Sharpens His Pitchtork.
| Wilmin xton Star.
A Star representative interviewed
Hon. Daniel L. Russell yesterday for
the purpose of ascertaining his views
on national and State politics with
special reference to the Republican
and Third party situation. In re-
spouse to a lumber of questions the
Judge expressed himself in very
plain and forcible language. 1t will
be observed that he has not aban-
doned his intention, expressed some
weeks since, when he declared that
instead of following the lead OF the
revenue gang, if they nominated .
State ticket, he would " follow them
with pitchforks" Here is the de-
liverence of Republican who il
probably the ablest and most sagaci-
GUS politician in his party in this
State:
THE PRESIDENTIAL PROSPECT.
The Presidential prospect Is re-
garded by thoughtful men to be
favorable to the Democrats. They
do not see how Harrison can win un-
less he carries Indiana, and many
republicans regard that as next to
impossible. AS to New York, they
do not see how the $4,000 Demo-
cratic majority of last year is to be
overcome. with the election ma
chinery largely in the hands of Dom
~ocratio politicians. Besides, there
are thousands of Republicans all
over the North who are profoundly
dissatisfied with the performances a.
Minneapolis. The Republican States
were for Blaine and yet the nonina-
tion was given to Harrison 6Y the
votes Of his ofice-bolders, REPRESENT
ing sotten borougha which cannot
give him a-single vote. Independent
men do not relish that E.3d ole
dose Some Of them may swallow it,
but they will not say that they love
E. 1t is BAD enough to have a nomi-
nation purchased when it is paid ont
of the pocket of the beneficiary. 10
is worse when it is paid out of the
National Treasury. Blaine was
slaughtered and Harrison got it BY
the votes of his hired heelers whose
wages were paid out of the peoples
money. But we have got to stand
it, just az you Democrats are swal-
lowing your wrath and supporting
Cleveland.
THE NEGRO REVENUE TICKET.
White Republicans of Eastern
North Carolina will not support the
negro revenue ticket which Eaves
and his gang have put up in order to
save the Democratic party. We will
support the Peoples ticket, and it
looks like thousands oficolered men
will follow us; but should appear
that the colored vote will 60 solidly
for the negro ticket, then we would
advise the Peoples party to with
draw their State ticket and appeal
to all white men to vote the Demo-
cratic State ticket. Skinner was
right in saying what he did in the
Raleigh convention, and the conven.
ton made a great mistake in not
agreeing to it. The gang who con
troll the Republican machine want
to drive all white men out of the
party in the negro belt. If they get
the State their purpose is to turn
over the negro counties to negro
government, In this we propose to
down them, and are ready to 20 to
the full extent of supporting the
Democratic State ticket if necessary
to smash their schemes.
If the colored vote will 90 to the
Peoples State ticket, the Peoples
party will see that there is no danger
Of negro government and will hold
together and the fight will be be-
tween their ticket and, the Demo-
Gratis for State Offices. The white
vote will divide. The Weaver ticket
will draw heavily from Cleyeland.
The Republicans who vote, the PEG.
pies State ticket will support Har-
rison. This is the only way to make
any showing for Harrison in the
State. Notwithstanding his traat-
ment of white Republicans Ia lbs
South, hiE refusal to encourage and
promote Confederate soldiers like
Longstreet and Mosbly and Malone
and Chalmers and Wise, we IRE for
him because of the principles lie

NEW HANOVER COUNT.
Ies@sthat they have.nomiaaied q
fragment of a ticket in New Hano-
yer. They have left out tbo sheriff
and the Treasurer. This is because
al decent men are so disguised that
none of them will affiliate with such
a crowd. They haye brought the
party in New Hanover to such 3
condition that for the offices of
Sheriff and Treasurer they cannot
find a man who could give the bond
for the value of a lousy calf. The
best thing for the colored people is
to leave the matter of local govern.

white people are kept solid by the
conduct Of the Republican machine
managers. The black mar can be
of no consequence except when the
white people are divided. Just

is controlled by the present
party management the white
