Fee a long lime the opponents of tbe Democratic party in Kortb Carolina •m.d* tlictr chief campaign Issues against the law which pat the oouety govern meet s of tbe 93 counties la tbe State In tbe hand* of magistrate* elec ted by tbe Legislature nod not by tbe people. They denounced inch county government se oontrary to tbe prtncl plea of boat* rule aad age Inst the twain* of oar govermaaet. Tbe Democrats replied to this esm palgn argument by eaylng that liter were not wedded to any particular form of county government, but were determined et any aeeriOoa to continue some system that would protact tbe eonntlee of tbe east from homllatloo and deetractioa Incident to tbe negro rule that prevailed until the new oon •tltutloo wae adopted In 1805. There wan Democrat* who desired to change the system, continuing tbe tieo Uon of magistrates by tbe Legislature for Urn caetern oo untie* and sobsttta ting their elect Ion by tbe people in the oeetial and western oo on ties. They were deterred from this course by Use opinion of learned lawytre thst the system mast he uniform throughout tbe Htate, and that a system of appoint ment as to Edgeoomln county and of election in Bowen county would not be ennatiiatlonal. Tbe Democratic party has bad no variableness or division In its deter mlnaUon to protect the white people of every county lu tbe Stale from negro domination, and it chose to run the risk of losing rotes rather then to, abandon the eastern counties to their1 fate. II may be that the party suffered loss la the wart end oentre by its de votion to while government, some of the Veters la tbe western counties be ing an willing to yield their right to elect their ms gist rates sod comoie ahriaera In order to save the negro counties. Jk recent decision or me Supreme Court or the State, In the case of Hor de v*. Wright, 121 N. C. Deporta, page 17*. make* it clear that It Is within the power of the Legislature to bare one form of government for Halifax county and another fonu of rovun L-usnt for Baooorobo county. The un animous opinion or tbe court it written by Chief jQitloe Falrcloth, who shows that by section 14, amending article 7, by the constitutional convention of 1873, there “was placed at the will and discretion of the Aaaembly, the politi cal branch of the State government, the elect‘oo of county officers, tbe duty of count] commissioners, the division of counties Into districts and town ships, the assortment of taxable pro perty, tbe drawing at money from lbs county or township treasury, the so try of offioers upon duty, tho appointment of Jostle** or tha peace, and all char ters, ordinance*, and provislom rela ting to municipal corporations. Tbeae important subjects war* Oxsd and dis tinctly settled in constitution before tbe adoption of said amendment. sad tbe present controversy t* one of the practical results of such change In the uonsUtutlua. With tho motives end srisdom of tbe adoption of said section 14, articlo 7. this court baa nothing to do.” Tbe question before the oourt was a* to tbe validity of the legislation enact ed In 1806, by which the Governor wue given tbe power to appoint one alder man In each ward in WUmiottou. It was held by tbe court that “there is no limitation on tbe power in said sec tion 14, and sso have found none else where m the constitution.” The pow er of appointing one alderman In each ward in Wilmington eras given the Governor In order to deny to the in competent volet* tbe right to role tbe city of Wilmington—tbe very reason aa to tha counties which caused tbe Democrats to e*ect magistrates by the Legislators. Chief Hustles Falrcloth, taking up tbe borne rule qoestlos In volved In aueb appointment of aider men, my* ; “It la urged, however that the exer cise of tbe power now ela'med under tho sot would infringe upo i general principles or law. and would deprive the two pie, In this particular respect, of the power of local self-government.

This decision of tbe Bapremo Court does two things that need to bo ompha sized. 1. The Democrats, wheo they re- j turn to power, can legally ore tact. the ; negro counties without imposing the ! system necessary for such protectioc upon other counties whieb do not de sire tbe system devised to save IIto eastern counties from rain. If wise, there cuu be a separate system (or etch of the 00 counties. 3. The Republican advocacy of home rule has bean shown lo be noth iog bat e campaign cry, for tbs Re publicans have refused to give the people the right to vote fur their offi cers In the twu chief olties of eastern North OiroIIns. and bm put negro school committeemen upon white coin bullae without giving them a ohauca to say a word aboat it. la other ways they have dented the right of local •sir-government about which they prated so much wheo out ot power. And yet. lo many Instances, upon one dlabourist plea , r another, the power of ruling has been taken from the poo pie and.put la the bands ot oue man. for wbo has used it aslOsh eude. When the Democrats dsnled to incompetent negroes tbe right to loot eastern eoun tles and cities, thsy frankly declared tbut it was done to protect property and personal rights, aod they gave the control into tbe bands of tbs capable white man of tbe counties and cillea. Tbe Republicans confer all tbe power on one man, who uses it to put incom petent or bote men in office. That difference ought to be explained un every stump lu North Carolina. litU-IBV TOM THl SAIT AMD WRIT Bluoe tbe fustonials sat the example of having tbe Oovernor to appoint alderman for tbe eitieeof Newbero end Wilmington, ami ot giving the small negro ward in Greenville two alderman wbiie tbe larger wards are allowed to rivet only one alderman, tbe Democrats will be at t to avail themselves of tbe principle laid down In the case of Har ris VS.

Tbe white people of tbe west should now rally lo the support of the Demo cratic party and have these changes in county government made.

Ths farmer who has tail the Demo emtio party and joined tbe Populist because bo believed that through tha latter he would be materially benefited, and also that certain political abuses which ba considered to existence under Democratic rnte would be abolished, this Populist farmer should now tako a careful and conscientious view of bis position and see huw and where he stands to-dav. Wbv the Topulist farmer should es pecially eonsldsr hit political standing Just now 1s due to tbe fact that an Im portant Slats election Is to be held In November, aud that the farmer ought to intelligently consider all the points bearing upon hla condition, material and political, *od sea wbelber his ohange from Democrat to Topullst, has met hla hopaa and expectations, or whether tbe change has been to hla disadvantage. leaving out the question of o (free hold log, for tbe farmer hoe not changed hla political party for the sake of get ting an offioe, tbs Hint point is, how bu tha farmer been materially bene flted ? The Republican-Popnllat party promised the farmer that hla taxes would be lighter, yet the published re ports of the board of equalisation show that tbla fusion party, which preached Democratic extravagance, has baao unable to oarry on tbs Stats govern ment without raising more taxes, and tha only class which baa been taxed to pay tbla extra amount is the farmer. Therefore, the farmer can aee Hist materially fueion government lias mode hla living bigbar, by extra taxa tion. Tbla extra lax mlsrd at the farmer’s expense ought to show tbe Populist farmer that financial reform has not com# through fusion In Stale affair*. On the lame of silver, the ropullat farmer will aee that hla new party leaders, while preaching silver, and a coinage of 10 to 1, have ever sought to co-operate with the Republicans, who bare contended for the gold standsrd. In tbe matter of county government the Pope I let farmer of eeatem Nonh Carolina flodi himself subject to the negro.

Soutli Carolina nod other Soalhem States, where the merer* are In large l umbers, have passed special laws which make negro domluatlou Iu those States practically Impossible. Hut North Caroline, under Republican rule, nut only does nut seek lo provide against negro domination, but actually invites it. Laws passed by Democratic Legislature* for the protection of the white people iu certain localities have been repealed by the Republican party, and the policy of taming ovor these communities to Uie negroes has lieco proclaimed to the world as the polloy of the Republican party of North Caro lina. Hrnca we see In New Hanover county forty negro magistrates and uu merout other negro officers. Iu Craven county w* dod tweaty-eix negro mag istrates and a boat of other negro olU clals. All through the Kut we find thia policy adopted, aud ** a result many of the loeal office a held by negroes.
