STIRRING TIMES IN FAYETTEVILLE.
FAYETTEvILLE, April %, 1901.
"When thieves fall out" honest
men not only get their dues" but
find out the tricks and meanness Of
the thieves.
The mayoralty contest here Is at
q white heat. The Irregular" DEM
Ocrats here nominated w. S. Cook
and the "irregular" Democrats have
nominated J. ID. McNeill, and the
Irregular" and "irregular" Republi-
cans have nominated John Under
wood.
Mayor Cook has made very ef-
ficient officer. He is not one of
these low, dirty politicians.
The morning of the August elec-
tion, when the news reached Fay
etteville that the registration book
was stolen at Cedar Creek, some of
the infamous ballot box thieves
were going to fire off cannon to
celebrate the theft, and Mayor Cook
issued an order saying the man or
men who fired off the cannon In
Fayetteville to celebrate such an in
famous crime would be sent to Jail.
Cook is being supported by the
dispensary element, and McNeill by
the whisky element.
McNeill is playing his last on the
political stage.
He has been charged with more
political rascality than any other
man in the county, and as much as
any man in the Th rd Congressional
District, and doubtless he is guilty;
he has never denied much OF it, II
any.
He is a member of the State Elec
tson Board, aud had all the eternal
fitness and a lifelong experience,
He said during the August cam
paign that he had resigned, but il
proved to be fake.
The anti-McNeill and Hale peo
pie have started newspaper in Op

or, which is edited by H. 1. McDuf

The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1901-05-09

There Is no doubt that some OF
the most effective influences In the
Southern country are actively at work
with q view to forming new era of
thought in the South, and that the
main hope is to dislodge from coun.
ellis and power that class Of men
who hold ballot-box stuffing and
fraud and red shirtism as the highest
principles in politics. 1t is q fact
that for some years past such q
purpose has been openly declared by
number Of the most able and
honest men in the South, and while
they have adhered to that purpose,
they have been given such baptism
of political fire as the old, moss back
regime supporters could administer.
But these pioneers never wavered,
and now some Of their most fero-
cious opponents Of past years are
falling into line. Even Mr.. w. J.
Bryan sees the signs of the times
and utters a warning to the "Demo-
cy"-that Democracy which bases
all existence 1t can claim on a plat
form stolen from the Peoples
Party, and which depends Tor its
success solely on fraud, ballot-box
stuffing and red shirt force.
A few comments here appended
some of which may have been pub
lished before, will offer some sug-
gestion as to the efforts being made,
and which it may wen be hoped
will prove successful:

Kansas City Journal.
President Mckinley's efforts TO re-
establish fraternal relations between
the North and the South are not
without results. There are many
gratifying evidences that the sec
tional prejudice which has held on
so tenaciously among the Southern
people has greatly weakened within
the last few years. 1t is true tina,
the war with Spain was largely re-
sponsible for this, but ii was mainly
the Presidents treatment of the
South in the conduct of that war
that did the work. The appoint
ment of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, Gen.
Wheeler and other prominent ex-
onfederates to important positions
in the military service accomplished
more in the direction OF reunitine
the two sections than anything else
ever attempted.
Bryan ON the ''New Movement
Lincoln, Neb., May I'm a state
ment made to-day, William J. Bryan
takes Senator McLaurin, of South
Carolina, to task, for what he de-
clares is his political flop. At the
same time, Mr.. Bryan admits that
Senator McIaurin's action marks the
beginning Of movement in the
South, which will have an influence
upon the politics of the nation. He
says:
at is not likely that Mr.. McLaur.
in will be the leader of the move
ment, because he is handicapped by
the fact that he is using his official
position to misrepresent the views
and interests Of his constituents, bu,
some leader will arise to give direc.
tion and force to the aristocratic and
plutocratic element for which Mr.
McLaurin speaks. There is such ar
element in every community, and
now that the race question no longer
unifies the white people of the
Southern States, it will doubtless
manifest itself. .-.
"Senator Tillman- has already
taken up the gauge of battle thrown
down by Senator McLaurin, anc
will doubtless be able to marshal 6
considerable majority in that state
but the same influences are at worl
in other states, where there is great
er danger of their success.

McLaurin of that state in support

new possessions. In his opinion i
would be healthy for South Carolin
to have an active opposition to tn
machine that occupies the saddle il
that State. Ex-senator Butler a
our readers will remember was one
the bitterest fire eater in the Who'll
