Committee.

in
They Ask Kentucky Demo
crats to Support Goe
bel Loyally.
MeLean Says Much of the S aspic ion of
Disloyaly to Bryan is Un
founded. Chicago, Sept. 18. Party unity was
the central idea of the resolution
adopted at the meeting of the execa
tive committee of the democratic ra
tional committee liere itoday. Te
odive branch was held out to the gold
democrats, the factiondsts in Kentucky
were appealed to bury their differences
and the committee decided to maintain
the national "headquartere in Chicago
with J. G. Johnson, of Kansas, 4n
charge.
Johnson was in fact made general
manager, and will have charge not
only of the work of the general organ
ization but of collecting funds and of
the campaign press bureau. Johnson
will be assisted, by Sam B. Cook, now
manager at t'be ntat-B. means b4i-J
The address of the national Commit
tee praying for, harmony was cast in
the shape, of a resolution offered by
Vice Chairman Stone and adopted
unanimously. It expresses confidence
in the outcome and adds: "That tihe
great need now is party unity, and
thereby a thkwough organization. The
committee appeals therefore to its par
ty friends in all states, and especially
in the states where! elections are to be
Iheld this year, ito put aside all local
differences wherever they exist, and
supcprt the regular party tickets earn
estiiknd enthusiastically, keeping al
wayiPin viewtthe great struggle of next
year, and remembering that in unity
there is strength, and in division there
is. weakness. Especially do we appeal
to (the Kentucky democracy to give
loyal support to the regular ticket of
that state, (headed by GoeTel , and
thereby make sure of democratic vic
tory and the return of Senator Black
burn to the senate."
The only incident out of the common
was the tilt between McLean and
George Fred Williams over the holding
of the mass state convention this week
to choose the national delegates. Will
iams said this was. done to insure silver
men being sent whereupon McLean
retorted that be didn't have much con
fidence in democrats so much afraid of
themselves that did not dare to hold
their convention at the usual time, and
that mush of the suspicion of disloyalty
to Bryan and the Chicago platform was
unfounded.
Bryanls absence caused comment but
all the speakers were (outspoken for
him.

Believes Whites and

Favors Educational Test
Applying ta Both Races
Alike.
That is Why He i3 Agreeable
to the Proposed
Amendment.
The Grandfather Clansa Unconstitn
tional and Its "Protection" of
White Illiteracy Only a Sham.
jl iiwxii.s oeucie, iormer repre
sentative in congress from (the Fifth
district of this state, is in Ashevilie.
Mr. Settle has been quoted as in in
var ox itne constitutional amendment,
HmTtnM -"U ..JSC mn
Liuiuug .uixc euu.i-a,ge . rne gazette is
able today to state that the newspapers
that have published alleged interviews
with Mr. Settle to ithis effect have ut
tered only part of the truth. Mr. Set
tle is in favor of the amendment for a
reason (these newspapers cannot Tmh-
lisn and at the same time make from
Mr. Settle's position tLhe kind of po-
l.'ii .1 At
-jinciu capital uiey want, i'ew ner-
sora . lip this- m.Wjomy3i''6 "of
intelligence sufficient to read the fifth
section of the proposed amendment
the Qineal descendent clause, which is
used as a "blind" to deceive Illiterate
white voters 'and also the fifteenth
amendment 4t the United States Con
stitution, are ignorant of the fact that
the fifth section is unconstitutional,
and that the effect of the amendment,
if passed, would be TO PLACE
THE UNEDUCATED WHITES AND
BLACKS IN THE SAME BOAT, dis
franchising both. This is the view of
Hon. Thomas Settle. For the reason
that. he is in favor of the fourth sec
tion of the amendment, which makes
no discrimination between the races,
but is an educational qualification " for
ALL voters, and is itherefore Consti
tutional, and the additional reason that
he regards the fifth section, that at
tempts to discriminate between the
races, grating privileges to one that it
withhailds from the other, as. in viola
tion of the constitution of (the United
States, making it therefore a null and
void portion of the amendment, he has
declared himself in favor of the meas
ure. Mr. Settle expresses himself as
follows:
"I am in favor of the amendment,
because I favor an educational qualifi
cation. I believe the resu'lt of the
amendment will he to eliminate igno
rant and vicious voters, both white-and
black. The fifth section of the law is
unconstitutional and will be thrtown
out. I have no doubt of that. This
will leave the fourth section of the
amendment in force, and no illiterate
person cab, then vote, whatever his
race or color."
Mr. Settle went somewhat farther
than ithis, in a conversation yesterday,
and said that in his opinion) "the effect
of the amendment, as applied to il
literates of (both races, will be more
strongly felt by the whites than by ne
groes, for the reason that the . negroes
are largely residents of towns; where
the facilities-for obtaining- an educat on
are good, while the illiiterate whites are
mostly farmers, living in localities
where It is difficult to obtain an edu
cation." SUSPECTED CASE OF

GOVERNMENT SHOULD
PROVIDE HOME FOR NEGRO
Thus Says Gen. Butler in a Letter to a
New Yorker.
Greenville, S. C, Sept. 18. General
Butler has written a letter on the race
question in which he takes the position
that the government should provide a
home in Cenral or South America for
the negro race. The letter is addressed
to a New Yorker who recently asked
Butler some questions as to the race
situation. Speaking of the proposed
emigration, Butler says: "To my
mind it behooves the government to
carry out the proposition of President
Lincoln and provide a home in Central
or South America, or elsewhere, to
which the negro may be induced to em
igrate and set up for himself. It
wtould be infiinitely better for the ne
gro, who can never reach the full
measure of American manhood and
citizenship with his environments of
race prejudice and ostracism."
