BLOODTHIRSTY NEGROES.
A Horrible Plot to Murder a Whole
Community Nipped in the Bud
Lynch Law Exercised.

MOBILE, Ala Aug. 81.
A bundle of papers were found in Choctaw
county, Ala, on the 18th inst. disclosed a
well organized plot among negroes to kill
the entire white population Of that county.
On the 18th, Jack Turner and six other ring
leaders were arrested. A plot has been in
existence since 1878. and the conspirators
now number 400. They have powder, shot
and guns. Sunday night, the 18th of Sept,
had been appointed as the date for the con-
summation Of the plot. The papers showed
that this date was selected because then the
white people would be at campmeeting I'M
armed. A mass meeting called for Saturday
brought together about 700 men, among
whom were about $50 negroes who, after
having the papers read, by an almost unani-
nous vote, decided that Jack Turner was
dangerous character. and that the public de-
manded his immediate death. He was &C.
cordingly hung at 1l.50 z. M. in the pres
ence Of the assemblage. The crowd dis
persed and all signs of disturbance ceased
Everything was quiet Saturday night. The
other prisoners are still in Jail to await fur
Their developments.

BATH, Me-, Aug. 81.

DAlh, Nk.s <huS.
The most important political event of the
campaign in this State thus far is the open
detection of Judge Washington Gilbert of
Bath, from the ranks of the fusionists. Judge
Gilbert is a member of the fusion State Com
mittee, and he felt constrained to supper:
Governor Plaisted for e-election, but the
subsequent nomination of a national bank
president for Congress and the manifest effort
to disrupt the greenback organizations in this
State. led him to hesitate and express doub Is
as to the loyalty of Governor Plaisted as
greenbacker. On the eighteenth inst, Rev.
W. f. Eaton and Hon. B. X. Kallock,
greenback candidates for Congress, addressed
letter of inquiry to him as follows:
PORTLAND, Aug. Is.
Judge Washington Gilbert,
DEAR SIR You will please pardon the
liberty we take in addressing you, and let
our apology be our earnest desire to know
the men who have the moral courage to
stand firmly in defence of justice and human
ity against political corruption and treachery.
Knowing that your position in the past has
been earnest for union of effort in the line of
justice to our common humanity, and know
ing that that position is positively denied you
by individuals who are open and declared in
favor with the democrats, it leaves us in
painful doubts in relation to your present
views of the situation. Will it be asking too
much OF you to define your present feelings
and views, in relation to fusion, the position
and course of Gov. Plasted, and the attitude
in which you view the greenback party? 1t
appears to us that the time has come when
shOuH sneak safety
friends in the greenback party who believe
that the statements so often reported that you
are fusionist is base calumny. Or be it
otherwise, that you have yielded to the Sc
ductive fusion elements, painful though the
fact would be, we should be no longer in un-
certainty. We are yours, very truly,
w. +. EATON.
B. X. KALLoCK.
To this letter Judge Gilbert replied at
length today, and concludes by unequivocally
repudiating the whole fusion ticket and pro-
gramme in this State and elections His
purpose is to support the straight greenback
ticket and organization.
1t is known that other members of the
fusion State committee are thoroughly dis
satisfied with democratic nominations. and ii
is freely predicted that there will be regular
stampede from the Plaisted and fusion camp
now that man of Judge Gilbert's eminent
ability and great personal influence has been
found courageous enough to lead of. His
letter will appear in full in the Bangor Mes
senger of Thursday.

This is all the explanation or apology
which the New Age has to offer for the

Monopolist. and Shylock-upon the anti

pocket-book his share of the gains of that

back doctrine is grasping Monopoly, an
instrument to rob the people, is in princi-
pie opposed to national banks but for pure

New Age means in its labored defence

the voters of Maine-the greenbackers
and the International bank democrats who
are honest and intelligent ought to do
cut his name from the ticket on election
day and keep themselves clear OF him and
the whole dishonest party and combina-
ton which is behind him and pressing
him towards a seat in Congress. If Mr..
Dane is the fraud, the mercenary. unprin-
cipled candidate which the New Age rep
resents him to be, he is unworthy of the
support of any honest man.
