Popubk in This State Are Advised by Their Leaders to Unite
with the Negroes
I'VE ARE ALL IN THE SAME BOAT" SAYS Mr., PALMER
advised populsts to support the republican
nominee in that district for congress.
The Whites in Revolt.

This IS the way in which the terrible
decentralization started in North carolina.
The peoples party leaders in georgia IN
their despair are recklessly advising their
people to a course which would result IL
fusion could succeed. in bringing about as
disastrous conditions here as are seen III
negro-ridden North Carolina.
The white people there. without regard
to parties, are in open revolt. and tine
signs all point to a glorious victory the
coming fan for the restoration of white
supremacy and decent government. 1t Is
rather remarkable that at the very time
the populists of North Carolina are about
to assist in overthrowng the democrats
and decent white republicans, the corrupt
regime which has disgraCcd the state Tor
four years, the white pOpuIistS of Georgia
should be urging upon their party step
which would lead to u similar condition
here.
In last weeks Constitution there ap-
peared an article on the political situation
in North Carolina, showing the determine
ton of the decent people of that state TO
make every man come out In the open ana
take his stand either for or against them
1t family pictured the shameful results OF
the coalition in 1894 and 1896 between the
populists and the republicans one or the
results of which was the election by the
same legislature of one republican ana
one populist to the United States senate
In North Carolina, the state and county
officers for the past four years nave been
divided out with mathematical eXactness
between the populists and the republicans;
II being remembered OF course, that four
fifthS of the republican party tnefe are
negroes. Fusion in that stale lead to negro
domination, which brought arrogance, m
suits and corruption in office, aud the gen
cral lowering of the moral tone. To such
an extent has this gone that crime has In
creased and life, property and the FANNY
are no longer safe i'll the black belt. Insults
could not go further than Was liu''t1t'"
In the editorial from the negro paper Inc
Wilmington Record, which contained 1 re
fiect.on upon the women, which mas set the
state literally on fire.
Georgia has Eer black belt, too, ana as IN
North Carolina, it extends inland for many
miles along tine coast.
1t is there that the populist leaders are
most earnestly urging their party 10 Foie
with the negroes. 1t is i'll these countess
too. that negro domination VII; Hf@l CONC
