The People's party is tJiu only political organ iz ;tiou whom.1 members stand as a unit in all sections on the priii ciples it advocates. The two old parties have their Iv'.stern, Northern, Western, and Southern, fsictiotir-, each ot.e holding antagonistic views on all the great industrial pieti"iis which are forging their way to the front. In twelve out of fourteen states west of the Mississippi liiver, wiiih in the past have beeH cla.-.vd as Republican, the People's party )' first and second in voting s'rength, all except Iowa and California. In these twelve we have reduced the Democratic strength to a few strag glers, and had it not been for the administration and goldbug Demo crats nominating diunmv tickets for tile D uioctuti: fanners and labort rs to support, w hile they voted with the Republicans, we would have elec ted our candidates in a majority of these etates. In the s'a'eu south of the Ohio and Potomac Hi vers we are second in voting strength in eight out of fourteen States, and the Democratic party remains in control by fraud and counting the colored vote. The Democratic party in the South is the negro pat ty, because withoui their votes a majority of the Southern States would have elected l'opulisi governors this year. Ilead((naiters of the People's par ty was opened January 1, 1N!4 Contributions to (let ray expanses were made by the Pcpnlist S-raters. Representatives, and other friends throughout the land. The total amount received from all sources was l,:Ul S , an average of $122.71 per month, only a tnlle more than a Congressman's clerk recieves for ''spinning yarns " Out of this amount we hud to defray all expenses, as room rent and furniture for same, fuel, gas biils, clerk hire, stationary, postage, telegraphing, printing, board, and many oM'ei incidental expenses. Anyone familiar with this kind of work can r.ead'ly see that, the great est economy v. as necessary; doubiles? either one of the old parties hns nseo more than this amount in the United States. In connection with this 1 wioh to thank Hon. L.fe Pence, of Colorado: Col. (Jeorge C. KHison, of Washington, D. C; Leroy Ten pie ton, of Indiana, and Thomas Davis, of Macon, Illinois, who came to the rescue and saved headquarters from being closed in the middle of the cam paign. I doubt if the pe p!e will ever appreciate, or be able to repay them, for the sacritice they have made for our cause. There is one thing that Mr. Pence don't know, and that is when to cease giving for the cause. In many respects this campaign has been a phenomenal, and stormy one iu fact, it has no parallel in our history. Many grave questions confronted the committee, which required careful consideration, and perhaps but few realise the critical position the party occupied. The industrial army movemeur, as well as the strikes and general discontent, introduced a new feature into the political arena, which demanded close attention. On these questions we were flooded with letters, de manding "that our committee issue an address indorsing the indus trial army movement, and inviting every one to come to Washington, while others as zealously, demanded that we issue an address, denouncing it m the severest term; the same was true of the great coal and railway stnekes, which was the cause for some very acrimonious corresponding between some good Populists and headquarters, although, we at the time, were stverly criticised by both sides for remaining silent, yet J think, that time has proven, that the policy of the committee was best. Headquarters will have to be closed after ihis week but many suggestions have been made by our press and leaders for a conference composed of the members of the national committee, chairman of the state committees, representatives of the reform press, Congressmen of the Fifty-third and Fifty-fourth Congresses, and other leaders in our party to discuss ways and means for conducting an educational campaign from now until the meeting of the next national convention. This 13 very important, because during the short tession of the present Congress and the Fifty fourth Congress questions of great importance will be discussed. The money power is cot yet satisfied; they demand the repeal of the in come tat, the destruction of the greenbacks, and the passage of the n;.t,ciiyl-o.i. kii'vr bill, as outlined bv L-'nu Binner'a Association held in Hil'imore, Md. 1 he tinanc'a' q tesMon will "onie t ti e front, and tin Kepublicaus will b as servile, and d- the bidding of Iferusuey power as much as the D ! iocrats have done. I i ud iition to the Populist deie gation in Congress, I am greatlv indebted for Council to Mr. J. M. D-n e. Mr. 1. Johnson, and l.vron K h ar. .Mr. Devine. as secretary of tin Auieti'. -in I'lioeta! c 1-ej-gue, has loyally. stood b our cause.

Populists, in making a special and rudioal study of economic conditiotie, are veil avsaie that not all theev is of our tunes procetd wholly from one siii:e. (Jar platform has been a protest against the most visible and moot piratical forms of present mo nopoly. At the saint time, and above all else, we have political organization ) i n tile only of suflicient capacity and information to compr--hoi.d the one paramount q.iestion on whii h low d'p'nds 10, oniy thj immediate welfare of the masses, but even the c.vilization and Chris tianity of a great nation. This is the money question the question as to whether the American people shall be permitted lo h:ive the vehi cle of exchanging lahor, and all things j induced by labor, in such a volume that they can live by honest it.dustry and not be turned, with no fait of their own, into beggers and tiamps is paramount to all others. As the demand for money is equal to the demand for all other things, so is the demand for monetary reform equal to the demand for ail other industrial reforms combined. The money question involves all others, and is one half of each industrial question the mind can conceive, I believe we o:i once to organize for ;!it to begin at the great con- ll'Ct of lS'.Mi, and concentrate all our force on the money question. To do this we must have a conference of all our leaders, map out a p- Ucy, arid make a vigorous educational campaign. II. K. Tatheneck, ( hair iimn. Sationul I "oiuiitec. Washington, D.

