A DKXOCKATIO BCHEMK-LOOK OCTI1 The Democrats seem to be onabie to cut loose from their methods of trick ery and fraud. They now have up a scheme against which we desire to ut ter a warning. The warning is espe- Douglass (while Douglass was ,M' rT' 7:""' Wl regiswar. u juMjCTviriiMiuuWDQ wm consul Die the precinct boards of election. J The firjst intimation we had of this scheme on the part of Democrats came to us through some confidential cor respondence, and is about as follows : The election law provides that there shall be two boxes one for the ballot containing the names of the nominees on the National, State, Congressional and Judicial ticket, and another box for the ballot containing the names of the nominees oa the legislative and county ticket. The law further re quires tbat the judges of election shall see that each ballot is put into the ricbt box; but if it should so happen tbat a ballot shall be found in the wrong box, it shall be presumed to to rule the in remember what it has cost this country because they refused to listen to the Peoples Party four years ago. If yoi do not listen now to the warning given as to North Carolina, you will, just so sure as time endures and you live, see the day when you will be willing to attempt. The Populista found friend- rep8nt 0f your folly in sack-cloth and j hve heen deposited there by mistake ly forces in the Republican party of ashes. such strength as to be able to defy the Democrats to do their worst And then tor awhile the disappoint ment of the Democrats found vent in all Borta of abusive expletives against the Populists. But they kept up a vindictive fight. They denounced the Populists as "gold bugs," Hanna hirelings and every thing else. They made themselves hoarse by these howls, and their can vassers and speakers called upon the people to help them run away with the platform thet had stolen from the Peoples party. . C The cry of "nigger" by theboutnerff' Bourbons, and the cry of "Rebel Brig adiers" by the northern and eastern hireling shouters and snorters of or ganized robbery, kept the people blinded to the questions of real nation al importance for more than twenty vears. And here come the Democrats trying to revive those old, hoary slo gans for the purpose of making the people forget and again become blind ed to the questions which have been raised and carried to the front as the vital and overshadowing issues of the day. The breaking out of these old cries among the Democrats shows the cloven foot and forked tail. The party has managed to keep these characteristics concealed to some extent for awhile, but they show forth now, and they prove the Democratic party to be what it has always been. It is before the people for judgment and we are con' COXUBKS!4IOAAI. TICKET. 1st District IIaurt Skinner, of Pitt eounty. . 2nd District D. S. Mo3, of Hali fax county. 3d District John E.

But these Democratic speakers and canvassers miscalculated the stuff that the people of North Carolina were made of. The people as many as heard these speakers did not rush in to help the Democratic party steal somebody else's platf oxm and prop- tent to await the peoples verdict erty. The only answer these speak ers got was an expression on the countenances of the people which read plainly in this way: "No, we won't help you run away with the People's party platform. You be long to a party that made us as strong promises four years ago as you are- making now; and all through these four years (until a few months) you have been praising Cleveland (gold bug) and trying to get Matt Ransom returned the Senate. No, we hear you, but we do not believe you. You cau't fool us a;jin." FAI.SK IX THE PAST-FAtSE IN THE PKESEJiT. We are about ready to believe that this campaign will add one more for cible illustration to the hollownesS and insincerity of Democratic declarations and professions. If you will read the State Democratic platform of 1S96 you will find the following declara tion : 'We declare our belief that the peace, prosperity and happiness of the people oi JNortn uarolina depend on defeat or the Republican State IlfcttlC 14 TUB STOUT. We do not wish to become proay by reiteratiou, but this is a time when im per taut, and living facts should be continually kept in mind by' the people. The 6troug impres sion these facts make on us is our excuee for a continued mention of them. They are a part and an im portant p.rt of the story which baa led to the present conditions in this State. The story began with the meetiag of the "Great Lawyer Convention" hild in Raleigh on June 25 th. That convention called itself a Democratic convention. It declared for free sil ver with wide open mouth and lusty lungs, and thrn proceeded to slam the door in the face of the Peoples Such was the reply which these speakers