THE POPULIST STATE CONVENTION.
The question whether there
will be any honorable co-operation
between the Democrats and
the Populists for the return of
good government to the State
will depend largely upon the
action of the Populist, conven
tion that meets in Raleigh to
day.
Whether (the Populist party in
North Carolina will thus break
away from the degrading influ
ences of Republicanism and take
its stand with the Populist par
ty of the West, where the Demo
crats and Populists work to
gether harmoniously, is a matter
to be determined at their State
Convention. The contest is on
between those who desire to
have dishonorable fusion with
the negro and gold party and
those who desire "to be deliver
ed from the body of death' It
is only in the event that the sil
ver element wins, that the Dem
ocrats would consider co-operation,
and not then if it involved
such dishonorable dickerings as
the Clevelandites and the Pritch
ardites engaged in to elect Mc
Kinley and Pritchard in 1896.
There is co-operation and co
operation. It is dishonorable
for any two , parties to act to
gether unless they are agreed
upon the paramount issues. The
Democratic, Populist and Silver
Republican parties co-operated
in 1896 to carry out the greatest
declaration penned since Jeffer
son wrote the Declaration of In
dependence. Failure on their
part to have acted together
would nave branded tnem as
fajsp tq their professions Or dolts
lad idiots? C.MJi'Wtttkm l?e-
tween Republicans and Popu
lists is iDConsistent and dishon
orable because the professed
principles of the two parties ore!
diametrically opposed to each
other.
Those Democrats who hope to
gee the better element in tne
Populist party repudiate the
Republican contingent base
their hope on the beiief that
such a seperation will open the
iloor for re-uniting the white
men who, prior to 1&Q2, stood
together and prevented the evils
of Radical which now disgrace
the State. If this opportunity
is presented to the Democratic
State convention the dictate of
wisdom will be to embrace it.
We know of no Democrat who
believes in the Chicago plat
form who does not rejoice in the
tendency on the part of many
Populist to break away from
associations which made them
partners in bad government and
negro denomination. They bid
them God speed in their attempt
to expel from leadership those
who seek to make their party a
permanent annex of the gold
standard party.
The contest is on and from
one end of the State to the other
will the action of the Populist
be watched with interest.
