Hon. A. M. Waddell, of Wil

an able and thorough free silver re-
ply (in the News? and Observer,
Tuesday, to Mr. Henderson's late
sound money erutiment. It is one
of the weakest things we have read
for-two year., and we have read
very near evqry 4 speech made in
Congress in that tlitjp. Mr. Wad-
dell would have done better by
keeping quiet.

Ve publish to-day: an interview
the Charlotte Observer's Raleigh
correspondent, with the Democratic
state chairman Jas. H. Pou. It is
timely, it is the statement of an
honest and worthy public servant.
Ale has opened the campaign in the
right way and at the right time.
He has struck the popular Demo
cratic chord to which all true Dem -pcrats
should tune. We do not en
dorse his free silver views or any
thing leading to or from them, but
wc do endorse JeflVr.onian Demo
cracy and all that leads to and from
R, and party harmony.
Free silver! VV hit about free silver?
Why it is a delusion and a snare.
Probably rost of Our people are
for silver at the ratio of 16 tol. Who
are they? The ignorant classes, men
Who do not know what 16 to 1 means
men who cannot tell you how many
grains of silver or gold there is in a
dollar, and men who are so bigoted
as not to want to know, men who
act as though they were controled by
hypnotic influences. In , fact -it
seems to bo a popular mania. Some
wish to ride into Office, newspapers
wish to increase their lists and some
are honest in' their belief. With
the latter class; let us reason. We
meet him, talk frankly and he says,
VI am for gold to day and silver to
morrow, but do r.H know which is
Jpest." The free silyerite says he
can pay off his moi ti age with cheap
money.: "A bale of cotton will go
twice as far as it doet now." .What
an idea! Say eotton is bringing
eight cents, and we make two dollars
put of on1. WliHt will be the result?
In actual values a bale of cotton
would .bring only half its present
price in gold. The silver at 16 to 1
means a reduction of all products of
labor just 50 per cent., and an in-,
crease' when you purchase of 100 per
cent. Every contract will be writ
ten payable in gold, all who have
money to loan will demand gold
payments, and the poor people will
be obliged to accent what .they can
get: silver. Then a reign of terror,
a reign of Woe, of suffering, and of
strife will creep over a poverty
stricken people like the pla&ues ol
Egypt.; The law of supply and de
mand controls the1 value of every
thing. In the, winter months, when
scarce, stawberries w ill bring $1" per
qujirt, in the summer when plenti
ful, you get three quarts for a dime.
So it i with silvt ror gold, increase
the out put and- you decrease its
value. Of course we should have a
proper amount per capita, but not a f
contraction or an over plus. Treat
silver as gold is now treated. Coin
it at its market value. If the real
value is not to be put in our coin
why not use paper? Our gold coin
will be accepted in any couutry at
its face, because of its intrinsic value,
but the present silver dollar will
only bring filty-t w o cents regardless
of the government's stamp. We
A. A . '""
accepi u at lace, u is Kept in circu
lation, because we believe it will be
accepted by the next one and for the
lack of something better. How
many advocates of: silver at 16 to 1
will refuse 30 ounces of silver and
ake 16 for one of gold? How; many
you will refuse 301b of sugar
and accept Ililbs for a dollar? This
campaign will be a campaign of fi-
i naocial education and w hen the vote
will be taken in November next,
rvery uian with brains enough 'to
fill a mustard eed will vote for
sound money and against fiat trash.

silver at 1G to 1, or anything less
than its intrinsic value, an Invita
tion to defeat will be issned.
POLITICAL SOTO.
Out of 18 towns which held elec

Went Democratic.
Representative Shaw has been

W. It. Henry, populist: A. P.

The Democratic convention of
Buncombe County, met in Asheville
Saturday and appointed delegates
to the State, congressional and judi
cial conventions. A free silver reso
lution was unanimously adopted.
A resolution was also adopted en
dorsing James H. Merrimon for
United States Senator, Theo. P.
Pavidson for Governor and Geo. S.
Powell as a delegate to the national
convention. ,
The Raleigh correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer, says the follow
ing deserved compliment to our po
pular townsman. All of which we
unhesitatingly endorse. "Your cor
respondent can state upon authority
that Mr. James II. Pou is riot a can
didate for re-election as chairman
of the Democratic State executive
committee. The question arises,
who is to succeed him? It is the
opinion of many "of the most
thoughtful men in the party that
lion, lee s. overman, oi oansuury,
is peculiarly fitted for the duties "of
chairman. He has administrative
ability, he is popular and, widely
known, and has not figured in any
political quarrels in the party which
have been so marked in the past
few months. ' He' is an earnest
Democrat who feels the party? wel
fare above all things else."

