' SILVER IN EKGL&HD.
The Richmond Utspatch
7
a few
days ago, contained a. report or an
interview with Mr. Clarence : B.
Young, Secretary of Senator Daniel,
who had just returned from a visit to
Europe.in company 'with the Sena
tor. In reply to '.the inquiry , "What
do they think of the silver move
ment in America?" he said : i 1
-
- "vvnai do iucy mink ui iuc suvcr
movement in Americs?" i '
"VVeil-lked, with tome of the big
bankers, and naturally they are in favor
oigold. I noticed one thing, however.,
tbat our silver certificates were worth
more in England than English gold; that
is tbe banks were glad to give von a
sold sovereign far a $5 silver certificate,
add by so doing .1 think they would

nu&e aooui a suuuuk. ou tuu sec we
can take siver certificates to England
and get allthe'Eaglish gold money we
want, and that is more than you can do
at our banks here.
The English are glad, to get any kind
. of American raoaey. aad,in my opinion,
this talk of England's unloading Amer
ican securities if silver prevails is all
-bosbT If we raise the price of silver
here by giving it free coinage, and bring
down tbe price of geld by diminishing
the demand for it. the effect will be the
same in all countries holding silver, and
. England" will, seek investments here
more than ever. f
The reason for this is obvious Prop
erty, commodities, jtocks, labor and
rverythin? will 'go 'up in value, and
i Eneland has money lookinz for invest
ment. 1. ; . .
We saw a statement some time
ago that silver certificates com-
Handed a premium over gold in
England, but why .was not stated.
But that statement, corroborated by
this statement of Mr. foung, hows
that our silver 'certificates' are in de
mand there, and that there is a mar
gin for profit in handling them.
T
here is another statement in this
extract which is generally confirmed
r by travellers ir Europe and that is
that they all want American ' silver
and can't get too much of it. It is
only the banks there which try,: as
the banks ia this country also do, to
freeze it out. Theytake it only at'
iu bullion value while the people in
the ordinary transactions of life take
it at its face value as they do their
own silver coins. This' shows that
, there is bo popular prejudice against
our silver money and that silver is
just as acceptable for the. purposes
for which it is; used as gold. . The
.Plain, unvarnished truth is . that the
People of Europe are, as the people
of this country are, in favor 6f , bi
metallism, for they have suffered
from the evil i consequences1 of the
gold standard quite as much as the
People of this country have.
The country which has suffered
'east by it Ts France for France,
, although she Has ceased to coin sil
ver, recognizes silver as thef equal
Wore the iawj with gold, and France
"as come nearer maintaining the bi
Gallic standard than any of tbe
'her European countries, and even
; than this country, which claims to
be a bimetallic country, for She in
s!sts on the right to pay heir obhga
I'ods in silver and does it, if she finds
u more convenient to pay silver than
gold. I 1 ';t
j u not the: people of Europe who
I. are Ending in the way of the re-

