TBEIROIfLT HOPE FOR McKIXLZT. Now since the joint electoral tick' et has been arranged in this State the silver men have a chance to unite their votes and defeat the gold bugs, There is but one hope left for Mc Kinley and the gold men, and that is for the voters who oppose the gold standard to fail to support the joint electoral ticket. The Char lotte Observer is quick to see and seize upon this opportunity to elect McKinley and defeat Bryan, though professing to support him. The fol lowing is its editorial advice to its readers, under date of September 23rd: 'Men whose boast is that thev have never scratched the Democratic ticket and While we think this element will again ultimately control the Demo cratic party, if that party lives, we do not think it represents the senti ments and wishes of the great ma jority of the voters in the ptrty now. And hence we hope that Popultsts will pay no serious attention to the advice of these " goldbugs in dis guise," We would earnestly plead that Populists do not permit them selves to be annoyed or incensed by what they advise or say. Do not, oh! do not be so small so inconsiderate so foolish as to try to retaliate by saying if these Democratic papers advise Democrats to scratch the names of Populists oil the ticket, it is the duty of Populists to scratch the names of Democrats off the tick et. Such a course as this will throw us headlong into one of the most subtle traps ever set by goldbugs, It would lead to a goldbug victory in this State. Just think a .moment, and you will see what a cute scheme and deep laid plan these "goldbugs in disguise" are trying to carry out Will you be caught by it! We hoye not. Let us have sense enough to avoid this snare and courage enough to condemn it. ' of of of ANDTI1KY IIAVKH'T ANSWERED YET. We asked a question last week of our Democratic "friends," and as to that question they have preserved a silence thick enough and dense enough to be cut into solid blocks. It was a question that puzzled t hem- just like any question that touches upon the vital issues of the day puz zles them. They stand as dumb as a sheep beiore the shearer, lift us ask that question again. Why is it that Democrats, who are now eyen surpassing (if possible) Populists in making "Populist" speeches, and who are out doing the ONLY ORIGINAL SILVER MAN in de claring for free silver why is it, we ask, that these Democrats meet in districts now represented in Con gress by Populists who are known to favor silver, and put up "free sil ver" Democrats against these free silver Populists? Do these Democrats hope to split the silver vote by this sort or proceeding, ami thus insure the election of goldbugs from these districts? Do they not know that the Peoples party is the only party of record favoring this issue, and do they not know that the cause of sil ver is absolutely safe with a Popu list, when the clearest record made shows that the cause of silver has not been safe with Democrats. What then can be the purpose these "tree silver" Democrats in trying to defeat these Populists who are already in Congress? Can thsy, will they give a satisfactory heads, and are boldly advising Dem- answer to this question?

It ia their duty to- scratch the name of every -Populist from the elec toral ticket and vote only for those men who will vote for the Democratic candi dates. In ho doing it cannot be said that they are scratching a Democratic ticket, for it cannot be claimed that this hybrid affair is one. Now what could please Mark II an na and the gold-bugs better than this. Democrats to scratch Popu list electors and Populists to scratch Democratic electors. , If enough of this is done, of course, the McKin ley electors will be elected. This is what the Observer's advice would lead to. Is that what the Observer desires? If any eo-called Democrats wants to scratch Populist electors let him do it He will simply prove that he is an agent of McKinley in disguise. But Populists are not made of that kind of stuff. Everyone will vote the joint electoral ticket, Decause everyone wants the defeat of the McKinley electoral ticket. The Charlotte Observer has now found a chance to elect McKinley, but no Populist will become a part ner of the Observer in its goldbug scheme. chmpionship, if hi silence gives seeming consent to the charges that be is ia sympathy with trusts and W all street syndicates, label There is no doubt that had Mr. Bryan and the Chicago platform made this the burning issue from the start, instead of sacrificing every thing to free silver, Mr. Bryan could hare swept the country. There is no doubt, as Mr. McKinley himself says, that to bury this free silver heresy forever it is necessary to have "not a bare majority, bat a mighty one. Anything short of that will leave the question to further dispute.! There is no doubt that he can get this "sweeping and impressive ma jority" for which he asks, only by drawing to bis support these hun dreds of thousands of hesitating vo ters. What do you think, Mr. McKinley, about trusts and monopolies? What do you think about Wall street syn dicates and the encroachments of corporate greed? What do you think of the perversion of laws for private gain? Wbat.do yon think should be the character of the Attorney-General yon will appoint? What do you think about the enforcement of the anti-trust laws now dead upon the statute books? What do you think about the corrupt and aggressive in terference of pools, trusts and mo nopolies in politics? You have made many able speech es on the money question and the tariff. You have shown an intellect ual force that has raised you in the esteem of those who have opposed you.

