Ihe Populist State convention today re- ; jected all advances from those who make silver the only issue in the nest campaign, uen. J. r weaver, who led one wing of the party iu this State, and who wished to assist in the formation of a silver party, was badly defeated. The following ticket was named: GovernorSylvester Crane, Daven port. Lieutenant-Governor A. IC. btar- rett, Humboldt Supreme Judge T. W. ivory, Glenwood. State Superintendent L. R.Tabor, Guthrie Centre. Railroad Commissioner E. J. Sea son, Woodbury county. Ths platform says: Recognizing with satisfaction the expres sion of the individual opinion among citi zens, irrespective of the party, iufaorof tne restoration oi silver io us conuuuu mi , place in the coinage of the country at the j ratio of 10 to 1, we extend the right hand of ! fellowship to all men who are willing to ; join with us in the dethronement of the . money power of Wail street and Europe, ! and the emancipation of the producing elates of the world. . i We further demand that until such time f t: . . k as a governmem sysiem iu unauu ; of finances can be naUonaniara1 W -quired to ! give security to depositors lor all money re ceceived for deposit. THIS SOUNDS BAD. The Caucasian is not Prepared to Assert it as a Fact But it Slay be feo. Equity, a vigorous Populist paper of California, prints the following : "We have forborne to note the fact heretofore, because it is diflicult to speak of it without too fierce a display of Indignation, liut the evidence is accumulating until it cannot be ignor-1 ed, and must be dealt w ith as a proba- couiu vote, ana as mis is in narmony bility, that the reform press is to be with our system of government by muzzled in the next campaign. The which representatives of the major next Congress will undoubtedly deal ity rule, therefore each man is bound with measures calculated to exclude to accept this platform and vote for Populist and kindred Pbhcations candidates from the mails. If such a bill is passed, J niavU9n,l will aio-n it. ft therefore stands political reformers in hand to be prepared for this contingency, and to take every advantage of the interval yet remaining to circulate reform lit erature; and also take the present op portunity to prepare for the crisis that Biich an act of despotism will immedi ately provoke. "We believe that this or some kindred act of hostility will be committed by the traitors now in possession of the government. It looks as if the god standard men, doubtful of a victory at the polls, but strong in the confidence of superior organization ; the present possession of all the means of victory, including the army, the navy and the money; and especially strong in their usurped possession of the talismanic watchword ''Law and Order," mean to nrovoke this verv crisis. When free speech is stilled, riots are certain to eixue. No matter how prudent and peace-loving a man may be, when lieia driven into a last corner to be chained like a dog, he is likely to turn upon his oppressor with a deadly weapon in his h.iiul: ana tne nrst serious common hutween the opposing forces will Have more disastrous ana wiae-spreau reruns . . i . than the fall of Sumpter iu ltsbi. fThia is startling. We do not know upon what Equity basis its etatemcnt, but it is quite poesiDie . . . . - z - that such a thing may Happen. Cleveland and the goldbug ring have ordered the officeholders to howl for the gold standard whether they want to or not, and they are howling.