State Chairman James II. P.ou
answered the following important
questions by the "Charlotte Obser
ver's Raleigh correspondent, last
Friday. 4 Mr.. Pou, who is always
thoughtful and who does not speak
without weighing his words, was
asked first what he thought of the
party's status to day, and replied:
The condition is better than it
has been for many months. The
improvement is visible in a height
ening of party spirit and in a sturdy
determination, now everywhere ex
pressed, to make a straight, honest,
Democratic fight in North Carolina
this year; to win success if possible,
but if defeat comes to preserve the
party honor, the party organization
and the party name."
"Has there been any disposition
to temporize or compromise?" was
asKea ana Mr. pou answerea:
"If I may judge from rumors
which have gained circulation and
which to some extent have anpeai-
ed in the public prints during' the
past six months, i I must conclude
that some' iren belonging to the
Democratic prty and some belong
ing to the Populist party nave be
lieved that honorable co-operation
between these parties was possible
and probably desirable this year.
Whether these ideas took definite
form, whether any propositions
were made. I have no knowledge
But this I do know, that Ihe mere
discussion of such a possibility had
the effect of weakening our party
discipline and in dampening the
spirits and hopes of our people. We
have seen and felt this and the most
distinct evidence of improvement,
I think, is the abandonment of any
idea of co-operation this year be
tween these parties."
" Whai effect did the much talked
of meeting of the State committee
in E. C. Smith's office on the after
noon of April 9th have in chilling
Democratic enthusiasm and hope?"
"That meeting probably had no
such effects The condition of which
I spoke existed long before that
meeting and the cawing of that
meeting might have grown out of
that condition. I. cannot say. I
did not attend the meeting, was not
invited, and except from mere " ru
mor do not know what took place
thereat." : ! .
"It has been said that the holding
of that afternoon meeting was an
attempt to not only forestall the ac
tion of the State committee but aho
that of the State convention. Is
thistrue?" ' -
"I do not know what the object of
the meeting-was."
"To what do you attribute the im
provement in the outlook for Dem
ocracy in North Carolina?"
The cause which ha .no doubt
had the greatest effect has been the
vision of the old Republican party
rising again and confronting the
white people of Nt rth Carolina;
j uuge nusseii, uoi. ijocxerv and a
few other white men appealing to ; that no organization can exert a use
the worst passions of 100.000 negroes 5 ful inlluence except as part of sonie
ana asKing them to give them office;
vo tuiunn mi ui me- CTiupaigu auu
the fact of the isue before the people
V:h.ether these i eople shall rule the.
State or whether white government
shall be continued must be decided
within the next few months. Other
cau-?e9 have also contributed. The
strong probability that silver advo
cates will control the national con
vention and the fact that the nation
al candidate and platform will be
thoroughly acceptable to the. gTat
majority of the white people of the
.State have encouraged us greatly.
I The almost certain nomination of
t Metfinlev and the utter failure of
Congress to do anything to justify
its existence: all these things have
again caused thoughtful men all
over the country to turn their eye3
to the Democrctic party as the Is
raelites of old turned theirs towards
the Ark of the Covenant, i nen,
too, I think the action of our State j
committee in deciding to pursue the
even tenor of its way and to call a
convention in th usual manner
and at the usjial time served as a
notice to the people that the Demo
cratic party has chosen to live-rather
than to die, and that it would rte
defeat rather than sacrifice on? prin
ciple or to compromise with any ad
versary. I think the committee's-
conduct has met the approval of the
vast majority of the party, and that
the party has faith in the Democra
cy of its committee."
"Will the convention in June
nominate a State Ucket or will it. as-
has been suggested, after electing
delegates to Chicago, adjourn until
a latter day to make nominations
for State offices1?"
"That is a matter which the con
vention would decide for itself. If
the ekies brighten fo that our vision
may be cleared by June 25 there is
every reason to believe that the con
vention will at that time nominate
a full State ticket. Heretofore long
campaigns have always been suc
cessful and I see no reason why this
year should be an exception. The
more thorough we can make our
canvass this year the more votes we
will get. The advantages to be de
rived from a still hunt or a short
campaign would inure to the benefit
of our adversaries rather than tons.
And I am convinced that if on the
25th of June wte can foresee that
silver will win at Chicago, I think
we should "proceed and nominate'
the whole State ticket. Should the
convention decide that the wiser
course would be to defer nomina
tions until after the Chicago ponven-
tion, that course will no doubt be
adopted; the convention undoubt
edly having the power to take a re
cess and assemble again."
" What do you think of fusion be
tween the Populists and Republi
cans?"
; "Some Populist office-seekers
would be willing to have their par
ty suffer any humiliation provided
they would be given an office.
Thompson and Skinner and Gill
and Amis and Mewborne ahd'Hile
man and Dalby are of this class.
But I believe the great majority of
the Populists were formerly Demo
crats and are now sincere and honest
men who earnestly believe in the
doctrine of free silver. . I confess I
do not see how these men can makej
up their minds to assist in electing
McKinley, a gold-bug, President,
and in turning over! the State to
Dockery or Russell and the crowds
which are backing the?ri."
."What do you think the North
Carolina Democrats will do?"
"First. I think they will preserve
their party organization and remain
a part of the national organization.
The indications now point to the
success of silver at. Chicago, Its
success in Raleisjh June 25th is cer
tain. Our platform will declare un
equivocally for silver. Our nomi
nees will be silver, whose Democ
racy is untarnished, and we will
call upon all men who believe in
the free coinage of silver and a rev.
enue tariff and an income, tax and
in an honest State government, ad
ministered by white men. to rally
trt thf T)fmnnrntif stiinrlarrl ' To
Hhis call it seems to me many Popu
lists should respond, and they will
be welcomed into full fellowship . in
the Democratic party. I think the
number who will return, should
this course be followed, and the
character of those who will return,
will greatly surprise those not fully
informed as to the present condi
tions. The imminence of misrule
in eastern JNorth Carolina is exert
ing a conservative influence over all
classes of white people. The Dem
crats w ijl accord manly and gener
ous recognition to all Populists who
come, and I think vthe majority of
the Populists would be willing to
fight in the Democratic party for
free silver, low taxation and income
tax and help save the State irom
ruin, rather than throw their votes
away, voting for free silver, it is
true, in their platform, but . coupled
wiili the government ownership of
railroads, the referendum, woman
suffrage and a whole lot of other
thimrs which will be put into the
Populist platform, pleasing to West
ern fanatics but repulsive to the con
servative people of the South."
"I am told by Populist State Sec
retary Ayer that Populist3 and
Democrats have begun to fuse in
some counties on the silver issue.
What do you think of that?"
"In the Democratic party the
counties are a law unto themselves
ana there is no supervisory power
which could restrict, forbid or com
pel any action on their part. I am
satisfied theDemocrats of the coun
ties Will act wisely in all things and
nothing they may do will be criticiz
ed by their State organization. Not
so much principle is involved in the
election of a cou:
gister of deeds,
ty treasurer or re
nd in a CQunty
where otherwise
would be filled b
olh those ofhees
corrupt Republi- i
cans it might b
etterto have them ;
filled one by a Democrat and one by
a Populist. A far better plan, 1
think, would be in'all such counties
for the Populists to come back , and
again become a part of our organi
zation as they were before 1692.
Should they do so their recognition
would be full and geneious. I am
sure." ; -.--'
"What is your opinion, Mr. Chair
man, rfs to the authority of conven
tions and the true plan and scope of
the Democratic party? Is it a na
tional one or is it limited to a State?
In other words, is the national or
the State convention the true source
of party law and authority?"

