C, June 13, '90 I would like to say that tho actions of our State committees and of our representatives in Congress are in accord with the wishes of the people here who want principles in front. The Democrats think that Senator Butler will favor them this fall. I heard one say that he was a good Democrat and always had been. Our Representatives are giving the people of both old parties better sat isfaction than their own are, and with good management irom now on, this fact will tell its own story in November. Populists in this (Co- it stood in or any other good man the i ops will nominate for (Jovernor. But when we reflect on the occurrences of '91, when Major Guthrie was down here making speeches in the interest of the Peoples Party, a Democrat could hardly be seen at any of his appointments. Now, I would like to know what has brought about this change. I think there is "something rotten in Denmark." I think their plan would be to let the Populists have all the State offices they want, if by so doing they (the Dems) could get control or the legis lature. A Democratic majority in the next legislature will restore their machine ring rule. It will do more than that; it will repeal our honest election law. It will do more yet; it will elect a Democrat to the U. S. Senate, and I believe it will do worse than that. I believe it will pass such legislation as will keep them in power just as long as they want to stay. Now we, as Populists, don't want any of these things I have made mention of, because we have labor ed under the crall and bitterness of these things. The Democratic party of North Carolina stands just where 1S92, and these machine lumbus) county love their princi ples and aim to stand by them; and fusion with any body only on prin ciple will number them with the ten lost tribes of Israel. Alva Benson. Guthrie For Governor. For The Caucasian. Jackson, Northampton Co., N. C, June 8, '90. I am satisfied that Maj. W. A. Guthrie is the proper man for Uovernor, for several rta boos, viz.: 1st, he is a statesman of the right and true type. 2d, sound and solid on the financial question, a true friend to silver. 3d, his Pop ulist principles are above question He left the old party like many of us who did, because principle had ceased to be a virtue in either of the two old parties. For the last two or three years he has given his strength and support to the cause of justice and reform, which demands tqual protection to all. I believe he can poll more votes in the coming election for Governor than a ay other man in the State. A large majority of both Populists and Republicans in this section are for the "Maj." T. C. Parker. ringsters will bear watching with something better than a glass eye. We must beat the Democrats this year, and the way to do it, is ior tne people to hold township meetings, county meetings and district meet ings and pian for the defeat of these ringsters. For instance, the Popu lists and Republicans can co-oper ate and send a Republican from each county pledged to vote for no man for U. S. Senator unless he is an out and-out free coinage man. By doing this we can control the next legislature, and then we can fix things in better shape than they are now. But if the Democratic party gets in power, we are gone as a party. We are told to watch as well as pray, and now is a time when we must watch. So far as Guthrie is concerned, if the Democrats don't vote for him he will be the next Governor of North Carolina. Guthrie is the man. One half of the Republicans in the State will vote for him, and every Popu list to a man, and that will elect him. 5th. On the same day this same Democratic Congress voted down a second proposition to coin silver free at 17 to 1 by a still larger majority. Gth. On the same day this same Democratic Congress voted down another proposition looking to "the parity" of the two metals, at 18 to 1. 7th. On the same day another bill providing for the free coinage of sil ver at 19 to 1 was rejected. Sth. On the same day, another proposition looking to the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 20 to 1 was defeated in a Demo cratic House. And thus it was five bills pro viding for the free and unlimited coinage of silver was defeated in a Democratic House as fast as the clerk could call the roll. And be it remembered that in every solitary instanco a majority of those Demo cratic Congressmen voted against silver and in favor of the gold standard. 9 th. On November this same Con gress voted down Bland's amend ment to the pending bill, providing for free coinage at the ratio of 10 to 1. 10th. On October 27th, 1893, the United States Senate, having a Democratic majority of three over all and when four Populist Senators were counted for silver, the majority over the Republicans was 11, defeat ed Senator Stewart's amendment providing for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 10 to 1. 11th. In February, 1895, this same Congress was in session. The fi nance committee of the Senate with Dan Voorhees, chairman, and a ma- ard Democratic ticket is not beyond the range of possibility. "It may be decided on before the 7th of July that none of these lead ers will enter the Chicago conven tion. They are disinclined to be known as bolters, but are irrevoca bly committed to the gold standard and feel the utmost disinclination to be bound by a free silver platform. They regard the rising tide of silver sentiment with quite as much con sternation as do the McKinley Re publicans. ONLY ONE COURSE OPEN. "At this moment no one of these men has decided in his own mind what he will do in the face of the in evitable result at Chicago. Senator Gorman, with the great commercial metropolis of Maryland behind him, can take only one course. Senators Hill and Smith are equally commit ted. New York has not spoken in convention yet, but not tho slightest doubt exists as to what her voice will be. A great revulsion of Dem cranio feeling is expected between now and the 3rd of November, when many Eastern Democrats expect to see some of the noisiest agitators for tho white metal on the stool of repentance. "A New York Democrat said at the Arlington hotel to-night " 'The Western and Southern men of our party are certainly out of their minds.

