And surely if during the adminis tiation of our past Presidents, nota hly those of Presidents Alexander and Carr, it was ascertained that we were "beaten w it'll rods," it is but a I'iilliiu' truth to-clav that we are "whipped with scorpions." Jf by diligent inquiry in sundry supreme councils it was found that certain and divers oppressors for a quarter of a century had gradually and clandestinely, through legisla tion, obtained the power of oppres sion, and the "Alliance demands" the remedy, how much more do we now see and feel the iron heel of these same men who are emboldened bv a lot.g lease of power to set at open deliance and llagrantly ignore the disorganized people. In full view of the march of this downward procession to inevitable ruin, many of the members of the Farmer's Alliance, which was insti tuted for resistance to this down ward course, have grown faint-hen t t d, "hun their harps on the willow" and will no more sing of their be loved Jerusalem because of the fact that to-day they are in a strange land.- Hut, my brethren, I am glad to say to you that there are yet twen ty thousand of as good, true, noble and patriotic sons as North Carolina ever hail who, like Daniel, the grand hero of the llihle, have set their face toward the temple and, in spite of the threats of their adversaries, are praying and battling for the de- iff 1 I mm Hon.

They yet believe that their "demands" enacted into law s are their only salvation and that the perpetuity af their govern ment is dependent upon that free dom and happiness which they only can give while there is nothing in our law that dictates to any member how he shall vote or with what par ty to atliliate. Yet they believe that it is their prerogative and their duty to vote for those who hold to their 'sdemanda" and will enact them in to law. Let us ever strive to wrest our gov ernment from the hands of the op pressors and give it back to the peo ple to whom it belongs. History remote and near has prov en that the ills which befall a na tion fall heavier on the laboring aud producing classes than upon any others and it matters not how glori ous mav have been the equality in the start, by cruel aud unequal laws the tendency all aloug is towards vassalage and in mauv instances an ultimate and sad reality. Men in this condition either in tendency or realitv have not power, on account of poverty, or intluence on account of the subjection that the circum stances reqi ire f jr the vassal to his lords. These things haviug weak ened the many, have made strong the few. aud when a henef';cient gqvern mtjiit gives them the privlege, and the farmer's Alliance the education to vote, yet they are slow to exercise their franchise to the extent. of driv ing the "money-changers from the temple" who are the sole cause, one way or another, of all their lllg. Jf thee things are so. then refor mution on this line must be slow While 1 would not ask vou to change your position or relax your hold from the obtaining of your rights due you from your government, I do 'lulhr. I ',,tf r vf Nin th C'lr.Han : The Kxectitiv umuiittee of the People's party of North Carol it; i, o the eve of th'-' the Ill'Mt importar-t political campaign for many years pa.-t, if not in fact the rnopt momeii roiid campaign in the iil-rorv of the State, are jHTst'aiVd that onie words of advice a well as warning to the voters of North Carolina may in thi crisis of public alPiir serw a good purport", and aid it: aronsii g popu lar sentiment to the patriotic duty of having fr-e ami fair ee t;.i s. it is a truth which no man dir. putes that a frequent recurrence to the fundamental principles of gov ernment is essential to the prc-Tva tiou of . liberty. All political econ omy, as well as human experience teaehes that political power is con t i r i ; 1 1 i v pas-:ni' from the many the few in our own, as well .H i every other republican sy-tem nt ! i rnment, the ballot s the onlv m stt"iii"!it through which the will of the people, the s nice of all sover eignty, can be express d, and the man or set of men who would de stroy or impair the free and untram meled use of the ballot in elections must he regarded, to say the least of it, as unfriendly towards republica'n institutions. Whi c many of the States of the Union are overrun with voters imported from foreign coun tries by the ship load during the quarter of a centu.-y last past, and who are unaccustomed to the system of government which obtains in a republic, we of North Carolina can happily boast of the smallest foreign population of all the States and have, according to the last census re port, less than live thousand foreign er in a total population of more than one million and a half, ror many years past we all know that Federal interference and snpervisor- sh it in our State elections while ac complishing little or no good in a practical way towards securing fail elections, has been a constant source of irritation, and excused in some measure a resort to methods of con trivance, trickery and fraud as a counter-irritant, which upon occa sion and in some localities has most effectually suppressed a free ballot and a fair count. Two wrongs, how ever, never make a right. This Federal interference in elections by common consent of all parties aud the crystalized popular sentiment of our State is now a thing of the past and, it is to be hoped, is behind us for all time to come. Now let us as good citizens of the State rise to the full measure of our patriotic duty, and on our part discard forever and root out of our political system all fiaudule.it methods and practices which tend to impair the ballot and suppress the voice of the people fair ly expressed at the ballot box. While men may honestly differ as to parties and political principles let us by earnest endeavor in this cam paign be more vigilant and watchful than ever before to the end that, whatever the result of the pending election may be, we may all have the satisfaction of feeling uud knowing that henceforth in North Carolina "elections shall elect." No intelligent man this day pretends to deny that the poisonous seeds of dishonesty at elections have bee n sown broadcast over this Repub lic, and are maturing now a bounti ful crop of untold evils which follow as a natural harvest. To the credit of the great State of New York it is recorded in her criminal courts that men once potent there in election frauds are now doing service tor that State in penitentiary garb, while to our shame be it said that in our own State those equally guilty go uti- w hipped of justice anel even have the brazen audacity to aspire to posi tions of honor aud trust among the very people whose rights they have trampled upon, and oemg tnus em bohjened, stand ready to repeat past iniquities of ec)ual if not greater atrocities. Aud when and where shall it end ? Cheating at elections, like frauds in business, will and does, lead from one infamy to another. It saps and undermines the very foundations of government, destroys confidence in the stability of our institutions, makes capital timid of investment, destroys confidence among neighbors, fosters and eucourages a spirit ot awlessness, breeejs auarchists and mobs, strikes down the principles of morality and turns backward the n-ogress of our revered christian civilization, brings reproach upon our people and our State, teaches men to violate law, ana it persisted in must jueyitably as its logical re sult, destroy the very last vestige of iberty which is as dear to our own hearts as it was to our patriotic an cestors who fought the battles of the Kevolution. We therefore most earnestly ap peal to all good citizens irrespective of party affiliations to awake to their duties ot tne nour, .ana to unite witn us in actively condemning the un just perversion of our election laws, w le-re ballo turnd mad" have b-eti u-ed in v.

