There are three partus m State whose combined strength the e.- coeds that of the party in power, and to a man, from self-interest if noth ing else, the men in these opposition parties would stand together for a "free ha'Iot and a fair count," while a lare number of honest, liberal Democrats would unite with them if the purity of the ballot box was made the issne. Then call a convention of the Re form parties, throw the i.sues of j Tariff, Finance, Laud, S;c to the winds, for the time being, take up j the only issues on which reform forces of the State can unite, formu late a platform with a single plank, put in that plank tins issue only, viz.: every citizen of the Old North State is entitled to cast one vote and have that vote counted, (io into the campaign armed with the data and facts relating to the open, public, notorious frauds that have been prac ticed in elections it. the past, parade them in every political meeting at every cross road, school house and voting precinct in the commonwealth, rivet the attention of the whole peo ple upon the ballot box, impress upon them the danger attending its con tinued corruption, keep up this tight, to the exclusion of all other issues, throughout the .campaign and you will arouse tKe latent political hon esty of our people to a piich where not a returning board in the State would dare throw out a legal vote, or falsify the return at a single pre cinct, and we would have an honest election.

Dkvi: Sir: In the election of 1U v.ni voted the People's I'm tv ticket, ! vted the democratic ticket, You ii-lieve in Democratic principles, so do I; you want honest reform and re-ii-f for the people, so do 1. Then uhv do wp nrutrali.e each others in- :eii(-e hv K i 1 i i i j ir acli other's vote? I iii -i is an important question. It i indeed, a serious question for both f us, if we have convictions and are honest in our profession.'?. We I oth, joined the Alliance about i he s i-i'e time a id are still active nit tubers of the organization. We, both, bilifve in its principles and want the same results, in fact, we, both, believe that the best govern ment will be seemed when the de mands of the Alliance are enacted into law. But. the constitution of the Alliance was formed with so much wisdom and infused with so much patriotism and true Chris tianity that our obligations to the organization, and to each other, as Alliance men, left ti.s free to use our vote and influence to secure the3e re sults m whatever way, or through whatever channel that our con sciene (enlightened by our un derstanding) might direct. Ex ercising this right in the per formance of a great duty, you took the Alliance into People's Par ty politics, I took it into Democratic politics. This did not hurt the principles of the Alliance any more than takiug religion into politics hurts religion, but on the otherhand, helps politics, provided a man's re ligion is any better than his politics. Both of us were fighting to advance the principles of the Alliance and to serve, tne ends of good government, but one of us was mistaken as to the method. In the beginning of this fight against bad laws, and for good laws, vou and I, both took the Alliance in to Democratic politics. You and I were, both, elected to the Legislature uf 1SU1 as Alliancemen, who were striving to get the reforms needed though the Democratic party -and, iu a large measure, we succeeded in that Legislature. But every inteli gent man rea ized that if every pos sible reform that the Legislature c.iud enact was secured, that the real measures ot relief must still come through a Congress and a, Na tional administration that was guid ed by a sense of justice and a desired to do the right. In the spring of 1892 you, as Pre sident of the State Alliance, labor ed hard to get the Democratic party committed to the reforms needed by the people. 1 was with you in that fight, for we, both, always affiliated with the Democratic party and want ed to see that party in line with the people so that every Alliance man could consistently affilliate with it. You wcr. satis led with the position of the party i.i cue State, but when the National Convention met, wrote its platform and nominated its can didate, you, as the President of the Alliance, said that every Alliance man miut decide for himself, but that you believed that the Chicago platform was written to deceive the people, and that Grover Cleveland was a Monopolist and a gold bug of the deepest dye. Then it was that you and I, as Al liancemen, for the first time differed as to the best methods of getting re form. I believed that the State and National platforms of the Democra tic party were writteu in good faith, and I further thought that Grover Cleveland, if