The above is the only way I can f.ee to answer an honest election uii- I dei the present law. I Edwaud Rea. No. 20. Derita, X. C, Dec 27, '!:J. Mu. Editor: I think the best method to prevent fraud and secure .i fair and honest election under the present election law, is for the voters of our State wdio desire a fair and honest election to organize. First, To organize township and county executive committees, com posed of the very best working men that can be had. Second, To organize one or more clubs in each election precinct. The committees and clubs should work together. Each club should know every voter in its bounds, have a full list ot them and knew how they will vote, c. ' They should make them selves well a(Uaintfd with the elec tion law of tile State, should exam ine the Registration book and see their men are all up to time accord ing to law. The members of these clubs should attend the meeting of the judges the dav the books are closed (2d Saturday before election) and look to the interest of their voters. A number of the members of the club should be at the election box ail day on the day of election, and watch every movement of the machine that is in control. Keep a list of every man that votes, see that all your men who are entitled to rote, and prevent every one who is not entitled to from voting. Super intend the counting of the votes, and see that your scrab list agree with the number of votes counted. Keep a correct copy of the returns of your box, which is signed by the judges, and with your copy follow the judges return to the court house, and see that the returns from your box is properly made and counted. This work should not be left to two or three men, but let all the members of a club assist each other and act together. This is an out-line of my plan, there are many smaller details which should be atteuded to by the com mittees and clubs. X.

Whilu it is e.iy to show you that full letral tender paper money has existed in fact as well as in theory I prefer to question you upon the theory tirst. "Suppose that I have your note for twenty dollars for value received. Do 1 hold it because I know that you have twenty dollars in gohl or silver laid by t hat you will pay me upon demand when the note is due?'" "Certainly not. If I had to hold t he money for you there would be no object in giving my note." "True, but iiow am I to get mv pay?" "My farm is sufficient security for twenty dollars, is it not?" "Certainly, but let us suppose again that vou nave no farm or that it is already mortgaged what then?'' ".My personal property would still remain as a security." "You admit then that real estate and iersena! property are suilicient securities for a note. "Now I elo not for a moment doubt but that I could bring your note here to the- store and exchange it to Maynard for twenty dollars in rriuids :n 11 Iia cniilii in turn reti:oi"e & ...... .. ...... . . it with any of the farmers around here where you are known for butter or ciner produce, ana so it might pass ..rouuti from man to man until it linally readied you for redemption, either in money or in any product you had that the holder might need. Thus, in a limited sense, it would be money." "That is all very well so far as it goes, and that far is essentially true, but we wauta money that is as good in Maine as it is in California, and as gooel to-day as it is to-morrow. We don't want to be obliged to keep an iudicator' as we used to in the days of the 'wild cat banks.' You don't remember those elays but I do, and 1 don't care to have my memory fresh ened by a return to such days. Our present money is the best we ever had and good enough for me." "That may be true, but is not the government as well known iu Maine as in California? Will we need an indicator any more in one State than in the other to determine the stand- Those notes were always worth dol lar for dollar with g"ld and like!

"To make room for a money that could be controlled and manipulated by the bankers and gold gamblers; to make rmmi for notes and bonds that hore interest that the people must be taxeel to pay; to rob the many to enrich the few; to make a few princely fortunes and an army of dependents and tramps ; and 1 be lieve the success of the measure has surpassed the expectations of its most sanguine supporters." "If you don't stop reading those Populist papers you will get to be a full-fledged anarchist."

Editor of The Caucasian: In replying to your olTer for the best plan to secure a free ballot and a fair count this fall, I offer the fed lowing suggestions : First, That in aeldition to the judges of election appoiutedjiy the board of county commissioners, that all or as many as desire an houest election aud a fair count will meet in convention in each township on the first Saturday in September audi select a committee of three of the best men from each political party i represented in said convention aud lot said township.

Livingston, recently an ap plicant for the Attorneyship for the Western District of Missouri, wired to Washington last night asking that his papers in the case be withdrawn aud that he no longer considered an applicant for the position. Iu a card in to-morrow's Daily Gazette he will renouce his allegiance to the old Democratic party and cast his future political career with the Populists. His action is causing considerable comment from his old party associat es, who have fought with him side by side for years. "I think you might promise to wait for me, Elite.

Our people a good ly number of them at .least love to build churches and have comfortable places in which to meet ami vvorehij tied. Does not this inclination to have good churches and gooei preach ing apply as much to the farmers as to other people ? Tliere seems to be an impression iii souie quarters that all the elegant churches aud tine preachers must be in the city. Now, farmers do not need crave towering steeples founded ou a massive pile of brovustone or brick. Xor do they crave tine pipe organs that cests thousands of dollars, and they are content to sit ou comfortable bench es instead of opera chairs ; but while the farmer is content with Ics im posing structuie and less style, beau ty and grandeur, still he does want a comfortable church as his spiritual home and he thinks hi ought to have good preaching if he must be denied the pleasure of sit ing under the pound of a 1). 1). Now if we grant the f. imtr a. comfortable church in w Liie .i to worship, a pastor to niiuis t"r to his spiritual necessities, of course he needs some money to meet his ciiu :ch obligations. .A'-d still again, every intelligent fai oier wants to read aud wants to pt.t g"oel book a. papera-anei magazines iu the hands of his children, and if we grant him this privilege of course he w ill need some more money to pay for them.

Until a party uas "a ciianc"," that word is clas sic it may possibiy plead for sup port ou the basis of its principles. After it has had a chance, it must be judgeel on the bais of its practice as the best unel only evidence of its principles.. "y their fruits shall ye know them." When a party has had a chance and has grossly failed to use it when it has laid aside its ancient principle and practised the principles of its enemy, only maudlin sentiment on the one hand or worse than suici dal prejudice ou the other can secure the continual support of its adher ents. Political parties are made for use on broad pnuciples of human ity. The support of a party ought to be a business proposition.
