For the Senate—Wm. R. Myers. For the House —L. C. Morton. We are only half liberal now. The liberals have showed up too soon. It it nobody’s business how you vote, but then we would like for you to vote for every republican. We would like to have that little work done in a day or two. If it is to be done at all, let’s baxe it. Liberals who can’t vote for and support a Republican can’t get onr vote. We prefer to vote that part blank. Be sure to register so you can vote for that great statesman, O. H. Dockery, for Congress. Then vote for all the judges, but in the county —vote as you please. Who make np the republican par ty in Mecklenburg county ? John Schenck and Prince Brown. They have been satisfied, hence all the negroes ehonld be. Wonder bow long John Scheack’s place will last after the election. If the leaders of the liberal party mean to tote Air, why do the can didates deny being in favor of ap pointing colored men ? Why not run a republican for register of deeds? But then the colored men will love to vote tor Jiln Sima. There is a colored man almost persuaded to be an independent candidate for the Legislature. It wlO all be fixed by the latter part of next weak. Just ao long as the colored men of this country allow party hacks to fill them with promises, just so long they will get nothing more. The colored man will never be respected as a man till bo learns to assert his manhood. But he is a traitor if he don't go as the bosses say. Are you freemen ? Where are the three colored mail agents to be appointed from Char lotte by the 16th of September? John Scbenck would have kicked out of traces two weeks ago had he not got his place. Nothing else has been done, and wo all have as much right to kick as Schenck. The liberals say they have se cured enough democrats to make up for dissatisfied white republicans. They may now learn there are in Mecklenburg county, some dissatis- I fied black republicans, and they are not controlled by Schenck, Gordon and Prince Brown. J. C. Callahan, the independent republican candidate for Clerk of Superior Court, was accidentally left out of our columns. He has not withdrawn, but is still a candi date before the people. MUTINY. There is an uprising on hoard our Bhip, and though the Messenger has been foremost in advocating the liberal movement, it is to-day among the' lagging. Because tho liberals have acted unwisely and Unjustly. They have started out with deceit and false promises, and any sane man knows if they refuse to do anything at such a time as this, they would kick a negro out of town in times of peace. The liberals have deceived ns, and they are responsible themselves if they are defeated in this county. Hav ing lost confidence in them, we don’t see where we have anything to gain or lose. MUTINY, TREASON, DEATH. The old liberal ship in Mecklen burg county floats without a cap tain. The voters are rising in their might declaring they will not sub mit to the government and dictates of bosses in whom they have uo confidence. The bosses declare these few colored men who dare as sert their manhood, are traitors to the party. Why should a colored man not be allowed to be his own judge as to whether he should fol low the leadership of traitors from the democratic party ? Then trai tors from the Democrats coming to us makes traitors of our own men. The foregoing aro terrible evidences of the early death of liberalism in Mecklenburg county. ’Tis sad if true. The question: which is the greater, the gains or losses seems not to have been considered. There is no longer a doubt that more re publicans will refuse to vote for the liberals on our county ticket than there are liberals in the county. The pet game of the liberals seems to he bluff. Now we think they will find it a block game and they will be the heaviest losers. A BARGAIN. It is said the Liberal ticket in Mecklenburg county was arranged upon a bargain between certain parties. In Cumberland they sent two or three colored men to Wash ington and gave them good places to get them out of the- way. Re member! if certain promises are not complied with very soon, there will be one or more colored candidates on tho ticket in Mecklenburg coun ty. You say we promised to sup port the Liberal ticket Yes, we did with the understanding that these things would be done and that the Liberal party would support us. Neither is being done, and as we have said before, Its no use to kick after the election. Some of our leaden are deserting us and we give the others but a few days more, for we have crossed the lino and kicked np dust till our heed is near ly bunted. We come beck and take our own course. William C. Smith edits the Messenger, he knows the sentiments of the Rcpub lican voters of this section add he is responsible for what appears in tho Messxnoer. OUR TICKET. Gentlemen of Meeklenburg coun ty, ten days from to day you are expected to go to tho polls every one of you, and vote. You are ex pected to register before eleotion day; and on that day cast your ballot for some one candidate or another for office. First, is our candidate for the State Senate, COL. WM. R. MYERS. He is a patriot and a statesman. No better man lives than Col. Myers. Every Republican in the county is expected to vote for him. Mr. L. C. Morton is our candidate for tho Lower House. We learn he is a Republican of good record, and of course deserves the united Republican support which we sin cerely hope he will get. ROBT. R. RAY, ESQ., our candidate for Sheriff, is well known throughout tho county, and though he does not think it neces sary to say just yet what he intends to do for the colored man more than Mr. Alexander, yet we hope our friends will all vote for him. We hope all will look upon the State tioket as a Republican ticket throughout. It stands as it was given us. Vote it straight. But so far as the county ticket is con cerned, we only ask that every man vote for each Republican on the ticket. Inasmuch as the men who gave us that ticket have proven false, we have reason to believe the men on the ticket are themselves false. UNDERSTAND US. As we are attacked on every side, probably it is necessary for us to de fine our position again. The Mes senger is sentimentally Republican, and supported the Liberal ticket mainly for three reasons: First, the Republican party to which we are subject ordered it. Secondly, there is no other party to support but the old Bourbon party. And thirdly, we hoped it would bring about tho desired result of dividing the white vote of the State which must he done before the col ored vote is divided, and before there ever will be political fairness and freedom for the colored man. Wo take the course we mapped out before the conventions were held ; we said we would do as the party directed. We only aocept the less of two evils. We have stood by the Liberals like a man, we think. They pat us on the shoulder and smile upon us, and one-half of the candidates don’t even take the Messenger. Gentlemen, please remember we are making great sacrifices. We have hashed our conscience. We have got to grease some of you well before we swallow you, and although it is only about ten days till the election, you must do better, or we can’t stand this treatment that long. We are subject to speaking out in church. We say again there are some promi ses to be filled. No party can, nev er will and never should again mar shal the Negro vote as the old Re publican party has done. So please come np to your promises or wfe shall not he rot-poitsiblo for the con sequences. THE ILEaTION--COA’JTION AND NE GROES. Ten days from this a general elec tion takes place In nearly all the States of the Union for Congress men, and in many States for State officers and county officers. In some of the States efforts aie made to break the old party ties, and in many counties of North Carolina the Democratic party finds instead of tbesamo old Republicans to fight, members of its own party in the name of Liberal, independent or something of the kind. We call it Coalition generally speaking of it. The Negro has idolized the Re, publican party and though that party while their best friend, as a party has allowed them to suffer and die, yet they are willing to suf fer still and even die for the Repub lican parly. The Liberal-Democratic-Ropubli can-Coalition party is different. It is true it has in it some of the saino leaded* and some of the worst Dem ocrats in the State, and makes some very fine promises. But tho Negro has done the voting for the Repub lican party and lived on promises for fifteen years. They are tired of it. They will not do the same for the Liberals nor any other party. Had they come to us without prom ises, nothing would have been ex pected. But if promises were to get our votes, this Liberal ticket shall not have our votes till these promises are filled. Leading col ored men of this county will hold a meeting tho last of next week and unless they are satisfied, arrange ments will be made to defeat every Liberal Democrat on the county ticket. Big apples, fine in flsvoi and juicy to a degree, are now shown in the stores’ and they all come from beyond the Blue Ridge. North Carolina bears off the palm for apples, as well as other things. gnuicUetr's CSttide.
