An Appeal to xne intelligence and Reason of the Noble and Helpless Women, Who Stand in Greatest Peril if the Repub- j licans are Successful at the' Polls and the Force Bill is Fast ened Upon the South. : Correspondence North Carolinian. Dear Madam Your lot in life is j 'doubtless hard. Your cook, if you can afford to have one, is thriftless, incompetent and impudent. The col ored hands are idle, careless and un manageable. Your husband's crop is short. He is in debt, doubtless. Cot- on is six cents the pound. Tobacco is going for a song. There is no spare tnoney to educate the children ; barely enough to clothe them against the winter's approaching cold. Your hus band's face no longer wears a smile. He does not talk about the same things he used to talk about. He is much from home. Strange and bitter words are in his mouth and in his neighbor's mouth. This is your condition this is our condition. Your husband has been fooled by his false and treacherous leaders into the belief, that, through i he Third party, a sudden change for the better will take place. Perhaps your husband has misled you into the same belief. If so, dear Madam, stop and reflect. The Third party is made up of white men. The Democratic party is made up of white men. The Radical party is made up of negroes. The negroes never divide. Ask your husband, dear Madam, this question: How can the People's party win if the white men are divided and the negroes stand united? What does he say? Ah ! hear him. His cheek is flushed, his eye is red uid inflamed, his blood is hot and he says : "Ihad as soon have the blackest nig- j get in the estate to rule over me as to have things go on like they are." Yes, your white husband has said that, and has gloried in what he said Shame on him ! "Whom the Gods would destroy, ihey first make mad. In his bosom, yea, he has forgotten he blue-eyed white boy, your little boy and his, the pledge of your mutual affection, him he has forgotten as he coos in his innocent and helpless radle Let the pure, red, anglo-saxon blood n nis veins, that blood that knows no master, and has never known that blood that has made the Southern white man, in the midst of defeat, the wonder and admiration of the world let that blood ose its color ; let his straight hair, that "idge of distinction, grow crooked and curled upon his dishonored head ; let .he hollow of his foot make a hole in he ground, and let him be consigned ! the companionship of the negroes, thorn he is seeking to elevate above us! And then, when he succeeds in this F tate, what will be your lot, and the 1 t of all white women in this State 1 The first act, dear Madam, of the Rad- i als when they get into power in our b ate will be to disarm the white militia, ;-id this means that when a white woman in this State is raped by a negro fiend, her undoing will go un avenged for fear of a negro mob and 'iot. Why, with the fear of instant and unerring death staring them in the face, the number of rapes of this kind in the South, running into the scores, vould amaze you. You think now when a negro is im pudent to you that it is bad enough, but where will you go to get relief, when the negro finds out that he owns the State and county governments? Besides, ask your husband what has the Demncratic party in North Caroli na done that he should fight it. Ask him it his taxes are not low ; if he is not protected in his life, limb, and earthly honor; ask him if his insane relation is not cared for at the State's expense ; ask him if the poor soldier does not get some compensation for the wound received in defense of his country ; ask him if the officers of the State and counties are not upright and honest ; ask him if the State is not doing all it can do to educate the chil dren, and finally ask him if he did not go into the Democratic primaries and help to name the very ticket that he is now fighting? If he says "yes," rsk him if he is honest in so doing. My dear Madam, if we Democrats v ere rich, and your Third party hus t and was poor, my words would have no wings, but such is not the case. We are all poor. We are all in the same Loat. The town is poorer than the cjuntry. Why make bad matters worse? Why overturn a good govern -r-.ent because we are poor? Let us r ot forget our many blessings. We lave life, we have health, we have l.berty, we have been a happy people, a united people, a peculiar people, a ('rod-fearing people. "Isms" and "scisms"had no lodgment here. True, we are poor, but God has r iade many