MARION BUTLER, EDITOR AND 1'1'CI'. WE MUST HAVE A DAILY PAPER. No reform can be secured and no movement for the uplifting of the State can. be pushed tofiucwm u ulcus the ears of the people can be reached. The truth must be gotten before the people either through speakers or through the press. A speaker can reach only a email portion of the jxople of a coui.ty in one speech, and hid speech will l.e misrepresented by a hostile press to those who did not near him. There fore to reach all the people through speakers is almost impossible, aad if it were, it is too expensive to le feasible. The weekly press is a power for general educational work, but the daily press baa a tremendous advant age. To a certain extent the news which the daily press sends out shapes the news and editorals of the weekly press. In short we have all seen fo some time to what a disad vantage the reform movement has suCVtdnot having a dai'y paper. The daily press suppresses news to a greater or less extent, and when the daily press suppresses news nine times out of ten the weeklies never get it and if they do it is stale. The reform legislature will meet in a tew weeffs. This body should have its work reported to the people of the State by friendly hands. Even our reform weekly papers can not get reliable news from its proceedings unless it is reported by a friendly daily paper. It will be oue of the most important sessions of the General Assembly ever held and the people must have a full and just re port of its actious. Therefore we must have a daily mner nublished in Raleieh. It must be started lv the time the Legislature meets. No one man in the reform light is able to start and run a daily alone. Now let every friend of reform in everv county in the State at once subscribe stock to run such a daily We ought to have a corporation with $20,OG0 capital behind this pa per. It certainly will not do to start with less than $10,000 capital stock Only a part of this stock need to be paid in at first and let the remainder of the stock subscribed stand as a backing for the company. There are a few men in nearly every county in the State who can take as much as $500 stock. There are a number in every couuty who can take $100 stock and pay in at least ten per cent or $10 to start with. There are several men in every neigh borhood iu the State who can take $50 stock and pay iu ten per cent or $5 to start with. But men who can't do this much can do something. Everybody can do something. A man who works for 50 cents a day can take $10 stock and pay in $1 to start with. A daily People's Party paper is a political necessity. It can be started, it must be started, it shall be started. Now let every friend of reform and good government put his shoulder to the wheel and help. Let every reformer who' reads this article at once write us that he will take stock and state how much. Be sides see your neighbors and et them to take stock and send up at least one more subscription with yours. Don't wait a week to act. Let us hear from you at once. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DEFY WILL OF THE PEOPLE. THE In another column see a letter giving the outrageous methods adopt ed by the county Commissioners ot Wake county to deprive men of their offices after they were duly elected. Read the article carefully, it tells the story. The machine gets more tyranical and corrupt each day. A letter just received from a prom inent citizen of Greenville, Pitt Co., says: "Our county Commissioners acted the part of tyrants. They coin the greatest outrage that has ever been perpetrated against our people by refusing to accept the bonds of our sheriff and Treasurer. Nothing like it has ever been seen in our county. Our peo ple are indignan and Justly so. Good and sufficient bonds were tendered by our officers elect, but it mattered not, the Commission ers had, it is believed, resolved long before their meeting not to accept the bonds and when they met they acted accordingly. Men who lx-foreojx! the rejieal of the county irov-frnnient sysUru now dwlare ojiealy in favor of its ref-eal. We inuxt Lave loin mi'wioners who are mijoiiaib!e to the j-ojile anl not to the Chairman of the leiocTatic Ex Connuitu-e. They took the taxlwts and were jfovemed by that iu pMsiug upon the amount of miri-ties justified to. Nothing iik- this ha.1) ever be-n done or known here til! tiow. Our ."her iff had a good oond and was not exjjM.