EDITORIAL NOTES.
The Republicans and Populists are
now engaged in an amimated discus
sion as to the advisability of fusion
next year. The Populists, to a man
seem to favor fusion from the electoral
ticket down, while the Republicans ar.
fomewhafc divided on the question- m
far a8 the eleetoral ticket is concerned!
Quite a number of Republicans, who
still have some regard for the principle!
of their party, are protesting vigorously
against voting for 4 Pop for Presidenfi
and it is very evident that the congldfift
.eration of pie seekers who carried th
State last year will not have such
smooth sailing in the next election.rj

Spcaking .about tho iiuaocial pari
of our business reminds us of that
Democratic ' history of tho legisla
ture." The last jrwo jhave heard
from it was in chairman pou8 letter-
He made a patriotic appeal to
the Deraoc, atic office suckers
throughout the' State to go down
into their pockets and help the 'dear
old party" managers pay the prints
er lor getting out that famous "his
toiy." The proceeds from its sale
were so insignificant that , they
amounted to comparatively uothiug
and jthe 'dar? old party" w&i groan
ng under tho burden of debt. Now
we rUe to suggest that now is a
good time to raise the money to pay
the printer for bis work. We matfe
tb'ieNuggcstion not ecause we are
concerned about the JDomocratie
party, butxbecause we know what
a hard timetbe printers have and
how badly tb
cy need the money

In his speech at (Henderson, Sen
ator Pritchard waaj taking quite "ad
vauce grounds" when he advocated
Republican! and Populist fusion on
the electoral ticket. He was ad
vocating a thing , hat neither the
Populists nor Republicans want. In
our opinion fusibn in the State
should continue tiil the intolerant
Democracy is out ot the way. O-n
State issues the Republicans and
Populists are nearly the same, but
they are vastly different on national
issues. Ttje Populists can not and
will not vote any part of a gold
bug ticket;! this Senator Pritchard

; There ista
certain class of things
that call themselv
, i ' i
es Democrats, andi
when we talk about independen
thought and action,, when we talk
about popular govern men t and say
that the voice of the people sbould
be the supreme law, thtso creatures
(Democrats, loo, God ! eave ; the
mark) spurn the "idea j of such a
thing. They say that the thought
of legislation originating among the
common p :ople h nothing but an
empty dream, that "money has
always ruled arid will continue to
rule." We would be safe irFSSsert
iu that a majority of the so called
Democrats who are. now leading
lights among Southern ( Democracy
entertain the above cowardly views,
and yet they profess to teach the
people Democracy
After exhausting the English
vocabulary to find words with which
to praise,adore and worshiptheAmer
ican traitor, Giover Cleveland, who
stopped his carcass m Charlotte last
week, one of the Charlotte mug
wump papers very mildly suggests
that a white stone ought to be put
up in memory of the grand (?) evyjnt.
If Mariah Ilalpin and her son 4)scar
had been with the Cleveland outfit,
we venture the assertion that be
columns ot some oi tno mugwump
papers of the South would have bcn
teaming with words cotnplimentary
to this noted (?) mother and son
But such is -modern Democracy.
TOADYISM.
It was quite natural that the gold
bugs of Charlotte should make a
displuy. of toadyism and flunkeyiSm
when Grover Cleveland, the king
old bug ol America, passed through
that citv cn route for Atlanta.
During the campaign of '9J. the
toaes and rabble of that ctT an
nulled that part of the Constitution
that, guarantees freedom of speech
and made it a point to howl down
Populist speakers, and of course
patriotic (?) officers of the city wtr
powerless to put it down. A, few
weeks since Senator Butler and
Walter Henry hired the Auditori
um of the city and tried to speak
hut the "sound money" rabble were
on hand and got in their work, and
again the patriotic officers "gavjp
in despair" so sure were the3t1iat
they could not stop the mob that
they didn't even try, but just ear
back in their dns and let the toa
dies yell and thow upoks -on $b
Auditorium until the)iave old sol
diers .ran them dff. But vhen that
greatest of all American traitors.
Grover Cleveland, passed through
in his palace cars the rabble tjiat
howled down Populist speakers
turned out in full force under gen
eralship of the patriotic city officers,
pei haps. And all this is done in
historic Mecklenburg, the birthplace
of American independence!
Notes from Morgan's Saw.
Extortion is one of the paths that
lead to hell. '
Grover Cleveland is making lots
6f ex Democrats.
Hon ought to sue Harvey for
damage to his reputation.
J. Sterling Morton is the feroloso
pher oi the cabinet.
The fool says in his heart "I will
mt
stick to my grand old party."
The church that yotes against
the body will never save the soul.
A free silver Democrat means the
same thing as a free silver goldbug.
The farmers ought to be proud of
their Secretary -of Agriculture, j
sterling, morion.
Changing from one old party to an
other is like turning an old pairof
so . Us wrong side out.
The gold standard has in two
years cost this government five
times as much as the late war. j
If all the people would demand
gold it would settle the gold Stan
dard fallacy in ten days.
The Democratic party is like a
infile it has neither pride of ances
try or hope of posterity.
Figure out what your party has
done for you, and then ask yourself
if it has paid you to stick to it so
long.
One of, the. beauties of being a
Democrat next year will be the
privilege of voting tor what you
don it want. , ;!
; The love of life is beautifully illus
t rated by the Democratic officers in
the way they hang on to the govern
ment pap. ,v j .
t A Safe Refuge.
Just let the boys bide themselves
within the ample jungle ot. the
"Democratic plat form of 1892,f and
all will be well, i uThe Democratic
national platform of 1892" is fear
fully and fwondertully made.
Asa paradise for straddlers, its
equal has never been known. From
the hot sun of free silvetism there is
shade to protect the weary gold bug.
From the! dry winds of goldbuggery
there is water to refresh the fainting
free silverite.
All honor to, the "democratic na
tional plkttarm of 1892!" There's
no case it won't fit, nor theory it
won't support.
To thofgoldbug, it is a toxt; to
the free silverite, an oracle.
It is balm to Hoke Smith and
tonic to Evan Howell.
It's a plea of justification to Cleve
land and; a bond of indemnity to
Billy Brj?an and Dick Bland
It soothes the raging contraction
istand whispers encouragement to
tho mild inflationist.
Owing to its mesmeric iufluence
the Wall' street banker, who started
out to crush tho silver fanatic, and
the haysjied farmer, who started out
to smash) the Wall street goldbug,
suddenly find themselves locked in
one long, luscious hug, and mutually
vowing eternal fidelity to the dear
old democratic party.
It's a wonderful platform, this
'democratic national platform ot
1892."
Ifthereever was an instrument
which was meant to be a gospel to
hypocrisy, a ritual to fraud, a text
book for straddling, a winding sheet
for everything that's honest and
straightforward, it is tbe"democrat
ic national platform of 1892."
When the democratic bosses
adopt ' jthis platform at the
Crawlordsvide convention, they
will do a most logical thing. They
just about fit the platform and the
platform! just about fits them.

