twenty thousand negro votes, added to
the Republican and dissatisfied Demo-
cratic vote. they Will be able at least to
carry enough counties to control the
Legislature.
1.-THE conspirators have thoroughly dis
c,1ssed in connection with this scheme
the election law passed by the last Leg
islature and are greatly encouraged and
comforted in their enterprise by it's fair
ness and the large representation 1t
gives to the opposition party. They
expect. before their designs upon the
amendment are discovered, that the
county boards, registrars, judges OF
election, etc, will nave been appointed
and organized, and that they will have
secured on these boards all the repre-
sentation necessary to protect their
voters and to carry out their con-
spiracy.
This is the Republican scheme to cap
ture the State, and it is the basis of all
the predictions we have heard recently
of the reelection Of the present Rcpub-
lican Senator. 1t is not a scheme merely
in contemplation but one which has been
discussed, matured and agreed upon. In
asserting this, | speak not from con-
IccLuIt, DuL llOIu pOoIIIN a4d
"Of course, the success of this scheme
required the utmost secrecy, and for this
reason but few have been taken into the
inner circle. Tho lieutenants have been
given to understand that tho party
chiefs have a big card up their sleeves,
which it is expected at the right time
will be played and sweep the deck. But

cept the big leaders. The success of this
scheme requires also the prostitution Of
the judiciary for purely partisan pur-
poses, but Republican officialdom in
North Carolina is a close corporation,
and this part of the program presents
no practical difficulties.
Il have felt it my duty to expose this
conspiracy to take snap Judgment
| against the white people of he State
| and bring them again under the yoke OF
| negro domination. Never did the old
maxim, ''forewarned, fo~re-armed," apply
| With greater force. In the name of the
white people of North Carolina | tell
these conspirators that never again, I'M
der any circumstances. will negro rule
be permitted to exist i'll North Carolina.
White supremacy is not only written in
the constitution, but it is written in tho
hearts of the White people of the State.
If the Republican party hopes again tC
come into power in North Carolina, it
must look elsewhere than to the negro
vote. All hopes of political success
based upon that vote is doomed to dis
appointment. They must either accept
the amendment in good faith or openly
repudiate. They will not be permitted
to invoke its benificcnt and liberalizing
provisions while secretly plotting its as
s~assination."
