At thin moment there ii no denying tbe fsot f hat there in chaos in matters ..,,i;t!.i Itla almost wholly due to the audlen and unexpected somersault of the Democratic party by which that Darty would have it appear that it ha renounced the policy it ha ad vocated and practiced for thirty year and that now it enjiouses the pollcj and iirmcinle of the Peoples Party. The Peoples Party, being intensely in earnest and ijniiietionably honest in the advocacy of its principles, is anx ious to align itself with any reinforce merit which pruini-es aid in putting these principles into operation; but it fears and distrusts the promises ol a tiartv which, tor some years past, has been notable for ils violent oppo sition to those principles and its bru tal abuse of the Peoples Party "which forced these issues to the front and nourished them into a vitality that promises long life. mutt erne. Let tbem come wstnoui prejudice and with a desire to do the best thing possible, for it is only such a condition of mind that can properly deal with matters that will come be fore the convention. HYFOCKITICAL IMTKIOTJSV. The record of Time and a mighty and rnomentiious record is being made now p-rits in exposing the rotten ness and infernal hypocrisy of the Cleveland administration. It has ouly been a short time since the Mo ney Power would emit screeches of agony and distress when that great treasury reserve fell below one hun dred million dollars. They would raise what they thought to be a dis tractingcommotion, and would quiet down when Cleveland would sell mil lions of bonds for gold to put into the Treasury to bring op the amount to the "one hundred million dollar mark." Three times was this done, and then there was a debt on the country of J2,NSiSH). ;old syndicates and the anarchists of the Money Tower are now drawing interest on this vast debt, and the people are paying that interest. I'.esides the interest the money anarchists managed to filch from the government or the people millions of dollars by secret deals these deals being such as to allow the money anarchists to buy the bonds at a much lower price than an honest citizen or an honest public would have ben willing to pay for tbem. cret bond deals which Increased the burdens of the people. He showed backbone by prostituting the power and patronage of hi high office to force men to bend to bis policy which favored the gold gamblers and specu lators. And now in spite of the fact that Congress passed resolutions favorable to Cuba, in face of the fact that all na tional conventions have incorporated into tbeir platforms planks declaring sympathy for the people of that beau tiful iale w ho are struggling for free dom, this same "Backbone" Cleveland has just issued a proclamation warn ing citizens of the United States to keep "hands off," and practically de claring that a free people shall not go to the rescue of a people struggling for liberty. The stately pine may have a "back bone" powerful and strong, but if it cannot bend to the storm, it must be broken. The willow, of less magni tude but more grace, bows to the will f the elements and then continues to ive to beautify the earth. If Cleveland refuses to bend or bow to the will of the people, and continues to stand for oppression ana brutality, then nis backbone will be broken. In fact this as already been done politically, and there are many people who wish from the depth 01 their souls that the old brute's backbone had been broken long ago. The convention at M. Louis showed that the Peoples Party was ready to join fort with the Democratic party, or that part of the Democratic party, which declared for Home of the funda mental principles of the Peoples Tarty, by nominating the man put forward by the Democratic party as the repre sentative of these princip'. s. If Dem ocrats were reasonably just, this is as much of a concession as they would ever think of asking. Hut to speak plainly and pointedly, the Peoples Party does not expect the Democrats to act In a broad spirit of justice and equity. The Peoples Party will make more concessions than exact justice demands, if by so doing they can in stitute the reforms they advocate. They have made untold sacrifices to bring these issues to the front, and will make more sacrifices to put them in force. If justice and equity were to have in fluencein bringing order out of the present chaos, there would be no hesi tancy in admitting that the Populists are entitled to a full support of the Democratic party for a Populist vice president in return for a full support of the Populists for a Democratic Pres. ident. Hut this will not be admitted Nothing may be expected from the Democrats except what is wrung from them by a power which they cannot control or crush. In this IState the Democratic esecu tive committee has passed resolutions which bear the appearance of a willing' ness to be fair and reasonable. The real purpose, however, is to try to make a proposition which no self-respecting Populist could entertain for a moment and then when such a proposition indignantly rejected, to go before the people ai'd try to make it appear that the Populists are iMt honest because the reeled overture looking to co- opera ion &e. &c.

