The National Convention of the People's Part v, assembled at Sinx Falls, 8outh Dakota, on May Otb, was a uagnifleent succeed in every respect. It was a magnificent body of men, intelligent, earnest, and de liberate. Tbe platform was one of the finest productions ever pot for ward by any convention. The nra tory was of the highest order. The nominee sre the very best that could be found in the whole country tn lead a reform ticket. Even the As sociated Pres in its report admitted that the Convention in its personnel and in its work would measure up favorably w'tn nn7 other party con vention ever held. The eitv of Sioox Falla proved to be an ideal place to bold a National Convention. Tbe -rettery was fine, tbe weather was ideal, and tbe at merphere was cxrMTara'iog. B-side, the people of Sionx Flls gave the delegated a mo-t roval reception Tb itv was decorated with flg and hnnting from one end to the oth T and everything possible done for tbe pleasure and comfort of the del egates. The great fight of the Convention was ever the nomination of a Vice Presidential candidate, one element taring the view that a eonfererc eernmittee hould be appointed to gr o Kansas Citv end confer with the Democrats end Free Silver Rpnl ean Convention; the of er contend log that the Contortion ahonM m . a nomination. By a two thirds ma jority, after a long d'bate, the Con- ventlon decided to nominate. Bn in doing go it pnt patriotism and de- votiow to principle and a desire for harmonious co operation of all re form forces sota evcrv other eon aider at ion. Tt delared that it wnuV sapnort for Pr'S;dnt the nnaniroon choice of the Demoertie, rartv fo that position, and for Viee-Pree'dep' the unanimous choice of the S:lver Republican rartv for that position. thu expending the olive branch U both, with the ticket composed of thr highest type of statesmanship that the three reform parties conld pro- dace. Bryan and Towne is by aP odds the best and strongest ticket to lead the reform fight in tbis cam paign.

"Stolen districts may be sweet bntt Is none the Kb true that tbos who aid the robbery and en J T Its fruits should be destined to po'ltical destruction. Try this case upon the fActs, try It upon the great principles of honest election tha ought to guide every man." "Try this case upon the great principles of honest elections." We thank Mr. Kitchin for these bold, brave, manly and noble utter ances! While appealing to the House to try the case npon the "principles of honest elections" he should take the same position when la this State, and condemn the Slm-l ... . ...... .SO ........ .80 mons ballot thieves for their cor ruption and dishonesty. While craving Justice In the House, Mr. KItchin should want to see justlceand honesty done toward hi fellow citizens in North Carol!- , . . a m . at e a. na. Let tne "principles oi nonest elections" be carried ont In this 6Uto and Mr. Kltchln's party will be defeated by sixty thousand ma Jorlty, and "those who aid the rob bery and enjoy the fruits" will be "destined to political destruction," and they will get their Just dure. No one knows this better than Mr. KItchin. If he is In favor of hon est elections while speaking ont of the Btate, why does he not advo cate honest elections in the State, and also condemn the Simmons machine for their redsblrtlsm fraud, corruption, mob-violence, practiced in the last election? Don't go abroad to talk honest elections, talk it at home and urge your par ty to practice It, Mr. KItchin. THOMPSON 14 COCK OT THE WALK We can say to the readers of The Caeca si an that our candidate for Governor, Dr. Cy Thompson, is the "cock of the walk." Be alone is the only one who can stand on the his toric hills of tbe Old North State and crow. We can prove this by the highest authority. We have said it, now we ean prove it, that the ma chine was afraid to meet our little Cy. Cy is one of the old blue hen's chickens. He never raises a white feather or dodges the appearance oi even an Acock. In Sunday morning's Post, tbe ed itor publishes Chairman Holton's re ply to Chairman Simmons' chalenge for a joint canvass, in which Mr Holton declines the chalenge. Al though he gives good reasons for xe fusing a pint debate, yet the editor of the Post says Holton showed the white feather, "was on the run,' and "was afraid to meet Aycock." Now, if Holton's refusal to meet Simmons showed that he was afraid to meet Aycock, then it follows that since Simmons refused to meet Bat ler, showed he was afraid to meet Thompson. This is their logic, not ours, and they cannot escape the conclusion. Hence, we say boast iofcly that Cy Thompson, the Peo ple's Party candidate for Governor, IS THE COCK Or THK WALK. RE POUT FOR AN EFFECT. "Reports from the sections visited by Mr. Kitchin are to the effect that he has been making very fine speech es, lineman writes: "Tbey are vote-getters-his speech es. At Mocksville ten Populists came up after the speaking and put on white supremacy badges." News and Observer. The above is from the fquib abou Claud Kitchin's visit in the west. Un til the names are given, no one will believe "ten Populists came up and put on white supremacy buttons." Populists are white men and do no have to be labeled to show their col ors. It is about on a f&r with th report from Hickory some time ago written by a Christain man, too, say mg that two Populists who had gom into the Democratic primary as spec tators, "had returned to the Demo cratic fold." Tbe truth is it was ali a lie. Such reports are sent out with the delusion that it will produce effect u other sections. Bat the people refus t d to be fooled any more.