Nearly, if not quite half the Dem ocratic papers in the State are round ly denouncing the electoral co-operation recently entered into by and be tween the Populist and Democratic State committees. Some papers, no tably the Charlotte Observer, are carrying only the Democratic part of the electoral ticket at their mast- HOW MINI "3UCKER8" ARK THEKE IN NORTH CAROLINA? The Washington Post sizes up the meaning and purpose of the bolting gold Democratic ticket. It says: As everybody knows, the object of the Indianapolis convention was, and the purpose of the men of whom it was composed, and all of whom they rep resented, is to beat Bryan and the Democracy in the only possible way; to wit, by aiding in the election of McKinley and the restoration of the Republican party to execute the con trol of the government. After ma ture deliberation and anxious con sultation among the leading bolters, it was decided that the putting of another ticket in the field would more effectually promote the success of the Republican party, more hope fully contribute to the defeat of the Democracy than for those leaders to go boldly over to the Republicans FOCI AND STROWD AT RAL.KIUH, Messrs. Pou and Strowd held a joint discussion last Thursday at Metrupol itan Hall, in Raleigh. A large crowd turned out to bear these two nominees for Congress from the 4th district. Mr. Strowd opened the discussion. He commenced by giving a clear but brief account of the monetary affairs of this country from 18C4 up to the present time, lie stated facts which could not be refuted. He showed when and where the Democratic party had failed to give the promised reforms and wipe out the bad laws enacted by the lie publican party. He told of his faith in the Democratic party, but linally, when convinced that that party was no better than the Republican party he severed his connection with it and joined the Peoples Party. -In 1894 be was the Peoples Party candidate for Congress, lie was elected by a band some majority, lor which he thanked the people. His record in Congress spoke for itself at all times he advo cated and voted for the reforms he bad pledged to his constituents. He was now again a candidate and advocating the issues oi the Peoples Party plat form. Very soon alter Mr. Strowd com menced his speech it was evidenced that the audience was, for the most part, Democrats and not in sympathy with the speaker. After an hour's speech Mr. Strowd gave way to Mr. Pou. When that eren tleman stepped forward he received a nattering ovation from his fellow Democrats. Mr. Pou led off with a very fine metaphor of "a child being nursed and reared by a loving mother for many years and then late in life the child renouncing the mother and holding her up to public scorn. This is what Mr. Strowd has done. Born in the bosom of Democracy reared in her lap, and nurtured under its tender care for many years he (Mr. Strowd) comes before you to-night and boasts that he has left the Democratic party, and not content with this he would hold it up to scorn." Mr. Pou should have said that the Democratic party had left its Democ racy and Jeft'ersonian principles. Mr. Strowd still clings to Jeffersonian principles, and the party, not be, had left him. Mr. Pou continued in this strain. He never once defended the faithless LETTER. ectinsr and nroDer to note that Hon. Thoa. E.

C Sept. 2C The great national campaign is now near ing the point where the hardest and most decisive lighting begin. Presi dential campaigns, a a. rule, are won or lost during the month of October. It is clear that Uryan has the people with him now. Nothing but the expendi ture of an immense amount of money or some unforeseen turn of affairs can defeat bim. Yet, everything is still in doubt.

THK KAILBOAD8 FORCING THE I Sri II. Your correspondent learns at Peo ples Party headquarters that they have more demands for the folder en titled "The Wage Karner and Free Silver" than for any other document which tbev publish. Local commit tees are ordering these folders, and are P'y and the gold men placing one in the hands of every rpattaat KVfttetratlaa Too much stress eannot be laid upon the importance of every voter registering this year, nor ran too much publicity bo given to the dates for registration, because every ve tr should b fallv informed as to that they were reproduced in many .of ltne um( anj plr in order that he the labor journal of the country. In proriy qualify himself to rer tbe spring of 1833, while Watson n .

This is considered a complete and elec tive reply to the gold circular, which the railroads and other cor porations are handing out to their employees to try lo array the wage earner against the wealth-producer in this fight. The action of the railroad companies in boldly entering into politics, and becoming the active and aggressive allies of the gold men, is forcing rapidly the question of pub lic ownership of transportation to the front. In short, they are making every silver man come over to the Populist position that the government should own and operate the means of trans portation, not only so as to take these agencies of commerce out of politics, but also to give the people lower transportation rates and to insure that no a discrimination shall be made against any class of our people or any section of the country. It is safe to say that half of the corruption that has occurred in Congress and Legis lative balls has been through railroad lobbies and railroad influences, direct or indirect. Next to a correct finan cial system nothing could do more to add to the prosperity of our people and to purify our politics and the ad ministration' of our government than for the means of transportation to be operated at cost for the benefit of all the people, as the postal system is now operated. It is sure to be the next great leading question in our national campaign. WATSON HAKES A GREAT IMPRESSION IN THE WEST. Reports received at Peoples Party headquarters show that Watson has made as brilliant a campaign in the West as Bryant is now making in the East. The national committee is hav ing Watson's great speech delivered Lincoln, jxeDrasKa, printed as a campaign document, and will distrib uie ii in targe numoers. Dates are now being arranged for Watson dur ing the month of October, immediate ly after the close of the Georgia cam paign.