Now, in cur opinion, the Populists are ready to endure injury for the sake of their cause, but as for tamely sub mitting to inult, from Bourbon Dem ocracy, never! NEVER!! Chair man Jones is supposed to be the mouth piece of Mr. Bryan. If Mr. Jones is expressing the sentiments of Mr. Bry an, then Mr. Bryan is proving to be a man unfit for the Presidential chair; for no ntan who will refuse to respect the sentiments and wishes of millions of his fellow-countrymen is flt for the exalted position of President. If this young statesman's head is becoming welled on account of honors that have been accorded him, he should be promptly reminded that the same forces which caused that swelling can do that which will ungwell it, and that very little provocation is needed for doing it. lie is by no means the only man in America that genuine reform ers are willing to vote for. The best thought of the best men must be applied to a solution of exist ing conditions. .There must be earnest deliberation and quiet hut positive procedure. Therefore we again urge the . embers of th Peoples Party to Lmb ulU iio'eio time of the State convention. Let the best men be sent and let thein unU. tt hat they Well, less than ten days ago, the gold reserve fell below the mark again. Why was there not another screech raised? Why did the money anar chists not demand more bonds? Why was it that banks came forward and put gold back into the treasury u ithcvt bonds, and then demand credit for pa triotism because they came to the res cue i f the government's credit? Ah the pirates and thieves damnable thieves in league with .Sherman and Cleveland ! If they can come forward now with gold to keep up that unlawful and bogy reserve, why could they not have done it the Jirsl time it fell below ' the mark? Do you begin to see? Well, the first time, the people had not waked up but after two or three of these scheme's of legalized robbery the people did arouse themselves and began to ask the infernal horde of pirates some un comfortable questions. Then Marion Butler, of North Carolina, served no tice to the world that this piracy must be stopped by putting his anti bond bill through the Senate. But the people did not wake up soon enough and Butler was not in the Sen ate in time to resist the work of th looters and money brigands before they had done their dirty work. They are acting prettily now. They come forward'and "practically" offer gold to the treasury. But if they are jt triotg, why did they not do this the tint time: They are purring now, but if the watchful eye of the people i ever taken from them they will become more rapacious than ever and they will not stop until they have enslaved millions by debt first, and then by force. The goldbug gang has always seem ed to find some pleasure in calling members of the Teoples Party "social- sts" as well as anarchists. But the time has come when socialists and an archists are being driven to line up with their proper company, and the company proves to be the goldbugs every time. The home of socialism as generally understood is in Germany. Its great leader is a member of the German Reichstag or Congress. His name is Dr. T.runo Schoenlank, and in an in terview given to the New York World, he shows clearly that socialists as well as anarchists are all goldbugs. lie says : "We German socialists are absolute ly opposed not only to the free coin age of silver but also to bimetallism, whether by international agreement or by individual national efl'ort. We believe that the adoption of a free sil ver system would surely be followed by the enhanced cost of all the neces saries of life." So there you are. The anarchist and socialist want something for nothing. They want the necessaries of life cheap that is they want the wealth producers to work for nothing to work as slaves for the goldbug lords. This is the true definition of goldbug ism, socialism and anarchism. Mr. Arthur SewaH, f Miln, the Democratic nominee for W-Presi dent, it hurtling around to t a re an other Democratic convection in Maine one that will declare for the Chicago Iemocratie platform. The regular Democratic convention of that State declared for the gold tandard and nominated a goldbug for over- ncr. Mr. Sewall is finding a rocky road to make hit htate platform and his national platform fit each other, lie is worth six million dollar and a man with that much money could pay up the railroad fare of a considerable number of fellows who would declare for anything for a free ride. We expect be will get up bis convention. But why this bustling now? by