TRIO OF STRONG MEN.

The President of the State Normal
and Industrial School at Greensboro
gave the visitors of that institution
n treat in furnishing trio of strong
men and able Congressman at yester-
days commencement occasion. The
speaker. of the day was Judge De
Almond. of Missouri, one of the first
men in public life in the United
States He is of all the Democratic
leaders in Congress the ablest, with
the possible exception of Bailey, and
is easily the most direct. clear-cut,
and forcibfe speaker in the present
House. He strengthened himself in
North Carolina by his great speech at
Greensboro yesterday. Only the pres
ence of the campaign prevented a
large gathering of the States public
men to hear him.
Mr.. John III. Small is the foremost
of our younger public men in the
cause of public education, and his adj
dress was worthy his reputation.
Mr.. Kitchin did not make ser
speech, being at home. He is one Of
the States first young men.
DR.. McIver could not have secured
a more popular trio to add to the
glory of commencement.

THE PROPER COURSE.

The action of Mr.. j. u. Green, chair
man of the Populist executive com
mittee Of Union county, is one which
ought to be adopted by the Popnlist
COMMITTEES in every county in the
State. He announces that he will
call no convention TO nominate can
didates and suggests that 1.-The Peo-
pies party voters of the county act as
their conscience and judgment would
dictate as to the local affairs" He
also says:
''Populists will be left free as to the
State and National tickets. even if
they should vote for local candidates
in the Democratic primaries, unless
the Democratic executive committee
makes a proscriptive and ironclad
ruling as to who shall participate in
their local primaries.
after the amendment is adopted
and the ''nigger" question is removed
from politics, SO that members of q
new party can vote their sentiments
without being called backhearted
there will then be an opportunity for
the Peoples party or some other re-
form party opposed to the domination
OF monopoly to build up and become
a power for good in this State
after the Amendment is adopted
and the 'nigger' question is removed
from politics." writes Mr.. Green. He
understands that there is but one way
to remove the "nigger" question from
politics. and that is to remove the
bulk of the negroes from voting. The
Constitutional Amendment is the on
~ way to remove them, and Mr..
Green is honest enough to say what
everybody knows to be true, and
brave enough to act upon his convic-
tons. In spite Of the frantic appeals
of the Populist party pap-suckers,
most of the Populist voters will sup
port the Amendment as white men re-
serving to themselves the right to be-
long to any party they please. But
there can be but two parties in North
Carolina as long as all the negroes
! vote-the negro party and the white
mans party. Mr.. Green, Mr.. Price,
Mr. Marsh and other Union county
! Populsts wish a chance for indepen-
! dent action, and seeing there is no
/, chance for it except through the adop-
ton of the Amendment, will vote for
J it. In doing so they are logical.

IT IS NOW ALRIGHT.

Our Home. the organ of the POpu-
list party in the Sixth Congressional
district, edited by Mr.. j. L. Green,

, the State misrepresenting the Amend
: ment Mr.. Green is a Populist, he de-
nounces the Democrats very severely,
but he tells the truth about the
Amendment He says
THE Legislature amended the pro-
! posed Constitutional Amendment by
combining sections and and adding
another section declaring the whole
suffrage scheme ''indivisibe.' AS it
now stands we see no danger of any
white man being DISTINGUISHED and
shall therefore support the Amend
ment. The Populist party is compos-
ed of white men. 1t has always been
and always will be dependent for its
existence upon white voters. There
fore viewing it from strictly a party
standpoint the Amendment can not
under any consideration ne in the
way Of the new party, but by tenn
porarily eliminating the negro ques-
ton from politics it will be great
advantage to any party that seeks to
bring about honest reform. No new
party can succeed in the South as long
as the race problem hobs up in every
campaign, and the elimination of this
question means a great deal towards
elevating politics to higher and more
decent plane
The honest Populists- and there
are many of them-dd not leave the
Democratic party to be used by But
Ter and other salary-drawing leaders
to restore negro rule and to perpet-
uate negro officeholding. They want
to elevate politics to higher and
more decent plane" and will do it by
voting for the Amendment.
