Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1892-06-30

lowing is the editorial in the San
to-day:
There is one question depend
ing on the election of the next
president which, in it's momemtous
Importance and vital imperative-
ness must seem to every philo-
sophie observer to exceed every
other political question that the
people are now called upon to de-
termine,
"All the differences of opinion
respecting administrative reform, or
silver coinage, or free trade, or pro-
lection, or personal qualities as to
antecedents of candidates, in short
the whole ordinary array Of cleo
toral controversies, are, i'll compar-
ison, OF inferior, indeed of almost
trivial moment. Q
"We mean the question whether
those Southern States which have
inherited a negro population sur
s"ssing the number of their white
zens, shall, by federal law aud
military force, be subjected to the
political domination of negroes, to
negro legislatures, negro governors
and negro judges in their courts or
whether they shall continue to be
governed by white men as now.
"Now, it makes no difference
who may be president, or whom
the Republican party elects-since
Blaine is now permanently ont of
the line of power-that party is by
its nature and traditions under the
necessity of enacting aud executing
an election law whose purpose and
effect will be to put negroes in con-
troll Of several of the Southern
States.
"Theie will be some unwilling>
ness on the patriotic minority
among the Republicans, who will
revolt at the consequences of such
a measure. But their opposition
cannot avail. The necessity Of the
situation will suppress all such re-
sistance. A force bill is the first
and the inevitable result of a
sweeping Republican victory in
November.
"On the other hand and b, the
nature and necessity of the ideas
involved, the success of the democ-
racy is death to the force bill pro-
iect. Killed in this election it can
never be revived. In this view Of
the contest what conscientious De-
mocrat a hesitate about his duty
"Better vote for liberty and white
government of the Southern States,
even if the. candidate were the
devil himself. rather than consent
to the election of respectable Ben
jamin Harrison, with a force bill in
his pocket"
AND STILL ANOTHER.
In another editorial the Sua
quotes from the first two sections
of the platform down to the words
"the defeat of the force BILL" and
says, "this is the essential part o.
the platform on which Grover
Cleveland was nominated at Chi
cago yesterday morning, fairly
equarely and honorably, and by the
votes of more thar two-thirds o
the Democratic delegates"
AND STILL ANOTHER,
Another editorial quotes the
fable of the fool at Philippi, who
gave advice to the Roman Genera.
Octavius, which was not taken, and
commerds the fable to the atten'
ton of William @, Whitney, with
the suggestion that he keep hi
eyes peeled.
HIS WRITING TAGS IN.
Still another editorial says: al
is a matter of Importance to the de
mocracy of New York that Hill
should continue at the head of the
army he has done SO much to Or
ganize y and says, "New York
democrats are with him in failure
s.s in success, and he will be with
them as long as there is politica
principle to defend, a Republican
antagonist to outgeneral, or ar
election to carry for democracy
Hill thanks the Faithful.
