THE COLOR LINE-WHo DRAWS TIP

THE COLOR LINE-WH0 DRAWS II?
CIV Watson and Bill Guthrie are both
unalterably opposed to mixed schools.
VIII Dan Russell stand up and tell
the negroes that he is?
Oliver Dockery is unalterably OPP
posed to mixed schools
VIII Dan Russell say TO the negroes
that he is?
The voter who wants to see the
negroes and whites in the same school
here will vote for Russell. Can you
keep such company?
The men who sneak about in the
dark indaming the ignorant negroes
are the first to howl that Democrats
are drawing the color line," when
they are caught at their infamous
politics.
The Morganton Herald this week
saws that in obedience to the orders
of secret negro meetings, held by
order of white leaders, one of the
missionaries sent out for that pur-
pose "cursed and abused old man John
Woodward this week in the vilest lam
guage because he understood John in
tended to vote the Democratic ticket"
The Herald adds:
"They are continually declaring
on the streets that a darley who
votes the Democratic ticket ought
to be hanged. Their terrorism
over those of their race w no think
of voting Democratic is something
terrific. And yet, in view of all
these facts, all Radical leaders
black and white, are very much
panied in their pious souls when
Democrat appeals to white men
to stand together. The negroes
constitute -fourths of the Re-
publican vote of the State and
they vote solidly for their ticket.
This being so, we appeal to white
men who love their race and their
homes and their civilization to vote
the straight Democratic ticket We
have no unkindness to the black
man, but he allows himself to be
made tool of by designing white
Radicals, who only use him as a
means of riding into office"
The Tarboro Southerner shows that
this spirit is not confined to the
West, but prevails in the East. We
quote:
Jordan Dancy in a speech in the
Court house Friday night urged
his hearers to vote for Mckinley
because he would stop lynching
in the South and then advocated
lynching any negro Republican
who did not vote for the county
fusion ticket"
The Fayetteville Observer tells the
same story of the terrorism that pre-
walls all over the State. Tt says:
ED Lomax, the colored man who
was reported to have been put in
Jail for an assault, it now turns
out, was jailed for intimidating a
voter. A colored man named
Chavis, had him arrested for
threatening his life if he voted for
Bryan. This is an old practice
with a number of negroes, and it
should be prevented. There are
undoubtedly thousands of color
ed men in North Carolina who
would vote for Bryan if it were
not that they fear being mobbed.
Only yesterday negro said to the
writer, I believe I will vote for
Bryan Then after a pause, No,
guess won't would be killed"
Are the good people of the State
to be under such rule as this, which
is only an earnest of what would fol
low the election of Russell?
1t can be averted if good citizens
will work earnestly and vigorously for
the next three days.

How Free Silver Would Injure the Peo-

Much has been said of the light fingered
gentry who attend the Bryan meetings
and relieve gentleman here and there OF
his watch and wallet Maybe, however,
the public is too hard on them. Their eff
forts to change the ownership of property
are ridiculously small compared with the
efforts of the boy orator. He proposes a
policy which would rob the owners of the
following property Of at least half, most
probably all, of it. We use round numbers:
Ten thousand millions of life insurance.
Ten thousand millions of railroad stocks
and bonds.
One thousand eight hundred millions Of
savings bank deposits.
One thousand seven hundred millions
deposited in national banks.
One thousand three hundred and fifty
million deposits in state and private banks
and trust companies.
Five hundred millions in building and

Many thousands Of millions due to the
institutions above named and from indi.

Bryan.s rncapacity For Understanding.

MIR. Bryan is certainly a remarkable
man, being still so young. wonder how.
he found time TO accumulate so enormous
Il store of nisinformation and to develop
so mature an incapacity for understanding
this subject | say this in all seriousness,
compelled by my respect for the exalted
office to which Mr.. Bryan aspires. Consid-
ering that for years the discussion OF these
questions has been his only business, ana
that he has remained SO entirely unac-
quainted with the most rudimentary OF
economic principles and with the most
conspicuous of business experience, we
must concede that he does not only not
know, but is unable tolearn. Imagine him
as president of the United States parading
such childish absurdities in his messages.
1t would make us tine laughing stock Of
the world, and every self respecting Amer
lean would hang his head in shame. -

HE WAS a GENTLEMAN.
Feelings of an Outlaw Worked Upon
by Sheriff.

