EXUM'S DUPLICITY Ex-
POSED.

A. RoscOwer, editor Goldsboro Head
light.l
" would rather prefer negro rul,
or anything to the rule we have hae
heretofore"
These are the e:rnet words uttered
IN my presence by DR.. Wyatt Patrick
Exum, of this county, the Third part,
nominee for Governor, and will be
vouched for at any time by Messrs
NJ. ]. Best and c. J. Rivenbark, oil
this city, Mr.. James M. Oliver, o1
Johnston county princeton P.O. J, and
Mr.. G. W. Pegram, Of Petersburg
Va, who were standing on Thurs
day afternoon, August 25th, 1892, in
front of the grocery department OF
Messrs. Best & Thompson, on East
Walnut street, listening to the usual
"sldewalk campaign of DR.. Exum.
In company with Mr.. Rivenbark,
was reviewing in the presence of DR..
Exum, the good done in this State
under the past and present Demo-
cratic administrations, and the danger
that threatened us in the event of Har-
rlson's election, which undoubtedly
means a Force bill and negro su-
premacy, when the above response was
made by the Weaverite candidate. It
is impossible on his part to deny a
single word, as | wrote it down as soon
as spoken and read it to DR.. Exum in
the presence of the above named four
gentlemen, telling him in the mean
time | would publish it to the world,
whereupon he remained as "dumb as
an oyster" A minute or two after
wards, he attempted to dodge "negro
rule,' but when confronted by all eye
witnesses finally acknowledged it.
About one hour after this occur
renee, DR.. Exum was standing at the
hotel corner talking with gentleman.
Thinking it another political discus
sion, | walked up and joined the con-
when | found it was all
about cotton. The gentleman wanted
to buy DIR. Exum's cotton, but owing
to the low price offered, the latter re-
fused to sell it. Just as was about to
leave and turn the corner, DR.. Exum
put his arm around my shoulder and
we walked into East Walnut street,
stopping nearly in front of HIPS
drug store. Here DR.. Exum urged
me to suppress the sentence he uttered
about negro rule, telling me that if ]
would consent to it and turn my paper
IN favor of the Peoples party, it would
-e the making of me, as he would
guarantee me 10000 subscribers.

tlons he speaks with no uncertain
sound. What he says he will do, he
will, if the opportunity comes.
IS not such a man as this the one
tor the people, one whom they can
implicitly rely upon at all times and
under all circumstances?
These lies against him cannot last,
for as Thomas Carlyle says, the great
est OF all gospels is this, that lie can
not live forever. As the people
awake to the misrepresentation, their
respect and devotion to the great Tri-
bune will increase and multiply.

THE BRIGHTER DAY.
BY GEORGE E. BOWEN.

When dreary weather. cold and wet,
Produces blues and melancholy.
Look back DER life and don't forget
That most of it was bright and Jolly.
There never was day of rain
But sunshine followed soon thereafter
And gloomy mood Or aching pain
Gave way to health and merry laughter
The bells of Time
viii ring their chime
OF mingled JOY and sorrow;
Yet the refrain
In hopeful strain,
Speaks sweetly for tomorrow.
When clouds of darkness hang their pail
Before the future you're exploring,
With patience wait for them to fall
In faith their threatening looks ignoring;
Their ''silver lining" soon will show
As Fortunes breeZes blow them over.
And just beyond the rosy glow
viii light your pathway through the
clover.
The ringing bells
Have tOlled their knells,
And now proclaim with pleasure
sunny day
That's come to stay,
Filled high with precious treasure

GOV. PATTISON.

It is evident by his recent actions that
Gov. Pattison of Pennsylvania has not
yet abandoned all political ambitions,
and that he is possessed by :..s unfortu-
nate delusion that he will gain strength
with workingmen by countenancing dis
order.
The situation at Homestead is exceed
ingly grave. Murder has been COM
mitted, armed forces have struggled
for the mastery in private warfare dis
regarding the law. Blood has been
shed and more blood will be shed if any
attempt is made to dislodge the work
men from the Carnegie property by
Pinkerton men, who are hated and dis
pissed by the locked out men, or by Sher-
ifs deputies, who will necessarily be
few and undisciplined.
The Carnegies have a right to the pos
session of their property. They look to
the State to protect them and to enforce
that right. An armed mob of 5000
men cannot be dispersed by constabul-
ary. Militiamen could restore order
without firing one shot or shedding
one drop of blood. If more trouble en-
sues, Gov. Pattison will have much to
answer for.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-07-08

stead men. Strikes occur more commonly
among comparatively well paid men
than among those poorly paid, as the
former are better able to bear the ex-
pense of idleness. The most bloody and
aggravated labor troubles of British his
tory were those at Sheffield, at a time
when men not infrequently earned "a or
f5 per week. Charles Reade has drawn
a thrilling picture of the bumptiousness
of labor leaders then, in "Put Yourself
in His Place." Now. however, when a
Sheffield file maker placidly accepts
27s. per week Cs6.4S) and thanks God
that German cutters haven't driven him
out Of business altogether, Sheffield
strikes are as rare as snakes in Ireland.
America against the world! Show us
any country where the standard Of
comfort for the average man is so ex-
acting, or where wages rule so high.
Show MS set of iron workers in all Eu-
rope earning Carnegie wages, or any
thing like them. Don't make the work
mems natural longing for more wages
impcl you to vote for a system which
would inevitably bring them less.

The Columbian party has decided to
support Cleveland, conditionally. AS it
will be able to poll at least one vote, the
fisherman of Buzzard's Bay is no doubt
in state of mingled gratitude and
anxiety at the announcement. The
Columbian voter, Mr.. James Means,
states in letter to the press that the
party, that is to say he, desires Cleve-
lands election "if he can be elected by
a body of voters who will support him
after he is elected"
Mr.. Means ought to be able to cast
the Columbian vote without scruple.
Mr.. Cleveland will be elected, if he is
elected, by Tammany, and Tammany
will support him, in that event, after
election tor feeding trough reasons.
But Mr.. Means love for Cleveland
seems to be based on his hatred of Tam
many, and, If he is particular as to the
kind of support the Columbian candi-
date is to have, then indeed there may

The point upon which Mr.. Means lays
most stress in his announcement of the
Columbian program is Bourke Cock
rams allegation, which he indorses, that
"Cleveland's Democracy is not objec-

argument against Cleveland's candi-

mensely in his favor, as indeed it would
be il true. Assuming its truth he in
vites Tammany to flock by itself and
serenely and innocently proposes ere
drawing of party lines" which shall
rally Republicans around that kind Of
Democracy which is mot offensive to
them.
This is the kind of support the sweet
dreamer seems TO have in mind when he
considers the ideal holding up of hands
for Cleveland after election. 1t is a
touching picture that he draws, the
tiger banished TO the woods and all good
men, without distinction of party, cut
ting bait for the 300-pound fisherman !;
but il is too beautiful to be realistic
Unfortunately Republicans do object to
Mr.. Cleveland's Democracy, and as de-
cidedly as to Tammany's. The Buz-
Yards Bay brand. AS the Columbian
mouthpiece defines it, is 1.-The Democracy
