to fight, members of its own party
in the name of Liberal, independent
or something of the kind. We call
'it Coalition generally speaking Of
it. The Negro has idolized the Re-
publican party and though that
party while their best friend, as a
party has allowed them to suffer
and die, yet they are willing to SUI
fer still and even die for the Repub-
lican party.
The Liberal Democratic; Republi-
can-CoaIition party is different. 1t
is true it has in it some of the same
leaders and some of the worst Dem
ocrats in the State, and makes some
very fine promises. But the Negro
has done the voting for the Repub-
lican party and lived on promises
for fifteen years. They are tired of
it. They will not do the same for
the Liberals nor any other party.
Had they come to us without prom
ises, nothing would have been ex-
pected. But if promises were to
get our votes, this Liberal ticket
shall not have our votes till these
promises are filed. Leading col
ored men of this county will hold a
meeting the last of next week and
unless they are satisfied, arrange
ments will be made to defeat every
Liberal Democrat on the county
ticket.

muTINY, TREASON. DEATH.

The old liberal ship in Mecklen-
burg county floats without q cap
tain. The voters are rising in their
might declaring they will not sub
NIT to the government and dictates
of bosses in whom they have no
confidence. The bosses declare
these few colored men who dare as
sert their manhood, are traitors to
the party. Why should colored
man not be allowed TO be his own
Judge as to whether he should fol-
low the leadership of traitors from
the democratic party2 Then trail
tors from the Democrats coming to
us makes traitors of our own men.
The foregoing are terrible evidences
of the early death of liberalism in
Mecklenburg county. TITS sad if
true. The question: which is the
greater, the gains or losses seems
not to have been considered. There
is no longer a doubt that more re.
publicans will refuse to vote for the
liberals on our county ticket than
there are liberals in the county.
The pet game of the liberals seems
to be bluff. Now we think they
will find it block game and they
will be the heaviest losers.

MuTlNY.


There is an uprising on board our
ship, and though the Messenger has
been foremost in advocating the
liberal movement, it is to-day
among the tagging. Because tho
liberals have acted unwisely and
unjustly. They have started out
with deceit and false promises, and
any sane man knows ifthey refuse
to do anything at such a time as
this, they would kick a negro out
of town in times of peace. The
liberals have deceived us, and they
are responsible themselves if they
are defeated in this county. Hav-
ing lost confidence in them, we
don't see where we have anything
to gain or lose.

UNDERSTAND Us.

AS we are attacked on every side,
probably it is necessary for us to de
fine our position again. The MES
sENoER is scntimentally Republican,
and supported the Liberal ticket
mainly for three reasons:
First, the Republican party to
which we are subject ordered it.
Secondly, there is no other party to
support but the old Bourbon party.
And thirdly, we hoped it would
bring about the desired result Of
dividing the white vote of the State
which must be done before the col
ored vote is divided, and before
there ever will be political fairness
and freedom for the colored man.
We take the course we mapped
out before the conventions were
held; we said we would do as the
party directed. We only accept
the less of two evils. We have
stood by the Liberals like man,
we think. They pat us on the
shoulder and smile upon us, and
one-half of the candidates don't even
take the MESSENGER. Gentlemen,
please remember we are making
great sacrifices. We have hushed
our conscience. We have got to
grease some of you well before we
swallow you, and although it is only
about ten days till the election, you
must do better, or we can't stand
this treatment that long. We are
subject to speaking out in church.
We say again there are some promi-
SEES to be filed. No party can, new
or will and never should again mar
shall the Negro vote as the old Re
publican party has done. So please
come up to your promises or we
shall not he responsible for the con-
sequences.

OUR TICKET.

Gentlemen of Meeklenburg coun-
ty, ten days from to day you are
expected to go to the polls every
one Of you, and vote. You are ex-
pected TO register before election
day; and on that day cast your
ballot for some one candidate or
another for Office.
First, is our candidate for the
State Senate,
COL. WIN. R. MYERS.
He is patriot and a statesman. No
better man lives than Col. Myers.
Every Republican in the county is
expected to vote for him.
Mr.. L. G.. Morton is our candidate
for tho Lower House. We learn
he is Republican Of good record,
and of course deserves the united
Republican support which we sim
cerely hope he will get.
RoBT. R. RAY, ESQ.,,
our candidate for Sheriff, is well
known throughout the county, and
though he does not think it neces-
sary to say just yet what he intends
to do for the colored man more than
Mr.. Alexander, yet we hope our
friends will all vote for him.
We hope all will look upon the
State ticket as q Republican ticket
throughout. 1t stands as it was
given us. Vote it straight. But
SO far as the county ticket is con-
cerned, we only ask that every man
vote for each Republican on the
ticket. Inasmuch as the men who
gave MS that ticket have proven
false, we have reason to believe the
men on the ticket are themselves
false. ~

A BARGAIN.

