Ihe action of the County Com
fnissioners in appointing judges OF .
election Is notice to tie world that !
the machine intends to c0mml1 T.
fraud. The v.I.oe.s Of the Peoples
party apPeared before the Comm.a-
Sol, Re IL eyery county and ASKED for
thc representation that Ihry were en-
,itIcj ro under the law. They rec
1mmend-d the names of the yer!
pest ard most competent men to th'
Commissioners TO be poll holders ID
-epr~sent the Peoples party.
Under the law the Democrats ar
entitled to a majority Of the judges
Of the election. The officers OF the
Democratic party select the men 10
represent that party. The Commis-
sioners alwsy appoint the men rec,
commended Dy the officers OF the
Democratic party. This Is night,
for the executive committee hho"
best What men esill represent that
party. Then IN al fairness and Just
mes, the Commissioner should ap-
point to represent the Peoples Party
the men recommended by the Off
GERS OF the Peoples Party. We chal-
| Ienge any honest man ia the Stat"
to say that this Is not right. But We
are receiving reports daily saying
that the Com missioncrs fatty refuse d
to appoint the men recommended 10y
the officers Of the Peoples Party for
the minority Of the Board Of Judges
Of the election. We are also Inform
ed that where the officers of the Re
publican party recommended names
that the Commissioners refused tc
appoint the men recommended.
Who did the Commissioners ap
point?
They appointed in nearly every
case three Democrats selected by the
Democratic machine, and two Rcpub
licans o. selected by the Democratic
machine. In nearly every count,
they entirely ignored the People
Party. They not only would no
appoint the men that we recommend
| ed, but they would not even tax
, any men from the Peoples Party O
their own selection.
What is the character of the Dem
ocratic poll holders appointed! L
those precincts where they intend t
cheat, they have selected men whom
they can rely on to cheat and swea
: TO false statements.
t What is the character of the Re
: publicans appointed! In those pre-
=. cincts where they intend to chea
i, they have selected for Judges of til
tlCtIIpIi tI IlutI HOI III LIti lillLCI q
colored men, or colored men who al
Democrats. That is, they hire a co
fraud. This makes him a good par
tisau Democrat. Then they tell thei
: hired colored man that he must vot
5 the Republican ticket, so no one wi
= suspect him of being in the pay {
/, ! the Democratic machine.
5 What does all this mean? 1t
C notice served on the people that th
1 Democratic machine intends
cheat, steal, commit fraud, swear
. false returns, commit perjury,
short do any thing to keep the Den
ocratic machine in power and d.
fraud the will of the people. Wi
u the people of North Carolina sui
, nit to it? The Reformers in Mort
n Carolina who have revolted again
J, the Democratic machine are la
t abiding, God fearing people. The
/. believe in peace and justice. Bt
! they Will not submit to such lnjuSti(
= and wrong as this. They have ;
& much patriotism as their forefathe
who threw off the machine, ring ru
of Great Britain in 1776. They hay
enough bravery and manhood to pr
i tect their votes which were won /
= the blood of the Revolutionary h
:. roes. They Will have fair electio
S this year or they will have no ele
ton. They will protect their ballo
Ii or they will put some Democrat
l. Registrars and Judges of the EIe
y ton into the Penitentiary, if thel
: is any>redress in the courts. MAJ
