Thompson is one of the howl era for popular rights and one of the crowd who profess to be afraid that ii the Democrats carry the State at the next election they will change the election laws so as to deprive the negroes and "poor white" folks of the right to elect their county officers, magistrates, &c. To hear these fellows rant one would think they were natural-born free suffrag ists and that "a free ballot and a fair count" was one of the principles they imbibed with their infantile milk. In his speech at Asheboro Cy. waked up Hon. Marmaduke Bobbins by charging that the Demo cratic Legislature of 1877 was re sponsible for negro magistrates. In Sunday's issue we published part of the answer of Mr. Bobbins, and herewith give some extracts from a second communication, published in the Asheboro Courier, giving Cy's record, as a member of the Legisla ture, on the popular suffrage ques tion. It reads thus: "He and I were both members of the House of Representatives in 1883. Wa were both professing to be Demo crats, and I so sincerely so that no pie counter seeking or other incident has changed my views yet. His declara tions and actions must answer for him. During that session. House Bill 369, to increase the justices in each township by two, came up, and Mr. Page, from Jones county, moved to amend by providing that said magis trates be elected by the people of their townships. The present fusion pill peddling Dr. said no. See Journal, pages 337 and 338. He then wanted no elec tion of justices in his. Ed Powers, of Cumberland, moved to amend by pro Tiding that in the appointment of the additional justices, one should be ap pointed from each political party. On that amendment the present political pill peddler Cy voted no. He then voted for the passage of the bill So he then wanted them appointed by the General Assembly and not elected by the people; and farther wanted no mixture of Republicans, fusion or co operation in his. See 'Journal pages ooo, ao ana mu. - Afain when the Code earn nn nn its third reading, Mr; Hayes, of Rob eson, moved to strike out of the bill section 1091, which provided for the election of county commissioners by the justices of the peace Dr.- Cy, .j the present fusion ptll peddler voted no. See Journal, pages 700 and 704. This section 1091 in the bill is the same as section 71G in the Code as. ultimately printed, the number of. the sections being finally changed by reason of di viding the Code into two vols, instead of being all in one as was the original bill. Upon the question of the final adoption of the Code with election law and the system of the county government as they substantially in in their main features remained till the fusion Legislature of 1895, Dr. Cy voted aye. "Again Dr. Wilcox, of Ashe, had introduced a bill to repeal the. system of county government established in 1S76-7, and provided for the election in each county by the qualified voters, a treasurer, register of deeds, sur veyor, five county commissioners; and in each township its justices of the peace, and in each school district its school committee. This bill of Dr. Wilcox came up on its second reading on the i ight of February 21st 1883, ' when it had as s. okesmen on the floor of the House three advocates, viz: Ed. Powers, a liberal from Cumberland, Jim Davis, a negro from Wake, and J. W. Poe, a negro from Caswell; and the House was entertained with a regular round of school boy" eloquence. What a chance for Dr. Cy to have joined in with his later negro comrades and added to their wails of woe, of having been theretofore all the time from after reconstruction down to 1876 de prived of the right to vote for county officers, and the right to place Eastern Carolina whites under negro govern-mt-nt But no! Dr. Cy. was silent, and when the vote was taken he voted ai.-ain&t this; bill of Wilcox's and it failed to pass its second reading, in part by the vote of Dr. Thompson, see Journal page 563. I have now before me both the Journal showing the po litical pill peddler's vote, as I have stated, and a copy of Wilcox's bill as printed then by order of the Legis lature, and if any of Dr. Cy's hench men deny what I have said of them they can see where and what the truth is by calling on me and inspecting them.' With such arecord as this Hon. Cy.Thompson ought to sing very low on the suffrage question and have little to say about depriving the people of the right to elect their own magistrates, commissioners, etc. In 1SS3 he saw the necessity of pro tecting the East from negro rule, and hence he stood with his party then thejj Democratic party in protecting: the East, his own section, and opposed every movement to so open the suffrage as to make it pos sible for the negroes to get control of Eastern counties. He was think ing of his own people then and had not got along so far in political evo lution as to go into copartnership with the negroes to secure their sup port for office, and to barter . away protection to the white people for negro votes. If that protection was right and necessary in 1SS3 isn't it as right and as necessaiy now? Is there a single reason that Cyrus Thompson then gave for the position he took which is not as good and as applicable now as it was then? Are the negroes as a race any bet ter, more intelligent or more com petent to rule now than they were then? Are the white people any less so? He stood like a stone wall then against any movement to take the right of appointing magistrates from the Legislature, and against every proposition to in any way modify the then existing suffrage system, opposed every movement to let down the bars that the negro might get over; but now he is not onlj willing to see counties in his sec tion of the State overrun by them, but helps in the work of making the way easy for them, seems to be glad of the opportunity, and rails at the Democratic party for rais ing its voice in protest against making the white men of the East subordinate to the negro. And this, too, when the negroes have become so assertive and so ag gressive that they are claiming the earth, and boldly making the race issue in their own party where they are strong enough to do it, or where they are a material factor in the party. When Cy Thompson stood by the white people of the East and de manded protection for them, as he did in 1883, there was no such ag gressiveness in the negroes as there is now, they were not demanding from their white-skinned associates their proportionate quota of the offices fwhich in some counties would be about all), were not "in viting the race issue" as they are now, andwaje not one half as faKr.o. aa they are now. They have advanced amazingly within the past few years, encour aged as they have been by Cy Thomp son and the mercenary crowd of office-hunters that he is training with, and he knows it, but persists in encouraging them, and in burn ing deeper into his own forehead the 4brand of demagogue and de serter of his principles as professed ijn 1883 and of record as shown by colleague. Mr. Bobbins. How long wonld it take a man ho so basely deserted the principles he then contended for, and formed a political copartnership with the negroes, from whom he then in sisted that his own people must be protected, to flop and join some other party, if he thought he could profit by it? But there are no new parties for him to 'flop to. He flopped out of the Democratic party because it didn't value him at his own estimate, and took the Popu list route to the Bepublican camp, where he is sopping out of the same dish with the Bepublican bosses, white and black. Convention which met at Fayette ville last Thursday was, according to reports,- of ; creditable witnesses, one of the most disgraceful conven tions ever held in this State. i-jBuy-ing and selling are not rare in Be publican coventions," but there it was the rule, and so boldly fdone that it : became a matter of street talk before the convention- got through its work. The "delegates" were divided as to whether they would make a nomi nation, or endorse the nomination of Fowler, ! Populist. A majority of them were at first for a nomination, but the bosses at Baleigh were in favor of endorsing Fowler, and that settled it. They knew how to carry their point, and they carried it. The purchasing of delegates was done by both sides, but the machine got the most of them, and before the time for voting come had bought enough to secure the defeat of those who favored a straight nomination and to endorse the Pop. The defeated were so mad that they denounced the wholesale bribery and one of them, Sion Buchanan,is reported by the Observer to have publicly tackled colored delegate McCain, a preacher too, and made him disgorge ten dollars that he had paid him to vote for a nomination, and for himself. Mc Cain voted the other way because,as Buchanan alleged, he got more money from the other side. The anti-nomination business was engineered by one Hancock, (white) and Abe Middleton, the sable dic tator from Duplin. Hancock ran the finances. How he and Abe put up the job is thus told by the Fay etteville Observer: "As soon as the convention was or ganized Hancock read a telegram from the State Central Committee, saying that the committee had decided to fuse on Fowler and it would be no use for the convention to nominate a candi date, as he would not be recognized He then introduced a resolution that no nomination be made. This caused a storm of indignation, and when Oscar Spears got up to denounce the resolu tion and speak for a nomination he was greeted with tremendous applause. At this time there were only three or four delegates against a nomination, includ ing Abe Middleton and Hancock. "Buchanan was given an ovation when he stated that Fowler had lied to him and betrayed him, and called upon Hancock himself to deny that this was so, and when Hancock said that it was so, a might shout went up, mingled with denunciations of Fowler. But this was all to change shortly. While the speaking to the resolutions was in progress, which Abe Middlaton managed to prolong, Hancock was singling out the loudest denunciators (all colored of fusion, and taking them one by one into the iudere's room. By six o'clock a noticeable change had taken place and several of the anti-fusion shouters became as quiet as lambs. At 8 o'clock Hancock was ready and he called for the question, and lo and behold, thirteen out of the! twenty two votes were for no nomination and fusion. The buying was so bold and appar ent that it disgusted even some of the negro spectators. 1 Of course these fellows J are for "honest elections," "a free ballot and a fair count" and all that sort of thing, as beautifully illustrated in this daisy convention. I kt Monroe last : Saturday which was devoted mainly to national issues, (referring only incidentally toStafe issues, and that was io declare that (there was "too much negro" in this campaign; too much in the uemo- cratic hand book, and too much in the Populist hand book. . The Be- publicans have no. hand book, as the Populist hand book fills the bill for for them quite as well as any they could get up. He toek occasion to remark, how ever that this is "a white man's country," and that he is opposed to negro dominion, but from the fact that he objects to negro domination figuring so much as I an issue he doesn't seem to think that the Democratic party ought toay any thing about it, but 'simply to go on as he is doing, discussing national issues and letting the Bepublican and Populist fusion ists carry Jout the work of put ting more counties under negro rule and more negroes over white people. Mr. Butler is opposed to negro domination, but when it be comes an issue and the white men of his State are taking sides with their race, and thousands of Popu lists who had been acting with Marion Butler are falling in under the white man's standard, he simply declares that he is opposed to negro domination, makes no move nor opens his mouth to prevent it, but contents himself with the farce of discussing national issues, which there is ample time to discuss after we have settled this transcendency vital question as to whether Xorth Carolina is to be ruled by the white or by tho black man. This is the issue in North Caro lina now, and if Marion Butler was honest in declaring that he is op posed to negro domination he wouldn't be riding the fence and be contenting himself - with this kind of unmeaning chin work. - T 1 Favetteville Observer: Mr. D. 1 J.

