DiToit Th k C a uc a s 1 a x : I take oleasure in Pennine this communication to you to endorsi and commend the action of Teople's party State convention ot Aug. 1st in doing the right and proper act m the most commendable foini over cratie Senators would gla.dly vote against the high sugar duties; but they cannot pass any law at all with out the votes of two nit-u who have said they would vote for no bilTthat didn t protect the sugar industry, that they are Southern men, too. 1 litis the entire party must yield to the wishes of two men who have of the sugar trust: thus two men frustrate the piinciples and threaten tlie life of a jreat party. And there s no pallia tion. It a bill favorable to sugar trust is passed by a Democratic Con gress, surely Democracy has itselt to blame, yes, itself and the Repub lican Senators w ho maae the threat ening attitude of Louisiana Senators possible. Better than vield a point to a trust we would have the battle for right fought out all summer, fought until the people can elect Senators who will not yield to a trust. .o one is more anxious for tariff legislation of some kind than we, no one appreci ates the need of certainty more; but rather than make c ticessions to a trust we would abid" several more mouths of delav.

How then can we citizens of the loialifv of their oilices occasion ally. Clerks are paid to run the government and about three-fifths of them are superfluous; and the office-holders are paid for having serv ed their party. The truth is we have made public oflice t'io attractive. No man enters one with any idea of working hard, and any man is (pialitied to hold of fice if he can get it. lie reed not fear work, as ample provision is made for clerks, so he can direct his attention to serving his party and getting his office another term. We must get rid ot tlie idea or re warding party workers and pay men onlv what their labor is worth, and abolish as many clerkships as possi- jle, thus making the duties ot of fice so arduous that only able and worthy.men will aspire to them. We must show our contempt for the hireling scoundrel who asks reward for having espoused principles. ITie annual expenses of our ov- ernment are about s4a,ooo,ooo. About 100,000,000 of this is paid to men who ' served the party" and '0,000,000 to clerks who are of kin to men who served the party. About 180,000,000 are swallowed up by i. A. li. pensioners and pension sharks. This enormous expense makes the high tariff and internal revenue aud income tax necessary. So that it may be seen that political parties aud the accursed "spoils sys tem" are the great causes of these great matters of dispute, which each party has plans to settle, and which do not exist it the parties were an dead. If 8100,000,000 will not 1111 our government a year, run it well and eave a workine margin, then we tad better divide into four parts nut it is sufficient, and the other S33, 000,000 are devoted to parties and pensioners and charged to tne recount ot the tarill. etc.. wnicn means that the public pays it. the first item was 73.50 for carriages final litness of all efforts to thwart in Washington city.

Also notice that the hotel bill at Golds boro was (33 and at Kinston (37. But your attention is specially called to the last two items under voucher iiONO. They read as follows: Ex penses at Uichlands 28. Lunches and porter hire "' Making a total of 110. How was this money spent. We are reliably informed that .Mr. K L. Francks, Mr. 1). E. Sanderlin and others entertained the funeral escort as guests and did not charge the g-overnment one ceut. How much more of the expenses of this trip is of that nature, we will leave the reader to judge. Down a little further you will notice that 4(3,80 more was charged for lunches, How much of this was chatnpaigne and whisky we suppose will never be known. Notice under voucher 2084 one item of 34.20 for kid white gloves. Just under it is more gloves (this time black kids) to the amount of sia.20. Under voucher X"08o there went in one lump 487. There is no explanation what it was paid for, except one item of 73.80 to the Mullett Railroad, It will also be seen that 308.00 was paid in one lump to Capt. J. W. Lamb. We suppose this for more carriage hire. Voucher 2087 is 588.50 to railroad company from Washington to (iolds boro. While under voucher 208'.) there is item of 110 for a special palace car in addition to the above. These facts speak for themselves, The people foot the bills. The peo ple must vote for a change. one-1 I say it is. Now, what is to be gained by strict adherence to party over a rec ognized necessity i desirable, 1 should say, People's party. Then if these con clusions are 111st, why uot go just a little further and largely eliminate partisan politics in the selection ot the State Senators and Assembly men, the element that make laws in the interest and to the dictation ol machine methods, since you do so by those who are to execute the law, once made. Say rather select men who will represent and in making laws conform to the requirements ol principle and. necessity of the peo- pie rattier than according to macniuc marked plans. ... . IV. Your party has but got upon ine hrst step 01 progressive political ie form within the State, late anotn er, equally imperative, and the right eous will rise up and mark its era as blessed by their prayers they vot ing as they pray, as all good people do.

Dr. Cyrus Thompson and "others Tvery the State haviuga lavvagainst trusts tolerate trusts? For what do we make laws, if they are uot enforced? Can we not afford to uphold any law? 'But whose duty is it to preserve and enforce the law? Certaiuly it is every citizen's duty so far as a cit izen may; and we wish to say here that citizens are not doing what Nothing very they may.

