And though that Alliance plat form .is the platform of the Peo ple's Party, still the Alliance is not a political party and never has I ,een, nor is now, in politics! Why not tell the truth once in awhile? Capt. W. H. Day, of Halifax, has written a letter, and says he he intends lo vote the Republican ticket this year because it is the eound money party. The predic tion of some Populists that all the Democrats would quit the democratic' party and leave noth--ing but brimstone and a smell of sulphur behind is, however, wait ing ofV fulfilment. We have always thought that Democracy stood ' for individual liberty, a strict construction -of the constitution, the unconstitu tionality of a protective tarifY, the xights of the states, an honest cur rency, an economical administra tion at Washington, utter hatred ,of the abuse of the .taxing powel5 of the general government. If true Democracy those doct : t a democrat on uay. 1 Ins list ot j p principles is referred to those of j Democrat ie i our fellow citizens who say, as gianee This is from the News and Ob server : Some Democrats are so busy abusing Democrats that they find no time to denounce Republican failure to legislate. This may be good politics in this year of con fusion, but we don't see it that way. If declaiming against the actions of certain socalled Democrats who live-about Raleigh is "abuse", then we plead guilty. We think it about as important these times who are now engaged in a disgrace ful attempt to form an unholy al liance with a set of traitors and deserters from the camps of both the great parties. Had this warning note been sounded five years ago am! had tho men in the Democratic party been called upon to step into the breach thm beginning to manifest itself m the nnrtv councils, and resist to the utmost every attempted en croachment of Populism and so cialism upon Democratic princi ples, ere this our party would have successfully passed through the quagmires of disloyalty and rebel lion, and would now be onco more firmly planted upon the granite- hewn pedestal of principles eternal.

We do not know who "Junius" is, but we wish to thank him through the Observer's able editor for writing that article In a feeble way, as early as 1890, we wrote - some articles for the Lincoln Courier, predicting a third -party, and. calling attention to the Alliance being in politics. We brought; down the Alliance thun. ders on'a- Democratic head then too young to vote. That was our reward. At that time and since that time, we have said that un less the Democratic party in' this state did not preach Democracy instead of Ocalism, the party would sutler. It affords '. us no pleasure that our prophesy has come true, nor do we w.ish to claim that we were wiser than others All we claim is that there has never been a time when we did not fight the Alliance with all our plight.

But it should be remembered that this grand and glorious state of North Carolina has, in its sovereign ca pacity, delegated to Congress power to settle matter like the silver question, hence this state must look'to Congress for a redress f greviances The silver ques tion is a National one, and a good Democrat, a States rights Demo crat, should have scruples' about adhering to the National platform on this question, unless he is get ting ready to "bolt.

When was J. J. Mott. tho erstwhile arch-enemy of "white supremacy' m North ' Carolina, washed in the Democratic pool of purification, I and cleansed of all. his past sins and otreucea against that party which hurled this Satanic majesty Irom the high heavens of political "My ITds and Gentlemen, there was a iwriod in the history of Democracy m Norlh Carolina when no man dared to do these things and call himsulf a Demo crat. There was a time when" par ty erfidy was punished with po litical death, and party fealty re wards! with political honors. It was once so that party honor was held &3 sacred and inviolable as personal integrity, and the man who violated either the one or the other was justly branded a moral leper and banished from within ttie pale, of respectability. But wiih the advent of that ca lamity-howling party vvhoe ranks are tilh-d with political traitors and convention bolters, and whose mis sion is annihilation and repudia tion, party honesty vafnl to Ih a virtue ami demngoguery reached so high premium that it has now become the chiefest qualification of th Intter day statesman. N longer do th ilitical lead ers hi North Carolina rack their brains about what ought to be dene for the good of mankind generally, sine; they continually harra the poor voter in their mad r-ffort to secure "relief for themselves. Instead of being the lenders of public thought and teachers .'.f the people, they have become blind followers ot the blind, ready to be taught by the wayfarer or the fool. provided they are first certain that enough of 'such can found to join in the howl for ''freo silver," "good government, ' "white ?u- I prom. icy," or som other catch-I phrase that will ferve, for the time I lwiiig, lo land them into some of j the iat ollices within the Kitt ol their dupes. The question with them i not what U right, but what do the people want ! In disclos ing the all-absorbing "silver ques tion," the advocates of free coinage based their arguments on Ihe ground Hint "nine-tenth of the people in North Carolina are fur it. Not one of them will dare to al tempt to show to a sane audience d biiejni men that the "craze if realized, would in any way help I he people of the South. Not one of t hem has ever sen uisly at tempted to provt to in how a freo coinage law wotdd add one single dollar to the circulating medium in Norlh Carolina. Where is the self-respecting advocate of the much Moved "white metal tho "dollars ol our daddies' (which their sons never saw until after the crime of 7.), who will take up one of Mr. Carlisle's shh flies, face an intelligent audieuco and attempt to pick a sincle flai ;n his logic or disprove one of his statements of fact? No!
