Is it possible that the Democratic
party cannot rest its destiny on the
eternal decrees of right and wait the
slow but sure return of justice and
right to restore to us the supremacy
of the only party that has command
ed the respect of true North Caro
linians since the existence of her
great rival, the Republican party ?
Can it be that the once dauntless
Democracy of the old North State
can be led to make humiliating
overtures to a party whose existence
had never been but for the stirring
of passion and prejudice by un
worthyl aspirants to office ? I These
overtures, too, to a party that iused
wo years ago with the party most
opposed to what we always held to
be Democratic. j
Can it be that Democracy is ready
to forget all her dignity an& jail her
glory and ; clothe herself in the
shame of courting an element that
wedded itself two years ago to a
party largely of the black race and
actually take to her bosom in po
litical wedlock that besmirched ele
ment ? '
What prophet wouldhave dared
two years' ago even to predict such a
thiDg? ::H
Who would then bave been so
hardy or insulting as to accuse a
Democrat of willingness to fuse with
the Populists when they stultified
themselves in fusing with the party
they exercised their might against
until Butler and his ilk diverted
them from their former convictions
by a tyrade of perversion; imputa
tions, insinuations, slander and vi
tuperation against the Democratic
administration?, State and national?
But stir up the baser passions ' of
men and they may be impelled to
go anywhere ' I
Bat who eays we shall fuse and
yotefcr electors who will not vote
in harmony with the Chicago con
vention ? If the Chicago conven
tion Was Democratic as is claimed,
(and it humbles our pride to ques
tion it) who is going to say , that we
are to, vote for the. men named by
Populist leaders who are unworthy
pubmo to lead a good large number of men,
worthy and good, noHaecause they
are Populist but in spite of the fact.
- i -
and disregard the nominations made
by our own representatives in con-
vention assembled?
Before the Chicago con vention,we
heard with . regret " of those who
would not eubmit to a platform and
candidates not in harmony with
their views. Oar own convictions
be an evil, add tn election of a man
in whom theTe i?; mucri to' regret.
Now we are askni to pet this young
party, that claims everything and
has nothing good that it did not
take, along ;with it when it left
Democracy, and humiliate oursel ves
and our candidates by pulling do wn
Mr. Sewall and setting up Mr. Tom
Watson.
We are willing to do almost any
thing in the party that is not abso
lutely dishonorable, but when our
party asks us to acquiesce in pull
ing down our own nominees and in
setting up those of a party whose
better class would have eventually
come to us in a dignified way' and
whose worse claskwe do not want
a9 a thorn in the flesh, which : they
would, be we say no, and the very
proposition suggests a cancelling of
till party obligation.
If there is to be a smashing of
party antonomy and a wrecking of
all party distinctions we can afTord
to stand quietly aloof and wait till
the darkness of confusion has
broken away and new party names
to old sound principles snail indi
cate where our home is. ; '

a course of Ayers Pills the
system is set in good working
order and a man begins to feel
that life is. worth living; He
who has become the gradual
prey of constipation, does not
realize the friction under which;
he labors, until the burden is
lifted from him. ; Then his
mountains sink into mole
hills, his moroseness gives
place to jollity; he is a happy
man again. If life does not
seem worth livingto you, you:

of it after taking !
