Concerning the temporary trouble tbe Caucasian Lad last wt-ek, a few BUgottions may b m order Lire. There will be no effort to trlucidate or elaborate in detail, but there are one or two fads which ought to be stated and which ought to impress our friends. In truth, what i3 here presented mit have thiir consider ation if they care to set; tne paper prope rly supported and sustained. All during the past two year.-s the most general and conspicious utter ance and remark among tho people has been "hard timos." Hundreds upon hundredH of letters came to this ofiiee abking for opicK of the Caucasian, while tho writers stated that they would like to become reg ular readers of the paper, but did not feel able to pay for it. In Au gust of 181K5, we made a proposition to send the Caucasian three months for J,ten cents. It was anticipated that two or threo thousand people would take advantage of this offer, and wo thought we could Ktand the loss that would thu3 be involved. Hut more than seventeen thous and people took up that proposition Now, ten cents will juat about pay one-half of the expense of bending out the Caucasian for three months. There was a loss of nearly ten cents on each cf these subscribers, and the proposition, instead of being profitable, just eat into the fund of the Caucasian to tho extent of about l,.r)U0. We thought wo had learned a les son at this point, and resolved not to be caught at fcuch a bad bargain again. Iiut wo forgot it in the excitement of the last campaign, and another proposi lion was made to penU tne paper during the campaign for ten cents. About six thousand people swooped down on that proposition, and nearly $500.00 more of tho capital stock went to meet tLe r xpenso thus in curred. uentleraen, fellow citizens r.nd brethren! We are done with these kind of projects. It is timo to stop them when tho result is a levy by the sheriff. The Caucasian is the central representative of about two hundred thousand voters under the co-operation ilan. If there are not enough men to support the pa "fter in this vast army of voters, then th$ inevitable conclusion is that the paper will not be wanted, and it will have to stop. The price hereafter will bo $1.00 for one year; 00 cents for six months; 33 cents for three months. This statement settles the future subscrip tion price for "off" years, "on" years and all sorts of years. We marked off this list on Novem ber 7th the names of six thousand subscribers whose timo had expired. These names ought to be replaced at once by regular somi-annual, or annual subscribers. Their support and sympathy is needed now and needed very much. If the sheriff is allowed to swoop down ou this office again, the chances are that he will swallowj.he entire outfit, and that there will be nothing left of it. We have done what wo could. If you will do HALF of what YOU can do, all will be well. tVUT 1I1 SENATOR IK1TUIAICI) CHANGE? The question has often been asked, why did Fritchard go over to the gold men, when ho knew ho could be re-elected if he stood tquarely by the people and for silver 1 Some havo said that he did it to got into McKinley's Cabinet, andothcr3 have advanced various other rea&ns. We think tho explanaticn U that the gold ring told him that they wanted k gold Senator from North Carolina, and that he must make some kind of an announcement that he Lad chang ed his views so that he could vote with them for the next six years Senator Pritchard no doutt protest ea ana wia mem mat lie could not be elected unless he stood for free silver. They no doubt then told him that they did not want him tlecied if he would vote for silver &c, atd tVi t it tin Al.1 i rt k u uiu uvk ku wer io meir side they would put up the money to fight him and back some othtr man. una ining f eems to be clear and that is that Pritchard's change was not a real conversion lika that of Pau.'j. When a man is converted and has strong, heart-felt convictions h&i enthusiastic and goes before the pub lie announcing his change and tru ing his reasons therefor as Paul did. Bat Senator Pritchard seems to have baen ashamed of his conversion and was afraid to try to explain his reas ons for changing. It is notieeable that he made very few speeches dur ing the last campaign, and that he eould not be gotten to speak where he would likely have a large Popu list audience. He made only a few speeches and those were mostly at manufacturing towns where he talked tariff and dodged the money ques tion. There never was a time when it was more important for the people to be certain where a man stands before they send him to the Senate than now. We have no fear that any 1'opuliet will vote to send a gold bug or a monopolist to the United States Senate. The boasts of the gold men that they will control the Peoples