KN'fbtwcomo to the curiHi(in that It
take money to run a campaign, About
lour or fi v year ngo I got up a plan lu
Valley county to rutwe money for a cam
paign, The plan wan Ilk tbl. I tried
to get the general committeemen in eocii
townahlpto aollclttue township and
rain fifty cant from each member, but
my plan fulled. Bo It I evhhmt to me
that there in no use for any one member
of th party or any one newspaper to
try to devlae plan to ralae money for a
aarnpalgn. W muat organize ouraelvea
In audi n way that wacun reach the
Tory rank and file of the party. If we

author a conference of audi man a VV, V,
Allen, Henry M. Teller, Htcwart, Hibloy.
Wand, Towne, Weaver, Jlolcomb and
the free silver men of congre nud other
prominent reformer and davlsa away
to rulae money to carry on a campaign,
and form a perfect organization. Tula
could only be dona by coiinaelina; those
rnaa to begin with and work It op lu that
way. Now I am going to tall you what
my theory of the next national cam
nalgnabould be, Call tbla conf.rnco,
mlV'r m OUv vunnuivniiuu nu mr mivii,
aitnoint a commit tea of about twenty of
lbs lwti ampaigmra w bafa and lt
thorn jwrfeet a theory for tbo next cam
paign, Thl will inakfl It national and
wa will all b working at tha Maine point,
Tliero la no uwa for n to all kirk on at
a tima. Our work mut 1 on ona point
and all toget her or wa Mball never win.
Now h to tlie money. How can wa ralne
itl It can only b done through th
preMontorguuizution of tha tbrea reform
partlen. I Ait till conniiittee of twenty
direct that tha aum of fifty cent bo ub
acrlbed by each meml)r of tha thn
parlieii. und that thla bo perfectnd
through tha national committee to the
atata committoea and from the Mtata
commltteeM to the county and towimhlp
cominltteea. Hupjiot that .very mem
ber of tha three purlieu would give fifty
cent am for a national campaign.
Till would make an cuormouN amount
and would not be felt. And if it were at
tempted In tbla way, It could eanlly bo
railed.
Now another thing, tha antlonnl com
mittr nhould know jut bow many men
thoy have lu the Uuited State to depctnd
upon, and that ehould Imi known the
flrHt thing. lt (bene twenty men direct
that through the committee, national,
tate, county and towneliip, a poll of
tha voter be taken and revised every
three month. The towiiHhlp co in in It
tee khall report to the oounty commit,
tee, and ehnll give the name of every re
former and every man' name ahull have
a numlwr. Knelt towuehip commltte
mau ehall have a lint of tboM rtformer
sod the county committniiian uliall have
alike it of all the townehlp of the
county, Jn tbla quarterly report to the
foiinly coiiiniitli-e, If every reformer U
numbered on the lint, nil the commit tu
muli will have to do I to report a man
by number if he move out of the town
hip, and if a man move into t he town
tup, all the commit twmuii will have to
do i to add to the bet, nud In hi quar
terly rejiort eeud the nam and number
ta the oounty committee, The town
hip committeeman ehould give lheroa
dition of the townahlu In hi report to
tti county committee, Thi mum thing
In turn enould be done by the rounljr
eommittee ta the elate eommittee, and
the etate eniiiuilt te to the national rtmt.

NORTH CAROUNAMETHOD
ICeoent event In North Carolina ar
.
too glaring violation of fundamental
principle of Amorlcnn government to be
ignored or paNod with a caaual criti
cism. Bundry person acting "without any
authority of law or of ruaeon have over,
thrown existing local government,
driven the former official from their
office, banished memcroue person both
white and oolored from the' nouk try on
pain of death and killed and wounded
many people In the execution of thoeo
peculiar proceeaea.
The excuse and justification of these
act I that the white people of North
Carolina will not put up with "nigger
government". Whlta peoiile who act
with the negroc are classed aa a part of
"nigger government". The expressed
determinat ion I that there shall be a
white man' government In the south
and the great bulk of white public opin
ion appcura to be decidedly In favor of
resorting to any kind of revolutionary
or evon.bloody methods in order to en
force the idea that white men only slmll
exercise practical right. J ending clergy
men lu Wilmington and other North
(tiroll n a cities bave publicly given
thank from their puliilta for the result
acbeived there through blood and vio
lence. '
The starting point of the preuut
trouble wa In 181)1 when the v.hlte re
volt ngalnet the old corporation gold
standard democracy organized a the
populist party grew strong euough by
combining with the re.nnaut of the re
publican parly to drive the old ring
from tower, to send Murlon llutler to
the Culled States senate and to beulu a
new practical era iu tha old north stale.
In 1HU0 the combined populist arid re
publican force won another vlctorly
electing astute tli krt composed partly
of republican and partly of populist.
Tim republic!! party lu a large part of
North Carolina le torn posed chlellyol

victory u good many

The old democratic machine he raised
