FOR REPRESENTATIVE FIFTH DISTRICT, AUGUSTUS W. GRAHAM, OF GRANVILLE. lOR SOLICITOR FIFTH DISTRICT, E. S. PARKER, OF ALAMANCE. That Treasury 'deficit" is now a handsome pile of gold that is in creasing by the shovelful. Cleveland simply1 iterates in his letter what all feel. This country can pay its way; it needs no trust of any kind. This Congress so far has more to its credit than is generally conceded. For one thing, about $30,000,000 has been saved on the appropria tions. An Ohio fanner, who went to hear Coxey make a speech, tied his horse so securely that he couldn't get away. The horse stood the speech about an hour and then dropped dead. "Watchdog1' Holman of Indiana, seems to haye a life tenure on his seat in Congress. He has been re nominated for the loth time. If he should serve out the 15th term he will have served 30 years consec utively. Secretary Morton of the Depart ment of Agriculture is a retrencher with a big U. He has cut down expenses fourteen per cent, and saved $500,000 of the appropriation for the past fiscal year, and run the business considerably better than it was run before. If Ransom and Jar vis choose to cut each other's throats, let it be re membered that the east still has Gen. Win. It. Cox a man whose personal and political escutcheon is without a blot a plain man of the people upon whose judgment and integrity they can always rely. Durham Times. The Populists in Virginia claim 140.000 votes. As claimants before election the Populists are a success, but somehow their voters fail to make connection with the ballot boxes, and the claims don't pan out by a jugful. The Lynchburg NevAS says they will have to scratch grav el to poll 30.000 votes in November, to the 81,320 they polled in 1892. The Durham Sun has given the people of that town the news for six years. It has been wide-awake, and has been a great lever in pushing forward the various enterprises which have sprung up from time to time in that city, and we feel sure will continue to be liberally sus tained. Our congratulations, Broth er Robinson, and may the Sun shine brighter with each succeeding jear. It's noticed that the more the re serve grows in the Treasury the quieter the organs keep about it. It isn't safe to be making big cal culations on a growing crop, for you are never right sure how the esti mates are going to pan out until the crop has been harvested. We were right when we said that Democrats would have to fight the Thirdites as straight Radikils. That party has swallowed the Re publican platform negro and all. After a years' absence that splen did weekly, the Concord Times, pre sided over by the pleasant John Sherrell is on our table again. We find that it has been prosperous and is one of the neatest weeklies in the old North State. Continued suc cess is our wish to Bro. Sherrell. The Morning Herald, a new can didate for public favor, published at Durham, is on our table. This makes three dailies for that pro gressive town, and we wish it the success it may deserve. It strikes us that the newspaper business in Durham is overdone as it now has 4 weeklies and 3 dailes. Populists and Republicans are now one and the same. All differences have been smoothed over, all dis tinctions have been wiped out. The Populists have sold their birth-right, and for a mess of pottage a few paltry offices that they will never get. More than that, all principle has been sacrificed and white su premacy threatened well says the News- & Observer. According to Editor Rosewater, Republican, of the Omaha Bee, the Nebraska Republicans have nomi nated for Governor a man who is "branded as an accessory to forgery and perjury, a falsifier of official records and a falsifier of vouchers, a consorter with boodlers and jobbers and one who as Lieutenant-Governor turned the Capitol of the State into a den of debauchery." The Populist party has become a veritable political cave of Adullam, where every one in distress, every one in debt, every one sore and dis contented can find a political dwel ling place says the News & Observer. The Populist party in North Caro lina is now made up of Republicans, Populists, Prohibitionists, Know Nothings, Knights of Labor, Gid eonites and Alhancemen. This is the compound that has decided to fight out the battle of the Old North State. The Worcester, Mass., Spy pays to this State a just and highly ap preciated compliment when it says that "there is less gush and senti ment and more common sense to the square yard in North Carolina than in any State of Dixie land." If the editor had struck one or two mem bers of the Republican annex he no doubt would have come to the con clusion it was all gush and no brains as that party did not have a man with brains enough in his head to nominate for Supreme Court Judge. The fact of the business is Otho Wilson, Mary Ann Butler and the other leaders have lead the Populists squarely into the Republican camp and all hands are sitting down to a big dish of political hash. It is a lovely sight to see the Populist and and Republican leaders hob-nobbing together. Both are rolling in the same baby carriage and sucking milk out of the same bottle, What think our Populist friends, who are Populists for principle, of the scene and the situation? chimes in the Durham Sun. We call upon every man who loves his State and good govern ment, now that it is apparent to all that the defeat of the Democratic party means a return to negro su premacy, to come back home to the Democratic fold and let us once more present a solid front to the eommon enemy, says the News & Obseryer. We believe all honest and patriotic men in the Populist party, now that the true design and -purpose of that organization is seen, will forsake it as a thing infected and despise the designing men who have thus betrayed them. The Democrats of Mecklenburg county honored a most worthy ex ponent of Democratic principles when they nominated W, C. Dowd, ejditor of the Macklenburg Times for the Senate. He is young and vig orous and will represent his people well and faithfully. The Chatham Record is "sweet sixteen," but friend London still retains his side whiskers, that are so becoming to him, and are synom ymous with the Record's splendid career in the cause of the Democrat ic party. May the Record live six teen years longer to battle for the upbuilding of old Chatham. Among the Congressmen who shirked the duty of voting upon the various roll calls taken during the consideration of the tariff bill in the House of Representatives, the name of Mr. Settle is prominent. He dodged two hundred and fifty six roll calls. The Honorable Con gressman from the Fifth North Carolina district has not proven him self a careful or dilligent