Exhibited.
NEW YORK, October 22.-The sporting
cog element was very strongly represent
ed to-day in the Ladies Kennel Associa
ton show at Madison Square Garden. The:
strength Of these classes was something
of surprise, upsettng as it did the gen
orally accepted notion that women only
cared for pet dogs. AS matter of fact,
The women took more than their share OF
the prizes in the sporting classes.
The general judgment is that the class
OF the sportinS-dog show is very high.
Particularly is this true of the English
settlers and spanlels. The Irish settlers
were neither numerous nor of high quail
>ty. This breed appears to have lost ia
vor with the dog fancierS.

FOLKS WHO PUT 1000 NEGROES
OFFICE VERY SENSITIVE
ABOUT BEING TOLD OFT.

Why is it that .Pritchard. the Char
lotte Observer. the Morning Post and the
other open and convert anti-Democratic
forces go into Mysteries every time the
Democrats claim credit for passing the
constitutional amendment and say they
are talking ''nigger?" Is it because they
do not wish to have any reference to
the miserably bad government inflicted
on the State by Pritchard, Jim Young &.
Co., and wish to deny the Democrats
credit for the adoption of the Constitu-
tional amendment restricting suffrage.
They are seeking, through THE SAME
MEN WHO PUT 1000 NEGROES IN
OFFICE AND FOUGHT THE SUFFRAGE
AMENDMENT, to restore the Republican
party to power in North Carolina. They
know they cannot do this if the people
keep in mind their past record. There
fore, their Mysteries against any mention
of niger
when there is respectable Republican
party in this State, though we do not
believe it, But one thing is certain; 1t
will not be brought into existence under
the leadership of the men who put 1000
negroes in office between 1895 and 1899,
or through men who opposed the suffrage
amendment. The people know their true
sentiment They have tried them
weighed them in the balances and found
them wanting-and will not follow where
they lead. When they are all dead ana
new leaders have been born and when
this generation has passed away that re-
members the corrupt and disgraceful gov
crnment of 1896 '99-then and not till
then can there be even hope for any
strong and respectable Republican party
in North Carolina
It is because Pritchard & Co. wish to
reap where they have not sown that they
get excited about any reference to the
-.nigger" But just as long as they
claim that the amendment opens the
door FOR division among the whites, just
SO long will the people give credit to the
Democrats for freeing them from the
evils of ''nigger rule" Mr.. Craig did not
make a Niger speech at Kinston. 1t
was a speech of power on State and ma
tional issues but Pritchard's echoes seek
to break its force by crying out that he
talked niger" Well, if telling the
people that they are wise only in trusting
tho party that disfranchised many ne
groes is talking niger then Prltchard
& Co., will have to follow the example
of Fusion Judge Robinson and stuff cot
ton in their ears.

lact that when Mr.. cleveland became
President he had to issue bonds. He
stated that fact with such plausibility
that II made some impression. When
Mr.. Craig came to reply he showed that
the plates for bonds issued by Cleveland
had peen prepared by Harrison, who was
just on the point of issuing the bonds
When MS term expired, and had the
plates and paper ready. Mr. Craig shoW-
cd that then as in the State administra-
tons present deficit, the necessity for
bond issue or borrowing money was due
to Republican Legislation. He made the
point with dramatic power and the peo-
pie cheered him heartily. The splendid
manner in which he disposed of Pritch-
ards plausible sophistry caught the peo-
pie, delighted all Democrats and con-
founded all Republicans"

A paddock On BIS MOUTH.

When q man in North Carolina, who
has at one time belonged to party that
permits independence of thought and &C
ton. accents a nomination at the hands
of Radical postmasters, revenue doodles,
and the rest of the Radical bosses. he
slrrenders his right to think aloud:
Take the case of Mr.. Patterson. A few
nights ago a handful of Republicans,
calling themselves Democrats, held a
mass meeting in a hall room in the
Benbow House in Greensboro, and went
through the farce of nominating Mr.. rat
terson for Congress. On Monday the
Radicals, bossed by Postmaster Rey-
nolds and other Radical pap-suckers, met
in Greensboro and also nominated Mr.
Patterson. AS soon as the nomination
was made, on motion of Postmaster Key
nolds. a paddock was put on Mr. Pat
tersons mouth and he was forbidden to
have a Joint canvass with Mr.. Kitchen.
Mr.. Patterson will now. when he gets
Mr.. Kitchin's challenge, answer that the
revenue doodles and postmasters have
put a paddock on his mouth and forbidden
him to meet his opponent in the open
and let the people decide between them,
after hearing the issues discussed.
Elsewhere we publish the speech of
Postmaster Reynolds, explaining why he
onnoses a Joint canvass. The reason is
this: He knows the people will repudiate
Patterson and the Radical party if they
hear a fair discussion. Therefore he
wishes to put gum shoes on his candidate
and send him through the district saying
his little speech where nobody can an
swer it. If Mr.. Patterson follows the
lead of Pritchard in his speeches, he may
be thankful that a gum shoe, paddock
mouthed campaign has been cut out for
him by the doodlers. The Senator has
statement or criticism he has made of
the State administration, and has been
as dumb as an oyster as to his attitude
upon important questions, to the confu-
sion of the doodlers who were on hand
cat their regular salary to applaud.
The doodlers wish no suchs spectacle and
so they have ordered Mr.. Patterson not
to give his opponent any opportunity to
expose his mistakes and the crimes of
the Radical gang with which he is now
training.
Postmaster Reynolds knows that his
party cannot stand their record in North
Carolina. He says he wants to run away
from it, and that's why he will not let
Mr.. Patterson debate with Mr.. Kitchin
But MIR. Patterson cannot escape the vote
of condemnation which the people will
administer to all Republicans and their
allies in November.

PRITCHARD's PRAYER.

At Smithfeld Pritchard claimed credit
TO rthe Republican party for every good
thing that has happened in decade, and
vet he lost his temper when Mr.. Craig
claimed that the Democrats should have
the credit for the passage of the Con-
stitutional amendment and all the bless
ings growing out of its adoption. III
Pritchard thanks the Lord for the
elimination of the negro. he thereby
thanks the Democratic party who were
the instruments through whom the Lord
carried out what Pritchard thinks was
His will.
Pritchard's rendering thanks to the
Lord for the use of the Democrats to
thwart the plans of the North Carolina
Radicals, led by the Senator, is new
kind of prayer. 1t was equivalent to
praying: 20, Lord, deliver the people of
North Carolina from me and my party,
use the Democratic party as an agent TO
thwart the plans of the Republican party,
and thereby grant continued blessing and
peace to this good commonwealth.

not to nominate him, and they did it Sal
