A Shelby, Neb., Third party organ
exclaims that "fusion is damnation,"
That's what Maryann Butler, Loge
Harris & Co. will think about when
the election returns come rolling in
it they don t discover it sooner, says
the Wilmington
Star.
We call the attention of our rea
ders to a synopsis of the speech de
livered by Gus Graham at Hillsboro
last week in another part of this
paper. It is said to have been the
best speech he has made thus far in
the campaign and was most highly
appreciated by the people of his na
tive county.
Jim Yovmsr, the neerro Ponnlist
Republican nominee for the House
in Wake, is reported to have said re-
cently that "both parties (Reps and
Pops) are going to lay aside their
principles until after the fight, and
then they would pick them up
again
How can honest men sun-
port for office those
they have ''laid aside
who declare
their pridci-
pies?"
Every Democrat and Thirdite
should read carefully the able ad
dress ot Chairman Pou of the
State Executive Committee m an
other column. Rally boys, rally
and let us save North Carolina from
the Republican bummers that want
to fatten and grow sleek upon the
, , . -
people, Dnnging uanicruptcy upon
the btate. liow can any true white
man loin them and help ruin not
only his neighbor, but his countv
and State r
We ask our Third party friends
not to throw their vote away on Dr.
Merritt as he cannot possibly be
elected. Every vote cast for him is
in favor of Settle. You have been
saying a long time you wanted hon
est men in office, and now you have
the opportunity of voting for one in
the person of Gus Graham. Now
"between ine and you" he is your
real friend and deserves your sup
port. Vote for Graham instead of
Merritt and you will never regret it.
The Republican Congressional
campaign managers at Washington
are trying to create the impression
that they will not send any money
into this State to help the Republi
can or Populist candidates. This is
simply a case of deliberate lying
done for the purpose of deceiving
Democrats. Money will be, if it
has not already been sent into North
Carolina, to be used in those districts
where there is any hope of defeat
ing the Democratic candidate, either
with a Republican or Populist,
Do not forgot that Populist Pef
fer, the leading Senator of that gang
of theorisers, dreamers and imprac
ticable?, says the Messenger, advo
cated in the Senate putting the en
tire taxation upon the people's lands
and homes. That is to raise $450,

to be untaxed and the people owning
lands to pay it all. That is
lism. It means ruin.
Popu-
The Dispatch says the South is
pels her in self-defence to show a
solid front to the North. It is not
because all the Southern people hold
exactly the same opinions on the
question of protection to American
industries, or the silver problem, or
the income tax, or any other ques-
tion that divides the people of the
the North, but because, as we have
said, they are forced to stand to-
gether in defence of their rights. It
is a sacred duty that every Southern
man owes to himself to protect his
home and fireside, and hence we urge
every one to turn out on election and
vote the Democratic ticket.
ARE YOU AT WORK ?
Our ticket is in the field and is
composed of some of the best men
in the county, all being farmers ex
cept one. The election is about 4
weeks off and every friend of law
and order should enter the fight at
once as there is much work to do
and little time left. We call on the
good Democrats to go to work. Go
to work now. Organize ! Organize
now. Don't delay. Talk Democracy
to vour neighbors and friends.

SECOND flESSIAH.

ihe Second Messian, .acnuei
Barrett, the great and only dema-
gogue that Vance county is sorely
afflicted with, has been nominated
for the Legislature. In case the
people of Vance are sorely afflicted
with him as a representative and he
should cast his Messiah orbs on the
dial of the clock in the House of
Representatives we wonder if it will
remind him of days gone by when he
was deacon in the church, and of
that yarn he told about the rats go
ing into the clock and literally eat
ing up church money ? We wonder
if his nomination brought on the
miserable weather we have been
afflicted with the past week ? as we
never heard of his coming to our
countT but one time without bring
ing a cyclone or storm, hence we do
not take any stock in John Morgan's
Second Messiah. This great Ora
cle while he has a white skin is in
favor of negro rule as his party has
nominated one Geo. Cheatham, a ne
gro, for' Register of deeds. Is negro
rule to come with the advent of
the Second Messiah ? What do the
true white men say to this? Shades
of eruano save Vance from the
stench ?
WHAT THE REPPOPS WANT.
The following from the Alamance
VV eekly, published at lratiam as a
campaign sheet in the direct inter
est of Mr .Settle, shows conclusively
why every white man should vote the
Democratic Ticket: ''We say to our

Down With tlllSinfamOUS election

It is a disgrace to our State. Our

believe that this is the last campaign
that will be fought in this State on
this; we believe the people in the
coming election will decide to repeal
this law, and when once repealed it
will never be re-enacted."

J. Sam Sharpet the colored editor
of the Wiimington Herald, was in
the city yesterday.
He has been traveling over the
State in the interest of his paper,
and has taken occasion during his
goings to look into the political sit
uation.
Sharpe is intelligent, observant,
conservative, and a straight out
Republican epposed to fusion.
""I suppose, said he yesterday

"Are those chairmen white or
colored?"
"Most of them are colored."
"Why do the colored people dis
like the Populists more than they
do the Democrats?"
"You know we call the Populists,
the Populist fused, negro hating
ticket. It is headed now by the
same crowd that started the White
Man's Republican league in 1888 at
Asheville, namely Pritchard, Skin
ner and Mott. They fought the
nesrro then and will do it now. Ma-

which went for fusion here, there
were four or five white men to one
colored man, It was all cooked up
with utter disregard of the senti
ment of our race.
"In the convention in which
was a delegate in Weldon, on June
28th last, where Cheatham was
nominated, J. F. Dobson tried to
run the machine the same way.
No it won't do, the Populists
are counting without their host, if
they bank on the colored vote for

Mr. Fred Miller, of Irving, 111., writes
that he had a severe kidney trouble for
many years, with severe pains in his back
and also that his bladder was attected. He
tried many so-called kidney cures bui
without any good results. About a year
ago he began use of Electric Hitters and
found relief at once. Electric Bitters is
especially adapted to cure of all kidney
and liver troubles and often gives almost
instant relief. One trial will prove our
statement. Price only 50 cents for large
bottles at J. G. Hall's drug store.
Jim Young Answers It.
The Wilmington Herald published
by J. S. Sharpe, a colored man,
asks this question: How can a ne
gro vote the Populist ticket when
they (the Populists) claim to be pure
Jeffersonian Democrats?
That is a hard question but the
following from the Concord Times
answers it, and it is answered by a
colored man of Raleighr
Jim Young, colored, in his speech
here last Saturday a week ago, said
that the Republicans and Populists
"under the leadership of God him
self," are uniting in one grand effort
to defeat the Democrats this year.
He said (and we hope our friends of
both parties will think on this) that
both parties were going to lay aside
their principles until after the fight
and then they would pick them up
again. Can any right thinking man
vote for a crowd that thus barters
principle for votes?
