Blair. Does not every Georgian re member the famous order that everybody must abandon At lanta in thirty days? Did not General Blair as a corps com mander enforce that order by driving women and children from their homes and then burn their homes after they were gone? GENERAL HANCOCK. When Stanton quarrelled with Sherman because he tore up Sherman's compromise with Joe Johnson in North Caro lina, and Grant would not let him arrest R. E. Lee. Why, of course, Stanton had but lit tle use for them in his recon struction schemes, but found a Yankee of his kith and kin in General Hancock, who invad ed the South, was in every prominent battle on the Poto mac and in Virginia during the war, and he became Stan ton's reconstruction general. General Hancock sent bayonets to Georgia; arrested Joe Brown and many prominent Geor gians; run Bob Toombs out of the State; fed Jeff Davis on bread and water at Fortress Monroe. Yet when New York told the Southern Democracy to vote for General Hancock in 1880, they, with the shrieks of Georgians lying in jail and the wails of men and women begging for liberty at his head quarters ringing in their ears the innocent blood of the South upon his hands they voted for him rolled him as a sweet morsel under their ton gues, and now hold him and Frank Blair in their stomach not yet puked up. But, says the Democracy, they were under orders and had to obey. So was . Weaver. But, say they, Weaver could have re signed. Not while he was a private soldier. But Blair and Hancock could have re signed too. HORACE GREELEY, who was the god-father of the Southern hatred j the discover er of Mason and Dixon's line, and for twenty-five years pour ed forth through the columns of his New York Tribune all the abuse that tongue or pen could portray, calling the Southern people negro breed ers, negro thieves, aligarchists, blooded bigots, negro chasers, i THE CAUCASIAN. IF YOU WOULD LIKE To cosamunkatc with aIvvji tea thousajsd cf the best coantiy people in tbts section of North Carolina, then do it through the column of Tut: Caucasjak. Ko other paper in the Third Congressional Ibtrict has as iarge a circulation. accusing slave holders of the crimes of adultery, fornication, concubinage, m isc eg natio n, selling their own children, fist fighters, duelists, brogues, row dies, Jscaliawags, and rotten generally. And still, when New York said to vote for Horace Greeley, not a Demo crat in the South but swallow ed Horace; yes, gulped him down, but cannot go Werner because he is claimed to have made two speech: against the South which he never made. Ex. He Blames the Editors. Mr. R. H. W. Barker, shak ing of the editors of the Homo cratic papers through the Hickory Mercurys-ays : "I blame the editors of North Carolina for working too cheap. You lose your sleep; you wear out yourself; yon are confined and denied "the pleasures that other men have; you mouldthe sentiments of the people; you control the people in the interest of some iarty ; ypu cover up bad legislation and keep the people in the dark;you explain away nil charges against your boss or take them on yourself ; you praise the boss, often against your own conscience; you say he is sober when he is drunk ; you cover up all his shortcom ings; you say he made a ring ing speech, such as you had never heard, when you did not believe a word of it ; you change and say he is a good man when you once said he was a bad man. Not only all this, but the worst of all is, you place your soul in great danger of being doomed to death eternal. When your lords die you laud them to the skies ; say he gave largely to charitable objects, and the preacher preaches hi m to heav en when he ought to know he is in hell. The boss leaves a rich widow, that will not mar ry an editor; his children count their wealth by the million. You die and leave a dependent family to battle for an exis tence in the world; the preacher says you have done good ser vice in your party, but it is doubtful as to where you went at last. It has always been a mystery how you could be thus influenced .for so little consideration and run the risk , of so great a loss as that soul of yours, that will have to live forever in despair. Now in conclusion will say to you in all honesty, stop your abuse of the people who are sweating almost drops of blood under the burden which they , have to bear. Harrison or ' Cleveland or the moneycrats have no idea of the hardships fhat the American people have to undergo at this time. Let me say to the ople, stand firm for your rights; let not the power of the dollar or the pow ers that be in the earth or the powers that be in heli deter you or drive you from the right.
