"a climax was reached when the negro

lynching OF the editor. we uepI ~
lvnching. and yet there is no puhishilion'
nrovided by law adequate Tor TINS "ie"'.
we therefore owe 1t TO the people Oh
This community and of this city as
nro,ection against such license In the
future that the paper known as inc
Record cease to be published ana that It's
editor be banished from this community.
..Va demand that he leave this CITY
forever within twenty-tour hours aller
the issuance OF this proclamation sec,
ond that his printing press be packed
and shipped from the city without ueiay

given within the time mentioned. then
the editor, Manly, will be expelled by
force"
It Is understood that Manly has already
left the city. and his friends will prob
ably ship his press to-day.
OFFICIALS WILL NOT RESIGN.
The Mayor and the Chief of Police
say in private conversation this afternoon
that they will not resign as suggested
by the mass-meeting Of citizens to-day.
They say they were elected by the votes
of the people. and will hold office until
their term expires or until they are elected
by force Leading members Of the COM
mittee OF twenty-five tell me this after
noon that the committee will wait upon
the Mayor and Chief of Police to-mor-
row morning. and advise them TO resign.
! II they decline, the understanding Is
that the citizens will probably fix time
limit upon their leaving the city.
II Is also proposed to suggest 10 some
OF the Board Of Aldermen the ACCESSIBILITY
Of resignng one by one Other men Will
put in their places, and the new board
will then elect a Mayor and Chief OF
Police under the law. II is urged by the
members of the Citizens Committee that
this IS the action contemplated by the
resolutions adopted today declaring negro
| domination at an end in Wilmington.
The Citizens Committee will send word
| TO the negroes tonight 10 remove the
| printing press Of the negro newspaper.