-ting su h action. Hejisked for only two day more time to make the bond any amount the ComniiaHioiiers might rjtiire. The jii.miion-n refused. They then declared the offi( a-ant and proceeded to elect a man and gave him thirty UP) days to ;;et up his bond A free people will not stand such tyranny and injustice. The issue ha,i Ixen forced upon us," We have received similar letters from other counties. The machine has directed its efforts chiefly against our Sheriffs and where they could (under any shadow of pretext, just or un just.) they have refused to accept their bonds. On the 0th day of Nov. the people elected a Legislature to crush this odiou3 machine and they are every day gaining further reasons why it should be done. The county Commissioners in the hands of the democratic machine are simply tyrants to defeat and defy the popu lar will. I't us hear fio-n every countv where the Commissioners have acted as th'V have doie in Wak and Pitt counties. THE PEOPLE'S PARTY GAINED ALL OTH. ER PARTIES LOST. An estimate made by that careful an hoi if y, The New York Outlook, gives the following figures: Democratic vote in 1802, at Nov. elections .",."."4,()00 Kepnliliejui vote in 180-, November elect ion .',17" ,',,, 1,012,000 People's patty vote, 1802. Prohibition party, in 1802. 2i;;.ooo At the November of suit was as follows: Democratic vote Republican vote 1'eople's party vote Prohibition vote 1804, the re- 4,100,000 .".,100.000 l,:;.'o,ooo 2.".0,000 The Democrats have thus lost more than a million votes, and the Prohi bitionists 1:5,000; while the Kepubli cans, strange to say, lost 75,000 votes. Inn l'cojile s party is the only one of the four which has increased its strength. The Atlanta Daily Press, Tom Watson's paper, commenting on the above figures says: "Our popular vote in 1802 was such a paralyer to the politicians that the only comfort they could extract from the situation was the dolorou? croak, "Vou can't do that again." Having held our million vote", at tlio recent national elections, and having added 1508,000 besides, we can listen patiently and smilingly while the politicians croak, "Bet you it can't bo done any more." THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE. The next annual meeting of the Supreme Counsel of the N. F. A. & I. IT. will be held in the city of Ral eigli, oii the first Tuesday in Febru arv, 1805. The corner stone of the Polk Monument will be unvailed on this occasion with fitting ceremonies. Only about half enough money has so far been raised to build this monument. Let every friend of re form, and evtry admirer of Col. Polk, now put forward new efforts to raise as much as possible for this purpose before the meeting of the National Alliance. The Democratic press of the State is trying very hard to create dissen tion in the ranks of those who won in the late political fighf. One day they say that "Butler is bossing the whole job," the next day they say that "the Republican party has swal lowed up the Populist party," .tc. We have also been informed that Democrats are approachiEg Republi cans and then Populists making cer tain propositions. But we rise now to say that what these Democratic politicians and papers had to say during the campaign had no effect on the people then and shall have no effect on us now. The co-operative Legislature will act as harmoniously as the two State committees did in the late campaign. We won the confidence and support of the people in the late campaign without Democratic advice and in spite ot Democratic methods, and we trust and believe that the next Gen eral Assembly will do the same thiug. Renew your subscription to The Caucasian. The paper is strictly cash in advance and every subscrib er will be marked off as soon as his subscription expires. This is busi ness and no paper should be run on any other plan. Certainly a paper that depends upon the people for support cannot be run any other way. Papers that are backed by monopolies can afford to continue to send youa paper whether you pay for it or not. The monopolies are willing to send you the paper free to get you to read their views. The Caucasian is a people's paper and the people must support it We are not able to send it to those who do not help to support it. Renew at oncejand don't miss a copy. Shall we have a daily paper or shall we not have a daily that ia the question. The people can have it if they will. Will you Jet monop olies run dailies for you or will you run one for yourself. We can run a daily paper if we are competent to run the affairs of this State govern ment. Now is our opportunity. Let every man become a stockholder iu this enterprise. NOTICE. Let every man who will take stock in a publishing com pan j to run a daily paper in Raleigh write to the undersigned within the next week saying how much he will take, and that he will pay down at least ten jer cent, of the stock subscribed before the legislature meets. That is, if you take $100 stock you will be expected to pay down as much aa $10 by or before the opening of the Legislature in January. Address the undersigned at lUleigh, N. C. Marion ISutlkh. I't every one, who can, take stock ia tl e People's party daily to be, published in Raleigh; and every one can take some stock. If we have a daily, it must be a daily for the peo ple, therefore the people must rally to it suimort. CALL . COS IKKtMt. Chairman Tauhriicrk Summons 1 omlit- t Mrrt for Consultation.

