The IVopleii Tarty State conven tion meet in Raleigh thin week. While thin in.sUM of the paper is b- ing printed, delegates are arriving from every section of the htate. They report that many other dele gates are corning, nl K've fur- anceH mat our conveuuuu win uo the largest and the most genuinely representative gathering ot the peo ple ever seen at a political assembly in North Carolina. It will be com poHed of men whoao American pa triotism has thundered a determined "halt" at the foreign-syndicate in spired policy of Clovt'landisra and Sheruianisiu which baa ho bitterly and disastrously cursed this coun trymen who think of their neigh bora aa wtll a themselves men whi are determined to promote pol icies that will benefit country and people instead of inaugurating mad scrambles by which benefit may ac crue to a few men through party spoils. It is impossible to conceive that a convention inspired by such senti ment and determination will omit any action that will forward the in terests of the people, or fail to do that which will look to such a re . . . v formation of systems as will insure the freedom and prosperity of the country. The St. Louis convention rose to a higher aud nobler plane of patriot ism than had ever been before shown in America. It is true that when it convened it was confronted by perplexing problems. There were differences of opinion as to methods, and it may almost bo said that there was bittern ss in factions But beneath all thi there was i conviction that was unfaltering and ineradicable a conviction that ex isting systems and policies must be changed; that such a change must be accomplished by a union of re form forces, and that such union MUST be effected even though it be done at the coet of unreservedly yielding indi. id ial opinion and i total surrendering of party prefer enees. The action of that convention has compelled the admiration and com manded the respect of fair minded and honest men the nation over, and the People Patty stands before them as the recognized exponent and defender of pure and unselfish patriotism. The State convention which meets to-day will probably face conditions difficult as those which faced the na tional convention. There will be some differences of opinion as to methods. There may be something of faction among tho delegates But under all this there will rest the conviction that they are here repre senting the people anil the people's interests. They will realize all the while that they are cent here to make every honorable effort to carry to success an issue which has split every party except the Peoples Party in twain and they may confi dently be relied upon to do that which will firmly cement all our forces and give their united power to an effort to accomplish the great est good for the greatest number. Such is the character such is the intent such is the proud determi nation of the Peoples Party. INSl'KANCK COMPANIES HAIRING MCKINLEY AND THK UOI.D STAND ARD. The great insurance companies are now sending out circular letters to their policy holders, telling them that if we have free coinsge of silver their widows and orphans, after they are dead, will have their policies paid in fifty cent dollars. These insurance companies are urging their policy holders to support McKinley and the gold standard, so that these insurance companies may have the pleasure of paying these policies in one hundred cents gold dollars!! A prominent citi zen of lifts State, who is a policy holder In the Conncttcut Life Insurance Company, has sent us one of these cir clars. lie, as well as every other in telligent policy holder in the State and nation, not only sees quickly through the fallacy of this argument, but will also resent tins implied threat and brazen impudence on the part of the great insurance companies. If free silver would enable these insu rance companies to pay half what they promise to pay each policy holder, then there would be no question about the fact that every insurance company would be strongly for free silver. The best way that every man can leave insurance for his wife and chil- dren is to see, while he is living, that such conditions are created as will en- able very child to earn an hontet li Inf. Th fold standard has almost en tirely robbed the father of this oppor tunity, tut forces him to see clearly that each year conditions will grow wor,and that bit children will be left in a condition of serfdom unless th-re it a change. Lnderthe gold standard, a major ity of the policy holders of this Mate and the nation are not able to keep up their policies. This it jm the kind of butinti that tltt grrat iniumnre romj,a nirt ti hi. t now. I'nless the gold stand ard is changed, over half of the men who now own life insurance policies will be forced to surrender them be fore they die on account of their ina bility to meet their annual premium? iniaci, tne records or tne insurance companies show that only a very small jTcnu. 