Silver, Htanley Co., N. C, June
1C. U(J. I stand with Senator liutier
and a majority of the Mate execu
tive committee on the subject of fu
sion. I bold that a sacrifice of prin
ciple for the purpose of getting a
few of our men into office is a dis
honor to our patty. If we co-operate
with the Republicans giving them
five electoral votes we surrender 5-11
of our free coinage principles and
those (ire electoral votes might be
the turning point in the Presidential
election. No good general would
surrender 5-11 of his army before
the battle was fought. The Popu
lists waat co-operation, but do not
want a sacrifice of principle to get
it.
I congratulate Senator Butler on
his noble work in the V. S. Senate
in favor of reform. All North Caro
linians, irrespective of party, should
be proud of him and Representative
A. C. Shuford, He stands, like the
patriot that he ia, fighting for the
peoples' rights among fearful odds.
1 think Hon. A. C. SShuford should
receive the nomination in this, the
seventh Congressional district, to
succeed h'mself in our next Con
gress without a dissenting voice.

A WARNING TO HIS 1 r ARTY.
.
Fopullat In Union County.
For The Caucasian.
Indian Trail, N. C, June 18,
'. The Populists of Union county
are standing "in the middle of the
road," and gaining ground every
day. We applaud the action of the
Ntato executive committee in refus
ing to accept the proposition of the
Republicans in regard to fusion.
Our motto is to steer clear of the
enemy, and fight them with all the
power of a Buffering and outraged
people. The great burning issues
that are confronting the American
people mast be settled, and the Peo
ples Party is the only party that will
do it in the interest of suffering hu
manity. Let every friend of good
government arise and march for
ward in one solid phalanx, and
crush the combines, trusts and all
enemies of good government out of
existence. We think old Union will
roll nn a, eood Populist majority
next November, and break up the
machine rule that has been in vogue
in this county for several years.
The Caucasian should be in the
hands of every friend of the people.
It is the best pa per in the South,
and it has done more to break up
machine rule in North Carolina than
all other influences combined.

Dellwood, N. C, June 18, '9.
I am seventy-seven years old. I
never claimed to be a Democrat in
my life. I imbibed Whiggery when
quite a child by the conversation
and talk of my mother, who was a
little girl in time of the Revolution
ary war.
My opinion of the Tories was very
unfavorable and I must say that I
hold to-day the same opinion of a
man who will vote for the gold stan
dard that I then had of the Tories,
and I think that future historians
will hand them down to future gen
erations with much the same kind of
fame.
The first vote I ever cast was for
William Henry Harrison and John
Tyler, and I lived a John Tyler
Ilenry Clay Whig np to the time of
the war. I was opposed to seces
sion. I claimed to be a Union man
in the time of the war. At the sur
render I united with the Republican
party. To be consistent and con
scientious I had to. I was, as I be
lieve, a consistent Republican up to
Benj. Harrisons administration. I
quit then and united with the Peo
ple's Party. I stand rquarely to-day
with the Peoples Party, and a man
truer to them the sun never shined
upon.

Washington, June If;. T.-oay
President Cleveland made the follow
ing reply to a representative of the
New York Ilcra.d, who nsked of tht
President a M;t1m nt concerning
the Democratic. itu;ttion. Mr.
Cleveland slid :
"I have uiadtt no (igurts as to the
probable action of delegates already
chosen or to bo chosen to tho Demo
cratic national convention, but I re
fuse to believe that when the time
arrives for deliberate action, there
will be engrafted upon our Demo
cratic rjed a demand f-r the fiee,
unlimited and independent coinage
of silver. I cannot believe this be
cause 1 know tbo Democratic party
is neither unpatriotic nor foolish and
it seems clear to me that such a
course will inflict a very serious in
jury on every interest of our coun
try, which it has been the mission of
Democracy to advance, and will re
sult in lasting disaster to our party
organization. There is little hope
that as a means of success this free
silver proposition, after its thorough
discussion during a political cam
paign, will attract a majority of the
votes of the country.
"It must bo that many of t he illu
sions influencing those now relying
on this alleged panacea for their ills
will be dispelled before tho time
comes for them to cast their ballots
which will express their sober second
thought. The adoption by Democ
racy of this proposition would, I be
lieve, trive to our oppoucnts an ad
vantage both in the present and fu
ture which they do not deserve.
"My attachment to true Democra
cv is so strong that I consider its
success as identical with tho promo
tion of the country's good.
"This ought sufficiently to account
for mv anxiety that no mistake be
made at our party convention. In
my opiuion no t ffort should be spared
to secure such action or the dele
gates as will avert party demoraliza
tion.
"It is a place for consultation,
and a comparison of views of those
Democrats who believe in the cause
of sound money should there bo
heard and be constantly in evidence
A cause worth fighting for is worth
tightiug for to the end. If sound
money Democrats suppose there is
danger of a mistake being made such
danger should stimulate their activ
ity' in averting it instead of clearing
discouragement.
"I am very far from arrogating to
myself a controlling intluonco upon
the policy of my party; but as an
unflinching Democrat who has been
honored by List party and who de
sires hereafter no greater politica
privileges than to occupy the place
of private in its ranks, I hope I may
not be blamed for saying this much
at this time in the interest, as
seems to me, of the grand old organ
ization so rich in honorable tradi
tions; so justly proud of its achieve
ments, and always so undaunted
and brave in its battles for the pnb
lic welfare."

