TDK MASK IS OKI' A little while ago the. North Carolina Populists were careful to pose before the public as belonging to an Independ ent party, not controlled nnd dominat ed by negroes and o'her Republican polit icians. Tin- mask Is now thrown off and tho Populist leaders are going over the State as emissaries of negro rule, open ly consorting witlu the Republican leaders. Ill Morgaiiton Senator Hut ler opened the campaign iu a speech before the Republican county conven tion, which was a revenue ring gather lug, plus tho mulatto child nnd oth.a negroes. Ho came down to Salisbury says the Truth-Index, in company with R. Z. Linney. whoso Rcpublii iiiiisin U nf the yellowest hue, and in Raleigh was In conference with revenue ollicer.s and other Republican pap-suckers. The Kepuldlciins foot tho bills fur the Republican and Populist cam paigns, and if the combine succeeds, the Republican party will be fully re spired to power. There Is no lunger any populist party, in fact, of tho oriyiiial furty-scven thousand Pop nlUts. at least ;i:..0urt huvo re turned to their old panics, and with the notorious sell out of the loaders la the negro party, there will not loft any except tin so who call themselves Pop ulists at Republican dictation because they can thereby do more to hurt the advocates of White Supremacy. The original Populists did not go into that party to bo used to pull th" chestnut out of the tiro fur their ba 1 l is or other "negro traders" in poli tics. Those hamest -ones, who, iu spile of past recreancy of leaders, hive stuck tu the party, are seeing now that the only pla.-e for a Southern white man in politics Is in the distinctively whiio man's party and there is only one such party in the South. They will vote in August to eliniiaate tho negro from politics, and then they will vino with tho bulk of the white men of the State fur Hryan in November. lClinii mite the negro vote, and Hryan's ma jority in North Carolina would exceed MO.OOO without a canvass. And yet ;hcre are those who pretend to favor Hryan and the reforms for which he stands, who are working hand in hand to keep the 120.000 negro antl-Hryan and anti-Democrat vote on the books to kill, tho vote of U'0,000 good white men.

That Chapter 'Jl.s, Public Laws of IWI, entitled 'An Act to amend the Consti- j tution of North Carolina', he amended so as to make said act I read as lollows: lliat Article Carolina be and the same is heivl.y abrogated, and in lieu there of shall he substituted the following Article of said Constitut tion, "AS AN ENTJKK AND INDlYJ.-jlBLH I'LAN'OFSl'F- CoMMKNi: It was believed before this change was made that the original act presented an entire and indivisible plan of sufl'rage.but these wot(lseapitalizi-(l above were added to relieve the doubts of some who feared that parts of the act might be separated from other parts, and that it might not stand or fall as a win ile. Skciinu: The second change is .1 consolidation of the 1th and oth Sections into one Section, now nuiiiberpil Section 4, which reads as follows: "Section 1. Every person presenting himself for registration shall be able to read and write any Sec tion in tiie Constitution in the English language, and before be shall lieentitled to vote he shall have paid, on or h-fore the first day of May of the year in which he proposes to vote, bis pull tax for the previous vear, AS l'KKSClM I'Kl) UV AUT1CLK .i, SEC TION 1, OETHE CONSTITUTION. liL'T no male pe von who was, on January 1, lMiT. or at any time prior thereto, entitled to vote undei the Laws of any State iu the L'ntted States where in be then lesided, and 110 lineal descendant of any such person shall be denied the right to register and vote at any election ia this State by reason of bis failure to possess the educational ..i.i;il..oi..,, 1,,, . ,...;i ,i.

