When the reat issue the war on ''the machine" a corrupt ballot is ob s. rved in the selectiou of candidates and the conduct of the campaign, ht iiiocratic success becomes a cer tainty. What matters it about the tarilt or silver if the registration books are debauched? What boots it that Cleveland's nomination at Chicago was dictated by Wall street, that delegates wt re bribed by Wall street money? That has been charg ed and not denied- The considera tion was the repeal of the Sherman law the demonetization of silver. That too has been charged in the Senate and on the hustings and not denied. But why tell it to the peo ple if stuffed ballot boxes are to de termine the result of the election. Pearson is right and every county and congressional nomination should be conditioned upon the nominees pledge to do the very same thing The recent Norfolk (Va.) election was a signal triumph. OVEIt "THE MACHINE," which can be repeated in every coun ty in North Carolina. A prominent Democrat who voted the "reform ticket in that election said to your correspondent: ".Norfolk election had become a disgrace to Virginia manhood. The "machine" was mad with power. Every dishonorabl trick and artitice was openly and shamelessly resorted to on election day. Every form of bribery and disfranchisement was practiced. It had become a disgrace and there were symptoms of revolt that threat etud the peace of the community (ienerally the men who cheat and bribe are cowards, aud 60 it was in Norfolk. They cringed like whip ped dogs when confronted by honest men determined to assert their rights. And so it will be in North Carolina when the test is honestly made. Honest people will resent dishonest election methods. They will shut their eyes to what is going on in hotly contested party elections for a time, but healthful agitation will arouse them, and once aroused reform triumphs. That's what the Norfolk election means. And you will hear more thunder of the same sort in the fall elections." The Vir ginian who makes this vigorous ex position of the Norfolk situation is a Democrat, but he is sick and tired of fraudulent elections. SUGAR SCANDAL INVESTIGATION.

KhiToK: From two-thirda to i href -foil rt ho of tho.-;e who voted for .Mr. Cleveland, and from two-thirds to three-fourths who voted for Mr. Weaver, in our State at the last elec- tion, are demanding practically the c.iiiiL reforms.

I know not by what name the victors will call themselves hut 1 believe that when the re forms above named are defeated or delavcd, it is a victory for the money power and Satan. Seeing that our enemies are united, is it not sui cidal for our people to divide up into factions? Especially is it not the moot sliameless lolly for those to di vide who are demanding practically the same reforms? Our enemies, the agents and emissaries of monied monopoly, do not divide I They have now even thrown off the thin disguise of pretended divi sion, and are everywhere defying the idol of party organization, which they have to sedulously taught us to worship! Shall we not oe as wise for our salvation as our enemies are for our destruction ? No party name is &wect enough to divide the agents of Wall street in congress w heu any legislation is attempted for the in terests of the scattered millions. N , these party names are kept to divide the bt nighted, the ignorant, the prej udiced, the partisan. Shame upon the people of North Carolina and a deep.-r shame upon their leaders, if they who need the same relief and demand the same reforms are separ ated by prejudice, partisanry seiiish-ne.-.s and ambitiou. I call upon the people then w ho are seeking the le forins herein before enumerated, to join together in this resolution: that, whenever a candidate worthy of their conlidence, no matter by what paity he may have been nominated, earn estly "aud honestly advocates what they believe or as much of it as they c-.iu rtasonablv ask, they will vote for him. and only put up opposing candidates wheu bail men or dauger our p! forms or both are put for ward. In this way, whether the friends of reform are as numerous as I have estimated them or not, they will be in amply sufficient numbers to hold the balance of power between existing parties whose nominees are seeking their votes. Ml muchiue politics .and politi cians are destroyed when all the po litical parties are compelled to put forward good men on good platforms. Let us learn a lesson from our eue- ones: wan street uoes not 10111 a po litical party in a practical sense; it merely acts temporally with a par'y in a particular locality wh se candi date it cau control. In district A it spends money for a Republican Wrall street congressman, and in district B it spends money for a Democratic Wall street congressman. That is the way Wall street won the last con gress and has won every congress for thirty years, though sometimes they are called Democratic and at other times Republican. In the same way it elects Presidents by adopting this same policy in the election of elect ors. In plain Euglish, Wall street holds the balance of power between the two factious of the people by not having a separate faction of its own. I'aities are allowed the soap-suds of glory and may call the victory by their own names if only Wall street can secure the fruits of victory. Millions of people called the last campaign a Democratic victory but what say they now? Whose victory is the demonetization of silver ? Lot the tongue of the forever silent Vance answer from the trave. Whose victory is the bond issue ? Whose victory was the election of Hill and Gorman twin traitors of Democra cy ? Do th'jy belong to Wall street any less than John Sherman whose "march to sea in congress has been far more devistating to the South than his brother's. Fifty thousand voters cut a very small figure as a separate political partv in North Carolina running candidates for office. But fifty thous and voters who organize and proclaim to the world their principles and de fine the measures and ihe character of men they will vote for, may easily hold the balance of power botween all parties seeking offices, and elect whom they will. I believe there are now one hundred thousand white voters in North Carolina who are willing to vote for the best interests of the State and Nation without re gard to the effect upon any party as such.