TWO SECTIONS Ol'THE KL.KCTION lAff. Method, N. C, Nov. 23rd 1894. Mb. Editor, Dear Sir: The column of Supreme Court decisions in your pa per of the 15th is very timely, and if the township Chairmeii and others of the P. P. will take action in the matter I think there are some people who will wish they had never teen the tools of the g. o. p. There is also one or two sections of the election law I would call the attention of those who were robed of their votes by the registrars and judges of election. Section 2707 of the election law says: Any registrar or judge of election or any county canvasser or commissioner registrar of deeds, clerk or sheriff failing or neglecting to make returns and perform the duties required of him shall be fined not less than five hundred nor more than oue thousand dollars, or imprisoned not more than six nor less than two months at the discretion of the court and every such officer for every such offence shall forfeit and pay the sum of five hundred dollars to be recov erd in the name and to the use of the state on motion of the Attorney Gen eral in the Superior Court of Wake county ten days previous. Notice in writing of such intended motion having been given to such officer by the Secretary of State tha proceed ings thereon shall be summary and if any matter of fact shall be in issue the same shall be tried at the first term and on such trial or for any other purpose in the prosecution of such motion to judgmtnt the certi ficate of the Secretary of State or the Governor as the case may be of the particular default on which the mo tion is founded shall be received as competent prima, facie evidence to prove the same. Section '2708 provides that any officer whatever who shall wilfully or of malice neglect to perform such duty, act, matter or thing shall be found guilty of a felony &c &c. See section 2708, and shall be fined not less than one thousand nor more than five thousand dollars and be impris oned not less than one nor more than three years and shall be disabled from holding any office of profit or trust under the authority of the State. I think the above two sections brought before the Nonpartisan Ju diciary which the P. P. have elected will make some of the rascals squeal and be a warning to others in the future not to do such bare faced acts neither at the bidding of the Sim mon's or Pou's or any other rascal. Hoping those interested will take im mediate action in the matter. Pro Bono Publico. P. S. Those officers who did not sign the returns in order to have them thrown out are like Judge Whitaker said before the Wake County Can vassing Board. They are on the road to prison. I hope those inter ested will see that they get thab. Subscribe to The Caucasian $1.00 per je&r. k DiapiitMt Ahead ForJIc Demut-rats.

Mention was made above of the fact that Marion Butler who planed and t rgani.ed the great battle and resultant victory in North Carolina, and Zeb Vance Walser who will be one of the leaders in the next Legislature, and Judges Starbuak and Cable who were elected on the uon-partizan Judicial ticket were all at the State University together. They are all young men only a little oyer thirty years. Many of the men elected to the Legislature are young men. 'I he two United States Senators will be young men. The two defeated Senators were old men. Ransom being over 70 and Jarvis being over sixty. The victory in North Carolina is largely a young man's victory. Besides it will drive the fossils to the rear in the Democratic party. The People's party is an inviting field for the young men of the Stale. JoSATIIN Kl'WARlS. WHAT THK VICTOKY MKASS. New Hlood, New Men and New Methods to the Front The Outlook for the SHate Is now Kncouraging. Editor Caucasian: The recent political contest, audits result was almost unprecedented in the history of State politics. While some are apprehensive that the best interest of tV.e State will not be subserved, there are many who earnestly desired a change, and they have no apprehension as to the consequences. This was a contest in which the old time politician was ignored, relegated to the shades of private life, probably there to re main while North Carolina will move for ward under -the influences of advanced thought and more active energies. There was much lukewarrnness in the Democratic ranks, due to the dominating and coercive methods of machine politicians, who be lieved that only a few were capable of man aging the affairs of the State. No man in the State in recent years has done more to change the condition of things than Mr. Butler, who is "to the manor born" and has, we do not doubtthe best in terest of the State at heart, lie has demon strated, by his work, that he is a man o,u. perior ability, possessing qualities that tit him for a great leader. However, he out generaled all of the old line politicians and won a great yict ory. The tidal wave has ushered in new thought, new life, new energy, and it betakens good to see the young men come to the front in the great movement for reform. In years past they have to a great extent, been proscribed by the old politicians, who have held the reins of government. Just in this connection, it is not amiss to refer to the brilliant Walter Page, who leit North Carolina because her young men do not receive proper recognition, and are not appreciated for what they can do in advanc ing the interest of the State. Mr. Page has won fame of a national character. Of the young men now active in reform work it will not be disparaging to others to mention Mr. James B. Lloyd of Edgecombe, who has been tireless in his efforts at reform. He deserves liberal recognition at the hands of his party. With wise council and conservative ac tion I can see no reason why North Caroli na should not take rank with the other leading States and thereby achieve her des tined future. Observer CAPT. LLOYD FOR CHIKF CLERK OF THE SENATE. To The Caucasus: We are requested to nominate Capt. Jas. B. Lloyd, of Edgecombe, for Chief Clerk of the Senate. Mr. Lloyd's well known devo tion to the reform cause and many sacrifices in this direction entitle him to favorable recognition for his unswerving fidelity.

