The Star is tho oldest daily paper in tho State. There is not a thing in the world wrong with the Star except ir. is for free silver. Hut .for all' .that, we wish its editor good luck, hoping h may some day come around all riyht on that question, too. The Caucasian calls Senator Pntchard a "straddle bug,' in its jast yckV issue 1'riichard will not consent, to sacrilice his liepub hcanism for silver. This ia a sin in Hutlers (-ye, and he proceeds .to tay so.- Wonder how a Populist must tVel who voted for Pntchard, now that i'rftchard will not do 'goldbng5- mean and lowdown of course. The Mercury takes' occasion to say that the editor of the Democrat does not know much and the like. . Hut however that may be, we call the attention of tho Mercury to'the fact that one charge can never be disproved by another. And as for sense, we are proud to say wo have j not any of the kind that is found in the Mercury office. Hut that ie no matter. We only wished to say a few words about the charge which tho Mercury makes as to our having distributed "bogus" tickets at the late election in order to de ceive the ignorant voters. The ed itor of this paper showed some people at Conover tickets with only Republican names on them and tickets with only Populist names on them. In other words straight Republican tickets ami mtraight Populist tickets were to be had at Conover nreciuct, and . ri-jht diii-clii'ii uivi wt in-mii a big: P.iitiiht vi.Morv, I-cj:u.' tin si.u-t tiwtii f -i t r- silver law vvjtl stabii.nh tin P.pu ii t prmiph f ihit nioiifV. 1 1 wi'ipro' what th VpiiiiU havt l.et-i nviog Ml-' along, naii'.e'v :' that it i - tlivlm I hut male uiunev. and lb t nioii ey'ia simply u rnlurc f Inw.

Its editor was "so sorry' when he heard of Hie action oi' the Alliance that we have wondered why he has not al ready taken Hie step suggested. It i? wicked, very wicked, for that William Street Reform Club to send out "free literature' ad vocating sound monov ! But it is perfectly angelic for the 10 to lers to scatter Tillman's speech over the country, or for the Coucasian' to make a dim olFer and have "the fait-hfnl" to send out cheap copies of that sheet to their Democratic friends who are "perishing'' for .sOme information on the silver question 1 , ao so them. These tickets were not 'lio :us,M nor were they there to de ceive. As to whether there were 'bogus'" tickets at that product box, we do not know. Hut one thing we do know. If we had had 1 X 1 A Tl 11 any sucn urKeig, no l opunsi or Republican would have been shown them and have tound it out in th manner above described. We had no tickets v. it h. wrong initials or "wrong distru-t. on them and the like, as r-ome Populist J have slid. The very id'ja of a sensible man exhibiting ?uch so-calied ''bosuK tickets to eopieho could read and write and were sensible en- i onorh to be election workprs i simply too foolish to consider. Hut it was not rive minutes after the incident wh mentioned, until ome Populists charged that we iiad "brgu-;"' tickets and the like. The only bogus" tickets we ever heard of in 1604, we -heard ot through some Conover Populist on lection day. Now the .Mercury talks about "bogus" tickets in re ply to a charge concerning the Alliance. The Mercurv knows when it insinuates this charge that it is telling what is untrue. The tact that any mn in Catawba is an uncompromising Democrat is sufficient ground tor the Mercurv I to abuse him in its usual lowdown manner. We would remind the Mercury again that it claims to be a religious paper and should try to practice telling the truth. , The-, Vestibule of last week res urrects. Walter it. Henry's "scrap book'" f testimonials he got while he was yet a Democrat and pub lished them for the edification ot all those who are inclined to think Henry is not the greatest man in North Carolina. It, ought to pub lish President's Cleveland's opin ion along with the ethers in order that both sides have a hearing. They do say .that Mr. Cleveland was "meap enough" not to take stock in Henryv We do not know whether we' ought to mention the fact or not, but we are constrained to remind the News and Observer and the Charlotte News that lor all the lit tle ''gold bug" sheets, tho Central Committee of the Democratic par ty found the house in much better order than they expected to find it, when they met at Kaleigli the other day. We congratulate our selver that the old ship is still a- float and that the skies are bright ening. Now, just please do for goodness sake quit talking about "gold bugs" causing division in the party. We -entreat you. Now do! In a ifiXENT issue of the Char lotte Observer, Mr. L. C. Caldwell, Of Statesville, quotes Cromwell's words uttered over the dead body ot Charles I. and says that he is a silver man of the bolting kind. The words of Cromwell are as fol lows : "Thy people brook not fealty, till 'twix their cause and thine, i They sword had drawn the deep, distressing line." ,ur lis manlv FOR FIAT MONEY. That Populists will not advocate treesilver any great length of time is evident. The tree coinage of silver is only an issue now for the want of ''something better,"which better thing is irredeemable paper money. Hut a free coinage law under present conditions would establish the Populist contention that it is the force of law which makes money, owing b tin fact that o5 cents is to le mad 1(K1 cents bv statute. Hut hear the reason statement, fhe Caucasian, of las! week, says : The Republican party lias de serted the principles of Lincoln and Hlaine. In -1MI4. James (I. Blaine, in a speech at Skowegnn, Me., pulled a paper dollar out of his pocket and asked his audience: "What is this? A dollar. Audit is a good dollar good for the farmer, the mechanic, the mer chant, and everybody. What makes it a gocd dollar? Because every dollar's worth of proiertv in the United States is behind it and the lite's blood of evory true and loyal citizen is behind it, and that makes it a good dollar." And again : Under that policy the country was prosperous and the People-' s Party is to-day fightinc for a re turn to the same good conditions. That was tho policy of issuincr greenbacks. The Populists in Con- jgress have introduced bills with out end, winding up by appropri ating an issue of legal tender treasury notes to carry out the provisions contained in their bills. Coxev's crowd also favored issuing one billion fiat dollars to make THE DUTY OF DEMOCRATS. We again call attention to th f;:ct that Democrats ought to re main true to their principles this year. 1 It is time to stop courting the favor of the Populists and half hearted Democrats. Let us utjree that, howewr much we may differ on the silver question, we shall be united in redeeming the State this venr. Let us all reminb-r that the principles of the Democratic party are dearer than the holding of. office. We must not run off after tree silver, forgetting that the position of the party on taxa tion, individual liberty, pensious, and the like is not important. It those who would be leaders now be men who put principles alwve mere party success. Tli3 thing that has been our undoing is a lack of faith m our doctrines. Let this cam paign bo fought on the old isues, not on fads and isms. SucceS6 is sure in the end. The nrinciples of the Democratic party will pre vail, if this government is to re main a Republic. Let us be faith ful to our history and our princi ples. It individual preference? oe subjected to the will of the pr ty. Let the people understand that Democrats are thoee who have th courace of their convictions Let nothing be promised lor the purpose of tickling the fancy of any man or net of men. It us agree that we will formulate a platform of sound money princi ples and omnly pledg. onrst lvea lo carry out that platform, it we win nt i he poll. Such a course and will command re spvt. L t jM.hov and surrender tiud on place in any Democrat' heart thi year The old issues must lx re-allirmed and t'ie plat form livfd tin to. Such a policy is beiind to win. of Maryland. Maj.
