Negro Rule.

Charlotte News.
The honest and sincere Populists
in this State are not this year going
to allow themselves to be used as
tools by the Republican party to
perpetuate negro rule in North Caro-
lima One of the most consistent
Popnlists is Editor Allison, of the
R-former, the Populist paper pub
lished at Kings Mountain. In a
recent issue of his paper he advocates
the election of the Populist part of
the Republican, Populist fusion coun-
tv ticket in Cleveland county and the
election of the Democrat tic candidates
who have Republicans for opponents.
Thattpaper says:
Last election we slid out of the
Republican end Of the county ticket
quietly, but this year we will be more
frank and repudiate the deal openly.
We cannot endorse the Republican
and Populist platforms at the same
time. We cannot knowingly stand
with one foot on one and the other
on the other of such ultra plat
FORMS"
There are many Populis:s in
Mecklenburg who will not support
any fusion that may be arranged
with the negro goldbug party.
Sincere Populists all over North
Carolina, disgusted at the state OF
affairs brought about by fusion with
the Republican party, are returning
to Democracy, knowing that voting
the Dam ocratic ticket is the way to
restore white rule and good govern.

The Issue Pure and simple.

Every white man who favors &c
cent government in North Carolina
should do all in his power to elect a
Democratic Lagisla ture. In every
county the Democratic candidates
tor Senator and kepre sentative
should be supported. Without a
Democratic Legislature the incom-
potency and corruption which nov
disgrace the State will not only con-
tinue but grow worse. The number
OF cities and towns that will be
placed under negro control will be
increased; more negro magistrates
and school committeeman will be ap-
pointed; more negroes will become
directors of our charitable institu-
tions; there will be more negro over
seers of roads to lord it over white
people.

Burlington News.
'In view of the large majority
against ns two years ago, we are
asked how we expect to carry the
county and State. Why, we expect
many good men who are Republicans
to vote with us this year In the cleo
ton of State and against negro
domination. We expect very many
Populists who must now see the
error of their past course, and that
their party has no future save to
trade for Office, to vote With us
They now see that negroes would not
be in Office and power over white
folks If the Republican was not in
power, and that Populist votes put
the Republican In power.
, They must recognize a duty above
mere party, and come together.
They will do it, we verify believe.

Wilmington Star.
The indignation of every decent
white man In Wilmington has been
justly aroused by the infamous edi-
torial which appeared in recent
issue of the negro paper called the
Daily Record. The Star trusts, how
ever, that 1t will lead to no act Of
violence. Let us not weaken the
strong position we now occupy.
Such dastardly attacks on the white
women of North Carolina as that
made by the negro organ are almost
unbearable; but they will help swell
the great host that will march to the
polls under the white mems banner
in November, when the last vestige
Russellism and Butlerism and Ne
groism will be swept away.
