APT. JOHN B. EAVES
ON THE AMENDMENT
Addresses a Large Gathering at Sun-
Skine. Democrats Divided
on the Measure.
Special to the Gazette.
Rutherfordton, N. C, Feh. 17. Cap
tain John B. Eaves, ex-chairman of the
republican, executive committee of
North Carolina, spoke to a large and
attentive body of people at Sunshine,
this county, today on the constitution
al amendment.
Capain Evans expressed' himself
pleased that so many were present; it
was evidence of interest in the Issues
before them. He continued as follows:
"What I 'have to say will not be new
to you. The proposed constitutional
amendment is, I presume, what I am
expected to talk about. I have no dis
position to withhold my views on this
or any other question of public inter
est. I regard this proposition to dis
franchise a part of the people as un
wise, unjust and in violation of the
spirit of the constitution of the United
States. The pretext for this issue is
fear of negro domination.' "What are
the facts? The whites number two to
one in the state, 90 ner cent, of the
property is owned by them, their edu
cational and general advantages are
superior in every respect then where
is the danger? There is none. We
all know that the campaign or 1896
Tas made on the money question, the
republicans supporting the gold stand
ard and the democrats free silver. Mc-
Kinley's election fixed the gold stand
ard on the country andi results have
been so favorable to 'business anl gen
eral prosperity that the democratic
party saw some issue other than free
silver must be made if they would con
trol the state, hence the race issue, the
only one by which they could hope to
hold .together.
"Thousands of democratis believe,
with republicans, that every dollar
should be worth one hundred cents, ana
that gold as a standard wrill make and
keep that so.
"On the constitutional amendment
the democrats are also divided, many
of them agree with the Georgia demo
crats, that the amendment is unnec
essary and that it is a crime against
the white people to so amend the con
stitution that their posterity should
be deprived of the right to vote and
to exercise the full rights of citizen
ship. There are democrats in this
state who will not commit themselves
to limited suffrage it is not in accord
with their long cherished principles of
self-government; the discrimination
against the poor white man is espe
cially obnoxious to them and con
trary to. the proud! boast of their party
for thirty years, that the rights of the
white mam were sacred and inviolable.
The amendment does not disfranchise
any white man now, but it does sub
ject every white man to a test who ar
rives at maturity after 1908. After that
date all who cannot read and write
the constitution are disfranchised.
"This installment plan for disfran
chising our people is a novelty and is"
confusing to many in their own party.
That class of our citizens, as good men
as we have, descendants of the heroes
of the revolution, soldiers and the sons
of soldiers of the civil war wiho cannot
read and write, hut who have voted all
their lives, are asked to impose a restric
tion upon their children that was never
imposed upon them. The demand is
unreasonable and the vote wouldi be un
natural. We owe it to posterity ' and
the great principles of self-government
to defeat this proposition. If this act
of the legislature is ratified, it becomes
a part of the constitution of the state,
and some of you who are listening to
me now will see the day wflen colored
men can vote and some white men can
not. We must not overlook the fact
that the negro who can vote is eligi
ble to office; the white man who can
not is ineligible; and, consequently,
on some negroes is conferred a higher
grade of citizenship than on some
white men. Talk about the radicals
of 1868 and the fusionists of 1898! This
proposition of the democrats in 1900 to
rob the illiterate man of his vote is a
wrong that will 'be talked of long after
our poor tongues are silent.
"The poll tax clause shows the same
spirit of discrimination against the poor
man.- The man of means can always
pay his poll tax on time and vote, while
many a poor man cannot, and conse
quently is not allowed to vote, altnough
he may be able to read and write.
"This amendment, taken as a whole,
seems to have been constructed on the
plan of the oldi darkey's fish basket
open at both ends, so, as the old man
said, 'Massa, me kin ketch 'em a-goin'
an' a-comin'.'
"The sincerity of the democrats in
their opposition to trusts and monopo
lies appears questionable when we con
sider the monopoly on the ballot box
growing out of this proposed onange
In our constitution. Making the poll
tax Teceipt and the ability to read
and wrte the constitution conditions
on which the right to vote may be ex
ercised! is but creating a political mo
nopoly by which a minority may rule.
Minority rule is unjust and always
dangerous.
"If the amendment, is ratified, nine
democrats will be sent to congress