at
. nr. Joseph Chamberlain," Eng
VOL. XXVII.
nsh becretary of Colonies, who is
now on a visit to this country. In
reply to a question as to what Eng
land thinks of tile silver agitation,
he said: e
Were all the commercial and financial
nations to come to an agreement, we
should fall into line as bimetallism and
agree on the question of parity. But no
nation in the world can prosper standing
alone for bimetallism. v j . , j ,
This reminds us of the reverend
gentlemen who was asked by his
congregation to pray for rain. He
didn't have unbounded confidence in
his power to bring rain and he didn't
like to shake the confidence of his
congregation either in the power of
prayer or in him, so he struck on the
innocent ruse of asking them to get
together and decide on how much
raln they needed, whether much or
little; but they couldn't agree, for
some had crops that were nearly ma
tured and which would be injured by
much rain, " while others v had
crops which needed much, ' and
long ..before . , they u came to
an agreement it rained and there was
no occasion for praying. So with
John Bull. He will be, willing to
agree to bimetallism when all the
commercial nations agree to it, feel
ing quite sure that it will be a very
late day when they agree; and so far,
as the money lenders of England,
who control legislation in that coun
try as the money lenders ia - this
country have for a generation, can
use their power and- Influence they
will take very good care that the
commercial nations do not come to
an agreement. -
' For eight or ten years there has
been a movement in Europe for bi
metallism; a couple of Congresses
have been held, but there was al
ways a discordant element in them
representing the money lenders, and
they never got any nearer together
than the starting point. There were
.ngiisn Dimetainsts in lnoseconter
ences, but England was -never offi
cially represented and never obli
gated herself to abide by any decis-
I ion made. '
While the masses of the, people ot
Europe who discuss such matters are
decidedly in favor of bimetallism the
moneylenders are opposed to it,
and it is the sheerest nonsense to
talk about "international agreement"
as to the ratio of coinage' and the
men in this country who profess to
be in favor of free coinage upon
such conditions, know it. Some of
them acknowledge it and yet the
gold standard advocates try to hum'
bug the people with it and the build
ers of the Republican platform on
which Mr. McKinley stands had the
brazen audacity to perpetrate that
fake and pledge the party to use its
efforts to bring . about international
agreement if restored to power.
There is but one way to establish
bimetallism, and that is for some
bold, independent nation to lead and
encourage the more timid to follow;
and the United .States, with their
70,000,000 of people, can and should
do it. i- Xv 1 -:-r
maos MEHTIOH.
There is one thing that we admire
in Mr. McKinley, an, attribute that
he possesses in common with the
high protectionists, but to a greater
extent than many of them, and that
is his amazing audacity, and the
cool effrontery with. which he counts
on the ignorance or credulityM or
both, of the people to whom he
speaks. In his recent address to vis
iting Republican editors of West
Virginia he, among other things, in
which there was a good deal of soft
solder and taffy to the pencil wield
ers, said ;.. -:' H vl
But remember you can do this only
by a restoration of confidence. You can
never do It if you destroy confidence.
Strive for a fuller development of your
industries; build up a greater and more
profitable home market for the products
of your farms; advance always that pros
perity which enables tne employer to pay
the highest scale of wages to the' work
ingmen of America not the lowest. Ex
alt jhe character of your labor. -Never
degrade it. Promote that comfort and
contentment at home which conduce to
good citizenship, gooa morals ana gooa
order. Stand up for .America and Amer
ica will stand for you. Kestore tne prin
ciple in our legislation wbtcu gave us
prosperity. . ;
strinoed of its deceit,! hypocrisy,
and its disregard "of historic truth,
and reduced to its essence this simply
means have "confidence in Mark
Hanna and me." We use Mr. Han
na's name first because he will be the
power behind the throne if McKinley
be elected, for he is the man who has
put McKinley where he is and is run
ning him. Does Mr. McKinley sup
pose that the lack of "confidence,"
which he is so anxious to see restorea,
and the depressed condition of busi
ness are of recent origin, or attribu.
table to the want of protection under,
the Wilson tariff t He knows better.
He knows that -the calamity cloud
b'ursted when his tariff was in full
operation, and he knows that hun
dreds of factories which were closed
when the Wilson tariff went into
effect have been since opened, and he
knows that thousands of people
who were " then without work
have since found it, and he knows,
too, that- the average reduction in
the Wilson tariff is less than five
per cent, of the average rate in the
McKinley tariff, and he knows, too,
that the average rate of protection
in the Wilson tariff is higher than
the average rate under the Repub
Hcan tariff of 1884, which was over
twice as large as that of the Repub
lican tariff of 1864. He knowstoo,
that our manufacturers have done
a larger export business under the
Wilson tariff than they ever did un
der; any Republican tariff beyond
all comparison, and yet he has the
amazing audacity to talk about
ruinous Democratic tariff legisla-i
tion, and to assert that this is the
cause of our troubles.

The Republican rejoicing over
their victory in Vermont is simply a
"much ado about nothing," and as
for its being a condemnation ofand
a triumph over free silver, free sli
ver wasn't in it as a factor, for there
was no free silver platform and no
free silver candidates. The Demo
cratic platform on the money ques
tion declared for the gold ' Standard,
and was substantially the same as
the Republican national platform;
rather more of a gold platform, for it
made no profession of a desire for
free coinage on "international agree-;
ment" The fact is there' was no
effort made by the Democrats to
carry the State; ; they made
no campaign, they j knew they
had a large majority against
them - which -. they - could not
hope to overcome, for that State is
and has been evej; since the organi
zation of the Republican party over
whelmingly Republican. ' Seeing that
the leaders of the party had put them
on the Republican platform the Dem
ocratic rank and file felt that there
was no issue and had no heart in the
fight; but even with all this against
them they polled a vote, only 159 less
than the vote they, polled in the last
State election, two years ago. It
was not a defeat of free silver, but a
tefeat of a Democratic ticket stand
tag-on a gold platform. ..The Demo
cratic vote fell -off but littlebut the
Republican vote was largely in
creased, and a vigorous effort with
the material assistance of Mark Han
na, who has control of part, was made
not to carry the State, for they know
they could do that, but to make , the;
majority as large as possible for the
imagined possible effect on other,
States, and to prevent tbe demorali
zation that they feared would result
from a falling off in the Republican
vote or an increase in the Democratic
vote. The bosses knew what they
were doing, whooped it up and
scoured the woods. They got in
their work and now they are crow
ing over it. But it is a crow over a
dispirited gold Democratic party,
which was betrayed and deserted by
its leaders. It was no victory over
silver, for silver was not in issue; in
fact, there was no issue. , j

