so well qualified to fill the great office of
President. If he should be nominated
and elected we would have q President
who Is also complete master OF legisla-

get along smoothly. That was one great
point in the success of the late President
Mckinley. He was popular with men of
all parties IN Congress. Mr.. German is
well liked in North Carolina, and it is my
opinion that a majority of our people
favor his nomination.
T. 2. Kluttz: Personally | favor the
nomination of Judge Parker. but 1 be-
lieve sentiment in North Carolina is more
strongly favorable to Senator German. l
think it a fair estimate to say German
is preferred in North Carolina with Judge
Parker the next candidate in popularity
think the disposition is to yield to the
judgment OF New York in the matter.
Edwin Y. Webb: Senator German has
been looming up in North Carolina since
the big Democratic victory in his own
State. His staunch supporters in our
country are very numerous.
John H. Small: Most of the North
Carolina Democrats appear to be favor
ably inclined to Senator German.

| ington, D. c., December "a, 1902.-To the
Editor: My attention has been called TO
a communication from Greensboro in your

leading and untrue references are made
to me. Your correspondent has been
| grossly mlsintormed 1t is current know

anything to do with establishing Fed

lasting emnlty of Judge Boyd. As mem
Der of the 57th Congress, in doing what
1 could for the people of the Sth district
was instrumental in establishing that
court; and in so doing it seems l fell in
the wake OF his displeasure, which he
has seen fit to manifest in many different
ways, and, upon many occasions sl
that time even to the extent OF using
his official position by threatening to dis
miss from office the commissioners and
clerks appointed by him, it they did not
oppose my nominal ton, and even lin case
of nomination. bolt the ticket and vote
against me. I have heretofore ignored
his opposition, but when it is intimated
to your correspondent at Greensboro that
am in Washington endeavoring to en-,
barrass or injure Judge Boyd, to aid nc
in my fight against Mr.. Iinney that is
very base and cowardly falsehood. /
Lave not seen Mr.. r. H. McNcal since
my arrival in Washington, nor have l
conspired with any one else. If any diff
ferences have existed between Judge Boyd
and me, he alone has precipitated them.
Whatver action he has taken in the con
test in the 9Th district against me- has
been gTatuitOuS EpOn his part and the
press should not now be sought to re-

sition he may find himself in, by endeav-

AS to my criticism of Judge Robinson,
that was in public interview in Char

inson himself, and nothing more nor less
than has been state by Judge Boyd. I
have never been candidate for ie po-
sition which Judge Robinson now holds

HIS DAUGHTER WILL NOT RETURN
A Patron of Trinity College Does Not
Approve of Bassettism.

To the Editor: The "Whte washing
FIasco'' OF the officials of Trinity Col
lege In regard to Bassett's resignation
that seems to indicate-"You tender it
and we will refuse to accept"-pre-ar-
rangement, was such shock coming on
the heels OF Bassett's utterances, that
many have not had time to think
where are We drifting? whittier are we
going? and where will we land? Just a
week ago the writer was appealed to for
advice by a patron of the college. This
patron has Il daughter in the college-a
bright, smart Southern girl She will
soon be through school days-her work
ings are of a high order. She wants 20
go on and complete her course, but the
father like all true men-who see tbs
negro as he is-and whose observation
strengthens the position of Dr. Lobeaty
as regards the folly of the Higher Edu-
ca ton OF the negro, and who like All true
Southern gentlemen would rather bring
that daughter UP III ignorance than have
her remain IN an Institution of Learn
ing" that has a member of its faculty
who teaches and says that any negro was
a greater man than our Vance. Greater
than Badger; greater than Manly; geatcr
than Pearson and host of others within
our own borders to say nothing of those
beyond. Is this not spectacle that the
white people, the patrons OF the school
OF reat religious denomination are
asked to submit to- with no recourse.
This patron viii not be a patron much
longer unless relief is forthcoming-and
remarked to the writer that From a
negro standpoint, the editorial of the
negro Manly that brought forth such /
summary out-burst of punishment and
destruction OF the printing office and his
Punishment barely escaping with his lite,
were not more reprehensible than Were
those OF Bassett in the eyes of many of
the patrons OF Trinity College" Such a
view OF the situation makes one the more
astonished at the situation, after the ac-
ton of the Trinity officials, who instead
OF accepting the resignation OF Bassett
as a mild way of relieving the patrons
Of the school from embarrassnent-ac
tually insulted them as in this instance
by still further foisting him upon them
and as this patron says, by their re-
fusal to get rid of him, say by their &C
tions. that they share his views" He
suggests a procedure and if the action
of the officials is then sustained he will
be content, viz: Call a meeting of the
patrons Of the school and let them ex
press their wishes and then after they
have acted let the officials abide by such
action-as regards Bassett."
