Boone Speak.


gums, in Durham county, today. Many
populists were present who expressed
their intention Of voting the white man
ticket this year.
AT II o'clock County Chairman Ii. y.
Foushce called the people together ana
introduced Judge Boykin. Judge Boykln
is not IL candidate for any 'office. In II
strong and patriotic speech he arralghed
the Republican party for its mlSmanagc-
ment and for the disgraceful adminStra-
ton which it has given North Carolina
and made an earnest plea for good gov
eminent and white supremacy.
Judge Boyllin made his first polltical
speech in Durham here today. our peo-
pie had esteemed him as Il Judge. in'y
arc charmed with him now as II poiltl-
cal speaker in these times that test men.
Among other things Judge Boykin said;
'Thc pending contest is for the SUI
premacy of virtue. intelligence ana the
fundamental rights of citizenship. II
has been demonstrated during the past
few months that the negro, influenced
by his Unborn opposition to the whltc

so unified was the negro vote that tn"
entire number of negro electors might
have voted by proxy in the hands of one
of their race. This could not be attrlb-
utcd to any injustice pcrpetrated against
them by the whites. The whites pay al
most scvcn-cights of the taxes. They
educated the negro as they educated
their own children; they built and sup
ported aSylums for their insane and their
deaf dumb and blind; they secured them
Justice in the courts; they selected them

liberty. They have been deceived by the
enemies of law and order, the white Re
publican office hunters, and their pas
sions and prcjudces have been excited
against their best friends. And still, not
one of them has been permitted. in all
these years. TO become Il candidate on II

the West could not be placated. They are

mav he determined by the result of this
contest. 1t can be assured by the union
of the white voters. There can be no
reason why the Populists should not
unite with the Democrats in Il contest
involving the honor. the property, the
supremacy of the white man. They can
not consistently cooperate with the Re
publicans. Their policy in regard to
money. to monopolies, to the tariff. to-
the Judiciary. is totally different. They
have been and are now honored citizens:
they are property holders; they are white
mon.
''rhe Popuist party WAS NOT OR
CANNED TO ELECT NEGROES
TO OFFICE IN NORTH CAROLINA.
And yet fusion of the Populist and
Republican parties will inevitably result
in this since the negro will not hesitate
to demand his rights And PopulSts
will not be the last to suffer from the
results of this unholy rule.
"PopuliSm was protest against
Clevelandism. This nightmare no longer
exists.
"All white men who love and honor
their State and revere law and good gov
eminent and oppose ignorance and the
II \ NfN
as brothers."
Judge Boykin discussed also the peni
Tertiary scandal, the management of the
agricultural department and that of the
white institution of the deaf dumb ana
blind. and pointed out that the only way
to secure good ovcrnment was for the
white men to reunitc.
Hon. r. +. Boone was introduced os
'our next Solicitor" Mr. Boone is Il
fighter. His whole speech bristled with
happy hits and tcrse sayings, in part as
follows:
''We can trust each other in financial
matters: why can't we in political mat
tiers when this dark cloud hangs over us?
| will be the friend of the negro, but
tell you. now and forever, he shall
never control me. Anglo-SaXon blood
will never again submit to the domination
of Jim Young and his gang. If there is
anything in the world the Republican
office-holdcr does not believe in it is Il
surplus in the treasury. We did not ac
ccpt Populist propositions because they
demanded their present representation,
and that meant to vote for men who sup
ported PritclIard.

have not seen one half of the rascalltles
YOU will see. Yes, Russell is big
man-hc weighs near three hundred
pounds He appoints men to office whom
he admits to be rascals and then refuses
TO turn them out This may also be
an element of greatness. Since
the negro convention held in Raleigh a
few DAVIS ago the negroes have been
claiming everything i'll and around TINS
world, and now they tell me they are
singing. "The Man in the Moon is Il

You live under Il national administra-