Coxev's ragged army of tramps, re inforced by the 150 meu under Gen. Calvin (who arrived at the CVxey camy jesterday) marched into town this morning and d corated the peace moniimeiit on Pennsylvania Aveniu at the western end of the capitol grounds with wreathes of evergreen and wild flowers. The srmy, under th- command of Jesse A. Coxey, for med at Camp Bastile, as their pres ent place of location near Bladens burg is called by them, at 7 o'clock this morning and proceeded to the citv via the Washington and 1'alti- more turnpike to Maryland Avenue Northwest, to 1: street Nortnwesr, to Pennsylvania avenue, to peace mon ument, and return bylhe same route. This route led through side streets only, and the main avenueof the city were not paraded. The procession was met at the Maryland avem e junction by a committee of Wash ington Coxeyites, principally colored, who act' tl as escort. The authori ties of the city, in anticipation of a demonstration by the commonweal ers, had cautiously stationed fifty police and 4 patrol wagons near the the monument, but eveything went off in the most orderly manner pos sible. As the "army" marched around the monument, giving three cheers each for Washington, Lincoln and other great American patriots, the have half dozen ladies who were in line, toss- d the tloral offerings up on the sitles of the bunting-clad monument. Immediately after tht simple ceremonies the army marched back to Camp Bastile without any demonstration of popular interest in the proceeding. CONI?

Representative William J. Bryan, of the li st Nebraska district, has sent a letter to the chairman of his congressional committee, Judge J. 11. Broady of Lincoln, declining to be a candidate for re-election. His rea sons for retiring from congressional life are that hti is unwilling to enter into a contest which, to be waged successfully, would confine him to his district during the rarftpaign. The district is Republican by 0,500, and in the last election Mr. Bryan won by the narrow majority of 140, and as he wants to take a more active part in the State campaign than he could do with a doubtful congres sional campaign ou his hands, he has decided to decline a renomination. In his letter he expressed some doubts as to the future of the Dem ocratic party, saying: "If the Presi dent's financial policy becomes .the policy of the party, I do uot see any reason for the continued existence of the party, because the Republicans, having followed that policy longer, are better prepared than we to sup port it. On the other hand, if the party repudiates Mr. Cleveland's fi nancial policy and renews its devo tion to the common people, it may yet become an effective instrument in the securing of good government." Mr. Bryan States he will resume his law practice iu the city of Lin coln. D("t. Dou't fail to write names of sub scribers plainly.

Thus Mr. Cleveland has drawn $77,000 out of the treasury since March, 18U3, lor expenses in the White House iot counting his salary, and the ex pense of swearing him in. Aud the uisery of it is that he refuses to ob--eve the oath of office after it's cost ing so much to have him take it. But this is not all. You pay $5,000 to keep the grounds around the house in order; you fur- nish him with secretaries, clerks, door-keepers, steward, ushers, engin- er, etc., at the yearly cost of more that $:J5,000. rhen,vfoi fear there may be short- age somewhere, you supply him with a "contingent fund" amounting (in IS93) to $8,000.

Iu short, he iaid, that the party hul done hut one thing that it promised to do, ami that was to retx-al the Federal elec tion laws, lint that the repeal of this law Would not put another dollar in circulatioa, would not add one cent to a jioutid of cotton nor make a single debt easier to pay. There fore it waa his duty to the people and to hia own nonacicm to renounce the party and go to the party which had the most Demo cracy in it, and that was the l'eople's party.
