z THE PROGRESSIVE OCTOBER 18. 1892 "A J" ' DEATHS. QUESTION. Mr Editor: I notice in your last issue you say that the National Demo cratic Executive Committee had an nounced that in v two or three States the Cleveland electoral ticket had been withdrawn, and the said committee advised that the Weaver electoral ticket be voted for by Cleveland Democrats. I wish you would furnish us with the proof. You say further that in Idaho the Democrats have taken down their Cleveland ticket and will vote for Weaver and this example will be followed by other States. Please let U3 know how these things appear. Answer: By reference to an edito rial headed " Goo i news from the West," "X " will see the number is greater than we stated last week. The pres3 dispatches gave -he first informa tion, later on a telegram from Chair man Taubeneck, of the National Peo pie's party committee, verified the news. Elsewhere will be found good news from other localities. Ed ON THE SLY. From the Hayseeder. The following is a copy of a type .written letter sent out to the chairmen of the several county Democratic com mittees and intended for their confi dential use. There was by chance more than one of the chairmen who thought this legal opinion should be given all voters alike and hence it has come to light: T Raleigh, N. C, Sept. 23, 1892. Sir: I call your attention to the ac companying letter of Attorney General Davidson: The registrars must open their books and give proper notice of so doinz on the 29tlrday of September, and close them at 12 o'clock noon on Saturday, 29 th day of Gctober. According to a recent decision of the Supreme Court, it is the duty of the registrar to read to each elector before he registers the enquiries at head of each column of the registration book, and he may record the voter's answer in the words in which he gives it or he miy make the voter correct his an swer, or give his statement more specifically. The act is declared mandatory in the : opinion referred to (Harris vs. Scar boro 110 N. C. Reports) and therefore the registration is unlawful if the elec tor fails to state "his age, occupation, place of birh and place of residence of the elector, as well as the township or county from whence the elector has removed, in the event of a removal, and the full (christian and siir) name by which the voter is known." In answer to the three questions, viz : Place of residence, plac3 of birth, and place from which voter has re moved, in case of removal, the court holds that it is not sufficient to enter simply the name of the State, but the name of the county at least must be entered. Where the registrar failed two years ago to enter the ' age, occu pation, place of birth and place of resi dence of an elector as well as the town ship or county whence the electorxhas removed, and the full name by which the voter is known." The elector still has the privilege of filling any blank or correcting any mistake. I deem it unnecessary to call your attention to the importance of seeing that every Democrat is properly regis tered, and all registered two year3 ago who were not properly registered to have the necessary corrections in such registrations made . You will please notify each registrar of your county promptly not only of the day of opening aud hour of closing the registration books, but take early occasion to see each one personally and give him full instructions as to his duty. No more important duty devolves upon you in this campaign. This is a confidential communication and only intended to be special instructions for your guidance. Yours truly, (Signed) F. M. Simmons, Chm'n. bee tnac your name is on as per above. Ed JOINT DISCUSSION.AT FAYETTE- VILLE BETWEEN BUT .LER AND GLENN. Tj A TIKIHfHW T fTT T Til "rVT with the wrong done and the evils existing, without; abusing either of the other candidates. He then took up Weaver and showed his true record; he showed that there had not lived a man who had shown greater courage for his conviction or greater devotion to principle. He showed that the prin ciples he advocated were to the inter est of the wealth producer, laborer and men in all honest callings. North, South and everywhere. He showed that there lived to day no truer friend and greater champion of the people s rights than Gen. Jas. B. Weaver. Mr. Butler's speech was one of the fin st efforts we nave ever heard, and despite the lying reports of the daily papers, we state the cold, unvarnished truth when we say that Glenn is no match for him in debase. Votes were made for the People's party and we will carry Cumberland county. Mark it. If Mr. Butler could make that speech to all the voters of North Carolina, there would be no doubt about reform sweeping the State. Yours for reform, J. A FEW SUGGESTIONS. Oct. 10. Mr. Editor: On last Friday from 1.500 to 2.000 people met here to hear Butler and Glenn discuss the great issues in this campaign. I had been seeing from the partisan papers that Glenn had been getting the better of the discussion, and felt a little uneasy. as I am an enthus iastic People's party man. Glenn led in the discussion. He is a man of fine address, and a fluent and impressive talker. vWhen he finished I was still afraid that Butler was not a match for him. Butler arose to reply. He looked a little pale and worn and had a serious and determined expression (I afterwards learned that he had just received a telegram from Clinton stating that his newspaper office. The Caucasian, and every thing he owned was that morning destroyed by fire, and that he had no insurance.) The large crowd got vry' quiet. But ler began in a slow impressive man ner. In five minutes he warmed up to "the combat and had captured his audi ence. In ten minutes he had convinced the whole audience, Democrats as well as People's partymen, that he was more than a match for his competitor. For an hour and a half he ; grew more ear nest and eloquent with each sentence. He took hold of his audience and car ried them with him, with his hum ming words of truth and sledge ham mer logic and facts, never using a joke nor stopping for pent-up applause The ettect upon the audience was wonder- lui. tie pictured the condition of te country, showed how it had come from bad laws - he dissected the platforms of the two old parties," showing that neither offered the peopla the relief and justice which :the peopla n; : led, de manded