who will legislate for forty-six other
states as well as North Carolina.
Interest makes issues. Under
such circumstances is it not
likely that this will ibecome a national
issue? When the franchise was given
the negro the representation of our
state was increased.
"It is to the interest of the state to be
fully represented. The rapidly increas
ing industries and consequent loca
tion of capital within her borders are
potent reasons for taking no risks.
"Much 'has been said through the
press about the constitutionality of the
amendment. With this we have noth
ing to do. If the necessity arises then
the courts will have their duty to per
form. Ours is to defeat it at the bal
lot box, and I have confidence that
if the opposition will present the ques
tion fairly and energetically, that when
the election returns are counted the
son will have lost no rights which the
gather enjoyed. The action of the
Georgia legislature in repudiating this
same proposition to limit the franchise
in order to eliminate the negro will be
more successful in settling the race
question for that state than the ac
tion of the democrats in the North
Carolina legislature who propose to de
grade the illiterate white man rather j
than tolerate the negro. There the
negro now feels secure in his rights;
he is relieved of that uneasy interest
which naturally attaches to uncer
tainty concerning them and we may ex
pect to find him voting on either side
of politics in that state. Here the ten
sion is increased and if the amendment
is ratified the end is not in sight.
"This is a question of so much impor
tance to the people of the state that
it becomes the duty of the republic
ans to stand solidly against it and de
feat it. Nothing would give more
force against it than a loyal endorse
ment of the gold standard and Mc
Kinley's administration. The nation
al republican party has the confidence
of the people, and Justly so. It has
always been true to liberty. This is
a proud record, one of the greatest
and grandest by which to measure po
litical organizations, and I say here to
day that, measured by the standard of
liberty, equal, universal, impartial
liberty, liberty to all classes and all
colors and all nationalities, the repub
lican party stands before the country
preeminently the party of universal
liberty."

WAYNESVILLE NOTES.
Even the Simmonsites Can't do With
out the Gazette.
Waynes ville, Feb. 17. We enjoyed a
nice little snow this 'morning the most
that has fallen this season.
Mr. S. C. Caldwell, Jr., representing
the Asheville Hardware company, has
been in the city several days.
Mr. Conoon was here recently repre
senting the Raleigh Post. The Post
must 'have some sort of a trust" at its
back as they send! out hundreds of
copies daily "without money and with
out price."
Hodgin, of the Odell Hardware com
pany, of Greensboro, was here today
doing our hardware merchants.
Mr. J. B. Franklin, of Knoxville,
was in town yesterday.
Mr. Charles E. Grove, prescription
clerk in Mcintosh & Co.'s drug store,
is visiting ihis mother, who lives at
Charlottesville, Va. While . there he
will be present at the marriage of one
of his sisters.
It is amusing to hear some of our lo
cal Simmonsites, who vilify and refuse
to take or read the Gazette, talking of
things that paper publishes. The sup
position is they sneak around arid read
their neighbor's paper while they
themselves read' the Citizen, of black
and tan reputation, or the News ana
Observer, which rarely ever even at
tempts to tell the truth. Meantime the
Gazette goes on preaching sound doc
trine and political liberty.
It is a little remarkable also to note
that the News and Observer and Char
lotte Observer are about the only white
papers in this state that publish, com
munications from "niggers." The
News and Observer a day or two ago
published a letter from a negro compli
menting Mr. Bryan's Raleigh speech.
This was no reproach to the colored
man, however, as he could not have
found a paper nearer 'his own level.

Colonel E. N. O. Clough, who has just
died in Kansas City, was a veteran of
the Mexican war and colonel of a Mis
souri regiment on the Union side during
the civil war. He took an active part
in securing the admission of Kansas into
the union as a free state. "In July, 1825,"
says the Kansas City Star, "when Mr.
Clough was only a year old, his parents,
who lived !in Aldrich, Va., took nim to
Boston and while en route they passed
through New York city at the -time o
Gen. Lafayette's visit. The illustrious
Frenchman took young dough in his
Jap at the Bunker hotel, and, placing
his hands on his head, Messed him, say
ing: 'An old man's blessing will do ho
harm.' Mr. Ciough often referred to
this 'incident, aying that the French
man's blessing must have followed him
and filled his life with happiness."