H. man, White,y te Colored Congress Tells Colored Men to Go to the Polls With Guns. WHAT PEITCHAED SAYS. i Senator Pritchard, Chairman Hol ton and the defeated candidate for Congress, Settle, were in Washing ton last week. Pritchard and Hol ton are said to have gone there to pull the money dispensers for some eash; to put "where it will do the most good." Settle talked to a re porter of the Post and said that the political condition in the State was so chaotic that it was impossible to forecast the butcome. "When a Re publican politician admits that much it is practically a confession that there isn't much show for his side. But Senator Pritchard talked dif ferently and told an interviewer that the Republicans would make a gain of two congressmen. He was doubt referring to Caldwell and Jenkins, Populists, who were nominated through his instrumentality, and whom he will count as Republicans in the event of election. We judge from hi3 putting the gain at two that he is not very sanguine of . "the election of Harry Skinner, who is another Pritchard Populist. As he was there for funds, of course he had to make a plausible showing, for the purse holders up there don't put money in a campaign unless there is a show for its panning out all right. DISGUSTED XEGBOES. The white Rads were very humble and polite to the negroes until they arranged to fuse with the Populists, aye, even implored them to allow them equal representation in their county convention; but when fusion was agreed upon, they ruthlessly kicked the negro aside and said, at least by their action, of course we want your votes, but we are white and will have all the Offices and the poor creatures wilted. But there is a howl in the negro camp. There is much dissatisfac tion among the colored people, and if they don't put out a separate ticket many of them will not vote at all. Rockinqham Rocket.

