NEGROES IN THE SADDLE
THE FOURTH WARD PRIMARY DOWNS PAT
STEWART.
Three Negro Delegates Elected 10 the County
Convention The Color Line Clearly
Drawn by Them.

The Fourth ward in Raleigh is the
great negro stronghold, but heretofore it
has always divided its honorS with Pat
Stewart and the few other white Repub-
leans living in the ward. Last night.
however, the old dusky Fourth served
notice on Pat and the other Lilly
Whites that the black man of the black
Fourth knows his rights and dareS main
tain them.
The second division of the Fourth
ward had Il meeting last night, primal
nv TO elect delegates to the
county convention, which meets here on
Saturday. There were present ct this
Fourth ward primary u negroes and
one white man. Pat Stewart called the
meeting to order, and had the honor he
thought. but the dishOnor, most white
men will think, of presiding over the
meeting by virtue of his position as
executive committeeman from this ward,
elected two years ago. but aside from
this privilege the Lilly White" mer-
chant prince of the Fourth ward was
stranded entirely.
In the selection Of delegates the flag OF
Pat trailed in the sawdust, strewn
over the court house floor. while thc
banners of Stewart Allison. John Gary
and \. r. NinsOn-three original colored
RusseliteS-wcre flung to the breeZes.
Pat and his pal. Peter Jeffreys, two
original anti-Russellates. were beaten
out of their brogans.
There is said to he two reasons why
the mahoganys Of the Fourth jumped On
Pat with such positvcness. He is said
to be slated for n brandy gauger's place
under Collector Duncan to the cXclI-
sion Of all the five hundred and more
colored voters of the Fourth ward. and
they wanted to show Duncan and Prtch-
ard that there were other pebbles on
that beach besides Pat, and likewise
they wanted to show Ham Jones. Dan
Young, Joe Rogers and all the other
RAIDS. that the negro is going to be
heard from or know the reason why in
the counSolS of his party this wear.
