In fact an effort was made to have tbe Chicago plat form reaffirmed but tbe convention was too completely in tbe .control of gold men.

CONSIDER- were contrary to the true as ba found them and to malign and illify the white people eitnply be- cause they differed politically with tbe Observer, then its action cannot be too severely condemned. In one of Mr. Iiryanl's letters, and published in tbe Observer, he uses the reort villlfying and slanderous state ments about Hon. W. K. Fountain, that baa ever been published in that paper. Bo false was the statement that number of tbe most prominent Dem ocrats of Tarboro were aroused at tbe great injustice done Mr. Fountain and sent to tbe Observer for publication a card denying tbe truth of the slander party ,n 1892 and tfau tfaey w,n be. for ana tnai me cnarge was w.u.out .ouu- gven fof u f thej w come Uck tQ dation.

Tbey pu.t at tbe bead of tbe Democratic organisation, tbe man who of all men is most odious to tbe Populists of North Carolina be cause he is tbe same man who in 1892 tried to disfranchise them because tbey would not support Cleveland and bis gold standard and monopoly poli cy. And yet be Is tbe same man wbo is now sending around Democratic speakers to tell Populists that tbey were right in leaving tbe Democratic of Rao- monopoly sonable to suppose that all other char ges be maaes have as little truth and foundation as tbe false statement. It leads a fair minded person to be lieve that the entire series of letters written by Mr. Ilryant for tbe Obser ver are a tissue of falsehoods written for political purposes to scare people Into tbe Democratic party. But we have another casein point even,rCifrtSf rious tlan the base slan der of Mr. Fountain and that is the cruel and malicious attempt to rob a home of its purity. Klsewhere in this is sue we publish a card from Dr. Mayo, of Edgecombe, denouncing in no uncer tain lan gu gage the defamatory article written by Mr. Bryant and also pub lished in the Charlotte Observer and reprinted by the lowest of negro bowl ing sheets, the News and Observer. Democrats of tbe State do you sanc tion such low methods; will you lend your aid to secure a political victory for a party that will stoop so low as to attempt to rob a borne of ita sacred ness attempt to besmirch the good name of a father and even go so far as to drag Into its political lies the pu rity and virtue of white women mothers, daughters and sisters. The Peobles-Himmons gang have long preached ostracism of all wbo would not vote the Democratic ticket, but we d,id not believe they would so debase themselves as to attempt to caluminate the white women and men of the State simply because they would not affiliate with tbeir party. Readers, read the base slander of Mr. Fountain and Dr. Mayo and then read carefully tbe refutation of tbe charges and ask yourelves will you be one to vote into power a party that has no issue that cannot meet As we said above, we are glad tbey have learned Populists are right and patriotic. Perhaps, in tbe coarse of time, they will learn also that Popu lists are ao strong in tbe conscious ness of this, that tbey will remain in the peoples Party. THE CAUCASIAN'S TRVE, PREDICTIONS More than a year ago Thk Caucas ian predicted tbe sort of campaign tbe Democratic leaders would make this year, and in each issue of tbe paper for weeks warned tbe people against tbe influences which weie mapping out such a plan of campaign. Thk Cau casian was then making its fight for a union of all tbe silver forces iu North Carolina, which was of course a fight for white supremacy also, and was be ing opposed by tbe gold and monopo ly press of the State. The very class now making such a bowl about tbe "nigger." We showed then that the only way by which the reform elements in all parties, the friends of W.J. Bryan and tbe principles be advocates, could be kept from winning a complete victory over gold and mouopoly, was to keep them divided; and wbo was so inter ested in doing this as tbe gold stand ard and corporation crowd ? We showed further that tbe only hope tbey could possibly have of keep ing these elements divided would be to bowl "nigger" loud enough to side track tbe issues upon which tbey were agreed. Tbe railroad, gold standard, and corporation crowd won a victory and played tbe first part of tbeir pro gramme in tbe Democratic State Con- an is- mention when they succeeded in keep- wa acceptable to tbem aa a candidate for Governor. It waa also decided that as long as Justice Van Wyck remained at tbe head of tbe ticket tbe National Democratic party would remain neutral, or at least would not be a disturbing element among Democrats.' These "National Democrats" it will be remembered were tbe bolters from tbe Chicago convention of 1896. They later held a national convention at Iodianapolia and put up tbe Palmer Bockner ticket which ran as a aide show to the Republican ticket. Of course the repudiation of tbe Chicago platform and tbe nomination of Yan Wyck was satisfactory to them, and aa long a.s tbey can thua control tbe Democratic party they will not be a "disturbing element among Demo crats." And yet, the North Carolina Dem ocratic convention was controlled by men holding the same views held by these self-styled national Democrats. There were silver Democrata in this New York convention, however, wbo would not submit to toe dictation and control of these gold Democrata. They bolted tbe convention and nominated Henry George, son of tbe late candi date for Mayor of Greater New York, to head an independent Democratic ticket. While the gold Democrata have charge of tbe regular organiza tion of tbe State, these silver Demo crats have proven A3 CfCH UTTER TO CCX Xt. ft HUB ASaOTCIRS.

The following is taken from an ed itorial in the Washington Post of Oc tober 1st and Thk Caucasian repro duces it for the especial benefit of those Democratic free silver shonttrs in tbe campaign of 1896, but who in the present campaign bs throv asiue an issues, ana nope to riae into ' power on tbe negro scarecrow racket. The News and Observer is requested to reproduce same for its free silver readers "How can any honest newspaper ad vise or approve the '-putting aside of a question of Federal policy" a ques tion of such overshadowing import ance as me jo to l issue in a cam paign that is to elect all tbe members of one house and one-third of the members of the other house ot Con gress? Is it patriotic, is it meeting the obligation that a party tjwes to the country, is it brave or manly to try to dodge tbe 1 ding, the great, irrepressible national issue in an election for .members of the national legislature? Can such dodging lead to victory? And should it do so, will cowardice be commendea as the best policy? The Post believes with Mr. Bryan that the wise and manly thing is to seep tne silver issue at the front, wnere it oeiongs, until it is settled." the cause of good order in the land, and respect of good order in the land. It has its rroto type in a concern in Chi-1 cago called T he New Time, to which by tbe way, one of our distinguished North uaroiiuiansisan occasional con tributor, as he was to the Arena, but at all events with the latter dead there is one menace to law and order out of the way." The editor of tbe Arena,Dr. Redpatb was an able advocate of the free coin age of silver, tnda strong friend of the Chicago platiorm. Of course the Char- ijite UDserver considered tbe maga zine "a menace to law and order," and grows exultant over its suspension. thi CAUCASIAN referred to the sus- interest whatever in the matters and knew nothing about the bringing of tbe suits. If he had succeeded in robbing me, he would have gotten the plunder for his own pocket. I think it well, therefore, to class yon and Simmons, and the Daniels to gether in what l snail nave to say.
