DtarSir: At the conven tion of the republicans of the Second Judicial District in Rocky Mount, I was nomina ted for Judge of this district. The repuLlican State Con vention ratified that nomi nation. Although grateful for this expression of confi dence on the part of so large a number of my fellow citi zens, yet I. cannot accept the nomination. I notify you in order that your committee may take the necessary steps to till this vacancy on your state ticket. , ' ' t The tendencies of the re publican party aie such as to alarm every man who places the permanent welfare of his country above tempo rary party advantage. The National House of Repres entatives, abandoning all pretense to cnlm, wise and impartial deliberation, has repressed free speech, free in quiry and free, discussion; has appointed the Speaker und the ("Jerk a permanent returning board for the coun ting of voters who do not vote, and has enacted legisla tion involving hundreds of inillions of dollars without condescending to justify or even excuse its oppression, and without allowing inquiry to be made or discussion to be had concerning its justice and propriety. The methods that have prevailed in that body, during the past ten months belong rather to a packed convention of politi cal partisans held in a cor ner groggery than to the highest del i bera ti ve a ssem bly of a free and intelligent na tion. It is doubtful whether the legislature of any civiliz ed people on earth has tran sacted public business in the year 1890 with so little re gard for the rights of speech and discussion, or for the real intesests of the people, as the present Congress. It has abolished parliamentary rights that were observed during the passion and tur moil of civil war and the re construction period, and it has imposed taxes which not even the necessity of war required. " New States have- been ad mitted into the Union with a smaller population than one of pur Congressional districts bit the voter of their Sena tors in the United States Congress were thought nec essary to establish the vicious legislation and perpetuate the power of a selfish and in satiable oligarchy of million aire manufacturers. Sectionalism has .been re vived in its most odious shape. Every Southern in dustry has been , taxed that could be separated from the industries of the North. On the tie that binds Southern cotton the tax bad been doubled; the twine tha t binds Western wheat has been al most 'reed from taxation Southern Dem etatic Sena tors vote to relieve the wes tern laborer of unjust bur dens, while western Republi can Senators vote to increase the unjust burden upon South em labor. Such is their idea of statesmanship 1 When asked to explain the incon sistency of their votes they laugh in their sleeves, or justify their extortion by cry ing '"Rebel." Government is Woi.iHig n game of plunder and the methods of the men who control the republican majority are partly the meth ods of sneak thieves. A half clad negro in the Southern cotton fields is good plunder for the millionaire philantro phist who needs protection. Robin Hood was more hu mane. In their desire to op press and plunder the South ern people they are willing to keep in poverty and even to destroy the poor helpless ignorant negro. H'hat a parody and a satire for such men to advocate a Force bill for the benefit ot the negro ! There is in this Force bill some devilish design to in volve the country in disor der, possibly to force a. war of races, and by this wicked expedient to divert public attention from the game of plunder which they iire play ing with such boldness and recklessness. No sane man believes that the bill will add to the political power of the negro or will increase his op portunities for wealth, edu cation, moral culture orhap piness. The leaders of the republi can party seem to have abandoned the wise, liberal and progressive policy inau gurated by Garfield and hap pily carried forward by Ar ther and Cleveland. It re quired but little statesman ship to continue this policy and to give the entire coun try a period of material de velopment and of progress in education, refinement and culture such as the world has never seen before. The pres ent administration has de liberately chosen .to go back twenty years in our political life,- and it is endeavoring to reverse the painfully wrought results of the struggles of those twenty years results in the main wholesome and beneficent. To begin these struggles anew will retard the now rapid development of wealth, education and re finement in the South, will inflame race passion and prejudice, will re-open the healing wounds of war, and will bring only disaster upon the negro race. No good re sults of. any sort can possi bly come from this mad political scheme; but, if carried through, tit will contribute largely to the final overthrow of popular elections and pop ular government. I shall not follow such lead ersorsuch counsels. As a citizen of the Union, loving its Constitution and history; as a. Southern mat), believing in fairness and justice to all sections and races; as the friend of the negro, desiring his intellectual moral and financial improvement as the proper basis of social and political power; and, finally as selffiesjH'ctmg man, I shall ifi)t be a Republican candiJatefoi any office, but shall vote the entire Demo cratic tiekot. Congressional, State ami count v. The elec tion of that ticket will be the best for the people of North Carolina, both white and black. It will also be a wholesome rebuke to the men who are using the Nat ional dovernment for pur poses of plunder; whose pro fessions of love for free speech and a fair count are belied by their daily practices in the halls of Congress, and by their systematic purchase of votes in all-close elections; whose disregard of the true interests of the negro is shown by the passage of laws that will raise the price of everything the negro buy.!, and lower the price of every thing he sells, and who im agine that blatant philan throphyand braying patri otism will serve as a disguise for their wicked schemes.