things worse, a thousand f ld worse, than poverty. Think on these things, dear Madam, r nd in the still watches ot the night, in t le silent presence of those you love, i k your husband if he will not with i Md his destroying hand. Or else, in t tie near future when you see the old State gutted by Radical extravagance and thievery ; her credit destroyed and ner name tarnisnea; when you see your home made insecure because of : an incapable and black government ! at Raleigh, and when your see not only the evil of hard times, but the added 1 evil of chaos, strife and confusion at home, you may perhaps remember this letter too late. X. THE WEAVER AND HIS DUPE. Atlanta Constitution. "Will you walk into my party, said Wea ver very sly. Tis the most profuse in promises that ever you did spy. lo enter into my party is by a devious way, You must renounce your section, and do ouai c ci x say. ai youv e oeen an oia uomederate, you must be penitent, Confess your life's been wrong before I win reient. I m sure you nr st bf weary, dear, with toiling all your life. Will you rest upon my downy bed, drop There is richneess in my party, there are turkeys, there are hams. I 'raised' them all in Tennessee, I 'pressed' them from the lands. I have also a good supply of cotton in the yarn, This 1 saved and sent away before I fired the barn." Again said Weaver to his dupes: "Dear friends, what can I do. To prove the warm affection I've always ucujiKiacv ami sr.riTR ieii ior you c 1 have always loved you, and borne you on my heart, And 1 could not now at this late day bear from you to part. I love you so very dearly that upon my soul I'm bent lo sacrifice my comfort, and be President." "Sweet Friends," said the Weaver, are Door, but vou are wise: your 'you You are ali great etatesmen, I see it with my eyes ; I'll buy up all the railroads, the, 'phones and telegraph, And I'll give each man an office with pay to make him laugh. I'll pay the Union soldier three hundred million more In our paper dollars than they ever got before. "Your cotton I will surely bring twenty Your miteuk. Lease will be, and vote on every round.

"In everything they'll be just like our bister lease. They'll give tbe poor men little chance to rest and live in peace." Alas, alas, how very strange this silly little speech, Could so impress a Southern man as to his senses reach ? But with buzzing tongues they hung about, then near, and nearer drew, Thinking only of his lurid tales of rain bow purple hue. Thinking only of absurdities poor foolish things At last Up lumped the cunning Weaver, and fiercely held them fast. He dragged them down his winding stair into his dismal den. Within his party, hoping they'd ne'er come out again. And now, my dear old Southern friends, who may this story read, To idle, silly, foolish words I pray you ne'er give heed. And to your fathers' party, I pray of you still cling, ' And under Democracy's banner, "Oa to Victory," we will sing. Don't list to the seductive speech of the one, who would "get there," For it contains but bubbles, which soon dissolve to common air. To such an evil counsellor, pray close your heart; don't stoop. But take a lesson from this tale of the "Weaver and His Dupe." I. W. G. READ AND REFLECT. With the Lodge national election law in full force in the South and va rious Democratic strongholds up North, we way confidently look for a different state of political affairs than now exists. New York city will then return several more Republican Con gressmen than at present, while more than twenty negro Reprensentatives from the South will render the Re publican control of the future Con gress absolutely safe and sure. Heavy taxes should be laid upon the property of the whites to develop. and extend the public school system of these States. Separate schools for the two races should be abolished, and the plan of bringing the youth of both colors into close and equal relation in schools and churches given a fair trial, as one of the most potent elements to breakdown the detestable Bourbonism ot the South. The State laws aganist the inter-marriage of the races should be repealed, and any discrimination against the banks in the matter of learning trades or obtaining employ ment should be a criminal offense, while the colored man's rights to hold office should be sacredly protected and recognized. A few years of this policy will solve the race problem satisfactorily. Washington (D. C.) National Republican. WE-are in fine spirits about elect ing B. H.