1t is said the Liberal ticket in
Mecklenburg county was arranged
upon bargain between certain
parties. In Cumberland they sent
two or three colored men to Wash
ington and gave them good places
to get them ont of the way. Re-
member if certain promises are not
complied with very soon, there will
be one or more colored candidates
on the ticket in Mecklenburg coun-
ty. You say we promised to sup
port the Liberal ticket. Yes, we
did with the understanding that
these things would be done and that
the Liberal party would support us.
Neither is being done, and as we
have said before, It's no use to kick
after the election. Some of our
leaders are deserving M and we
give the others but o few days more,
for We have crossed the line and
kicked up dust till our head Is near

A series of experiments took place on Au.
gust %, says the St.:James Gazette, in the
workings of the Wharneliffe Silkstone Collier
les, near Sheffield, the object being to test the
new method of winning coal by the use oil
compressed lime instead Of blasting powder.
The experiments took place in the Parkate
Seam. A hole about three inches in diameter
and four feet deep was drilled through the sol
id coal and cleaned out; perforated iron tube
was then inserted, and the lime cartridge,
three inches long put in. When the lime
had been rammed home and the hole made
up, force pump was used to inject water in
to the bottom of the tube Simultaneously
with the injection of the water the rending pro-
Cess began, and in 80 minutes about 10 tons
of coal came down almost in an unbroken
mass OF the whole of the fall, not more
than 6 per cent of the coal was small, a much
smaller percentage than under the old system

that compressed lime will eventually super

The Sunset Route and the Missouri Pacific
War.

The Sunset Route and the Missouri Pacific
The Galveston, Harrisburg and San Anto-
MO and the Louisiana Western railroads are
strictly adhering to the terms Of the order re.
Gently issued refusing to receive anything blu,
prepaid' freight from the Missouri Pacific at
Houston. Their attitude is firm and there
is no indication of them backing down
from the position they took when they pre-
sumed on the strength of their rights to
defy the whole Gould Southwestern system
They have not improved their sltua-
ton, but they have at least secured ex-
emption of their patrons from excessive
charges on freight consigned to stations on the
Sunset route. The Missouri Pacific being
placed at disadvantage has, according to RI
NOR, offered shippers rebate OF cents per
100 to counterbalance the prepayment OF
charges The cut rate, it is reported went
into effect on Saturday, but dihgent inquiries
have failed to locate the change, and 1t IS
probable that there is no foundation for it.
The Cairo Short Line has been benefited to a
considerable extent by receiving quantity OF
freight that under ordinary circumstances
would have been shipped over the Gould
lines, and as it and the Star and
Crescent Routes are the only bene-
ficiaries they are willing to have the
disagreement protracted for an interminable
length of time. The Sunset route is to large
extent the property of the Huntingdon syndi-
cate, who own the Southern Pacific, which
has been on intimate terms and operated har-
moniously with the Gould lines. The friendly
relations existing between the principals OF the
two lines renders it likely that they will not
long remain with daggers drawn, and that a
truce will be patched up during the course OF
another week. The agents OF the lines agree
st. Louis and hears an explanation he will
consent to such terms as will restore the roads
to friendly footing. The letter Of George
Odds, general freight agent of the Missouri
his company was always ready to
deliver freight at the Sunset route
depot in Houston free of charge, is
Considered singular when a short time ago
the agent refused to follow these instructions
on the plea that he was acting under orders
from st. Louis. To make a test case Mr..
Kellogg had car destined for San Antonio
billed to the chief clerk of the Galveston, flar-
risburg and San Antonio at Houston Arriv-
ing there the Missouri Pacific refused to make
a "a road transfer, and the car had to be un-
loaded at their depot. The clerk thereupon
endeavored to secure teamsters to deliver, the
freight to the Sunset depot, and in spite ofan
offer of S 90 to cover the expense, the team
STEERS refused on account of the abominable
roads between the stations, which are about
mile apart Having no other recourse the
official was forced to reload the freight and
bill it through via the Missouri Pacific. This
was the primary cause of the rupture, and the
Sunset people, believing their competitors the
aggressors, will allow them to make the first
overtures before settlement is considered.
