THE FUSION JUDICIAL TICKET.

There are seven Superior court judges
to be elected in North Carolina TINS
year.
The Democrats in open conventions
have named seven able lawyers, men of
character and integrity. They are entitled
to the vote of every man In the state
who fayors a "non-partisan judiciary,
for if the Fusion ticket is elected the
bench will be almost entirely composed
of Republicans.
Until last night, not a voter IN the
State knew the candidates on the Fusion
ticket. 1t had been given out that the
Populists had demanded that the Repub-
icans withdraw Robt. S. caves, and
vote for Judge Hoke in the Eleventh
district. What was the result! The
Republicans snapped their fingers in the
faces of the Populists and told them
they had to vote for young Eaves aud all
other Gold-bugs they had decided to
place on the ticket.
The Fusion judicial ticket is COM
posed of seven gold-bug Republicans,
one Populist and one Independent. vi
the solicitors agreed upon eight are Re-
publicans and four were Populists until
this year when they began to openly
advocate Negro Supremacy. The Repub-
Leans get the whole thing.
Is it any wonder that thousands OF
Populists who believe in a non-partisan
judiciary, have declared that they will
not vote to give the Republicans almost
entire control of the judiciary of the
State, particularly when some of their
nominees are unfit and none of them
are the equals of their opponents!
1t is gratifying to know that many
Populists and a large number of Re
publcans will vote the Democratic judi
cial ticket so as to secure a non-paltis;r
and learned judiciary. Political consid
erations ought not to weigh when judges
are to be chosen.

THE CRY OF THE WRONGED.

Dedicated to those who have sworn
to break the shackles of our shameful
bondage).
A fitting form in the forest aisles,
A thrill of fute-toned song.
And the glad sun laughs, the blue sky
smiles
AS if earth knew no wrong.
Whit satyr face cuts the leafy gloon?
What skulking shape treads the wild?
And shadows black as the wings of doom
Drop Hadean DER the child.
Sweet Heaven. hear Ah the heart
stands still.
At that shrek that rends the skies;
And visions dread make the blood run
chill
And the hot tears brim the eyes.
A vision first of dead white face
In the dusk of blood-drenched leaves
Foul ruin followed by murder apace--
Black strands in the wool Hell weaves.
A vision next of hearthstone cold
And a silvered head bowed low;
A mother bereft. heart-stricken. old,
Alone in her childless woe.
Weep, oh, ye Heavens We stars, burn
pale
Der tn vestal sacrifice;
Earth cries aloud; wronged womanhood' :

For justice cleaves the skies.