Malone, of Ashe ville, Who was the Third Party Nominee for Judge of the Western District, Giving Good Reasons Why He will Support Cleveland and Carr. Last week we announced that Maj. Malone had declared his intentions to vote for Cleveland. Below we pub lish an extract from his letter which speaks for itself. He says : Either the Democratic party or the Republican party will elect a President and the House of Representatives, and to say that Weaver and Field have a reasonable chance of election is ab surd. During the last fifteen years I have tried honestly to inform myself upon the three following propositions : f irst. The cause of the scarcity of money and the financial distress which began in 1873. Second. Who is responsible for this condition of affairs? Third. What is the best remedy and what political party is best dis- j posed to come the rescue of the suf- i fenng millions or people of these United States? In the hour of great distress many of our people have lost hope of relief from either of the parties, but we must have a choice. I am honestly of the belief that the Southern States will have no iinuncial prosperity until the old system shall be restored. And a ray of hope is cast into the dark sky of financial dis tress when the Chicago Convention passed a resolution demanding the re peal of the law imposing the ten per cent, tax on such notes. The people are tired ot that system of finance which produces millionaires on the one hand and millions of pau pers on the other hand ; which pro duces a castle here and ten thousand miserable hovels there ! A leading United States Senator declared in the Senate a few months ago that there existed a combination of men whose policy was to make money scarce. This is a startling proposition. We all know the effect. When money is scarce all property and labor shrink in prices. Money is the measure ot all values. Even at this time the farmer can not sell his cattle, horses and mules for what it costs to raise them ; all agricultural products have declined in value. A stringency in money always produces distrust and doubt, while all enterprise is checked and a state of general stagnation fol lows. Believing that the policy of the Re publican party tends to produce the results herein indicated, I can not see how our people could support the Re publican party. I should not omit to say that the criticism of the National banking system has no reference to the men now engaged in the business, but to the original objects of the sys tem and the original manipulators who procured the odious legislation here described. It is a law, and our fellow-citizens who desire to do so, have a right to its benefits. The managers of our National banks stand deservedly high for integrity and busi ness capacity, and have shown a com mendable disposition to accommodate the people. This argument is directed against the " system" and not against our citizens who have availed them selves of the law. These same excel lent gentlemen would and could serve themselves and the country much better under a well and safely devised plan of State banks. I have one other reason why the people of North Carolina should not support Mr. Harrison for the Presi dency a second term. Coming to the Presidency when he did, as a distin guished descendant of a noble ancestry, and at a period of twenty-five years after the close of the war, we were in duced to believe that whatever may have been his views on certain great issues, his administration would have been national in its character and not sectional. The history of the sectional character of this administration is well known to the American people. In the selection of his cabinet ad visors, and in all the important pat ronage of the government, the South-! ern States are practically ignored. Are these noble States a part of the American Union ? If so, who should dare to ignore any one, or any portion of them in the distribution of the honors an"l emoluments of office? Shall these States be taxed to raise enormous sums of revenue and yet have no representative in cabinet council, before foreign courts, nor in the judiciary department of the gov ernment ? It is further known that President Harrison favors certain legis lation in Congress embodying what is called the " force bill." The objects of this legislation is to affect the South ern States alone. The great leaders of the Harrison wing of the Republican party are openly and boldly for this infamous legislation. The Repub lican House of Representatives of the last Congress passed the bill. This bill was denounced by H. G. Ewart, a Republican member of Congress from this district, to be an attempted legislation of the most