THE DOUGLASS RESOLUTION
The North CaroIinians Are Very
Indignant.
DENOUNCE THE LEGISLATURE
Carolinians in Norfolk Feel That a
Great Outrage Has Been Per-
petrated. The Legislature
Composed Of a Hard
Set of Men.

The action of the North Carolino
Legislature in adopting the resolu-
tons on the death of Frederick
Douglass was the most discussed
topic on the streets of this city yes
terday. and everyone had an opinion
to offer on the conduct OF the Old
North State lawmakers, and the
opinions Of North Carolinians now
in Norfolk we're not at all compli.
mentary to the men who voted to
honor the memory of Douglass and
refused to pay such honors to the
memory of Washington and Lee.
\ very large per cent. OF the bust
ness mon of Norfolk are natives of
North Carolina and are proud of
their Stute. The VIRGINIAN talked
to u number OF them about the &C.
ton of the Legislature in passing
the resolution of respect and adj
iourning in honor of the death of
Fred Douglass. The North Carroll
mans of Norfolk are disguised. One
gentleman said he saw Fred Doug
lass several years ago in Washing
ton, and he was satisfied that he was
more OF a gentleman and n patriot
than the white renegades who had
refused to pay proper respect to the
memory of Washington and Lee,
Another prominent North Caro-
Imam said, "My grand old State is
in disgrace and will be denounced
from ono end of tho country to the
other. L am sorry for it, but what
could We expect when such q cluss
OF political roughs have charge of

There is one consolation, North
