Office in Court House, opposite Sheriff's. sessed. Fear of negro rule compelled the Republicans and Populisms to in troduce for the first- time in N h Carolina since the Democratic piny abolished it ander the , leadership of tint true hearted and great North Carolinian, Gevernor David S. Reid, a government by free-holders, for this act distinctly provides that the. two additional commissioners shall only be appointed upon the application of 200 citizens, 100 of whom shall be free holders. The Republicans and Popu lists themselves thereby to some exten' restricted suffrage to those who owned land in order to escape from the un bearable burden of negro rule . in the to hold office public sentiment was Stronger than law, and public senti ment was opposed to the negro hold ing office." Indeed it has become the fashion among Republicans and Pop ulists to assert the unfitness of the ne gro to rule, but when they use the word rule, they confine it to holding office; when we say that the negro is unfit to rule we carry it one step further and convey the correct idea that he is unfit to vote. The causes which have brought about this consensus of opin ion have in large measure forced them selves on public attention' within the last few years. . We have had but two periods of Republican rule in North Carolina, from 1868 to 1870, and from 1896 to 1898. That party con tains a large number ol respectable white men, but' the negro constitutes over two-thirds of its voting strength. Government can never be better nor wiser than the average of the virtue and intelligence of the party that State and the Senators will not be afraid to speak anywhere, for freedom of speech will become the common possession of tha humblest of us. Life and property and liberty from the mountains to the sea shall rest seeure in the guardimship oi the law. Bat to do this we must disfranchise the the law of God in recognilicn of !.t. If we are wrong about this, then God pity os for that sense of superiority which beats with our blood and boast fully exclaims with Su Paul "I am free born." .

Will any man deny it? Will Senator Pritchard deny itf Hear what be said in his recent 'speech in the Senate: "It is absurd to contend that there is any danger of negro dom ination in North Carolina. Io the very nature of things it cannot be. From the earliest dawn of civilization to this good hour the great white race has given to the world its history, its philosophy, its laws, its government. and its Christianity, and it will ccn tinue to do so." Why unless the white man is superior? Will Senator Butler deny it? Ask tbe Caucasian, evidently named in honor of the great race. Will Governor Russell deny it? Surely he will not assert that unlettered - white men are no better than "savages." If then it be true that unlettered white men have a knowledge of government superior to that possessed by unlettered negroes I want to know if Senators But ler and Pritchard and Governor -Rus. sell want the Supreme Court to hold that the XV amendment demands a LIE. . The Democratic party knows the truth it is certain that the unlet tered white man is more capable o government than the negro. It is so certain of it that it has put its opinion in writing has printed it in the law of 1899 has submitted it to .the peo ple and it now challenges any white man in North Carolina to deny it Republicans ' are professing a specia' love for the poor and unlettered white man, but at the same time they assert that the law can make no distinction between him and the negro.