he could have both branches of Congress with him would wipe out all the evil laws from which we are suffering and give the people an honest government on Democratic principles. Besides the leaders of the Democratic party pledged the people and all Alliance men, that if we would give them a chance they would wipe out every bad law we complained of, that they would make the wealth of the coun try bear its share of the burden of taxation, that they would take the control of the money of the country out of the hands of the National Banks, that they would give free coinage of silver and furth er increase the currency with Trea sury notes to fifty (50.00) dollars per capita. All these and other re forms demanded by the Alliance were promised. I thought you were wrong: in not using your influence and position to give the party a chance. Yet, when we met, it was as Alliancemen, and we accorded to each other honesty of purpose, but a mistaken judgment I believed that when you saw your mistake you would so announce to the public, and that vou and I would, in the future, be together as to the method and party, as we haye always been on principle. J3ut the develop ments for the last founteen months have robbed you of such an oppor tunity to show that your devotion, to the iriiicipks of Allianct wereabore party, while I have been gien that 1-rivilr-ge, but fad duty. Yet?, the action of Congress and the Kwition of (ir.iver Cleveland on the tinan- i.il ..n&.tiAn El...a,t tlti were right and I was wroug. Ttierefore I take this ojortunity of antiounciug to the public, that us an Alliance man, who loves right better than he love. wrong, who love principle better than he loes the party of a life time, which now has the name only, that I can no longer atliliate with the Democratic party. I eve no hoje for the people through if, but as an Alliance man, and as a .Jefferson ian Democrat, I shall in the next election use my vote and influence whatever it is) to" secure the triumph of these principles through the success of the People's party. Yours Fraternally, J. J. I jim". ELOQUENT TOM JOHNSON' SHOWS THE Lt All FAITH AM) HVI'OC K( V OF THE HEMOCltATS ON THE WILSON TA HI EE Itll.E. He Shows Why Carnegie, the Kepa hlii-an Manufacturer, is Cleaned with it. Hon. Tom Johnson, a Democratic congressman from Ohio, made a rinjfiug speech the otiier day on the Wilson tariif bill. Wo make the fol lowing extract which is rick reading: This was his exordium: 'Ye, of the Democratic party, went before the county in 18U2, asserting that the existing tariff was wronir in principle and unjust in operation, declaring the policy of protection a fraud anil robbery, charging it with creating trusts, stifling commerce, throttling industries, causing enforced idleness, lessening wages, impoverishing la bor and creating a few monstrous fortunes, and pledging ourselves to abolish it if the American people gave us authority. They did give us authority and then our haste to repeal oppressive taxes subsided, and insVad of flying at the throat of protected baron and robber trusts, the great Democratic party began, as it were, to wag its tail and look for crumbs. "If Mr. Cleveland had shown the sagacity and courage the sitaatiou demanded, the ink wTould not have been dry on the commission of his secretaries ere congress would have been called into extra session to re lieve the country of its burdens of taxation. But, instead of that we proceeded to lest on our laurels and diride the spoils, and the nation was treated to the spectacle of a Presi dent and congress having power to remove crushing burdens, deroting their energies to" the discussion of personal claims to petty places. '"Aud as the climax of all this de lay come the shameful d.-y we have just passed through, iu which the House has stood paralyzed because, despite our OTerwnelming majority, we Democrats would neither furnish a quorum to be counted or count one that was really present. But at last the co-nmittee charged by this House with the duty of bringing in a bill for the abolition of a system which the majority of us have declared a fraud and a robbeiy have been heard from. They give us a Demo cratic report and a Republican bill. 