North Carolina 'e knows if there
are that many negroes' names on
the registration books they are not
there honei-tly. But what do Hoi
ton and Russell, care about honesty?
If the Democrats let them alone
they would simply run special trains
from South Carolina into this State
on election day, and vote the ne
groes by the car-load. But if they
think the honest, decent white men
of North Carolina are going to
stand this colonizing of negro
voters they are fooling themselves.
There are more blow holes of dis
honesty in the new election law than
any other the State has seen.
Elizabeth Bates, the young
American woman who startled Eng
land, a few years ago by telling the
public the prices charged by ancient
and impoverished English families
or presenting recent and prosperous
Americans to Her Gracious Majesty
Queen Victoria, is in New York.
She speaks thus of her mission there:
'I am merely going o write up the
curiosities of a political campaign in
America. I am going to send hu
morous letters to the Nineteenth
Century and to the Westminster Ga
zette about the picturesque part of
thp election."
Since it has been verified that the
ondon Financial News, the highest
authority in Great Britain, said two
years ago that free coinage of silver
was the best thing for the American
people, what have the gold standard
worthies to say? Will they call the
London News the orgaa of the an
archists? Will thev denounce the
lighest financial authority in their
beloved Eugland as an advocate of
repudiation? Will they say that the
Nevada silver miners two years ago
su 'Sidized the London newspaper,
and that Altgeld at the time wrote
the editorials?
The town of Fayetteville has
passed an ordinance prohibiting
dealing in "margins" or "fttires,"
under a penalty of fifty dollars fine.
The city of Asheville has passed an
ordinance prohibiting any . person
from expectorating on the side
walks or public streets. In many of
the towns m the northeaster! part
of the State it is a misdemeanor to
stand around a railroad depot unless
you have some specific business
there. And in Charlotte it is un
lawful for a man to have hia boots
blacked ona public street after ten
o clock Sunday morning
The Southern Industrial News
says:
"The improvement in textile con
ditions, which was noted ia our last
issue, continues, and has increased
somewhat since that time. There is
no upward rush, but a steady krigh
tening of conditions and prospects,
and it cannot be denied that the
outlook now is much more encoar
aging than it has been at any time
during the past four months.
So Carlisle is to speak ia Ken
tucky. It is hardly likely that the
pathway of a traitor will be strewn
with flowers by the people he has
betrayed. Mr. Cai lisle was onoe a
distinguished man. He is now an

There seems to be a slight dis
crepency between the claims of Sen
ator Quay and Chairman Jones. But
a little difference of three hundred
electoral yotes does not affect the
result this long before election.
It will be well for the people of
the South to read again what Bourke
Cock ran, the Chief of the Hessians,
leader of the koltera from the Dem
ocratic party, said of them. Here it
is:
"Will yon submit to this conspir
acy between the professional farmers,
'he farmers who cultivate the quar
rels of their neighbors, farmers who
labor with their jaws Populist
agit tors of the West, and the unre
onciled slave holders of the South?
This is a conspiracy between profes
sional farmers, who want to pay low
wag'8, and the unreconciled slave
holders, who would like to pay no
wages at all
How do the sons of the South like
this fling from the tongue ot a de
serter? Some great audiences have failed
to assemble in North Carolina in
this campaign. According to the
Record at Mooresville the other
dav Shuford bad 6 Populists, 5 Re
publicans and 2 Democrats. At
ore of his appointments Rev. Chas.
H Martin, who is walking for
Congress in this District, bad no
audience at all. At another point
he wisely carried bis audience with
him, be gosh.
And when Governor Atgeld goes
to Nw York this week the people
of that enlightened centre will not
see a queer beast, after all. They
will find that he is not only a real
human beirg, but that he has a
head on him a lit'le better than
some carried on the shoulders of
New Yorkers.
Mb. Hal W. Ayer is the only
man in the State fitW to be chair
man of the Populit-t party. His
eyes are so crossed that he can see
the Democrats and the Republicans
at the same time and never turn his
head. Mr. Aver may have some
other qualifications for the position.
We Anarchists have some right
good stock on our side, anyway. Bis
marck and Dr. Arendt and Moreton
Frewen and the London Financial
News will compare favorably with
Billy Brecken ridge. Bob Ingersoll
and Jabann Most, who are engaged
in the service of Massa Manna.
Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock
the registration books cloeed, and it
is dollars to doughnuts that there
are more names on the books that
ought not to be there than ever oefore
sinoe this was a State.
