i! is possible, under the present word

In Ihc i iiinpai-n liaml-book of the

Thompson .ind (Ynipany, one of the
chief eomplnints against the Denio

ilisthiittch: ed. (in Dace 1 appears this
d'.-ciar.it ion :
"I luring a period of twe nty years in
which that party swayi'd overwhelm

pa.-s"d u law nor made an effort to
disfram hise or take from the negro
the pow.-r of the ballot, whieh they
now declare tiny so mortally dread.
"In nearly every Southern State, ex
cept North Carolina, the negro is dis
franchise'.!, with the result that racial
antagonism panned be aroused, lie
cause of the absence of a basis on
wh!i to proceed. The Same power
that disfranchised the negro in these
Southern States has been wielded by
the Democratic paity in North Caro
lina for twenty ye;, is. and yet no ad
vantage whatever has ever been taken
of that power."
This is the complaint made by Hut
ler. Thompson and Aver in ltlS. As
the campaign progressed the one
1 meat demand of the people was that
the isoie should be settled for all lime
to conic; and ill answer to that e!"
inat'ol the Democrats generally prom

poi'latit, yen. vital question, and we
would like to s-e th" Democrat ie
h adi ;s and i.ew.-papi'is explain v. liy '
these' two sections we're not joined lo- :
g, the r when tin. ame-uiluu in was
framed. This wiil get at a very ini- j
portiint feature i f the matter and '.he ;
motives that actuated them to make
separate section;. WY do not bedievo
that iiny good and satisfactory reason
can be given for havirg two distinct;
sections, when one would have' re
moved all trouble. With only one. i
section, and in the event i'f the !
grandfather fe.nuiv being d.-e laiv.i nn- !
lonittitutiotiiil, th ui the educational j
qualification would akso have bei u d"- !
fcateil. and no white voter's- right
would be in danger. We call upon
.on i '-'11101-1 .i c :c 1 1 u o'liipoi ai u s nil an
explanation.
These section-, have- now been join,
cel. and. as the Caucasian says, na
white man's vote- is in elany.or.
And on October '' it said:
"Ail explaliat ie ti why set t ions foil,
and five of the an -, lidmeiH were not
i'liibodied into one section would e-er.
tainly be vi-iy interesting and tini'dy
now. It seems that no good reason,
e an be given why Muse s.ctkuis were
mad" separate and ili-tinct from each
other, and v. ; urge liie Democratic
pap.-rs to explain this phase of the
maiter."
Now let us iiiiiilvze 'hat promise
which tin' Caucasian on I lecieniber S
said the "Deuioei at ie midline" made
lo the people. The promise was that
' if they were put In power ihey would
eliminate the negro from politics.
Now. the wav to eliminate the negro
from polish's is to let down the bars
and invii" 'IVg-leg' Williams :(
conic and take1 the negroes out by tho
t ileitis. mils, or lo ilisfran, hise the ne
gro by constitutional ameudnieiit."
II. nil i'f ihc.-e promises have' b en kept
Ih.' first by the repeal of the law t li
ne ted in l.v.il by Ihe legislature, of
which Hull, r was a lending member,
imposing a tax of I.YIUiO on every nr.
gro emigrant agent. This was one i f
Ihe first laws re pealed by th Di nio
cratlc legislature of ISaa. Th" other
promise was fulfilled by the submis
sion of the Constitutional amend
ment. The Caucasian saiel there were
two ways of eliminating th.- negroes
from p 'i'ii's; the Democrats adopted
both.
