BUTLER IS THE DADDY
OF lIDEPEIDEKTISM
Pritchard Insisted That Indepmdents Should
at Once Call Themselves Republicans.
THAT WONT DO, SAID BUTLER
An Eastern Democrat Must go Through Fire and
Hell Before he is Willing to be Called a
Republican. Pritchard Came to
Butler’s Plan, But the Daddy
Thinks he Came too Late.
Ex-Senator Marion Butler is the originator of the
plan of campaign Senator Pritchard is running in
North Carolina this year, so he claims. It seems
that he tried to get Pritchard to inaugurate it
earlier, but Pritchard postponed it until Butler be
came “disgusted.” The following is a portion of a
letter written a few days ago by ex=Senator Butler to
a prominent Pubnigen candidate for the Legislature
in North Carolina:
“On the ist of January 1 spent over half the day
with Pritchard begging him to epcourage the Inde
pendent movement and to assure every man who was
known to want to break from the Democratic party
that if they would call a State Convention that both
the Republican and Populist parties would stand in
the background and back them up. For some time
he agreed with me that this was the best thing to do,
but at last jumped the game and refused to do it.
There was a hope of carrying the State if he had done
this. The Independent movement was ripening all
over the State, and instead of encouraging it he has
driven back 9 voters out of 10 who were willing to
leave the Democratic party, especially in the east. An
eastern Democrat has to go through fire and hell be
fore he is willing to be called a Republican. There
are thousands of them who want to leave the Demo
cratic party, but they want to leave by easy stages.
They would like first to be called Independent Demo
crats, and next Independents, and next anything to
beat the Democrats, but last of all would they be
called Republicans. Pritchard lives too far from the
east, to be able to comprehend this situation. He
could have been re-elected, in my opinion, this year,
and the Simmons machine whipped if he had agreed
to follow’ this course.
“But the Independent movement has been so well
rooted that while it has been discouraged and retard
ed terribly in this campaign when it would have
flowered and blossomed under proper encouragement
that it may take one or tw o more campaigns for it to
grow sufficent for it to carry the State.
“As soon as I found that Pritchard and his com
mittee would not agree to the only sensible course
that w ould give a chance of victory, I w as so disgust
ed that I decided not to make a single speech and to
give my whole time to business.
“I find, however, in todays mail, not only the let
ter from you, but from so many other points in the
State requesting me to make some speeches and hold
ing out hope of possible victory, that I am inclined to
do every thing in my power to drop all the business
engagements I possibly can and get in 10 or 15
speeches if possible, towards the close of the cam
paign.”

IT TIES OUR HANDS
Principle Ennunciated in the
Samoan Case.
We Will pay the Damages Assessed but Re
fuse to Accept the Principle as a
PrecMien*,
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, Oct. 22.—An intimation
has been received here that King Oscar,
of Sweden, who is acting as the arbitra
tor of the issues between the United
States, Germany arid Great Britain, grow
ing out of the Samoan rebellion o f 189 b.
will decide that the facts presented to
him in the briefs of counsel,'which have
been pending for nearly a year, warrant
him in proceeding to assess the damages
sustained by foreign residents of Samoa
as a result of the landing of a combined
foree of American and British sailors
tend marines, and the destruction of
property incident to the ensuing fight
with the rebels. By the terms of the
treaty, under which the three powers
agreed to submit these claims to arbi
tration. the arbitrator was first to de
clare whether or not the Americans and
British were at till liable for damages,
and if so, then he was to determine the
amount of that liability. He has, it is
understood, concluded to decide the first
question in the affirmation. The next
step is to fix the amount of the damages,
and this must be done by King Oscar
upon the basis of the facts now to be
presented by the representatives of the
governments concerned. The German
claims are far larger than the others,
amounting to $103,918, while the Ameri
can claims are *77,605, and the British
only ?6.255.
It is not the amount of money involved
in this approaching decision of the arbi
trator that concerns the Government of
the United States, but rather the enun
ciation of a principle which, if accepted
as a precedent, would be most unpalata
ble, and would so seriously restrict the
assertion of American rights in foreign
countries in case of revolution or rioting
jeopardizing the lives and property of
our citizens, that it would amount to (he
total withdrawal of protection. This can
never be admitted, and so it may be
positively stated, that while the United
Slates Government will accept the arbi
tration loyally and pay any damages as
sessed against it, it will utterly refuse
to be bound by such a principle or t o
recognize it as establishing a precedent.
Otherwise the United States Government
would be held liable for enormous dam
ages in cases where it lands troops upon
the Isthmus of Panama resulting in a
collision with rioters or rebels, even
though the government is solemnly
bound by treaty to preserve free traffic
across the Isthmus. The United States
could not land marines in any of the
West Indian or Central and South
American ports in any emergency without
risking liability for heavy damages.
These considerations will lead to the
declination to recognize the decision as
a precedent, and incidentally, to the sub
mission of the next similar case to The
Hague tribunal in the hope of another
and different decision.

