The Asheville Kegister in an edi
tonal last week in wbieli it goes oat
of itt way to refer to the member
of the People's Tarty an "Our Hu-
colic Krienl," komi y sayiag:
"We are in favor of co-operation
just so long as our I'opuliat friend
are reasonable in their demands; bat
if they become obstreperous, we Re
publicans will simply step in and
clear the field."
The People's I'aity has named but
one condition to co operation. The
people of North Carolina are op
posed to the single gold standard
and every patriot in America is op
posed to it.
m m
Therefore the People's Party makes
the "reasonable" proposition to co
operate against the infamous British
Gold standard policy. The Peo
ple's Party wants co-operation, bat
wants co-operation for the good and
co-operation against the bad. The
People's Party can not co operate
with those who insist upon voting
and working to put a goldbug in the
White House. If that is "unreason
able" then we are proud of being
"unreasonable;" if that is "obstrep
erous," then we will continue to be
'obtreperous.
In conclusion we might say that
no party that insists upon support
ing " goldbug for President, will do
much toward "clearing the field" in
North Carolina.
,
The majority of the voters of this
State will vote to strike down the
wrongs of British gold tyranny.
For this we will co-operate with
every patriot in the State. We will
fight any man or party that upholds
and supports the British gold policy.
A LETT Kit AND AN ANiSWKK.
Kl.tewbere we publish a circular
letter issued by Chairman Butler,
and a reply to same from Mr. M. L.
1X7 l a r .
woou, 01 ierue county, we give
space to them because there is no ob
jection to their publicity and because
we desire that the readers of The
Caucasian shall see them together.
A perusal of Senator Butler's letter
will olearly show the action of the
State executive committee at its last
meeting. Both the matter under
discussion and conclusions arrived
at were thought to be of too much
importance to be finally determined
by the committee, and henee the
chairman .sought to ascertain the
opinion of the people by sending out
circular letters to the county chair
men and to a number of members of
the party.
Now let attention be given to this
par.t of the letter :
"OCR COMMITTEE WANTS TO K50W
1? YOC INDORSE THIS PLAN TOR A
NON-PARTISAN ELECTORAL TICKET,
i'lieuued against any goldbug can
didate for President. The com
SUTTEE WOULD ALSO BE CLAD OT ANY
SUGGESTION YOU CAN MAKE FOR A
BETTER PLAN."
A more direct appeal to the people
for advice and suggestion from the
people could not have been made;
and. therefore it must have required
a, wild stretch of the imagination
and! a woeful distortion of language
to have enabled any man to see any
thing dictatorial or "autocratic" on
hU fc A 'it At..
uuw pik ui cuuvr me cnairman or
the committee. The action of the
committee was not made public for
the very reason that it was desired
rat to know whether the rank and
lie of the party would approve it or
not and there was no way to ascer
tain this except by correspondence
with county chairmen and some in
aiw. uwium. is uf 'he party.
We cordially concede to Mr. Wood
the full right to his opinion, but w ,
dp think he went a little beyond ih e
point of justification in the use jf
such pbrases as "Is the People's- Pr tr
ty to be directed and controlled by
the people belonging to the party 0r
by the State Executive commit el"
The very essence of the chaarsa an's
Itter is. a. wish that the peeplks may
decide what is to be done. Ttovt that
letter any discerning, 2md.bc inded
man must see that th poor 1 are
asked to direot the action of tb e ciom.
mittee. We fail to sea how at yt'king
oould be- further, removed fro m a
apirit of aatocracy.ox commit tee on
trpltban this.
t .
Mr. Wood, who is not a c ounty
chairman, received one o th se cir
culars of inquiry. He has ,ee a prop.
r to reply in circular form and al
low it to get into Democrat! A news
papers. . It seems nnr.ec jssary to
point out the fact that Vlr. Wood has
sought to misrepresent tb position
of the committee. U mi h. be prop
erly urged that the abus f confi
dence reposed in him is a sufficient
answer to anything he may say.
One thing which seems to ns to be
very clear is that some one with a
more ennning hand than Mr. Wood's
worded his letter in part at least,
and that person is very anxious to
be governor. Bat be that as it may;
the reply can do no harm as long as
chairman Butler's letter is read
along with it. His letter shows that
the State committee is standing for
principle and good government and
that it is unwilling to enter into any
eo-operation without full assurance
of support of a policy along that
line.
THE SILVKB CONVENTION.
The National Silver Convention
which assembled in Washington last
week was an earnest, deliberate, in
telligent and determined representa
tive body. The delegates came from
nearly all the States and they were
all of the same mind, inspired by
the same common patriotic purpose.
The convention determined without
a discordant note to put principle
above party, and in the coming cam
paign make a common fight against
the gold gamblers Once the con
vention assembled the determina
tion was quickly reached that the
remonetization of silver could be ef
fected only by independent politi
cal action and the election of a sil
ver man to the Presidency.
With this question settled the
convention had only to deal with
details. The entire meeting was
harmonious; the delegates were ju
bilant, enthusiastic and confident.
There was no boasting, but there
was enough plain talking to scare
silver Democrats and silver Republi
cans out of the bushes. It was a
business meeting, and both old par
ties so understood it. It will meet
again in joint session at St. Louis
July 22. That date and place was
named by the People's Party Na
tional Executive Committee at St.
Louis, last week, and adopted by
the Silver Convention.
The People's Party Convention
and the Silver Convention will meet
as separate bodies, with a common
understanding to nominate the same
II I a m wv -
canaiaates ior president and Vice-
President. The money question will
be the paramount issue. All other
issues will be subordinate to it. A
ticket will be named without regard
to past party identification and one
last heroic effort will be made to
emancipate the. people from the in
A A At A
satiate greed or. American monopo
lists and the grinding tyranny of
British gold domination.
North Carolina was represented
by Senator Marion Butler, Dr. Mott,
B. F. Keith, and J. H. Pearson, of
Burke. Dr. Mott was elected Chair
man of the National Committee. IriH
warmly recommending him to the
convention for the chairmanship?
Senator Butler paid a high tribute
to his ability as an organizer and to
his inflexible integrity as a man.
Mr. Keith, of Wilmington, one of
the most active and pronounced sil
ver Democrats in the State' was se
lected'as the State Member of the Na
tional Committee.
TSEIMrStQCAMlTDtAW.
We note from the Congrsaaioaal
Record that Senator Pritehnrd said
a few days since on the floor of the
Senate, that North Carolina is a Re
publican State and that the Kepub
licans would carry the State with an
honest election. If this is Senator
Prit chard's opinion why should he
wint eo-operation in the coming
campaign. We have an honest elec
tion law now and the next election
will probably be fair.
We also note from the Record that
Senator Butler arose and while he
did not waste any time in discussing
parties, he told the Senate that North
Carolina was a free silver State and
that it would not give a single elec
toral vote in the next election to
any goldbugor President.
Senator Butler is right. This year
North Carolina will give eleven elec
toral votes for a President who is
an American patriot and who stands
right on the financial question. The
majority of the voters of the State
endorse the resolution passed by the
silver convention held in Raleigh on
the 25th of last September. If the
People's Party shall co-operate with
any other jparty in me coiuuig
campaign, it will be on the ba-

