DUNLAP, Ia, August Ito the Editor of
The BEE: Has The BEE become an
'~'organt"
When | read in your issue of the 10th inst.
the special from New Orleans entitled,
"Dowued by Democrats | was prepared
for the usual howl from the organs upon the
suppression of free speech, etc, but was
somewhat surprised TO find the first howl in
the editorial columns of The BEE, a paper
having an enviaole reputation for candor and
fair statement.
If the statements contained in the disnatch
are true, this assemblage was a con-
vention of northern settlers, met
solely for the purpose Of exchanging
experiences. a MEMBER attempted TO
introduce politics and vas squelched by the
gang" amid Kisses, calls to order, and
shouts of mot true, and he knows it," But
did il not occur TO you, when writing your
editorial, that the gang" as you call it, must
have been composed of northern settlers.
That the committee that ignored all the polit-
zeal questions was composed of northern
settlers! That the hoWls and calls to order,
the Kisses and shouts all over the hall that
interrupted hlr. Morcy, and finally compelled
him TO cease, must have come from northern
settlers, if the convention consisted of north
ern settlers, as stated by your corrcspon-
dent!
Is it a violent presumption to assume that
these northern settlers We're candid and hon
est in their actioni Is il not barely possible
that this demagOgue from the north was
squelched by these settlers from the north
because he deserved TO be squciched, and
that the affair had no more political signifi
canoe than should, for instance, be given 10
the action of the Presbyterian general as
sembly in Philadelphia last May, when it at

These are the questions suggested by your
editorial to one who is a constant reader OF

ported. From Kansas, Missouri and South
ern Nebraska the reports indicate that
favorable weather during the past week has
generally improved the condition of crops,

But as to work being refused you,

The good people of this city have
shown much forbearance with this
stranger editor of the Chronicle and
it was thought that his incendiary
language would tone down after the
election. He has done more to dis
turb the good feelings between the

here. His efforts seem to have been
to incite riot and bloodshed. The
men who employ him should look
after him and tell him the races are
getting along nicely together here
and we want to be let alone. There
is proper way to treat our mistakes
and possibly we understand each
other and get along better without
the advice of persons who may
misunderstood the situation of things

CIVIL SERVICE.

The democrats are now saying that
Mr.. Harrison is civil service re-
former and cannot afford to turn
democrats out of Office for republicans
Suppose he is. Mr. Cleveland was
said to be civil service man also,
but he succeeded in getting all the
revenue collectors out and nearly
all the postmasters and large majority
Of the postal clerks Now we fail
to see why civil service should protect
democrat under Mr.. Harrison when
it could not protect republican
under Mr.. Cleveland. At any rate,
every Office in which a democrat was
put by the displacing of republican
is a fit place 20 remove a democrat to
restore republican. In every place
from which partisan republican was
removed a partisan democrat was
placed and that is just where the
knife must be used.
Turn the rascals out, Every
oficeholder is partisan The writer
held Office under the last republican
administration, but resigned before
Mr.. Cleveland got in. We are now
ready to go back. We can call to
mind only two colored republicans of
this State who voluntarily resigned
G.. G. Scurlock and the writer.
Turn the rascals out and make no
exceptions in the South, Mr.. Harrison.
If any set of men deserve encourage
ment and reward for devotion to party
it is the republican in the south. If
the Negro shows up a majority in the
party and the necessary ability for the
Offices, why, let him have his just
dues-the spoils.
Turn the rascals out. We never
did favor civil service and never
expect to. If Mr.. Harrison shows it
any quarters at all, he will that far
displease us. What is there worth
fighting for outside of the Offices ?
What fool would fight year after
year and see the very man he had
subdued, enjoying the fruits of his
efforts. There is of course an under
lying principle in the parties but
the principles are SO far buried We
can scarcely tell one party from the
other by its declarations Away
with civil service that does not mean
turn the other party out of Office. To
republicans we say watch, and see
that none but republicans are left
on guard after the 4th of next March.

