Such talk cannot, with any show of truth, be to the party in Pitt county for the simple reason that the people am the alone laminate absolutely control the Democratic primaries I and the Democratic conventions in the county. In these primaries and conventions the least and the hum are equal to the greatest and most distinguished. The Demo candidates are therefore the people's candidates they should receive the united and dial support of every voter who be- that people should rule. That was just like President j What can any voter hope to Roosevelt to make several statesmen by sulking in his tent Mid wait on the until he could j tIle finish a conference with some He can callers. lie working for the vote. of their nomination.

If j they were nominated, meeting was held in any town- in the county to appoint gates to a county convention we have not heard of it- The men who that service came of their on ii accord, acted upon their own responsibility and departed as they came. By the way, would not a Republican township meeting in Pitt be a funny looking thing When, oh, when was one held The ADDITIONAL REASONS WHY ALL SHOULD VOTE FOR THE DEMO- NOMINEES. We have heretofore given the list of the Democratic nominees and a list of the Republican nominees, with a brief account of how each was chosen. We now propose to give a list of the Populist nominees time was when they could j a brief account of their as- well attempt to role of . the various township Don Quixote. Hie would as much for himself or his this leads us to ask has become- of the Populist party in Pitt It was numerous and and many of our best people. Could a stranger who saw it in and have looked in on it the he must have been struck with amazement to have seen this forlorn remnant of a once aggressive party. If the question be asked of what death did it die, the answer must be of fusion. The state leaders like the Butlers and the Skinners tied their party on to the Radical party as a sort of Republican annex. Of course two parties professing so diametrically opposed to each other as the Populist parties could long work together. These leaders got into the can party and the great rank and pile of Populists came back home where they belonged and where they are now doing good for Democracy and good government. There are just n few in the county who still stand aloof. They number a couple of dozen or so in Pitt. They have too much of the Jeffersonian Democracy in them to into the Republican party and they are a little too proud or stubborn to come backbone. We beg to suggest to they are throwing away their a respectable number of respect- the 8th of October, 1904, the position they in. country in practical of men, appoint their couple dozen or so call.
