i #enator Marion Butler, chairman o

j issued an address to all opposed to the
single geld standard "to cooperate
with us" (the populists) to give the
11 eleetorl votes of the state to a
free coinage candidate for the l*ren
lencv, but they are not ready to ac
cept Senator Butler's invitation i o
l''v.alk into my jvirlor". They hav<
not forgotten that this same Senatoi
Butler but recently .led his forces to
assist the republican party, which de
monetized silver and is the author ci
=ill the financial laws which have the
power to be so irksome and hurtful
After analyzing the vote by which
the free coinage substitute for the
Bond bill passed the Senate?the vote
was 42 to 34?the Asheville Citizen
(onlcudcs that "a 'gold bug* demo
crat cannot be elected in this year o
??race, 3896 on a platform that strad
dles the financial question nor on a
p'atform that only purports to be foi
fre? silver". There arc good reason-*
for believing in the correctness of the
Citizen's conclusion besides the vote
in the Senate, and it appears to be fu.*
ther certain that a large majority of
the democratic voters are in favor of
[the restoration of silver. This being
.conceded, why should there beany
doubt as to what the Chicago Conven
tion will do about it? If the democ
racy Of North Carolina is for free
coinage let the voters say so in their
choice of delegates pledged to carry
out their views in the Convention.,
Let the majority rule.

It must have been a rude shock to
the purists and pedants who think t hat
good English is spoken only in Eng

fessor of phonetics in the University

is just as permissible as "bean," and
that al] our other "Americanisms,"
so long as they are intelligible, are ?a
