Raleigh News and Observer: Ne
groes in Iredell county, like those in
Wake, don't think much of fusion.
Thy've held a convention and put out
a full county and legislative ticket.
And yet the fusion managers will tell
you: "The niggers and the populists
are solid and together this year, more
so than ever.'-At least three-pos-
sibly more-of the most prominent
white republicans in Raleigh will not
this year vote the fusion ticket
The Roanoke News learns from a re-
liable source that several of the cam
didates on the fusion ticket made
speeches at Littleton that was anything
but decent, and that after the meeting
the candidates who had spoken were
treated to a shower of stale eggs n
rocks. 1t is said that the candidates
made tracks when the eggs began to
fly.
Fayetteville Observer: When Rev.
Mr.. Leavitt arose to address White
Government Union 30. 2, last night,
the city hall was packed to overflow
ing and many were turned away. For
nearly an hour the speaker held the
attention of the great crowd as few
other men could. 1t was a remark
able speech, and in fine taste, coming
as it did from a minister; Mr.. Leavitt
is a reasoner as we'll as loquent, and
his logic was invincible. At times
the audience went fairly wild with en-
thusiasm. When the speaker sat down,
a vote of thanks were rendered him,
accompanied by three hearty cheers.

II o ask a negro what he thinka
Of a negro that votes the democratic
ticket he will tell you that negro, who
does vote a democratic ticket, will
steal or do anything mean. When you
ask him what he thinks OF a white
man who votes the republican ticket
he will dodge the question. IL the ne
gro VINO votes the democratic ticket is
a liar. thief and scoundrel. what does
he think OF the white man who votes
with him and for negroes ?-Dunn
Union.
The books also states that the
democratic party "inaugurated" negro
magistrates and officers in 1877" The
people remember the hordes OF negroes
who were in Office throughout eastern
North Carolina from 1868 to 1876. This
statement of republican book-makers
carries its own refutation. But IL the
democrats have been appointing ne
groes Il office. why is it h a all ne
groes vote against the democratic
party? Cy Thompson admits in his
speeches the democrats a never won
save in advocacy of white supremacy.

Truly this is a white mans govern

by white men and the white mans
money has kept the government to-
gether. The young white men in large
numbers have volunteered and gone
to the front to fight for their nations
honor. You would be surprised to
know how many negroes have gone

consequence

Mr.. NJ. oliver, chairman of the pop
ulist executive committee of Caswell
county, issues an address to his party
in the Fifth district, warning them
against the fusion nominee for con-
gress, one Spencer B. Adams, the fell
speech while holding Columbus court,
in which he vilely abused the best
white men in the state. Mr.. Oliver
tells his party friends:
Il told them I had heard Adams say
he would vote for the free coinage of
silver, no matter who was nominated,
and ne was nominated with that un-
derstanding. But what did he do at
the election? He voted the whole re-
publican ticket-negrOeS and all. I
suppose he is telling now that he is
for free silver! 1 tell you he is one
of the shrewdest politicians in this
county, n would fool his maker if it
were possible, I have always been OPP
posed to fusion, and I have never vot-
ed a fusion ticket yet. Populists of
the Fifth congressional district, let me
urge yOu, as a friend to populism, drop
S. B. Adams at once. You don't know
the man."
By the way, it appears that Lawyer
Lewis, Of Whiteville, who rushed into
print to defend his friend Adams, has
"fopped." 1t does not surprise us and
perhaps no one else. 1t was a good
start for a flop to defend the political
judge.

the populist candidate for congress in

Pearson. in a joint discussion at
Waynesville a few days ago, that he
(Pearson) was To gentleman and was
a coward. Pearson said he would not
submit to such language. Boggs said
he would not retract. Then Pearson
said he would as soon strike a woman

The Bible is true-iS truth. Beng
true we must as far as in us lies con-
form to it's requirements and be guild
ed by it's answering wisdom. The
trouble with people who profess to
believe the Bible do not obey it's pre-
cepts or walk according to it's light.
There are thousands of people who ac-
cent Christianity and who enter its
pale, who do not walk in singleness OF
mind, but try the impossible, to wear
two characters-a sort of DR.. Jekyl
and Mr.. Hyde. That is to say they live
in the world and for the world whilst
protesting to be not of the world and
seeking things above. Men try in poll
tics the two-horse act and fail. Men
VINO attempt it in religious life fall
equally as much. If you will read the
third chapter of PauIs Letter to the
Corinthians you will see a closely
drawn presentation and description OF
= true disciple of the Lord Jesus
Christ and the opposite of this in the
church. If his description be INSPIRED
as we hold, where are the Chrlstahs

number? Read to the end of the thlr-
feenth verse and then mediate upon
4hc lesson. The great Apostle begins
with the statement-"lf We then pe
risen with Christ"-then what does he
say? That We must seek those things
which are above"-not the things that
are low and earthly-but the things IN
Heaven. where Christ stitch on the
right hand of God" Take this definition
of 2 Christian, and where may you seek
them? You can only find them among
tie truly pious, the sincerely conse-
rrSted, the earnest seekers alter
~ yist. for this class-the self-denylnS
and earnest and spiritually
do not place their affection on earth
iy. transitory, perishable things, out
ION things above" And why does the
real Christian-a true saint Of God-so
place his affection on the heavenly:
Because, Paul says, I'VE are dead, ana
your life is hid with Christ in God
Think What that really means-how
hjcl the life, how blessed the cOndl-
f;or-a man so holy and obedient and
adoring and spiritual that his lie is
hid with Christ in God He is dead
20 the worldly, deceptive, alluring
xhings-the things on the earth, ana
fully alive to God, to all that is bless
sd and pure and Heavenly. This is in
deed to be a Christian, a true son or
God, the ''child of a King" This man
is not worldly minded, seeking MS
pleasures and joys in the poor beggarly
elements and unsatisfying sins OF TINS
transitory sphere, but he has his heart
on God, he Graves and seeks to be like
Him, and "to appear at last Gin glory
wEel the end comes and when Christ,
who is our life, shall appear" (Fourth
verse; Christ is coming again to judge
the world in righteousness. He is
coming to judge both the living and
the dead. He is coming with His holy
angels. There is no mistake here. 1t
is so written and it is Gods own dec
Iaration of purpose. The true Chris
tan is a pilgrim ever travelling to-
wards the better land. He is resolved

EXAGGERATED REPORTS.
Only a Few Peaceful Indians Have Left

Salt Lake. Nov. "A special to the
Tribune from Price. Utah, says: The
reports from Denver and other points
to-day concerning Indian troubles in
Western Colorado and Northeastern
Utah are at great variance with the
facts in the case. Your correspondent
can state upon reliable authority that
only a few OF the Indians have left
their reservation at all, n these only
for a quiet hunt. which Is a long estab-
lished custom at this season of the
year.
The scouting party sent out from
Fort Duchesne found no cause for
alarm. Nearly all of the Indians who
left for the hunt were seen coming
home on Monday and they were all this
side of the Colorado line. Many of
those who left came here for Indian
freight and. after loading. went back
home. II Is a fac n very significant
that a greater part Of the money taken
out to them by Agent Myton has not
yet been distributed among them. and
they are coming I'm for their money ev-

at White Rock agency, as well as the
one at Ouray. and no apprehension Is
felt at either point or at Vernal.