The fruits from' this awakening are already beginning to appear.

Mecklenburg ami Wake counties have taken the 1,-ad: and already their goetd example is being followed with varyiug degrees of success by Alamance, Guilford, Cabarrus, Dur ham, Granville, Chat nam, Wayne, HJffecombe and a number of other nties. lieports coming in from other portions of the Slate show that in nearly all the counties the mestion of better public roads is re ceiving a considerable share of at tention. The recent successful road confer ence at Cnapel Hill had scarely ad journed before calls were received trorn several uiixerent sources that a similar meeting be held iu lialeigh, at some time during the present mouth, to which should be especi ally invited the road overseers, mag istrates, county commissioners and other citizens of Wake and neigh boring connties. It is announced that such a meet ing will be held iu Ilaleigh ou Au gust 23rd and 24th, the objects of which will be two fold; first a dis cussion, from every standpoint, of the best methods of improving the public roads in the counties of mid dle North Carolina and second, to examine carefully the stone roads which are being built by lialeigh township, the road machinery being used, aud the methods ot using con vict labor iu road buildinsr. This meeting should be attended by every road overseer county commissioners in Wake aud the neighboring coun ties, and the "friends of good roads," like "friends of education," should attend the conference also. District conferences of this kind or road institutes, should be held in every section of the State, anel from all of these more local meetings, as well as from the counties themselves reseutatives ought to be sent to the meeting of the State Road Improve ment Association which will be held iu Charlotte on September 13th.

I was satisfied, and knov. beyond liiestion, that the convention leit sure that every man in the State would understand beyond a shadow of a doubt that you were named as a )emocrat in good standing in your iart v. We are contending tor the establishment of the principle in this State, that the highest Judicial tri bunal should be non-partisan. Of course, if anv party in the State is opposed to a non-partisan juuiciary, then, ot course, to a certain extent the object aimed at will be defeated. Your record on the bench and as a citizen had been such as to convince the convention that if there was a man in the Democratic party who would favor a non-partisan J udiciary more than another that man was yourself, hence the actioi of the con vention in emphasizing the principle by naming you as one ot the men to represent it. 1 caL t believe that you are opposed to a non-partisan Judic iary, yet how can there be such a Ju diciary if there is no man in the Democratic party who, while a mem ber of the party, will permit the use of bis name to represent this principle ? If the establishment of this principle, however, should not meet your approval, of course that would end the matter ; but other wise I think that every one who is in favor of lifting the Judiciary out of party politics, should and will, ca3t his vote lor you in iovemoer, un less you should state that there are business and personal reason 3 which would prevent you from serving on the bench after being erected. Your answer to this letter of course I will be glad to publish if it meets your approval, but I trust that it is not necessary to assure you that your answer will be strictly confiden tial if you so desire it.

Dear Sir: Your letter of the 10th inst. came duly to hand. 1 construe your letter a requesting me to answer two queries. First Am 1 opposed to tne prin ciple adopted and set forth by the convention of the People's party fa voring a non-partisan Judiciary: To this I answer that I am not, The principle, I understand, to be elementary and not peculiar to any party. 1 wish to disclaim tne sngnt est intimation, in this answer, that the gentlemen nominated by tne Democratic convention would con stitute a partisan Judiciary. Second Are there any business or personal reasons which would nrevent me from serviD if elected? To this I answer that there are none. Having thus candidly answered your questions, I might say no more, but to prevent any misunderstanding as Gentlemen: The time for you to select aud appoint election officers to conduct the election in this coun ty next November is close at hand. I take the privilege to call your at tention to the undeniable truth made by me in a letter to The Caucasian written last February, to wit : "The main license for fraud is with the Boards of County Commis sioners whose duty it is to appoint election officers. Give us correct men to perform this duty, no matter from what political party ; selected as the law directs, and we can have a fair election but these fellows who have heretofore handled the ballots better be left out. 'It is hard to learn an old dog new tricks' referring only to the immediate three or four years past, previous to which there was l.ttle if any com p'uiut on this line in our county." This letter is not intended to arouso the ire of your Honorable Chairman, nor cause him to deny anv act or course of conduct with which he is not charged, and if cor rectly oonstrued he will not need the maudlin congratulations ot D. jl Madlin, Esq, of Rural Home, where ever that is. to bolster him up. JNoi is it intended to call forth the dread ful indignation of Revenue officer, Capt, W. R. Johnson, and demand that he avow such chnstiau inno cence in a matter which has not been imputed to him. Hope you will exercise that chan ty towards me, and the motives that prompts this letter, aa will save mt from a charge of contempt. Every good citizen is tired of hear ing about dishonest elections, ballot iursderv, false returns, etc. It it yjur option to help remedy this curse or not stealing is stealing, whether it be a vote or a sheep that is stolen. With all due respect I am, J. C. Freeman. Saus Souci, N. C.j Aug. 17,1894. P. S. Thia letter was sent to the Windsor Ledger for publication but refused by Mr. bwain. ' J.C. r.