SOME FACTS. A letter received from Mr. M. C. Glddens, of Giddensville under date of May 14th, eays: "The Democratic primary was held here on Saturday the 12th ami the Chairman held over until 6ix .'clock for more Democrats to conn out as they only had 6ix out of Gid Uensville precinct to represent th -a called Democratic Dart v. Th finally managed to muster up ten in all. Some of them charged thai Mr. Simmons the Democratic State t nalrman had challenged Bu'ler t a joint discussion but that Butler Had declined. Is this true." The size of the Democratic tarn oat at at Gldden8ville pretinct i la keeping with the size of the crowd that Mr. Aycock and the oth er Democratic candidates have been getting to come out to hear them speak. The charge made by some Dem ocrats in that procinct th&i Mr. Simmons had challerged Chair man Butler for a joined discuss ion is amusing. It Is well known that Chairman Butler challenged Chairman Simmons and all the Democratic candidates and that tliey declined to meet them. They showed the white feather and ran bicausethey were afraid for the people to hear the arguments on b ;th sides. BRTAST ajrp Town. Tbe Nonconformist. Omaha. Neb. The nr ruination of Bryan and Towne at Sioux Falls was a triumph of the people over the politicians. The timid politicians said, "wait; the brave people said, "go ahead." One asked for a committee, the other asked for a Vice President. One said, "don't do anything until after the meeting at Kansas City," the other said, "now is the accepted time, now even now, is the day of salvation." The work at Sionx Falls was well done, the Populists made no mistake. They acted nobly, wisely and generously. They asked nothing for themselves. They buried all eel fih desires for the good of the eoun- ry. They selected a ticket that will please every honest reformer. They believed that tbe three millions of Populists and Lineoln Republicans should be represented on the ticket, and as both could not be favored they selected the bravest and tbe best of onr nolle Republican allies andeffered him the country . No other ticket that ean be' hatched at Kansas City will compare with that of Bryan and Towne. They must take our men or do worse. They will not be selfi-h enough to demand all the honors and all the offices. When Lineoln, an old whig, was nominated in I860, Hannibal Ham lin, an old Democrat, was placed on tbe ticket with him. When Lafay ette came to the assistance of onr fathers in the revolutionary war be received high honor and was consid ered worthy to stand by the aide of Washington. All tbe Jtff rsonian Democrats in the country will rally around Bryan, all the generous Lin coln Republicans will follow the leadership of Towne and all the Pop ulists will support them both with equal ardor, because we have estab lished our principles although unable to place one of our men on the ticket of the people. What will be done at Kansas City 1 We believe the Sioux Falls ticket will be ratified. We don't see how our allies can turn ns down. The true men in that convention cannot object to either of onr candidates 0 f course the time-servers and com promisers will want to replace Towne with an eastern man. Either a gold bug prodigal who has come back af ter a piece of the fatted ealf, or a military or naval hero who has no political principles and wouldn't know what to do with them if he had. We want no such ticket as that, and we won't have it If yon tnrn down our man and make the Mcket an uncertain quantity yon will lose every western state. This is as true as the sermon on the Mount Bat you won't turn us down. The people won't let you; they will rule as tbey rnled at Sioux Falls. Mich- ;gm and Minnesota Democrats have already declared for Towne. Every western state will be for Towne. The southern states will be satisfied with Mm. There will be 20 000 fighting Df mocr&ts there who are not dele ?ates, and nearly all this outside In fiaence will be for Bryan and Towne because they represent the people and not the politicians. Bryan was nominated at Chicago by the peopl -gainst the protest of all the old leaders of tbe partv. Towne war nominated at Sioux Falls in tbe sam way and Kansas City will follow these illustrious example. It wil be Bryan and Towne at Kansas City and before the work is finished it wil receive the unanimous support o: that convention. Tbis country needs its bravest and strongest men r'ght now, and w have given them to you. Young, en orgetio, wise, patriotic and ooura eons, Bryan and Towne are all of hese and more. They will give xxt -uch a red hot campaign as thi -ountry has never seen. The peopl via be aroused by their wonderfn Sequence as they have never beer iroused before. The fight will b tggressive from start to finish. N n;me will be wasted in defending om Tien. They need no defense. Their lives have been pure and their prin ciples have been as open as the day So defensive campaign this time, but we'll carry tbe war into the ene my's conntry and will beat down all the strongholds of oppression, and llow all the people to go free. We are reliably Informed that the Democrats of Wilson county had a regular row In their conven tion. They actually fought over the