Fourth and Fifth Sections Will Stand or Fall Together. BRILLIANT LEGAL ARRAY AGREE That No Uneducated White Man Will Be Disfranchise.! Opinion of About 170 Lead ing North Carolina Lawyers. f The undersigned lawyers, members of the North CCarolina bar. after hav ing examined and considered the pro isions of the propped amendment to the constitution submitted by the legislature of lf33 to the people for ratification, give il as our opinion that the said amendment is not in eon Met cither with the State, or the Federal Constitution. V further give it as our opinion that the 4th and full Sections of slid amendment are io connected in sub ject matter, each so learly dependent and conditioned upon the other, that both must stand or fall together, and that it is too clear to admit of a doubt that the 4th Section cannot stand If tho 5th Section should be declared un constitutional. It la clear this amendment, if rati fied, will not disfranchise, either now or hereafter, any pcr-on who was himself entitled to vote at any time prior to li7 or whose iuuetitor was entitled to vote at any time prior to 18C7, either in this Plate or any State In the t'nited States in which he then resided, provided he registers once be fore 1 90S. and does not thereafter become- disqualified by crime.

The statement has been made and Often repeated, th.it the Democratic party tn the last campaign promised fiOt n disfranchise, or in any way pritise the right of IS negm to vo. Pray, to wlKom did the Democrat.? parly make .such, a promise.' It cer tainly did not make R to tho negro, because It did not ask for th? negro votes. (In the contrary, it defied the negro vote. It said to the nero: We do not. cxpeit your vote; we propoan to beat you with the voto.4 of WHITE M1CN." It aid to him: 'This is a white man's country, and white me:i must and shall rule It.- Itsnld to him: "We propose to put an end to neri oWce-holding in North C.tio)ii:a now and forever." And up, u every stump, from the mountains to the seashoie, it demand-d and promised WHlTli SFPRKMACV. I'mler these cireuni. stances, what sense would th:re have been in making this or any other promise to the ngro? What consid eration could it have expected to re eeive for Mich n promise, and wha pas-ible inducement was thereto maki It? A bare st.itnient of tho f iefs show, that the statement that such ,i p:oir,l-i was made by the party is hjta mitrm and absurd. Whatever promises the Democrat i party made in the last campaign upon the Mihjcct of suffrage generally, ot upon any other .'object, WKRI3 MADE TO W1I1TK MEN AND NOT TO THf? NKCRO. And what white man in all North Carolina v. ho voted the Democratic ticket in tlie last election lias siid ci will say to that parry: "I voted tin: I'l .uoi r.itic ticket, becau e yon pr mi-i-c.l n.it to limit or abridge the si'f frage (,f tlie negro, I demand, thei". lore, that you keep this promise." In the name of the ivhi'o men ol North Carolina, we prote.-t wuh tiijls liation against the intimati ;n ;;,t .m white man in the last election vol-il foe IVmn r.iti ' ticket hoia-.ise of a:iy promise made in behalf of nesrj sut frage. In the last e.tnipalgn the lVmocvatiu party did promise the white peoiib. of N'.nth Carolina th:it no white man sho-ild be disfranchised for lack or ed mat inn or on o. -fount of his perly. and it premised ti n WI1ITI3 WOMHN i.s well a.s the WlilTK MEN of Nonh I'ariliiia that if it should come into power It would I'ICRMA NKNTLY Kij-' TA1IL1SII WIUTi: sri'REMACY hiiH:gi-)!it the Stnie.

BUTLER'S RIVAL, ChairmaR Hot ton a Candidate fur First Hon ors in the Class of "Artful Dodgers." Sppclal Raleigh Correspondence, Republican State Chairman Holloa must desire to reveal I'opulist State Chairman Hutler as an "artful dodger." Of course Hutler and Holton play with each other's hands. When State Chair man Simmons challenged Holton tor a Joint canvafH of candidates, Holton notified Butler to also challenge him. This was done. Then Holton declined both. He dodged the issue, as was to have been expected, and made all .sorts of statements abut his lelte.-. which ho submitted to a number ,f the Republican.-, including i.f i our.-e.Ki ve nue Collect ar Duncan, and no doubt he showed It to some Populists a!s', includinc Hr.

It is the current cominciu that if the Republicans se any pro-ipee'y for suc cess tliey will begin to juggle with the Populists; that is make changes of the Stute tickets. It is the furtner com ment thut if such changes are made It will lie Spencer H. Ad.ims and not by Thompson, who will be taken down as governor. The Republicans huve at least 1,000 njen "bushvvhucking" in this State. The revenue deputies are devoting themselves to It and an old-tinier re marked this week that moonshiners are having a piei.ic.

These are the people whose minds the Republican ftnd I'opulist bush-whackers a''e seek ing to poison These fusion members do not say anything to the rival white voters about tljo tact that, it is toe negroes wrom the franchise amend ment will disfranchise. No, they tell (heir hearer that they are to be dis franchised. The Democrat!) need only to talk to the people thus ' bush whacked" and to tell them face to race, tho facts In the case.