didnx jar. ewall say be wanted such a convrntion before he was nominated for Vice-President? "And the band played on!" North Carolina is figuring very prominently in the great bitory inaking record of the time. It was the North Carolina Democratic dele gation which went to Chicago alone and unsupported favoring Bryan for President and won the victory for him. It was the North Carolina Pop ulist delegation which went to M. Louis, and offered and secured the adoption of a plan by which a Vice- l'rrsiuent was nominaieu Delore a Tresident, and thus by one move pre serving the integrity of a great party without necessarily weakening the re form forces or causing a division among tbem. It was the North Caro lina independent silver element that furnished a chairman who worked up tne inagnincent silver convention which was recently held at St. Louis Dr. J.J. Mott, who worked un the great silver convention at St. Louis, has resigned as chairman, and has been succeeded by Mr. Lane, of Cali fornia. Ir. Mott says : "I am glad to deliver my otlicial responsibilities to another, although ray colleagues in the cause generously insisted that I should keep the chairmanship. Mr. Lane, of California, who succeeds me, is an able gentleman and zealous worker in the cause. I am going back to my own State to help direct things in the right channel. Jrrom what 1 have learned through consultations in Chicago and St. Louis, I am satisfied that Washington will be the head quarters of the national Democratic Populist and Silver committees. It is the best place in America from which is to handle a great campaign. An order has been issued at the Val entine Iron Company's works that, commencing with August 1, a 10 per cent, reduction of wages would be made. Over five hundred men are ell'ected by the reduction. The officers say it is owing to the general depres sion in business caused by the ag:ta tion ol the money question, hvery scoundrel in the country who can do anything for the next few months to rob somebody or to try to scare the people into goldbugism will say that the "agitation or the money question did it. Wonder if these knaves have forgotten that there has been a ger eral depression of business since the Democratic party, at the command of Cleveland, killed all the silver money? nuoB G'jn;,iirs CEHUL DID MOT CALL BAPTISTS "TRAITORS TO THEIR COUNTRY AND THEIR COD." est resettles akx wiss:s& (OwttMetf 60 Per Cent Reduction ANAKCHY UNMASKED. It has been the fashion and custom of the big o. p. papers and big pluto cratic liars of the country to speak of Populists as red-mouthed agitators, anarchists and the like for some time. This has been their method of fight ing the Peoples Party and reformers generally. They do not seem to have had sense enough to know what con stituted anarchy, and had no concep tion of what it meant until the anar chists defined it. Just see. THE 8TATE CONVENTION. Again we wish to urge the Peoples Party of North Carolina to consider the vast importance which attaches to the action of the State convention this year. The great people are demand ing a change of systems, and methods for securing such changes, so far as the power of this State can aifect them, depends entirely on the action of our convention. Let the weight of responsibility be felt by every dele gate, and let every one come with a sincere desire and determination to meet that responsibility properly. This convention will in all probability make as much history for the State as the St. Louis convention did for the nation. llerr Most, the leader of the Anar chistic party and the arch-conspirator of anarchy in this country, came out flit-footed in a column editorial in the official organ of that party, last Tues day, in favor of the o.ilu standard and McKinlky, and in his usual vig orous manner denounced Bryan and silver in language more forcible than elegant. On Wednesday night the vnarchUt party at irs meeting in New York indorsed McKinley and gold. On Thursday night the Anarchists of Thil u'elphia met on Fifth 6treet, above Willow, and unanimously voted '.i Ml: ii rf MfIvl iiImv anri tia crnlH It - v. ...... J " " VMV ft" " pUtfor u he stands on. Now, anarchists do not usually de clare for what they hate. The gold standard policy is what pleases them above all things now. They know it means disaster and ruin. They know t means oppression which will result in red-handed revolution, and that is why they favor it. Just imagine, if you can, what a wild, delirious howl of delight these goldbug organs would have sent up if the anarchists had declared