Party votes in the Legislature are not only absurd, but also the Peoples Party. an insult to Til K IhSL'E AH DEAD AS THE PARTY. A few days after the election it was pretty generally suggested that the democrat would make another fight in the next election, and that their is fiue would be the "color line." Well, we shall not be surprised to see tbis attempted. That isaue is dead, of course a dead as Judas Iscariot; but then the Democratic party is about dead and nothing better can now be expected from that source. Ii nt let us suppose that there is some life in that party, and that it attempts to bring that bogy old issue forward What could they do with it? It is stated that the census of!890 gives tbe number of white men of voting age in this State at -J.'J.'i.OOO. There has been some increase since IS'jO, and it will be a very conservative statement to say that there are now as many as 245,000 white voters in the State. The Democrats did all they could to draw the color jine in the campaign just closed, and if it be admitted that every man who voted for Cyrus B. Watson, the Democratic nominee for Governor, was a white man, it will be seen that Watson received but little OVKK HALF THE WHITE VOTE OF THE 6TATK ! For out of a total of :U5,000 white votes, he received, in round numbers about 130,000. This makes it appear that there are ll',00tt,white voterB in -North Carolina who will either vote against the Democrats or who will not vote for them. Now is'nt the above a beautiful ba sis for the Demys to try to revive the old bugaboo cry of "nigger" upon!! Actually there are about as many white voters against the Democratic party as there are in sympathy with it, and yet these Dems announce that they will try to bring back among a progressive and honest people the ridiculous old "scare crew" of a generation ago, and make it work. Verily, it seems that the poor old Democratic party is on its last legs Let these facts be noted now and re membered hereafter. The figures may . i . . . maKe ii appear mat mere are more white men outside the Democratic party than there are in it. SOME &CHCMES OF THE LOOTERS. m i t t t i ne jj-amocrats nave made some great efforts to trade off the State's interest during the past two years, and in some cases have been success ful or at least thev think thev have. . Last year tho Democratic State administration leased the North arouna raiiroaa ior ninety nine years at a price that was ridiculous ly and scandalously low as compared with the true rental worth of that property. If it can bo arranged so that the inside of this deal can be shown up, there will be something for the people to wonder at. There has recently been a deal by which many thousands of acres of the State lands in Dare county have been eold to somebody. This has been conducted with strange quiet, and the man who thinks that there is not some pretty scheming in this matter is very much behind the pro cession. And now this same Democratic administration is making a strenuous effort to put the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad, which is practi cally owned by the State, into the hands of some syndicate. Every thing had been arranged to make this deal as quietly and secretly as the other railroad deal was made bat the representatives of the people got some knowledge of the affair and the matter has been stopped temporarily at least, by a restrain ing order from Judge Robinson. Great Scott! But haven't these Dems gone into the secret deal and looting business pretty strongly. It seoms that their policy is to take ev erything the State has and turn it over to some trust or syndicate with out letting the public or people know anything about it. If in the course of the next two years the people do no congratulato themselves on having wiped out the Dam. gang that has been infesting the State officts, we will pay the bet. V SOME TAIL, MMIIEKS AGAINST THE DEMOCRATS. There are sometimes ways of pre senung ugures which will obscure what tbey really mean if they are not closely examined. You will never see a Democratic paper acknowledge that tbe head of tbe Democratic ticket was oeacen Dy a majority of 71,000, but sucu is tne stubborn fact. Let's see. To begio with there was a total of 331,000 votes cast in the OfcA -r . , - otam ior x'resiaential electors. Of this number of votes Cyrus IB. Wat son, the head of the Democratic ticket, received 130,000 in round numbers There were, therefore, 201,000 votes cast which be did not receive ana ,me aiuerence between the 130,000 which he did receive .and the 201,000 which he did not receive is the majority of votes by which the head of tbe Democratic ticket was repudi ated io North Carolina. That differ ence Is 71,000. It is true that all this majority may not have gone to any one man