be elected. he accurately described
Butler.
You turned us out In 1894 and
turned in Russell and Butler. You
have heard the story of their rule
many times, but | must tell il again
for the young generation. | hate to
tell thesdirty things that they did for
this is nice audience. During the
two years the republicans were in,
they put up such a sorry government
u North Carolina from Raleigh. 10
Wilmington that white men could
hardly live there And those repub-
licans who are now calling out for
local self-goyernment, those radicals,
governed the towns in the eastern
part of the state from Raleigh. And
the government that they gave them
was so bad that no woman could go
on the streets unaccompanied. All
the white men bought guns It was
so bad that in New Hanover county
the white men had to run the officers
Of the county out Of the Office. Their
government was so bad that in 1895
the people gave me majority OF co.
900. Since that day we have had
peace and harmony. We have dis
franchised the negro. and We have
not taken any Of the school money to
pay ourselves"
At this point Mr.. Aycock went in
10 discussion Of his administration
and told Of how the money had been
spent.
South Dakota Bonds.
I'VE tried to settle the bond mat
tiers. but we bad no money and Of
fered TO give % per cent. on the dol
lar for the bonds. Some Of the bond
holders took this price, but others
held on. They wanted more. Now
an individual can not sue a state but
a sister state can. So some OF these
bond holders gave these bonds TO
South Dakota. and that state sued
North Carolina, aud won the suit. and
we had TO pay the money. As soon
as this was done a syndicate OF North
Carolina bondholders was formed.
Who we're the lawyers OF this syndl-
cater Where did 1t get Us Informal
toni The men that brought the suit
were the republican governor and the
republican senator. They got to-
gether and rooted mp si5.O0O.000 of
these bonds and tried to collect them.
and the state Is nov being flooded
with letters from this syndicate, trying
10 urge the state 70 pay these repud-
lated bgnds. Butler came down to
the state 10 purify the state and get
them 70 pay what be calls their hon
est debts. Bu as long a. the demo-
Gratis stay IN power these bonds Will
not be paid tilI We are able to take
up The honest ones.
They are now trying 10 elect three
associate justices. Al Of these men
have indicated that they did not be-
lieye in the amendment 70 the consti-
tuition that DISTINGUISHED the negro.
Now II these men are put In they will
have the right to restore The vote 10
the negro, and from this there can
be no appeal.
