| When eight thousand white
men assemble themselves to.
Igether to consider political con.
ditions, it has a meaning. II
means that the one supreme
thought in the hearts and minds
OF all true white North Carolin-
ians to-day is, GLOW can we save
our civilization and our Homes u
One could look at the earnest,
eager crowd and see that it was
no holiday affair. One could feel
in the very atmosphere the cleo
trio thrill of courage, heroism
and a united people. They have
borne it with patience, but they
Twill bear it no longer: ''The An
glo-Saxon must and shall rule
this State wrote in the
uptured faces of thousands of all
parties. There was inspiration in
the burning words of true men,
in the warm hand-grasp of old
comrades who have faced a COM
mon danger upon the red hills of
Virginia, and in the elbow touch
of a reunited, unconquered and
unconquerable yeomanry.
Who could listen to the soul
stirring address Of W. A. Guthrie,
the presiding officer,or who could
see Mr.. W. e. Fountain acting in
hearty accord with the white
mans party and not feel victory
in the air?
And how significant it all isl
How far-reaching such an event
is and must be in our political
history!
What Populist can go astray in
following the leadership of these
two men-the one who is to-day
a private citizen and not our Gov
ernor because he would not sell
out his principles, and the other,
chairman of the executive com
mittee of the Populist party, un-
til it sold out to Harry Skinner,
J. G. Pritchard and 10000 ne
groes.

cratic party are thrown wide open.

thousand hills. The good work
goes on. Nothing less than TO-
900 majority will answer the
aroused manhood of our State.
The day, the occasion, the vast
multitude were well met. ALI

thousand white Freemen of
Eastern North Cardinal! The
Lord of Hosts will surely look
with approval upon such an ass
semblage, met in such a cause,
under such leadership. It was an
army of Righteousness, assem-
bled in defense of Christian city,
ilization. With malice toward
no black man but charity for all,
and with a determination for the
right equal to it's charity, tri-
umphant victory will be followed
by the blessings of real peace
and contentment.
cit is not our purpose to do
the negro any harm," say these
honest North Carolinians. They
contemplate no inhumanity or
oppression; but sit is better for
him as well as for us that the
white man shall govern" and
Heaven knows this has been
amply demonstrated.
Let every white citizen read
carefully these resolutions. We
cannot have any doubt as to the
result. For the power aud safety
of all parties, races and interests,
white men must ands will rule
North Carolina.
