FUSIONlSTS CONDEMN

1t will be many days before Black
burn will hear the last Of his speech
in Newton when he threatened the
Democratic leaders of North Carolina
with assassination. He must have
been very eNtreme-even more ex-
IRENE than supposed-for his own
crowd condemns him. The last issue
of the Newton Enterprise saws:
The Republicans and Populists are
very severe i'll their criticism of Spencer
Blackburn's speech here last Wednesday.
Several of them have said that he did n
great deal more harm than Pritchard did
good.
In another part of the paper the
Enterprise makes this comment on
Blackburn's speech:
The main feature Of Spencer Black
burn,s speech here last Wednesday. after
Senator Pritchard had closed. was the
threat that North Carolina Democrats
may meet the fate OF Goebel. before this
campaign is over. This is in line with
Marion Butlers threats to whip the gang
(the white Democrats) out of the State.
Butler and Blackburn will find that there
will be u hot time in many of the old
towns in North Carolina when they be-
gin their work of assassination and driv-
ing the gang out. Mems and Observer.

THE MAN FOR THE PLACE.

Recognizing his eminent fitness for
the position, the Danville Bee says
this of Col. Burgwyn's candidacy for
the State Treasurship:
The Henderson GOLD LEAF an
nounces that the candidacy of Col.
W. II. 5. Burgwyn for State Treasurer
of North Carolina is receiving new
strength. In all the State there is
not a man better qualified for the
position, and if 4 man is to be re-
warhed by his people, there is no rea-
son why the genial Colonel should
not be nominated on the first ballot.
Always gentleman; always for
North Carolina; Col. Burgwyn is in
deed the man for the place.

AS TO MR.. NEBANE.

An esteemed contemporary speaks
of an effort being made to foist Mr..
Mechanics nomination upon the Dem
ocratic party. We do not know how
this is The GOLD LEAF is for him
but certainly it is engaged in no such
effort.
The point is raised that Mr. Meb-
anc is not a Democrat, and therefore
he should not be considered; that
there are good Democrats enough to
fill the place and one ought to be
chosen As to Mr. Mechanics politics
this may be said: Whatever he may
have been heretofore we have it that
he is for the Constitutional Amend
mcnt, thereby showing himself to be
Il white nun, which, in this wear of
grace, 1919, is a. good rs being a
Democrat 50 far rs the most vital
question now before us is concerned
If Mr.. Mebane stood against us on
this issue We would oppose him with
all our strength. However we'll and
faithfully he might have performed
the duties Of his office we could not
support any man who antagonized a
measure which has for its spirit and
purpose white supremacy in every
,rt l. 49,
will not only be promotive OF the
best interests Of the white people but
the cnIorcd race as we'll.
The most strenuous opponents Of
Mr.. M"hanc~ nomination must admit
that he has made a capable and eff
cicnt uperintendent. discharging his
duties with zeal and fidelity, showing
a comprehension and aptitude for the
work not surpassed, if equalled, by
any of his predecessors. Nor will
they deny that his office has been
conducted entirely Invested of polit-
zeal bias, in the interest of the people
and the cause of public education.
We do not contend that there is no
Democrat who would make as good a
superintendent of Public instruction
as Mr.. Mebane. Indeed, il we thought
there was not we would quit the
Democratic party at once. On the
contrary, there are many, but under
existing conditions we do not believe
it would be wise or expedient to
make any change.
There are many reasons why in our
Judgment this would not only be for
the good of public education. but
good politics as we'll Need we enter
into a discussion of this phase of the
question? We think not further than
to say when the charge is made false
though it be) that the Democrats are
going to disfranchise poor illiterate
white men, we cannot afford even
the appearance of indifference to the
cause OF public education by the mere
semblance of impairing the useful
ness an! efficiency of the system
which SO intimately and vitality af-
fectS this class
The Democratic party is on record
as the friend of public education. We
must take no backwa step. En-
phasizing what we have said hereto
fore in the interest of the tens of
thousands of poor children whose
only opportunity OF receiving even
the rudimentary elements Of an edu-
cation is through the medium of the
public schools. we do not want to see
this office treated as legitimate part
of party spoils along with the others.
1t ought to be lifted above the low
level of partisan politics and placed
upon a higher plane. Why not the
Democratic party do this? The OPP
portunity and the occasion have met.

