SHAME TO THEM.

Statesville Landmark.
The Populist platform declares that the
negro should not be allowed to hold office,
but if this had been a law five years ago
Butler and the others would never have
been heard of.-Durham Herald.
This is true and the more shame to
Marion Butler and the Pop. Office holders
for kicking the stone by which they
climbed into place and power; and the
outrageous part Of it is that they i'm
pudently propose to allow these negroes
to keep on voting so that they can reap
the benefit, but want them disfranchised
so far as holding office is concerned. In
other words, these Pops. want the negro
TO work for them, but they want him
forever debarred from getting any pie
