Charlotte Obwrrer, - The Democratic speaking at thri court house last night was nt tended by n very en- hufmi8ti lot of Democrats. Claude Kitchen, .Esq., was introduced by Chairman J. D. McCall as the man who nought the seat now oscupied by the negro Geo. H. W hite. of the fecond district. Mr. Kitchen was greeted with cheers. He stated, in he outset, that Geo. H. White occupied the Beutfroni he second district, but that tie would have it niter the November election. ' , The question nt issue is whether .the white people shall control this State. No Republican is asked to chn nge his opinion. He can still cling to all the tenets of his aith, the principals of his party, but it is asked that the Republicans vote in ac cordance with their color and breeding as white men. . "The east knows what ne- groism means; yon people do not," said the speaker. He described the departure from the Democratic ranks in HaK ifnx county in 1892, 1894 and 1896 and then came negroi8m., What happened in Halifax conntj obtained in the other eastern counties. Mr. M'Kinley appointed 12 t negro postmasters in nis county, bnt Satan took two of these, said Mr. Kitchin. These appoint meats had been made in spite of the protests o' tne wnite pe(pie. annular appointments in other coun ties were instanced. He spoke of tre 29 negro magis trates in his county, and of how the white tax-pnyerwan at the mercy of the negro. This was "taxation without representation," and he and his oeople knew that this was opposed to every princi Dal of American linerty or government. But, with fold ed aims they waited for the time when the question could be settled , in peace. He re ferred to the election of two negroes to .the Legislature, and how crime began and in ereased 25 percent. The jeers, the taunts and insults of tne negroes, pro 4' ft m . a tected by negro policemen, in Wilmington, weie degrading and intolerable. In Halifax a like attitude was manifest ed on the part of the negroes. Mr. Kitchen gave the par ticulars of this disgraceful trial in Halifax county, in which a white man, upon no evidence, was humiliated by a charge of criminally as saulting a negro girl a case which, was summarily dis missed, The speaker described how an appeal was made to the white vote of Halifax county co stand together and how this appeal had been success ful, save for 61 votes. Let the white Republicans rernem ber always that when they vote against the amendment thatthev vote as tne negio rapists would vote a char acter of men he described by illustrations, which showed the horrible work of the black fiends. When the negrO as a polit ical factor is eliminated one never hears of an assault up on a white woman by a ne gro man. In South Caroli- na, lor instance, mere nag not been such a case lor. five for instance, there years. As to the statement made by Linn9y atid other Repub licans that the negro vote should make the east Demo era Uc the speaker asked that the condition of the east be remembered when it wns re membered that the white men cf the east hud determined to stand together and rule at no matter what cost. The white people of 'North Caroli na are going to stand by Senator Vance's declaration that "the negro shall not dominate my State," said Mr. Kitchin. Thenegroraunt go from politics. Henry IV. Grady's assertion as oppos ed to negro rule was put side by side with Ynnce's conten tionthese being worth the support and sanction of all white men. Go back in all history and you will find that the white man has' gone down before no race. JNo harm is meant to the negro. He is not blamed half so much as the white man who makes him a political associate. The Dem ocrats are stronger and the negro is weaker: he shall have his rights in all places. But a right to rule my coun ty and State is not one of his rights, and God helping me, he shall never have it," said the sneaker. (Cheers) " H'e mean no harm, but we ex pect to pat tAe negro in a po sition where he and his white man can do us no harm. There are two ways to settle this great question; one in neaee and according to the constitution and the other God forbid 1 The white peo pie of this State are not only opposed to the 40,000 white people putting negroes into office, but we are also oppos ed to the 12'J.UUU negroes putting bad white men into office. We are aiming at the bad white men who turn their backs on their race. But for the 80,000 negro votes that we are going to eliminate, Butler; Hal Ayer or none of their gang would ever have been put into office, Butler- isin and negroism will be eliminated together." The Republican party has been a deadly enemy to the Door white man. and the speaker illustrated by refer ence to the poor man's dis franchisement by that par tv and the passage of the "ivil rights bill. Senator Edmunds' opinion as to the constitutionality of the amendment was termed as an insult to the South, since in that Senator's Stat? of Vermont no Confederate soldier has been allowed to vote, or was allowed to vote np to 1893 if since. With derision the speaker referred to the Republican scare-cry of the injustice the amendment would do to the poor white man. The Wash ington Post and The Ashe ville Register, national and State Republican papers both declared,. in effect tha the ne&rro was better tnan a ooor white man. In numbers of eastern counties the Re publicans, to show thoir love C, THURSDAY. JULY. 12. 