some very severe criticism of the Secretary

Ihey Ask the President to Stop
North Carolina LawIess Reign.
Washington, Nov. 5.-The following ad-
oress was presented to the President by
committee
10 the President of the United States:
slr-At a meeting of citizens from many
portions of the United States, held under
the auspices of the lyceum of the Second
1apust Church, Washington, D. c., on
tuesday evening, the Isl inst. a commit
zee was appointed TO present to you the
si'uatlon IN the state of North Carolina,
anu 10 ask you to exercise your good Of
Hces 10 preserve the peace and to main
taih constitutional government in all por-
uons of our common country.
we do not come TO YOU as politicians,
seeking some partisan end, nor simply as
colored men aroused by the passions of the
hour' out, sir, we come as economists, as
students of history and the science of gov
ernment as patriots, jealous of our COM
mon veal and as American citizens, to ask
you, the chief executive of this great ma
ton, and commander-in-chiefo of the land
and naval forces, 10 exercise all constitu-
tlonai power in you vested to protect every
american citizen in the enjoyment of his
constitutional rights.
The present situation in the state of
North Carolina is but an act in the series
of the reign of terror inaugurated in the
year 1873, to wrest from the legitimate cleo
tors the state governments in certain sec
tions of the country, and TO nullify the
recent amendment to the constitution of
the United States by resorting first to
mob violence and then to subterfuge in
order TO deprive citizens of their right to
vote and to hold Office.
THE lawless reign was first naugurated
in the state of Louisiana, and step by
step it has worked its way eastward and
northward until it now borders on the
state of Virginia, and will soon overshad-
ow the national capital and ere long the
STAKEHOLDER will call his slaves at the base
of Bunker Hill.
''The thing has gone far enough. This
nation is now dealing with new problems
in establishing governments in the ISL
ands of the sea, and we do not want our
usefulness impaired before the eyes of the
nations of the world by the charge, even
though it be but tolerably well founded,
that we have only a quasi-constitutional
government in the United States The
present situation is a grave one, and the
attitude of lawless men in the state of
North Carolina will be far-reaching in it's
effects unless it is counteracted by the
strong arm of the government"
The address is signed by Jesse Lawson,
r. w. Thompson, H. A. Clark, Thomas
Ware, @. l.. Marshall committee.

Citizens Union vote is altogether of un-
known quantity. probably important only
If that of the two old parties shall be
close; that of the Socialst-Labor party
may approximate 10000. while the Prohibi-
ton vote has not often been much in ex-
cess of 10000, in a total sometimes as high
as 100000.
Besides state officers, there will be elect
ed on Tuesday next a legislature that will
choose a United States senator to succeed
Edward Murphy, Jr., Democrat, and four
representatives in Congress will also be
elected.
The Republican campaign has been an
aggressive one, and notable for the energy
with which Col. Roosevelt has conducted
his canvass. In one week-the last week
of October-he delivered close upon 100 ad-
dresses.
Judge VanWyck pursued a very differ
ent course. His public addresses have not
exceeded ten and these were delivered at
such places as Buffalo, Rochester, Utica,
Elmira, Albany and New York

Offices and for Congress persistently refus-
ed to be led into discussion of the currency

The state Senate has a membership of so
and the assembly of one hundred AS at
present constituted there is Republican
majority of twenty-eight on joint ballot.
Senator Murphy. who is a candidate for
reelection, has had charge of the Demo-
cratic legislative campaign. The Republi-
cans are disposed to eoncede a reduction
of their majority in the legislature, but
profess a confidence that they will have
working majority in both houses.
Democrats confidently expect to gain
three or more congressman in districts be-
low the Harlem river and possibly as
many in upstate districts. Republicans
do not feel sanguine of maintaining the
preponderance of twenty-eight as against
six Democrats in the New York delega-
ton.
The registration in Greater New York
this year, while not as heavy as last, gives
promise of a large vote.
