The emo ratir. Speakers and the
lemocratiR paier have been indiist
riotiMly enga-ed, during the present
oarnpaign in tating to the puhli' that
the adriiinittraf ion row in control of
affair in North Carolina hai been
much more lavish in the expenditure
of the public fiindn than were th-ir
Iiemorrat ii- prilrie-ori. If in rihf
that the adminintraMon now in pow-r
should he held to a Mrirt '' oni'tabil
ity for any exren-ive expeiidif lire of
the public' money. If i-i right that
the public xlioiild he informed of the
eiaet amount of the cxrem of euob ex
penditure. Hut the public will never
get from the )emo rat j adept h in the
falsification of f.ictn the information
it is entitled to. The I leinocratic pn
pen and speaker know full well that
a mean lover of fal-ehood can often
make a fractional truth ti ll the mot
outrageous lief. And the I leinorrat?,
in thif campaign, have been u.'ing a
fractional truth to tell the mont will
ful and bare-faced lien about the ex
penditure of the public fundi under
the present State administration, as
we shall now proceed to show.
Hut before we enter ir.fo this ex
posure of intentional I mocratic ly
ing, we wiih to fay, that if the pres
ent administration had spent all that
their enemies claim they have spent in
excess of expenditures under the Dem
ocrats, it would not follow, that the
present administration had done
wrong. For t he quet ion is not how
much has been ppent'r" tut how much
has been misspent? If the adiiiini-tr i
tion now in power IimiI fornt untold
millions more than their predeiv s.sort
in ntlh-e spent in a like pr riod, the
public would not he ujur-d thereby,
if it got value for every dollar of t-nid
expenditure. Let the honest and
truthful reader b-ar this in mind
when he reads and hears of excessive
expenditures undr the present ad
ministration. It is true that the expenditure
of public money under the present
government ,of North Carolina has
been somewhat in excess of that under

THS MACHIJiE SIZED I'P.
There are numerous incidents wbicb
now vividly illustrate tbe character of
the Democratic machine in North Car
olina. It is essentially a party of "per
sonal plunder." It has no object on
earth except to create "soft snaps" for
a few in tbe matter of filling publie
office. Its record clearly show this,
and if it were to save tbeir plundering
souls, tbe managers of tbat machine
could not make tbe record show any
thing else.
This is well known by all good
citizens outside of the towns and cit
ies, but among tbe residents of tbe
the towns and cities there is either an
astonishing ignorance of tbe charac
ter of tbe Democratic machine, or
tbere is a wilful, defiant, devilish de
termination to Btand by it, no matter
how pernicious and thievish it is.
How so many citizens of tbe towns
can be in such ignorance or hold such
intentions is beyond the comprehen
sion of this paper.
This machine has for years been the
asent and backer of all corporation
and syndicate plundering and extor
tion that have been suffered by this
State. It is in tbe same business to
day, and no man of any sort of intel
ligence who takes note of events, can
for an instant doubt that this same
machine is now being backed by tbe
"influence"' of the Southern Railway
System in this State.
And witb such backing the machine
is now encouraging an sucn mean
ness and attempts at intimidation and
hUjlIdozing as are ebown in "rotten eg
ging" one-armed Confederate sold
iers, organizing Red Shirt Ruffians,
threats of killing prominent and in
fluential Populists &c. &c. The Dem
ocratic machine knows tbat a majori
If tbe Democratic nigger calamity
bowlers were half as much afraid of

tbey not have eagerly and thankfully
accept help from any source to keep
tbe nigger from catching them? Cer
tainly tbey would ! Wben tbe Peoples
party offered tbera 50,000 votes to make
it dead certain tbat tbe nigger should
never catch tbrm, wby did tbey re
fuse? Tbere are two reasons, flrt
tbey are not afraid of tbe nigger; sec
ond tbey had already made a deal
witb tbe railroads to turn over tbe
next legislature to them for so much
money, and tbeir only possible way
tbey could betray tbe people was be
hind the cry of nigger. If tbey bad
accepted tbe proposition of tbe Peo
ples Party it would have meaot not
only "white supremacy but it would
have meant also "down witb monopoly
domination. In abort tbey are yel
ling "nigger in tbe interest of tbe
railroads. Tbe Cleveland goldbugs

2m 397.55
Let it be borne in mind, that after al
lowing the present ad ministration cred
it for the cost of one session of the Gen
eral Assembly, and for the appropria
tions of the United States toeducation
(which appropriations were not audit
ed in the Treasury, nor paid out of the
Treasury under the Democrats) the
present administration for the three
years taken into account is only $206,
397.55. .Now what has the S'ate to
show for this increased expenditure?
It has coupons clipped from bonds is
sued by Democrats to mnec current
expenses when they were in power.
It has bills and accounts tha' were left
unpaid by Democratic public servants ' hevlng that Populists will accept their
when they were kicked out. It has j invitation.

further proposition for fusion
Now in view of their rejection of a
certain victor for these issues, it is net
reasonable to suppose tbat the men
who controlled the Democratic con
vention are opposed to free silver and
of the election of a people's legisla
ture? In fact, can any other inter
pretation be placed upon their action?
Can any reliance be placed even in
their cry fur "white supremacy" wbicb
would have also been included in tbe
victory for the issues outlined above,
and which they deliberately rejected?
But in spite of tbe abundant proof
they have given us of tbeir opposition
to the reforms for wbicb Populists
have all these years fought, in spite
of their rejection of the only plan
which would have won a victory for
these reforms, the same men who con
trolled the Desiocratic convention in
the interest of tbe railroads and gold
standardites, now come to Populists
and appeal to them to come back to
the democratic party and to be their
followers; and some of them have
probably fooled themselves into b--
purpose.

It is clear to my view that tbe Democratic leaders are concealing

from tbe people, as tbey did ia tbe legfslatore of lt7a-77,tbus depriv