that

vertisement contains a cut of a very
nice monument, on the base of which
is inscribed "McKinley." Of course
these marble cutters could not be
suspected of making light of a grave

such a-decorous journal to poke fun
at the gentleman from Canton. ' .
Li Hung Chang says this is a great
country, but we learn- everything
from England. Li came to this
hastv conclusion because he has
heard the gold men talking so much
about the excellence of the English
void b svstem. which I thev insist we
must follow tip or go to tbe demni
tion bowrwows. With this exception
Li should know 'that we do lots of
things that we never learned from
England. , ;
The New York Times wastes Its
space in trying to show that the ad
vocates of free silver are "waging
war upon the gold standard." What
simplicity. Of course we are. We
proclaim against the gold standard
and we are going to knock the gold
standard out on the first round it we
can do it We are not playing any
double-shuffle game this time. -
"Democracy is Awake" is a head
line in the New. YoxSun referring
to the meeting of the McKinley Aid
Society at Indianapolis. Judging
from the spontaniety with which the

Wm. J. Bryan on his journey West
ward, we should say it was.
Li Hung Chang was so amazed at
Secretary Carlisle's knowledge of the
Chinese monetary j system that he
said' Mr. Carlisle 1 would be the
greatest man in China, If there. But
when Hon. Li indulged in that bit
of Mongolian pleasantry he had not
met the distinguished Mr. Eckels.
The Philadelphia Record, g. o., pro
claims that there were not . hotels
enough in Indianapolis to hold the
Democrats assembled at tnat m.ck.1

Avcock addressed a larce and enthusi

strong argument lor the cause. Much
gocd wilt f ollow it. I
The Populists held their county con
vention hete to-day and filled out the
skeleton ticket which the Republicans
left at their recent convention. There
Is much silent opposition in the county
to this fusion, and many Populists will
vote the Democratic ticket. Harry Skin
ner made a speech, which, showed that
he favored and would do anything un
der heaven that would secure his return
to Congress. The general comment
after tbe speech was that he is the
rankest demagogue and trickster of any
man in any party under the sun. No
man in the first District who bas a
shadow of Democracy about him could
afford to vote for Harry Skinner. Both
Forbes and Phillips, who were in tbe
last Legislature from this county, were.
coolly laid aside for A. J. Moye. door
keeper of the last House. Abe Middle-
ton was nominated for . tbe Senate.
Moye said in his speech' of acceptaece
that he was a Populist all over and that
his vote for Senator in tbe Legislature
would be cast for-the nominee of the
Populist caucus and no other.

Chicago, September 5. Mr. and Mrs.
Bryan were up bright and early this
morning and left the Auditorium Annex
shortly after 8 o'clock-to take the 8.30
train on the Northwestern road for Mil
waukee. Among those accompanying
the party were E. C Wall, the Demo
cratic ' National Committeeman from
Wisconsin, and wife.
Racine. Wis . September 5. Several
hundred were awaiting tbe arrival of the
train at Waukegan, I1L, where the first
stop was made.- Mr. Bryan spoke briefly.
A large crowd, composed probably of
a thousand people, was gathered at Ke
nosha to welcome tbe candidate to Wis
consin. Mr. Bryan made a brief address,
and, as at Waukegan, there were counter
cheers for McKinley as the train drew
Out.-.-' - - ;".. .,'". 1 ;. ''; -
More than a thousand people were as

