"Instead ol regarding the
recent assault upon constitu
tional government, the over
throw of American principles,
as a matter of destiny, vre
may rather consider it aathe
last 'plague, :the slaying of
the first-born, which mill end
the bondage of the Ameri
can people and bring deliver
ance from the Pharaohs who
are enthroning Mammon
and debasing mankind."
This is William J. Bryan's
summing up of the situation
in Arnericnu politics. It is
the conclusion of an nrticle
entitled "The Issue in the
Presideh tin Ca m pa ign."
In the June number of "the
North American Review the
candidate for the democratic
nomination for President out
lines his plan of campaign,
which lie indicutes Will be
made on the issues of bimet
nlism, anti-trusts and anti
imperialism, t bis being the
order in which he considers
the question. He says
"The issue presented in the
campaign of 1900 is the is
sue between plutocracy and
democracy. All the questions
under discussion will, in their
last analysis, disclose the
conflict between the dollar
and the man a', conflict as
old as the human race, and
one which will continue as
long as the human race en
dures.'' That the Nobraskan has
not wavered in his allegiance
to the cause of silver is. un
mistakably shown in his re
peated classing of the money
question at the head of the
list, says be:
'If a man opposes the gold
standard, trusts nnd imper
ialismall three thechances
are 100 to 1 that he is in fa
vor of arbitration, the in
come tax and tire election of
United States senators by a
direct vote of the people and
is opposed to government by
injunction and the black list.
"If a man favors the gold
standard, the trusts and im
perialism-all t hree-thechanc-
es are equally great that he
regards the demand for arbi
tration as an impertinence,
favors government by in
junction nnd the black list,
considers the income tax as
a "discouragement to thrift"
and will oppose the election of
senators by the people as
soon as he learns it will les
sen the influence of corpora
tion in the senate.
"If the Republican plat
form was honest in 1890. bi
uietalism was desirable' at
that time, because 13,500,
000 voters supported candi
dates pledged to bimetalism.
differing only as to the means
of secuting it. It is needless
to discuss the ratio, since
there is no division of senti
ment among those who are
actually trying to secure bi
metallism! There is a posi
tive, earnest and active force
behind any other ratio of
1(5 to 1; there is. no positive,
earnest, or active force be
hind any other ratio."
This is the way Mr. Bryan
views the trust question :
"Instead of shutting a mo
nopoly out of one state and
leaving it forty-four states to
do business fu weshouldshut
it up in t lie state of its origin
and, take, the other forty -bur
away from-it. This can be
done by an. act of Congress
making it necessary for a cor
poration organized in . aiiy
state to take out license
from the federal government
before doing business outside
of the state, the license not
to interfere, however, with
regulations imposed by other
states." '
"On the question of expan
sion Mr Bryan declares:
"If the Filippino is tdbeun
der our domination he must
be either citizen or subject. If
he is to be a citizen it must
be with a view to participat
ing ultimately in ourgovern
merit and in the ranking of
our la ws. If the Filippino is
to be a subject our fcrm of
government must be entirely
changed. A republic can
have no subjects.
Amendment Constitutional.
One hundred and seventy
members of the North Caro
lina bar, after having exam
ined and considered the pro
visions of the proposed a
mendment to the constitu
tioti submitted by the Legis
lature of 1899 to the people
for ratification, give itasohr
opinion that the eaid amend
ment is not in conflict either
with the State or Federal
Constitu tion.,
We further give it as our
opinion that the 4th and 5th
sections of said amendment
are so connected in subject
matter, each so clearly arid
dependent and conditioned
upon each other that both
must stand or fall together,
and'that it is too clear to ad
mit ot a doubt that the 4th
section cannot' stand if the
5th section should be declar
ed unconstitutional.
It is clear this amendment,
if ratified, will not disfran
chise, either now or hereafter,
any person who was himself
entitled to vote at any time
prior to 1870, either in this
State or any State in .the
United States in which he
the,! resided, provided h e
registers once before 1908
and does not thereafter be
come disqualified by crime.

Holton hns engaged a distin
guished assistant in thecatn
paign against white suprem
acy in the person of Abe R.
Middletpn, colored, one of
the most beloyed and influ
ential Republicans in North
Carolina. He arrived Sat
urday evening and entered
on his duties at Republican
hendquarters this morning.