That we denounce the unjust and unprecidented u surpation of power by the present Speaker of the House of Reprsentatives and the in iquitous, sectional and class legislation enacted by the present Republican Congress, whereby they have increased the burdens of the farming and laboring classes for the sole benefit of rich manufac turers and millionaire. i. That we denounce the present Republican Congress for its failure to pass the bill for the free and unlimited coinage of silver, which was demanded by every organiza tion of farmers and laborers throughout this Union. 4. That we denounce this Republican Congress for iis failure to keep its pledges to the people, especially those to pass the Rlair bill, and to repeal the .Internal Revenue law. 5. That we heartily en dorse the efforts of the farm er's alliance in the warfare they are now wagingagainst monopolies, trusts, combines and high taxes; all of which we believe to be the legiti mate offspring of a high pro tective tariff, 6. that weendorseand reaf firm the nrineinles inculcated by Thomas Jefferson, of "E- qual and exact justice to all and special privileges to nnnfl " und this should be the watch-word of every true Democrat.

Loucks, Esq , president of the Farmer's National Alli ance, of which the following is a copy: 2 he- time for action-prompt, united, decisive action on the part of the farmers of .the whole count! v. is absolutely and imperatively demanded. No argument could empha size this truth so deeply and indelibly as it has been- im pressed by the alarming and constmtly augmenting de pression of our great agricul tural interests. It is written on the lintels of almost every farmer's home in this broad land. Impelled by the force of its demand, farmers of lo calities, states and sections have combined in various forms of organization. Dif fering only in name and form, these various organizations are actuated by one common purpose, and are guided by one common principle the elevation and betterment of the agricultural interests of the count ry. Rut confronting them all is the stern truth that the greatest evil under which they. justly compuin, are national in their charac ter, and that they cannot be corrected by local, State or sectional remedies. National legislation which discrimi nates against or oppresses agriculture in New York, In diana or Kansan, affects e- qually that interest in Virgin ia, Georgia or Texas. Hence, to meet the demands of the situation the farmers of the United States must form one grand, compact national or ganization. They mustmake common cause against a common danger. Impelled by these considera" tions, and in conformity to the aims and principles of the great Order which I have the lion or to represent I beg to extend to you, and through you to the brotherhood of your Order.,a most cordial and fraternal invitation to meet with our Supreme Coun cil at its regular annual ses sion at Ocala, Fla.. on Tues day, the 2nd day December, 1890. Permit me to suggest that proper accredited dele gates representing your en tire order, or the separate States comporing it, vested with such powers as would giv them full authority to act in the premises, and meet ing in conference with repre sentatives si m ilarly em power ed of the other organizations would greatly facilitate the determination of the great and vital question whether any plan can be devised for securing fraternity and unity of notion between the farm- era of the country. The Na tional Farmer's Alliance and Industrial Union now embra ces 85 of the States of the Union, all of which will be rprirosented in our meeting. and I beg to assure you that the representatives ot your ordpr will be welcomed bv that body with most cordial considerations of fraternal regard and respect. A letter of like imnort was this day mailed to the chief officers of the Patrons of Husbandry. the Farmers National League the Patrons of Industry and the Fanner's Mutual RenefU Association. Will you kind' y indicate at your earliest convenience, whether this proposition meets your ap proval, and whether your order will be represented? nv information or service 1 may be able to render is free ly at yonr command. I lie democrats must carry every district possible; they cannot afford to loe one in Louisiana. The men who are fighting Mr. RIanchard or who oppose any democratic candidate for Congress in this State; the men who would cause dissension m the party ranks to-day or bring about u split or division, are allies of the republicans, co-operating with Reed's Congress to oppress and injure the South. Let them lie known lor what they really are enemies to white supremacy and civiliza tion. lours fraternally, L. L. Polk, Pres. N. F. A. and I. U. Tlihty TliotfsMid York Tickets. The Republican convention at Lenoir was looked upon as a consummate hoax, but in reality was one of the shar pest radical tricks exhibited in a long time, and Capt. Fau cette is the victim. It ap- pears fromtbeCaptain's own evidence that there was an understanding that the con vention would endorse him for Congress. That was the agreement. But the conven lion failed on that point. It came very near endoring him. It touched the hem of his garment, but it failed to touch the Captain himself. Every bod3r in theconvention was strong for an alliance candidate. They knew Fau cette was a candidate and that was to soft-soap him and urge him forward. To further pull the wool over his eyes the convention voted him a complimentary vote of six. Rut just in the nick of time, according to previous arrangment, Zfogle,or"some other good man" arose and explained how it would be bad policy to tie Faucett's hands with an endorsement, and how it would cripple his prospects of getting demo cratic votes. The convention saw the point at once, as pre viously arranged, and the en dorsement was withdrawn. But it had the desired effect upon Faueette. He was blind ed into the belief that the Radicals actually meant to endorse him. imt such. an i dea never entered a Radical. They are after an "efficient Allianceman", and there is none "efficient" except a Re publican. And that particu lar "efficient Allianceman" re ferred to is no one but the Hon, Tyre York, of the 'State of Wilkes." York is the real Republican candidate. That is who they will vote for sol idly at the polls, and the fact has just leaked out that there has been thirty thousand York tickets ordered to beat the polls on election day.