brief!, and on the conclusion of his re
marks was heartily cheered.
Milwaukee, Wis r September 5.
Three speeches were made by William
J Bryan before Milwaukee audiences
to-day. In tbe first the Democratic
candidate (cored those who took part in
tbe gold convention at Indianapolis, ac
cusing them of dishonest intention ia
nominating a third ticket. Oae of the
other addresses was the most sensa
tional Mr. Bryan has delivered during
the campaign. It was devoted entirely
to the Government bond issues, and
teemed with implication of the Admin
istration and the members of tbe bond
syndicate. He did not mention any
names but it was evident whom he
meant in his denunciatory statement.
Heavy rain spoiled the afternoon speech.
for half of those who attended - tbe
Bryan meeting at National Park. About
5,000 people composed the audience, and
large segments of them broke and ran,
when the rain became a down-pour.
The other three thousand or so held
their ground, and very uncomfortable
ground at that, and would cot let the
candidate cut his remarks short, as he
said he wanted to do, despite the fact
that nearly everybody was drenched to
Both of 1 5 -night's meetings were held
in bcblitz Park, The first address of
Mr. Brvan there was delivered in a
small theatre, in which 2 000 people
found seats and another thousand
crowded tbe aisle and the spaces around
tbe door. Outside in the chill damp
night air were gathered more than 6.000
people, who were unable . to gain admit
tance, and these Mr. Bryan addressed
alter his indoor speech" was con
cluded. Both audiences were liberal
in applause and the utterances
concerning the bond negotiations
which bordered on the sensational, were
received with great cheering. During
part of - Mr. Bryan's remarks la the
theatre there was much confusion and
shouting by those outside tbe door, and
the speaker was compelled to pause
several times. For the first half hour
of his speech considerable hissing was
heard, but it was not apparent whether
this mark of disapproval was intended
for Mr. Bryan or those who were caus
ing the confusion. :. ,
Milwaukee. Wis., September 5.
William J. Bryan reached the North
western station here at 11.40 o'clock this
morning and was met by . ex-Governor
Peck and Wm. C Suverthorn, Demo
cratic candidate for Governor! of Wis
consin. Owing to good police arrange
ments, the crowd gathered at the sta
tion was prevented from rushing on the
platform as at other places visited by tbe
candidate, and Mr. Bryan, leaning on the
arm of ex-Governor Peck, bad a clear
space to bis carriage. Cbairman James
W. Murphy, United States Collector of
Internal Revenue for the Eastern dis
trict of Wisconsin, and the other mem
bers of the Milwaukee escort commit
tee, who bad met Mr. Bryan at Kenosha,
fell in.behind and entered the carriages
reserved for them.
Tbe crowd at the station numbered
several: thousand and Mr. Bryan was
cheered in his progress along the plat
form. The route by which he went to
the Piankinton Hotel was lined with
people and there was occasional applause
which grew to an almost continuous
cheer as the Plankinton Hotel was ap
proached. The street in front of the
Plankinton was packed with people and
when Mr. Bryan appeared on the bal
cony they manifested their feelings in
loud yells. ! Mr. Bryan made a lew re
marks and was frequently interrupted
by cries of approval. Afterwards he
held : a reception in tbe parlor of the
hoteL ,. . '; w i
A rain storm bad a bad effect on the
meeting addressed by Mr. Bryan at Na
tional Park this afternoon.. A temporay
stand bad been erected in the centre of
the half-mile race track within the park
gate, and at 2.40 o'clock, when Mr. Bryan
arrived at the grounds, two ana a nan
miles from Milwaukee, about five thou
sand t beoole were gathered about lit.
Many persona . oaa icit
m ' i j
when the rain
beean to fall and those
who remained
noistea umoteuas ana
decided to stick
it out. : - : ": -1
From the speaker s stand the scene
Dresented was a curious one.: with the
field covered with a sea of umbrellas and
parasols, which obstructed the view of
most of the spectators, only those near
the stand being . able to see and hear
with any satisfaction. The rain came
down with a distressing regularity when
Mr. Bryan drove into tbe enclosure and
many of the people sought cover, He
was ereeted with cheers. ,
The speaker's stand was ' crowded
with many Bryan supporters from Mil
waukee and elsewhere in Wisconsin.
Ex Governor Peck and Judge S'lver
