THE LEGISLATURE DEMOCRATIC.

A few days ago Chairman Holton
gave out claim that the anti-Demo-
crafts would have 1876 members out Of
a total of no in the next General AS
sembly.
Two or three Of the best informed
Democrats in the State were going
over the situation in all the counties
and Senatorial districts last night, and
they figured out that the Democrats,
including the members from the fifteen
counties in which there is fusion be
tween the Democrats and Populists,
would be able TO control both branches
of the General Assembly, electing q
out of the so State Senators, and II
out of the 120 members of the House.
To effect this happy result will require
united and vigorous and determined
action during the remainder of the
campaign, but the arrogance and
swagger and impudence of the Repub-
licans, and the danger of corrupt and
vicious rule that would follow their
success, has stimulated the patriotic
people of the State to an exertion that
ten days ago seemed impossible to Sc
cure. From every section of the State
comes news that most of the Populist
voters will support no gold-bug, or no
man who will support a gold-bug, and
that they viii vote for the nominees
for the Legislature who stand strong
est for silver. The feeling against
the return of Senator Pritchard to the
Senate is so strong that the Legislative
candidate, no matter what his poll
ties, who will not pledge himself to
vote against Pritchard, stands no
chance of getting silver votes. Let
the silver men keep this issue to the
front until the polls close, and the pa
ttriotic people viii elect a Legislature
that will be representative of the vir
tue and intelligence of the State.

MIR. HOLTON'S ENORMOUS REGIS
TRATION OF ILLEGAL NEGRO
VOTERS"


A few days ago some reference was
made in these columns to the article
of Mr.. Creelman in the New York
World. The story was evidently in
spired by Chairman Holton, the Re
publican chairman, who has been
boasting for week that '1the big ne
gro registration insured Republican
success in North Carolina" 1t is Hol-
toms only hope, for he knows that
fewer white men will vote for Rus
sell than ever before supported can
didate for Governor in North Carolina.
But, while Dragging and boasting a
bout the registration through means
of which he ought to be ashamed, Mr..
Holton forgot his prudence and admit
ted to Mr.. Creelman that the "enor-
NOUS registration of UNQUALIFIED
VOTERS was his dependence. Here
is the statement in full as printed
by Mr.. Creelman, a McKinleyite, in
the World:
"But Mr. Holton, the Republican
State chairman, said to me to-

votes TO Mckinley by a majority

If the frank avowal to a New Yorker
of having secured this sEN0RM0US

patriotic people of the State to a re-

methods at any sacrifice, we have UNI

SUNDAY,
SMASH THE COAL TRUST.


The management of Shaw Universe
ty has begun the publication of a
monthly journal called the Sentinel,
from the first number of which we
quote the following:
1--WE feel like saying, Smash the
coal trust" When coal in such
hard times as these retails for
eight dollars a ton, how about the
man with large family, who
earns only ten or twelve dollars
month, and perhaps less? The
price of coal is q serious problem
for Shaw. Our coal bill viii be
at least twelve hundred dollars,
and where is the money coming
from?'' Smash the coal trust"
There is but one way to smash
the coal trust" 1t is plain, easy and
simple. The trust exists in defiance
of law. All that is needed to ''smash
the coal trust" is to put a man ia the
White House who will have it's of
ficers and owners prosecuted. In a
recent speech, Mr.. William j. Bryan
said:
1.-THE trusts of this country, with
their representatives are collect
ing tribute from the people, and
they call us disturbers of the peace
and Anarchists.
81 am opposed to Trusts. As
an executive, / Shall use what
power I have to drive every trust
out of existence.
IF present laws are not suf-
ficient to meet this evil, /, if elect
ed, will recommend such laws as
viii.
IF the Constitution of the Uni
ted States is so construed as to
prevent any interference with the
operations of the trust, ] shall
recommend such amendment to
the Constitution as will permit
the punishment of these men"
This declaration, taken in connee-
tion with his consistent fight against
trusts and monopolies, shows that if
elected the coal trust would have in
him an inveterate foe.
What does Mckinley say about the
coal trust? Nothing at all The
trust, through Mark Hanna, has con-
tributed to the election of Mckinley,
as have adj other trusts and other il
legal corporations. Mr.. Hobart, the
running mate of Mckinley, gets $780,
900 a year as attorney or agent of
a railroad syndicate which is inter
ested in putting up the price of coal,
and of course the coal trust wants
the ticket elected
Smash the coal trust" is the COR
rect sentiment, but it is an idle de-
claration unless those making it vote
for the only candidate who is opposed
by the trust because it knows he will
smash" it.

an election must fall on them. ne is
useless to say the Democrats should
have taken down their ticket, for one
has only to look at the vate Of 1892
and 1894, to see what was and is the
strength Of the two parties, and every
candid mind viii say our committees

Judge, four Congresmen and the Uni-
ted States Senator, and we the Gov
ernOr, Auditor, Attoruey-General, su-
periutendent Of Public Instruction,

Judge.
Our offer being rejected, we win
make the fight, believing that our peo-
pie will never allow Russell 70 sue

shows if we do our duty and work
we can and viii win. Let all men in

him by a handsome majority.

