"Public office is a public trust,
lor the benefit of trie public,"
Grover Cleveland.
Was Mr. Cleveland sincere
when he uttered these words?
we believe he.wna, we have ho
reason to (lonbt it. 1
Do the board of comfuission
ers of Vance county share this
sentiments with Mr. : Cleveland?
certainly not. AVhy do we say
this?: Because at; their regular
meeting on the first Monday in
&his months (September) where
about to appoint the judges of
theeleetion for'the several voting
precincts, in this county, tney
were requested to appoint one
of said iudseateach precinct jn
the county from, the Teoples
party. Did they comply with
this request! No. Was this re
quest .a reasonable one? Yes.
Why then did they not grant it?
Only . because they did not be
lieve.' with Mr. Cleveland .that
"public office is a public trust,"
to be discharged iu the interest
of the people.
What did these commissioners
do in this uni tier? They appoint
ed the registrars and two of the
judges from the Democratic and
two from the Republican party!
and of those appointed from the
Republican jmrty some of them
can neither read or write. -
.Was it kuown to these com
missioners when thev appointed
these judges of election that some
of them could neither read' or
write? Yes.. Why then did they
appoint menjto this high trust,
to this most important, 'duty
when they knew, from delict of
education, that they Wre hH:a li
able of performing the dUiies in
cident to the trust reposed in
them by the Jaw? . .
. Were the Democratic judges of
the election 'appointed, by the
commissioners at the same time
they appointed illiterate Kepu b
lipan judges of election able to
read and write? Yes. What then
was the object of the commis
sioners in appointing competent
Democratic' election; Judges
and' incompetent Republican
judges, and resfusing to the Peo
ples party any judges of electiou
whatsoever, whether competent
or incompetent? Was their pur
pose in this, holiest and fair?
Did they desire a ("free ballot
and a fair count") or did they
desire and expect these shrewd,
intelligent, educated Democratic
election judges to oyer reachand
take advantage of their stupid
and ignorant Republican colle-
ues. In the enforced absence of
any judge of election on the part
of the People's party? Are these
commissioners honest.and faith
ful depositories of the great trust
confided to them? Do. thev hold
and administer this "office as a
public trust for the benefit of the
public"? or have they betrayed
the people in , the interest of
the party? " , , ' . -: ,
Fellow citizens! these commis
sioners are not 3 our masters
yet! they are your servants, see
to. it they remain such. . .
Do you desire to remain free?
or will you basely Surrender the
noble heritage of freedom be
queathed to von bv vour fath-
1 .,,- mm.
evsf it von desire to be tree, U
vou intend to remain free, then
vou must see to it that at the
hext,and all suceeedingelections
the ballot is free and thecDunt is
fair; Remember that "eternal
vigelance is the price of liberty."
j Money at 2 per cent and issued
as per demands of the Farmers'
Alliance upon . products, is a
necessity for our starving rob
bed millions of farmers. Both
old parties demand a high rate
oj interest.. Where- rates of
uiterest'are high the products of
labor are low. As4iionev is with-
drawn from circulation by. th
bond holders your products and
labor are not used because no
money to pay for them.
The Republicans are for pro
tection which tubes ou t 340,000,-
uuu dollar) from tbe pockets of
the eople. The Democrats be
lieve in a tariff ior reveuue onlv
which takes out from the peo-
pies pocket, the same amount.
. 1 .
.Can you tell us the. difference?
If 100,000,000 dollars in gold
is sumeient collateral for o40,-
000,000 dollars in treasurv
notes, would not 425,000,000
dollars worth of iigriculttiral
products be a letter sixuiitv
or the 1140,000,000 tlollurs 'irs
per Sub 'Treasury plan of the
Fanners Alliance.

y1."- lv.ery oneiKtaiids on
the Omaha plutform-and it is
well known that neither a Dem
ocrat or a Republican can stand
there. Goodbye old party Good
bye." :
The present Congress (Demo
:rat) spent only about $44,000,-
000 more of the people's, money
fiat " the Republican Congress
which preceded it. If the second
session of this congresscontinues,
at same ratio, it wilt lead the
billion foliar congress (51st) by
nearly 100.000.000 do hirs.
