Stand by Your Principles.
The Populists are not the only
free silverites who are ready to join
hands with the Democrats, it is to be
hoped. Mr. Bryan says on this point:
"The American people proved equal
to evsry emergency which has arisen
in the past, and I am confident that
in the present emergency there will
be no'antagonism between the vari

Are You Willing?
The office seekers in .the Popu
list party are hard at work, traveling

the white men of Granville willing

THE DEMOCRAT, SOCALLED.
It appeared in Oxford Saturday Dis
tribued free Around Town.
The first issue of the above paper
at this place appeared on Satur
day, with our old friend Col.
J. C. Tipton as editor. It warmly
supports Palmer and Buckner, not
of course with any hope of securing
the election of these gentlemen, but
in order to inculcate and perpetuate
principles of Democracy (socalled).
The issue discusses politics at con
siderable length. The Democratic
party, the People's party and the Sil
ver party are roundly scored. Their
candidate is ridiculed, his followers
sneered at and their principles con
demned. This is all well enough if
the Democracy (socalled) is opposed
to them. But wonderful to relate,
nowhere is the Republican party or
its candidate adversely commented
on. lhe editor has not round it in
his heart to even give a passing slap
to this great champion of the trusts.
Can it be that the editor does not
think the Republican party is a fac
tor in this election? Does he really
think it cuts such a poor figure that
it does not even demand a passing
remark? If there is any comment
on this great party we have been
unable to find it except by reading
between the lines.
We find no word condemning
trusts; no word against monopoly;
no word against bond issues; no word
in favor of an income tax; and no
word in favor of protection of labor
against capital. Could the Demo
crat (so named) not find it in its
heart to say one word for the people
on these subjects. Alas! " Where
your treasure is there will your heart
be also."
The fact that this paper is publish
ed in Oxford is no evidence that Ox
ford and Granville county is a hot
bed of gold bugism, as we verily be
lieve that their ticket will not re
ceive one dozen votes in the county.
flajor Guthrie Wants Kitchin Elected.
SatuTdav night Major Guthrie,
candidate for Governor on the Pop
ulist ticket, advised the people to
vote for W. W. Kitchin for Congress.
The Durham Sun says:
After talking for sometime, the
speaker said, 4If the Republican
partv had been true, 1 would be with
it today. I am glad to see that the
Democrats and Populists of this
county have come together. Are
you going to vote in this contest to
destroy your own rights, etc. Put
honest men in office and you will
have prosperity. People have been
betrayed by the leaders. 1 want all
of us to get a little religion iu this"
campaign and get back together
again.
'The toilers on the farms want
more money. Taxes don't get any
less. The national debt is as big to
day or bigger than it was the day
Lee surrendered.
"A man cannot love his country
when he is oppressed. He cannot
love a government that oppresses
him.
"I do not intend to yote for any
President unless I think he is a pa
triot, etc.
"Let us elect Bryan. Liet us send
to Congress from the Fifth district,
W. W. Kitchin, and let us say to
Settle, 'you stay at home.' If I be
lieved Dalby could be elected, I
would give him my vote. As a vote
for him means a vote for Settle, I
adyise all my friends to vote for
Kitchin. Don't stultify yourselves
by voting for a free silver President,
and then tie his hands by votiug for
a gold bug Congressman."
Strange But True.
We are sorry to see Mr. J. M. Cur-
rin has left the party of his fathers
and joined himself unto strange
gods. Mr. Currin has for years been
a leader among the Democrats of
this county and was at one time
Chairman of the County Lxecutive
Committee. He has hitherto been in
close touch with the people and been
universally liked and respected. But
for several years past he has been
the trusted representative on this
market of the American Tobacco
Company that great trust that has
gone deeper into the pockets of the
farmers of Granville than all the
other trusts combined. Now he pub
licly states he proposes to vote for
McKinley and Settle, which of course
he has a perfect right to do, but in
our humble judgment by such action
he turns his back upon the masses of
our people.
As editor of the Public Ledger
we are truly sorry of this, and be
lit ye sooner or later he will see the
error of his action.
Good Breaks.
Oxford warehouses enjoyed good
breaks of tobacco Friday, with the
Minor leading in quanitity. The
prices are still low, and seem "to
get lower" so says the farmers, al
most equal to giving it away. But