I have no doubt that the Demo

adopt a free silver platform to catch
voters. Didn't they do the same
thing four years ago? And to-day
we have the single standard and no

Capt. S. A. Ashe, of Raleigh; Mr.
Marmaduke J. Hawkins, of Itidge-
way, and Mr. Ashley Home, of
Clayton, are being spoken or in con
nection with the Democratic nomina
tion for State Treasurer.
Col. F. A. Olds, the Raleigh cor
respondent of the Charlotte Obser
ver says :
'The Chatham county Democrats,
it seems, failed to elect rienry A.
London a delegate to the State con
vention. For twenty-five years he
has always been a delegate, and has
always been one of the most usefnl
and accurate members."
This is rather strange to The Cau
casian, tor the genial Mr. ljondon is
about all that is left of the Democra-
The very men (I mean the tie party in Chatham. Our explana-
Democrats) who ara howling for
free silver the loudest had a chance
to vote for freo silver in Congress,
and did they vote for it! The rec
ord shows how they voted. Can we
trust them any longer? I for one
say no : and wuen l say no i voice
tho sentiment of millions of honest
men who will no longer bow their
knees to the golden calf or party
lash.
Then when will we get free silver?
The two old parties have failed to
give it to us, and I see but one more
chance to get, and that is forj every
honest voter to support the nomi
nee of tho Populist and free silver
convention to be held at St. Louis,
in July. The men who comtose the
Populist parU' aro true and tried
silver men.
In conclusion, I would say, if this
country is to be redeemed from the
grasp of monopoly and money kings
and speculators it will have to be
done through the grand old Populist
party. I would beg you to vote for
your country, tor your home, and
your family, and your fellow man.
The Good Book says this: "When
the wicked rule the people mourn;"
and how true is this to-day. Vote

Fayetteville, N. C, June IS.
Your bold and plain speech s con
tained in your issue of the 11th of
June, has found a responsive echo
and Amen in the hearts of th true
Populists here, and I believe all over
the State.
When you say "that before the
Populists would consent to fuse with
the Democrats, they would go horse,
feot, draeroon, rank and tile, booily
into the Republican party," you do
speak, as you say, "a livixu
TRUTH."
It is a fact, beyond contradiction,
that many thousands of tho Popu
lists were already ia their mind
thinking upon adopting this very
course in the event that a fusion
with the old Democratic party, was
attempted, as some seemed to think,
was in process of adoption. Some
said that Senator Butler had already control of the government. It has
begun to plan this course of fusion
with the party that rotten-egged
him, but we here did not for a mo
ment believe any such talk. We
knew that Senator Butler had more
sense than to do such a thincr with
his friends, and we als knew that
Senator Butler is a man of sense,
and knew he could not "boss" the
Populists into any such thiug as
this; and we therefore spurned such
an idea, and never would believe it
of Senator Butler unless he told me
so with his own mouth, and hardly
then, as we do not believe him caps
ule of such folly. V o congratulate
you upon your open and manly
words STICK RIGHT THERE, AXI
PILE IT OS.
Now you may expect Senator But
ler and all Populists to be abused,
since they have found they can't use
us for their interests, and the Demo
crats won't hesitate to call us all
sorts of names either let them go

Kroin the hour of achieving their

pathy tlie struggles of other A men

our best hopes go out for the full uc

having lost control of Cuba and being
unable to protect the property or live

we believe that the government of the