read in the faces of tbe people. And then what? These Democratic speakers came to Ril eigh pell-mell. They went to Dem ociatic headquarters and reported that they were . not convincing the people of Democratic honesty, and that the people were against them And then instantaneously, and not until then did the Democratic bosse3 become convinced that it was expedient to unite thb silver forces ! ! A man with ,the blind staggers can see the inwardness of this sodden conviction on the part of the Democrats. It seems unnecessary to say more to make this matter clear. But em- the ticket in the coming election." This is a sweeping beliet. Just analyze it a little. "The peace, pros perity and happiness of the people or Xorth Carolina" depend on Repub lican defeat. If the Republican ticket is not defeated, then according to the Democratic bklief, the peace, pros perity and happinbss of the State are gone. JNow, tne converse meaning or these terms are strife, ruin and mis ery. And the Democratic party, ac cording to its own declaration, is in venting these disasters upon the State by refusing to do anything that will defeat the Republican ticket. Party that party which had brought Phs9ia ma? be laid uPon these factK this issue to the front against the rbnt tlie Democrats set out to de stroy the Peoples party and wipe it from the face of the earth. But the P. P. would not wipe out. They called Populista blather skites, tricksters, unprincipled poll t'cians, goldbugs and anarchists, AND THEN MADE A PKOPOSITION TO "FUSl" WITH ALL THESE YAKIETIES of Populists. And when the Populists could not and would' not "fuse" with them. aga fierce oppositiea of a National Dem ocratic party administration and a most malignant obstruction by an organization calling itself the Demo cratic party in the State of North Carolina.

Uave'nt you heard them de nounce and vilify men who ventured to call on the "nigger'1 to vote against the Democrats, and charged those men wna seesmg 10 array tne negro against the white man and thus fo ment racial strife? And yet these Democrats leave nothing nmlnnn that Ad meanness p?ned the f yea of the they can do to array the white man thought" to the Populists, and that thought was inspired by the actio a of the Democrats themselves. The Democrats, after jumping onto the Peoples Party platform, began a vig orous effort to push " every Populist off of it This kind of foolishness The Democratic party has made a bold declaration here. If it means what it says, it would be patriotic enough to surrender Us existence, if by so doing It could help to avert the calamities which it declares are im minent. That party can do much in the way of talkinar, declaring: and promising, but it has always proven a failure when it comes to acting. True, it did make a proposition to the Popu lists involving Populist support of the Democratic nominee for Governor, But it tne 1'opulist State committee had accepted that jroposition, the members of the Populist party would never have sustained the committee's action. The Populist committee was not silly or dishonest enough to enter into a compact which could never be carried out. A. vn democrats Knew mis. ihjt werr plainly told so before they ever umuK lueir proposal, xms Deing 80, the only thing that could be done to minimize the chances of success of the Republican ticket, headed by Judge D. L. Russell, was for the Democrats to concentrate their forces in an effort to elect the Peoples Party nominee for Governor. They may say that they could not have "delivered their goods" to any greater extent than the Popu lists could. Well, if that be so, why did they want too put their party in a false light by making the sweeping declaration quoted above? If the con vention represented the sentinents of the Democratic party, why does that party persist in a course which cer tainly gives the Republican head of the ticket a chance of election at least. Ai me eiecnon oi mac iicKet means what the Democrats say it means strifb, ruin and misery every chance for its success ought to be min imized to the least degree, and the Democratic party, according to its own declaration, is an enemy and a traitor to the State of North Carolina if jt fails to do everything in its power to minimize the chance of Republican 6 access in the State. Now listen, The above declaration of the Democrats means kothixg. The Democratic party will show its inher ent hypocrisy and dishonesty by its action. It will not make the great move, which it now has a golden op portunity to make, to prevent the elec tion of the Republican nominee for Governor. Now listen further. The of the officers of election, and unless uch presumption shall -be rebutted, ba ballot shall be counted. . Now, this clause of the law is tbe basis of the Democratic scheme Let