ing paraljzed in the legs and back,
caused, it is thought, by some
spinal affection or a slight attack of
dipijtheria unknown to any one.
Little "Nancy" is a pretty blue- eyed
baby, and was brighter than the
average child for hei ag and is a
favorite of every baby lover in tnat

child may recoyer from paralysis, bu
it is feared she will be deformed
for life. We hope net.

Sometime ago the Standard clip

published in the Raleigh News &
Observer. Mr. Marion Battler de

RAKD"iS Mills, N. C, Oct. G.
Aa there has been, and is yet
much conjecture as to where I stand
politically, I will, if you will allow
me space m your co'.unuij, explain
in a manner there Ci:i b-j no quib
bling about hereof cor. I confess I
have been very much
, lc33 since
the coalition convention Li Raleigh
to locate accurate!? tiv poiilicl
whereabouts. As Tom Vatva vioald
s-iy I did not know where I eus ;it,
but as time pasicd by I gr-iv in wis
dom and broadened in views until I
came to realize that my psrty had
slipped from its moorings and was
threatening violence to the prir:ci
pies it advocated at its inception
and in whose defence, honestly
raised my voice two year ago.
A fusion wiih any party we had
before arranging for iniq-aiLoua leg
islation, my better judgement told
me, was a political crime. I wta a
Populist after the etraightest sect
and had settled down in sincere con
viction that the declaration of
principles we had "thrown to the
world were good enough, liberal
enough and broad enough to cover
the earth from pole to pole, and
that the welfare of my country d
manded f.ie formation of a new parly
to enact them into a law; nrA I
nujd hitve denounced in the
strongest" terra ecaiitfea yriri atrf
party, it matters not by what name
yon might distinguish it. Aud I
used all of my influence with u.y
Populist friends to antagonize auy
such baneful and unholy influences
as it would have on the partv that
we considered to all intents and pur
poses the salt of the earth. I askel
them to be orthodox or take down
their banners. This course I con
sidered honorable and the only
one we could pursue to successfully
meet argument in the coming cam
paign. The fusion convention turned a
Ueaf ear to every appeal of th-3 kind
and voted it down, net taking into
consideration at all the fact tL; t
they were sounding the death kuell
of the Populist party. R'ght at
this juncui-e, sore and chagrined i 8
I was, a Philadelphia lawjtr, if
s.?oru and put upon the stand, could
not hare told where 1 stood in
politics. And as retaliatory uieas
ures and edicts are more or less
justified by aws human and divine
1 say to my many friends who seem
to be inquisitive about my political
position, that I shall re3ent thi
crying Injustice done my party by
voting the Democra'ic party.
The names Republican aud Pop
ulist, by the action of the fusion
convention, were made Bynonymons
terms. What one implies, the other
implies making either, or both re
pulsive and uncongenial to the m
ture of an intelligent, Southern born
white man, viewing it from the
standpoint.
It is not neccessary to review the
history of the two old parties, as all
intelligent voters are familiar with
them. By no means would I say
their records have been ideal ones.
However, I believe the Democratic
pirty has sorely repented its folly in
reducing the country to the gold
standard. It has learned by sad ex
perienci that mch lislation aug
merited the troubles of which the
country complains.
Fusion in Iowa with the Democrats
f psion in North Carolina with the
Republicans, destroy the People's
party with its prestige and leaves in
its rake nothing but the vacuum it
once occupied, and the more I me
diate over it, the more intolerable it
becomes. Vice and virtnre being
incompatible, I shall vote the Demo
cratic ticket. W. H. Rand.
