A GAR o.

The man Tor meL) who circulated
the report that, in my speech OF &C
ceptance Tuesday night. August %,
said was in favor Of negro supremacy
is either fool who could not compre-
bend what I was Talking about, and
therefore not responsible or he is Il
miserable vicious liar who would pre-
fer to stay at night in a cemetery,
than meet truth in broad day light.
Such a man is worse than a splenetic
hearted hypocrite, than pietistical
deadbeat.
now solemnly denounce the whole
thing as miserable lie and assert that
said no such thing, nor anything
which could be distorted into the
above and retain any semblence of it's
originality. Having given the lie to
some one whose identity il unknown
to me. desire to say to the French
gentleman, that Knight Errantry was
truth, and the fou'est insult you can
offer man since the Crusades is, "you
lie"
No man is more submissive to truth
than L, yet l hope no one is quicker
to resent a lie.

On Thursday next the Navy
Department will open bids fol-
the construction of three more
bat leships, which, in addition
to those now building, will
include a total Of eight frst>rate
ships, equal to the best of their
displacement in the world.
These vessels were authorized
by the last Congress and were
originally designed for 10 knot
speed Oh trial trip Since bids
were asked the Secretary has
directed q provision for Is knots
speed, and upon the nature of
the bids depends whether the
present designs will stand or
the vessels be replauned entire
ly. Only three firms will prob
ably bid on the vessels, the
Cramps, the Newport News
Company aud the Union Iron
Works, which have constructed
all the battleships for the navy.

Economist

Economist.
In another coIu5nn will he fount
a card from Mr.. Isaac NJ. Meekins
candidate for S )licitor on the Re-
publiran ticket. in which he deni.
the report that his speech of accept
ance was of an infamatory nature
and Iandered to negro prejudice.
We herewith publish certificates OF
some of our respected citizens cen
firmatory Of said report. See what
they say:
ELF. CRY, \. G., Sep. /, 9S.
We, The undersigned citizens of
Fasquotank county, say, that we
were in the hearing of MIR I. NJ.
| Metkins at the time that he made
his speech accepting the nomination
of Solicitor by the Republican con
vel ton. The same was infamatory
and calculated to arouse race PIE
JUDGE, and he did pander to the
negroes
w. S. DUNToN,
GEO. MADRIN,
W. NJ. JENNINGS,
M. L. WHEDBEE.
Now, white men, what think We
of this A young man who comes
before you as candidate for one of
the most responsible offices in. the
judiciary of the district, writing
such a card of denial in the face of
such testiomny. We have no harsh
words or feelings for young Mr.. |
Meekins but he is not fit for the |
office which he aspires to in the |
first district, His ''vaulting ambi-
ton has overleaped ITSELF. He is
unfit by attainments, by personal
association, and has rendered him
self unfit by the unfortunate speech
which he denies, but which respect,
able citizens of our town testify to
his having made. He is unfit by
youth and want of experience as
lawyer. He is not fully ripe and
should tarry yet in Jericho, until
his beard grows.
Most of all, young Mr. Meekins is
unfit for the office, from his miser-
able backers-the ignorant negroes
and low whites that compose the
Republican party. The persons
hat have placed him in nomination
ire the persons that most largely
compose the criminal docket, and
lis duty would be to prosecute his
friends.