nor to any several men, but is also tree that t was against the head of tbe Demo cratic ticket, and we can make notb- og less of it than a defeat of tbe Dem ocratic ticket by TIXWJwajojutt. LET EACH CANDIDATE MAKE THE PLEDGE THAT VAKCE MADE. We understand that certain gold men continue to claim tn&t tney have some Populist members of the egislature pledged to vote for a 'sound money" man for the United States Senate. The Caucasian wants to go on record again as say ing that we do not believe there is any foundation for any such absurd claim. In fact we denounce it as 'also. In the legislature of 1891 the Al iancemen would not even vote for Zeb Vance for re-election to the Senate till they pledged him on more than one important question. No body doubted that Senator Vance was squarely for the free coinage ef silver, but he was pledged on the banking monopoly and for an in come tax. If there is any doubt about where any candidate stands let him be required to make a pledge like Zeb Vance made. THOS. E. WATSON'S LETTER. Hon. Tbos. E. Watson, vice-Presi dential nominee of tbe Peoples Party, wrote his letter of acceptance and mailed it to National Chairman Butler. Tbe letter was delayed for some time. When Chairman Butler received it, be wrote to Mr. Watson offering some suggestions. This correspondence prevented tbe publication of Mr. Wat son's letter. Since the campaign, bow ever, Mr. Watson has published his let ter in his paper. It makes about five columns. We present Chairman But ler's letter this week, to which we ask attention, so that it may be well re membered;in connection with Mr. Wat son's letter, which we will publish next week. Note On account of the consolida tion of tbe two issues Chairman But ler's letter in reply to Mr. Watson's letter is also crowded out of this issue, and both will appear in our next issue. THE CAUCASIAN'S EMBARRASSMENT. There was no paper published last week owing to some financial diffi culties. These now have been ar ranged for and the issues of Nov. 10 th and Nor. 2Cth have been con solidated and the missing issue will be made good to all subscribers. We notice that The Caucasian's temporary trouble Las been given wide publication through the Demo cratic press, but we desire to add our version, as we failed to note it in any paper save the Raleigh Press- Visitor, which paper kindly tender ed us th use of us columns &nd from wh::h we 1: k.j the following facts as they were: Editor of Pkess-Visitor: Will you kind ly allow me space in your paper to correct a statement or two that appeared in this morning's News and Observer in reference to The Caucasian's financial embarrass ment. First, it is reported that Mr. Holding. owner of the Raleigh Paper Company has made every effort to collect amount due, but had been continually put off with prom ises until "forbearance ceased to be a vir tue." In reply to this I bee to state that to y personal knowledge Mr. Holding re ived October 5th. S50: and November 11th. $75,00, with the assurance that more would be paid in a week or two, and that the en tire amount would be settled as soon as pos- 8i Die. Second, the News and Observer says: "That it is learned from another source that some of the printers have three months wages due them." This is also grossly wrong, it is true The Caucasian has been in arrears, but never more than three weeks at any time, and the person who stated otherwise, if correctly reported, made a false statement. Permit me to say further that upon the surface of the whole matter, to me, indi- behind the move of Mr. Holding which I deduct from the following: On Tuesday morning Mr. Holding desired to sell The Caucasian 79 reams of paper. The quality and packing of the paper was not up to the standard desired ana so I told Mr. Holding and that The Caucasian did not care to agree to take said lot. Mr. Holding admit ted that the packing of the paper was not what he ordered, but since it had been put up in this way, ask d me to take it at a discount or one quarter cent less per pound, which we refused to accept, stating that we could not use the paper at any price. This oc curred at 11 o ciocK Tuesday; at 2 o'clock be secured judgment on amount due and placed the matter in the sheriffs hands. The Caucasian has been purchasing pa per from the Raleigh Paner Comnnv tnr the past fifteen months, which amounts to aooui ou.uw pounds, or 1,448 reams, mak ing the weekly average number of Caucas ians published about ll,00O.Deducting from this the Clinton edition of the ru which is 1.000, leaving the Raleigh edition 10,000 as the weekly average for the past fif teen months, for which Mr. Holding has received a good revenue during that period. Since last August the Caucasian has promptly paid cash for all paper purchased from Mr. Holding