01 i nose woo rase out in- iu ranee policies are able to keep them up. Insurance companies make more money out of the poor devils who have to surrender their policies for want of ability to pay the annual premiums than they do out of those who continue to pay the annual premiums on their policies during their life time. With I ht- irre coinage or Ml ver the chances are that every man who owns a life in surance policy to-day will be able in ... . . . mi- iuiuic iu meet me annual pre mium; anu wnen lie Uies, lie will not only leave a prosperous country he hind him, with grand opp rtunities for his children in the future, but he will leave a policy that will be paid in one hundred cents silver dollars. In the past, insurance companies have taken but little interest in poli tics, because thecandidates of both the Democratic and Republican parties have been for the gold standard, and no matter which one was elected, they got what they wanted. This year the great insurance companies are all Hocking to the standard of McKmley, not only hecause they want to main tain the gold standard, but also they are afraid that an income tax law will be passed that will force these rich companies to pay a part of their enorm ous annual incomes to support the government. Will the nnlicv Iml.tor - vote to tax himself to raise all the money necessary to run the Govern men i, or will he vote for a graduated ncome tax to force those who have made millions out of the insurance business to pay their fare share of tin burden of taxation? TAKK VOIR CHOICK. Tho Peoples Party ticket is Wil liam J. Bryan, of Nebraska, for President, and Thos. E. Watson, of Georgia, for Vice-President. One from the South; the other from the West. Both stand against trusts, monopolies, and combines; and both stand for the great fundamental principles of true Democracy, and true Republicanism, as represented by Jefferson, Jackson, and Lincoln. The Democratic ticket is William J. Bryan, of Nebraska, for Presi dent, and Arthur Sewall, of Maine. tor vice-President. The second man on this ticket is not only from goldbug New England, five hundred miles beyond the deadline of where it is possible to get an electoral vote for the principles represented by Mr. Bryan and Mr. Watson, but, be sides, he is a national banker, a railroad magnate, and at the head of some of the most oppressive and odious trusts in the State of Maine. He is a type of the New England Democrat, whose sympathies and in terests are on the side of the classes, and against those of the great pro ducing masses of the country. The Republican ticket is William McKinley, of Ohio, for President, and Garret A. Hobart, of New Jer sey, for Vice-President. Both of these are for the British gold stand ard, and also stand for every species of trusts, monopolies, aud combines in America. The last one of these three tickets is one that no patriot can vote for. It is the ticket that the speculators, the gold gamblers, and the monopo lists will support, because the ticket stands for their especial interests and grasping greed. The second ticket is partly good and partly bad. The greatest dan ger in voting for that ticket is that Bryan, if he should escape a natural death, might suffer the fate of Lin coln or Garfield, and then Sewall would be President, and the people would be robbed of their victory. The first ticket is the ideal Ameri can ticket, and is right at both ends. Both Bryan and Watson stand for everything that is best, and noblest, and fairest in American politics. With the interests of the nation in trusted into their hands, equal and exact justice will be meted out to all, and special privileges to none. Voter, take your choice. COTTON TIE TRUST. Some years ago a gang of trust robbers attempted to steal from the farmers of the country millions of dollars by forming a jute trust aud putting up the price of cotton bag ging, just as cotton began to open, nearly one hundred per cent. The farmers found a way to prevent those legal thieves legal under Re publican and Democratic adminis trationfrom carrying out their scheme. . And now just as cotton has begun to open this year, just as the time comes for moving and marketing a crop, the "cotton tie trust" springs up and announces that the price of cotton ties will be advanced from 66 cents to $1.30. It is a well laid plan these damnable legalized thieves have. It will prove difficult to find a substitute for cotton ties, but we hope one can b found and found quickly. We farther hope that the farmers will do everything they can to see the "cotton tie trust" manipulators in hell before purchasing a single tie at the robber price named. We confess we do not know how the far mers can or will manage to throttle this trust at this time; but we know they did throttle the jute trust, acd we hope they will find a way to des troy this second Cleveland Demo cratic administratio'n legalized borde of trust thieves. EDITOHIAL. COMStENT, Mr. Cy. Watson, the Democratic nominee for Governor, is reported to be scoring and denouncing the trusts. Well, what good does that do! What's new about it? Demo crats will denounce anything on the stump. An Alliance legislature passed a law in this State against trusts. It is on the books now. But Democrats were left in charge of affairs. They have never taken one single step toward prosecuting trusts not one. Mr. Watson has never denounced his party for fail ing to enforce that anti-trust law No; he stands by that party now and that party has stood by the trusts. A Democrat is a misrhty warrior when it comes to talking against trusts, but a chicken-hearted craven when it comes to acting against them. There is little sense and less de cency in the yelps that Democrats are making over the Alabama elec tion. It