A SAMPLE LIE,

The Black -andTan gang are circu-
lating a circular letter to the effect
that at the Kansas City Democratic
convention, 1.-THE white men put out
of the hall and colored champion in
vited on the platform and capturing
the convention" This is a plain,
bare-faced lie. No white men were
put out of the hall and no negro cap
tured the convention.
The truth is that just as the con-
vention was adjourning and the hall
was III confusion, a negro from Mis-
souri, was recognized to say that there
were negroes in this country who
would vote for Bryan and Stevenson,
and that a negro convention had been
held to declare for him. So far as the
North Carolina delegation was con-
cerned, most of them were on the
point of leaving the hall when the
negro began to speak, and they did
not remain to hear him.
That's all the foundation there is for
this lie, but it is about as much foun-
dation as any of their campaign lies
rest upon.
is it any wonder that the people
place no confidence in anything the
Radicals say when they twist the
truth SO as in this instance?

SENDING DOWN THE MONEY

Yesterday morning Butler and the
other Republicans sent out agents
into all the small and all the close
counties, armed with Doodle. On the
previous day, Bailey, of Davie, treas
urer, who carries the bag" came
down to- Raleigh with a supply OF
''soap" to be used in carrying the
elections. 1t was fresh from Hanna
and most of it was in crisp new one
and two dollar bills with now and
then a five dollar william
The Black-andTan gang has given
up all hope of carrying the State, de
feating the amendment, or electing
any man ON the State ticket, but they
still hope to save the Legislature from
the wreck of worlds. To that end
they are devoting their every energy
and distributing the money Hanna has
sent down.
Butler asked: "Shall we simply
throw away the State ticket? m );
We had better sacrifice the State
ticket because WE MUST HAVE THE
LEGISLATURE" The Legislature
elects the successor to Butler in the
Senate. See?
The Democrats in the small and
doubtful counties should be on their
guard and use every effort to carry
the election. They will have to fight
Hanna's wallet and Buffers deviitry,
but the people are honest and cannot
be bribed! az

THEY ARE WHITE MEN.

There are few census enumerators
who are neither Republicans nor Re
publicans masMuerading as Populists, .
but who are white men and will vote
white. Among them are Messrs. r.
n. Wynne and c. Z. McCullers, OF
Wake county. They were appointed
bv jenkins because they were Popu-
lists. 1t is not to be doubted that
Jenkins thought if he appointed these
gentlemen he might by such patron
age seduce them into voting the Fus-
ion ticket. If he had any such idea
he was mistaken. Speaking about this
matter yesterday Mr.. Wynne and Mr.
McCullers said: 1--WE were appointed
without a word being said about poll
tics. Mr.. Jenkins knew that we were
straight Populists and had supported
Atwater for Congress. We will vote
for the amendment because we are
white"
1t is gratifying to print this because
this paper has been very severe upon
the census takers, many of whom
have been peripetetic political prose
lyters. We are glad that those two
Populists stand now where they stood
two years ago and will not vote for
any fusion candidate for any office
If there had been more census enum-
orators like these two, we could have
more faith in the census

Col. John w. Hinsdale,

Dear Sir: Replying to your letter of
July 18th, | write to say that / went
into the Populist party from princi-
pie and because L thought it best for
our people. / did not intend to go
with the Republican party and | did
not intend my vote to place the ne
groes over the white people. At one
time | thought l would vote against
the amendment because l thought 1T
would disfranchise some of the white
folks, but since receiving your letter
/ am now satisfied that it will keep
nobody from voting, except the ne
g.roes, and / have made up my mind
TO vote for it. | hope all my friends
will vote for the amendment, because
I believe if it is not adopted it will
bring great distress upon the white
people. [ cannot read or write and
/ know if the amendment is adopted,
I will vote the balance of my life:
nv sons will also vote for the amend
ment. / will be glad if you will have
your letter to me and my reply pub

ority For the Amendment.

Special to the News and Obseryer)
Kinston, N. c., July 26-Ed. Pou spoke
one and three quarter hours to four or
FIVE thousand people here today. The
speech was splendid and did great good.
Several converts for the amendment were
made. The parade ana entire program
was the biggest Democratic success here
for years. In the parade were three
floats filled with girls, dressed in white.
A large body of mounted red shirts also
were present. The Wilson band rendered
inspiring music. The procession was q
quarter of mile long, and was led by
two lads on white horses. The dinner
was good, and there was plenty for all.
After dinner Carraway and Morrill, made
short, ringing speeches. Enthusiasm and
determination are at white heat here.
This county will give from five to seven
hundred majority of the amendment. The
best of order prevailed.

HE FAvORs THE AMENDMENT.
A Former Populist Gives Good Reasons in a
Letter to Col. Hinsdale

The following correspondence,
which explains itself, shows how a
wise and patriotic uneducated man
who was Populist, looks at the
amendment:
Mr.. Needham 3. johnson.
Banks, n. {.
Dear Sir: In writing to some of my
old comrades in the State, L am re-
minded that the relations between
you and | are specially warm and
that 1 can talk to you as one of your
best friends. | have not seen you
lately and have not heard you eX-
press your views upon the COnStltu-
tional Amendment about to be adopt
ed, but take it for granted that you
feel as | do and as | believe all of
our old comrades do in regard to the
matter, and that is that the white
people of our State must stand to-
gether upon this important question.
You know that | am not a politician
and never ran for an office and there
fore view the situation in calm and
dispassionate light. This election is
the most important in my judgment,
has ever been held in the State. l
feel that our prosperity and happi.
ness depends upon the issue, and /
believe if the amendment is carried
our grand old State will be greatly
benefited and we will have great cause
for rejoicing. The time has come
when the negro must be taken out
of politics and the white people left
to rule, as our forefathers intended.
The Constitutional amendment will
not disfranchise any white man and
is only intended to keep the negro
from dominating the white people of
the State. If any of our friends have
any doubt about this, | would be
glad to talk with them and show
that what / have said is true.I sin
cerely hope that you are in the en-
ioyment of good health and will al
ways be glad TO see you when in
town.
Yours very truly,

is that it was all right to disfranchise
10000 Of the best white men of the
State and turn North Carolina over to
the negroes, scalawags, and carpet bag
gers, because these men had exercised
their constitutional right to follow their
State when it lawfully seeded from the
chise $4,000 negroes, who are not fit to
exercise the right of suffrage.
Which party is right, white voters?
