THE V'RGNIA BOSSES AND SENATOR DAN EL The gold bug administration ma chine bosses of Virginia have been puzzled to know how to treat Sena tor Daniel. Smie were in favor of snubbing and ignoring him while other thought it was jadicy to j.at him on the back. The decision was that they must put up with him in order to try to keep the party to gether. Hut some of the small fry papers have not yet been brought into line. They are Baying that the State Committee should not make any aptfoiutments for him or allow him to speak iu the campaign. The Richmond Disjmtch is trying to help the Ifosses patch things up. It says : "To attempt to silence Mr. Daniel, as has been suggested, would be in sensate folly. Such speeches' as he makes will rather benefit than in jure the I 'emocratic party. We do not think it can be doubted that he did more iu the greenback days to preserve the unity of the Democratic party than any other one man. And what will it profit us to put the con trol of the Federal government into the hands of a party that has made up its mind to abolish by law the Democratic party in the Southern States? Are not the daily develop ments in the national House of Re presentatives convincing arguments in favor of the sinking of all minor issues and the indissoluble union of the Democrats in behalf of the prin ciples upon which this, the noblest governmental fabric which has ever blessed the world, was founded by the fathers of the republic? Let John W. Daniel speak where he will, if he is wrong, he is wrong in good company. We are willing to let him say whatever he will on any question which is now before the people. Surely the Democrats of Virginia are too wise to invite defeat by elevating tempor ary issues above permanent ones." The above shows how wanting in principle or regard for the interests of the people the Democratic bosses are. What are the "temporary side issues" that they are opjiosed to elevating iu a campaign ? The fi nancial question. What is the great permanent question that must be considered even before finance. It is the success of the machine which means that the bosses will hold the offices and let the people shift for themselves. That is the great perm anent question. Yes they say, let Senator Daniel speak, for he will keep the silver men from leaving the gold bug machine. Yes they say, don't you remember how we worked the same game before. We got him to go out ou the stump advocating greenbacks. Y e got the green backers to vote the Democratic ticket, and then we paid no further attention to greenbacks." We are astonished that Senator Daniels will allow himself to be made a cat's paw of this way. Why will he help the machine to fool the people ? We don't believe Senator Vance will attempt to do this in North Carolina. NO COMPROMISE WITH THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE. When the goldbugs and monopo list can score a point against the people they always do it uncondi tionally and uncompromisingly With a heart as cold as an iceberg and as cruel as a serpent, they ask no quarter and giye none. When they fail iu their cold and heartless desigp,then they begin to say through the partisan paper that they own that there ought to be a compromise, but the compromise is always in their favor; that is, when they can not rob the people of a whole loaf they suggest to the people's represen- i.u... ai n. .i ti,m taiives. mat tuey anuncu to . , rob the people of a half loaf this time. This is now the game that is going on in Congress. They are talking of compromise. Why com promise when you are right? A patriot placed on guard will never give an inch to the enemies of the people. Let every friend of the people say to Mr. Cleveland and his goldbug advisers and backers, that we will not move an inch; we are here defending the rights of the people, we demand justice and will take nothing less. It is not only foolish, but it is the act of a traitor for a man who is placed on guard to give up what we have unless some thing better can be gotten, and that is not the kind of compromise the zoldbngs wact. Watch every man who favors a compromise in this fight between the people and the money devil. Eternal vigilence is the price of liberty. THE REMEDY THE ALLIANCE DEMANDS THE OLD AND THE NEW. The old Democracy was opposed to National Banks and internal Rev enue, and demanded the free coinage of slyer. Modern Democracy is own ed bv the Banks, has fastened Internal Revenue upon the country permanently, and has deelareo for rold monometalism. Virginia Sun. (tO. THE H'CKCRY MEET NG We have not received a report yet from the big reform meeting held at Hickory on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, but we are sure that there wete an immense eiowd pres ent, and that Col. Skinner, who was present, made a tine impression and did much good. We regret very much that we failed to get there ac cording to promise and anounee nient. There in a five o'clock mixed train leaving Goldsboro every after noon going West; we very often go on this train, and thin time ligured out the schedule so that we could reach Hickory in time by taking this train. But to our astonishment when we went down to take this train for Hickory, w-were informed by the conductor that he had received or ders not take passengers on this train any more. We telegraphed to headquarters for special