nominations. If Populists had lone such a thing, yon would have jeen it In the Democratic papers rney would have said the ahun ry pie hunters" were fighting over the "spoils. ' But they have said nothing about this as we have seen certainly not condemning It and naming them for it. We gues they fought because they were be ing forced to run for some office For Democrats (?) have no office seekers, you know. They could not agree and bad to re-refer the nominations to the primaries settle. to Chairman Simmons sayst ' election law is not an issue in the campaign." He does not want it to be. He knows it is a dishonest .aw a ad was so framed, that if neoessary, antoid xrauds could be perpetrated with it And he does not want that discussed. Any political party that has to resort to measures they can't defend on the stump, will steal the liberties of the people from them if g;ven a chance, and that is whv the machine wants a chance. Are von going to give it to them f Ask your self the question. W1SHXXO BOOD MKM MM la the News and Observer of last Sunday was a week ago, appears a mean article, giving Mr. Adams, the Bepubllcan candidate for Gov ernor, "down the country." We do not think we ever read a meaner and more contemptible article. There was no name or credit to It. We thought the writer was asham ed to own it. : aaeargs - " -Z In the latter part "of the article the writer reflected on the high character of Dr. Thompson. The Doctor is too well known In the State for saeh an article to Aart him. Indeed, it Is "rather' a:com pllment when some men oppose you, and very mueh against you when they champion you. After pouring out great streams cf wrath on the personal characters cf these two Christian gentlemenTb Moses by saying: 'If there Is not a red hot hell somewhere, a fatal mistake was made In ordering the universe." The writer of the above nee-i not give himself any trouble about there being no helL If he contin ues to cultivate envy and hate and blood-shed against his betters, he will get hell enough, and It will be hotter than "red" too.. W mote below what the Biblical Recorder has to Bay about these nominees, which will have more weight with the good people of tbe State than an unsigned article, wishing good, Christian gentlemen In hell. The Recorder says : MIt affords us pleasure to say that the Bepubllcan party has chosen to present for the Governorship this year so worthy a gentleman and citizen as ex Judge Spencer B. Ad ams. He is a member of Rtv. Liv ingston Johnson's church at Greens boro, and is held in high esteem as a citizen by. all who know him. In Mr. Aycock, Mr. Adams and Mr Cyrus Thompson, the three parties have nominated their best men for Governor. The record of each of them Is bueh that none can afford to make this a campaign of person al abuse ; and each represents the best element in his party." In his speech in Winston Judge Adams had this to say about the News and Observer. It is this : "you have seen in the person of Mr. Daniels, who Is the editor of the leading democratic paper In North Carolina, in his last Sunday's issue, a man actually advising the people to assassinate your candi date for Governor. I want to say to Mr. Daniels, and I 6ay it with nothing but the fear of a just God before my eyes, I intend to canvass this 8ta e from one end to the oth er. He may assassinate me but I pray to the God in heaven that when I fall my face may be turned to the enemy, and that the songs of liberty may be upon my Hps. And I want to say to him further and if he has got a friend in this audience I want you to tell him what I have said I am going to speak throughout North Carolina. I shall go to the city of Raleigh. I will be there from the 27th to the 31st in attendance upon court and he will know where to find me." Now we submit that we have come to a poor pass in North Caro I in when good Christian, white gen tlemen have to take their lives in their own hands to canvass the State, and to discuss issues selected by the Democratic machine. And to prevent these white men from doing so, the machine Democrats threaten them with death. What do Christian men say about that? Some months ago it was reported that Blackburn, in his Newton speech, threatened the Democrats. Although no Democrat in Newton has or will swear Blackburn mennt It as a threat, yet the News and Observer spouted blue blazes about t, saying that such a thing was twful ; that any party whose repre sentatives making such threats, was unworthy to be trusted. But what do we see now? Why the Observer reporting and com mending the organizing of red I shirts, which means anarchy and blood shed, and an emblem of heathenish darkness, and not civ ilization and Christianity. Not only that, but actually publishes An article threatening the life of an educated, high-toned Christian gn tleman, because he will not surren der to the red shirt machine, and have his arms tied and his tongue torn out by the roots. How will Christian gentlemen takethist Will they quietly sup port a party that even boasts of such things? If so, they will be as guilty of murder as the Observ er that published it, or the man who wrote it. White men In other parties have as much right to