thorn. Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, were among those who had prom
inent places. ',....:'.!.-.
Tbe rain became a steady downpour
as the meeting was called to order, and
mounted on a chair, with a local com
mitteeman holding an umbrella over his
head, Mr. Bryan adnressed the gather
ing. ! He said the Democrats knew not
only what: they wanted, but were going
to eet it. They had not only a policy
which they could proclaim, but one they
could defend. The were opposed to
the gold standard because it was baa,
because it bad rained the commerce of
tbe country. and bad been destructive
of the country's interests.
To a request by one of his listeners
for "something about' the old. soldier,1
Mr. Bryan said: "I am not afraid that
any man who risked his life ia the
nation's behalf is going to be influenced
bv the arguments that are addressed to
soldiers now by tbe financiers, who-dar
ing the war looked, out for themselves
and left tbe soldier to look out for him
self. Acplause 1 I am not afraid that
the men who were willing at that time
to endare the dangers of war because
tbey believed the black men should be
NO. m
free, are going; to join' the ranks of the
gold standard to enslave 70,000,000 of
people white and black." Applause.
' Te urge the necessity of every man
thinking for himself, and not to listen to
the advice of those who had selfish in
terests to protect, Mr. Brvan told the
following incident of his early career as
an attorney: "1 remember when I first
began to practice law a man came to me
one day and said, 'Will you take a little
case for me over before tbe justice?' and
1 said, 'Yes tie said.'l don't know
whether I need anybody or not. I was
over there the other day and my oppo
nent and his lawyer met me. and they
botb told me I would not need any
attorney.' But he said, I thought it i
would . be safer to see a lawyer, for
myself.' I went over with him, and
as soon as tbey . found the de
fendant had employed an attorney
they dismissed the case.' Laughter.
Thev bad no reasonable claim, but the
plaintiff and his attorney told the de
fendant thev could fix it up by them
selves and save some of the expense.
Whenever you find a man willing to
settle this question for you find out
whether he is on your side.";
i The gold standard. . Mr J Bryan de
clared, bad never fought a battle in the
open field and was not fighting it this
year. It would be contrary to all pre
cedents for advocates of the gold stand-
aid to say what thev meant. :
"The ones who have talked the most
about international bimetallism' do not
want it," continued tbe speaker. "It is
held out as a sort of bait, a bundle of
oats in front of a horse's nose to make
him pull. Laughter. When the Dem
ocratic Convention met the gold stand
ard advocates brought in a ' minority re
port. Thev did not declare for a gold
standard, but declared they were afraid
tbe free coinage of silver by this country
alone would P prevent international bi
metallism, towards which all the efforts
of the country should be directed. But
the majority ruled at Chicago. Then
what? Then, their leaders at Chicago
organized another convention. And
what did tbey do? Did they adopt a' plat
form thev tried to get adopted at Chi-'
cago? Oh.no! When they got down to
Indianapolis they threw off the mask
and declared in favor of the gold stand
ard. What does that mean ? It means
that the attempt at Chicago to commit !
the Democratic party to international
bimetallism was a fraud and a de
ception practiced upon the party.
Great applause. And the fact that
those men who tried to get that sort of a
platlorm at Chicago and tailed, went
down to Indianapolis and then adopted
a gold standard platform is a confession
that when thev acted at Chicago their
purpose was to deceive the American
people. Great applause. . We are wil
ling to fight the Republican party or
anybody who opposes our position and
will come out and so state, but when a
party, as at Indianapolis, puts up one
man for the .purpose of electing an
other we declare they are no more honest
in their desire for ', international
bimetallism than thev are in their
political methods. Great applause.
The convention at Indianapolis was
held in the interest of Republican suc
cess, and if they had the courage that
ought to follow conviction! hey would
endorse McKinley, for whom they ex
pect to vote. Great applause, Tbey
are attempting to get over into the Re
publican party by degrees. Applause.