PEOPLE'S PARTY PLATFORM INDEPENDENT IN POLITICS. A 'iitwt Delivered - by Mr. Lucia M. ItrUtoi, of w York, t the Stat l"il erUy Commencement. Among the orations deliveied by the graduating class of the State University at the Commencement were a number of much merit. Following is one by Mr. D. M. Bris tol, of New York- It shows that there is a breaking away from the tradition of paity infallibility. The positions taken are fortified with clear cut logic, and the Calxasian commends the speech to the consid eration of men of all callings and ages. Mr. Bristol said: Independence in politics is so rap idly gaining favor and bids fair to be such a potent factor in the future political life of this nation that it may be well for us to consider briefly the life and value of this movement. Its very existence and progress prove to me that it has claims ON THE THOUGHTFUL ATTENTION of every citizen. It has grown out f a more or less rigid party system. Is it a deeper interpretation of polit cal life? If so it demands our sup port. If not it demands our condem nation. Politics and religion tend to seek the same level as the life of the peo ple Both are more or less the ex pression of that life. A rigid party system interprets one phase of the life and thought of our people. In dependence in politics interprets an other. Which is mora in harmonv with the American ideal of govern ment? with the spirit of the nine teenth century? Parties are differently defined by these two schools of thought. One looks upon a party as a permanent i;ia.i vFjitjr ui guveiuiueui. j.uio j is well expressed by Bishop Merrell I when he says: There is no foundation for a political partv .,. 1 At A '-1 . 1 I L iu iaim upon uiai 13 timer uroau eiiougu of achieving success'intcontrollintr the affairs ot the nation, exc-pt some principle of con struing the Constitution of tne United States, which is sufficiently far-reaching to touch every department of the government, and to determine the character and genius of our institutions. No temporary issue, iu legislation, however urgent, no isolated moral sentiment, however valuable in itself, nor any sectional or race prejudice, how ever pow rf ul or inveterate will serve to justi fy or sustain a separate political organization : .1 r .1 .. . : 1 long enough to assure success. Sus,h a principle, it is claimed, was , ue Dasjs 0f the organization of the present great political parties; one demandiner a strict, the other a lib C3 ' r " " , tion. In theory this view makes a tu otnto t eKin.t-. tho Stt tn thp win ol the majoritv. The individu- al as such does not coant. This sys tern interprets the unifying, central izing national tendency of our polit ical life. The other school holds that a party is a voluntary organization of citi zens laboring together for the tri- umph of a political measure organ ! ized to appeal to the ballot from the j decision of the people's representa j tives. A party, according to this ! idea, is not and CANNOT EE A PERMANENT ORGANIZA i TION I demanding the unqualified allegi j ance of a part of the State. Its birth and life depend on the exist I ence of some of our vital questions j which demands solution, and on j which all its members are united. I Its work as a party, ceases with the sol tion of that question. It may . 7 . remain in power after that question is settled, bat lt.has no absolute claim on s members. When another great t.- .i nnor ae.rpe on question arises, all cannot agree on this, although they were united on the one which gave birth to the or- . . . eanization. There must be a new division or the old parties must hold together by their force of organiza tion. The oartizan politician steps in and asserts that the solution offered by the party leader and INCORPORATED IN THE PLATFARM is in harmony with that spirit which gave birth to the party, and which has carried it triumphant through half a century of prosperous rule. This platform, he says, was adopted , "J representatives for whom each man owing allegiance to the party WHETHER HIS INDIVIDUAL. OPINIONS are represented or not. The independent asserts that the Therefore" does not follow; that the representative system in which all are bound to abide by the decis ion of the majority rule, when ap plied to party organization leads to reductio ad adsurdum, for from the mo ment when a man yieHs to the ma jority at the subpro-primary, or a few yards further back, wnere the committee is appointed to make out the slate of those who are to be nom inated at the primary, from that mo ment he is no longer a free man but A MOST ABJECT SLAVE. Under the rigid party system the ballot is no longer the people's weapon of defense against the un scrupulous politician, it a man is of the minority at the caucus which sends delegates to the convention, if it adopts a policy contrary to his views, at the polls he must support a candidate WHO DOES NOT REPRESENT HIM and one bound by party pledges to support a measure to which he is op posed. This is a party loyalty! This is representative (!) government Shall he not rather have the right to leave his party when it ceases to represent him and . VOTE WITH ONE WHICH DOSf AEd here we have the old antimony of the absolute and the individual of predestination and free-will; of Union and States' Rights? Then the movement which has tended to rigid party organization and yet grants to the individual certain su prem rights, is tne very basis o our national policy. , While this na tion is composed c f forty-four States indissolubly bound together forming Continued on Fourth Page. ft im m from 5 THE PEOPLE.

For the Caucasian. Fallston, N. C, June 8. The little machine of this place seems to be a regular dog crusher. We were utterly surprised the other day to see a bench-legged pUice " trottiner along on the street. We wonder yet how it did escape But we sup- pose they bated to put their machine in motion for so small a product. . This machine was formerly known as the "Democratic machine," but some of our rustic heroes have re- cently changed its name and are calling it the "dog machine" A very suitable name, we think, for the OCCaSlOn. borne of our county braves came into town the other day and knocked the machine out of gear. They got into a regular fisticuff with ii and came very near demolishing the whole apparatus. So it is seen that our county braves got the best of the dog pelters and came out victorious, j.uey wem nome rejoicing imougn minus six dollars and a dog), wonder- ing if they would kill any more dogs It looks as though the machine is afraid of a dog reformation, espe- cially on the part of those belonging to the Fops. 1 reckon they are afraid they will reform and howl down Democracy. We believe if they'd curl their tails and yelp up a little, that they could beat old Grover's administration. We are proud to state that the Caucasian is still making converts for the Populist party. It has caused the scales to fall from another one of our Democratic neighbor's eyes, so he can now see clear how to pull the mote out ot somebody else s eye He says he had been a Democrat all his life and sucked Democratic milk. But he's got enoujrh of it and says he is going to range on trie x'opuiist ranch and see if his digestion will be Away back in Jeffersonian times this Democratic milk that they love to boast about so well, was pure and unadulterated. But it won't do now. It is so adulterated that it is making the people sick. Better all quit it and tase sometning tnat is pure ana wholesome. Ihe Fops are on a boom m old leveiana. .nvery one you meet says he is stronger than ever betore. You meet a good many new ones, too. Every now and then an eld party liner flops over and tells us he is done with the two old parties. If we can succeed in getting one of 'em to read tbe Caucasian we count him our's, sure. We believe that the Democratic party has diminished at least 20 per cent in tnis county since tne election, The people are not going to tolerate a party that has defrauded them out of their rights and are trying to hold office against the majority of the honest voters in the county. Long live the Caucasian that its good work may go -on till deliver- ance comes. A Pop.