is just like two former elec tions. There is no man, acquainted with the situation but who knows that it was as fraudulent as these two former elections. None but a liar or an ignoramus can claim that there is an honest count. The only thing this election shows is that while there may be professions of conversions among Democrats, they are the same old gang. They hare to be watched in order to be trusted Now, we want to know what has become of those airy old party asser tions that Tom Watson was put up for trading purposes, and the airy predictions that he would come down. Not a single Populist State convention has failed to endorse the action of the St. Louis conven tion. The Pops are for Watson from one end of the country to the other, and they will give him a Populist vote that will look appalling to those who think the Peoples Party can be made an annex to any other party. Editor Joe Caldwell, of the Char lotte Observer, is making quite creditable effort to be consistent. He worked hard to have the Demo cratic convention adopt the gold standard. But when it took silver, Editor Caldwell swallowed his dose like a little man. He was elected a member of the Democratic State central committee, but there he draws the line. He will take his dose, but he will not do anything to make it operate. Several thousand miners in Michi gan have been thrown out of em ployment in order that they may see the error of their way and vote for McKinley. This mode of campaign ing is an excellent running mate for the policy ef the rural doctor who used to throw his patients into con vulsions in order to cure them of minor disorders. N. Y. Journal. Tho article on the railroad lease elsewhere in this issue is full of facts whieh will give people some thing to think about. It will be followed by more facts. It is time people were waking up on these cor poration schemes as they have waked tip on the financial question The Charlotte Observer seems to have thrown up the job of under taking to kill out the silver craze It says: "All the hose you can turn on a red-hot free silverite in these times cannot cool him off." We are wondering if Mr. Chair man Jones really believes that any body thinks he didn't say it. He knows better how to talk, at any rate, now. Chairman Jones has learned th first lesson m keeping his mouth shut. Wonder if he will need a sec ond lesson? A number of reports of county conventions were received too late for publication this week. RAILROAD X.KASES. Chapter I. Prior to the days of reconstrcti on the pecuniary affairs of the State of North Carolina were managed with rare honesty. They were not great in amount, but great enough to awaken the cupidity of unscrupu lous men, if such had been placed in control of them. There had been few instances in the history of the State in which the integrity of any high official had been brought into question. And indeed, looking bac over the long years that had elapsed from the organization of the State Government in 1776, down to the war, things moved on so smooth ly that it must be admitted our lo cal history is deficient in events ca culated to awaken a lively interest on the part of the people. Our bov and girls, and older people prefer to read of the greater events of for eign lands and ancient times. His tory must abound in stirring inci dents, of some sort, of good or evi report, to claim attention. During the nrst nail ot the century the ex penses of our State government never reached one hundred thou sand dollars; and it was not unti the legislature began to invest in railroad building, that the expendi tures began to exceed that amount In those primitive days the affairs of btate moved on with the regular ity of an old, well regulated family clock, and were only noticed when the hours were struck and when the machinery needed to be wound up The North Carolina railroad, ex tending from Goldsboro to Char lette, by way of Raleigh, Greens boro, and Salisbury, was chartered by the legislature at the session of 1S43 49. It is 223 miles in length and has cost the State and people nearly five millions of dollars. The original charter provided that when individuals should subscribe for one million and pay in half that amount, the State would subscribe for two millions. But this amount was found to be insufficient and in 1855, the State subscription was raised to three millions; and the road was completed. The Company, composed of the private stockholders and the State authorities, had its vicissitudes ofgood.and ill fortune; but devel oped into a profitable enterprise of great value to the country at large, a good investment of capital for the private stockholders, aod for the State. It also proved to be, unluck ily for the State and stockholders, a valuable fond to bo managed aod manipulated by unscrupulous poli ticians. The following were the officers of the Company appointed by Governor ioiden: William A. ftmitb. of Jonhson county, President; Ma jar General Wille D. Jon- and John K. Harrison of Wake eotutv: Rev. G. W. Walker and W. R. Albrieht. of iuilford; and William U. Hender son, of Davidson county. Directors. ice road was leased for thirty years by Smith aud the Directors to the Richmond and Danville Rail road Company on the 12th of Sep tember, IS, 1. The terms were that the latter Company should pay the North Carolina Railroad Company $200,000 per annum. The First pay ment, for the remainder of the year, lot i, wbb io ue maae January l, 1S72, in the amount, of 7S.OOO; and $130,000 every six months thereaf ter, during the thirty years. io secure payment, the Richmond aud Danville Company put up its own bonds and those of two other companies amounting to two hun dred thousand dollars, in the First National iiank of Charlotte: and the Company also entered into a bond of $130,000 to keep the road and other property leased in repair. The Company also agreed to pay not ex ceeding $260,000 as damages, if the whole of the property leased were not delivered up at the end of thirty years, or when the lease should be terminated. The Richmond and Danville agreed to pay all taxes. not exceeding $10,000; and the North Carolina road all above that sum. This lease was prepared by the attorneys of the Richmond and Dan ville railroad, (a fact proven by the testimony of Smith himself) and brought to the meeting of the Di rectors of the North Carolina road. Four Directors, Messrs. Holt, Davis, Shaver and Haywood, represented the private stockholders; and Smith, G. W. Walker, John McDonald, W. li. Albright, and W. F. Henderson, represented the interest of the State of North Carolina. No counsel was employed by the Board, to give an opinion as to the power of the Board to lease; nor was the lease submit ted to any counsel employed by the uoard, to examine and report upon its validity. Ex Governor Bragg was counsel for the Richmond and Danville Company; and the sage Guardians of the interests of the North Carolina road, the Board of Directors, did request the opinion of Mr. Bragg upon the point, whether they had the right to make the lease And, strange to say, that gentleman decided in favor of the right of his clients, and of the power and duty of the Board to do what his clients sent him there to ask. Smith and McDonald were amonsr tne memoers appointed bv Gov. Caldwell. Welker was State proxv. and intioduced the resolution in fa vor of the lease. But Smith stated that the lease was prepared by Col. Buford, a high officer of the Kichmond and Danville road. No notice of the particular object of the meeting or the board was eriven No advertisement of the matter was published. Smith frankly assigned as his reason for secrecy that it was to avoid an injunction. It is not the usual course for house-breakers to give notice to the owners and occu pants of the purpose, and the time when. The receipts of the North Carolina Railroad, from all sources, for the year ending May 31st, 1871, as sta ted by Smith in his annual report, amounted to $,7ol.l0. The ex penditures were $404,042.83; leaving as net prohts, over all expenses $340,718.33. But the ordinary oper ating expenses were only $279,96o.48 The net income over operating ex penses was therefore $464,795.68. The committee called attention to the following statement of Presi dent Smith in his last report which preceded the lease: "The net earn ings of your road for the last three . 1 ft - i t . years," said omitn, "over all ex penses, have been $924,798 43. This was an average of $308,266.17: and as will have been seen above, the net earnings tor the year imme diately preceding the lease, amount ed to $464,795 68. Yet, in the face of these admitted facts, Smith, the president of the road, and the board of directors those at least who rep resented the State stock, with the Governor's proxy at their back, transterred the road to the Rich mond & Danville Company for thirty years, at $zou,uuu per year. Smith offered as an excuse for this transaction, the statement that the Richmond and Danville and other roads were prepared to build parallel road or roads running in the same general direction, which would take away the trade of the .North Carolina Road; and, said Smith, "as every one can plainly see, it would totally destrov our rev enue," and therefore, the lease was an imperative necessity." Smith failed to state that the Rich mond and Danville could not have built the competing road except at a great outlay of capital; and that the company would have found it far more to its interest to have agreed to pay as much, annually, for the lease as the net receipts which the North Carolina comoanv derived from it the last preceding year. It was morally certain that the State would have something like a dupli cation of its population during the thirty years, and that the traffic on the road would increase in even lar ger proportion. But Smith gave a far more con clusive reason for making the lease in his answer to the following ques tion addressed to him by the com mittee. "Whether any sum of money or other consideration above the sum of $260,000 has been paid, or agreed to be paid, to any person in this State, or out of it, for the pur pose of procuring the lease, or, in any way connected with it! The committee say, "All the wit nesses examined deny any knowl edge of any consideration paid, or understood, or agreed to be paid, ex cept Major Smith, who states that he could not answer, as it might lead to questions eliminating himself." The committee add: "In this, we believe, lies the true secret of the lease." The precise answer of Smith, as reported by the committee, is as fol lows: "That he decline to answer, as the answer might criminate him, or lead to information that would crim inate him." And