Also against the Pinkerton thugs who were hired by monoplitt to ahoot down the workingmen when they protected against wrongs and demanded justice ataon has frequently been thanked by the labor organizations for the bold stand which be took while in Congress in their behalf. Mr. Watson ilso took an active part in exposin and throttling an infamous bill thg was attempted to pass through Con gress to strengthen and enlarge the standing army. No paper in tha I'nited states took a stronger stand for Mr. Debs, and more vigorously de nounced tbe action of the Federal court in imprisoning Mr. Debs with out trial by jury, and denounring Cleveland's high-handed act in send ing Federal troops into Illinois again t the protest of it'a tiovernort ban Mr. Watson's paper. The laboring men know from Mr. Watson's record that he is their true and tried friend. Mayor Mrong.of New York City, wno is supporting McKinley, refutes to allow a stand Io be built in the city for Mr. Kryan to speak from. Thia is the first time that the Mayor of New York has ever refused to allow a stand to be put up for any public xpeaker representing a great party. This is a species of the littleness and prsecu tion that will help more than it hurts. The American people believe in fair will make no convert by trying to stifle bin peecb.

If you don't believe this follow them. Bat it is the clearly understood policy of the Palmer and Buckner management to encourage voting directly tor McKinley. The use of the Indianapolis ticket is to catch such voters as will not go over, and might vote for Bryan if no choice between him and McKinley were presented. As a matter of course, the Indian apolis convention was bound to put a good deal of old-fashioned De mocracy in its platform. It had to keep up a pretense of opposition to Republican doctrine, and all the delegates were well aware that the way to help the Republicans most was to seem to desire to hurt them. In accordance with this plan, the Indianapolis platform was furnished with an old time Democratic tariff plans. The Re publican organs, fully appreciating the peculiar situation of the bolters, are making no attacks on their tariff plank or anything else' in their de claration of faith. Sweet peace reigns between them." Every gold Democratic (every man who will be benefited by the gold standard) will vote for McKin ley. This Palmer and Buckner ticket was put up to catch the votes of tb.8 "suckers" who have been fooled by the gold Democrats. How many suckers are there in North Car olina? SPEAK OUT, MR. McKINLBY. The following editorial appeared inthe New York World (goldbug) all that and spoke of its good works, He mentioned nothing specifically but in a rambling fashion and these good acts of the party that he spoke of all dated back of and during the time that Mr. Strowd was connected with the Democratic party, and before it yield ed to the grasping influences of mo nopoly and greed. During the entire speech Mr. Pou not once referred to the history of the 53rd Congress which had a Democratic majority of 14S, with a Democratic President and the power. to enact good laws. He glossed over its bad record with the remark that the Democratic party was but hu man, and it was but human to err. But he reached the climax of bis speech when saying that his party had always and all times been with the people, and that the free and unlimit ed coinage of silver had never been an issue before the people and when the people demanded it the Democratic party took it up and incorporated it in its platform. it silver nas never been an issue before the people, what, we ask, were Messrs. Aycock, Glenn, Simmons and other Democratic speakers stumping the State for during the last Presiden tial campaign talking silver and tell ing their hearers that the Democratic party would give them free coinage of silver if they, the people, would "give them a chance!" At the same time Mr. Glenn was telling the people that he had a letter from Mr. Cleveland, wno wrote him that he was for free silver. The Democratic speakers done heaps of talking on what, according to Mr. l'ou, was not an issue. In this connection we desire to call attention to tbe fact that Mr. "YVood- ard, Democratic Congressional nomi nee irom toe zna aistnct, made a speech at Warrenton recently, and we quote his utterances of the silver ORGANIZED LABOR STANDING SOLTDLY FOR SILVER. In view of the desperate efforts the gold men are making for tbe labor vote, it is interesting to note that every laoor paper in tne country that is the organ of a large labor organization is for Bryan and free silver.

Tbe silver agitation has been groin el on for years and the Peoples Party incorporatea ic in its piatiorm and I has been educating the people on ttel money question ever since its or ganization. Now the people are clam oring for it so strongly that the Democratic party had to adopt it in its platfor b at Chicago or eo before the American people without an issue.

As long as this ele ment stays with the Democratic par ty, it is the AMt old party, despite its assertions that it has purged itself. We do not know whether this ele ment or the repenting element will views upon this question which he ha? so far failed to do.