damnable char acter of anv on record. Mr. Reed, of Maine, the Speaker of the House, in speaking, of this bill in a speech in Pittsburg, said : "We intend to do our own counting." The Philadelphia Press, an influential Re publican newspaper, in advocating the merits of this bill, claimed that the effect would be to send about twenty three negroes to Congress from the Southern States. Thus, finding the Republican paity ignored in the South on account ot its odious record during the dark days of reconstruction, it is proposed to infuse vitality into this dead party by the use of bayonets at the polls. The Washington Post said a Jew days ago that Mr. Harrison could settle this issue about the force bill by simply saying : " I,ani opposed to it." Yet he has not said it. In his recent letter of acceptance he evades the question in terms, but leaves no doubt as to his sentiments, so often repeated by him on the sub ject. This is a vital issue, and no man whose position is even doubtful should obtain our support. It will not satisfy the people to say there is no danger of the force bill, because the purpose to pass such a bill is too obvious. I believe that the more able and conservative leaders of the Republican party are opposed to the force bill, such as J. G. Blaine for instance. But I am inclined to think that there are ambitious leaders connected with the Harrison wingot the Republican party, who, rather than surrender political power, would bring about a contest between tbe blacks and whites and which would result in bloodshed and ruin to the South. This party is fast losing strength in the great West and Northwest, and if necessary to repair the losses in the South, who knows what desperate measures may be re sorted to if they have the power? The unscrupulous leaders who would dare count in a President a man seated by fraud who was never elected 1 by the people, a party that is williner j M. tr ' X J o to corrupt the ballot box by tne direct use ot money a party that would throttle the States and disperse a legis lature with bayonets, can not be trusted with too much power. The country is tired of sectionalism ; they desire that reconciliation, reunion and amnesty shall be the rallying cry of the times. These hates, and the revival of the dead issues of the past, tend to retard our growth and to pre vent the free investment of capital in the South. Now we have Grover Cleveland as the representative of the Democratic party. He has been tried ; his ability, patriotism and integrity are not ques tioned. He has the confidence of the business man, the capitalist and the laborer. It is true that as Senator Vance has recently said, some of us had differed with Mr. Cleveland on certain issues, but is the difference of opinion sufficient to cause us to sup port a movement which may result in the election of the Republican ticket in the State and in the national elec tion ? I To my friends of the People's party I ask where is the hope for relief if the Republican party triumphs? Where is the hope for the free coinage of silver? Where is the hope for the issuance of 50 per cent, capita of national currency, if the Republican party shall retain power ? I ask, then, where is the chance of the People's party defeating the Republican or ganization? The Democratic party may and can defeat it. Which do you prefer in this great emergency ? If you prefer the triumph of the Demo cratic party, why not withdraw from the present canvass and support -Mr. Cleveland ? I have written this letter, believing as an honest man all said in it is the truth, and refuse to support the Peo ple's ticket both State and national, and shall support Cleveland and Carr. HOW THE BATTLE WILL BE. New York Sun. The deep disappointment which the elections in Florida and Georgia have given the Republicans will not prevent them, of course, from making strenuous efforts to carry West Vir ginia, North Carolina and Alabama. At the same time the apologue of the elections in Florida and Georgia is plain. It is the permanence of polit ical forces. It tears down rainbows for both the great parties. It shows that there is no rational ground for the Republicans to expect conquests in the South. It indicates by the safest analogy that Massachusetts and the Northwest must be left out of account by the Democrats. The old fight is to be fought over on the old gound. Nev York and Indiana are the cen ter of that fight, and the thickest of it is right here in the Empire State. BOOM-DE-A. 1 State Chronicle. The following verses, written by a Cliar ltte drummer, are making the rounds and receiving considerable attention: A Third party ticket Is in the field. Composed of men who turkeys steal ; Gen.