Tneir tiue will bt rjikeii up in looking after measures ' affecting their cousfituents Mid in debate on the floor. The people have commanded us to break up existing abuses. To obey their will, is to make changes that must be fundamental and permanent. The Democrats have most of the lawyeiscf theSta e Their hope is to break up out re forms by employing t heir legal talent to pick ll.iws in our Legislation. Every act we pass will be subjected to the closest scrutiny of the best Democratic lawyers in the State. After we adjourn it will be too late to aiter or amend or repair breaks. We can not expect Republican or P pu 1 i s t lawyers to stay in Raleigh and pay their own expenfce3and give their time in advising our caucas on law questions. Would it not be well for the Legis lature by joint resolution to employ t'-vo or three lawyers to act as a Bill Committee in advising the Commit tees and officers f the two Houses, and in shaping up into legal form all such measures as may be agreed on by the Fusion Caucas Eminent lawyers can not gel eraily be obtained for professional work without big pay; but have we not in our ranks, lawyers, who would do this for small pay aud look for their reward in the gratitude of the people? We must not spend an unnecessary dollar. Of course the Democratic press would make a loud and empty noise about our having a "third Hous?," employ ing a "steering committee" and pay ing them out of the State Treasury, although it would be doing on a small scale just what the Democrats did on a big scale in the impeach ment of Governor Holdeu. We are not hankering after Democrati praise. The more they abuse us the better the people like us. They have libelled, slandered, abused and rot n egged Marion Butler into the National Senate. Let them "keep it up. Frehutck li. Rice. t'OMINOTO SOUTH CAROLINA. An Immense Colony of Farmers ami Gar-leuei-H to Settle iu Craven County. Pittsburg, Fa., Nov. 30 One of the largest colonization schemes that has been projected in this vicinity h&a been organized by an Alleghany firm, with Tomb, Johnston & Co., in charge. With the financial backing they now have the new colony is ex pected to prove a success. In this event within the next thirty days moie than eighty residents of this city and surrounding towns will leave to take up a permanent resi dence in North Carolina. Farming lands to the extent of 50,000 acres have been leased and purchased in Craven county, at the junction of the Neuse and Trent rivers. The members of the colony are farmers, gardeners and mechanics.

(.Sjiecial to The Cai i asi an.) Washin'o-ox. Nov. J!I. By com mon coiberit poptics have no place in Thanksgiving. For years parti z in success has not v eeu a National or State blessing. It has been ac complished at the expense of fraud, misrepresentation aud ungodliness. Only ad p r d harden' d wretch would associate Thanksgiving with the possession of a fraudulent election certificate. The at m sphere of the ''bull-pen" is not conducive to yodly reflections. But in this forever me in orable year the moral uprising in North Carolina has a significance high above party. It will be con spicuous to-day in the array of Na tional blessing. The victory was even independent of party lines. It was the triumph of tne people, by the people for the people. There is Thanksgiving tor every honest man and good citizen iu the State in the election Of a u n-partizan Judiciary. There is devout Thanksgiving iu the people's vindication of the State from the reproach of dishonest elec tions. THE RESPOXS'BILITY. In our thanksgiving it is to be re membered that victory has great re sponsibilities. When Washington's triumphant but exhausted army was in cantonments on the Hudson inde pendence had been won, but that very success evoked new problems almost as onerous as the struggle with the enemy. The elections in North Carolina imposes obligations which commands united, unselfish, patriotic work. Discord means dis aster and failure. Dispute ana con tention means public condemnation. Division means impotency The peo ple's mandate is plain and unmis takable.' Though almost annihilat ed the Democratic party in the State is formidable enough in desperation to demand the vigilant opposition of the victors. Resolute and harmoni ous counsels should obtain, if the mandate of the people is to be exe cuted in the spirit of its deliverance. A MOKAL TRIUMPH. In North Caroima as elsewhere in th Union the election was a gieat moral triumph. The President sound ed the keynote to the issue when he denounced the controlling faction in the Democratic party as guilty of "perfidy and dishonor"; when he in dignantly demanded to know how, on the record made in Congress, that party could "face th people when b- J '.escribed Peraocratic leaders j.scombiued in "the communism of pelf-" Every count in the indict ment was an issue. The crushing verdict shows that the people love the truth, justice, honor, plighed taith, political piuity. It shows that they are ready to subordinate per sonal and party prejudice to con scn.nce and dutv. SOU E OF THE RESULTS. The revolution has made its deep est impression on the political com plexion of the next Congress. A mi nority party in the present Con gress the Republicans will have more than a two-thirds majority in the o4th Congress. 104 Democrats are returned as elected to the 54th Con gress. This number will be reduced to GO before the expiration of the session. Almost every contested cas -is based upon notorious brazen fraud. Iu mauy cases the incumb ents will abandoned their seats soon er than submit to the humiliation of exposure. In many Southern cases the evidence of fraud is complete and overwhelming. It is a ghastly record of crime. The South suffers irretrivable disgrace in the estima tion of public decency and commou honor. The demand for honest elections in the South is the end of the Southern oligarchy. It is a death blow to Bourbonism. Un less all signs are misleading 1S9G wdl see the first honest election in the South siace the war. RESORT TO REVOLUTION. Revolution is threatened in Ala bama. Force may not k,s employed but a snark may kindle the fires of revolution and stain the State with he blood of its best citizinship. The situation in South Carolina is fully as critical. Speaking of the late election, Senator Butler says: "One thing is very certain if the frauds practiced in the late election should be attempted again, white men, taxpayers, who were disfran chised and cheated will go to the polls with their shoteuns and Win eht-ster rifles and maintain their rights against the lling at every hazard." .No honorable, selt-respect inar, free people will submit long to ballot-box frauds, tyranny ''justifies revolution." The Caucasian shows undisrjutably that it was the deliber ate purpose of the election managers in North Carolina to nullify the will of the people by fraud and disfran chisement. The atrocious frauds al ready exposed puts to the blush the most audacious attempts in Alabama and South Carolina. That the State escaped a condition of anarchy and revolution is not to the credit of the Democratic election managers. It is cause for sincere thanksgiving that it has been saved the reproach and disgrace of a corrupt election and has escaped the peril that would have inevitably followed such a re- .,14.

