A BITTER SPEECH.

The Republicans who we're kicking
against the fusion ticket met in Hal
flax Monday and put out straight
negro ticket. In that convention one
Tom Fields, jr., from Weldon made
some very bitter and incendiary state
ments. Two reputable white men
heard them and gave them to us on
Tuesday. Field said that THE NEG ROEs
ARE GOING TO RULE THIS COUNTRY.
He said that two years from now when
the negroes get more money down
here they will take charge OF things.
The following are his words about
powder "The white people are buy
ing black powder-we want them to
understand we are buying white pow
der. We have more 16-shooters than
they imagine"

al conceivable phases OF tho establish

minimum strvngth OF the United States
land forces that would be essential was
az follows
For garrison OF Philippines. $4,000 men;
for garrison Of LuIon Island alone. 5000

men
These estimates were based upon the
assumption that for considerable period

From tho best information that could

They agreed THAI whno such a force

Indians IN former days. and that with
smaller garrlsons an uprising might lead
10 a disaster which would horrfy the
United States
As consequence OF these deliberations
and conclusions regarding the whole

authorities was then concentrated upon
the probability Of the retention OF the Is

the matter and digesting a vast amount
