An Open Letter,

To the Populists Of Rocking.
ham county:
All of you know that L have
worked faithfully and earnestly
during the last six years for the
success of the Popuiist party ard
the principles it has advocated.
l. like you, left the Damocra: &c
party because Of the treachary #
Grover Cleveland in trying TO
commit a party To the gcid
standard. We have fought our
fight and in my opinion we have
won the victory. The Democratic
party has repudiated Cleveland
and Clevelandism, and is now
fighting for the rights Of the
Constitution Our home is ia the
Democratic party. in this fight.
We have no interest in common
with the Republican party. Il is
the party of Trusts and Combines,
of Negroism and Bossism. And
now when some of our would~b be
leaders in the Populist party try
to deliver US as SO many cattle
into the hands Of the Republican
party when our women AID
children cry out to US for protec-
ton from negro rule and that Ii
cense that encourages the brut-
lsh instincts Of the negro to as
sert themselves, it is our duty to
stand by our homes, our wives
and our daughters by voting with
white men for white suprem acy.
Let the offce-holders go where
they please, but for US, men who
believe in a principle, who love
purity and right, we must stand
together with the Democratic
party. We cannot be candid and
honest with ourselves and have
anything to do with Republis
cans.
Rally friends! rally to our
rights! We are now Democrats.
not Republicans.

Raleigh News and Observer.
The resolution of the Board of
A griculture to let John r. Smith
and J, G. L. Harris appoint so
many fertilizer inspectors at a
salary of S75 per month has been
a powerful agency in arranging
fusion deals. 1t took two Of these
places, promised to negroes, to
induce majority OF the delegates
to the Republican convention in
Wake to nominate white county
ticket.
The Nashville Graphic this
week reports that when the Re-
publican Senatorial convention
met in Nashville this week, John
R. Smith and Loge Harris were
on hand to dictate the nomination
of Baylus Cade. Lee Person, the
negro Republican orator. was on
hand to defeat Baylus. The nes
gro publicly succeeded and Res
publican named Edwards and a
Re.pop-li-can named Clark. were
nominated. The fertilizer in.
spector dispensers failed to ges
in their work, but they will get
such Withdrawals as they want
before the election. $75 a month
will buy off almost any Fusion
Office seeker.
Is it any wonder that Populists
by the score are leaving the Pop
ulist party in Nash county, when
it is notorious that it is a guess
ton whether Loge Harris and
John R. Or Lee Person shall
name the men for whom they are
to vote? The Nash county Popu-
lists were formerly Democrats
and are not accustomed to being
dictated to even by citizens of
their own county, much less by
Wake and Wayne Radicals and
Edgecombe negro politicians.

Republicans Will Help.
Raleigh News and Observer.

Raleigh News and Observer.
Almost every. day we have
printed letters from Populists
who will join with their white
neighbors to restore White Su-
premacy in North Carolina.
''They are coming, Father Abra-
ham," 1t is not only Populists
who are going to help redeem
the State, but there are also
many white Republicans who
will do likewise. This weeks
Monroe Enquirer says:
:Mr. &. W. Mullis lives in
west Monroe township. and has
been voting the Republican tick
ct for thirty three years, but this
year, with the lights before him
he breaks off from past party
affiliations and requests US to say
for him that he is now a Demo
crat and is for White Suprems
acy."
In one county there are known
to be fifty white Republicans who
will vote this year for White Sus
premacy. It ought not to surprise
anybody that these white men,
seeing the degradation of their
State, through the actions OF
their party leaders, are going to
be true to their race. The sur~
prise is that a single nonsoffice
holding white man in the State
votes for negro domination. now
That the issue is clearly drawn.

The note adds: "Some people be.

debt, no matter in whose hands is her
sovereignty, because she herself pos
sesses the security therefor in the
form Of the customs. II, however, no.

Continuing, the note reads:

MURDERED BY INDIANS,
The Fate of the Passen gers and Crew "f the
Steamer Jesse at the Mouth Of tho

Port Townsend, WASH. Nov. 23.-If
the story of r. Molokoff, who arrived
here from Unimak island, Alaska, is
true, the passengers and crew of the
s'eamer Jessie, numbering Is. were
not drowned at the mouth of the
Kuskokwim river, as reported several
weeks ago, but were murdered by In
dams. Molokoff says just before he
left Unimak island the Indian wife
o1 g hunter and trader named Marstem
returned to Unimak from Kuskokwim,
where she has been visiting relatives,
a, d reported that when the steamer
Jessie and barge Minerva went ashore
in the breakers, a number of Indians
were on the beach, and rendered as
sistance in getting the whites ashore
and saving supplies from the barges.
After being comfortably camped the
Indians demanded large portion Of
the supplies as payment for services,
which, according to the Indian WON.
ans story, was refused. A few nights
later while all were asleep the
Indians made rush on the
camp killing the entire par.
ty. including Missionary Webster,
his wife and child. After the mas
sacre. the bodies were stripped of
clothing and valuables. They were
ther taken in canoes considerable
distance from shore and thrown into
the sea. Molokoff's story is partially
corroborated by q letter from Marsten,

CONFIDENCE EXPRESSED.

sared that the Reply Must bs Made, One
Wsy or the Other, by Meadsy.

Paris, Nov. 23.-The postponemen,
OF the peace commissioners join,
meeting is regarded as hopeful sigr
that the treaty will be signed. While
the Madrid government had not vet
received the full text of the American
ultimatum, the Spanish ministers re.
ceived quite enough by telegraph, on
| Monday night, to enable them to in
struct their commissioners to retire,
were such their intentions.
Confidence Expressed.
The belief was confidently ex-
pressed by several Of the American
commissioners, in conversation, that
before the time expired for the Amer
leans, namely, Monday next, the Span
iards will acquiesce in the United
States Philippine offer, and that, ulti-
mately, the treaty will be signed by
all the Spanish commissioners. 1t is
true that the course which Senor
Montero Rios, president of the Span
ish commission. will follow is still
uncertain, as he continues to ''play to
the gallery but Leading member of
the American commission believes he
will sign with the other Spaniards.
In any case, his place on the commits
sion could be speedily filled. probably
by Senior Leon Y. Castillo. the Spanish
ambassador here.
Question Promptly Answered.
Senor Montero Rios sent commu-
nication to the American commission
ers Tuesday evening asking a number
of questions. The most important of
them, and to get an answer to which |
the latter was undoubtedly written,
was tucked away in the middle of the |
letter 1t asked, in effect. if the Amer
leans really meant that the ultimatum
must be answered by Monday. The
Spaniards were assured that such was |
the intent, and the answer has \
cleared the air.
Spain's Acquisscenoe Predicted.
A member of the Spanish commits
sion assured the press correspondent
that the next meeting of the commits
sioners will take place on Friday or
Saturday, and that Spain's answer
then will be the last she will make,
and that it will be definite conclu-
sion of the matter in hand.
This utterance is looked upon as in
Heating that Spain will sign the
,reaty of peace.
