In Halifax county in 1894 and in 1896,
the republicans used the populists to
put life into the dead hulk of the re-
publican party" In 1898, having
enough negro voters to win over a solid
white opposition, the republicans
have kicked their populists friends
overheard and decided to take all the
offices for themselves and leave the
populists out in the cold. That will
make those white office-holders, who
were willing to betray their race for
on afice, very sick. They ought to
quit filling their bellies with the husks
fed TO swine and help put an end to
negro domination in the state.-Ra-

WILLIAM J. BRYAN spoke at At. lanta, Ga, last week. His hearers were thrown into frenzy of on thnsiasm when in one of the speak CTS climaxos he referred to the readiness of Americans to meet q foreign foe who should attempt to land upon our shores. He said: ''Within tbe last two weeks we have had an illustration of the unity of the A American people in front ot danger which was pos- sible and probable. This danger they have met as one man, declar- ing their readiness to die in the detense of their country. It so happened that the representative of the United States at Havana wore the Confede crate uniform. And yet Fitzhugh Lee has dis charged his duty with such cour- age, such prudence, such patriot, ism, that you cannot find in all the Northland one man who would suggest his removal"