4 Logical Consequence.

The political tragedy which has staino d
the fair fame of Kentucky and brought
the blush of shame and Indignation COM
bined TO the cheeks of her people, is like
ly to afford a permanent lesson TO the cit
liens of that commonwealth. Col. Henry
Watterson editor Of the Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal, has publicly stated his views
as to the causes leading up to the present
reign OF anarchy and lawlessness in his
State, and his words should be carefully
weighed by the people of every State in
the Union. Col. Watterson says that the
present situation surprises no one in Ken
lucky as ''it is the logical consequence Of
a campaign of corruption and debauch-
cry" He also refers to the armed vio-
lence and threats met at every turn dur
ing the campaign" which now eliminates
in assassination"
1t is evident that the spirit of anarchy
now rampant in Kentucky is to be attrib-
uted to the Incorporate utterances Of the
political leaders in the recent campaign
as well as to corruption at the polls. There
is no doubt that what Editor Watter.on
says with reference to the influence OF
corruption and debauchery is true to a
very large degree, however, and therein
lies warning for the country as a whole.
From various States come tales of whole
sale bribery and vote-buyng, and unless
these Influences are counteracted, the
communities in question will pay the PEN
atty sooner or later Not all States are like
ly to experience scenes like those which
have directed the attention of the civilized
world to Kentucky at the present time,
but the demoralizing and degrading in
huences of corruption in elections and The
barterng of the right of suffrage will in
evitably have disastrous results, debasing
manhood and debauching public morals,
If not resulting in open lawlessness.

THE NEW VERMONT MILITIA.

Urom the ST. Adams Mcssenger)
A striking feature of the recent school
of officers of the Vermont National Guard
was the disposition everywhere and at all
times manifest to thoroughly reorganize
the First Re ginent along the lines fol-
lowed by the regular army, to do away
with the few remaining traces of the old
militia days. and to quietly but none tho
less steadfastly and seriously prepare for
the emergency that will test the useful
ness of the National Guard.
or course the main impetus in this
direction comes from the spirit and in
ruence OF those officers of the regiment
who served in the voluntary army during
the war with SPAIN and there are many
such, from Col. j. Gray E,stey down
through all the grades to the high pri-
waite in the rear rank But the leaven
was at work in this direction in the old
National Guard regiment before the out
break OF the war. and snguarly
enough, was set working by the very
men. among others, who now wear their
veterans badge in the reorganized Ma
tional Guard. The next muster of the
regiment will be a week of practical IN
struction and discipline in the art of war
conducted by men who are serious in the
undertaking and who have proved their
right to be called real soldiers"
The term reorganized militia as used
to-day must DE accepted in somewhat
NmlteQ sense, because, so loT as tne
statute law OF the State is concerned all
the fsipperiee and fol-de-rols of former
days are SIN in eXistence-on paper. The
governor, with the advice of the military
authorities. has confined the reorganiza-
ton of the National Guard to the one
regiment now in existence, and that on
the simplest and most practical lines; and
! it is expected that the next general as
sembly will replace the militia law now
on the books with a statute more suitable
/ to the conditions and circumstances Of
/ the present time. The military Jaw of
Vermont needs thorough revision.
based on the experience of 1898, The
young citizen soldiers of '9S are eager to
give their best efforts, their time, energy,
and brains toward the development OF a
militia that will be a credit 10 the State,
that will be something beside a play
thing. If the Lawmakers will meet them
half way, some of the errors, some of
the sins of omission and commission tina,
occasioned costly sacrifices in 1898. will be
avoided in future.

Goebei aud His Attempt to Steal q
GOvernOrship.

If William Goebel of Kentucky dies
from an assassn's shot it will illustra q
with a little variation the old proverb
by the sword. Goebel had a political
quarrel with Col. John Sanford an op-
ponent of his in the democratic party, and
meeting him on the street, shot him dead.
He pleaded that Col. Sanford was about
to draw a pistol and he shot in self-de-
fence. Though it was proved that SAM
ford was not armed, Goebel got clear.
The killing of her husband drove Col
Sanfords wife insane, and she has never
recovered her mind.
The present turmoil in Kentucky began
last June, when Goebel determined ia
make himself governor of the State. lie

ating convention of his party
but had control of the democratic
State committee and enough anti-Goebe
delegates were thrown out to give the
control of the convention to Goebel He
thus secured the nomination; but another
convention was held and an opposition