Again, while we felt certain that
we could elect Mr.. Watson Governor,
still we knew the means the Republi-
cans were resorting to, by illegal regis
tration, of cOlored men under age, who
are not bona fide residents, or are
ex-conyicts, and so to avert even the
possible chance of Russell and his
gang controlling the State, we offered
the Populists honorable and fair flu
sion, giving them half Of the State
offices and pledging ourselves to elect
Mr.. Guthrie United States Senator.
Such a fusion would at least have kept
the State in the hands of the white
people of the land, while now if we are
defeated, it passes under the control
of one, who seems from his speeches,
to hate the best type of true men. In
making the offer, the committee has
my hearty APPROVAL, and after going

say, it would have been approved and

parties.

Lee Fairchild, a Republican orator,
referred to Mr. Bryan as chat thief
from Nebraska" On Wednesday night,
in the same city Edward Lanterbach,
Republican chairman, said
"You ere fighting to-day for just
as important a principle as ala
those brave men in 1861. But It IS
a bloodless fight No blood will be
shed--at least not yet, but If they
attempt to subyert your Supreme
Court, If they should succeed, by
any chance, in foisting upon you
these horrible doctrines-AnaT
chistic, Socialistic and Communis
tic-which THAT platform, adopted
by this Populistic brood, contains,
WE WILL NOT ABIDE BY THAT
DECISION"
LesIie's Weekly last week said 'Mr.
Bryan scenes TO exult in the fact that
the vicious, the lawless and the turbu-
lent support his candidacy"
Bourlle Cochran said not long ago:
win you submit to this con.
spiracy between the professional
farmers. the farmers who cultivate
the quarrels of their neighbors,
farmers who labor with their jaws,
Populist agitatOrs Of the West and
the unreconciled shareholders OF
the South? This is conspiracy
between professional farmers, who
want to pay low wages, and the un-
reconciled Shareholders, who would
like to pay no wages at all"
Ten days ago Gen. Palmer, decoy
candidate for President, said
"For myself / would prefer to
live under a righteous monarchy
rather than submit to such prin-
ciples as those declared by the
Chicago convention.
Only last week J. Sterling Morton,
of Cleyeland's cabinet, said:
The finance which they teach
is entirely Confederate fiat. In the
Southern Confederacy the same
leaders who now are in command
of the picket guards, for free silver
at 16 to 1. were leading financiers.
And Harris, Pugh, Morgan, and
the other Confederate Generals

they failed to bring about by arms

We group these expressions together
this morning for the purpose of show
ing the spirit that characterizes the
advocates of the gold standard. These

LET Us BE HONEST WITH OUR
SELVES.

SELVES.
Shall we stand idly by and see Mr.
Russell illegally elected Governor OF
this State?
Is it not almost as wrong in law
abiding citizens to see the election
law violated and illegal votes cast as
IL is to aid in casting illegal votes3
Has citizen moral right to fail
to protect his legal rights and to sub
iect his wife and children to the dam
eers Of a rule dictated by the worst
class Of negroes?
Has Mr.. Russell in open day light,
addressed his fellow citizens and as
sured them that if chosen Governor
he will be the Governor Of all the peo-
pie alike and will protect the inno-
cent and punish the guilty?
Has not Mr.. Russell, in darkness, in
famed the prejudices and passions OF
the bad negroes and given them undue
importance and increased their power
for evil?
Every body respects a good law
abiding negro citizen. But will the
white people who bear the burden
OF taxation and conduct of affairs of
State and county submit to the con-
troll of vicious negroes?
Ask your wives if negro influences
prevail whether or not they viii trust
their children along the familiar paths
to the Sunday school and public
schools?
It win not affect the rich like it
viii the poor They can send their
children to the great schools in the
cities. They are not afraid of mixed
schools. They can hire teachers for
their children. If they do not like
government chosen and controlled
by negro influences they can move
away. The farmer and farm-worker
and mechanic cannot go away. They
are as much a part of the State as
it's hills and rivers. Shall they be
humbled because they are poor?
It is very well for the man who is
hired by corporations or companies or
individuals at comfortable salaries to
talk lightly of mo fear of negro doni-
nation There is danger of it! Dam
ger to that worthiest of all parts of
every community and they feel it.
They shudder when they think of it.
How can it be avoided? The ballot
can prevent it. Let every man who
loves his neighbor determine to beat
Russell and what he represents. You
can tell what that will be by what
he has been. But how can we beat
Russell? BY voting in whatever way
will do it. No matter what that way
is so it is right. it does not matter
about names or men. 1t is che prin-
ciple of the thing. A prejudice against
name or a man that is SO obstinate
as to prefer putting our white men,
women and children under the worst
negroes is a shame, a sin, crime in
the man who hides it in heart or let's
it leap from his lips.
However we white men of the State
NAV have differed about great matters
and small matters, we can at least
unite on a. common cause against the
Tyranny of negro rule and the horrors
that it will carry in its trail.

unprecedented. The unsullied per-
