Prior to the year 1892 he was a Re-

the Republican party. N" man in the
State, white or black, showed greater

his District, and urged the election Of
several crlOrrd mn, among whom are
I.E O'IIara, II. +. Cbeatham, and Geo.
H. White. He not only canvassed for
these men, but voted for them. and
other colored men for County officers,
and expressed his anxiety for their
election.

Hon. e. Il. AycOck, Gotdsb0ro, ". c.
DEAR SIR:-As you and !, our
fathers and our brothers, were all
raised in the good old county OF
Wayne, and as we were all neigh
bors and the best OF friends, / trust
you will excuse me for writing to
you as ! have decided TO do this
morning.
/ have heard through the "Dicky
Birdsn that Col. A. b. Andrews has
already arranged the preliminaries
for you to succeed Dan Russell In
1900, and that the "GOober" ma
torial bee Is already buZzing IN
YOUR bonnet. Looking to the con-
-umation OF the agreement already
entered into you are now canvass
ing the State and are astonishing
the natives with your eloquent APP
peals to your fellow citizens to help
you to bring about change in the
minds OF the people and restore the
State TO the "days OF good govern
ment." The newspapers are doing
their part in reporting what you
have to say, and from their reports
we Judge you are doing the thing
all right. This makes me proud Of
you, because, you see, we are both
Wayne county boys, and / alway!
rejoice when ! see Wayne county
boy doing well.
You do not wish to make an!
mistakes, l am quite sure. 70,
know mistakes are dangerous.
see, however, that you are quotin,
some figures from the Auditor
Report, from which you draw de
ductions that leave an erroneOu
impression upon the minds OF you
hearers. 1t is very natural thin
to do these days and under the Gil
cumstances. You wish to be fai
/ am sure. will, therefore, max
few suggestions which, perhaps
= would add interest to your blacl
t board exhibitions, and at the sam
4 time not leave erroneous imprel
" sions upon the minds Of your al
. 4 ences.
You are reported as having sal
on more than one occasion, an
doubtless you make the same a.
sertion in every speech you max
. or every time you repeat the san
r speech, that during the last thrt
e years OF the Democratic admin
d tration the Expenses" as you ca
e them, of running the State govern
- ment were:

Total for neriod $3.50 95O21


Substracting the total of the first
period from the total of the second,
the difference is found to be 1885,
1926, which amount you charge
to 1.-the extravaganza" of the pres
ent reform administration" These
figures are correctly quoted from
the grand total of the disburse-
ment column of the Auditors Re-
port for 1897, but are, without ex-
PLANTATION, a little misleading.
You are aware that for a number
of years the United States Govern
ment has been making appropria-
lions to the College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts, at Raleigh, the
Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege for the COlOred, at Green's
bOrO, and also the North Carolina
Experiment Station, but doubtless
you were not aware of the fact that
these appropriations were never
audited into the State Treasury
until the year 1895. Then they
We're, and have been ever since
audited in and then out, putting
them on both the receipts and dis
bursement column OF the present
administration, while they did not
appear at all in your period quoted
You will agree that these appro.
priations should not appear in the
charge against this administra
ton. And, as fair-minded man
/ do not suppose that YOU will con
tend that it is fair in this cOmpari
son to count two sessions of the Gen
eral Assembly against the present
administration when the former
had only one. So, then, we will

This was State taxes alone. You
also collected $9S ,3S4.65 more fol-

the people in the counties NOR,

charging me with unfriendliness to You
and friendliness to Congressman New
lands in the pending Senatorial contest.
| desire to assure you that the above is
entirely without foundation. l take it
for granted that your state will select a
silver man as senator; but have care
fully avoided taking any part in the con-
test and have never expressed any
preference. | assume that your people
are able to choose wisely and they would
properly resent any attempt upon my
part to influence their action or give add
vice. Believe me, very truly yours,
wv. ]. BRYAN"
