have shown that they could not be
united on any plan that would sacri-
fee these principles and take in the
Cleveland goidbugs and the Roth
sehi!d railroad "overseer.1
We have shown that the only hope
Of the goldbugs and monopolists to
capture the next legislature was to
prevent such a cooperation of the
people who held like opinions on these
great aid important questions. We
have used arguments in support Of
this position that not 3 single pspsr
in tbs State has attempted 10 answer,
because they could not.
But what course have those who
opposed such a white mans fight in
the interest Of the people pursued:
They have replied TO these arguments
with abuse, and have deliberately each
day been sowing the seeds Of race
prejudice and trying 10 "infame the
people with cries of Niger go they
would close their eyes to the facts
and arguments presented to expose
the schemes of the gold and railway
organs to capture the State behind tie
niger cry. Their campaign on this
line has already begun"
Now We submit to the verdict of the
people of the State, who is appealing
to the reason and Judgement of
the voters, and who is appealing TO
their "prejudices and passions?'
Yes, 1.-The people of North Carolina
will be indefensibly foolish if they al
low themselves next year to take cOun-
sci of their passions instead of their
senses"
We do not believe the people will al
low their passions and preiudices to
be aroused when they see that it is
| being done for an Interior purpose
We have the utmost confidence in the
verdict Of the people when the facts
are placed before them and they pass
| judgment according to their reason
and senses.
The facts shall be put before the
people and we have the greatest conf.
dence in their verdict.

The hold that Henry George had up-
on the affections of the people of New
York is evidenced by the fact that no
such funeral was ever seen in that CITY
excepting that of ex-President Grant.
If he had lived he might have been
elected Mayor. He was rapidly. gain
ing ground daily. He was the only
candidate who stood on the platform
OF Thomas Jefferson, yet the so-called
Democratic papers of this State on.
posed him and hoped for the triumph
OF the corrupt Tamany organization
which refused to endorse BRYAN or
stand on tn. Chicago platform. When
the news came that Tamany had car.
rled New York city, the Wilmington
Messenger threw up its hat with low
and shouted: Behold results. and IL
you are Democrats throw I'D your hats
and split the welkin." No true Dem.
ocrat can rejoice at the success of the
rotten Tammany!crowd. Neither can
a true Democratic paper be a railroad
organ, and that is what is the matte,
with the Messenger.

AN UNJUST BANKRUPrCY BILL

We are surprised TO find the follow
ing in the editorial columns of the Will
min gton Messenger:
The newspapers continue To ham,
mer away upon bankruptcy bill. The
commercial centers feel the neces-
sity of general law reaching every
State and uniform throughout all sec
tons OF the country. Several Con-
crosses had bill before them. 1t is
believed that what is known as the
Torrey bill is preferable to any other
plan."
Surely the editor of the Messenger
has never read Torrey's bankruptcy
bill. But even if he has not read it there
Is no excuse for such lamentable ig-
nOrance about measure so dangerous
and one that has been before the pub
lie so long. The bad and oppressive
features of the bill were thoroughly
ventilated in the Senate during the last
session of Congress. 1t is a kind of
measure that gives pleasure to heart.
less goldbugs and monopolists who
md happiness and misery and suffer-
ing OF the people. Every Populi.',
silver Republican and nearly every
silver Democrat voted solidly against
the bill and succeeded in defeating
the same. How any one who is a
Christian and who is a fair and lust
man could favor such a bankruptcy
bill, or indeed favor any bankruptcy
bill that contsins an involuntary feat
ure, is beyond our comprehe nsion
Last spring when this measure wa.
before Congress The Caucasian thor
oughly ventilated it, and showed that
if the bill was passed it should be en-
titled bill to create bankrupts. for
the involuntary feature in this bill
would force twice as many men into
bankruptcy as the number that would
be relieved by it. Unless the Messen.
ger has made up its mind to stand in
with the gold and monopoly crowd it
ought to inform itself to some extent
at least in matters SO important before
giving editorial endorsement to them
