blacks, who rigidly drew the color line in
the late election, will not assist the whis

is equally plain that the Republican all es

tickeL
It means, adopting their leader, Mr.
Clevelands' ideas, "party organiza
tion" is a good thing, if we frame the
platform and dictate the party policy,
out "party organization" otherwise is
a very dangerous affair.
What hope is there of Democratic
success, if we pursue the course they
outline ?
None whatever. But if we make the
fight both upon the Chicago platform
and upon State issues, -that is the
"straight fight," and there is much to
gain and nothing to lose. -
We will draw men to us: I do not
believe we will drive any away, ex
cept those who voted for McKinley in
1896.
It is impossible to disassociate the
National issues from State issues, and
in North Carolina since the great
Vance and Settle campaign, they have
been inseparable. To adopt a policy
of nominating men who stand on the
Chicago platform and abandoning any
affirmance of the platform is a half
way and unsatisfactory measure to the
people at large.
As to the Chicago platform, I be
lieve it is growing in favor every day
with the people ot the whole country.
The issues of 1896 are practically un
changed, and to abandon the Chicago
platform, at this juncture in North
Carolina, would be suicidal party
policy. Stand by it and make the
fight upon it and also uponState
issnes and Democracy must finally
win. as it is doing in the late elections.

A gentleman has vouchsafed to ns
the following important information:
The Statesman (1) of Old Ford was in
town this week and named the candi
dates in the next campaign who will
bear the banner of white supremacy
aloft to victory. For the benefit of
said Statesman (t) we propose to give
an outline of the next campaign. The
next Democratic eonvention will en
dore in its entirety the Chicago plat
form of 1896. It will adopt a platform
on State issues that will satisfy every
white roan in North Carolina who
voted the Democratic ticket in any
election the past five years and hon
estly wishes a return to decent govern
ment. It' will ratify the nominations
for Superior Court Judges made by the
conventions of the several districts in
which terms of the judges expire and
these will be the only candidates nom
inated and voted for in the Bute at
large. There will be nothing about
fusion in the platform.- It will include
a strong and direct appeal to the white
manhood of North Carolina and a cor
dial invitation to those who have stray
ed from the foldtoeome back to the
rrand old Democratic party and join
hands with it in a suprema effort to
rescue our State from misrule and cor
ruption. This is the ounoox, out no

On inquiring of Capt. Humphreys
the cause of his halt, be informed me
that the road he had intersected had
recently been" travelled by a heavy
column of mounted troops. On ex
amination I fonnd this to be true, and
concluded we had run into Kil pat
rick's track. While we were discuss
ing the situation I discovered a de
tachment of cavalry following in the
rear of Kilpatrick's march, and rode
out into the forks of the road about
forty yards and halted with the usual
challenge, "Who comes there?" It
was then getting too dark to distin
guish between friend and foe. The
answer came, "5th Kentucky." Know
ing this to be one of Kilpatrick's regi
ments, I directed the commander of
the detachment, who turned out to be
a lieutenant, to ride up. as I wanted
to talk to him. Evidently not know?
ing who we were, he advanced with
his orderly and when I had led him
into the ranks of Humphrey's squad
ron it was the work of a few moments
to disarm and place him in arresti
This done, I whispered to Hum

