C, Th Tarboro Southerner says that 'for the first time since the right of suffrage was conferred npoa the Re publican party, the executive com mittee of that concern met without attracting attention and vyithgut rioise.?' Information of a like character pomes from other places. The Fu sion managers have sent the word down the line that this year the ne gro must stay in the background, must not be in evidence at conven tions, must "play possum" and pre tend he takes no interest in politics. That is the program and it seems that the (Jgecombe negroes are .obeying orders. The white tolks fvho are wise will not be fooled when negro politicians say their race cares nothing about the Amendment and s taking no interest in politics. In twenty-four hours 119,000 of the 120,000 will be organized and ni arched to the polls to vote against jvhito supremacy. Fitosi observation our experience n running a Jocal Democratic news paper j peculiar, in that we find it different from any of our exchanges. Pick up any of our exchanges print ed prior to the holding of the pri maries, and you will find them full pf cards from the different aspirants for nomination. These cards are paid for, of course, and not only show the public that the subscriber js in earnest in soliciting the support pf his friends, but shows that he ap preciates the influence the paper piay possibly bring to bear to, secure his election after his nomination. Not only thjs, but there is no )ocal paper that comes to our office but what has had all of the party pieetings, conventions or primaries, palled through its columns, besides ptlier' party work that tends to en pourage the editor. We have never even beeiraskcd to publish a call, a card, a convention pr a primary (it all being done by posters), nor haye we beeu given one penny's worth of work of any de scription, since we started the paper up and we did, it at the solicitation pf the party. Our influence qf course may not justify those in authority to give us jhe work other papers get, but we are beginning to tnink ye are a pretty good Democrat, for we start-, ed the paper up, ur,aidcd, to run it through the campaign, a,nd we in tend to do it, although we have beeu running it jt a dpttd expense ever bjnee it started While we have not received a pent's worth pf work of any descrip tion from the flayty, wp appreciate what our friends are dpjng for us in the way of subscriptions and busi ness advertisements, and we shall pontinue fot do our be6t to merit it all BALEian, N. C, March 19, 1900. A Republican of prominence froui the pastern part of the Stale said to-day that he violently opposed his party's haying any organization iu the JSast lor the August election, and assigned as a reason that to organize would only make the whites more determined to carry the election. ThU-whS a delicate way of expressing his belief tbat the Democrats would certainly win. The' fact is that the Republicans 30 far have no plans and uo candidate. It is always their custom to select their men beforo hand, make up a slate in fact, but this year they are at sea, and offices appear to go begging. They know Democratic nominations are equivalent to elections. Not a Republican can be fouud who has any idea who will be his party's nominee for Governor. Out of dozens asked, not one has answered with any degree of posi tiveness. S une say in a vague way, Rich mond Pearson, while others say he doesn't yvant the nomination, but does want to go to Congress from the Ninth District. Compleie as was Republican Chairman Hoi ton's downfall and collapse two years arro, Republicans are saying he will be re eleCjad Chairman. Speakings are in progress in many conn ties and wildly scattered. The amendmeu is the sole topic. The plan to make all else subordinate to it is being carried out by the Democrats. The Republicans are put ting some speakers in the field, bat they do most of their work by bush-whacking taking single voters or very small groups It will be a costly campaign for them, bu of course their National Committee will help them, as it did in 1806, when it gav $ bU.OUO lor North Carolina. In a Eew cases Populists are speaking, but a very few Senator Butler is practically the only Pop nlist to make any sigu, barring the uin members of the State Committee who met here in January and fulminated egaiust the amendment. A Populist, who in 1896 was of Stat prominence, $&ys bgnator liutler is dealing with the Republicans as if he could com mand, or oommauded, G0.C00 Populists whereas ho does, not conlrol 10.00Q. and that the Populists who wjll vote agains the amendment would do so anyway, But ler pr no Butler. Some of the Popnlists, who in 1896 and IS98 were prominent iu politics, will thi year retire. State Auditor Ayer, ex-C'hair- inan, is one. The Popnlists who are trying to drive their people Against lhe amend ment have discovered that they canuot carry out their plans. Enough, hints haye been dropped to show them what ifcs Con vention will do Jhaf i, leayo the amend ment to the individual view of the Popu lists. If one asks people from the country iu Central and Eastern North Carolina the question, "What do you hear the white Republicans saying on the question of the amendment ? " the reply isy " 1'bey are di vided ; some for and some against it." A politician would declare they Ffirs all against it The attitnda cf the nego on this ques tion js interesting. It is passive... Jle sens what is sure to happeu. Jim Young" says the negroes care nothing about registering cr voting, feci little or no interest in the election, nd want the whita people to settle the franchise matter, the negroes merely wishing to be let alone. The white Republicans want the negroes to keep out of conventions, keep in the background in fact, but to register. Young, speaking for the negroen, says there will be few, if any, ;n ine conventions. ine question is whether this is of their own motion, or whether it jg not a following of the wishes of the white Republicans, A "BLACK RAIN" THURSDAY.