This is aDemocratic Year, Says Chair man Simmons, and He Proceeds to Give the Reasons for the Faith That Is in Him A Vigorous Paper to the. Voters of North Carolina. Rooms State Dem. Ex. Com. Raleigh, N. C., Oct. G, 1892 To the People of Sorth Carolina Evidently this is to be a Democratic year. All the September and October elections so far held have gone strongly in our favor. In Vermont we have re duced the old time Republican majority 24 per cent. In Maine, the home of Mr, Blaine and Mr. Reed, notwithstanding- tremendous efforts to increase the Re publican majority, for its effect upon the country, we have, with compantively small efforts cut down that majority fully 33 per cent., and thrown that little Re publican stronghold almost, if not alto gether, into the column of doubtful States. In Arkansas, where the Third party claimed to be especially strong, we made a clean sweep, carrying that State by the largest majority we have received there in twenty-five years, and polling more votes than the Republicans and 1 hird parties combined. In Alabama we overcame by a hand some majority the fusion between the two opposing parties, and that despite the lact that the Republican -National Executive Committee is said to have furnished the Kolb faction, representing tne Third party, f 75,000 with which to defeat the Democracy. In Florida the Republicans did not put out a State ticket, but indorsed the ticket put forth by the Third party. For weeks past the atmosphere has been laden with rumors and predictions that this strange and unnatural combination would sweep the field in that. State. On the 4th iust, the election in Florida was held, and small as is its aggregate vote, our majority reached the modest but comfortable number of 25,000. And now the wires bring us the glad tidings of overwhelming victory in our sister State of Georgia. There, as in Florida, the Radicals and Weaverites united, and in open shame celebrated an unholy wedlock, but the wrath of an in dignant people has happily cut short their honeymoon of great expectations. Seventy thousand Democractic majority is a very satisfactory answer to the boastful predictions with which theallied followers of Harrison and Weaver have for days past taunted us Nor does the Empire State of New York any long languish 111 thedoubtfulcolumu A few weeks ago the electoral vote of that great State was boldly claimed for tlarnson and Keid, but today those who study the political situation as they do the stock markets freely offer to stake 10 to 7 upon Democratic victory in that State, and find no takers. In Indiana, the home of Harrison, the Bepublicans, demoralized and dispirited by the rising tide of Democracy, have almost abandoned hope, and the shrew dest and wisest observers of the drift and crystalization of sentiment there confi dently assert that not even Dudley's " blocks-of-five" system can swing its electoral vote from theCIevelandcolumn. Nor is this all. The situation in at least four other Western States, hitherto Republican, gives unmistakable promise of Democratic success in November. The fanners of these States, many of whom contemplated independent action, are beginning to see clearly the helpless ness 01 the w eaver movement, and that their interests will be best served by the election of Mr. Cleveland; and, under the leadership of J udge Gresham, who was recently, with remarkable unanimity and enthusiasm, tendered the nomination for the Presidency by the Omaha conven tion, are rallying to the Democratic stan dard by thousauds. The wires yesterday brought us the gratifying intelligence that this great and trusted leader of the Western people in an interview has ad vised his friends who are in the Third party movement that there is no possi bility of electing Mr. Weaver, and that the only hope of saving the country form Plutocracy lies in the election of Mr. Cleveland, and with solemn emphasis Eredicts that "four years more of Mc linleyism will ruin the farmers and the workingmen and place the country com pletely under the control of the pluto crats through the creation of trusts and combinations which would control the industries and markets of the country," All this is but the flood of the great tidal wave of Democracy which in 1890 swept the entire country, submerging the party of special privileges an 1 class legis lation beneath a majority of 148 in the lower House of Congress. These unmis takable and overwhelming evidences of its constantly increasing momentum make it all but certain that its mighty sweep will not subside until it has safely landed in the White House him from whom it received its first inspiration and impetus. Evidently, I repeat, this is to be a Democratic year, and now with entire confidence I predict whentherollis called on the morning of November Oth, North Carolina, with her usual majority swoolen j by the influence of this tidal wave, will take her accustomed place in the front rank of the victors, her banners bearing high the triumphant ensigns of Demo cracy. This is not the vaporing of mere fancy nor vain and idle prediction, but a plain and unvarnished statement of the far-ts and results already evolved; what has already been awomplished and what will inevitably follow are but the logical out come of the influences and forces now operating in the entire country in favor of our party. Mr, Cleveland's nomination at Chicago was unmistakably tne result ot a jeo- nW mnrpmont tfnAna- tliriviirl,nt the length and breadth of the country, i to stand for their homes and their His nomination was made airuinst the j firesides. protest of the politicians, and despite!