twenty-eight in number, without fir
ing a gun.
. You will pardon what appears to be
minor, unimportant details, but they
have an important bearing upon what
followed.
As soon as Gen. Hampton had been
apprised of the facts, after consulta
tion between himself. Gen. Wheeler
and myself, it was decided to attack
Kil patrick the next morning at day
light. In order to do so more ad
vantageously, the whole column
moved forward from where we captur
ed the detachment, in columns of
fours, cautiously and quietly, about
four miles, where we halted and dis
mounted oa the roadside without un
saddling and without fires. The nig,ht
was dark with a cold drizzling rain.
I can never forget that night as we
lay without shelter or food for man or
horses, each man with the bridles on
his arm.
threw out some distance ia oar
front, 00 each side of the road, a line
of dismonnted skirmishers. They had
scarcely deployed when one of Kil
Patrick's lieutenants walked or road
into the line. He was brought to my
headquarters, a pioe log on the side of
the road, and on biog interrogated as
to why he was there at tbst time of the
night, he replied that he had been sent
back to look for a bioken down wagon,
and bad walked unawares into our
picket lioa. He was not inclined to
be communicative, but I learned
enough to enable me to locate Kil pat
rick's eamo pretty accurately. On the
strength of this information we reeoo
noitered his camp aboat midnight, tid
ing up almost to bis emp fires. Not a
picket ws posted, nor other precau
tion taken as far as we could discover,
to protect his camp against eurpriae.
My conclusion at the time was, (which
was confirmed by Gen. Kilpatriek in a
conversation I had with him since the
war), that the detachment of the 5th
Kentucky was expected to perform
that duty, and instead they had been
made prisoners of war without firing a
shot and without bis knowledge. 80
yon see the important bearing of their
capture. Kilpatriek had moved around
the head of the swamp behind bim,
and the order ot the attack was ar
ranged as follows :
My division. Wright's brigade now
being in front, was to be closed op in a
column of regiments before daylight,
so as to enable Wheeler,' stretched
back the full length ot bis division in
columns of fours, to close up. I was to
follow up the line of march taken up
by Kilpatriek move around the bead
of the swamp, and enter his eamp from
the left. Wheeler was to turn to the
right from about the point where the
head of my column was located, and
move to the right ' through the open
pine woods and eome from the rear, as
. . . . , ... . . . .
nearly simultaneously wun mj aiiaca
as possible. Accordingly, when-' I
learned that Wheeler bad turned off to
the right I moved forward up the road;
Meanwhile I directed Col. Wright
to select a squadron, who commander
he could vouch for. and order bim to
report for instruction. My recollec
tion is that he selected Capt. Bostick,
of the Cobb Legion (and if I am in
error about this I trust that tome
survivor ot that splendid, gallant regi
ment will correct me.)
My instructions were that the lead
ing squadron should tush into the
camp, surround the house where Kil
natriek made his beadoaarters and re
main there, is possible, until we could
occupy the eamp, and make Kilpat
riek a orisoner. I further instructed
Col. Wright to follow op the leading
squadron by throwing a regiment at a
time into the eamp; that I would have
McLaw's brigade so posted as to go to
the rescue at the proper time.
Wright moved promptly, follow
ed by Law in a trot; just before the
dawn of day he charged pell mell ioto
the camp, and as I turned the head of
th awamD at the head of Law's bri
gade we Fere greeted with a scene ot
tha wildest confusion. A squad of
about 130 Confederates came rushing
frantically towards us, and at first we
supposed or feared that Wrignt had
been repulsed, and yet could , not un
derstand how that could be, as his rear
regiment bad not left as more than
two minutes. Our minds were soon
relieved on that score, as the Confed
erates turned out to be prisoners who
tnra awav from their guards whan
rood their escape. The poor f alio vi
reported they were- half starved 0a the
the march with -Kilpatriek, and nat
nrally rejoiced at their deliverance.
Oar men aroased the sleeping Federals
and captured 475.
At this point let me relate what Geo.
Kilpatriek said ot this event ia a eoa
versatoa with me after the war. I
told htm we had ridden ap to the eamp
firea the night before, without beiac
challenged by his pieket or even a
eamp gnard, and expressed surprise
that he had not taken his natural pre
caution; that he paid a very poor com
pliment to our vigilance and surprise,
which I thought was scarcely justified
by paat experience. Hie expuoetioa
was that CoL Spencer, who was a Her
wards with me la the Senate froea
Alabama, commanded the rear bri
gade of bis column, and that it was his
duty to post the picket and gnarde.
Spencer on the othar band, denied
this and fixed the responsibility 00
Kilpatriek. Of eoane I eoa Id not set
tie that controversy and left It where
I found it.
Geo. Kilpatriek farther said he
walked out aboat daylight that aaora
iog, as was his euatwea, to look after
his borae. He heard oar yell as we
broke ioto bis eamp, and said to bias
self, -My God, here Is a major ra

as one of hie men was escaping thai:
that be, Kilpatnek, mounted in dis

who accosted him left him and pursued
the man on the black horse, and thus
by ruse he saved bis bacon.
I have never ascertained who this
man was, bot my theory is that ia his
anxiety to take Kilpatriek prisoner be
was naturally misled and dropped the

order to do a joaroey roaad the world,
is becoming greater every year, ootes
a writer io London Tit-Bits, ladeed,
feats ot this sharacter have ot late be
come quite the fashion. No end of
journeys, both by men aod women,
have been chronicled, the travalera be
ing usually bound down to certain con
ditions as to time aad so on.
One of these eoterprisiog lodividoals
is a Teuton, ana is oow in xauaoo,
having latelv finished his walk round
the world. The cost ot the journey
was defrayed entirely by himself out
ot the proceeds of, lectures which he
gave en route, and of the sale ot bis
photographs. Altogether he earoed
and spent some $3,000 00 his walk.
. For a wsger of $10,000, a couple of
enthusiasts have undertaken to walk
ronnd the world in two years, bot a
San Francisco man, who ts doiog the
same journey for a sum ot $250,000. is
limited to a year within whieh to per
form his self -imposed task. A Russian
who has started expects to Uke six
years aod a half to complete the jour-nv.
An assistant chemist Is going round
ths world on foot clad ia newspapers,
aod is said to have earoed betweeo
New York and Boston more than 200
by exhibiting himself is this strange
guise.
One ot the latest ot theee pedeslriaa
feats was oodertakea by a young Bel
gian, wbo journeyed on foot from Ant
werp to Brossels, going backward the
whole time. ' He was obliged to wear
special shoes with a kiad of heel an
deroeath the toe, aod it was stated
that by tnis means be was enabled,
after soma oraetio. to progress as
rapidly as by the ordinary mode of
walking. "...
! A youog German wagered that be
would travel in a peeking ease from
Berlin to Paris aod back, ooly leaving
box for refresh man ts at Paris before
starting on the return journey. This
feat he aetaally accomplished, being
dispatched ooe morning from Berlin in
a properly ventilated ease, and daly
arrivincr in Paris, where be was tskeo
out, given refreshment and repacked
and sent back to Germany.