Eunou Caucasian: That was a wise saying of Lincoln when he declared: "Vou can fool some of the people all the time, all of the people some of the time, but you can ct fool all the people all "the time." Th:? Democratic party is now in a position to appreciate the full force of thistiuth. It has fooled all the members of the paity with platform promises, but it will never do so agiiu. The plain people have begun to use a little plain language, and they have enough common sense to do their own thinking henceforth. Every time I look at the platforms of the two old parties I am remind ed of the Delphian oracle, which when consulted gave such impracti cal answers as this. When Croesas first sent to Delphi to inquire of the oracle whither he should be success ful in a war against the Persian Iving, the oracle told him that he ' would destroy a grtat kingdom." lie did indeed destroy a great king dont" but contrary to expectation, it was his own. Our modern platform writers vie with each other in their effort to construct platforms that can be construed as favoring or op posing certain things, as occasion may requiie different interpretations. They believe that "language was made to conceal thought" and that buncomb and humbuggery in the party platforms are sine qua non. The p'atform of the People's party presents a striking contrast to this Delph'iin ambiguity. Xo houe3t man can read that platform and construe it in any other way than that iu which it was intended to be understood. There is no double faced hypocracy here. The tune is not distant when both the Demo cratic and the Republicans will be compelled to adopt honest platforms if they wish to engage the serious consideration of tlie American peo ple. Ajax. Whitakehs, X. C, Nov. 29ch'04. Editor Caucasian-: Soon the General Assembly will u.eet and there will of necessity be many offices which will h'ivc to be rilled and no doubt there will be many candidates for each position. There is one Mr. Editor, w ho was formerly of this place, but now of Aulander, Bertie Co., JS'. C, we would place in nomination for Heading Clerk of the Senate. A man who has been, from ics first inception, heart and soul in the reform move ment, who has never faltered in his allegiance to its principles, a man who has never asked for an office and whese modesty would prevent him from urging his just claims. A man f ully qualified in every way f jr this po.-i ion, and a man who has made as great sacrifices and done as much in prrportici to his means and ability as any man in this State and country, that man is Paul S. Petider, formerly of this place, but now of Aulander, Bertie Co., X. C. The many friends he has made by his de- 1 votion and unremitting efforts, both in Edgecombe, Xash and Halifax counties would be more than proud, if this act of merited jastice co ild !:e done him.

It will be noticed espec ially how the tools of the machine took advantage of an infamous law to send up false returns to be count ed by the State Board to pervert the will of the people and to rob two so licitors, who were elected, of their office1-.

Thy argued that for the State Canvass ing Board to be blindly governed by the mistake made by the irresponsi ble Clerk of County Canvassing Board in the face of all of this evi dence presented, would bo to rob a man of the office to which he was elected to defraud the will of the people and to set a most dangerous and outrageous prece dent; they said further, that if the Board refused to recognize this evi dence and proceeded to the clerical mistake of the irresponsible clerk of the County Canvassing Board that it would not be neeessary in the fu ture for a party that w anted to com mit fraud to stuff poll boxes, but that thy could simply have the Clerk, of the returning Board, by one stroke of the pen to defeat or to elect any one that they chose. After the argument was finished, the State Canvassing Board retired for consul tation when they returned the Gov ernor acting as spokesman for the Board said, that three of the Board, a majority had decided that they could not correct the error. Mr. Sea well and Mr. Bernard will of course sue f r their offices in the Couits before a Jury where they will surely succeed, if there is any justice to bo had iu the Courts.
