From the, sentiments that a-
risb to the top sufficiently to be

confident that Polk has enough
third party following to give the
State to the
eliction.

The Democratic State execu
tive committee met iu Raleigh
oh the 15th. They met to con
sider the grave political situa
tion confronting the State. A
cpmmittee of ten, five Alliance
men and five nori-Alliancemen,
were appointed to draft an ad
c ress to the people urging and
a dvising harmony.
Fall of year is here At least
we judge jso, from a glowing
headline in the Baltimore Her
j Id. which1 reads thuslyt
I "The Inf aliable Decree of Nat-ri'-rnl
T.aw Orders the Forest to
i " -w '
Doff Its Vernal Robes and Bids
the Landscape to Put on Requi
em Attire." j 1
What does that signify, if it
Hnn't mean that the leaves are
oing to 'drap"?
i '
The Marion Free Lance; says
khe leadership of the Democrat
ic party of this state goes( with
the Dublic printing. i-.eaaers
are what Polk and his hirelings
call "bosses." If the Free
Lance be right in its proposi
tion, Joe Daniels, after all his
attempts to be conservative, is
the prime cause of all this third
party movement in the South,
for Polk,' and his hirelings say
v,, ino,ionr 'lin"o' r,re
responsible for it all, and Polk j
is infallible and can't make
a
mistake, or state an incorrect
proposition. Nor. can any one
presume to question his dic
tums, lest his priests, who offer
incense to him each week on
the altars called the "reformed
press" which Polk controls, cut
and. carve you into infinitesi-
mals by the death daggers and., . . . J, , ,
- 00 , . the DeoDle eoinc: -to be led a-
stilettos of liar," 'fccoundrel
etc We are sorry for Joe Dan
iels. There should be no conflict
between our people. Our inter
ests are one. In order that
harmony may prevail we should
understand each other. And
to this end we would be pleased
if Mr. Butler when he speaks
here would answer a question
or two.
Does the Alliance intend to
make an attempt to engraft the
subtreasury in the Democratic
State Platform?
If this be answered in the
affirmative, willf he explain
how this can effect the finan
cial condition, as all financial
legislation is entirely the prov
ince of the Federal Govern
ment? Tho reports and dispatches
concerning damages done, to
the crops in .the northwest by
the recent severe rain and
snow storms, to which that re
gion is subject, is very discour
aging. It appears that sever
al million bushels of- wheat,
that was not yet threshed out,
have been practically ruined.
The harvests of North Da
kota and Minnesota, . which a
short time ago promised such
abundant returns, is a compar
ative failure now. "With this
recent calamity facing them,
and the fact of the trusts being
formed on wheat and bread-
stuffs, both by the "bondhold
ers" and the Alliance, things
are somewhat gloomy for, the
people, and they will still be
the discontented northwest.
Joe Caldwell, of the Land
mark is on a pretty waTm trail,
after Polk and Ramsey, of -the
Progressive Farmer,; concer
ning their using passes on the
railroads. Sometime ago the
Landmark quoted an article
from an Alabama paper stating
that Polk used passes. Polk's
hired boy Ramsey stated in the
Progressive Farmer that it was
a lie out of the whole cloth,
and that whoever started Jit
was a scoundrel. The Land:
mark reiterated the charge and
got so close after Ramsey that
he had to come . out with the
statement that he nor Polk had
used a pass since oyer a year a
go, when they stopped publish
ing the R..R. scedulej and says
Polk has not used a pass since
he has been President of the
National Alliance. The. Land
mark is getting still closer after
them and asks them to produce
a statement to that effect from
Col. Andrews. We await the
answer. But from appeances
so far in the mattei it would
seem that what Ramsey dubbed
as "lie out of the whole cloth"
is about to turn out to bej "a
truth out of the whole cloth.
! What Peffer Wants. !
