nominated in a little room by eighteen
men on Saturday.
The Republicans md Populists who
made UP the small meeting were dis
mai over the small turnout that came
after call for a mass convention
one OF the leaders had said "rhere'll
be thousand people present" but IL,
place of it some fifty or sixty made
up the meeting.
And yesterday there was disnay on
the countenances of the,"leaders'' for
1t had leaked out that two candidates
on the legislative ticket had voted for
a negro in place of white man, these
two men being w. Il. Barrow. first an
nounced by himself and V. c.. Terry
as an independent candidate and
James NJ. Ferrell
The records were examined yeSteP-
day and it was found that the repOr:
was correct. and that Barrow and Fer

gro is Col. Jim Young and the white
man Hon. n. Is. BrOughtOn.
This took place in the Fusion Legis-
lature of 1897 when Barrow was a
member of the House from Franklin
and Terrell a member from Wake.
Both were Populists and both are now

ferred the negro to the white man are
set up as candidates seeking the votes
of white men.
Will the scheme work? Not bit
of it. The true men of Wake county
will put their heels upon ticket on
which are men who prefer the negro
to the white man.
One other thing that shows that the
influence of Jim Young is for this
ticket OF his friends. He was active on
Saturday last in trying to keep Dave
Lane, the negro lawyer. from stirring
up the meeting. He wanted Lane to
keep quiet, just as the other negro
Republicans are to keep quiet. and
vote the ticket.
Jim Young is not to be blamed. Bar

Now in 1904 Jim Young is standing
by Barrow and Terrell.