us suppose that when a Democratic voter goes . to the boxes to vote, he can manage to put a county ticket into bach box This will mean two votes for the Dem ocratic candidate for the legislature and none for the Democratic State ticket. But Democrats have abandon ed all hope of electing their State ticket, and they will now make a des perate effort to get control of the leg islature. Let us suppose that twenty or thirty Democrats in a precinct shall manage to put a county ticket in eacc jox. 11 there should he ten or twenty precincts in the county, this would mean from two hundred to three hundred fraudulent votes for the Democratic legislative candidate, and might turn the election in favor of tbe Democratic candidate for the leg' islature, provided the ballots should be counted as cast. If this scheme could be carried out geneially, it might mean a legislature in control of the Democratic party and then well, you know the rest 1 Of course, this scheme, or any scheme like it is imjiossible provided the judges of election are all watchful and true to their trust. The law says that the judges shall see that each ballot shall be put into the bight box. In order to be certain that this is done, the judges must necessarily look at each ballot in order to determine which box it shall be deposited in. And if the judges will fake the precaution thus required of them, they can kill this little scheme as dead as it can die. So, lookout for this and all other schemes. Our enemy will not hesitate to attempt anything, no matter how fraudulent, if they can see the slight est glimmer oi a cnance to gain any thing by it. It seems to us that this plan is impracticable except in cases where the entire board of election shall be "bought up," and we do not believe that the Democrats can do enough "buying" in this matter to amount to anything. We have re verted to the scheme, however, to show that any and every sort of trick will be resorted to, and to warn our people to'be on the sharp lookout for any trick than can be invented. Democrats are retting ready to cbJ lenge about everything in sight that u not Democratic They will make an effort to wipe nearly every name off tbe registration oiks that is sot a Democratic name. Let the boards of election see that jest ice is done to all. We venture to tcggttt that Populist and Republican registrars and judge and Populist and Republican voters be careful not to challenge needlessly. If there is any known or easily supposed reason why the name of a voter which may be on the books should not remain there, challenge that vote without BXrSRBXCB OB BX0ABD TO THB T ABTT to which hb may BBXoxo. In hearing tbe challenges see that full justice is done. Let each party have a bearing and try to dispose of the challenge z speedily as possible so as not to have a challenge unheard at tLe cloee of day. It would be a good plan to let ih challenges be heard alternately will regard to parties. For instance, let th case of a Rapublican voter who nay b challenged be heard; then take lb case of a Democras who may be cbal- enged; theu a -Populist, then begin with the Republican party again and alternate all the way through. Donl resort to any trickery and make op your minds not to submit to any trick ery tbom. any soubce.

LONDON FINANCIAL NEWS ARTICLE Some time since we published an ar ticle from the London Financial News under the title, "The Grip of Gold." It has been printed nearly all over the country, and the Republicans have as eerted that the article was a forgery. It now appears that it was not a for eery, and its characterization as such grew out of the fact that it was pub lished April 30, 1894, and not in 1S96 as represented. Tho whole article is furnished by Durrant's Press-Cutting Bureau, No. 57, Holborn Viaduct, London, and was a comment on Senator Don Cameron's speech in the Senate, urging that the United States "must throw off the in Quence of English ideas, if she means to maintain the steady march of her prosperity," and the suggestion of Sen ator Iiodge, that the United States shut out British goods until England gives her assent to bimetallism. Among the many papers that have printed the article was the Washing ton Ppst, and made editorial comment upon I same. Tbe Post in Its issue of the 16th inst. says: "The Post had never made anything of the Financial Newa article. Still, in the interest of history and to put a stop to a ridicu lous hubbub of forgery, we opened cor respondence with Durrant's, in Lon don, hnd in due time received an an- swer which we publish : 'Durrant's Press Cuttings, I aW.

Upon receiving a similar .clipping from Chicago, I at oncei compared it with the file kept at tbe f British Museum, and have dis- Datahed to that city a sworn declara tiom tbat the publication is quite in ordr.
