This will make it necessary
for the poll-holders to be ap

It declares that the North

the North is already several

The Herald'8confos8ion was

"Kecent outoreaKH, grow

And when the Herald had
read this it said:
"Say what you please, pile

They are all offensive and ob

In fact a negro postmaster is

The following appeared in
a recent issue of the if ashing
on Post in the shape of a
special news telegram to that
paper from Charlotte: .
"J, H Mullen, chairman of
he republican executive com
mlttee of this county opened
headquarter here toda.y He
expects .to do some effective
campaign work. This is the
first time in years that the
epuoiicnns nave bad any
hop8 of carrying the coun
ty."
Following close, upon this
is a published interview with
Senator Pritchnrd in which
he is quoted as saying in , re
gard to the political situa
tion in North Carolina:
"I have not the slightest
doubt that we shall poll a
majority for the republican
ticket, and unless the demo
cratic managers want to diw
grace their State by count
ng us out we shall get the
electorial votes. 1 hope to en
list the aid of so many piom
inent business men, old-time
democrats and solid citizens,
that the counting-out process
cannot he worked upon us
Bivcossfullj."
Of fourse it is out of the
question for the ttepublicaus
to carry North Carolina, but
it behooves the democrats of
the State to roll up such a
great and glorious mnjoritj'
in the National election that
any doubt as to their loyalty
and as to their power will be
very definitely settled.
And to achieve this result
the democrats of the State
should go to work at once
with earnestness and with
enthusiasm
Bryan and Stevenson dem
ocratic clubs should be or
ganized in eveiy city ward, in
ever,F town and in every
country district in the State,
This is a campaign in which
the issues involved touch the
individual citizen in a man
ner unprecedented in the bis
tory of American politics.
It 18 a campaign which con
cerns the welfare of every vo
ter and appeals to the pa
triotism of every citizen.
It is a campaign in which a
duty is imposed upon the in
dividual, and the fight must
not be left to the leaders
alone.
The News believes that the
democrats ot North Carolina
will respond nobly to thecal
and that they will not fail to
so measure up to the respon
sibility now upon them, that
when the victory is won for
the people against the trusts
and against militaryism, and
for the Republic against im
perialism, the Old North
State will have had a glor
ious share in bringing
about.

News and Observer.
According to Senator Prltch
ard "an amazing revolution"
is going on in North Caroli
na, and business men are rush
ing into the Republican par
ty. "I have in my pocket," he
says, 'Mettgrg trom a hun
dred or more democratic bus
iness men in all sections of
our State, asking for a con
erence with me in the near
uture. Thej want to co-op
erate with me as to the best
means for getting out a full
vote for McKioley. Thej
not only want that vote poll
ed, but want it counted."
There are two points in
this utterance that will strike
the reader-:
1. More than a hundred
business men want a confer
ence with Senator Pntchard
because they favor the elec
tion of McKinley. The Sen
ator sayB "nearly all of them
are Democrats." If Senator
Pritebard will print their
names he will disclose the
fact that every one of them
voted for McKinley in 1896
or gave moral support to
McKinley. They are, there
fore Republicans. For every
name of a Democrat so-call
ed who will vote for McKin
ley this year, two can be
found who voted for McKin
ley in 1896 who will vote for
Brjan this year, i hey are
Democrats who have come
back home.
2. These so-railed demo
crats want to "co-operate"
with Senator rritchard, "as
to the best means of getting
out a full vote for McKinley.'
And the Senator adds in the
theatrical air asHumed by
Holton in July : "They not
only want that vote polled,
but they want it counted."
Now, what does that mean?
That Pritchard and these so-
called democrats "business
men" want tho negroes who
were not permitted to vote
in August to vote in Novem
ber so that M?Kiuley may
get "A FULL VOTE." Do
you see? The negroes who
were not permitted to vote
in August were denied thnt
right for good and sufficient
reasons. The same reasons
that made them Ineligible
then will make them ineligi
ble in November. The negro
who has come oi age since
August or has ortherwise be
come qualified since then wil
be permitted to vote, bn
Pritchard and his other ilic-
Kinleyites may "co-operate'
all they please to get all the
negro boys, negro convicts
and negro imports to vote
but it will not be permitted
The people of this Statehave
had enough of illegal negn
voting "lull ' and running
over when Mr. Pritchard's
paity was in power in 1896-
and they will have no more
of it. Until the amendment
goes into effect the white peo
pie who stood together in
August, will stand together
in November except a few re
public ns who yoted for the
ameii.lment. They will vote
with their party. Noamount
of "conferences" or "ro-oper
ation' will avail to carry
this State tor Mi-Kinky. The
white voters who carried it
in August will rarry it in No
yu!eiand they wij.l s.hpw
o honest Republicans and
Populists, who voted against
he amendment from preju
dice, that Bryan's election Is
the hope of the Republic.
Fortune la the Baeat
A Shelby, N. C, special ot
the 18th to the News and Ob
server says: "Quite a little
breeze was created to-day in
political circles here when ex
State Senator and ex-United
States Clerk ol the District
Court, J. B. Fortune, who has
been in this county- for the
past several weeks, gaje the '
papers here the announce
ment that he had returned
to the county to make it his
permanent home, and that
he was now an independent
candidute for Congress in the
Eighth Congressional dis
trict. Ex-Senator Fortune always
polled about three hundred
more votes in Cleveland coun
ty than any other republican
on'a straight fight. He has
hundreds of friends who think
no man in the State has ever
been treated so badly as he
has by those who posed as
his friends. He is an aggres-'
sive campaigner, and the
campaign in the Eighth dis
trict will be the hottest in the
State from now until the elec
tion is over. Fortune is pre
paring a list of appointments
to-day and he invites both
Buxton and Blackburn to
join him in a joint discussion
of the issues before the peo
ple. Fortune will get more
votes in Cleveland and ua
ton counties than Blnckbnrn
and will divide honors with
Blackburn in several other
countits of the district. On
November the 7th the scalps
of both these republican as
pirate will be hanging on Dux
ton's belt.
