A State ment of Facts. Issued by the People's iParty State Central Com zaittee." It is a wonderful document. It rs not within our province to note more than a small portion ot its hypocritical cant. Suffice it to say it is an ingenious array of words displaying the highest degree of impudence and presumption that J7e have eyer yet met. The purpose and gist of the whole matter is to scold at the Democratic party for not fusing with them and an effort to in gratiate the party with the Re publicans enough, to get back af fcer cutting loose from them .and hoping to be warmed awhile yet under the Democratic cover, in which effort it got left. We wish every sensible voter in the State had a copyofvthis pamphlet and would or could read 3 thoughtfully. It says in the leginniug that the Populist party mis inspired and practically forced 7 the vacillating: characteristics and . deceptive practices of the Democratic and Republican par ties. It then goes on to declare that both parties had the same object and end in view to foster irusts and monopolies and to rob the people. It has the two old parties woiking so nicely together that they co-operated and had an understanding for the last 20 years that the one party should Slave the presidency one term and the other the next term and pre sents the great undeniable testi mony of the existence of this bar gain or scheme or conspiracy by the fact that U S Grant was elect- '7Q H T TYMow ; "7R T n Blaine in -80, Grover Cleveland in Benjamin Harrison in '88, Grover Cleveland in '92 and Wil liam' MnTCinlfiv in 'OR "T o -n xr o gnmp head that dons .everything as truth that has pessimism and jftlnmnv in it trill -rftri f not vtn ience and be convinced, when the facts are that Samuel J Tilden was elected in '76 but the Repub lican party, after R B Hays ad mitted his defeat, by picking vari ous flaws, threatened the country witn internal war rather than al 5ow Mr. Tilden to be inaugurated and the tamous Electoral Com- mission of eight Kepabhcans and known to- be false, deprived Mr. Tilden of .the seat by a strict party vote and the Republican "Be turning Board" Hayes was seated as president. This wonderful document al ways makes out the Republican party pretty bad but the Demo cratic party considerably worse while it plainly says it will co operate with either and even both it it gets a chance, as it did two years ago (shame to the Democ- The Populists held their State canvention this year before the Democratic convention and like some suspicious simpleton the getters up ot this wonderful auction say tnat every inmg in tne Democratic platform that resem bles a Populist plank is purlained or stolen from1 the Populist plat form, as if the Democratic party was tago out ot the way of its convictions of right on any point to be opposed to anything the Populist convention might antici pate. This "thing" compares the Pop ulist platform of '92 with the Democratic platform of '96, and here, too, everything the least similar is made to say that the Democratic party followed the) lead of the Populist party. This Butler sophistry t arms parts of the Democratic platform thatbave no parallel in the Pop ulist platform as driyellmg, moss back, balderdash. It says the Populists educa tional campaign was opposed by the old parties in the form of de nunciation, abuse, misrepresenta tion, villainy, slander and lying. It refers to. the lease of the N. O. railroad as the "fraudulent, mid night 99-year lease" fraudulent after every possible chance was given Gov. Russell to show that there was fraud and the effort con vinced Russell himself that the charge of fraud was an error. This mighty political slogan ends with the charge that the Democratic party nominates lawyers. Then ii gives a list of such nominations, and of course all ignorant readers will be led to inter that these offices should not be filled by lawyers, for it is just put in the form to imply that, and it , actually contains the nominations for the Supeeme Gourt, as if to say that the Democratic party does not deserve respect for nominating men in the profession of law for the Supreme Court bench. x - - .

A large hole was not needed, for the number is not large. As we said at the orfcset we can not note all the features that make this pamphlet a monument of hypo critical cant and ingenious sophis try, calculated only to mislead, the ignorant4 and stir the passions of the vicious, all of which is to have the effect to put and keep in office a set that can't h:ld an intelligent, unhiased following.

Only 2 PEACE MOT IS SIGHT. There is a strong peace tide set- c ling in unquestionably, but thus far our government has received no overtures from Spain The Queen Regent is said to be urging Carrea and Gen. Blanco to cease opposing terms of peace. The aotion of Gen. Torai at Satiago is a fair sample of the vexingquibbling andweari8ome delay.that maybe pected when negociations do begin. There is good hope for peace, but iT does not seem to be in sight by t good deal. It isn't difficult to understand why the Populist julicial convention did not nominate a man for solicitor Thursday, but placed the matter with the executive committee. It's clearlv a leave-opeu for the other pro-;fc tQ fiu 8ince tne Democratic party would not fuse with them it is an offer to the Republicans to take the left opportunity. We are now threatened with Republican aid in punishment for not f using with the Populists. And won't our Populist friends chuckle if the Republicans will come right in as second choice? We shall watch witi interest the cordial endorsement given by Sena tor Butler to the "Pritchard Popu list"- nominee in the 7ch congres sional district Morning Post. We call our Raleigh cbntempoi rary's attention to the fact that Mr. Caldwell is and always has been with Butler. He votes to endorse him on every suitab e occasion and quotes him freely. It's the other wing that will have to be satisfied. In this war we have destroyed about nineteen of the best ships of the Spanish navy; killed some 2.500 and captured from 12,000 to 1 4,000 Spaniards, and secured by the sur render at Santiago about 5,000 square miles of Cuba. Our loss is between 250 and 260 killed, none taken prisoners, and but one of our vessels slightly damaged. It does seem to us this should satisfy Span ish pride and honor. Oars is satis fied.