Notice. ( Advertisement. ) Roxboro, N. C, Nov. 30th 1894. At a meeting of the Republicans and Populist of Person county this day resolutions was passed endorsing S. P. Satterfield of Roxboro N. C. for Engrossing Clerk of the next House of Representatives. Jko. C. Pass, Chairman. J8I rmm AGO- - TO - A CLEAR VIEW OF THE CASE. A Clone OltHerver and Veteran Reformer huuii, up the Situation. The republican party is once more in the saddle. The money powet will control every branch of the government for the next two years; for Mr. Cleveland is as much its willing tool as will be the judicial o legislative branch But at the end of that two years, what? The torna do which has swept the democratic party out of existence will be as an evennrnsr brwze to the cyclone that will strike the republican party iu 18iG. The republican party in power with Mr. Cleveland president means the continuation of the gold standard. Prices will continue to fall, unless every economist in the world is wrong. In 1896 with the factories closed, with a million more men out of employment, with wheat at 30 cents, cotton at 3 cent, the mortgages foreclosed and our western and midile state farmers turned into tenants to foreign landlords, the republican party will have to face a situation much graver than that which confronted the democrats last Tuesday. Will the people then fly back to the democratic pirty for help? The only way for prices to rise under republican rule is to issue two or three hundred millions of gold bonds and inllate the currency with a large issue of national bank notes. Without doubt it is the intention of the leaders of both parties to enact such legislation this winter. That would give time enough to is?ue sufficient bank not s andgettleni n circulation bo aa to somewhat raise prices in 189G and on that whiff of ! prosperity a lepublican president ai d congress could be elected. Morel bonds means more taxes. More bank j notes means more interest, anil pav day for both interest and taxes must c me. What thn? Bond slavery aud American peasants and teuaut farmers. Is there any line of defeuce that can be thrown up by the few patri otic American citizens who under stand political economy that can stop the advance of such conditions upon us? I think there is. As strange as it may seem to some the citadal of our strength is the United States senate. A tattle must be fought there this winter as tierce and prolonged as any recorded iu history. Bonds and back notes must be killed in the United States senate. Our little band of Populists must be prepared to talk, not only fifteen but fifty hours, even if they drop dead in their tracks. Posteri ty will bear them in grateful remeni b ranee. As an assistant force every Pop ulist must put on the full aruior of Cod, go out and tight all the com ing winter f -r his home, his wife and his little ones as he never fought. before. Talk to his neighbors, J s iread scientific economic literature, j but most of all extend the circula tion of reform papers. A weekly paper makes more votes and creates mre public opinion than anything else. If we can prevent the issue of bonds and bank notes the republican party will be hurled into perdition in 189G, and the people will regain their lost heritage. In regard to the recent election there is everything in the result to cheer aud nothing to discourage. The Populist vote has been every where euorm usly increased, Bave in the famine stricken states of Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and South Da kota. Not less than 50,000 votes have been driven out of these states in the last few months, as the hot winds and drouth left no food in them on which these voter could subsist. Ten thousand voters left Kern' district and more than that number Jerry Simpson's. And yet Kem is re-elected The bankers poured money into these and other districts, where helpless men, surrounded by starving women and children, fell before the alternative to take money for th i votes or see their dear ones starve." Even under this awful pressure, th total straight Populist vote was re ductd but slightly in only one state. The men who thus stood firm in the Valley Forge of contest, will not be forgotten by the historian. On the other band there are im mense gains in all other states and especially in the south. The men who have enlisted in this war will win the battle or die in the trenches. t. h tibbles The National Watchman and The Caucaslot both one year for $1.75. S2 DAY - PRESS COMMENTS.