Gold Busts Want Low Prices.

Where i3 any noor. drivellincr. fool
farmer ifi the country who is a gold
tandard man, and who. doesn't see
i
ht he. )s -working out his own pov
rty "and ruin, let him read this from
the London Times:
"It see
ns impossible to get bimetal-
lists to uhderstand that there is quite
large nlnmber of us fori whom a gen
eral rise tn prices has no charms what
ever. Wjelike them low and the lower
the better. If they all went down to
half theii present figures we should re
joice, betjause we have nothing to sell
and a great many things to buy. For
those who have things to sell we do not
feel any great concern."
If thill doesn't open his eyes let
him go as an utterly irredeemable
fool. j
"Nothing to sell and a great many
things to buy."
This the condition of the gold
bugs. The It rger part of what they
buy is the products of the farmer.

Who Will Untangle Thisf
There is likely ito. be another
overproduction of corn this year.
Talking with a Kansas man last
Saturday who expects to boy corn
the following fall, he remarked that
be had already been, solicited to con
tract for It at 15 cents per I bushel,
but that be declined. He further
stated that he coula contract tor
any amount of it now at 12 cents,
but he believed it would be lower
i '
than that. So it goes; when people
complain of hard lira os and a scar-
i
city of money, lh0y are told that
there is an abundance, of Jioney if
they only had something to sell.
When they have something to
seli it is not worth: anything, and
they are then told ibat its worth
less n ess is owing to an overproduc
tion of it. How are the people to
accomodate themselves to such cir
cumstances so as to "catch on" to a
little of that prosperity that is so
abundant everywhere or)
is just
going to be. Topcka Advocate.
In a recent, interview; the Hon.
John Sherman discussing the part
he played in tho demonetisation of
silver said: -'It was quite an under
taking when I agreed to shape legis
lation on this line j in 1873. 1 can
forgive the Democrats now for what
tbey said about me and what, they
were pleased to call my great crime-
I have lived to see their Jeaders
swallow their words, and to day
there is not a stronger and more
outspoken defender of of my
cause
than you will find in
President
Cleveland s stale papers
ana tne
speeches of his cabinet officers. It
is hardly necessary for me-to sa' a
word. Ol course H is gratifying to
me.