permission (th conductor kindly waited a few moments for the answer to come) mt the privilege was denied us. A passenger coach wa attached to the freight car, we stood and saw the train leave but eould not go on it. We had seen no notice published of such a charge of accommodation. Bv changing the schedule of this same train from seven o'clock up to five o'clock, we failed to get to Thomas- ville in July. It is the duty of the railroad commission to see that these changes jn schedule and ac commodation are not made without due notice, aud not made at all if the public is inconvenienced thereby. and the travel justifies and warrants sufficient aud better accommodation. BRUNSWICK AND COLUMBUS Last week we visited these two counties. In Brunswick we address ed a large audience. The Populist party carried that county in the last election by several hundred majority and the party is growing daily. We understand that the rank and file of the Democratic party there condemn the high handed and corrupt meth ods of the machine there last fall. Our readers will remember ihe rape of the ballot there last fall. When, ; carrying out all ot the tricks of Simmons' according to instruction, they were unable to over-come the majority of the Populists, they had the returning board to discover that the paper on which the ballots was printed was not white. It was the same paper that all the Populist tickets were printed on that were printed at headquarters in Raleigh. The majority of the Populists in Brunswick wi'l be larger next time than it was last. The same fraud can not be committed again. The people irrespective of party will not tolerate it. COLUMBUS COUNTY. While the Democratic ticket car ried Columbus last fall it can never do it again. The cause of the revolt against the party is the record of the last legislature and the record that congress i3 now making. Besides the domination of the court house ring there is being resented by the people. We addressed a 1 irge crowd iu Whiteville. There is abundant evidence that the Reform cause is gaining fast. Our experience in these two counties simply confirms the information that we are receiv iug daily through the mail from ev ery quarter of the State. AN OBJECT LESSON. The right which the friends of sil ver are now making in the United States Senate to prevent the erold bug majority from sacrificing the interest of the people is a fine object lesson. The man who has heard so long that a Republican Congress had passed all of the bad laws that we are suffering from, and that a Demo cratic minority was powerless to prevent it, will now ask himself why tne Democrats could not have em ployed the same tactics then on be half of the people that the friends of silver are now using to thwart the plans of the monopolists and scheem ers. All intlligent people will know that we state simply a fact when we say that very little of the bad leg islation that is now cursing the country could have ever gotten on the statute books, if those Congress men who claim that they were op posed to it, had tried to prevent it.

C ( Nelsjn,' (irove -ity, Ohio Hear Sir: Your favor of the 7th inst is received. I AM A I-OeULlKT. You inquire if I am a Populist. My answer is that I am. There is no other party in which a true friend of the people can be useful. The democratic and republican leaders have both been betrayed by their leaders. I became thoroughly con-i vinced that Mr. Harrison and Mr. i Cleveland were both nominated by the money power as soon as those nominations were made and their platforms published. HAKKISON AN1 'I,EVEI.AN1 HOTH iOLIHlU.s. , I was a candidate for re-election j to the Senate of the United States from the Htate of Neyada. I could not afford to deceive the people who had honored me so much by asking are-election as a republican. On my return home from Washington, I informed my constituents that 1 could not support the Republican nominee for president and that the Democratic nominee was no better than the Republican; that they both belonged to and were representatives of the bondholding gold monopoly of London and New York, and that if either of them were elected the power of the administration would be used to aid concentrated capital to absorb the earning of the people, augment the power of the oligarchy of wealth and reduce the masse to dependence and want, ELECTED AS A POPULIST. I canvassed the state of Nevada, aud advised the people to vote for Weaver and Field, the nominees of the Omaha convention, as the only true representatives of the people's rights. The platform of the Omaha convention demanded the free and unlimited coinage of silver, and the delegates who composed that con vention were honest, earnest men, and meant what they said. The people of Nevada without regard to former political affiliations, belieyed as I did, and cast more than two- thirds of their votes for Weaver and Field, elected Francis G. Newlands, the free coinage cndidate for Con gress by a still larger majority. They also elected every member of both houses of the legislature pledged to the retoration of silver, When the legislature meet I was re-elected to the Senate of the United States by a unanimous vote in each house. DEMAGOGUES ON THE STUMP My statement that which eyer was elected, Mr. Harrison or Mr. Cleve land, he would use the patronage of the presidential office