THE REPUBLICAN CONSPIRACY
EXPOSED,

We publish elsewhere the details of a
| conspiracy which the Republican leaders
| have entered into to destroy the Corsti-
| tutional Amendment regulating suffrage.
The exposure is made by Senator Sim
| mons, State chairman, with circumstan-
TALLY and in the fullest detail, showing
that he has full information of the plans
which the Republican party has Matched
out as their only hope of victory in North
Carolina.
The exposure of this conspiracy will
defeat its successful operation. There
is no prostitution Of power, no crime
against the rights of white voters, no
use of Federal patronage to which the
Republicans of North Carolina would not
resort TO re-elect Senator Pritchard. And
in their attempt to regain power they
will have, AS they had in 1898 and 1900.
all the money they desire. But in 1902
they will find. as they found in 1898 and
in 1900, that The people of North Carolina
can neither be bought nor bulldozed. Thew
intend to preserve the fruits of the vic
tory they won by much sacrifice and
strenuous effort in 1898 and in 1900.
1t behooves the Democratic State Con-
vention at Greensboro to declare in no
uncertain terms that the party will de-
fend the suffrage amendment against ali
attacks, and to arraign all who seek to
destroy it outright or to prevent the
blessings it was intended to convey from
being realized. Let the gauntlet be
thrown down to the Republican conven-
tion either to accept the amendment and
pledge themselves not to attempt to an
null it, or to come out in the open and
repeat their declaration of 1900 of hos
tility 20 it. They will not be permitted
to try to ride botn horses. They must
either accept the amendment, accept the
elimination of the negro and make their
appeal to the reduced electorate, or they
must attack the amendment openly and
depend in the future as in the past upon
the solid negro vote.
1t does not take prophet to fore
tell which horn of the dilemma Senator
pritchards party will take;it will stand
by the negro vote, fer it knows that it
can never appeal with any hope of sue
cess to the good white people of North
Carolina.
In connection with the exposure by
Senator Simmons, it may be stated that
the Republican bosses, as a condition
precedent TO appointing certain so-called
Comm ercial Democrats to office in
North Carolina require them TO pay a
certain large per cent OF their salary to
help elect Pritchard men to the Legisla-
ture.

Those Who Take Boer Medicines!

z A study of this Blue Book, issued last
night, goes to show that everything hui
manly possible is being done for the
comfort. of those men, women, and chill
dren whom the Boer methods of waging
war have thrown on our protection. Some
good people-they are most pro-Boers,
their protestations of human motives not
withstanding-have made a great noise
about the mortality in the camps Many
of these deaths have been brought about
by Boer ignorance, as the following eX-
tract from DR.. Kendall Franks's report on
the camp at Bloemfontsin goes to show;
"One day Mr.. ]. Kruger. nephew OF
the ex-President, asked the Superinten-
dent to use his influence with DR.. Beau

principal medical officer. told me that he
was once sent for to see a child who was

covered that the parents had killed goat
and cut it open, removing all the III
ternal organs. They had then put the
child bodily inside the goat, with head
alone protruding through the opening