still it is as high on the Oxford
market as any other, as the Ameri
can Tobacco Company controls them
all.
After meals you should have simply a
feeling of comfort and satisfaction You
should not feel any special indications that
digestion is go;ng on. If you do you have
indigestion, which means not-digestion.
This may be the beginning of so many
dangerous diseases, that it is best to take it
in hand at once and treat it with Shaker
Digestive Cordial. For you know that indi
gestion makes poison, which causes pain
and sickness And that Shaker Digestive
Cordial he ps digestion and cures indiges'
tion. Shaker Digestive Cordial does this
by providing the digestive materials in
which the sick stomach is wanting. It also
tones up and strengthens the digestive or
gans and makes them perfectly healthy.
This is the rationale of its method ofrcure,
as the doctors would say. Sold by drug'
i gists, f rice 10 cents to $i per bottle.
AFTER SETTLE.
The Colored Brother Wants to Know
Where He Comes In.
In these days of great political ex
citement it is sometimes difficult to
get at the exact truth of what is going
on, but here is a story that comes
pretty straight.
A crowd of influential colored
voters called on B. C. Sharpe the
other night and wanted to know how
Settle stood on certain matters and
what he was going to do for the
"boys" who were willing to pull off
their coats and do some missionary
work for him.
It seems they couldn't exaetlv
agree with Mr. Sharpe on details and
finally things dame just the least bit
warm, when Sharpe, with great con
fidence, said:
"Oh, well, you fellows need not
get your backs up-we'ean get along
all right without you. You see the
Pops are with us again they have
put up a decoy in the Shape of Dr.
Dalby and those who won't vote for
Settle will vote for him and as there
are more Populists than negroes in
the district you can see that we are
all right."
Whereupon the crowd left, remark
ing that they would see how Tommy
would come out without their sup
port.
This is in keeping with the general
program, tor has not Settle an
nounced but recently that the negro
Corbett was not and never had been
his secretary, but that Sharpe is the
man This is done to secure Popu
list votes, but what is to be done
with the colored brother?
We can tell you he will be paid
and paid well and after the election,
if Settle is successful, the negro Cor
bett will be found doing business at
the same old stand.
It's nothing but a ruse to catch
Populist votes and at the proper time
the word will be given to the negroes.
It's too soon yet Settle is afraid
they might let it out, in their joy,
and then the Pops would flicker.
Greensboro Record.
Shame on You flonroe.
Bv all means Monroe don't get ex
cited or you will get in a hurry one
time. Democrats and Populists lis
ten to Monroe Sikes who has become
awfully excited. At a meeting of
Billie Royster's black McKinley club
in the Courthouse Tuesday night Mr.
J. M. Sikes was one of the orators,
and in the course of his remarks said
that his "daily prayer was for the
eternal damnation of the Democrats"
which so disgusted Dr. L. C. Taylor,
an old line Republican and the only
other white man present, that he at
once called him down. The doctor
told him that he was wrong in mak
ing such a remark, whereupon Sikes
said he "had a right to pray for their
political damnation," There were
three white men about to enter the
court room at the time who became
so disgusted at the infamous andsae-
riligious remarks they would not go
in. We wonder if he was only re
peating what the colored political
preachers are doing and advising
their sanctified nocks to do the same
thing ? We never thought that Mr.
Sikes harbored as much venom in his
heart against his own race as here
expressed, and had to be called down
by a christian gentleman, and a Re
publican at that.
On its Own Merits.
The Public Ledger stands on
its merits fighting in the interest of
the masses and urge the people to
extend to us their patronage in sub
scriptions, advertising and job print
ing, as we are not backed up by the
State, or subsidized by trusts and
combines. We are proud to say we
are not the tool of any man or set of
men, and bookhek nobody m order
to be numbered with the mighty who
seem to think that all small potatoes
must nibble at their coat tails if they
expect anything at their hands.
Wind Bag.
One of our subscribers asked us
one day since the cyclone whether
Second Messiah Garrett had been
over in Granville with his wind bag,
as two years ago every time he cross
ed the line and made a speech we had
a terrific wind storm. We could not
answer the question, but told him
we had two wind bags in Oxford in
the persons of two of the four beau
tifu1 and entrancing Billies.