the committee again say: "When a public servant cannot an swer all questions touching his con nection with any transaction arret ing the interests committed te his I charge, it is not unfair to conclude that bis own interests rather than the State aud eompaay feave beem taken ear of-" The committee state the eaee nikUy. bat their meaning is unmis takable, vi.: that the leaee was pro cured by bribery. Mr. Albright stated that the board of directors those appointed by the Governor to represent the State, aa the principal stockholder all voted as Smith told them. Whether "their own inter ests, rather than those of the State and company," were of,n does not a p near. "taken care Bat Smith had a brave way of doin disrepu table things, and he was not the man to go back on his pals. IN MARTIN COUNTY. Th Pp Tbr Wa mil Tmwtimm tm Ikrnr la On4 Coaaty Cmnank Dakdkxs. X.

McCaskey, J. R. Smith, J. o. Keel, C. C. Fagan, Keuben Smith. Altienatm J. II. Waters. F. H. Edmunsoo, and W. T. Kiffin. The following resolutions were adopted : J.sMoIrtd, First. In it we approve of. and hereby endorse the action of, and piatlorm adopted at the national Peo ples Tarty convention at St. Ixuis. on l-J-i July.IsS;. Second, That the election law and county government bill are all good taws, ana u tne last legislature had pased no other lws, we could say they had performed a good work and we nereby declare that the pernetuitv of said laws are vitally necessary to preserve me Diessings or a ra bal lot and FAIR COOST. Third, That we favor a non-par tisan board of county commis sioners to be elected by the people in the coming election, for the reason that we would obviate the necessity of bavine annnintd minority board by the minority party, and for the further reason of Know ing the taxpayers of tbi count v that their property rights and in terests snail in t hi way be managed entirely by Mich a board as would have the confidence of all the people regardless of party influence or party manipulation. We therefore recom mend that this convention appoint a committee of three who shall arrange with a like committee from the Repub lican anu democratic parties to the end, if agreed to by the other two par ties, inai. mey snail name one commis sioner each, and the Populist party to name one at its following county con vention, and the said committee sall have power to receive and consider. any proposition in regard to fusion that may be made by either one of the old parties in regard to county offices, and to report the same for adoption or rejection at the next county conven tion. Fourth, That we point with Dride to the work of our representatives in Congress, especially the lions. Marion ituuer and Harry Miinner. and espe cially endorse the work of our State Senator, the Hon. T. E. McCaskey, and pieuge ine aeiegates to tne Senatorial and Congressional conventions to support these gentlemen, lion. Harry Skinner for Congress, and Hon. T. E. McCaskey for the State Senate. W. H. Wilson, Chm'n, J. H. Watkks, Sec'ty. HON. GEO. E. HUNT FOR CONGRESS. This is the year of all years when none but lire-tried patriots should be placed on guard. With a President and Senate for free silver, there must be a House of Representatives of the same kind elected. Every nominee for the House Rhmild h man with courage of the highest order, for he mil uc uaucu UOU IO WHDUSDQ OS fierce heat which melts weak, waxen minds. He should be a man who has passed through the fiery furnace of persecution bv the relentloan hatred nf goldbugs on the one hand, and the haters of civil liberty on the other. Such a man is Judge George E. Hunt, clerk of the Superior court of David son county. In the prime of life, well educated, full of information, a strong, forceful and logical debator, he would hurl defiance at all British money changers and American Tories. He has been a day hand in the cause of reform from the inception of the Peo ples Party. No man m the State has suffered more at the hands of the vote stealing and egg-throwing oligarchy than he. But out of all these trials he has emerged stronger and fuller of faith in the immortal and God-given principles of the great party of the people. At all times he has been filled with the ardor and the hnlv enthusi asm of a crusader. Notwithstanding me iaci mat social and professional ostracism sat upon his brow like a crown of thorns, and that he was stretched upon a golden cross of rot ten eggs, he has kept the faith. He defeated one of the strongest and wealthiest and most highlj educated men in the State for clerk, whose bold upon the people was supposed to be lasting. Not an hour baa passed since the organization of the Alliance that he has not labored for its advancement. To every position he has given his tireless efforts and unlimited time. He is popular with all parties. As there is a general concensus of opinion in favor of free silver his candidacy would be endorsed not only by Populists but by the liberal Republi cans whose enthusiastic support he would receive. Taken all in all and with disparity for none, it may be safely said that Judge Hunt would sweep the 7th N. C. district by a larger majority than any other man in it. No other voice would ring out so mercilessly and pitilessly against the damning influ ences of soulless corporations and heartless plutocratic powers. Allen Joxks, C. S. Grkkn.