'The Toice is Jacob's Toice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.' I aw like the man who could eat crow. I will vote for this bill if 1 can get nothing better. But I do not like it." Mr. Johnon proceeded to show that the bill if enacted into a law would injure but one trust, the sugar trust. The failure to touch the steel rail trust was particularly disparag ing to the Speaker. He is a manu facturer of steel rails himself, and he declared that the duty fixed in the bill, albeit a reduction of 50 per cent from the McKinley rate, would en able the trust to maintain prices as snugly as did the present law. "Do you wonder that just before Mr. Carnegie went to Jerusalem the other day he stopped long enough to say that he was perfectly satisfied with our bill." THIS IS HAD. Congrensmen Vote Themselves More Money. (Atlanta Journal.) The law allows members of con gress mileage at the rate of ten cents a mile for the distance traveled from their home to the capital and the same for the return trip. This is a liberal allowauce, since hardly any railroad in the charges over three cents a mile, and ince the average congressman is not averse to the use of passes. The law provides that this mileage shall be paid for each "regular ses- son of which each congress has two. At the recent extra session a reso lution was passed making availa ble then the amount which would be due for mileage at the regular ses sion. The resolution appeared on its face to be merely an anticipation of the mileage for the covenience of mem bers. Jast before congress took its Chrismas recess, however, an item of $175,000 was put in the urgency de flciency "bill for the payment of mile age a second time. This is the first time that mileage has been voted for an extra session, though a dozen such sessions have been held. We regret that a Dem ocratic congress should have been the first to violate an established rule and set this bad precedent. PLAYING MUMBLE PEG. (Hon. Tho. Watson.) We now know what the Democrats wanted to do with their "Chance." They wanted to play mumble peg with it. Old papers for sale at this office.

XI-TME AMERICAN GIRL. Fllrtatlvn I'rrfn lrJ - Mating Ma an. I lr crfflbt-r-WlMt Aiuvrirau OiiU AUiuIr Iu a Mam. The liberty enjoytnl by American girls astonUhea the Knglish as nun h us the liberty of the English girl surprises the FrenclL From the ag of 18, the American fdr! is allowed alru-t every liU-rty. Shi takes the others. She u supplied with !; ft money, which she upends at her own wirt w ill in bonlions, knick knacks and jewelry. She visits and rtrceives whom slit- pleases I mean those who please her. She has her own circle of acquaintances. If, u a tiall, the meet with u young man who takes her fancy, she says to him: "I am at homo on such a day; come and bee me." Next day ho may Bond her a ticket for a theatre and m her escort for tin evening. In America, nil this Bceins to be tho most natural thing in the world. This leadj to no intimacy , for a few days later it may hupeii that la- meets the young lady at a ball, and bho comes up to liirn and Bays: "I want to present you to a friend; do tell me your name, 1 mito forget it." The American girl seems to mo to act according to the dictates of common sense. Tired of the old formula, "A lady cannot do that, it would U improper,'' she says: "I will do it, and if I choose to do it, it becomes proper." "Why should I not go to the theatre alone?" sho says again; "if your streets are impure, it is for you to cleanse them. Why should I not receive my ball partners who phase mc? If one of thorn were to prolit by my seeing him alono in the drawing room to take a liberty with me, ho would be an ill bred fellow, and I should have him properly shown out of tho house, and certainly it is not for such aa ho that I should change my habits." It is the respect that woman inspires in American men, which allows tht young girl tofo about with such freedom and to queen it all through the Statea. Jonathan might give more than one let-son in thix subject to the men of th Did World, even to the Frenchman. Jonathan's re epect for women is disinteraeted, purely platooic. In France, this r aspect takes the form of a politeness which verges on gallantry, and is often not disinterested. A frenchman will always stand back to 1 a lady paee, but he will profit by the occasion to take a good look at her. The American, in similar circumstance, will respectfully lower his eyes. In trains, where the seats are con structed to hold two persona, you will see the American seek a place from one end of the train to tha other before he will go and seat himself by tht side of a younjf girl. With what pleasure I remember the yeung American girls whom I occasion ally mat at Pariakw parties in my youth ful days. One nersr felt awkward with theiu. Whereas with a French young girl I could generally find nothing but absurd common placaa to say, iu the pres ence of Jonathan's merry maidens I lost my timidity, and could chat away with as little embarrassment as I would with a young brother officer of my rsglment. The American girl ia still without rivals. Men seek her for her gayety, wit, or beauty; mothers look favorably upon her for her dollars; the younger women tear