THE DISTURBING RACE QUESTION
TO BE SETTLED.

There are two great foes 10 the
amendment-the professional, reckless
d~eceiver and liar, and the unfortunate
and ready victim Of his receptions and
f~alsehood. If all men We're truth-lov-
ers and truth-tellerS it is altogether
probable that no one white democrat
in North Carolina would ever doubt
the wisdom of the amendment, or eve
cherish any purpose to oppose it. We
hear that out in the country some dem
ocrats are against the amendment be-
cause they are afraid it will disfran-
chise them. They have believed the
liars and are befooled and hoodWlnk-
ed. 1t is the boast Of certain. repuoll-
a n and populists of the Butler con-
tingent, that more deceived democrats
will vote against the franchise amend
ment than there are republicans n
