That Salisbury Excursion.

Mr.. Mack Taylor requests us to
correct statement that appeared in
this paper last week to the effect that
the r. and d. Railroad Company run
the excursion to Salisbury. We take
Mr.. Taylor's statement and make the
correction. He says he run the excur-
sion himself and paid his own money
for the train. We are not disposed
to do Mr.. Taylor or any one else any
injury, yet We know excursions are
the greatest evils our people have to
contend with. Mr.. Taylor has the
same right that any one else has to
make money on them-still our posi-
ton is unchanged. We believe ex-
cursions do more to injure our people
morally and financially than any one
thing save whiskey.

Who Did 1t?

Let us look at the vote. cast by
wards last Monday, and it may be
seen whether or not the colored voter
is responsible for the result. In ward
one, about two-thirds of the voters
are white; in a total vote of Ais it
gave a majority of one for whiskey.
In ward two, with three-fifths of the
voters colored, in a total vote of 33l
it gave majority of 95 for whiskey
In ward three, with about the same
ratio, in total vote of 42S it gave a
majority of "A for whiskey. Ward
four is about the same as ward one,
and gave 1O5 majority against whis-
key.
While majority of the colored
voters voted for whiskey, a very small
majority of the whites voted against
whiskey. The majority for whiskey
is about the same as the white MAORI
ty in the city. We discovered some
time ago a dangerous Indifference on
the part of white Prohibitionists,
while prohibition has been steadily
gaining with the colOred people. We
have the result, but let it not go to the
world that the Negroes did it,
that ''they voted solidly for whiskey"
1t is not true. The black troops
fought nobly in this last fight, as they
did year ago, but we fear the result
of this election has lost to the cause
of prohibition many of our good
colored men. Prohibition is growing
popular with colored people, and our
white friends do us great injury to
desert the cause when victory comes
in view.

how any colored man can support a
democratic ticket. But the demo-
Gratis of North Carolina don't want
colored votes.
In the election last Monday the
ants worked very hard and did not
hesitate in the effort and often succeed
ed in converting the voter that it was
to his interest to vote for license.
Votes sold cheap and whiskey won.
Please be patient with this paper
till after the first of July. Till then
we may not come regularly nor
promptly. We leave home next
week, but continue to send in the
money.
A large audience greeted Rev. r.
H. Stitt last Sunday nigh to hear his
last sermon in Grace church. He
left on Monday evening for New
York. Mrs. Stitt stops in Concord
till, next week when she will Join her
husband.
The democrats of this State have
refused to give the people farmer to
vote for, but after wrangling nearly
two days have forced another lawyer
ticket on the people. Dockery is an
honest farmer and they will elect him
in November next.
The republicans of the Second
Congressional District have split
again and nominated two colored men
for Congress. II. p. Cheatham and
Geo. A. Mebane are the candidates
and they will make the election of Sim
mons the democrat certain, if one or
both of them don't get out of the way.
While the democratic National
convention was organizing last Tues
day, the people of Illinois were voting
for judges of the Supreme court. The
result was the republicans elected
four of the five judges which gives
the bench to the republicans the first
time in the history of the State.
The democratic convention seemed
to give good luck to the republicans.
In the election on Tuesday in Oregon,
the republicans carried the State and
have majority in joint ballot in the
legislature. 1t looks like the re-
publicans will carry everything this
fall. Cleveland is doomed.
There were several strangers in
the city last Monday supposed to be
looking after the interests of wholesale
whiskey houses. Prohibitionists were
very quiet and lost the election by
their Indifference. Colored voters
still come over and stay with the
pros, but white men failed in this
election. 1t cannot be said the
"Negro did it."