Thus it will be seen that in nine years the Democratic party in Con gress has killed eleven free silver bills, and wholly failed and refused to rebuke "the crime of '73.'' Platform pledges count for noth ing when compared to records coolly and deliberately made. In 1S90 twenty-nine Democratic State conventions declared for free silver. In 1S92 these same Democrats elected Grover Cleveland and a Democratic House and gained con trol of the Senate, thus having abso lute possession of the government. In 1S9J they voted silver down charge by the combined money in terests of the country. SOUTH AND WEST WILL SUFFER " 'They will feel in it November The South will suffer most, I fear.

Winston Republican. firft ballot next November I have diligently and impartially studied politics and political ques tions durirg the last yea', that I might arrive at the right conclusion at.d cast my vote independently and uninfluenced by prtiudices and inci dental environments. My paternal and maternal rela tives are all Republicans and have been since the organization of the party. This naturally prepostessed me with that party, but still 1 was unwilling to aliirn myself with it without investigating its policy, principles and past record. I have come to thecocclusion that the financial question is, and will be the overshadowing issue until it is settled to the satisfaction of the peo ple. The great industrial army is justly aroused and they demand a change with ominous muttcrings that had better be hetdtd. In a popular government where the peo ple become restless and discontent ed, as we find them to-day, there is undoubtedly something wrong; eith er they Lave been grossly and in geniously misrepresented, or have unfortunately sought a remedy at the wrong place. The alternate control of the 1. S. Congress for the last fifteen or twen ty years fully demonstrates this idea. The two great parties have alternate ly gone intopowtr with enormous majorities. These, for immediate sellish advantage, have catered and fawned like a hound dog, to the pop ular will and betrayed their trust in some instances, and have appeal ed to sectional prejudices and point ed out recent local happenings as tho cause of the distress in another. Such have been the manouvres of tho two great parties for tho last 20 years, and in the meantime surrep titious debauchery, corruption and financial contraction were going on at the general government. The present leaders have records of glaring inconsistencies that are altogether repulsive to honest con victions. There are none of nation al prominence that have not formed unnatural alliances, stilled their convictions and stultified their rec ords. If such there bo they are rap idly shaking fK party shackles and taking an independent stand for the principles and policies the founders of their respective parties originally advocated. They realize that party ties and affiliations are insignificant compared with principle. The one can be disregarded; the other must be preserved inviolate. It is not "what is his politics, a Republican or Democrat," but "what are his principles'' which is the ejuestion of to-day; not whether he is a high ta riff or low tariff man, but is he a goldbug or silverite" is the anxious query ot the masses ot this country. There is another littie question that naturally drops in about here that is very significant and adds much to the final classification: "Is he for principle, for instance, free silver regardless of party actions or declarations!" The answer to this question is the difference between a patriot and comical elemagogue, a man and a servile tool, a freeman and a slave. Cannot any one with an impartial and unprejudiced mind see that the money question is the issue and vir tually the only one now in national politics? Since the meeting of the last Democratic Congress that passed the measure of "perfidy and dishon or," spotted with sectional, personal and class favoritism, .1 am almost inclined to believe Hancock when he said the tariff is merely a local ejuestion. It is cettainly local and sectional as demonstrated in the schedules of the past twenty years. It cannot be made a great national POPULISTS CONTROL. e"t;on.

