sir, it is slander upon the character
and intelligence of our fair State"
Guthrie: "Your platform favors it,"
Governor Jarvis: 1T is untrue. If
we had wanted to put these people
under such a constitution and laws,
God knows we have had ample oppor-
tunity to do so. No party has done
so much for the colored man in North
Carolina as the Democratic party"
The general sentiment among the
crowd is that Governor Jarvis had
much the better of the debate and
scored many hard hits. When Maj
Guthrie taunted Governor Jarvis with
the corruption under n Democratic
election law Jarvis answered that it
was true that some fraud was thus
practiced in elections by the Demo
Gratis, but that he could name at least
six of such Democratic participants
who were now leading the Populist
party.
The Populists and Democrats are
| nearly agreed here in the support of