A DEMOCRAT CHARGED WITH
BKZZIJEMENT.
A report is out to the effect that
Mr. W. A. Chappell, former Demo
cratic county superintendent of
Wake county, has been presented by
the grand jury for embezzlement.
The presentment is . based on the
presumption that Mr. Chappell re
ceived fees for the examination of
teachers which ought to have been
turned into the county treasury, and
which were not tnrned in but retain
ed by Mr. Chap poll.
A mean and lov intimation comes
from a Democrat ic source that this
action is intended as a counter-irritant
to the cenvic tion of Brown and
Satterfield in a partisan, political
way. If this is the animus that is
to inspire effort fto discover and pun
ish wrong, what is to become of the
country4. It is Itandly possible that
such an idea couJd have originated
in anything but Democratic brain
We have no doubt that this mat
ter v rould have been kept dark as
the grave if tb books and records
ha , been in cbarge of Democrats,
bv t since they are not, and since the
brooks appear to show reasons for
V resentment, must an anti-Democrat
oe criticised and condemns d for dis
closing a probable wrong and allow
ing the grand jury to have such in
formation as might possibly lead to
the indictment of a Democrat Is it
possible that a Democrat can see no
better reason for this course than a
purpose to try to get teen in showing
up alleged rascality! Would
Democrat barg ain not to expose the
misdeeds of a. Republican or Popu
list provided tl te Republican or Popu
list would not show up the embezzle
ment of a Democrat! .Verily,
seems so!
The worst we have heretofore
known of Mi . Chappell is that he
was a maligi lant partisan, and his
efforts, durin; g his incumbency, were
ardently dii cted to removing from
school co mm ittees every man who
was not a Dec mocrat or who happen
ed to renotu ice Democracy. This
was bad enot igh to be known of a
man supposed to be holding a posi
tion of compi ehensive and general
interest not f arty interest and al
though he ma y be presented, we
hope that noti hing worse may ' be
known of hint.
JUDGE CLARK AND SILVER III
MEXICO.
It may be remembered that at the
meeting of the State Press Associa
tion held at Greensboro last summer,
Moses H. Cone, of the great cotton
plaid trust, offered to contribute
$500 toward paying the expenses of
certain Democratic editors to go to
Mexico to acquire and publish in
formation about that degraded sil
ver using country ! These same ed
itors (one a goldbug and one a pro
fessing silverite but both Demo
crats) wanted to go; but the Asso
ciation had the good sense not to as
sume the appearance of endorsing
hirelings of a goldbug's money.
The people, however, will not lose
the information which they should
have about that country. Elsewhere
we present a letter written by Asso
ciate Justice Walter Clark, now
in Mexico, whose statements ate not
A
to be questioned,relating to the use of
silver. We have never seen or read a
clearer and more forcible document
It is a vivid blaze of information. In
its light the truth stands out in such
bold relief that conviction of its ex
istence is irresistible; and he who
will not accept it as it appears here,
must wilfully deny the truth. We
have no doubt that some few gold
bugs will do this. They never deny
anything but the truth in trying to
promote their damnable policy and
infamous plans of robbery. ,
We thank Judge Clark 'for writ
ing this letter. Everybody ought to
read and analyze it. Though not
very long, it is a mine of immense
wealth in the matter of information.
Its illustrations and warnings are
deeply significant. We hope every
paper in the State and especially
every Reform paper in the State and
nation will publish it. It may be
put down as an eternal fact that any
statement that Judge Clark may
make is absolutely impeachable.
ENATOB UNDSAT UKTTKft.
Elsewhere we present a letter
written by State Senator Lindsay,
in which he, as an individual, ad
vances -a proposition to the effect
that the People's Party stands ready
to co-operate with the Republican or
Democratic party on a "distinctive
line of principle." Senator Lindsay
makes no advance nor does he vio
late the position of the People's
Party in his letter. The Populists
tried to co-operate with Democrats
at the silver convention in Raleigh,
on September 25tb, but when a
question of principle came up, Dem
crats made an inglorious and dis
graceful backdown. They dropped
principle like it was a red hot brick.
The mistake that Senator Lindsay
makes is the assumption that Demo
cracy will abide by principle. hat'i
the matter with the Senator's mem
oryt After the State and national
record of the Democratic party for
the past four years can he seriously
think it possible for machine Demo
crats to deal "honestly and fairly!"
These are words used in his letter in
connection with a proposed division
of offices.
To hold eut the "olive branch of
peace" is a graceiui act and one to
be commended, but to trust machine
Democracy without an iron-clad,
rock-ribbed indemnifying bond is
not to be thought of, and nobody
will stand security for machine Dem
ocrats on such a bond as this. They
would no more hesitate to promise
to vote for a Populist candidate and
then scratch him, than they have
heretofore hesitated to stuff ballot
boxes and steal elections. As ex
tended to men who call themselves
Democrats, but are for principle be
fore party, we heartily endorse Mr.
Lindsay's proposition.

