After cur county treasurer, Mr. 0
W Swink, was shown the above axs
tides, he at once went to the tele
phot e and talked to Mr. Reid, the
editor of the Watchman, and told
him that he desired fa know who
the correspondent from this county
was to that paper who wrote such
unfounded statements about him .
Mr. Reie not wishing to get his
correspondent into trouble, did not
' divulge the name of the writer, but
said he would senl him to Mr.
Swink. This did not satisfy Mr.
Swmk, and he at once told Mr. Reid
that unless he atattd before leaving
that 'phone the name of the writer
he (Editor Reid) would beheld

And who was it, do you suppose?
It wad Mr. GEd. Kestler, the former
county treasurer, and ex .editor of
the Vestibule.
Now below we publish statements
from the parties whose names were
mentioned, showing that the state

"Mr. sailor: rirase allow me
space m your paper to say a few
words to the readers of your paper
in regard to where I stand in poll
tics. When the Populist party
came into existence I believed it to
bs a good thing and accordingly
joined it. They promised hetter
financial government. the leaders
denounced both the old parties.saying
they (the Democrats and Republic
cans) were in favor of the gold
standard monopolies, trusts, com
bines, etc. They declared in their
platform if pot in power they would
restore free silver, abolish trusts
and combinations. They were put
in power by fusing with the Repub
licans in this State. They worked
withla vim and elected Pritchard, a
old-bug," and Butler, a silverite,
to the "United States Senate, thus
showinsr.i their sincerity, and now.
they . are co-operating vwith the Re
publicans' (a party exactly in the
opposite to the : most important
planks in their platform, to wit. I
free Vilver and white supremacy),
and negroes to gain the next elec
tion, wnich fully shows to m that
it is office and not good government
they want. So I forever sever my
connection with such a crowd and
think it is time that all good white
people should return to the rescue
of the interest of the people of
North Carolina, ' by supporting,
alone, the Democratic nominees in
the coming election. There are lota

The Charlotte Observer, wnich is
doubtless as fair as a newspaper can
well get, and spares no means to get
at the truth, sent its very efficient
correspondent, Mr. ELE 0 Bryant
to the east to see and note from a
local standpoint, kr. Bryant, in
writing from Tarboro, criticised
sharply one W E Fountain., Some
time later the Obserrer published
over the signatures of a number of
citizens of Tarburo a statement that
Air. Bryant had done Mr. "Fountain
great injustice. Now, however, at a