their opinions as the editor of the Ob server and Mr. Simmons have and no amount of bulldozing will pre vent them from voting them eith er; and the machine can put this fact in their pipes and smoke it, too. Populists will not attempt to keep Democrats from voting their sentiments, and they will not al low democrats to ' prevent them from doing the same. ' We call attention this week .to a communication from Caldwell Co., asking all Confederate Veterans to nnlte with them in an honest ef fort to procure .Confederate pen slons. It seems that the old sold iers should have the same right to get something from legislation as the money lender, the manufact urer or monopolies. We ask all to read and consider. Everybody In the State wants to hear Cyrus and Charlie In joint de bate, except the machine. If Char He does not meet Cyrus, then Char lie Is afraid of Cyras and Cyrus knows Charlie Is too. Come Char- Ue, Cyras has come. DKMOCKATk comco AVO BXASOV. The latest reason that has been coined why the negro should be dis franchised, is to the effect that "his is the only race that has never divided its vote on political lines." Now the poor fellow who gave birth to that statement ought to be presented with a ehromo as the chief of fools. It Is a statement without a shadow of reason or fact under or around it; and if it proves anything, it is just the opposite of that intended. The poor fellow, if he does not allude to this country and this time-j his logie is farfetched. If what he says were true, then he proves nothing. Because the negro is the only race in this country that was held in slavery for years and then given its freedom. As no other race ever experienced such condi tions it is a stretch of tbe imagina to say what it would have done. Bat. there is not a word of truth in the saying, "negroes do not di vide thsir vote." Negro counties which once went Republican, now go Democratic. The eight and ninth Congressional Districts, with only white voters in them, go Re publican; while the first and third districts which made such a howl abont seero domination, go Dsmo cratie. Then in the second district, the negroes elect a Congressman, and divide their vote so as to carry every county in it, almost, Demo cratic In Lineoln county which has about 500 negro voters in it, in the last election, 300 of them voted the Democratic ticket. And Halifax county which has a large majority of negro voters, in the last campaign gave a large Democratle majority. Maj. Jule Carr says the Democrats will have no trouble to carry the negro section of the State east f t Salisbury this year, but their hardest fight will be to carry the counties west of Salisbury wuere there are few negroes. So in this State, even, the state ment is absolutely false. In the State of New York, especially in New York city, the negroes vote the Democratic ticket and do so be cause they were promised office. Hence, the next little fellow yon hear talking such stuff, hand him a gimlet and tell him to go off and bore himself for the simples. Wow let us see if it does not nrove too much. If the negroes should be disfranchised became they do not divide their vote, then if white men should vote one ticket as Democrats insists, then they wonld be as big a fool race as the negro race, and therefore it too, should be disfranchised. If the negro should be disfranchised because tbey as a race do not divided their vote, then the Populists in leaving the Democratic party and voting som other way, should be credited with furnishing the only evidences that the cancau tan race is superior to the African or mulatto race. The truth is the Democratic machine is trying to dis franchise all white and blacks who will not vote for a thing which is compelled to wear a badge before you ean tell what race it is. WOMEN ARE AROUSED TO JTSTIFT RASH ACTS BY THK WHITE MEN. The News and Observer says "The ladies or Louisiana are not uneasy now when elections come." Whatladiesl Why, those In the towns and cities who never hear anything just before elections but negro, negro, by the pie hunters and ward heelers. They do it to arouse through the ladies, the sympathy of tbe church, preachers and their associations from afar. We suppose It Is there like it is here. If so. they have a right to be scared. Whyt Because the la dies know their friends have be come desperate ; and have organ ized red shirt gangs and filled them with liquor in order to take the of flees by force. The good ladles know that in such a condition, some one Is liable to get into trouble. These good women know that if the negro should get hold of the same bottle at tbe same licensed bar, he, too, might do something rash. That is the only way they are afraid of the negro. The negro in the same all the year and the la- d!ea are not scared. It is the polit leal howls of the pie hunters that scare them every two years. If not, then the men do wrong for keeping that race around, and thus annoy the good ladies. The ladles are not afraid of the Populists, as they are the most so ber and peaceable class of citizens The only way the ladles could be afraid of the Populists if they are at all posted Is that the Populists might decide that this drunken, red