ports of what the Honorable So-and-so
or voionei so-ana-so or Captaii
So-and-so have aereed nnnn Ham am
ber that the People's Party in North
Carolina is sixtv thousand atmnfr at
holds the balance of power; that it was
not organized to help the Republicans
keep the Democrats out of power, nor
v v acuiuli mo 10 ulcal tne rte-
publicans; that its object and purpose
is not simply to remonetize silver as it
was prior to the year 1873, but that
the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 is
only one of the planks of its platform
of principles. Do not forget that it
is absolutely necessary to the suc
cess of the People's Party to preserve
its autonomy. Co-operation with
any other nartv is dancrernna and nm
less carefully and watchfully done,
win uesiroy tne one or tne other. To
co-operate witn either of the two old
parties by conceding to them their
own terms is worse than folly, for
the end of four years there would
at
be
leic or tne .People's Party only a cor
poral's guard.