her to shreda nothing la wanting to her success. It was to her that Paris owed the In troduction of that attractive dance that goes in France by the name of boston. An inspiration this dance! Some one, I forget whom, has remark ed of the waltz, "It is charmlnK. it is fascinating, but one cannot chat. " With the boston it is different; one can dance that, and chat and flirt too. Now a flirta tion with an American girl is immensely agreeable, on account of the perfection he brings to the art To be gallant la no longer sufficient; to say things that are pretty, but insipid and commonplace, will not do at all; you must surpass yourself in wit and amiability, while keeping well within the bounds of the strictest propriety. I also used to get a great deal of di version in looking at the American girls clearing the buffet. How they made the ices disappear and tossed off punch, champagne or anything that came to then- pretty little hands! With what disdain they passed over the sirups and eau eucree, that the French girl timidly sipped, looking all the while to see whether mamma was not staring round eyed to show that she disapproved of such dissipation. Thy must have something serious and eatisfj-ing. Only the musicians, as they struck up the fir3t bars of the next dance, had fas cination enough to draw them away from the refreshment room. And what spirit there was in their dancing! Wnat animation! What eyes lit ud with pleasure! Not a moment's flagging: they danced with as much sup pleness at 5 in the morning as at the be ginning of the evening. And why not, indeed? Such pleasures are harmlees, and it is not becaure a woman has danced much in her girlhood that she should lead her husband a dunce, when she has one. Tne morality of a youth is in direct pro portion to the delight he takrs in play; that of a rirl mar be measured by her gayety and high spirit. I shall never forget a young American rirl, who sat at the same table aa myself. on board the steamer. The doar child, who waa about 17, performed prodigie. I watched her with never flagging inter- eat. What a little table d'hote ogress! First of all, at T in the morning, tea and bread and butter waa taken to the hungry one in her cabin. At half -past 8. she breakfasted. At 11. she had beef tea and biscuits brought to her on deck.

Notwithstanding this. I rarely met her on deck, or in the corridors, but she was munching sweets, gingerbread or chocolate. After all, there are so few distractions on board ship.

That passion for rich marriages, which burns in the heart f so many ycung American women, often had. thoiu lo disastrous results. If ono may trust one's eves, American law allows young irU lo marry their grandfathers, or at least tho contempo raries ot these worthies. It U not rare to soo girls of 19 and 20 married to men of 70 und over. As a Frenchman, 1 know it scarcely becomes uio to throw iho ilrst atom at my neighbor for thin, t ranco is uilmittedly a country whero manages de conven ance aie common. Stiil I must anv that tho diilereneo is enormous. In France, it is tho parents who ara to hlamound not the uirla, whilst in Amer ica it is tno young girl herself who chooses her husband, sho ulone is res'tou sible for this crime against Cupid's laws. She has not either tho French girl's ex cuse, ignoranco of tho world; 6he knows better what awaits her ou leaving the church. A French irirl sometimes oaasea ight from the convent to the mar riage altar, without her consent having been aakod, or even her opinion consult ed. And aKiiin, I must add that if French parents often cause a girl of 30 to marry a man twico her uire. thev would shudder at tho idea of giving her into the arms of an old man. The young American, indulged and petted by hor father, counts that un old hualand will bo mure likely to put up with her caorices, and irratifv ail her whima, than a young man would whose fortune was not made. "A young hus band," sho says to herself, "is ail very tlno; but there is my father who does just aa I please; i am pretty and hare hosts of men who tell me so every day; I am free to go whero I lii:o end receive whom I like; I spend us much aa I like; shall 1 exchange all this for a husband who will hamper me with a household and perhaps u larg9 family; who will talk of stocks imd perhaps preach economy; who will bore mo with the prices of grain or cotton seed oil. aud give mo the headache with listening to hia politics und heaven knows what? No, no, I will tko a husband who will think of nothing but satisf yinvc my ca prices." And perhaps sho a ids in her wisdom: "A man of 70 or 60 I shall not have to put up with very long." This kind of marnugo is tho well worn thome of many American comedies. An American told