GEORGIA POPULISTS. They Have no Craze They are the Heat People and Will Stand Firm. Hon. Wm. L. Peek, of Georgia, writing to a western paper on the political situation in his State, de clares the statement that Mr. Ciisp or any other Democrat, with the pro fession of promise making and promise breaking, could induce the Populists of Georgia to return to the foM of DemoCracyt so called, or the fragments of his party wreck, is an insult to the intelligence of the Popu lists. Mr. Peek says Neither Mr. Crisp, nor any member Qf Congress from this State dare meet the average Populist of Georgia on the stump on the money question. I want to say there is no Populist craze in Georgia, but a well organ- lzed party, steady, strong and with vigorous growth. For years before We planted the tree of Populism in this State, the soil was dug deep, fertilized with the love of country, pulverized with equal rights to all and special privileges to none; and she is bringing forth good fruit. In 1892, four months after our organ! zation, we numbered 70,000 by the count of the old party. We polled then 90,UUU fair and square. In 1894 we numbered above 90,000 by the count of the old party. We polled over 125,000. Yet with all the in- timidations, methods and strategies 0f the dying old parties and office holders, if Georgia had her rights under a fair count, the Populists would be holding the reins of the State to-day. 1 o a. ii TI 1 a. - m A.

The case was heard by Judge Ooff, who granted an injunc tion which declared that the rt iris- ration laws should not be in force and should not govern elections in that State. This decision created a terrific commotion in South Carolina on account of its bulldozing and au toeratic nature. An appeal was taken to the United States Circuit court of Appeals at Richmond. In this court the case was heard by Chief Justice Fuller and Judges Sey mour and Hughes. This court de cided that Judge Goff was in error t declared that the courts had no right to interfere with the reguU tions of the legislature in a general way. It held that a court might pass upon tne constitutionality of aws, but could do so only as an in cident to the protection of private rights: and that it could not under take to regulate a question of public policy when power was given to th egislature to regulate that question. n substance, the decision is tbat the people elect the legislature; the leg islature makes the laws governing public policy; and when the people do not like such laws they have the right and power to elect another leg islature which can correct what is not in accordance with the public demand. In giving his opinion Judge Hughes said: "I can imagine notbine more rernidou than a direct participation bv the judiciary dv judicial action in tne pontics ot the h ple.

"Secretary Hoke Smith, who returned upon the death of Secretary Gresham from a trip to Georgia, feels much en couraged by the evidences he discov ered in that State of the gradual subsi dence of the silver craze. Mr. Smith said to a reporter : There are men in sound money who were talking silver sixty days ago. I find men who are wonting tor salaries are beginning to wonder how the free coi nage of si Iyer could benefit them, and"are discovering tnat to reuuee tne purcnasinsr power of the dollar would be like reducing tbeir salaries. My personal observation has been limited to Georgia, but from the re ports received from other sections of tne country I judge tbat the same thing is occurring elsewhere. I do not mean to say tnat there Is not a stronz silver sentiment in Georgia, but I do not tmna any one will deny that the cause of sound money has made great gams uuring tne last two monms. Mr. Smith was asked whether the Memphis convention had produced any enect in tne south, lie replied "Its effect has been good, undoubtedly. but many of tne southern people would nave oeen better pleased utbeconven tion had declared in favor of the repeal oi tne io per cent tax upon State banks. The South wants more money for local use ana believes it can best be secured through the State banks. I believe tbat the repeal of this tax would el i mi nate the silver question from politics in tne southern states." Those who are not familiar with the flopping, turn coat record of the News and Observer are no doubt puzzled to know how he can claim to be for f re- silver, and at the eame time puff Hoke Smith as his gold bug candidate for President KINDLY ASK A NEIGHBOR TO BECOME A SUBSCRIBER.
