NEGROES DRAW THE COLOR
LINE"

The extracts from the speech of Hon.
F. M. Simmons. at Bayboro. published
elsewhere, will not fail to arrest public
attention in North Carolina. AS evil
dence of the truthfulness of what Mr..
Simmons says we give below the state
ment made yesterday by a member of
the Populist State Executive commit
tee. He said, in a private conversa-
ton:
six months ago there were 3d.
900 negroes in the Populist party
in North Carolina. Two years ago
nine-tenths Of the country negroes
declared themselves Populists.
Within the last sixty days, the Re
publican managers have sounded
bugIe call, and they have gone back
to the Republican party, though
they know the gold standard is inn
pOyerishing them and robbing
their families. Here and there one
sticks to silver, but he is as rare as
a Republican negro was in the
country two years ago.
"What does it mean? Tt means
what it always means. If the ne
gro draws the color line, the white
men will be forced in self-defence
to unite to protect themslevs. Ii
they don't unite this year land
they ought to and defeat RusselD
they will come together unless the
Anglo-SaXon blood has become
servile and Anglo-SaxOn manhood
become purchaseable."

Some 100000 900 have been drawn out
of the State banks of Nebraska. in the
last three years, it is estimated, by peo-
pie who needed their savings to meet
living expenses. 81 correspondent of
the United States Investor, writing
from that State, finds evidence of the
hard times in the appearance of the
cities. The towns need paint, he says,
and 'fthe houses are in a rundown
condition owing to the lack of money
to fix up" With these hard conditions
brought about by the gold standard,
is there any wonder the people want
a change? A vote for Bryan as vote
to change present conditions. A vote
for Mckinley is equivalent on THE
money question to giving Cleveland a
third term.

THE REGISTRATION DECISION.

We publish elsewhere the decision of
the Supreme Court on the registration
case brought up from Forsyth.
The old court, four or five years ago
held that il could not altar a statute
that turned men away from the polls
for failure TO give their full names and
exact places of residence, because the
Legislature had power 10 pass such a
law.
The new court, IN which all parties
are represented, find themselves power
less to prevent a convicted felon from
registering because they do not find
it written in the act that the registrar
may make any inquiry about the mat
ter. The result is that a released con-
Wet may offset the vote of the best
citizen in the land unless upon chal-
lenge the record Of his conviction can
be produced.
Neither partisan nor non-partisan
courts cap make laws; they can only
construe them as they find them writ
ten All the same, the present election
law was so drawn by ID. +. Russell as to
make it possible to resort to illegal
methods to swell a partisan vote, and
it is being so used.

CONGRESSIONAL FUSION.

A telegram last night from Chicago
contains this paragraph:
THE members of the Populist
Executive committee had a confer
ence to-day with Chairman Jones,
of the Democratic National COM
mittee, to arrange, if possible, for
the completion of fusion arrange
ments in Congressional districts
where this has not been brought
about"
Early in August, Hon. Clement Man
ly, chairman of the Democratic State
committee, in letter to the chairman
of the Populist committee urged it as a
duty on both parties to make such ar
rangements as would send a solid dele
cation of silver men to Congress from
North Carolina. To that suggestion
Mr.. Manly never received any reply.
A few days ago he renewed it in view
of the danger of gold men being elected
in three or four districts. On Monday
night, the Central committee renewed
the offer, in view of the suggestion of
certain Populists that fusion on Con-
gressm!en could only be arranged by
fusion all along the line.
Nine silver men ought to go to the
House from North Carolina. They can
easily be elected if the Populists are
DESTROYS of having it done The Demo
Gratis have publicly urged it since the
first week of August. They still urge
it as the only way to secure silver leg
islation. In this the Populist and
Democratic National committees con-
cur. What stands in the way?

ONLY ONE MORE DAY TO REGIS
TER.


Next Saturday is the last day for
registration. If your name does not
go on the books on that date, you can
not vote. The Republicans, supplied
as they are with abundant money,
have employed agents to go all over the
State to see that every negro voter is
registered. The Democrats appeal
only to the patriotism of the people to
come out and stand firm against the
determination to put Russell and his
gang in control of thd State. Let every
patriot devote next Saturday to get
ting every good citizen registered in
his voting precinct.

WILL NOT VOTE FOR A GOLDBUG.
Mi8M ZEIEIyynrs----@-slsiF slsis5i7.l.

News comes from almost every
township in the State that there is
great dissatisfaction over the so-called
fusion in many counties by which the
Populists are expected to vote for gold
bugs for the Legislature, and that
many Populists declare that they will
scratch every gold-Dug who is put on
their ticket.
There is nothing else for a consistent
Populist to do. The success of McKin-
ley and Pritchard, by reason of trades
with local goldJbugs for local offices,
would eternally disgrace the Populist
party. TO avert this disgrace, honest
Populists will vote for no gold-bugs.
