did not move in spite Of its lilly white
complexion.
All over the State, east and west, In
the white and the black belts alike, the
mongrel ticket lost heavily on the Nc
Kinley vote of 1896. Another such ticket
nominated in 1904 will give the State to
German should he be the nominee of the
Democratic party, 100000 majority. And
If Pritchard can guarantee Butler a safe
delivery from coat of tar and feathers
and induce him to take the risk making
few speeches in the State, the majority
may reach $4,000.
Presumably six thousand negroes reg
istered and voted in the last election
Passing as they did the Gordon of Demo
cratic registrars they constituted the
very best element of their race in the
State. To exclude representatives of this
class from participation in the
councils of the party in order to cater
to the prejudices of the 'ignis fatus
Halifax and Edgecombe Democracy" is
not only a cowardly but a most asinine
policy.
1t was claimed that this movement
would sweep the labor districts of the
State, but 1T is significant fact that the
heaviest majorities against the mongrel
ticket were in the labor districts. The
policy of the Greensboro convention, OF
rather | should say Mr.. Pritchard's policy
for he was the convention, placed the
Republican party in this State in most
illogical and utterly indefensible position.
It was the triumph of the Butler idea
Treachery and base ingratitude to our
black allies!
Illogical and indefensible because ii
was declaring in effect that the 14th and
18th amendments had no place in our
national platform and that if left to us
we would sweep both from the organic
laws. AS Mr.. Roosevelt has we'll said
"such movement was utterly subversive
of every principle in the Republican plat
form" l am sure. my dear sir, that
voice the sentiment of every true Repub-
lican in this State who has steadily
voted the ticket from Grant to Mckinley,
when / express the hope that in this
matter you will give scant countenance
to this migrate Butler, who dragged from
obscurity, and warmed into life by the
black voters of North Carolina, with his
innate sense of treachery, is now stabbing
them in the house of their friends.
And of one thing the administration
may rest we'll content. AS between the
appointment of Wick the competent and
respectful negro, and Populist OF the
Butler variety nine-tenths of the white
peopla of the State, regardless of party
will, endorse and approve the appoint
ment Of the former. With high regard

EIGHT HUGE DRY KILNs BURNED.
A Big Fire Raging at the Roper Lumber Mills
Near Norfolk.
(By the Associated Press.)

Norfolk, Va, Dec. pa fire which
started at o'clock tonight in the large
lumber mills of the John L. Roper Lum-
Der Company, at Gilmerton, six miles
from Norfolk on the southern branch OF
the Elizabeth River had, up to 1880
o'clock, destroyed eight immense dry
kilns and over two million feet of lum-
Der.
At midnight it was burning with re-
rewed fury and had not been in the least
cotton under control as there is no great
amount of fire fighting apparatus on the
scene except the volunteer and bucket
brigades. At midnight it was considered
that there was little chance of saving any
of the kilns and lumber.
President John l.. Roper stated that he
was unable to estimate the loss, but it
will be very considerable.