to destroy one half of the metallic money of the world, was vehemently denied by the friends of both. Truth of my statement has heen verified. The President united with the banks and bondhoders to alarm the people as to the soundness of the money of the government, and created a panic. The subsidized press of all the com mercial centers was made to declare that the people demanded the im mediate repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. Silver was clandestinely demone tized by the mint act of 1873, since which time an overwhelming ma jority of the people of the United States have been in favor of the restoration of the white metal to the place it had occupied for thousands of yenrs as a money metal previous to the crime of 1893. No party, state or national dare go before the people, soliciting their suffrages upon a declaration justifying or even palliating that crime, but all parties claimed to be bimetallists and m favor of the use of silver equally with gold. DEMOCRATS BEFORE AUD AFTER. Some recognition of silver was obtained by the legislation of con gress against vetoes, federal patro nage and the influence of money. The Bland act, requiring not less than $2,000,000 nor more than H, 000, 000 of silver bullion per month for coinage, was the first: the so. called Sherman act, requiring the purchase of 4,500,000 ounces of sil ver bullion per month, by the issu ance of legal tender treasury notes was the second. At every congress since silver was demonetized a vast majority of the democrats in each house were in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver passed the senate during garrison's admin istration. The first was passed JEune 17, 1890,; the second, January 14, (Continued on Second Page.) iP 'I'll!' 'iMi-iv ....

The masses have allied themselves with the People's party, and are as bold and outspoken ou the subject as we are right here in Colorado. Our Republican friends say, "Let us tight it out on the party line." A year ago the Democratic party was broken in two in Colorado over this question. Campaign orators grew loud m attempting to demon strate that one or the other of the two old parties was the best friend of silver. For twenty years the peo ple of the mining States have been catspaws to the old parties, and have danced to their music. You know how they did. Every four years the Democrats met and declared on the free coinage of silver. Then the Republicans would meet to denounce the Democratic party and declare they would do better on that subject than their enemy. For three years and nine months the Republicans aud Democrats of Colorado have been most earnest free coinage men, but the other three mouths they were engaged in forwarding the schemes of the money-power. PARTY INFLUENCE ON SILVER. In explaining the reason w hy he had quit the Democratic. party, Mr. Patterson said he had observed tnat iu a State where there was no Peo ple's party there are no free coinage votes in Congress. He observed that wherever there yvas a strong People's party organization there yvas a senti ment in favor of the people and in oposition to Mr. Cleveland. Talk ing with well-informed persons in Washington, it became apparent that Democratic Senators aud members as a rule would gladly put the ques tion of coinage out of the politics of their State. If there was no People's party in the State the ques tion of silver would be eliminated from politices. Continuing Mr. Patterson said: Men are pretty nearly the same the world over. They love to bask in the sunshine of power. It is a pleasant business for a member of Congress to go to the President or Secretary of the Treasury and name a friend to fill a position in the gift of those men. You would not find the magnificent fight now being made by Senators Stewart and Tel ler if it were not for the Populist party, f Cheer. VIRGINIA AN1 IOWA.

One of the saddest features about this great tinancial depression is that it is likely to cause a serious deficit in the preachers' salaries and the collections for miss'on and other church and benevolent interestf. In very many cases such deficit could be entirely obviated by due dil ligence on the part of church oflici- als. Ju the cases where deficits may be found entirely unavoidable, they could l-e greatly lessened by the same means. The danger lies in a panic caused by the panic. A panic in cnurcn nuances is to be avoided The Methodist. We clip the above heading and all r i irom a cnurcn paper. Jt seems to us that true religion, the spirit of Christ should make the churches and ministers in favor of reform before the church finances suffered When a church acts that way it is taking exactly the same position as the remainder of the cold, cruel and aemaii unsiness worm everyone for himself and the devil take the hindermost. Our eye has also just fallen on the folloyving editorial in the Paleij Christian Advocate: "You hear on every baud the cry of hard times, but jieople dress as line as ever, the trains are full o people traveling, the World's Fair is taking thousands of dollars from the people, men and women everywhere are indulging m all kinds of lux uries. In fact, about the best evid ence of hard times you see is in the failure of many men to pav their honest debts. A little selfdenial and a little lopping off of needless lux uries would soon make times easier."

