THE PEOPLE DEMANDED 1T,

The orators of the black -and-tan
party are going through the State
proclaiming that the Democrats in
submitting the amendment acted con-
trary to the popular demand. As a
matter of fact. after the revolution in
Wilmington and the terrible tension
Of October and November, 1898, there
was a universal demand for the elimi-
nation of the negro. and leading Re
publicans and Democrats joined in
that demand. DR.. Cyrus Thompson
voiced what was universal when he
said. shortly after the election:
1T is evident that the Democrats
will hage to eliminate the negro ques-
ton now. L do not think that the
people who have given the Demo-
cratic party power will be satisfied
with anything else than the elimi-
nation of the negro from politics in
North Carolina
In view of the necessity Of elimi-
mating the negro vote the Legisla-
ture would have violated the trust and
expectations of the people if they
had not put it in the power of the
voters to stop negro rule in North
Carolina. The Legislature could not
and did not disfranchise anybody. 1t
submits to the voters whether they
wish to be rid Of the big negro vote
which has been used for bad gov
eminent and has engendered .Strife
and trouble between the races.

orally to the campaign. Subsidies
are wrong in principle and practice.
Mr. jefferson correctly stated the
only position that Congress can take
with reference to subsidies when he
declared:

NO CHANCE FOR PoPULIsM.

Our Home Pop. Organ.
We are a Populist. We would like to
see Populism win, but we will be candid
by saying that the chances of success this
year are not such as to make us throw
up our hat and slap our hands. We
have so many leaders that there wasn't
room for all of them to lead and they
split the party open so that they all
might be leaders. We must be honest
with you. reader. Candidly and frankly
we confess that our party when all to-
gether is small enough; when divided it
is too small to throw us into fits of en-
thusiasm-too small to elect a governor
in one state much less a President We