and would vote for. He held up the Omaha platform and showed the reme lies it offered ccrr.rr.ensurate $132,000 Saved to the People of the State Without Destroying the Efficiency of Anything. When Mr. Marion Butler called the late People's party State Convention to order, he said that as we have alreidy had our campaign of educa tion, it is now time for action. We have been talking a long time about reforms, and now it is soon going to b 3 time for action. We will enumerate some of the reforms which in our opin ion the next legislature should adopt. Withdraw $14,000 of the appropria tion to the State militia. This will leave one thousand dollars for this purpose, which is enough to provide all the Tsoldiers the governor will need for a body guard, and at the same time protect the great interests of the State under any emergency. This $15,0C0 appropriation is now mainly spent in giving several hundrd parties a summering at Wrightsville. Re formers let U3 stop this. 2. Abolish the office of Commissioner of Labor, and save the tax payers $2,800 a year. The necessity for its continuance do93 not seem to exist. Wipe it out. ' 3 Let the State Printing to some good job house at less than .fifteen per cent, of the present contract, and leave $3 500 in the State Treasury which now goes into the pocket of one individual wno does nothing at all with the print ing, it can be done. 4. -Close up the avenue by which at torneys are employed to assist the At torney General at fees that would make your mouth water, and save the State three thousand dollars a year. Put a stop to it. 5., Discontinue the ten thousand dol lars for a pretended Geological Survey. Wipe it out. The average tax oaver in this State" will nevep-be benefited by this legislation. 6. Tne last Legislature passed a bill increasing the salaries of all the judges and solicitors ?z0 tor iurnishmg them transportation in lieu of passes. This was a very poor way to meet the case. Our judges and solicitors are employed at so much salary alone, not so much salary plus passes, or $250. If any man 'does not care to have the office for the original salary, he need n,t apply. We can get men who need not to be paid for-keeping passes out of their pockets. Ary man who runs for a place of this kind, knowing that the sentiments of the people are against the use of passes, and then accepts one, forfeits the respect of the people, and should resign of his accord. It will save the tax-payers $7, 500 a year. Let us do away with it. Nobody will be hurt. 7. When Colonel Saunders agreed to compile the Colonial Records, the Leg islature gave him during that time an extra clerk. The Colonial Records have been completed, but the clerk ship still goes - on. Stop it. Save $1,000. 8. Do as they have done in South Carolina, abolish the Agricultural De partment at Raleigh, und put it under the roof of the Agricultural and $Ie chanical College as one of the depart ments of , that institution, thus enlarg ing the powers of the school. Jt will help the boy 4 who go there ; it will give the institution more money, at the same tune saving the State not less than $15,000. There is no doubt about the State needing an agricultural department,, but since the creation of the A. & M. College everybody will admit that it is the proper Dlace for it. Let us put it there, even if we have to move the old building to the A. & M. College. 9. Sell the Governor's . Mansion, "Jarvis' folly," which has already cost the taxpayers nearly $100,000. Put $75,000 of the funds back into the treasury and with the balance of the funds purchase a mansion suitable to to the salary the Governor receives from the State. Special Infor mer. MR. LONG DECLINES. Bad Health Compels Him Canrass. to Quit the vocal chords and nervous prostration, caused by canvassing. I jeopardize my life every speech I make, and find that it requires two or three days rest for recuperation before l exn. go ahead. This will not do. for this canvass, as there is too much at stake. Duty and regard for our cause indicates that this is the course for me to pursue. The very earliest day my place can be filled will suit me best. Let no leader of either of the old par ties lay 'the flattering unction to his soul that this course pursued by me is in any way an indication that I am wavering in the least degree. Never, never. I will support, defend, advo cate and vote for every candidate brought out by the People's party with all .the power I have, be it great or small. In conclusion let me say this to our friends in the State. If we do not carry North Carolina in November it will be our own fault. ' Stand together, .vote as a unit and remember we are the great breakwater between the money power and slavery of the poor whites of our country. I am preparing a let ter to the people of the State, which ... 1 -til will appear soon, and wiuciose Dy ask ing that the Executive Committee will act in the matter as to my successor at as early a date as possible. I am your obd't servant, Thomas B. Long. '. GOOD NEWS. The returns from Kansas (from the poll) indicate a People's party victory of 60,000. A canvass of Idaho had been made, and the result is a majority of over 4,000 populists. . A canvass of Colorado has been com pleted and shows a majority of 19,000 tor Gen. Weaver. The Republicans have withdrawn their electoral ticket in Wyoming No show for 'em. Hon. John Madden, elector on the Harrison ticket in Kansas four years ago, comes out squarely for Weaver and Field. Judge Reid not rat of the State of Washington, is one the latest re cuits to the great army of populist. There are six People's party clubs, of workingmen, in Rochester, N. Y. A Workingmans Political Association has also been organized and doing effi cient work. Gov. Pennoyer of Oregon, Buchan- nan of Tennessee, and Toole of Mon tana are People's party men, and were all converted after they were elected, theirs was n death bed repentance Clark Wheeler, editor of the Aspen, (Col ) Daily Times and delegate to the Minneapolis National Republican Con vention, has asserted his manhood and come into the ranks of calamity squelchers. The New York People's party Com mittee are having great success with what they call truck meetings.' One truck load of speakers was re cently arrested, but the men were re leased, as it was found they had" fa, right to hold out door meetings with out a permit. .