ED1TOUIAL COMMENT,
The Caucasian a pain announces
that it will give Solicitor Pou the
names of parties, who, if examined
by the grand jury, might prove able
to throw more light and information
on the Brown-Satterfield case than
the public is now in possession of.
If these men or either of them were
corrupted, . somebody did the cor
rupting. Who wai this somebody!
This is.the main question and a good
jury and good solicitor ought to come
close to finding out who he, she or it
is. Until this is done there's no
sense in taming about lhe proper
meeting out of justice. We have
neither criticised the verdict of the
jury nor the sentence of the judge,
but a minority of people only are of
the opinion that the evidence ought
to have led to conviction.

IT IS FUNNY I VERY FUNNY 1 1
For the past two years the Demo
cratic press has invoked the full ca
pacity of every possible combination
of the English language to denounce
the "fusion".ror "co-operation" be
tween Populists and Republicans.
hey could see nothing in "fusion"
of any kind but a scheme to take
away the spoils from the Democratic
party. They raved, they snorted,
they shrieked, they growled, they
tore their hair, they "cussed" and
they lied until their vast capacity
along this line was exhausted. They
stand condemned to-day, by legisla
tive resolution, as a collective col
uminator and liar a resolution
passed by the Representatives elect
ed by a majority of the people of the
STATE.

But look! State Senator Lindsay.
Populist, writes a letter in which
he suggests fusion with the Democrat

of that sweet morsel we see this
same Democratic press making,
They open their mouths wide. They
gulp it down in a frenzy of glee
They say is good; and with what
agonizing wistf ulness they appear to
look for more! "Fusion" would be
altogether proper with Democrats
from a Democratic standpoint, but
with any other party nm umph!
What a funny conglomeration this
Democratic crew is any way.