Abe wields a power of in
fluence in the party of which
lie is one of the leaders, and
down in the third congres
sional district, where he re
sides, he is looked upon as a
sort of demigod. So com
plete is his domination of
the Republican party in that
section that it has been as
serted that he carried the
district in hi vest pocket.
Often, in times of dire dis
tress, white' skinned Republi
cans have turned to theebbn
hued demigod in the third
district, nnd Abe has never
failed to stretch forth the
hand of brotherhood and
render such assistance as
was in his power. Of course
he was rewarded for his self
sacrifice and party fealty. In
addition to occupying a high
sent in the councils of the
juirty, he has been given of
fices of remuneration. When
the fusion element captured
the legislature of 1895 he
was made assistant door
keeper of the house of repre
sentutives, and iu a right
lordl manner-did he guard
the way of ingress and egress
to and from the lower house
of the general assemoly. It
is a matter of history how,
on one occasion when the fu
sionists were exceedingly anx
ious to rush some legislation
through, Abe nttempted to
arrest two Democratic mem
bers of the body to prevent
a quorum being broken. He
would have laid violent hands
on the Democrats and forred
them to remain in the hall
of the house. When thesnme
crowd went back to Raleigh
in 1897 to legislate Abe serv
ices were remembered and he
was again made assistant
doorkeeper of the house of
representatives, i
In addition to these hon
ors, Abe was for a while a
member of the Republican
state executive committee at
large, being displayed only
at the lute state convention
of that party. It was prob
ably to provide for a more
general distribution of hon
o-s that he was left off the
state committee and given
an important position with
Chairman Holton at head
quarters.
It is not stated what part
of the campaign work Abe
will direct, though it is prob
able that to him will be in
trusted the work of writing
and sending out literature to
prove that there has never
been neyro domination in
North Caiolina, and that
there is now no danger -of
such a condition.

Recently the Nes arid Qb-
server has had the pleasure
of announcing the acquisi
tion of many leading Repub
licans and Populists to the
ranks of the advocates of
White Supremacy, but to
none has it more gladly ex
tended the right hand of fel
lowship thatl it now does to
Mr. Jno. F. Newsom, the
present clerk o f Hertford
county Superior Court. Mr.
Newsom W a 8 in Raleigh in
1897 as a Fusion member of
the Senute, and was one of
the etrougest and most in
fiuential Populist members
of that body. Two years
ago he was elected clerk , of
Hertford county by Fusion
votes.
Now he announces that he
will affiliate with the Demo
cratic party in the approach
ing campaign. For this
change, Mr. Newsom gives
good reasons such reasons
as must appeal strongly to
every honest Populist or Re
publican in the State. He
writes as follows:
Editor News and Observer:
I take this method of an
nouncing my intention to af
filiate with the Democratic
party in the approaching
campaign. I do so, because
the principles advocated by
the Populist and Democratic
parties are virtually the
same, and the more speedy
way of accomplishing the
aim's and purposes of each
party is to recognize their
oneness bury ail differences,
and unite their forces. I do
o for the further reason that
so long ns radieal questions
overshadow all others, polit
ical issues of lmportancecan
not be pleasant!, nnd satis
factorily determined.
Bdieying that the adop
tion of the constitutional
amendment will eliminate the
race question and create a
better feeling between, the
races encourage the invest
ment of capital and promote
peace ami prosperity in our
beloved State, I shall vote
for it, also for all the nomi
nees of the Democratic party
With the light before me this
seems the proper course for
all thinking and patriotic
citizens who heretofore affil
iated with the Populist par
ty to pursue, and in so doing
I see no cause for regret or
need for apology, as ourprirr
ciples are the same. I
Respectfully,
JNO. F. NEWSOM.
Winston, N. C, Junel,1900.
To Mr. Newsom and such
as he the Democratic party
extends a cordial welcome.
Let us have done with cant
and trickery. The issue is
clearly drawn. It is the race
issue. It is White Supremacy
or Negro Rule. What the
country wants is 8 decision
of this question once and for
all.
How can any white roan
hesitate in making a choice?
If Mr. Newsom's in making
a choice? If Mr. Newsom'H
example is not followed by
many an honest Populist we
shall be much deceived. .