northern republicans did, for the worst

1 WILD MAN IN TOWN.
heart

The editor of the Chronicle advises
the white people of this city to boy
colt the Neptune fire company because
one Henry Graham claims to have
been expelled from the company on
account of his politics. We know
nothing about Graham's connection
with the company, but we do know
that the Chronicle is now tramping on
very dangerous ground. The present
editor of that paper is the most
indiscreet editor we have yet read
after in this city and this attack on
the best fire company ever known
in this city is unjust and uncalled for.
He talks about the company calling
upon the citizens for their assistance
as though it was charitable institu-
ton of no service to the citizens. If
we thought for moment that the
citizens endorsed such sentiment we
would advise the company to disband
at once. But we do not think our
citizens endorse any such expression.
They have not forgotten the service
this company has been to the city in
protecting its property. They re-
member but few months ago all the
white firemen of the city disbanded
and gave up their apparatus and left
the property of the city at the mercy
of the flames; the Neptune fire COM
pany remained steadfast at its post
and has continued to do its duty as
voluntary fremen.
This white editor of the Chronicle
who believes so much in separation
of the race and who says that white
republican in the South belongs to
the Negro party, ought not complain
if it be true that Negro who joins
the white mans party is asked to get
out of the company of Negroes.
If the members of the Neptune fire
company know their business we
suppose they know what they ex-
PEELED Graham for if he has been
expelled. If they know their actions
to be right, let them stand by it if il
causes them to be boycotted and
given no work by the citizens as
advised by the Chronicle. If they
we're right, they have no cause to
repent and reform and make re-
paration to Graham" When you
have to pledge yourselves to anybody
as to your actions which should be
left entirely with yourselves, then
the time has come for you to disband.

to contribute to the support Of the

1t is wonderful and amusing to Sc,
how adroitly southern democratic
papers are endeavoring to cover W
the tracks of their own fraud in the
late election. Every southern demo
cratic paper is filed with reports Of
fraud practiced by republicans in the
North. How any honest white man
can fail to blush when he reads these
hypocritical articles, we fail to under
stand. For while there are many
honest white democrats in the South
who had nothing to do with commit
ting the outrages in the South, none
are ignorant of the fact of the many
gross wrongs perpetrated against col
ored voters or any white man who
dared to do anything that looked like
frustrating their plans.
As to buying votes in North Caro-
lima this year, it seems to have been a
complete failure. We have made
special inquiry at the principal towns
on the Carolina Central road, in Fay
etteville, Raleigh, Salisbury, Concord
and other places and all say the colored
men voted the republican ticket more
solidly in November than in the last
fifteen years.
The democrats found that out before
the election, and from the mountains
to the sea, and fromVirginia to South
Carolina the actions of the democratic
party was one. In every county and
precinct it is said they were more
desperate, corrupt and orerbearing
than ever before. They knew it was
desperate fight with them, or the
State was gone for Dockery and Har-
rison.
In Fayetteville the papers say 300
colored men voted the democratic
ticket openly, while reliable men who
remained at the polls there through
the day, tell us that not exceeding a
dozen colored men in Fayetteville
voted the democratic ticket knowingly,
but possibly hundreds of colored men
had the democratic ticket ''shifted"
on them while they were being asked
nonsensical questions by the challen-
gers. This outrageous business seems
to have been practiced in every county
in the State. At Maxton, 70 votes
were returned for the republicans. and
men there say they will swear that not
less than 300 were cast for the repub-
licans.
1t is the annoyance of guilty con-
science in these democratic newspaper
men, that causes them to continue the
cry, "stop thief" They know too
we'll their goods are stolen, and the
loss Of the National Government
makes them desperate. but corruption
must be punished. The attention of
democrats may be diverted from the
wrongs of the party in the South, but
the God of the universe has an eye to
these things and He will give to each
man his just reward in due time.
Governor Fowle and all the State
officers and Senator Ransom's success
sor will certainly have bad dreams if
they have any compunctiOn of con-
science How can an honest mar

honest, just and competent men,
and true republicans; and all are