When the Sheriff went over from
Golden Hill to Lucky Valley after Jim
sanders who was wanted for shooting
Ian Williams in a quarrel over a game
OF cards, he didn't even take a gun
along. He found his man in a saloon.
and asked him to step up and take a
drink. Jim complied, but kept a hand
on his gun. When they had drunk
they sat down and the Sheriff told
three or four funny stories. BY and
by the puzzled Jim broke out with:
See here, Joe, did you come over
after me?'
wal, thought you might want to
jog along back with me-" was the re-
ply.
Not much; Til never be taken
alive
Then that settles it. Let's hev an
other drink
They drank again, and the official
told very funny story about ten
derfoots experience in Golden City.
Jim laughed as loudly as the others.
but presently grew serious and said:

Wall, we won't worry about that.

other nip and then a game of cards"
The game lasted until the Sheriff had
lost about $50. Then he ordered drinks
and sang a song. When the song was
finished he said to Sanders:
Jim, hewitt I made things pleasant
fur you to-day?"
You hev, Joe, and no mistake
Treated you like a gentleman. hewitt

You certainly hev.'
That's my way of doing things. Now

But L shot Dan Williams over thar"

Il s'pose not, but see how nice I've
used we. Would any other Sheriff hev
done it?'

"Of course not, and if you are hung.

What Government Can Do.

I will tell you what this Government
can do alone. It can fix it's money unit !:
it can declare by law what shall be the
relative value Of an ounce of gold and
an ounce of silver, but it cannot make
that last declaration good We can of
ourselves, of our own wisdom, declare
the unit Of value. We can coin silver
freely, but We cannot make sixteen
ounces of silver equal to one ounce of
gold unless it is. And it is not unless
the merchants take it at that rate.
That is where all this thing comes in.
1t Is trade; 1t Is the merchant; it is the
man who exchanges and deals in these
things that fixes their relative value;
and if you do not take the value he
fixes, the gold dollar will go back to the
gold vault, and the gold will go out of
circulation. In this connection these
gentlemen say: why, did not we win
the battle of Bunker Hill? Didn't we
whip the British at Yorktown? And do
you mean to say we can't do it again ?'

Charles Sumner, Lyman Trumbull, Mu-
rat Halstead, Horace Greeley, Carl
Schurz and other eminent members of
the party. The organization took the
name of Liberal Republicans" and
nominated Horace Greeley and B. Gratz
Brown. This action was indorsed by the
Democrats, and the result was an over
whelming defeat. In 1884 there was a
detection from the nomination of Blaine
led by George William Curtis, but they
did not offer another ticket but con-
tented themselves with opposition, with
"Harper's Weekly" as their organ The
detection from the nomination Of Cleve-
land in 1854 resulted in a ticket led by
General Benjamin F. Butler, on a
Greenback platform, which was de-
feated, though it was supported in the
inost able and enthusiastic manner by
the New York Sun"
The Prohibition party has been one
of the most tenacious of the minor par
ties. In 1872 it nominated James Black
of Pennsylvania, but polled only 5,60S
votes. In 1876 it nominated General
Green Clay Smith. who re-
ceived about 10000 votes, and
in 1880. with Neal Dow as the
standard bearer, it had about the same
number of votes. In 1883 this party
aroused considerable enthusiasm and
its electors, with General Clinton B.
Fisk as the nominee, received 246, 500
votes. the boom having begun in 1884,
when John p. st. John received upward
of 10000 votes
The Greenback party also had it's day
of hope. In 1876 Peter Cooper and Sam
Carey were the nominees and polled
1000 votes. In 1880, with Weaver as
its nominee, it reached the flood tide of
its prosperity, and polled no less than
30d, l4O votes, but in 1884 it fell back
to 1880.
In the campaign of 1888 there We're
two labor tickets and a ticket of the
American Protective Association in the
field. The Union Labor ticket headed
by Streeter, received IA, ,60S votes, and
the United Labor gave it's candidate
but 3,O79 votes. Candidate Curtis of
the American Protective Association
received 1851 votes
The Farmers Alliance displayed more
strength than any of the other offshoots
from the old parties. They succeeded in
electing three United States Senators
and several members of the House, and
since their union with the Populists
have been making successes and fail
ures in various States, gaining as
hole, probably, and now a!iiliating
naturally, as they were the original free
silver party, with that wing of the
Democratic party that is Hopping under
the Chicago platform.
While, therefore, it is true that, as in
the case of the Republican party, a
third party has grown into a colossal
and dominant organization, the history
of the third parties is that they have
been principally successful only in iso-
lated localities, and important only as
adJuncts of one or the other of the
leading rganiZations.-Wash shington