Copenhagen, Oct. 22.—The Landsthing

bill providing for the ratification of the
treaty between Denmark and the United
States in regard to the cession of the
Danish West Indies to the latter country.
Tne vot > stood 32 to 32, a tic. The an
nouncement caused the greatest excite

the part of the spectators.
The predominant sentiment throughout
Denmark is undoubtedly prosale and the
rejection of the treaty is attributed
chiefly to a domestic political effort to
embarrass the government and bring
about the resignation of the ministry.

j Greensboro, N. Oct. 22. —Jas. J.
Hankins is manager of a laundry at
Salisbury. Hi:; wife left him last March,
charging extreme cruelty. Two months
ago she came here and secured a posi
tion with Dicks steam laundry, boarding
lon Gorrell street. Sunday night she
' alleged Hankins came here and fhreaten
! ed to kill her, but she hid from him.
i Yesterday afternoon he came down again
i and after telling her he would kill her.
i so she avers, she went to the residence

ager of Dick's laundry, to spend the
j night and get protection. Hankins came
,to the house about ten o'clock last
i niirht. After being warned by Mr. Mil

; secured a “search warrant" for his wife
! and Constable Dave Scott accompanied
the whole crowd to see Justice Wolfe.
After hearing ali sides he told the officer
to take the woman back where he found
her, saying that any further proceedings
I would be had today. But Hankins kept
j hanging around Miller's house and about
j four o’clock this morning Mr. Miller saw

; but there was too much shooting to
venture out in the street —besides the
shooting was over before any of the
neighbors got out of bed, though they
had been kept awake most of the night
by the quarrelling. Then making his
way to the room where were Mrs- Han
kins and Mrs. Miller, he grabbed his
wife and dragged her screaming out into
the street.
At this juncture Mr. Miller returned
and rushed toward them, but just before
he reached them Hankins, holding the
woman by one hand, shot squarely at
her head, but she dodged and the bullet
sped by. Mr. Miller then shot at Han
kins and thinks he hit him. though he
ran. shaking his head. Officers Jordan
and Patterson showed up almost at the

several shots. Miller says he fired five
time in all- but Hankins kept on run

Search was made for him until after day
light. but he was not found.
This is one of the most high-handed
outrages ever committed here. Hankins