Reading the rival newspapers one
learns that the thing has been set
tled and Illinois is certain to give
100,000 majority for Bryan and
100,000 majority for McKinley.
Evbk in this time of strange bed
fellows it attracts some notice when
one sees the toes of Dana and the
heels of Cleveland sticking from
uder the same coverlet
Chairman Hal Ayer remarked
the other day that "the show is
over." If Mr Aver will retain his
seat in the reserved tier he will see
another turn or two in the circus.
The New York papers are of the
opinion that talking from the pulpit
fer Bryan is horrible sacrelige.
bat preaching for Hanna is noble
Christian consecration.
"Gold!" eays Hanna, as be looks
around. And McKinley and the
other faithful speak up quickly,
"Yea sir, bos3."
Ootirnor O'Ferrall, of Vir
ginia, is a dried leaf, and it was
getting time for him to fall off the
tree aayhow.
Tub man who can't claim every
thing on the map is a slow-coached
conservative in these balmy days of
October.
Thhy do say that Will Kitchen
in the Fifth is giving Tommie Set

From present prospects it is prob
able that McKinley will carry Eng

AN ADDRESS TO
THE PEOPLE.
AH APPEAL FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT.
The Democratic State Executive Com
mittee Urges the White People to
Come Together for Protection
Against Negro Rule and Ruin.
Raleigh, N. C, Oct. 16, 1896.
To the Voters of North Carolina:
Fellow-citizens: The Democratic
party, now in the midst of its great
est battle for the rights of the peo
ple and good government in our be
loved State and in the nation again
calls on those having the sacred
right of freedom the ballot to
sustain its cause
For twenty years we had victory
following victory. Two years ago
a division in our ranks lost our
Legislature to Democracy This we
must redeem. Twenty years ago,
under the masterful leadership of
Vance, we went from defeat to vic
tory. Again, with the Democratic
banner in the hands of the champi
on of the people, Cyrus B. VVatsun,
we again go to victory.
The Democratic party has ever
stood with the masses. Its princi
ples have always been the embodi
ment of the necessities of the plain
people, that class of producers and
bread winners wh- se labors of bead
and hand represent American man
hood and form the essential struo
t ure of the Si ate. Never has this
truth been more psactitally illus
trated and exemplified than to day,
when again it asks the suffrage of
the freemen of North Carolina.
If the Chicago platform of 1892
did not express the people's wishes,
or if the administration of the prin
ciples then enunciated have not
been in accord with the popular de
mand, the Democratic pary, as the
ancient and well-tried orgonization
through which the people have
sought and obtained their rights, is
now in the people's full control.
The clear and positive expression of
the popular will in our State and
national declaration of priuciplrs
leave no lingering doubt in the
minds of a long-suffering people.
Aud this complete assurance of the
reforms demanded has satisfied every
ardent expectation by filing as the
executor of tne laws to be enacted
men whose lives are the living issue?
of the'day.
Democratic faith lies in those im
mutable principles which preserve
numau liberty. It has broughi
ihemoutof the past as principU
immortal, and ever living, and. in
the course of ears, as exigi-ncies
have arisen. Democracy hasgonr out
boldly to lend its helpiDg hand to
I resent wauts of tne people, and
join with them in the establishmen
of tneir wishes. This has beeu its
triumph. hose representing this
great Democracy have this day acted
in accord with this vital spirit of
the party. Today three parties iu
this great financial crisis, demand
ing that silver be restored to its pro
per position with gold xa-s inouev of
final redemption at the ratio of 16 to
1; an income tax, tnat the rich may
bear their proportion of the burden
of taxation, and kiidred reforms,
have nomi mated the same candidate
for President to carry out these re
forms. There was in two of these
parties a difference as to Vice Presi
dent. On accoumt of tke oonstitu
tional regulations providi&g for the
election of a President a ad Vice
President we must act together or
divide our vote. The Democratic
party in North Carolima had no
hesitation as to its proper course,
but proposed and arranged a com
posite ticket of electors of the three
parties, that the people's will might
prevail
Again, that Bryan's administra
tion might not lail for want of
silver legislation, our party definitely
proposed to the People's party a
united effort for free silver coagretg
men in every district in the State.
This proposition made August 13th,
has been insisted on since by your
committee, but deolined by the Peo
ple's party.
