stated 10 the negroes that the State
OF North Carolina had been under
the control Of the Democratic party
for two years, aud that at the last

instj Honest Convictions made n
speech 60 his "eullud bruddcrs" there
asscnbled, In which he told them
that he had always been a Republi-
can. That he had been elected 10
office by the Democrats, and had ac.
ccpted the position given him, but
At the time he was elected by them
he was n Republican, and was still
such. Honest Convictions would
never have made such n
declaration as the above nj the time
be was asking the white people Of
CopIah for their votes, and now il
should dye his cheek with the blush
Of shame, when he well knew that il
would reach the ears Of the friends
who had, IA former days, thought il
an honor TO give him their support
Tor any position that he might ask.
But It seems that hc j. lost 10 all
sense Of shame. lie does not seem
To remember that he Is now working
against the interest of these friends,
aud that he j. making lIerculean 81.
forts TO rivet on them the chains of
a CALLING an oppressive government.
oh, to What depths can some men
descend for their own aggrandize-
ment /! Ii seems almost incredible
that we should have men in our
midst who are willing to Cypress and
degrade the very men who hal up
held aud honorcd' them. But we
have such and Honest Convictions is
a fair specimen of the bird.
Honest Convictions went on 70
tell the negroes about the taxes that
he was compelled 60 collect from
them under the laws Of 1885, while
he was sheriff. lie stated that Le
dad not collect said taxes from his
own free will, but that he was forced
to do IT by laws winch the Democrats
had passed. We have nothing TO
say ia defence Of portions Of the
pamphlet Acts of 1895 but We have
this 70 SAY, Honest Convictions should
confine himself to a plain statemcu,
of facts when he is telling the negroes
about the laws Of 1885. lie told the
negroes that be had been compelled
TO collect a polltax from the negro
women. That time and again hC
had made their husbands pay il, be
cause the law compelled him 10 do so
Now, We can tell Honest Convictions
that IL he collected such tax, he did
7 II without the sanction- Of law. W,
have taken especial pains 20 examine
the laws Of 1855, aud We find moth
ing in them which eompcls the tax
collector, or any one else 10 collect
such n poll tax. Thi. Law must hav,
originated in the brain of Honest
Convictions, and was Of his owl
making.
Aud, now, in conclusion, We ash
him il hc collected such a tax, what
he did with the money! DID be ap
ply IT to his own personal benefit
We don't think he ever paid such q
tax into the county treasury.
We advise him, the next time hC
makes a statement ia regard to the
laws OF few years back
10 examine them first, and then
he will know better how TO make hi,
remarks Ia regard to them, and IL be
will bat stick TO the truth durin z thi,
campaign, he will have fewer sins to
answer for in the great day Of atone.

Ltfffe Bobbv and AIS RedAoae
speech.

Little Cock Sparrow Catching,
made speech in the neighborhood
Of Joe. Prices, at Redbone, on last
Saturday, in which he appealed To
the prcjudiccs OF the negroes, and r..
minded them OF the lash that was
raised over them at the time they
were slaves. At this juucturc,
gentleman asked him IL he had
ever whipped negro' Bobby said
that be hal, and that when he did,
he fairly limited him--and made mo-
tions with his hand. indicating the
manner IN which he done it,
But Bobby is liable to forget what
be says. A. he went on with his
balder,iash, he commenced talking
about his honesty, etc. lie stated
that he had never dcfraudcd man
out of a cent in his life-(he proba-
bly, forgotten his attempt to hood
the country with counterfeit money.
II he never defrauded man out of
cent il was not his faulO lie fur
Their said that he had never told
lie, and had never struck a negro
in his life. The little Lilliputian evil
IDENTIFY must be very deficient in
his upper story, for only few
moments before he made the state.
ment that he had whipped a negro,
and besides hail laid il on pretty
heavy-or in other words, he "linted
him" Bobby must surely be very
absent-mlnded, that he cannot re-
member from one moment 60 anoth-
CIR what he says.
lie advised the negroes not to be-
lieve what Joe. Price should say 10
them; aud further advised them not
20 20 to Democratic meetings, and
not to believe what Democrats
should say to them. Bobby, II seems
that you and the balance Of your
followers are somewhat afraid TO let
negroes hear the truth, and wish 20
keep them away from all Democratic
meetings. This has been the style
Of your party ever since It's incep-
ton. You are afraid for the truth
10 DO told 10 them. For when the
negroes find out the kind Of men
they are following, they win drop
them like shot potatoes" and you
will be consigned 90 eternal oblivion.
lie advised the negroes, II they
went to Democratic meetings, TO go
with both ears unstopped, so that
what was told them would 20 into
one ear and out Of the other. We
are glad that Bobby told them to
keep both ears unstopped, for
when they hear the truth, II will
DO the means Of changing great
many from the course they are now
pursuing. Bobby's efforts was o very
lame one, and was only just such as
his small mind Is capable Of pro-
ducing.

la his speech at Burtonton recent
~ Little Bobby sail he would like
TO see a Democratic negroj aud re-
quested, II there was one present he
would rise up aud show himself In
response TO this call a fine looking
negro man rose M.
80 you are Dcmocratl" said
Bob.
"lcs, sir, am," was the reply.
"Well," said Bob, II would be
ashamed TO tell IT," And then turn
ing to his crowd he continued: "My
colored friends, ii | were YOU |
wouldn't feed that fellow any long
err" Quick as fash came the re-
sponsc: "By golly, sir, they don't
feed me, ! feed about twenty Of
them"
Now, Bobby, IL some Democrat
had made use of the above remarks
in speech, against some colorcd
man, who was Radical, would not
you and your party have raised a
terrible howl about fraud aud intimi-
dation, and have threatened the
white people Of old Copiah with
bayonets for violating the Enforce
mcnt Act' We think you would
Bobby, you would have denounced il
in the most bitter terms A. an out
rage, and have abused your race Tor
rcsorting 10 such means. Ii our mcr-
chants should refuse To credit ne
gro because he was n Radical, or one
OF our farmers should refuse Ia en-
p.oy them because they were Radi-
ieal-, what howl YOU would send up
TO Washington City, and would ap-
peal To- the President for troops 10
force our people 10 employ a man
who was voting them into irredeema-
ble ruin. Bobby you should be more
consistent. IT, you advise negroes to
stop feeding one Of their race because
he is a Democrat, YOU should accord
10 the white Democrats the privilege
of refusing them credit aud employ.
mcnt because they arc Radicals. You
must not take all the chicken pie Ia
yourself
Bobby was mistaken in his man
for once. lie had run across the
wrong individual. lie had picked up
a colored man who had accumulated a
little property for himself, and was
able to employ about twenty hands
anil who saw that ii the Radical par,
~ continued ia power much longer
his property would be wasted in the
enormous taxes that they were heap
ing upon our oppressed people, and
had determined To vote for the party
that promised 10 administer the at.
fairs Of government in an honest and
economical manner.
Bobby, the next time you make a
speech, and want 10 lind a colored
Democrat, first enquire what Is his
standing financially before you adj.
wise your cohorts TO quit feeding
him.
For the present, Bobby, we will
drop YOU, until we can get at the
foundation of the rumor IN regard
90 the counterfeit money that you
aud other Radicals have been con
nectcd with, according 20 say so.
As soon as we can find time 90 ex-
anime into il, we shall thoroughly
ventilate Won.
