Tho majority of both old parties seem to be in favor of the free coinage of silver at 10 to 1, and why not come with us and let ns pat our shoulders to the wheel and make this the lead ing issue in the coining campaign? Let us all work with a will to accom plish this and boon the bright rays of prosperity sun will gladden the hearts of our toiling millions. Soon will the star spangled banner spread its liberty-loving face over a nation free indeed. Soon will the now starving millions have bread and to spare, and the sweet song of pros perity will be heard throughout tho now oppressed land, while anthems of gratitude and praise will asceud to the iod of justice and mercy from the hearts and lips of every American man and woman. Then let us work on, hope on, never looking back. Let the dead past bury its dead. And let ns con- dently look forward to a bright and promising futnre.

They were thoroughly de termined in carrying out the princi ples of tho party, and opposed any tnsion with ajiy old party except on or clan that will help to elect a silver President and defeat one who is or may be a goldbug or straddlebug. 1 don't mean to say by this that I would help make the light inside of either of the old parties, if they should hap pen to nominate one who would gen erally be supposed to bo favorable to silver and other reforms, because I know that should such an one be nominated ha would be a straddle bug. But I am willing to me et all the friends of reform half iy and agree upon some man regardless of party name who is a patriot, and who, if elected, would help to eman cipate the toiling millions from the hand of organized monopoly.

They fed that there u no hope that the convention will nom inate a candidate or adopt a piatiorin which they can indorse, lloth say they cannot support a gold standard candidate for the Presidency, no mat ter by what party nominated, and they would only place themselves in an embarrassing position by partcipating iu a convention which is so certain to make a position against silver as they consider the Republican Convention to be. Mr. Teller says that he proni- sed the people of Colorado in that he would not support a gold standard man in the campaign of 1VJC and that he will not change bis posi tion now." W. A. Dunn, of Scotland Neck, mem ber of the Democratic State Kxecutive Committee, writes Kd. Chambers Smith as follows: "II there is any straddle by our party on the silver question, i either State or national convention, it would be the supremest folly to make a campaign in this State. Our people by us have been taught that free-coinage is right, aid they believe it. It is needless for the gold bug organs to say now that it is l'op ulistic to advocate free coinage. The Democratic party in North Carolina, by its press, and by those placed in high positions, is responsible for the faith of the people on this subject. There can be no hair-splitting or dodgitig."