and faithfully endeav ored to pay off the debt of previous deliv ery, and but for the difficulty in making our collections, would have settled in full tne amount due. One more word and I am done. The po litical slurs that the News and Observer en deavors to neap upon the Caucasian in this connection are uncalled for and do not re flect a Bentiment of conrteav In i ism. The Caucasian's embarrassment could have been published as a matter of newr. If the tone and politics of the Caucasian are at variance with the News and Observer that does not justify it to exhault at its misfortune, a thing liable to happen to any newspaper. The resources of the Caucasian Publishing Company are ample to meet all and every debt. Its friends will stand by it and see to it that it will BtiH. continue pub lication and keep the ews and Observer on J Mi V, Jll V AHA, Business Manager. We make no further comment on tne above, but wish to say that through friends arrangements have been made whereby Thb Caucasian has resumed publication. We espe cially desire to call upon all friends to rally to the support of Thk Cau CASiANand every subscriber can do this by securing at least one new name for one year. If every friend of reform will do his duty Thi Caucasian will be enabled to give to its supporters a good, clean, pro gressive weekly. The price of Thi Caucasian will be the same asit was before the "special offer" was made, viz.: $1.00 for one year, CO cents for six months, and 35 cents for three months. In the future there will be no de viation from these prices. Thk Caucasian Publishing Co. SEfMTOH CUTLER TO SEMATOR PRITCHARD. A POINTED QUESTION AND A DIRECT ANSWER ABOUT AN IB MU TANT MATTER. BfOTtk OanUm Hut Xtoct Wwm Ccluf SMtr-Or Odd ta WU1 Cratml thm st ! Iwator Batter TTU SMtor Pritchard Tfeat Urn Farm thm Ktocttoa mt m Mmm Wk Hlda Tim LU Senator Frttefcmrd Maid Twa Taws Ago. Elliott, N. C, Nov. 14, 189C. Hon. J. C. Pritchard, Marshall, X. C. Dear Sir : Yours of Nov. 8th, askicg whether or not I favored your re election to the Senate, received. Who shall be Senator is a matter to be de cided by a majority of tbe members of tbe next legislature, but if I were a member of that body I would not vote for any man for Senator who favored tbe gold standard or whoee position on tbe financial question (so vital to the welfare of our people) was uncer tain or equivocal. When you were elected to the Senate two years ago you were as outspoken and as strong for the free and unlim ited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 as I or anyone else. You con demned tbe gold standard as one of tbe greatest curses to our people and to our country, you condemned Cleve land's financial policy and especially Carlisle's policy in redeeming Treas ury notes in gold alone. But to-day Senator John Sherman, tbi arch leader of the British gold conspiracy, says mv meir uope 01 capturing tne next U. S. Senate for the sold stand ard depends upon getting a Senator of bucir uwu way 01 imnKinp irom DOtn Kentucky and North Carolina. It is understood that thev want to elect Carlisle from Kentucky and to elect you irom Aortn Carolina. Therefore 1 take it that you are no longer for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, but if you are, then Sherman and Mark Hanna must be deceived as to your position. Besides if you have been correctly reported by the newspapers, you have in soma of your speeches admitted that you have radically changed your views on the financial question, which question is at all times the most im portant and vital one in this or any other government and which ia cially so at this time in the United states. Again, yon had published in the Winston Republican a few months ago a statement of your great change on the money question. That article which tbe editor said he was author ized to publish and which you have never corrected, stated that you would vote for free coinage until March 4th next because you were nledrad tn dn so, but that after then you would be a "sound money man." inus itsefcUiS clear that tod tiava decided to desert the people in their great struggle against the money power and have gone over to the side of the money changers who bleed and oppress the people. mere is no longer anv half-war nr straddling ground in this contest. js-very man in Congress will haye to vote for the free coinage of silver and more full legal tender money for the people or he will vote with the hank ers, bondholders, speculators and gold gamblers who live and grow rich by making money dearer and scarcer. If tms is your position then no memhw of the legislature, who is not himself a goldbug, can vote to send you to the Senate. You certainly cannot expect the vote of any Populist, neither can you expect tne vote 01 any silver Re publican, for