Hadu't you better try another
. V 9 -
party 111 congress?
One of our Democratic daily's
asks are Southern Fjirmers
ready to contribute 1.500,000
bales of cotton annually to pay
pensioners? It says if you do
not, vote, for Cleveland. It is
well known that during Cleve
land' administration the num
ber of pensioners were greatly
increased, and that he . siffueil
more penson biHs than any one
of his predecHorH. To save that
coiton, you will have to vote for
some other party and soine oth
er candidate.
. The platform of the People's
party is so.plain that any man
can, understand it. The financial
plank especially is the one lcad-
iug plunk for us to secure first,and
the one which causes the great
and determined fight against the
people. The enactment . of that
one plank into law, would drive
trusts, combine, speculators in
agricultural products, and the
"Shylock" who loans inonev at
such a great interest, to seek
other professions more honora
ble and better for their souls.
Select men for your law-makers
and executive officers who are
redded to this abqveiill others,
and the safety of our homes from
confiscation,' and .of our lives
from slaverv will be secured.
More money in circulation and a
lower rate of iuterest and the
keeping of the hunds of the
money powers from our crop,
will be a boon, a blessing to this
country.
The demands of the Alliance
have been endorsed by the Peo
ple's party. . No other party has
done so. The People's party
have buried the bloody shirt by
phi.-ing Weaver a northern man
at the head of the ticket, and
Fields, a southern man, on
second place. The People's party
recognized the fact that the war
is over 'that -the hatchctt is
buried, that the northwest ami
south have joined hunds against
the encroachments of the east
headed by Harrison and Cleve
land. Abuse and ridicule, instead or
arguments sh ows the weakness
of a cause. That is the method
inaugurated by thechirfs .of the
great Democratic party, which
is being o lavishly disphived bv
tffe partisan press of the State.
The President of the Atate Al
liance is receiving his share of
this dirty stuff frojn his dirtv
tradtuets, but this is one conso
lation; there is not an editor,nor
a writer of all these sheets, nor
a political boss of the bid ma-!
chine part in North Carolina
dares face him in debate.
There is no over-production of
cotton, wheat, corn,&c,or labor.
There cannot be while thou
sands, yea, millions, in free
America are without clothing
and food, and thousands of in
dustries need to be started and
kept going. Money hoarded by
bankers and land sharks, grain
speculators, cotton stealers, and
shylocks playing their illegal
trades is what's the matter with
this country. Goto tfie ballot
box and crush these conspiracies
against the rights of the people
and all will be well.
- Those who would prejudice
you against the People's party,
...
call vour attention-to matter
which they state as a-fact that
the ticket nominated by th
People's party had put a num
ber of Republicans on it Now
we wish to state right here that
when men went into the Peo
ple's party, they renounced all
claims as Democrats "or Republi
cans, and one man has just n
much-right to be nominated in
our convenuon as anv other
mcmlerof it. Do hot let the
enemy make a fool of you my
brother. They swear they will
drive nil former Democrats back
to the Democratic party, and all
former Republicans back to the
Republican party. That dny'ia
past. 'Thepcuple are thinking
and acting and "don't vou for
get it." Be true to the princi
ples of reform. Stand firm osi
on election day in Norember
make the result show.-
Uave you noticed that tte
same plan is being purueJ
against the People's party that .
has been against the AIlinLct?
No arguments can be brought
forward to meet our phi t fore
so they think they will down it
by slaudering the nominee. Go
a head with your mud ingin-.
The jeople of North Carolina
have learned your tricks, m J
you cannot own them by anr
such villainous methods. Xcitb-

COL. 'JOHN S. CUNNLNNj1AM
says: I take great pleasure !n
recommending Mrs. Joe Per
son's valuable remedy. I have
known several persons who have
suffered from Dispepsin to have
oeen entirely relieved by taking
this excellent vegetable Tonic.
One of my neigh Iwira who was a
great sufferer from scrofula used
the Remedy, and is now a well
man. I believe- we shouM pat
ronize home industries, and e
ecinly thoso who have leen so
well and favorably known for
years to merit public approval.
For hef rn'reonrl liability Mn.
Person is -endorsed by the bet
citizens of our State.