Here in North Carolina we have a rep etition of the :ime combination which has just met with such signal defeat hi Arkansas, Florida and Giorgia. The disguise behind which this combi nation seeks to veil its purposes is too transparent to deceive, and only add. to the compact the odious feature of con- 1 spiracy. Between the leaders of the Third nartv ' ana those ot tne Jtepublican party, then is undoubtedly perfect understanding ana enure narmony nna concert, al though, erstwhile, from motives of shrewfi policy, they fain would conceal this fad from their followers. There no longer remains any reasonable doubt that the Republican party is their ultimate goal, but, in order the more successfully to carry with them into it the rank and file of their followers, who are in the main 1 1 1. 1 1. 1 .1 1 l',L'" uA uu.qv 1 uivi nun v,.. l .oui v.x.iiiinK ,iorK.i,uuiifi ..iht., tortuous journey clandestinely and by eas relays. Therefore at every step in this transi-. tion we hear them boldly proclaiming ; one day what they have either denied or ' suppressed on the day previous; and I such, doubtless, will mark its progres- sive development to the end. Starting j out with professions of extreme fidelity to the true principles of Democracy, they now openly avow their purpose to de feat and overthrow those principles and the party which alone stands for them. With vain and illusory promises of impracticable benefits and reliefs, they induced these Deonle to renounce their allegiance to the party in which they were born and raised, and to which they owe so much, and now when the work of separation has been completed, of all the glittering rewards promised they only offer the miserable pittance of an increase in the currency of thirty cents per capita. bhrewdly, indeed, have these plotters paved the way to say to their followers: Alas you cannot go back to the Demo cratic party our schemes have all pro- t veu visionary and illusory behold the doors of the Republican party open unto us, let us enter. If the well-meaning and honest men who are now in this movement were asked to-day to embrace Harrison and Reid Harrison, the monometalist, the high priest of protection and the foster- father of the Force bill ; Reid, the proto- I type monopolist, millionaire and pluto- j crat many, if not all of them, would . shrink from the contact; but will they do it on the day of election? No time will be lost and no opportu nity spared between now and then in in flaming them to that pitch of blind and unreasoning hatred of the Democracy j necessary for reckless deeds, and then, in j tneiunnessot time, unless an signs tan, they will be boldly invited to the revolt ing feast.

The efforts being made by this mongrel combination to defeatour State and legis- j lative ticket ought not to succeed because j tii ! candidates we have nominated for 1 these positions are men above reproach, and there is no complaint even from our j adversaries against the administration j of our local affairs by the Democratic party. No reason even approximating j plausibility is assigitied by anyone why the change should be made. While, on ' the other hand, the black record of 18G8 I is an all-sufficient reason why wc should j not again place our home affairs in the i hands of the Republican party or any I other orgauization in coalition with it WHO IS ItESPOXSinLE ? Unquestionably the people have griev-1 ances, and in large measure their com- ( plaints are just, but what is the cause? I shall not stop to answer at length this j qnestion nor to discuss the remed y. Suf fice it to say all who admit there are wrongs which demaud redress concede that, so far as due to legislat ion at all, they arise from bad and unjust national laws, not a Hingle one of which was pass ed by the Democratic party, aud not a single one of which it has since its pas sage, had the power to repeal. It is true at one time during the last thirty years we had the Senate and the House, but not the Presidency. It is also true that once during that time we had the l'resident and the House, but not the Senate. At no time during this long period have we held control of all the three law-making branches of thegovern ment to the end that we might pass a good law or repeal a bad one. On the other hand, at all times during this period the Republican party has been able either to pass such law as it ap proved or protect from repeal such as it had already enacted. Under these circumstances who is re sponsible for the existenceorcontinuance of these wrongs? The Democratic party, which admits their existence, defines the cause, states the remedi. and promises to apply them so soon as it is able ; or the Republican party, which after having produced them denies their existence, and to all the lamentations of the peo ple answers only, " The laws we have given you are good and just," and, in confirmation, bids us, in tin? sententious language of l'resident Harrison, Be hold a prosjK'rons eople upon whom rests the blessings of God ?"' I leave you to answer at I he polls in November. FAITH IN THE PATRIOTISM OK THE PEOPLE. The Democratic party in this struggle, as always, relies solely but confidently upon the nnfailing patriotism of th-good people ot .ortli Carolina.
