AMENDMENTS TO ELECTION LAW.

A bill was introduced in the House
on Feb. "a, by Representative Parker
OF Perquimans, and in the Senate by
Senator Atwater to amend the cleo
ton law of North Carolina. This
Dill simply amended those parts Of
the law that were used as a cover for
fraud In the late election. The Sem
ate committee reported "unfavora-
ble' on the bill and it was on mo-
ton tabled by the Senate. The bill
met the same fate in the House.
The bill was not allowed to come
up for discussion, but was tabled to
prevent discussion. We have a copv
of the amendments before us. It is
more Democratic than the present
law, unless the word Democratic
has degenerated with the party till
1T means dishonesty. This bill amend
ed the sections under which the
cheating of the last election or rath-
er count was done. We challenge
any honest man to show that the
amendments are not fair, just and
needed If you are to have free bal
lot and an honest count. The peo-
pie shall know why these amend
ments were not passed. We will
publish the bill next week and COM
ment on it by sections. Before we
let up on this election business we
propose to turn on some light that
will make the corrupt scoundrels
who did the stealing at the late cleo
ton, howl and hide their heads in
shame, unless they are shameless.

THE ALLIANCE CHARTER.

Last week We promptly denounced
the amendments which the Legisla-
ture tackled on to the State Alliance
Charter; we denounced them not on.
ly as grossly unjust, but as being
prompted by mean and cowardly
spirit. We offered two amendments
as President of the Alliance, that
covered every objection that has been
made; this forced the Legislature to
show its hand. Their real object was
to destroy the Alliance; so they eau
cussed on the matter for week, and
then tackled on some other amend
ments that are meaner than anything
that has ever before dlsgraced the
statute books of the State. The AL
liancemen present certainly did not
see the full meaning and purport of
these amendments, or they would
have fought them to the last; and as
last resort, if they were defeated,
they should have entered protest on
the journals of both houses; denoun-
cling the measure, and exposing the
designs of the sneaks and towards
behind it. We regret that they did
not do this. The men who have com
mitted this wrong will hereafter try
to claim that the amendments we're
satisfactory to all parties. We here
and now in advance denounce such a
claim as false.