More recently it has become ap
parent that the Republican partv
was amassing au enormous registra
tion of illegal voters, made possible
by an election law of boasted fair
ness, but the provisions of which
plainly permit fraud, as many of
those who assisted in its enactment
now plainly see. The colored race
has drawn the color line, and seeing
the white people in division over the
questions of gold and silver, have,
with a few exceptions of the more
considerate and enlightened of their
race, withdrawn from any participa
tion with the white people in consid
eration of questions affecting the
public interest, and arrayed them
selves in an unbroken Republican
column, trusting that the apparent
division of the white people would
give them a dominant position. Not
only this, but we have the boastful
assurance of the Repubjioan party
officials in the press of the country
that the illegal registration of the
blacks would give the State, to Mc
Kinley , '.
AH these matters have met our
consideration. In auch fa crisis the
Democratic party rallies to the sup
port of the people. North Carolin
ians uust come together to protect
North Carolina. The intelligence
and virtue of the land must co'iirol.
White men must be asked to unite.
In this spirit, the spirit of Demo
cracy, your committee, of October
13th, frankly asked co operotion of
others whose interest should be our
interest. A co operative ticket was
offmd to the People's party for a
complete arrangement in the interest
of silver and the rule of Norb Carov
lina by wise and nprigrht. officials
This proposition the People's pry,
through its executive commit re-, de
clmed
In this effort at unity, tbe Demo
crane committee felt tht the heart
of the people was uith it. If some
thought this action was without pro
per authority or humiliating to party
pride the answer is plain. The
Democratic party acred in this as in
all its great movements, regardless of
form when its seeks the substance,
knowing no pride cav it proud
heritage of serving the people And
we cannot think that the action of
the People's partv can exptess the
wish of many of tnat organization
who honestly favor silver leg' station
aud good government Nor can we
think that tbO'-e who have so long
and earnestly advocated the restora
tion of silver, can gi e thrir adher
ence to any arrangement which de
mands their votes for gold standard
candidates. A vote given directlv or
indirectly to a gold standard Con
gressman or a Senator, fetters the
hands of a silver President for he
can sign no bill for the relief of the
people until a bill passes Congress
and is presented to him Mr. Bryan
himself has emphasized this import
ant fact by pleading with his friends
that they do not, by the elecuon of a
hostile Congress, tie his hands to
prevent his breaking the chains
which bind the people.
The records of the census of the
United States for 1890 discloses
109,346 qualified negro voters, and
233,807 qualified white voters in
North Carolina; and the Auditor's
ffice of North Carolina discloses
that m 1895, there were 63,391 col
ored polls and 167,300 wnite polls
l;8ted for taxation in Nop h Caroli
na Since the census of 1890 the
exodus has largely depleted the col
ored vote,and there are not now 100,
00O qualified negro voters iu North
Crolina. And if there is any such
negro registration ' claimed by Be
publican party officials as is notori
ously circulated it will be manifestly
fraudulent. Therefore, there can be
no doubt of the result in the State if
an honest election is held, and there
s no factious divisions of the friends
of honest government, und these
shall register and vote as their evi
dent interest appears And although
some division of the white vote is
imminent, with this great majority
there should be no doubt of our
power to marshal for the Democratic
party sufficient votes to save the
State from Republican rule and
ruin.
The committee has not been in
sensible to the criticism of some of
its friends, because of its efforts to
bring together the silver voters, but
tney felt sure that the unselfish and
patriotic impulse which guided eah
member of the committee and the
good results which must follow its
action would be finally umderstopd
and approved. Offers to the People's
party for a union of voters of that
party with us were not made from
any diutrnst of the Democratic hosts
or because of a want of reasonable
confidence in the result; but the
Democratic party felt the importance
of uniting tne white people of North
Carolina for their common interest
It made no empty declarations for
unity, but acted in accord with its
purpose The committee felt that all
men who think alike should act to
gether, and it is believed that the
voters of this State, feeling the bin
cerity of our motions, will sustain
it
Now, however, having failed in
our earnest efforts to unify the par
ties favoring silver and white su
premacy, we call on all the voters of
North Carolina to support the only
ticket presented to them which of
fers a hope of success against a
ticket headed by McKinley aad Rus
sell, and which, from towaship con
stable to President, offers them can
didates pledged to the restoration of
silver.
From all parts of the Union comes
assurances of approaching victory.
North Carolinians, rally to your
standard and A&ce your State in the
long column which will sum up
Democratic triumph! Let us gird
up our loins for this battle; let us
all work m harmony and good will:
let each man think that on him de
pends the fortune of the day, and
victory will follow the, oriflame of
Democracy. From this day, work!
ijet no private demands prevent this
public duty. Yon who honor your
native land, who love your firesides,
remember this battle and ita victory
is yours. Remember that oh your
