Senator Mewborne's Position on Fusion and Principles

A 1896 letter from James S. Mewborne in Kinston NC to A L Swinson rejects a Republican Populist fusion. He pledges to fight for currency principles, opposes treacherous coalitions, and asks whether Populists will cooperate to preserve liberties. He recalls 1892 defeat and 1894 victory and urges unity to safeguard ballots and local self government.

Populist Reply on Principles and Cooperation in North Carolina

Mr Swinson in Goopstore North Carolina on April 17 1896 argues that true Populists must act for principles and patriotism and reject trading offices for votes. He warns against fusion with Republicans to gain influence and insists on a straight ticket in 1896 while noting joint efforts in 1894 for election reforms.
