In the News and Observer
tf recent date there w an ar
ticle written by "A Populist
and TVbite Man," i reply to
the tirade of Mnrion Butler
on the democratic party be
fore the Populist State Exwv
utie Committee. Here it the
letter in fullas directed to Mr.
Butler:
Hon. jd&rioB Butler; , .
Sir; I was not present at
the meeting of tbe PopuliHt
State Executive Committee
in Raleigh, but I h,av read
an account of, what, tpk
place at the meeting, and
yourspeech particular! v.itb
surprise, chagrin and dis
may. I went; into the PppuliBt
party from principle, believ
ing that there whs a distinct
work for that paitj to do in
the State and Nation. I have
remained in the purty for the
Ha me reason tbongb con
Hcious that it has often made
serious blunders and that) it
has laid itself open to severe
but justifiable criticism. I
was content to believe that'
its faults were such as with
growing age and strength
would he overcome, faults
grounded in circumstance
rather than in deliberate in
deliberate intention.' With
this reflection I have comfor
ted mvself in the past, have
I stuck to the party oiganiza
tion and have conscientious
ly striven to hold it. to the
aims and ends conceived and
embodied in its declaration
of principles, believing that
whatever issue of grave im
port micbt arise the Popu
list partyjwould be found fa
voring the right.
Now, sir, the people of N.
C. are confronted br the
most serious crisis in their
history, since tbe time when
the Stute'sjntelligence and
worth scourged ignorance
vice and debauchery from its
high places, a quarter of a
centnr.v ago. It is proposed
to right a wrong done the
state through force, fraud
and fanaticism, at a time
when her worthy citizenship
was impotent and when her
protest was considered good
cause for fresh indignities
and more high-handed ontra
ges by the aliens and ' rene
gades who held a bayonet to
her throat while they despoi
ed her. For thirty years tbe
State has worn the fetters riv
eted upon her limbs in her
hour of weakness and has
done it patiently, hoping in
the end that they would drop
away of their own weight Jor
wonld be struck of! when the
animosities engendered . o
war and blood had passed a
way. and when a new genera
tion in tbe union should see
conditions in a prospective
not destroyed by passion and
hate. Tbe hope has been
vain, and the State has now
taken up for herself the work
of removing the incubus tha
has delayed her progress and
menaced her peace and ; safe
ty. In this undertaking she
has a right to expect that ev
erysonwho was nursed, a
her breast will stand shoo
der to shoulder . in her d
fense, ? , '. "
Under such cond itions what
do I find is the attitude of
the Populist organization (1
do not say tparty) of ' which
you, Mr. Butler, are ; the ac
knowledged leader? 1 find
that at your instance that or
ganizntion has adopted
a resolution placing it in 'rre
concilablt antagonism to
those who would right this
wrong of thirty years stand
nig. in Tour speecn to me
ommittee you tell them that
ou will "whip . this gang
rom tne stater,', it is tne
men whose forebears have
made her great in peace and
terribU in war from the day
it was carved from the wilder
ness and naimen trom tne
sayagerT. Did it occur to
you when you were uttering
this jaunty threat that these

ped' in nlltheir history? They
are mortal and may, be kill
ed; thev canno Jbe cowed.
fheir number is limited and
hev raa.v be dverpowered:
the.r can not be'whipfied.
And who, sir, compose your
cohorts that are to go gaily
orth to whip the men and
he sons of the men who mar
ched up the redoubts of Get
tysburg? Not the rank and
file of the populist party
rber are white men and will
stand with their brethren for
a white man ts lights and a
white man's St;ate, Thev are
honorable men and will stand
with the men who made up
99 per cent. o the State's in
elligence. They are free men
and therefore, sir, are not to
be made the chattele of a pet
ty cabal that bargain to sell
he State to infamy to get of
fices for themselves; toenrich
tnemselves with the price of
her prostitution, They are
chivalrous men and, there
fore, will fight with those who
have always protected the
virtue of our women. Your
army is made up of ;i 20,000
negroes officered by the few
white men who have lived by
trading on their votes and
who are naturally enraged
that any one should be abou
to end that traffic. Negroes
and renegadehites, Mr. Bu
ler, may do what .British ve
erans failed to do and what
the batalions of Grant never
did but I doubt it.
Tou are at liberty, - sir, to
sell yourself if you can find a
purchaser. There are some
who believe your search in
that particular has been re
warded; it is no wild infer
ence from your conduct. You
can not sell the men who com
pose the Populist party. You
may attempt to betray them
they have come to ex pec
that at your hands. You can
not lead them within the
lines of Your negro and rene-
gada army. What price, Mr
Butler, has been offered you?
The Senatorship again doubt
less when you have "whip
ped" decent white men "out o
the State." You will not ge
it until you accomplish tha
undertaking, and none then
would be more eminently fit
ted for tbe position. Negroes
and .renegade whites would
perhaps find tou to their
king. In the eyes of all oth-
ere con temp table. Who sha
blame you, therefore, for eas
ting in your lot with those
who alone do not shrink
from your leadership. "A
Populist and White Man.