You w.U have to excuse me. I believe
iq all the speaking I have ever done,
this is the only audience who stood out

Great applause and laughter

His Zaat Say of Satertalnment In the
United States. , '
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Washington, September 5. Rainy
weather has affected the programme for
Li Hung Chang's last day of entertain
ment in tbe United States quite as
much as the Viceroy's own comfort has
demolished arrangements from time to
time since his arrival in New York. A
trip to tbe top of the Washington monu
ment postponed from yesterday was the
first event cancelled this morning and a
trolley car journey of fifteen miles to de
posit a wreath at Washington's tomb at
Mount Vernon is perhaps! to be called
Off. f I; : -Ml :
Early in the forenoon Secretary Car
lisle and Treasurer Morgan, escorted the
Viceroy al party through tbe vaults,
showing him $150,000,000 in gold and
silver, which did not seem to impress
him; but when the bond issue division
was reached, he manifested great inter
est and plied bis guides with questions.
When a $50,000 bond was shown him.
he nudged ex Secretary i Foster . and
asked him if he had any like that.' In
the cash room Mr. Morgan presented
the Viceroy with a dollar bill of the
new issue, numbered "74," correspond
ing to his age, and this incident brought
out the fact tbat to-day; was Secretary
Carlisle's birthday and that he was 61
years old, which led Li Hupg Chang to
remark that he was a young man
Down in the redemption division tbe
Viceroy destroyed $70,000 in old green
backs with evident delight. Then Sec
retary Carlisle entered tbe carriage with
him and tbe party were driven to the
bureau of engraving and printing,; where
all the operations of money and stamp
making were viewed with the greatest
curiosity. - ;i !.-'-. .-;' : -'.J
Li Hung Chang s parting tribute to tbe
American people was given to the
Southern Associated Press this after
noon for dissemination. He said: "The
three foremost men in history have been
Napoleon, the Chinese mperor Yso.
and Washington. Napoleon created an
empire, which was speedily destroyed;
Yao "created an empire, and then pro
ceeded himself to rule over it; Washing
ton built a great natian. and then step
oed aside, leaving others to govern."
The Viceroy has been more deeply im
pressed with tbe life and character of
Washington than he had hitherto been
credited with. At the Capitol yester
day, when he reviewed the historical
paintings in the rotunda, he Studied
that ot Washington resigning his com
mission with greater attention than any
others, and to-day he caused extracts ot
the first President's farewell address to
translated to him. Subsequently, in re
soonse to a request for an interview re
garding bis impression of the capital,
he sent out the above tribute by one of
bis secretaries as embodying all he
would have said. . -
At o'clock -the journey to Niagara
Falls began. The train will not be
speeded through Pennsylvania to night
as there is no hurry, and it is desired.
not to disturb the Viceroy's sleep, which
he considers tbe panacea of alf ills, and
to what he attributes his hale old age,
Niagara Falls will be reached at 11.20
to-morrow morning, where the band
and such companies as can be spared
from Fort Porter will act as escort. The
American - park will be traversed and
views bad of the falls- from tbe Amer-
icanT' side - during ; the' afternoon and
Monday morning at 10 o'clock tbe river
will be crossed and soon after tbe party
will be on its. wav for Vancouver and
home. " j

After some explanatory remarks by

The committee retired and wAlle it
was out remarks were made byvfeveral
persons, after which the comottee re
ported the following preambtcand reso
lutions, which were adopted: V" r
Whereas. There appears to be a dis
position on the part ot certain friends of .
Judge Russell to injure Col. O. H. Dock- .
ery politically 'because he denounced T
Judge Russell at Wadesboro for bis at
tempt to disfranchise the negro; there
fore, - 4- . - " . ' ;
Resolved, That we, the Republicans of
the county of New Hanover, in mass
meeting assembled, do hereby denounce
and execrate the gubernatorial candi
dacy ot the Hon. D, Lj Russell for the '.
following reasons: ; t " j
1. A little anterior to 1888 be declared
that all negroes are natural born thieves.
and that they steal six 'days in a week
and go to church Sunday and pray it off,
2. In 1888 he bolted the State ticket
and said tbat the negroes were sav- ;
ages." ; : . i. : -J- ;
in mas ne wrote letters to the Ke- .
publicans of the North; suggesting tbat
a movement oe maae to aistrancnrse ine
entire negro race In this country. t
4. In 1892 be issued an address to the
Republicans of the State to withdraw
the Republican ticket, because Presi
dent Harrison bad put two negroes Into-
office; which address may have caused
Harrison s defeat in this State. ' !
5. In 1894 , he wrote another letter
against negro citizenship, and about the :
same time be said, in euect, tnat be
could carry North Carolina without a '
single negro vSte. I' '
6. On account of bis being ot avin-
dictive nature, it is extremely dangerous
to subm t tbe affairs of the State into
his hands, which act might be the cause
of a comparative innocent man dying an
untimely death. T .
Resolved ' further, vrhat we extend our
infinite gratitude to Col. O. H. Dockery
for speaking; a word in our , interest,
against the impatatloos qf Judge Russell.
Be tt further resotvea.m mat an at
tempts to show tbat a vote for Dockery
is necessarily a vote for Bryan, or a vote
for Russell is necessarily a vote for Mc
Kinley, or v ci versa, are sheer and pro
found foo1nhoess. tl
Resolved further. That a copy of thee
resolutions be forwarded to the Hon. O.