shirt gang shall no longer bull doze; ostracize, call them "niggers" and count them out at the polls. If the Democrats were as civil and m 1 ' ; ' " ' - - -- as saner ana resorted to no more unfair means to win than the Pod ullsts, there would be no cause for alarm. Hence, the Democrats are to blame. Passing the amendment will not relieve the ladies in Louisiana even here. For as soon as the Dem ocrats get it fixed so they can have it all their way, then they will be gin to fight among themselves. Then more ladies will be uneasy "when elections comes." Look how they acted In Wiison the other day. and in their primary In Waynes- vllle. It will continue to jr worse. Look how the machine got Into a dispute orer the registrars in Wilmington, and ran the State to the great expense of calling the changes necessary to aatlarr that hot set. What makes the ladies of South Carolina and Mississippi n- easy when elections come? II the pleasing of the ladles is the object, then why not do like the prohibi tionists are saying they will do when the amendment passed, via : shut up all the bar-rooms? The truth is, all this exclUng the ladles to fear is to work up some excuse for murder, theft, etc. THAT BACX riOBUX OOVrXBUCK A conference of prominent en was held recently in Montgomery, consider the solutions for Ala., to diaensa and race problem. Many the vexed question were offered, but nothing of a satisfactory er perma nent nature to removs this Issue, was determined upon. The Hon. John Temple Graves, of Georgia, advocated separation of the races as the beat plan, and presented a strong argument sustaining this view. Barker Cochran, of New York ad vocated repeal of the 15th amen ment to the Constitution of the United States, while this plan might in some degree relieve the situation, yet it would be exceedingly difienltnow to repeal the amendment. Besides, if the amendment were repealed the south would lose tnirty-mne mem bers in Congress, and in the Elector al College. Is the South ready for this reduction in her representationt This would certainly follow the re peal of the 15th amendment. Ex- Governor MtCjrkle, Democrat, from West Virginia, opposed the repeal of the 15th amendment, contending that it was a dangerous step to restrict the suffrage. Discussing tnis pnase or tne ques tion he says: "The franchise system, as it is at present constituted in many of the states of the South, is to say the least practically tbe policy of repreasion. Repression has been tried at every stage of the world's history and al ways with the , same unvarying re sult, utter and tremendous failure. It leads nowhere. It raises no man. It demands no education. It holds ignorance as dense as ever. It drives away intelligence. It breeds discon tent. It represses any rising inspira tion of tbe heart. It leaves the land at tbe end of the cycle just as it found it at the beginning. It is the policy or deadly inaction overridden by discontent "Is not the fair settlement of this question in the manner I have indi cated far wiser than any attempt to appeal or modify the loth amend ment, which has been so ably press ed by a respected member of this conference! We are striving to close the gulf between the two great sec tions. This demand would again open wide the bitterness of the old en days. It would say to the North, as Abraham of old said to Lot, 'Sep arate thyself, I pray thee, from me, If thou will take tbe left hand, then I will go to the right: but if thou will depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left." It would be a back ward step. It would be practically revolution. It wonld lose from ita tn wrings tbe crystalized sentiment jf a third of a century. It would practically again raise the issues of the war. liov. mcVorkie expressed grave doubt as tbe constitutionality of the 'grandfather elaoMj7' to re strict ne gro suffrage, and he contended that with such a elause in operation it will inevitably tend to pull the white man down, while on the other hand. it wonld stimulate the negro to edu cate bjmaelt s e fcould enjoy the privilege of voting. The following extract from Gov ernor M Cofkl's speech should be carefully read and earnestly consid ered by every voter in this State, and especially by the oimmonsites: "By the ancestral elause in maay states you will pull the while man dow n, and with an educational fran chise you push the negro to the highest educational exercise. Yon place a premium npon the ignorance i tne waite man of the ojuih." Do we want the white man degra ded and th negro elevated above him here in North Caroiinaf Tttat is what the Simmons' machine want. As long as the 15th amendment stands the only solution of the ne, gro question, in polities, is to prohib it him from holding offices in the States.

OnaiM mi His ersM-fi aw" 0 SttrntteatsJ Clinii The correspondent of the Char lotte Observer, writing to that paper from Fayette ville, under date of March 4th, says: The Observer correctly guages pub lic sentiment in throwing out a word of warning against taking for grant ed the carrying at the ballot box of the suffrage eonstitational amend ment. It will require bard work from the rank and file and leaders of tbe party.