Sh hat certainly made a great mistake in national politic in not sticking to the principles of the "oM school" Democracy, and in Wing inconsist ent in many intacc-s. We have a very notable cane in 72. when Graft and Greely were candidate. Grey ly was the apostle of high tariff, and had said more hard things agairst the South than any man living. He had even criticised Grant for his lib eral Southern ideas and his leniency to the leaders of the Confederacy. Party demanded tbtm to vote for Greely and they did it. Again in '92 it was free silver and G rover Cleveland, and all the time they knew Cleveland wa unaltera bly opposed to eilver. Every con ceivable deception was resorted to to carry the "Solid South' and they did it. This is to the leaders and not to tho masses. If the Democratic party had stuck to their old principles and selected their candidates from pure and un compromising sources they micht not to-day be able to number a Pres ident since the war, but they could have gone forth, under the present conditions, as the champion f the people, and ultimately triumph with the greatest victory of modern times. But instead, for temporary advantages, they have catered to the most unprincipled elements of Northern and Eastern politics. They have not only dealt all the pie but have sacrificed nearly every true Democratic principle tj them. Con sequently Democracy to-day i a stench in the nostrils of the people, Under their banner we will have a hard road to travel for financial re form. Uf course we cannot any more expect reform from the Repub lican party, wedded as it is to the Northern constituency. Kvery true reformer fully realizes those facts, and they are going to come together at St. Louis and put out a ticket. headed by men of unimpeachable records, that will sweep the country. That's the ticket for me: that's the ticket of every true patriot. That's the ticket that will obliterate bc tionalism and unite the interest of the laboring masses. Benuow Henderson.

"Mexico is peaceful and prosper ous," said Hon. Matt liansoni, at the Metropolitan. "A very large amount of American capital is coming into the country, much of which is being invested in coffee lands. Mexico is well adapted to the production of the fragrant berry, which is one of the most profitable crops raised in any part of the world. There is nothing exciting in the sister republic. The general elections will occur this tail and the re-election of President Diaz is a certainty. This makes his Cfth consecutive term of office, and a wiser and better chief magistrate never gui ded tbe destinies of a nation." The goldbugs are getting hard up for arguments.

Although there is no possibility of the passage of tbe bill in tbe House and its approval by tbe President, there is couid-rable anxiety lest its passage in tbe Senate will csue alarm in business circles and bring about a disastrous run upon tbe gold reserve. Representative Dingley, chairman of tbe Committee on Ways and Means, told me to-night that as soon as tbe bill reaches the House to-morrow it will be referred to bis committee, wbit-h will report it back adversely at once, and it is hoped to have the lloue kill tbe measure before the end of to morrow's session. Senator Hill, who led tbe fight in the Senate against the llutler bill, said to me this evening : "Jluslness men need not tie disturbed as to tbe consequences of tbe measure, because, practically, it will bave no ell ect whatever. Its passage ia of no special consequence beyond tbe dan gerous spirit of populism and com munism which it discloses, which is generally to be regretted. "If Its enactment into law was im minent it would be the culminating atrocity of tbe session. The authority to issue bonds to procure coin with which to redeem our paper currency, whenever presented, ia a necessary and essential power, To refuse it means repudiation. It means national dis honor. It means tbeeommitnient of natioual crime. It means bad faith. I'nder no circumstance rould tbe virtual repeal of the Resumption act os 1S75 be justified, because its continu ance upou tbe statute book w as essen tial to tbe redemption or our paper money, o which tbe country was pledged by tbe act of 1HC9. what the issra is. "The issue which tbe ill-advised friends of the prohibitory bond bill in vite is not uerely the question of gold I or silver money, but tb- issue of bard ' money versus psper money; between a redeemable and aa irredeemable pa currency and a claaror for more money and cheap money. I am not without hope and confid ence in toe future, vtbiie it is aim- cult to predict the outcome of tbe Chi cago Convention, I am inclined to be lieve that conservative counsels will prevail. If, in addition to other ex treme demands, 1 he South and West shall compel tbe Convention to declare in opposition to all bonds for the pre servation of tbe public credit, and ia favor of the maintenance of a paper currency without any adequate means of redemption being provided, tbey might as well go further and reeoru meud a populistic income tat, the ab sorption of official ownership of rail roads by tbe government and every other measure of paternalism and socialism which tbe Populists favor, and prepare to encounter a great na tional defeat, equal to that of Imou. BIXI OB KCIX. ''The spirit of rule or ruin is being manifested. It is 1C1 over again. Tbe first mistake wbicb tbe adminis tration made was io J1, when it virtually yielded to tbe populistic de mand for an income tax to be incorpo rated in a Democratic tariff bilL That was a serious, if sot a fatal, blander. Tbe Iiemocratie party has not recover ed from that blow. These dangerous demands should have been resisted and defeated then, and there would be less difficulty now. "There is no law against a political party committing suicide, but I trust before July 7 wiser counsels than are now apparent will prevail. To-day's business was bad business indeed. It was impolitic, unwise and almost criminal. It was tbe result of a popu- listie-free-silver-RepublicaD-and-uem ocratic combine, and it has temporari ly triumphed, bn: tbe great business world, knowing tne lm potency m iia action, will move on jast tbe same." with three candidates in the field.