U not acknowledge fealty to

man's Democracy in South Carolina
is cited as a case in point to sustain
the opposite view.- But it is ; not a
case in point, for it has always sup
ported the national Democratic tick
et, and, in my opinion, should it
cease, to support the national Denoo
cratic ticket, it must become a part
of the Republican or Populist or
sranizations or; quickly dissolve. !
Therefore, if we are to.enect any
thing practical for silver or for any
other desirab'.e object we must re
main a part rf the national Demo
cratic organization and fight for
principles within its ranks."
"Do you not condemn bolting the
national convention or any hint
thereat?"
"No true Democrat shou'd ever
think of bolting any more, than a
husband should of divorcing the
Wife of his bosom, and the mere
hint pf it increases the danger of
doing-it."
"Is there the slightest idea on the
part of Democrats in North Caro
lina of passing the South Carolina
election law?"
"None in the world. The present
law is a bad one. Should thejDem

"What is the present duty of
Democrats?" v
"The first thing we need is peace
within the party. No more fighting
among Ourselves, no more recrimi

sides for the party's good. Let the
'sound money' men be content with
the maintenance of the party name,
integrity and national allegiance,
and let the 'silver' men rest content
with silver declarations and silver
nominations, and the giving of
North Carolina's whole weight for
the silver cause. Let us train our
guns upon the Republicans, leaving
the Populists alone for the present.
Let all Democrats take the self-denying
ordinance and let nothing be
done fo promote personal ambition
to the sightest detriment of party
welfare. Let us'nominate in June
the cleanest and best ticket ever put

register a vow in high heaven that,
God being our helper, neither Dan

stand for shall be Governor of North

It is so pleasant to tak3 that all
like it.
It is so harmless that the tender

SHE DID NOT SUFFER.
Three months bafore our first child
