the Observer the last two or three
years, cannot and will not vote for
Jones.
The common argument is any
thing to beat the nominee" Are we
to continue to throw off our own best
men and every good chance to elect
decent men of our own partyf Are
we to forsake all principle and go
blindly to the support Of any poor
fellow thrown aside by his own partys
No. 1t is true we are poor, but
there are few of us yet who are not
for sale and intend to vote blank
tickets or stay at home rather than
sell ourselves for a few dollars or be
led by few hired men calling them
selves Independents.
We have had told us the amount
paid or promised nearly every COL
ored man canvassing for the indie
pendents in this county. Some of
them have received only two dollars,
some four dollars and others have
offered to sell their influence to the
Democratic party. A few cheap
leaders are responsible for this low
condition of affairs. What right has
any man to sell you or deliver your
vote to an unfit man without consult
ing you!
We appeal to the sober, calm
judgment of thinking colored men.
What is best for you to do? Listen
not to hirelings, but think the matter
over to yourself, with God as your
judge, make up your mind and vote
once in your lite for men upon merit;
for all are Democrats on the liberal
ticket except Hinson, says the
Observer. -

COUNTY GOVERNMENT.

The question Of county govern
ment has been main issue in all the
campaigns for the last several years,
and now the Independents, so-called,
are crying aloud on that subject.
Late in life finding it out, but can
you place any reliance in what they
say, when it is patent to ali that the
very man who is now managing the
campaign in their interest and at
tending all the speakings nd hoop
ing up the strikers, holds his office
rs Justice OF the Peace or Magistrate,
under this odious county govern
ment system which he is trying SO
hard to have abolishedo The strong
est argument in favor of the charge
OF the system is to give the people
rhe right to elect their magistrates
and give the colored man a chance
to relegate to the shades Of private
life, Justice McNinch, who has fer
many years fattencd upon the mis-
fortunes of the colored race. There is
no reliance to be put in their preten-
tons. They want our votes on cleo
ton day; that is all. We can expect
nothing from them.
When a colored man raises his
voice and. protests against their
methods to deceive our race, they
cry out: He is bought. 1t will be a
cold day when the MESSENGER sells
out the colored race. Mr.. T. K.
Salmond is the only Republican can
didate before the People now, for the
Office of sheriff, and he ought to re-
celve the votes Of all true Republi-
cans on the I'd Of November. Mr.
Cooper is the ring candidate that the
strikers are trying to force upon the
colored people for their suffrage
they get the money.
The only act of his that looks like
being in afiliation with the Republi-
can party, is the fact that he has had
his shaving done in a barbershop
patronized exclusively by colored
people. Mr.. Cooper must give bet
ter evidence of change of heart than
this before he can expect the colored
vote. True Republicans must vote
for Republicans whenever they are
IN the field. This is the true test of
party loyalty and true party princi-
pies. MIR. Cooper is now supported
by the discordant element of the
democratic party who have always
been the chief challengers at the bal
lot box, and the regular bull-dozers
OF colored people during elections.
Colored voters behold them! Juror.
look upon the prisoner. Prisoner,
look upon the juror. Do you like
him? No. Let that be your verdict
on the day of election. If we be-
lieve in free ballot and fair count.
let US forever silence all bull-dozerr,
challengers and bribers at electionsy

"A Malicious Lie.

Some malicious person, or per-
sons, have seen proper to set afioat
and circulate a report in Charlotte to
the effect that Mr.. w. E. Mayo, the
Workingman's candidate for Con-
gress from the Sixth District, is ''an
expelled member Of the Knights OF
Labor-expelled for, drunkenness
This is the furthest from truth of any
lie that could have been circulated
against Mr.. Mayo, who, be it said,
is not only a member in good stand
ing, but an officer of Southside As
sembly No. 6S27, and does not IN
duLge in tie Intoxicating Gzb. 1t is
plain to us where this rumor found
birth and for what purpose it was cir
culated, and if Mr.. Mayo doesn't
make some one smoke ERE the mat
ter is ended then we are somewhat
mistaken, that's all.
Such lies as the above are not wOr-
thy Of chronic politician. and that
is saying considerable, according to
our way of thinking"
The above is from the Wilmington
Daily Index OF last Tuesday. The
Index is the Knights of Labor organ,
adopted at the State Assembly, Au-
gust nth, 1886, as the official organ.
1t has at the head of its column w.
E. Mayo for Congress, for the 9th
Congressional District. Let true
Knights read and reflect over their
obligation.

DR.. MOTT AND THE TICKET.

DR.. ]. ]. Mott, ex-chairman of the
Republican State Committee is out
again in long letter advising against
the support OF the Republican State
ticket. There are only two tickets
in the field: Democratic and Repub-
lican. If we don't vote the Repub-
lican ticket we must either vote the
regular Democratic ticket or not at
all. What can. DR.. Mott mean 1! He
must have lost his mind. Col. Tom.
Cooper ex-collector is fighting Mott
and favoring the State ticket. DIR.
York whose county would not send
delegates to Raleigh is supporting
the ticket. All the Republicans in
the State except DR.. Mott are sup
porting it because the men on it are
Of the ablest and purest in the State.
We have commended all the while
that DR.. Mott was not the proper
person to lead. His actions in mat
tiers certainly ought to satisfy any
thinking man that he has not the in
terests OF the party at heart. but only
acts from malice to spite those who
try to keep up the organization of the
party. Every prominent Republi-
can in Western North Carolina is
supporting this State ticket except
Mott. All factions have united, and
now DR.. Mott throws in his spleen
by advising us to vote the regular
ticket nominated by the Democrats
or not at all, when we have a regular
Republican ticket made up Of the
best men in the party, headed by
Judge R. P. Buxton. What does
Mott mean? We expect him to be
squarely in the Democratic party
next, where he properly belongs, or
in the insane asylum.

Growing Belief that the Opposition to Glad

LONDON, Agril 10.-This afternoons Pail Mall

ton to Mr.. Gladstone's home-rule scheme will
be insurmountable. The opponents of the meas
ure. the Gazette says expect hostility to 1t to in
crease until the Premier's Irish land-purchase
bill is introduced, when ''the storm Of public
disapproval will overwhelm the Ministry. But
continues the paper. ''the opposition may be
counting without their host, as the Ministers can
avert the storm in the land purchase proposals
by asserting the imperial authority over the
statutory Parliament and by abandoning other
Questionable parts of the present scheme"
The Dublin FTeeman's journal. referring to
the speech made by Mr.. Chamberlain last night,
says he began his political career at the very
foundation. and declares his deserting the
Gladstone Cabinet as the most dangerous act of
his life.

name and the address of this 'shaDpy peasant y
but Mr.. Arch was suspiciously reticent when
asked concerning the matter, and would merely
say the man might be found at Wexford A Lon.
don Standard correspondent accordingly went to
Wexford to find him. The first agriculturist who
was questioned proved far from being the ideal
laborer whom Mr.. Arch had so glowingly
pictured. He had only raised on his plot Of
ground about six pecks of wheat anc six pots OF
potatoes, while five half-crowns represented the
sum total of his earnings during the past ten
weeks; and with more force than elegance he
proceeded to characterize Mr. Arch as an unmit-
igated liar The investigation was. however,
continued, and at length man was found who
corresponded in some degree to the happy i'm

man, in addition to cultvating a small holding
to the extent of three roods twenty-five perches
carried on the trade of a hauler. His earnings
possibly amounted to the sum named, but out Of
this he had to pay his son and his son-in-law.
