why WE CRY 'NiGGER."

The Re-pop-licans at home, aided by
Senator Pritchard and Colonel James
Il. Boyd, are declaring that the Demo
Gratis have no reason to urge the white
men to unite to put an end to negro rule.
These Federal officerholders get $4,000
year to talk that way. Hear what a
Republican in Careteret county SAYS:
Newport, n. c., Sept. -.
Il wish to renounce my connection
with the Republican party. My reasons
for doing so are that l believe that white
men should rule North Carolina, and
was convinced at the last Republican
State convention, which / am sorry to
say | attended as a delegate, that the
Republican party is composed chiefly of
negroes and the trend of the party is to
place the negro more and more over
the white race. And now | pledge my
self to vote and use all my influence for
the success Of the white mans party.
IL. w. PERKINS, NJ. d."
The Democrats have no hostility to-
ward the negro. They will treat him
with fairness and justice anu kindness
But they will not let him rule over
white men, Dr. Perkins is one of very
many Republicans who do not hold office
who see that '|the trend of the Repub-
lican party is to place the negro more
and more over the white race" The
civilization of the State demands that
the elevation of the negro over the white
man be ended.

for such men who prostitute the Popullst
party to serve the Republicans.
Fair elections! Honest poll-holders'
This is the cry of the Populist leaders.
And in the face of this cry they name
a convicted thief as registrar. Ban!
1t is enough to make buzzard sick!
In order that the Popullst leaders may
not be able to dispose of this charge by
calling it a Democratic lie, we insert
the following certificate from the Clerk
of the Superior Court of Moore county
North Carolina,
Moore County.
|. d. A. Mcdonald, Clerk of the SUI
perior Court of Moore cbounty, 10 here
by certify that J. w. Todd was convicted
of larceny and receiving at March Term,
1893, of the Superior Court of said coun-
ty, before the Honorable Spier Whita-
ker, Judge, and sentenced to four months
imprisonment in the county jail.
In testimony whereof, / hereunto set
my hand and affix the seal of said court
this 23d day of October. 1896.
ID. A. MCDONALD,
Clerk Superior Court Moore Co.
And if you doubt that John w. Todd,
the convicted felon, is n registrar for
precinct No. 3, Windsor township, Ber-
tie county, go look on the list at the
court house door, and if the rain has
washed it down ask Mr.. Erwin Pritchard,
the Populist Chairman Of the Board of
Commissioners. And yOu can also find
out by asking Sheriff Burden, or his dep
uty, if he has had a notice of Todd
appointment to be served on him.
This is what fusion has brought the
great Populist party to. You may lie
down with the dogs, but you will get up
full Of fleas.
Honest men who left the Democratic
party on principle see where you are
drifting! -Four years ago your fusion
with the Republicans was to rebuke the
Democrats. Two years ago it was to
elect Pritchard. Now 1t is to have a
convicted thief named as your represen-
tative in conducting a fair election. In
the name of the decent white people of
BERTHE county, in the name of all the
honest electors of this grand old com
munity, in the name Of responsibility, de-
cency and common honesty. we protest
against naming Il convicted felon as
registrar. The party that does it is
doomed. The men who have it done
are in desperate straights Is it possible
that n felon is n true representative of
the Populists in precinct No. 3, Windsor
township! 1t cannot be! Yet one is
named as such.

THE MINOR" NEGRO OFFICIAL.

The negroizers have been claiming in
ern North Carolina that the negro has
been given subordinate and minor places
only, while the more important offices
have gone to white Republicans and to
Populists. The excuse is as lame as the
rest Of the fusion apologies.
1t is the men who fill these minor
places who come into close and daily
contact with the people and have unlim-
tied opportunities for the display of that
insolence which always marks the ne
gro officeholder, whether he be a Con
gresham or constable. The ma
chinery of government compels more
intimate relations between the people
of the town and a negro policeman than
between the people of the State and a
governor.
For negro to be governor of the State
would be misfortune intolerable in its
magnitude, because of the large power
for evil it would carry with it. But
it would not be more distasteful to the
citizens of the State than it is to the
citizens of Eastern North Carolina al
the present time to have negro sheriffs,
postmasters, registers of deeds, consta-
bles and policemen.
1t is this selection Of innumerable ne
70 fha min YNlo haf hpiO
the people of the black belt into repul-
sive impact with negro rule in all its
hideous ugliness. There is no escape
for them. The machinery of every day
business, the exigencies of daily life,
subject them to the constant degradation
of the ever-present negro official, fill
place the duties of which give him album
dant opportunities, generally improved,
to be among, and make himself offensive
TO, the white citizens.
1t is the minor negro official who is
the browning infamy of negro rule. The
policeman who is supposed to guard the
Indifferent, if not an actual menace; the
negro sheriff who faunts his Importance
in the face of the citizen who calls TO
pay his taxes, which may or may not
reach the treasury; the negro magis-
trate who dispenses insult and billings
gate instead of justice; the negro coun-

money of the taxpayer on idle projects
to display his power" the negro school
committeeman whose signature the
white lady teacher must have to her
warrant before she can draw her meagre
and hard-earned pittance; these consti-
tute the wearisOme, nauseous incubus
of negro rule in the east, from which
the white men of that section are cry
ing out to the white men of the State
to free them.
1T is by means of the minor offices
and intensified, thrusting its beastly
visage in the face of the white man at
every turn, crippling his interests,
.wounding his self-respect and not per-
lifting him to forget for moment the
Ngradation that political heelers and
traitors have thrust upon him.
be minor negro officials are the
. scles of the beast, twining Anglo
Saxon civilization to its roots, polluting
the fountains of civil and business inter
course, irritating and menacing the
white citizen in every relation with his
fellow man.

Il regard this plan as ineXpedient. It

proper thing for the Democrats to do at
this time is to accept the situation and
graciously turn in and support the pres

Kansas City, Jan. Unsurpassed ex-
citement prevails over the meagre re-
ports from the Indian Territory of the
uprising of the SeninOles. Nothing
more definite than last nights state
ment that $50 reds had started on the
warpath for Earlsboro, that they were
killing all the whites whom they met
and that the whites were arming and
hurrying their families out of the coun-
try, has been received.

not borne out by the facts had prev
iously been circulated from the terrific

that the Seminoles would avenge the
burning of two of their number, that
confirmed reports are awaited with fear
and dread.
Indian Territory is settled principally
by whites from this part of the south
west and the anxiety of their friends
and relatives here may easily be mag
ined.