for silver. Almost whole pages would have been devoted to flaring headlines announc ing that free silver and anarchy were one and the same. The whole country would have been made to ring with the cry of "anarchy and free silver." w But the anarchist are sticking to their old goldbug party. In fact they are about the only faction that has not bolted it. They refuse to leave their natural associates and allies, and they are determined to give the infernal goldbug gang all the help they can to ward the ruination and destruction of this country. Goldbugism and anar eby are one and the same. The anar chists know this and they will stick to goldbugism. The prosperity of the country and the safety of life can only be assured by crushing both out of political existence. Every patriot and honest man in the Union ought to do all he can to make anarchy and gold bugism odious and detestable, for both are enemies to morality and progress PRESIDENT ALUEKMAN. There is no necessity for a display of words in commendation of the act of the Board of Trustees of the State University in electing Prof. E. A. Al derman as president of the institution. The State, the Board of Trustees and the University are to be congrat ulated on two facts of prime import ance that the board accomplished : 1st. A North Carolinian wa? chosen. 2d. That North Carolinian is Edwin A. Alderman. H I I TO It. J At. COMMENT, Democratic leaders and journals al over the country are bolting the party, and a political realignment seems to be unavoidable. Two members of the Cabinet, Secretaries Morton and Her bert, have announced that they will not support the Democratic ticket or he platform. Democrats in -New York like Whitney and Hewitt and Grace have done the same thing. Ex- Mayor Hopkins, of Chicago, and ex- Senator Palmer, of Illinois, take the same stand, and a large array of inde pendent and Democratic newspapers have swung over to McKinley. The rnuaaeipbia Tress publishes a list of 122 such papers. On the face of it. this looks like a coming landslide that will bury the silver forces in November. But the surface indica tion is not, there i9 reason to think, trustworthy in this case. The contest s assuming the phase of a fight be tween the people and the plutocrat. When a "plutocrat" chaneres his poli tics, it is heralded abroad in all the papers ; but if 100 of the people change, there is no noise made about it. It is this undercurrent that the Republi cans fear, and there is reason for their fear. BRUTAL BACKBONE. President Cleveland has been spoken of as a man with a backbone as big as a circus pole. The only evidence of it, however, appears in the interest of oppression and brutality. He showed backbone in standing by the money anarchist of Wall street and letting them make millions of dollars by se- Some Democratic papers, notably tne onariotte UD9erver ana the Kal eigh 'Press-Visitor, are making ter ritic objection to the action of the State Democratic executive committee in proposing co-operation with the Populists on the State electoral ticket, The Observer says: "This, it will be seen, ia an overture for such a fusion between the Democrats and Populists as was aenouncea two years ago. when effected between the Populists and Republicans, as unholy and unclean."

Now, let this same "Democracy" read his speech elsewhere, and then may the plague of hell fall on the dastardly democratic scoundrel who is not will ing to apologize for the disgraceful action of Democrats four years aeo. We defy the whole Democratic party to produce a man who can rise to as high and noble a plane as Gen. Weaver shows he occupies by his speech. It seems to be hard to wake up the masses of the people in the big cities. While the "big goldbugs" are getting reaay to buy every thins that will sell, they are trying to make it appear that there is not much to buy.

Now, we want to see all rock throwing and mud slinging stopped, but we will not hesitate to dub a man who makes this statement as an arrant fool. The Populists know that they are from fifty to one hundred per cent, stronger in this State than they were four years ago, and everything else but a fool knows it.

But I state most positively 1 did not at any time in my remarks single out tne liaptisis wno oppose state aid to higher schools, and charge tbem with being 'traitors to their country and their God.' Nor did I express any such sentiment on that occasion to wards any particular church or class of persons, and if anybody drew any such inference from my remarks, the language i usea am not justify any sucn lnierence.
