Campaign Buttons, . J
The Star has been introducing, free

White Government Union in this part
of the State for three weeks past; but
the demand on us has become so gen
eral that we have turned the whole
matter over to Messrs, C. W. Yates Sc
CO., of- this city, to whom all orders
and inquiries should be addressed.
They will supply the buttons in any
quantity desired at a small fraction
over actual cost. The Stab is content
with the honor of having ordered the
first of these buttons seen or worn in
North Carolina, and of having distri
buted many samples. Messrs. C. W.
Yates & Co. ordered one thousand
buttons last night, and will probably
receive them by Thursday next.

The Populists are beginning Ao see
their great mistake and are setting

vehement in their advocacy will
take little interest in the election.

groes are asserting that right To pre
vent this it is necessary for the white
men of the State, who believe in white
supremacy, to come together, stand to
gether and work together, that white su
premacy may be restored and the State
saved from negro domination. As a
means to this end the White Govern

The purpose of the organization shall
be to re establish in North Carolina
the supremacy of the white race; to
promote individual effort in behalf of

The Chairman of the State Com

each county and organize one or more
Unions, and leave with the County
Chairmahihe necessary blanks, Con

the work, and to fully organize his
county during the month of August.
If it shall do decided to organize
sub-Unions in any township, they shall
be numbered and known as Sub
Unions, according to their numerical
number.
The Union will be working bodies,
not dress parade organizations. Im
portant work will be assigned to each
member. ' .
This work will be such as he can
perform without loss of time from his

as he can do, and no work will be as

objects, and no work will be assigned
to any, member which is not honora

The Democratic party will appeal to
the honor, character and highest aspi

any except honorable methods
of campaigning.
The State Committee believes that a
man can render the party better ser

propriety of joining is left to each
person.

that their party has no future save

Star for publication:
An Explanation.
"Whereas, The resolutions passed
by the Ministerial Union, expressing
sympathy for the Daily Record are be
ing misinterpreted, and the spirit and
intent of said resolutions are subject to
extreme hostile construction, we deem
it our duty to declare our position. 1.
We stand fdr peace, justice and right
eousness. 2. We earnestly desire coun
sel and labor for amicable relations
between the races. 3. We deplore
whatever is intended, or has a ten
dency, to produce friction, and bring
about hostility.- 4. We have such a
regard for virtue and, true woman
hood that we do denounce and re
pudiate auy and all utterances which
assail virtue and assault the pure
womanhood of any race. As a busi
ness enterprise, we endorsed the Rec
ord. We did not, and do not, en
dorse any attack on the integrity and
fair name of noble womanhood.
"The Resolution.
"Resolved, That the Ministerial
Union is in hearty sympathy with the
efforts of theDaily Record in defend?
ing the rights of the race, and that
each minister inform his congregation
of the present situation, and endeavor
to sustain the paper by swelling its
subscription list and urging prompt
payment. The word sympathy in the
resolutions meant, that as the life of
the paper as a medium Of communica
tion for the race was threatened, we
desired to see it live, hence the resolutions.
"Yours for truth, peace and purity.
"Ministerial Union."
The negro preachers composing the
"Ministerial Union" doubtless chuckled
over their performance when the in
cubation of their' "explanation" was
completed. But it is an "explanation"
that does not explain. It is a dodge so
transparent that the most obtuse mind
can see through it.
It should be noted that tbe original
resolution which the .negro preachers,
now try to "explain" appeared in
the Star of last Thursday, and
that the Star asked them, sub
stantially, to state whether the
resolution was adopted before or after
the beastly editorial was printed in
the Record. But they dodge this in
quiry absolutely, which proves con
clusively that tbe resolution was
adopted after they had seen and read
that editorial. So, when they came
to the rescue of the negro organ, they
were in "hearty sympathy" with it,
notwithstanding its infamous attack
on the virtue of white women; they
were in favor of "swelling its sub
scription list" and of "urging prompt
payment;' they wished to see it "sus
tained ;" they uttered no word of con
demnation then for its "attack on the
integrity and fair name of woman
hood." And even now they simply
indulge in "glittering generalities"
and fail to specifically "denounce and
repudiate" the particular article which
has outraged the decency of the en
tire State.
"As a business enterprise," say the
negro preachers, "we indorsed the
Record" Yes, you wish it success,
increased success, notwithstanding its
outrageous course. If you were honest
and sincere, why did you notsay some
thing like this: "We denounce and
repudiate the utterances of the Record
in its assault on the virtue of the
white women of North Carolina in its
inst.
newspaper
ton. It is
per, being
negroes.
No elaborate editorial comment
pn the infamous article of the
negro paper is necessary. Its out
rageous, mendacious attack on
white women is so plain and direct
that every decent 1 white man-who
reads it will make his own com
ment, and that comment will not
be phrased in honeyed words.
Read the following, white men of
North Carolina, and see one of the
effects of Russellism and Butlerism
in your State. The Record says:
"We suggest that the whites
guard their women more closely,
as Mrs. Felton says, thus giv
ing no opportunity for the
human fiend, be he white or black.
You leave y oar goods oat of doors and then
complain because tbey are taken away.
Poor white men are careless in the
matter of protecting their women,
especially on farms. They are care
less of their conduct toward them
and oar experience among poor white
people in tbe country teaches us that the
women of that race are not any more par
ticular in the matter of clandestine meet
ings with colored men, than are the
white men with colored women. Meet
ings of this kind go on for some time
until the woman's infatuation or the man's
boldness, bring attention to them and the
man is lynched for rape. Every negro
lynched is called a 'big, burly, black
brute,' when in fact many of those who
have thus been dealt with had white men
for their fathers, and were not only not
'black' and 'burly' bat were sufficiently
attractive for white girls of culture and
refinement to fall in love with them as
is well known to all."