The Kansas Farmer, of which
Senator Peffer is editor, ; in a
full column editorial, writing
for the, purpose of showingthat
the chief aim of the Southern
Alliance is to divide the Demo
cratic party and delivering the
fragments to its enemies 'closes
with this significant paragraph:
"If the Alliance should fail in every
thing else it proposes, but should suc
mrwl in breaking un tho "Solid South."
by absorbing a majority of the Demo-
cratic votes of that section, it . will de
serve the lasting gratitude of the' whole
nation. It will have accomplished
what the managers of the Republican
party has spent years of time and sever
al million dollars in vain to do, and by
so doing it will demonstrate its greater
potency as a political diplomat."
Senator Pelf er is the leading
light of the Alliance, and he
- o f ao nlninlir if c nliot Al0
stray for the benefit of Polk,
Peffer, and the Republican
party?
Federal Court Captured.
Our special reporter at State
yille telegraphs us as follows:
i The Wilkes delegation has
captured the .Federal Court.
Judge Dick, finding himself
hopelessly in the minority, has
given over his position to Mr.
E. Wallace and has "Vamous
ed the ranch." Benbow and
Greene are District Attorneys,
and Wellborn & Hackett and
Dula aDDear for the defence.
They are trying Wilkes men
only now. :
Judge Wallace made the fol
lowing practical charge to the
grand jury:
"Gentlemen:- I'm from "Wilkes pleasa
make a note of that. I'm a good one and
don't you forget her. I know my busi
ness, I do I am U. S. Com. I've run
your liVe' knock-kneed Judge out of
town and I can run this here Court ac
cording to Hoyle and do'nt you forget
her. If people are fools enough to
make liquor and let the officers catch
them at it, will have to take the conse
quences of the law. The Court will
now proceed to run itself."
District Attorney Benbow
next arose and said:
"I'm a hoss. They call me Roberts,
but Roberts is always on hand. I'm 1
here to prosecute every darn one of you,
and I'll convict you. You prepare to
go to jail. I'm the depository of the
law. If I weren't agin you, I'd appear
for you. I'm sorry for you, but the
dignity of this court must be upheld,
yes by h 1 it must. Whoop-pee."
Mr. Greene arose:
"Gentlemens and Ladies: I repre
sent the firm of Finley & Greene. We
are the best lawyers in town, and con-
sidering our ability and experience we
are the best in the South. I was over-j
run w ith rlipTfta at court. I know the;
and ko does mv partner. Thank;
you for your attention."
Mr Wellborn then proceeded:
"Mr. Hackett and myself are part-j
ners. We're good ones. Our room is
next to the Chronicle, and its a good
one, too. I can pick the banjo and
Rincr Knnw as sweet and Dure as those
D O - '
by angels sung. (Here he gestured
with both arms at full length). We are
prodigies as far as knowing the law is
concerned. We carry within our
knowledge a panacea for every ill you
are heir to. We have brought it to
your doors. Will you accept it? . No
matter what your case is we can clear
you every time. If you thirst for relief
call upon us." I
Here everybody made a rush
Ar the speaker, mistaking his
meaning, for they were all gett
ing pretty "thirsty" and in the
uproar the speaker retired,
The Court commanded order.
At this juncture, Mr. Lewis a
rose to the importance of the
occasion and said:
"Gen'mcn: jes one word. This here
court must be run in 6tyle. You must
all keep quiet. I don't wish you u
barm and don't want no fuss with none
of you, but you are jea bound to keep
more silence. I want you to understand
that I'm chief of Police of Wilkesboro
and know my business, if you don't be
lieveit jes ax the boys. Stand back
and keep silence or I'll arrest every one
of you. I mean what I say." j
For this brave and patriotic
act, Judge Wallace swore Lewis I
in as Marshall. j
j Mr. Dula arose to address ihe
Court, but some fellow moved
to adjourn, to some Wilkes wag
on, as States ville was now a
dry town, and the motion carri
ed unanimously. Court is still
at recess at this writing."- j
The town commissioners
should turn their attention to
the sidewalks a little while.
