HE is OPPOSED TO NEGRO RULE
Editor of the Sanford Express:

Editor of the Sanford Express:
| wish to say through your paper that
have been a Republican for thirty-three
years, with but one or two exceptions,
voting the straight Republican ticket,
and / was like great many other good
white men, honest in my belief tnat II
was for the best interests or our beloved
State, but seeing tn persistent tendency
Of the Republican party by fusion ard
other means to social equality and negro
domination it has Disguised me to think
that white men could vote for negroes for
office, who Mr.. Russell says are saw
ages and incompetent - rule them
selves This is, and of right ought to
be Il White Mans Government, and as |
see it the only remedy for good govern
ment is to vote the Democratic ticket,
which l am resolved to d., and hope
enough of my Republican and POpulisL
friends will do likewise to carry the State
overwhelmingly for white supremacy ana
good government ON the Sth Of November
next
In addition to the reasons | have
given for my change there are nun
dreds of negroes in office now in our
State, from Congressman down to road
overseers. | have a family of five boys
and three daughters, and l hope never
to see one of my boys work under
negro or a license for the marriage of
one of my daughters be issued by great
big burly negro. Right here in Sanford
township there are two negro school COM
mitteemen and one white man to visit
and control our schools. May the good
Lord deliver us from negro rule.

The attempt of the Fusionists to ex-
pain away how they came to spend
$3S6,74S more in three years than the
democrats did for like period is as
lame and futile as their efforts to dis
sipate negro rule with a breath. They
say the excess is ''only apparent, not
real" Was the Fusion Auditor of State
suffering from oyer-generosity toward
the enemy when he put the figures down
in his report? Is the 'one-gallus fellow
who is being ground to make up the in
creased expenditures of these economi-
cal patriots suffering from hallucina-
lions? Just so. The 1886, 74S is only
a thing of smoke, shadow. Fusion
economy is the eternal substance.

after asking some further questions,

After talking with Mrs. Carlson a
few minutes, officer Lawson became
convinced she should be taken care II

Fortunate woman labored under the de-
fusion that she a been married dur

her bridal tour alone. as her husband
was sick. She said her home was a
cottage in the rear of 420 South Mon

p. n. Melby. When asked how she
came TO be found in the ice house. she
said she had not been near any such
place, but that she had been TO the
