BELLAMY SHOWS THE WHITE
FEATHER AND CALLS FOR THE
CALF ROPE.

Slr:-1ou are quoted II the
morning papers as saying
n a speech at wilmington Yesterday
hat the Democrats should "forcibly
expe." me from the State. Do you
mean that you feel it your duty to
orcibly expel me from the State, or
do you mean that some one else
should do it9 Do you mean that
enc man should undertake it, or
To at cowardly, lawless mob should
do IL
Now if you think | should be az
PEELED from the State, / suggest that
vou undertake the job yourself.
You are one man, and am one
man. If you mean what you say
and have any courage, except when
you have a mob OF red shirts behind
you) l suggest that you proceed to
Raleigh, and begin the expel!ing
business at once. II you have not
tae courage to undertake this job,
then suggest that you have tho
decency to keep your mouth shut.
Respectfully,
MARION BUTLER.
Chairman.
The correspondents OF outside
newspapers, and representatives OF
Raleigh papers wired Congressman
Bellamy Thursday morning for a
statement az to what action he
would take In response to Senator
Buffers challenge. These cores
pondents failed to get any response
from the loud mouth and would be
bloodthirsty Congressman. The
Raleigh afternoon paper, The Times
Visitor, reports him as saying, that
she would ignore Marion Buffers
insulting letter, and regrets ex-
ceedingly that Butler did not take
him to task tor what he did say"
Congressman Bellamy's buster
and his miserable and cOntempti-
BILE back down, reminds us OF sto-
ry, which is as follows:
ga certain Irishman walked up
to another one, with clinched fists,
and said to him, Patrick o Flani-
gan. hear that We have bin going
about calling mo Gan Internal liar
an hav cum right to We face 10
ask we 1t We said iti' To which
Patrick replied, with clinched fists
and looking his questioner square
in the face, L did, Whereupon, the
first Irisman dropped his fists, turn
ed around aud walked off, saying,
4 don't believe ye.'
r The Wilmington Star Of August
End, attempting to apologize fo1
, Bellamy's failure to accept thu
challenge, says that "on frequen
occasions, Mr.. Butler has referred

Why did not Bellamy call Sena
