Free and unlimited coinage of sil

No more issues of bouds.
Enough government legal tender

Cove, N. C, March 'J. I thought
it would not be arniag to let you
know that we, the colored voters in
this flection of Craven coonty, are
standing solid for the free and un
limited coinage of silver at the r
tio of I fi to I, independent of any
othr nation; and we pledge our
selves not to vote for any man who
does not stand with both feet on a
free silver platform from President
down to township constable.
No more straddling on the silver
question for us, and we advise our
colorsd brethren everywhere to
awake to their interests and give to
the party twaddlers who come
around with the pitiful plea of "stick
to the party" a wide birth. Let
them go their own way and let's
prove ourselves to be men and vote
for principle instead of party; for
this cateiing to party has ruined the
laboring people of this country and
wrought us to tlm point where we
can hardly get bread for ourselves
and wives and children. A little
more of tho "Mick to your party"
will put us in u worse condition
than we were in the days of chatel

The committee asserts that the de

the opposition candidate was duo to
the "wholesale ialsincation ot re