when your State conven tion passed a resolution approving your course, you had not given public notice that you nau cnangea your views. Every man has a risrht to chanro his views on the money question or any other question whenever he has reasons sufficient for doing so, but he " uu "iut du vuuipiain 11 tne people of his State refuse to change their views because he changes his. Having radically changed your posi tion on the most vital issue before the country to-day and now holding new views in conformity with those of Sherman and Mark Hanna. you would not represent tne sentiments and in terests of the people of North Carolina in the United States Senate any more than did Senator Ransom after he changed his views on the money ques tion to conform with the views of uieveiana ana Carlisle. One vote may determine the position of the next United States Senate on the money question. In fact if von are elected or any man holding the new auu luicigu views you nave adopted it will almost surely rive the bankers, bondholders and gold trusts one majority in that body, and com plete control of every branch of the government, and this is the reason why that class of men are now showing so much interest and anxiety about your election. It is absolutely necessary for the peopie to noiu tne u nitea States Sen ate in order to check tbe further scnemes 01 tne monopolists and srold contractionists. To do this it is nec essary for North Carolina to send a iree coinage and anti-monopoly man to tne senate. Therefore I favor the election of a man who holds the same views on the financial question that you neia oeiore you changed. Yours respectfully, Marion Butlis. BRYAN'S MAJORITY 19,266. Tha 8tata Official Vota on tha Praai. dentlal Electoral Ticket. The vote for Presidential electors in this State has been officially com puted and shows Bryan's majority to do ly.-soo. xne total vote east for all Presidential electors was 331.222. There is no material difference in the vote cast for the Democratic and Populist electors on th Bryan fu sion ticket. Usually, the electoral ticket recievesthe largest nnmber of votes cast in a State, but in North Carolina this time this rule may be reversed. It is known that a num ber of voters who did not cast any electoral ticket at all . did vote the State ticket; and if any considerable number of voters did this, the total vote for the State ticket may exceed the vote for the electoral ticket. Below is the official electoral vote. Bryan. Dexocsatic-Populist Electom. Locke Craig, Dem.. 174,488 BobtB. Davis. Pop , 174,268 Balph Howland, Pop 174 210 H. P. Freeman, Pop 174467 G. B.

I am also informed that a member of the National Republican committee was sent to Washington to see tbe Hon. Marion. Butler and find out if he could make such a trade, and that 11 we would give them (the Republi cans) tbe U. S. Senator they would give us anything we wanted in reason in return. Let every member of the Peoples Party speak out and let us see who is pledged to cast such a vote. Respectfully, Y. C. Morton. Another Populist Not Pledged. For The Caucasian.! In the Charlotte Observer of the 15th inst, I see that Hiram L. Grant says "all Populists for whom we voted (meaning candidates for the Legisla ture) promised to vote for Pritchard." He has fallen into error, at least as far as Mecklenburg is concerned We are pledged to no man, but are free to vote as we think best. The two R publicans, Clanton and Williamson were not pledged, but are free to vote for whom they please. There was a tacit understanding that we were all to support the county government and election laws, and see that they should be preserved. Nothing beyond this was even alluded to. As to whom we Dr. Craven and mvat n:n ' . - - . j will BUDDOYl for Senator.it is left to our discretion and can only say it will be for some J - .

I see that the Democratic papers mention Mr. Wilson and Maj. Onta rio in connection with the Senatorial fight and say that we hare not mien limner to select irom. 1 wish to say that we have plenty of timber. If the Senator is to be a Populist wo have in the Esst mm hko Prof. John Graham, Col. Harry Skinner, W ar ar a . j. iiewDorne, Cy. Thompson and othws; in the West we have Walter B. Henry, A. F. Hileman, L. C. Caldwell and others. If ho is to bo a silver Republican, wo have Col. O. LI.' Dockery. Solicitor If. L. Mott and others. In fact there is plenty oi oenatonai timber aot menuonod here. Did we not take np Uarion Butler, a farmer boy raised ia the piney woods of Sampson county and make him Senator at 31 Tears of agef And no man has made a finer record in the Senate than he. Wo have more men in the State who will develop tho same way when given an opportunity and put to the test. Yours truly, A 16 to 1 Populist. G otton.