The Oflhboot of One That Was Part Boston's Famow Tea Cargo. One of tho most interesting homes In historic Georgetown is the Tudor place. Tho sago palm of Revolutionary famo stands in tho Tudor conservatory In win ter and on tho beautiful lawn in summer. It belongs to Martha Washington's grand daughter, who Is the oldest living descend ant of tho family. Mrs. Brittania W. Kennon is the daughter of Colonel Thomas Peter, who married Martha Custis, and la the widow of Commodore Beverly Ken non, who lost his lifo by the explosion of a gun npon, tho Princeton in 1844, The main body of the old " houso was bnilt by Colonel Peter in 1816. In this houso Mrs. Kennon was born and. has always lived Xn 1 775, when the historic cargo of tea was dumped into Boston harbor, .thero were on board throe small palms. Tho largest was carefully sent to Mount Ver non, another . to the home of Governor Morris of Morrisimia. while the third waa taken to the Pratt gardens, near Philadel phia. Ten years later tho conservatory at Mount Y or hon was burned and tho paira lost. Thirty -six years later, in 1813, Mrs. Kennon 's mother drove in her carriage, a journey of four i;i vs. to Philadelphia, vis ited the Pratt jcar.lor.s, bought several lib tie plants and carried them in a basket to her own irrrenhouse One of-them was an offshoot of tho original sago palm, and to day is a writable Colonial Dame or Daugh ter of the Revolution It is now almost ii century Old and has never known another homo Its fruit is ' not abundant, like the cocoanut or ilato palm It bears a small apricot shaped fruit only once In several years. Its ter minal budding at the end of tho stemtia like a crown. Somo years it unfolds long slender spikes or palm branched, but sev eral times during Mrs. Kennon's lifo thero has been a wonderful growth of fern shaped, delicate leaves, soft and spongy in . texture and color. When left on the tree until the sap is pretty well down in tho trunk, they retain their shape and color many years. Botanists have examined them with keen interest. It appears liko a cabbage and slowly unfolds its yellowish brown fern leaves after tho fashion of our house ferns. If left on the tree, they die. -.New York Sun A Narrow Escape.

From this unlucky omen and the vexation felt by those con cerned the epithet of Kahira (the vexatious or unlucky) asl added to tho name of the city, Maar el Ivohira, meaning 'tho un lucky city of jpt.'" Kahira in tho Italian pronunciation has been softened into Cairo. Success. Wholesale Prices Current M The following quotations represent Wnole Prices generally.

A sailor on board n man-of-war was one day "heaving j the load" to qualify aa able seaman. The lead was heaved cor rectly, the line 'gathered up and the depth of water indicated apparently correctly ob tained, the man calling out in the usual singsong moniipr, But the examining officer could not make out what the man was saying, and after telling hjnj several times to speak, more distinctly Jjt last called him into explain what be had sald. When asked jcvny ho bad not called the soundings in aiiainer manner, his answer was: J "Beg pardlng, sir. I knows the tune. but I ain't rightly: sure of tho words."

Reports of a severe storm in the Atlantic States and a bullish set of cables from the English market were responsible for an advance of 3 to 5 points in cotton futures at the opening this morning. For the rest of the session fluctuations were narrow and speculative features lacking. It was a small local market at best, with room traders in control. The close was quiet and steady at a net advance of 2 to 4 points. News averaged up too conflicting to inspire confidence one way or the other, but rather led to extreme conservatism and hesitancy all around. While the leading bears pointed to the enormous receipts at the ports as well as at interior townH as bearing out their predictions for an other "bumper" crop, they were very apprehensive in view of the fact that yellow fever continues to gain head way in Louisiana and Mississippi and extremely cold weather has settled down over the middle and northwest sections.