legislator. But he has distinguished himself as a dodger and an absentee. The State of North Carolina can safely dis pense with the services of such Rep resentatives. The country editor is one who reads newspapers, writes on any sub ject,'sticks type, folds papers, makes up the mail, runs errands, saws wood, works in the garden, is blamed for a thousand things he never thought of, works hard all day, is subject to spring fever, helps people into office who forget all about it afterward, and frequently gets cheat ed out of his earnings. He puffs up and does more to build up the town and country than any one else, and miser and fogy are benefitted, yet they will not take his paper, but will borrow it. Right you are Robinson. The Populists seem to be hunting for freaks to nominate for Congress this year. In the twenty-fifth Penn sylvania district they have nomina ted a magician who is also a ventril oquist and can doubtless also con verse through his hat." If he mixes his tricks with his oratory he will probably draw on the stump. He has a family of boys who have been organized into a brass band to furnish music for the old man's cam paign. On the whole, the Kirker combination (Kirker is his name) is not to be sneezed at. It is not often that the Populists can get a magician, a ventriloquist and a brass band all at one clip. The Republicans have two candi dates for Congress in the Second district, each claiming to be the le gitimate nominee. These are ex Congressman Cheatham and Solici tor White, both colored. A mem ber of the National Republican committee, Mr. Graves, has just been to Weldon trying to get one of them out of the field. White agreed that if Cheatham would re tire in favor of a third man he would do the same. This Cheat ham refuses to do and it new looks like both of them will hold on the end of the chapter. It is under stood, however, that the National committee will make a thorough in vestigation of the matter. Remember, that if you will drink, you should always drink "the purest liquors, and R. Broughton'a is just the place to got it. jiy27 tC If the bargain is carried out be tween the Reps and Pops we shall see Populists, who claim to be the only genuine Democrats now the "Jefferson Democrats," they call themselves voting for Judges Fair cloth and Furches, in whose nostrils the name of Jefferson is a stench, as against Judges MacRae and Bur well, who are something of Jefferso nian Democrats themselves this in the interest of a "non-partisan judi ciary." We know little of Judge Faircloth, but "non-partisan" is a word with a strange ring when used in connection with Judge Furches. He is a partisan from the ground up, and, candidate though he is, he would scorn to deny it. He is a Re publican from far-back, a Republi can fighter, too, who hates a Demo crat and despises a Populist with equal cordiality. Charlotte Observer. PRATING OF PRINCIPLE WHILE SELLIlVU IT. News and rjbserver. In his speech in the Republican convention on Saturday, S. Otho Wilson, ring leader of the Gideon ites, made this high-sounding decla ration to the" assembled Republican party : "If there is to be any sacrifice of principle on your part, we don't want jou; if there is going to be any sacrifice of principle on our part then we don't want to join you." What are the professed principles of the Populist party? That is, what were the professed principles when the party was organized, not giving heed to the changes daily made in the principles of tip's kalei doscopic party? If our memory serves us right these professed prin ciples were: 1. Eternal hostility to John Sher man, National banks, Wall street, and the money power. 2. Opposition to the legislation that has cursed the country since 1805, alleging that this sectional legislation had been the ruin of the farmers, and opposition to extrava gant appropriations. 3. Advocacy of the Sub-treasury as the great and only remedy, If the Populist party had any con victions they were embraced in these three statements. Speaking day and night for more money and against the bad legislation of the past thirty years they went into the campaign, and disgusted Republicans in the West joined the new party as a pro test against Republican rule. In the South some who had acted with the Democrats joined the new party in the hope of completely wiping out sectional and unjust legislation. In the last campaign the Pops abused Republicans without mercy and de nounced Northern Democrats. Their principles confined them to talking "finance." What are the principles of the Republican party as evidenced by their acts? 1. A contracted currency, with silver completely demonetized or de graded, and a single gold standard, with John Sherman as the ideal fi nancier. 2. Defense of national banks, the gold single standard, piotective tar iffs, trusts and liberal (extravagant) appropriations. 3. Opposition to State banks and all other plans for increasing the amount of money in circulation. If ever there were two parties that had no declared principles in com mon it is the Populist and the Re publican parties. They represent diametrically opposite theories. What the Republicans have done and rejoice in the Populists denounce and declare utterly wicked and de structive. The Democrats, believe, and the Populists pretend to believe, that all taxation ought to be levied only for public purposes; that there ought to be a better financial system; that economy ought to replace extrava gance; that the people and. aot the trusts ought to levy taxation. ITpon these vital points, which are opposed to Republican rule and practice, the Democrats and Populists agree, or rather the Populists pretend to be lieve in these Democratic principles. But "actions speak louder than words." The Populists pretend to believe in these things and forth with fuse with a party that doesn't even pretend to believe in a single creed of their party. There is not an honest man ia North Carolina who believes there is any adherence to principle in the Republican-Populist fusion, and when Gideon Wilson talks of "'prin ciple" he speaks of something about which he is utterly ignorant. A Populist who supports a Republican gets down in the dirt and confess that he has repudiated his principles. A Republican who supports a Pop ulist does the same thing. If these fellows want to combine to elect themselves to office, let them do it. But for the sake of decency they ought not to prate of principle in the very act of betraying princi ple. James Russell Lowell well ex pressed the motives that control Gideon Wilson in "Bigelow papers:" "It's not by principles nor men My onward course is steadied. I scents what pays the best And goes for it baldhcaded." THROW IX AWAY.
