Without issuing a direct order,
Secretary Smith has allowed it

a number of employees in the In

ceeded the most sanguine eXpec-
tations Until the formal report
is made 20 Secretary Herbert the

weakness without success. The

Then and Now.
A couple weeks ago the editor
of the Maxton Blade, a colored
man, gave some very good rea-
sons why the colored men OF
North Carolina should not sup
port the fusion between the ma
nipulators of the Republican ma
chine, and among other reasons
cited the fact that the Republi
can bosses who were most active
in bringing about the fusion were
the men who were at the bottom
of the movement few years
ago to drive the colored man out
of theRepublican party and'organ
izea white,man' 'sRepublican party
The movement fizzled out simply
because these Republican leaders
couldn't carry it out. He cited the
fact also that Marion Butler wht
is now appealing for colored sup
port for his fusion, opposed tht
building of schools for coloreC
children: and he might have
called attention to the fact, also
that Marion Butler, who is nov
trying to train with the negro
calls his two papers the Coatc0
sian, or the White Man, in con
tradistinction to the negro. Capt
w. II. Kitchin is now doing some
missionary work for the combi
nation freak. What he though
about the negro in 1884 is told b,
the Raleigh Ne,cs Dc Observer
which produces an extract from
his speech opening the campaign
at Raleigh thus;
But with all my Democracy,

cate of a government by achit
men, by the virtue, by the intelli
gence Of this county; [ STAN

ed man for his support. I fee
honestly that l have no right t.

great God who rules the deStinie
of nations has made the differ

will never, so help me God, ur
dertake to reconstruct the work
of God himself. Now I say to tn
