Minority Report Addresses Populist Cooperation Stance
Five members of the Populist State Executive Committee, Skinner through White, issue an April 25 1896 address from Washington DC correcting press and letter misinformation. It states NC Populists oppose electoral ticket cooperation but favor state and local cooperation with Republicans, conceding the Governor to Populists to protect silver goals and 1894 gains.