Hlaiue was his remarkable memory for names and faces. It is said that Mr. Hlaiue eould recall the face and name of persons lie had met only casually ten years aud more after the first mvetil'ff, not having encoun tered llieiu in the interval. In regard to bad memories., an amusing incident happened at the White House not many weeks ago, if the reports are truthful. A clergy man was presented to Mr. Cleveland, and as the President extended his hand, the reverend gentleman blush ed slightly, and leaning forward, whispered to the President, "Ah what name, please?" It was, doubtless, nervousness at tendant upon personal contact with a man holding so high au official position slu Mr. Cleveland's that diove the name out of the unhappy clergyman's mind. At any rate, it was not ao bad a lapse as another ease that is recorded. What it. wan tnai eauseo ttie loss ol memory in . I t . i the hero of the following anecdote it is hard to state. Certainly, Fritz must have had a queer head if the German story-teller has not exag gerated in his anecdote. It seems that a probably very dull man nam ed Fritz had been ordered by his master to take four horse aud a surry which is a sort of car much used by coal miners and, other who have need of vehicles for the con veyance of very heavy articles and fetch a "steam-boiler from the neigh boring town. -lust as he was about to start his master's wife called him in, and said: "Fiitz, here's three pence! I want you to bring me a packet of pins, and please don't for get it." "No, ma'am," said Frit?., and off he started. Some hours later Fritz came back, drove up to the house, unharnessed the horses, stepped into the house and delivered the small parcel of pins to the lady. "I sav, Fritz," said his mater, who was standing at the window, ''What have you done with the boiler?' "Boiler, sir!" answered Fritz. "Donnerwetter, sir, I hope you won't be vexed, but I clear forgot it." Harper's Young people. THE REMEDY THE ALLIANCE DEMANDS.

The utterance of every Deiu oerat who favor repeal i confront ed by an utterance o explicitly and specifically contradictory ait to divest it of all affectation of honest convic tion. The influence im irreitahl that hi advocacy of "unconditional repeal," in defiance of the National l'emocratic platform, i prompted by the expectation aud proiuiae of Fed eral patronage. With that eouaider atiou removed, the aumptioa that not a half dozen Democratic Sena tor would be found supporting the unconditional repeal proonitioii, doc no violence to the truth. It i a humiliating fact. The honent, consistent Hemocrat are to be found in the ranknof the opposition. They say what they mean, and poiblv. Home of 'hem mean what they aay. They advocate free trade, and they call it free tnule. They advocate the free and unlimited coinage of ailver and they iay ho, by the eternal. They are not leader who juggle platforms. They constitute the ele ment in the Democratic party that opposed Cleveland' nomination at Chicago. They knew then a they know now that Mr. Cleveland waft radically, vindictively and aggre ively opposed to ilver an money. They were not inadvertant to hia emphatic opposition to the Hland Allison law. They knew iu two an nual message that he had urged the J r,.1M.a of the law.-hal inHinted upon the discontinuance of both the pur- pur chase and coinage of silver In hia message, leeeraber, lHSo, he uaea thia strong and comprehensive lan guage: "I have aeen no reason to change the view expresd in my last annual message ou the subject of the compulsory coinage; and 1 again urge it suspension." Secretary Manning iii his annual report to Congress, I)e-ernler IJ.lKSfi, vehemently remonstrated againut the further purchase and coinage of silver. He Raid, with Mr. Cleve land' aopro. ah "Stopping the pur- tu.ui ni coinage or silver m the first step tnd the lie? atep which the L'niteit state cad take in doing their great part to repair the mone tary dislocation of the world." Thia is the difference between Cleveland and the Democratic, party, or the bi- metalic wing of the party, vividly brought to the attention of the coun try. It needed not the Northen let ler to emphasize the President's eou temptous opinion of the politicians at Chicago who juggled th De mo ra fie platform to mean biruetalim, or its equivolent, the free coinage f silver. The President poaition now on the iilver question i perfectly consistent with his ften declared views antecedent to the Chicago con vention. Iet it be understood now and forever that Mr. Cleveland in a gold monometalist; that he believea in a single gold standard, and that the object of the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law nft-ana that nothing more, nothing less.