We didn't know tha; and we dare not imagine that the Governor is much of one, if the Attorney General isn't. But we hav-H been informed by a lawyer whose reputation for honesty and correctness is the best, mat tne grand juries and the solicitors can attend to this matter; aud that any citizens who has evidence may call their attention to it. The tobacco trust operates iu the tobacco-buying towns, and we suppose that any one who deals in leaf tobacco can make complaiut. Let the matter be brought before the grand jury. Let it not be said that the American To bacco Company is more powerful than of the State North Carolina. Let it not be said that the menacing pow er of the sugar trust in the Federal Senate has a parallel iu .North Caro lina."

Some ot them are old timers and their associates have cauirht the infection. The money power, whiskey, sugar, and other monopolies are represented in the Cabinet and in both Houses of Con gress. At present we have a gov ernment ot, for and by trusts and monopolies. In striking contrast to The present salaries paid iu many departments of our government are entirely too- large tor tne times. they were proper twenty-live years ago, they are too large now. Office holders do not have halt so much work to do now as then, for their number has multiplied many fold And, more than this, s5,000 tweuty five years ago would buy about one third as much of the necessaries oi life as the amount will now; and if one avers that higher rents must be paid, a certain number of dinners triven. a certain number of servants employed, a certain degree of style lived up to, or anything of the kind. the people may reply that none of these things are embraced in the du ties of public servants, aud if they choose to subject themselves to a fashion that demands them, it is none of the people's business, aud they are not financially responsible for them. The servant is not greater than his master, at least, he was not along time ago. And he must not be now, if our government is to be saved from the hordes of worthless, cove tous men, who serve parties at the expense of the public. We need to make a public office a public trust, aud one of arduous duties, with reas onable salary and no more clerks than necessary; we need to remove the attractions of public service, treating it as a business matter, which indeed, it is, and pay no more for it than would be paid in any oth er businesi."

Resolved li, That we admire the courage and lofty patriotism of the President; that we most heartily commend his prompt and effective action under the law for the sup presfion of the efforts of alien anar chists to disturb, by force and vio lence, the true relations of labor and capital; his sturdy efforts to securi the enact men t of tariff reform as called, for in the platform; his prompt approval of the bill repeal ing the Federal election law; the notable reductions of the expenses of government under his administra tion, and the freedom from scandal vvhi'?:.i has been such a marked fea ture of his return to the head of af- airs. We point with pride to the record of tile Democratic party 111 North Carolina and endorse the present administration, ror eighteen years this party has had full control of the State govern n e;it. It has ad ministered it with the greatest econ omy and at all times with an eye single to the best interests of all the itople. Coming into power at the end of a reign of debauchery and crime, it addressed itself to the work of rehabitation, and its record is one which challenges public admiration It has rebuilt our public school sys tern; established asvlums for the care of our unfortunates; administered justice; promoted our public enter- " i . t 11 prise; reduced taxation and in an re spects justified the confidence of those who have trusted it. It has afforded security to life and property, protected Doth capital and labor 111 its rights, and done all that govern ment can do for a people. No scan dal has attached to its administra tion of public affairs. We congrat ulate our citizens upon their well reposed trust in it; we congratulate them upon the. friendly relations ex isting between the races; upon the prospects of bounteous crops and re turning prosperity. With the record before them we appeal to them for a vote of confidence this year in the Democratic party. IJesol u lions. Resolved, That we favor the abo lition of the internal taxes on spir its as soon as practicable. If this cannot be done that the harsh and unjust features of the law for its collection be modined.

Gov ernor Tillman has ordered the dis pensaries of the State to be opened for business .ueusc 1st Up to the recent time the dispensaries and the saloons have both been in operation The Governor now says that on Mon day he will start the constables out to shut up all saloons and liquor shops. exceiTt the dispensaries, ne has been too slow to do thi3 in order to jrive those who had stocks of liq rn band to pet rid of them. He thinks that from the first until Mon day next is reasonable time to have allowed. Ex-Judge Connor has not had a photograph taken in twenty years. Therefore we have uot been able to have a cut made of him, that would represent him as he looks uow. He is a man now in the prime of life a-, d with a remarkable mature mind, yet he is still rather youthful in appear ance. Outside of representing Wil son county in the General Assembly we believe he has never held any office till he was made Judge of the Superior court On the bench he was a model Judge, lie nas never been popular with the corporations, yet not one of them can charge that he ever made an unjust charge or ruling against them. The fact that he has tried to be absolutely lair and iust toward all parties, persons and interests, is no doubt their greatest objection to him. And this explains why the reople s party selected mm as one of the men who should sit on a high, just and non-partisan Su preme court bencn. lint ttiere is mother stiong reason in ins iavor. He is one of the few Superior court Judges in North Carolina, who have had the manhood and regard for their oaths of office, to charge a jury on the high handed election frauds that have been so openly and notori ously committed in this State. In as much as honest elections have be come the over-shadowing issue in North Carolina, this record of his makes him one of the most fitting and necessary ,men for the Supreme court bench at thi3 time. His legal ability and his purity of character have never been questioned. Accepting the friends church, not only from teaching but from conversion, he has been a consistent christian nun and a faithful mem ber of that church since early boy hood. In 1872 he married SaPie M. Henley of Alamance county, and one boy and throe girls comprise his family. TAKE VOI It CHOICE AM VOTE At- ACCOKOI NOI.Y.