Ciimmkm: ill The v.ords capitalized do not appear in the original Amendment but were inserted by the Legislature at its June session, ('ii It will be observed that the lib and oth Sections of the original dated into one Section I'nder w rite are entitled to vote, and if they cannot, read and write, but was allowed to vote to determine whether he should become a weie able lo vote on the lirst of January, IS1.7, or at any time voter, while liO.OOK of our best white men (every man who had prior thereto, or if they were not able to vote at that time but ; held an ollice, civil or military, under the Confederacy, was di3 are descended from persoi.?-fathi?r,gr.indfather.greatgraiidl'ather, '; franchised and not allowed to vote.) etc., who could vote on the firsl nf January, lsi',7, or any time ' This election lasted for three days. Every election oflicer prior thereto, I hey are entitled ho able to read and write Tiuiiii: The ."th Section in the act passed at the June ses sion, VMM, is a new one ami reads as follows: "Section ". That this amendment to the Constitution is presented and adopted as one indivisible plan for the regulation of the suffrage with tho intent and purpose to so connect the different parts and to make them so dependent upon each other that the w hole shall stand or fall together." Commkm: It was not thought, to be necessary to add this Section, but it was known that some people in the State had fears upon this question, and it was thought well to have an ex press declaration by the Legislature of its intent and that it should be' incorporated iu the Amendment so that t he people in voting lor it should declare their It w ill be observed that to K'M, ami to m;iko it impossible to stand without the other, the lust Sect ion that it shall be one frage. It has consolidated the added a new Section declaring or fall together. Foi niii: The changes relating to the poll tax are as fol lows: 1I1 The date of payment of the p,dl taxes was changed from March to May, and to make it clear was to be paid, the words, "his poll Li. as prescribed by law ", which appeared in the original act, were changed to read", "his poll tax for the j re vious year as prescribed by Article ", Section 1, of the Consti tution, hy turning to Article 1, Section 1, of thoConstitutioii, it will be seen that, only those persons w ho are between the ages of twenty-one and fifty, and who are not too poor or too inhrm to pay a po II lax, are required to pay this tax. In other words, if ;, man is too poor or too iulirin to pay a poll tax the ( ounty Commissioners may relieve him of payment ami he will not he required to pay any poll tax before being entitled to vote. It he is over fifty years of of age he will not he required to pay any poll tax before being permitted to vote. i'-i Ihe following words which appeared iu Section I of iieiioSiii,ii ,u', urn- Miinit'ii "Poll taxes shall be a lien only on assessed property, and no process shall issue lo enforce the collection oftlie same except against assessed property." This adds no new burden, but sim ply permits poll taxes to be collected as heretofore from all per sons required to pay them. Finn: The Amendment as passed at the June sisdon, HUM), provides that it shall go in effect on the 1st day of July, r.MrJ.if a majority of the votes cast in August shall be in favor of the Amendment. Sixth: The Amendment declared in express terms that the Legislature shall provide for theinakimr of a norm i mint i-ecunl of all persons who cannot read oilpvoou lSl,Vlll,i th;lt sllch I,,,Sllls registered SllALL r . fc, ' v ,,,1V; ,f t1' ,Kl,v, tI".

The Amendment as now presented is free from wv ..hi..,- tion that reasonable white men can or have urged against it. Tbejsole question now is: Do you want the ignorant negro to continue to vote, and by bis vote elect bad and corrupt men to othce? No native white man can say that under the Amendment iu any possible contingency he may lose his right to vote. New s Items. St. Joseph futility.

The statement being made by unprincipled demagogues, who hold ollice given them by negro votes, that the amendment will or may disfranchise uneducated white met; is a lie and they know it is a lie. WHITE MEN Are you going to let these negro lovers scare you into vot ing to keep the ballot in the hands of tho negro for their ben lit? The negro understands the game and is mum, but, if it suc ceeds, he will lanu'li you to scorn. Will you vote fur the negro or for your State'Iiace and family? '1 he States South of us have amended their Constitutions ho as to disfranchise the negro. Virginia North of us has called a convention for the same liuriose.

Put It On Soul Ii Iiy Force and All Infamous ICIectlon Law. The Ilepublican party put negro suffrage on us. In tho flection to decide this question , was a republican. Ihey were ! tian by Federal soldiers: and the ballots, when cast, were taken to South Carolina and counted by a Federal General. Yet when we right this great wiong against our race and civilization, the party that thrust the iiejjjre upon us as a voter by these infamous methods dares talk about violeuce, fraud, or unfair election laws. This party that disfranchised the brave men who fought at 1 Shiloh and Gettysburg, in order to enfranchise the negro, hypo critically professes solicitude for the old veterans and audacious ly charges that the sons comrades of these old heroes want to ' disfranchise them. In w hose interest are the lo publicans making this charge? In the interest of the old soldier or the negro? PPI1F AI FYANnFfi MP.'IVFR A I rur AUCMnMPNT lib n 111 j -,,.

My dear sir: 1 beg to say to you that I have carefully considered all that I have heard or read on both sides; and that I am convinced that it will be best for all, both white and colored, rich and poor, to adopt the proposed Amendment to t he Constitution of North Carolina. It will bring peace and harmony and good will to all classes of the people. It will maintain and perpetuate good government. It will promote good morals. It, will disfranchise no white man unless he wants to be , disfranchised. It will disfranchise no colored man any longer than he can learn to read at. d write and establish for himself a good charac- t,er. It. is a lawful and proper construction of the XV Amend ment, Laws '. S. 1 shall therefore vote for it and for Ayeoek for (iuvernor. Yours truly, June is, p.iiio. " Alexander Mclvor."