1900. ah flin , frws. It i f mun wi iuq p"JI nunc uirii k irked them out of offices, which were refilled by ne groes. At Wilmington 1 white policemen were ' dis charged for 14" negro police men. Wilmington brought to mind the remembrance of the negro editor Manley's in sult and he. described , the scene that ensued how the white men but ho white Republicans-had found re vengefor the malice ol the publication. The Republican party was characterized is the Fred Douglas party the party whose legislature adjourned in memory of the negro, who advocated marriages b e tween the whites and blacks, and refused to adjourn ' in honor of .Robert E. Lee. , It was this party that turned down . a Confederate soldier and appointed Abe Middle- ton, a kinky-headed negro as door keeper in the Legisla ture. In this connection Mr. Kitchin paid a beautiful tril ute to tie character of the Confederate soldier w h o does not, and neverdidhave, a friend in the Republican party. Coming to a consideration of the amendment, he stated that he felt it unnecessary to discuss the measure, as be knew .the position of his au dieuce. As to the poll tax clause in the amendment he said it would disqualify no old soldier, no infirm or crip pled people; it would disfran chise only those big, hulking men who sought to evade the payment of the tax. In conclusion Mr. Kitchin said that God had given the white man lor. his protection, as a last resort, . nis man hood. He could only hope, however, that the coming po litical struggle might be set tied in miTcy and peace and not by power and might. This was the flrst speech ever made by Mr. Kitchen in this county. He. made a iv buarkably favorable impres sion and was frequently in terrupted by . prolonged up plause. His reasoning was clear and logical and his speech was unusually strong and impressive. The only Democratic can vasserin the State against the amendment has been D M. Luther, Esq., of the Ashe- villebar. He thought that the amendment, as original ly submitted, might, if adopt ed. disfranchise some white men, and thus he conceived V it to be his duty to take the stuniD airainst it. This he i did, making a number o sweohes. The Legislature having, however, at its ad journed session. consolidated the fonrth and fifth sections removing all possible danger, Mr. Luther is out in an argu ment. in the Asheville Citizen in favor of the adoption o the amendment. His change cf position does him credit and bis argument i 8 one which can be read with pro it Charlotte Observer. For barns, injuriec.piles and flkin diseases use DeWitt's Witch Harel Salve.

The Republican platform adopted at Philadelphia last week opens with a prologue in praise of the power and beneficence of that party. It is asserted that the members now in contention can look back upon "an unsurpassed record of achievement;" that the people turned away from Democratic doctrines, dead business and paralyzed in dustries to invigorate them selves with Republican restor atives--a protective tariff and gold standard. The platform prologue then prods Democracjforassumingthat the free coinage of silver pos sessed remedial qualities, and concludes with pyrotechnic asseryations concerning the Republican party's triumph in legislative balls, on land, at sea, at home, abroad; with a final surplusage of flowers in the shape of un unlimited indorsement of the present administration. In brief, the platform i s composed o planks that may be synop- sized as follows: Adherence to the' gold standard. Condemnation of all con spiracies to create monopo lies. Determination to protect American labor against im migration and convictlabor. Liberal pension laws and a liberal administration o f them. Employment of natives in public service in Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and Philippin es. Disapproval of the efforts of Southern whites to keep control of the States-bj reg ulating the elective fianchier. Extension of rural free di- livery service. Favors additional legisla tion to reclaim arid lands. Home rule and early ad mission into Statehood for territories of New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma. The construction, owner ship, control and protection of an isthmian canal by the United States is urg?d. Recommends that Congress create a department of com merce and industries in charge of a secretary with portfolio. lusists on steady adher ence to the policy announced in the Munroe doctrine. Pledges the part v to con tinue conferring "the bless ings of liberty and civiliza tion upon all rescued people" in Cuba. Porto Rico and the Philippines. Declares that the promises of Cuban independence shal be redeemed to the letter some time in the future. Presents the hope that the misunderstanding existing between England and th Transvaal will soon be honor ably terminated.

That Settles It 1 All the signs point to Dera ocratic , victory.: The hens down east have been laying eggs with Aycock's initials on them, the palmists have read victory in the lines of his band, and now the most amous dreamers have dream ed out a victory for Aycock and the amendment. Mr. S. C. Jones, of Lattimore, Cleve and county, the professional political dreamer, has . bad another. dream, as is his cus . torn just before every elec tion. The Star says that for the past eight years he has never failed to dream a true prophecy, both as to the de 'eats and. the victories of the Democratic party. Two years ugo be saw in a vision the great white supremacy vie tory and related his dieam for Star readers, therefore it is with much pleasure that the Shelby paper announces another prophetic dream from Mr. Jones in which he foretells the success of the amendment and the election of Aycock by a handsome majority. The dream says the amendment will run a bead of the ticket. That settles it. The amend mtnt is eafe. Times-Demo crat. What the Amendmc ut Will Do. Prof. Alexander Mclver, Republican, says: "It will bring peace nnd harmony and good will to all classes of the people. 'It will nmintniu and per petuntegood go eminent. "It will promote good inor uIh. "It will dinfranchise no white man unless be wants to be'disfranehised. "It will disfranchise no col ored man any longer than he can learn to read and write and establish for him self a good character. "It is a lawful and proper construction of the Fifteenth Amendment, Laws U. S. I shall therefore yote for it and for Aycock for Governor," Ex-Govenor Hill wiys that he is not a candidate for Vice President. So did Roosevelt.
