The Charlotte Observer is an extreme advocate bf the gold standard, favors trusts and com bines, and is in favor. of return ing boards and bull-pens at elec tions. The Caucasian set out against this position and gainedmuch in fluence over honest people. The News and " Observer, the political scavenger which has for some months . past engaged -in cleaning up the back yaVds of al parties except its own, has now assumed the task of bringing these two extremes together, and has at last found corhrrfon grounds upon wrnicn all their respective following are supposed to be able to' stand, that is, opposition to a free ballot and a fair count, and to the right of local self-govern ment. ? ; ; The Charlotte Observer is opr posed to the poor people's voting because it interferes with1 the money power. " The JVczvs and Observer op--poses the right of the uneducated white men voting, because' the United States Constitution re quires the same privilege for the negro, and so long as these ele ments have the right of the ballot there is little hope, of getting the much-coveted offices. 1 While the Caucasian. xin down . 1 at the heel, having squandered all its influence ; with its people,' and haying everything to gain and nothing, to lose, says " me your most joyal and gracious , party; for the.following reasons' and for the following purposes : We most, humbly confess our errors and sins political in ever" having left tlie dear ; oil party, and professing an .allegiance to any other political party.