me thut he once went a long journey in tho samo railway car with an inflrra, hoary old man of 80, who waa accompanied by a girl of scarce more than- 20. My friend admitted to , me that the sight of her lovely face had the effect of making 1dm fall quite in love with her before their fie days' jour ney was over. He did not have an op portunity of coniJrsing with her; but on arriving at their destination, he resolved to put up at the same hotel as the old man, to as to perhaps have a chance of mak ing more ample acquaintance with hiaj fair charge. To find out tho name of the young girl and Ler venerable grand father, he waited to sign his name in the hotel register, until the patriarch had inscrilied his own. Imagine his feelings when he read: "Mr. X. anl Wife." Here is a loke that I culled from a Washington paper. Is it a joke? "A bachelor lately advertised for a wife. A tyimgruphiral error changed his ace from 37 to 87; but it made no difference, for he received over 2W appli cations from ladies ranging in age from 16 to CO. and all promising love and de votion to the rest of his existence." Here is another, which I extract frons a comic paj(er. Tho author seems to be lieve the American mother does not look on such marriages with displeasure: "Mother So you have engaged your self to Mr. Jones. You must be a goose. He has neither fortune nor position. I know he may one day be well off; hia grandfather may leave him part of his fortune, (lerhaps. " 'But. mamma, it is his grandfather I am engaged U.' "Mother -Kiss me. my child; you are an angel." Whatever may be said on the subject, thee marriages are but the exception: but the exception is too frequent to be possible to pans it by in silence. The American girl is past mistress in the art of turning to account her little capital of beauty, youth and virtue. She knows how to employ ail love's artillery, and if the object at her d.ire is recalcitrant the can tire red h (t balls. The late Alfred Assotlant told how an American girl once succeeded in making a young English lord many her. In cer tain states of the Urron it is sufficient to pass the night with a woman to be de clared her husband by law in the morn ing. This damsel, it appears, invited the young lord to sup in her own room. This is done, or was done, in certain part of America, and morals perhaps were none the worse for it. The bait took, and at supper the scion of a lordly house got tipsy and went to sleep in the maiden's room, all ignorant of the law. At daybreak there is a knocking at the door. Tableau!

The days of pure politics hare passed uway and left only a memory. The men who then controlled our local and State organizations, were not the mere tools of a political ma chine; they were Democrats, or Whigs or Kepubl leans, looking only to the weab of the Staty aud its maintenance of political purity. Political degradation must hare reached its bottom when a man like the chairman of the Democratic State committee is rewarded b j a . Democratic administration and a Democratic Senator for t be methods used by him in the last campaign to elect the Democratic ticket in this State And political infamy knows no parallel to the conduct of a high judicial officer of the State who con spires to rob the ignorant elector out of his right to vote. If the decision of the highest court of the State af fecting the great, constitutional right of suffrage can be suppressed and used as a basis for secret, political in formation, with impunity, then all talk of virtue and decency, and mo rality ia public affairs is but "a sounding brass and tinkling cym b il." And exactly that very thing has happened, but a parttsaa, (r un scrupulous press has suppressed the facts and the people who obtain their information through that source, are ignorant of it. It has been published and not denied that under the ruling of the State Su preme court in the case of Harris vs. Sbarborough, thousands of Republi can and Populist voters were not al lowed to vote on accouat of insuffic ient registration. What constituted "sufficient registration" was known only to Democrats, who got their in formation from the chairman of th State Democratic committee, who go his information from the Judge who delivered the opinion of the court. This information was secret and was gent out as 'confidential." If polit cal debauchery like this is to go nn punished, and the men who perpe trated lt are to be rewarded, then God help the people. They most be lost to every consideration of man hood. The history of political revolts in this district ought to be a warning to the machine leaders. It ought to prove to them that the people will not be trifled with, and tat the par ty lash has no terrors for them.
