be disfranchised even should the
5th clause stand, and no man who
prize his reputation as an atty can
truthfully say that this amend
ment is not intended to take away
rights guaranteed uuder the consti
tution of the United States. Leav
ing this phase of -the question, and
going on down to the next, wo find
that the policies of all great par
ties are knocked in to a cocked
hat. because those policies are bs
ed upon the idea of the betterment
of the people, the increase of
wealth, the mating of dollars
therefore any party .which has in
its plat form a plank which appeals
to the love of nioney, one of the
chief instincts of the hum anheart
according to the contention deser
ves to be repudiated by the people
because the Bible says "money is
the root of all evil."
Now lets analize alittle further.
The Truth. Index is an admirer of
Mr. Bryan and favors his election,
wh? Because he believes in f.kee
silver and free silver will make
more money, and more money will
make better prices, and belter pri
ces will give us more money, and
to want .more monye and to want
higher prices for what we sell is
an "appeal to the lowest meanest
instincts" of our fallen corrupt na
ture" therefore to favor Mr. Bryan
and his policies i according to the
Truth Index, all wrong, because of
the appeal to the lowest instincts
of our nature. The argument cf
our contemporary puts i;,- in a
boat between the devil and the
deep blue sea., without a hope for
the betterment of mankind. The
Democratic parly as a party
ds for liberty and self govern -
it ami sympathizes with ah
ieeveiy-wlere, who are strug-
g for the attainment ct tnese.
lemocrats think that others
jean inalienable right to what
demand themselves, vv e re-
i to belong; to a party the vast
fcriiy of which applies the sn- j policy of the party which holds out
eruleol ethics to tuis que-j M: i,,rli.t for th
betterment of the great masses of
the people, and which we can re
ly upon from past experience, is
the party which all persons,
who desire to sec prosperity con

ami entertain tne principal:

The Republicans of Davie coun
ty in convention do resolve.
1st. We point with pride to
the administration of Presideut
AleKinley for the tulltilLjient of its
pledges to the people which
has brought prosperity t.i our en
tire country. YV heartly indorse
the foreign polici of the govern
meut in its intention of th-j terri
tory brought to U3 through, the
bravery of our sohliers in the 1-te
war. While we d. plore war, yet
we believe in standing by and up-
to.8mile all over this great country ! holding our government in its ed'
of jars. Such a Party is tlie Re
pubii'.'au party, and the pe;pie
can see and feel without being toid
that brains, are in control at Wash
ington, and not idle dreams; not
visionary rain-bo y chasers, but
men who love their country, and
desire and labor for its upbuilding
and for its present sad future prosperity.

oris to restore order and establish
a stable government for Island pos
sessions. We believe that the fu
ture prosperity of our country de
pends in a great measure on for
eign commerce, especially with the
orient and we endorse every e'l rt
made by oar government to in
crease and develop our foreign
trade, thereby insuring a bsller
market and higher prices for our
products a.id manufactures, an!
the enhanceiueut of the price ot
labor.
2nd. Yre endorse the patriotic
devotion to the people, of Senator
J. C. Pritchard and o;ir represen-
j t;,tive Hon. R. . Z. L nuey. They (

Perfidy.
A 10-cent editor and politician
wants to know of the Populists
who are criticising the Democrats
tor turning Mebane down why the
Populist convention did not nomi
nate Mebane. The Populist would
have been foolish to nominate him
after he had permitted designing
Goebelities to "do him" by getting
him to write a letter and de-dare
that henceforth (in order to get
the Demos rati e nomination die
was no longer an independent, and
would not allow his name used by
any convention except the Demo
eratie convention, While Mr.
Mebane has made a splendid ofli
cer he is not a politician and did'
nt understand the trap until be
was led into it. Poor Mebane! We
feel sorry for him, Ue was tem
pted by the Democratic machine
and, and he fell. Our Home
Paper.
The treatment accorded Supt.
Mebane at the Democratic conven
tiou at Raleigh was the consumma
tion of a dishonerable and disrep.
ulable scheme, if the truth eoul d
be known no doubt Mebane was !
feared by the machine as au oppo-
aiton candidate, and this trap wad
set to get rid of him, and he walk
ed in and lost. In 1;08 a trap
was set for the independent voter,
and promises and pledges and afil
davits were made to convince
them that no disfranchising scheme
would be resorted to by the Demo
crats. Behold the resu'.i. The
picture is bsfoie you, do you like

T .e calf rope has been called for,
and unless relief is immediately
given our friends, the enemy will
go down in ignonimoss defeat. The
leaven is working, the people are
being aroused, they have caught
on to Mr. Simmons designs, and
money is not going to purchase
the birth right of citizenship in
North Carolina. The Democratic
party led by designing men has
plotted to oi erth row popular gov
eminent ia tn's State, they prom
ised and pledged themselves to not
interfere with the franchise if el
ected in 1803- What have they
done" They have placed upon
the statute, book one of the most
unfair, yes, one of the m:st infa
rarjs election laws ever enacted by
a free, liberty loving people. They
did .-not stop there, but have sub
mitted and amendment to the con
stitution .which, will deny o every
man to poor to pay his poll tax
his right to voe, and should the
courts Bbt aside the oth section o:
the amend meni and leave tho. re
mainder standing, every white man
wbo cannot read and write will
have cast his last vote. The peo
ple who are able to contribute
money for legitimate campaign
purposes, are going to be slow to

liberties and rights ot their less
fortiin&tc friends and neighbors.

to deprive a large miaiber of the
citizens ot t -eir rights and liber
ties after most- solemn pledges and
prorsrises made during the cam