SENT CARRIAGES FOR NEGROES
Pritchard Loved Them so in 1897 that He
Treated Them With
DISTINGUISHED CONSIDERATION
It was Only After Their Votes, Which put Him in
Office, Couldn’t Keep Him in,That He Kicked
out of the Convention the Negroes
He had Sent Carriages
for in 1897.
The Democrats do not ask and have
never asked for the votes of negroes.
They disfranchised as many of jhem as
they could legally and constitutionally
disfranchise. But they have always treat
ed the negro with kindness and fair
ness and they will continue to do so.
solely because the party is great enough
to do right.
The action of Senator Pritchard to
ward the negro in this campaign has been
such as 1o make him forfeit the good
opinion of fair-minded men. The worst
sin in life is the sin of ingratitude. Sen
ator Pritchard owes bis political elevation
and prominence to the negro vote which
he obtained by promise of political ele
vation of the negro, which promises ho
kept by putting 1,000 negroes in office. Is
it any wonder that self-respecting ne
groes should feel indignant at such in
gratitude as Pritchard now shows—now
(hat he is appealing to white votes and
the negro has been disfranchised?
Scotland Harris, (col.), who was elect
id a delegate to the Republican State con
vention, was a member of the Legisla
ture of 1*1)7 that elected Pritchard Sena
tor. Ho was the recipient of great at
tention by Pritchard then. At tin* Re
publican State convention he was "bowd
aeiortsly" > kicked out by Pritchard's or
ders. Ho has written a letter in which
ho makes a severe indictment of Pritch
ard. He says:
“Just five years ago I was a member
of the Legislature of North Carolina
from the historic county of Halifax.
“And one night as I was sleep at the
hotel with the rest of the colored mem
bers I was suddenly awaked by a mes
senger from Senator Pritchard urging
me to arouse the other negro members
from sleep and to come at once, to his
room at the Park Hotel—and that 110
had carriages at the door for us to
take us to said hotel. I got the boys
up in less time than it takes me to tell
it.
And>in a few minutes we were in closed
carriages rolling to our political doom.
When w c got there we found Senator
Pritehard crestfallen & dejected—and
with a voice choked with tremulous
fears, he told the sad story, ‘That some
of the white Republicans, (these lily
whites), were conspiring with the com
mon anoßiy to defeat him —But at no
time had he doubted the loyalty of the
colored members—but he desired that
vc would sign a card, pledging him our
support that these 'lily white fighters’
might see that uselessncjss of their oppo
sition.’
“This is an instance that this .!. (’.
Pritchard used the loyalty of the negro
to whip his lily whites in line.
“He further stated. 'That h* could not
be elected without our votes.' and as a.
consequence of his inability—he made
promises & pledges to us as no man in
N. C. ever made to his constituents.
“And as a matter of fact not one of
which Isas ever been fulfilled unless
it. was when I was elected a delegate
to the Greensboro Convention by the
unanimous soncent of the Rep. convention
of Halifax eo.—That T was with the rest
of the Colored delegates unceremoniously
kicked out of ihat so called Rp. Conven
tion, and threatened with r?ob violence if
we took seat in that said ' convention,
even as spectators. The doors being
guarded to prevent our entrance —thus
this convention of political mountebanks,
and the rejected of all political parties—
lifted the roof off the Citv Hall when the
Chairman —said. 'That he thanked God
that the rep. party had been delivered
from the body of the dead.' If we were
so dead, why did Sena tot Pritchard
send closed carriages for those eleven
dead bodies at the hour of midnight
during the Legislature of 'J>7? Yes. he
wished to crawl over those dead bodies
in the r. S. Senate, and when he had
ore vailed, upon us, to throw ourselves
down for him to walk into official hon
ors. entirely beyond his fitness. — no
sooner had his foot cleared our (should
ers, —he wiped his foot on us and
slammed the door of the party in our
face.
“And again this political viper who was
warmed in die bosoms of negro voters,
crawls out his sick Lm «1 i<. cringing his
way in Alabama, that his poisonous
fang might pierce the political heart
of tin* negro there ns had already been
communicated in North Carolina.
“Not content with the work at home,
he is reaching his internal talons into
oth’*r realms, declaring that the negro
must be dehumanized and treated as a
political renegade, and hut out from
nil the councils of the patty to which
he has clung with uncompromising fidel
ity and unswerving devotion since the
dawn of Din semblance of freedom. No
one man in all th«* hi lory of Ameri
can politics has created nttndj sea'i
imrut and misgivings amoug the negroes.

“And what is more astounding about it
is, that it was not only the. eleven negro
1 votes in the Legislature that made his
; election sure—but the negro cast 3-4 of
j all the votes that elected a majority
to that Legislature of '97.
“And for these political elevations by
the negro—he smites the hand that gives
him bread.
“And by his every act nnd purpose de
' dares the 1 the negro shall never enter
the councils; or conventions of the Re
publican party or enjoy the emoluments
of office so long as he enn have the ear
of the administration as h* did at Oys
ter Bay just before the State convention,
and as he did on it Southern trip
through Wogtern North Carolina.
“But after Senator Pritchard has met.
one of the most overwhelming defeats
on record, November 4 th. he may
apply to th •» administration for
that substantial aei and patronage
fer his fight fn North Carolina & tho
South against the negro,
“But let him bear in mind, that if any
! such claim is honored by tIW adminis
tration it will be done over the protest
of 2 millions negro voters of this coun
try. and as to where the administration
stands on this 'Lily White’ move in the
; South will no longer be a question. For
on this one man the eyes of ‘be world are
fixed.
“A hint to the wise is sufficient."
