Areat many men in North Carolina went off from the Dem ocratic party a few years ago and joined the Populists in the sincere belief that they were do- mp; the right thing. We do not refer to those who had in view the loaves and fishes, but the other and far larger element. composed of those who had re ally been brought to believe that 1 resident Cleveland was the ene my of the people and that Dublic ffarr ia h Sfcwto wer not . ing as they should. It is almost needless to say that they were mistakes in both i President Cleveland nver meant other than what was beat for all the people and time will vindi- cate him there is no trouble about that. As ior State mat ters, no government was ever more justly, benignly, economi cally or efficiently adminisrl than iu North Carolina bv thp Democratic party, and all men whose minds are open to reason can see by comparison now how immeasurably better it was than the government they have had since. Upon these two propositions hauo all the law and the proph etsby which we mean to say that upon these revealed truth8 rest the hope that the Democrat ic party will carry the State this year. No man can say with truth that McKinleyism is in any particular an improvement upon Clevelandism. The most that our people know of a President is through his appointments of Federal rfficeis, and it cannot bt contended that those of Mc- Kinloy's appointments are bet ter than those of Cleveland's. On the contrary, in the eastern part of this State can be counted up a troop of colored postmasters. while the collectorship of the most important port in the State that of Wilmington is held by a negro. If it were chosen to go into the matter of Federal legis lation it could be shown that na tional taxes are higher wnder the Republicans than they were un der the Democrats, and this with out reference to the war expenses We make no point upon these The war came and it has to be paid ior, and it would be unjust and unpatriotic to seek to make political capital out of it. But the taxes were increased before tbr was a war r a-ay project If an honest man cannot con tend that conditions bave im proved, so far as goverameat is concerned, under a national Re publican administration, how much less can he argue that they are better in the State under fu sion rule. The record of fusion is a record of broken promises, higher taxes, extravagance, scandal, corruption and ineffi ciency. These are not idle charges. There are facts to sus tain every one of them. The fusionists told the people that salaries and fees were too high and there were too many offices, and that if they were given pow er all these should be reduced. No salaries or fees have been re duced and the number of offices have been multiplied. Who de nies this ? The tax rate has been raised instead of being lowered, and in proof of this we cite the journals of the Legislature. An army of useless attendants is im ported into Raleigh from every part of the State at each session oi the Legislature, thus vastly increasing the expenses of that body and without any corres ponding benefit. In support ol this we again refer to the public records. Scandal? What could be more scandalous than the facts developed more than a year ao-o in regard to the relations ljetween the physician in charge of the criminal insane depart ment of the penitentiary at Ral eigh and female inmates of that department? Corruption uov ernor Russell has himself said that the administration of the penitentiary by John R. Smith was so corrupt and scandalous that he was compelled to remove Smith and put him into another 0fgce0ne in which he would be Bowerless for either good or evil rrt, loot fhrtre we made in the (foregoing tfliuninowu" - inefficietfey. It is trot ptcessary itotouctmorethAD one depart- pniimpration was o KKTKO8PK0TITB AND BY B1H1XDBB ment of government in order to establish this. There is no branch of administration that affects the people so nearlv in re lation to their rights of life, lib erty and property as the judicia ry, and we assert without fear of successful contradiction that at no time since the war and we do not forget the reconstruction pe riod of 18G8-'G9, either has North Carolina had as weak a lot of judges and solicitors as she has today; and if the Demo cratic judges and solicitors now in off ce are succeeded after Nov ember by the men whom the fu sionists have nominated ami will nominate for their place, the character of te public service will be lowerrd by just so much more. In this arraingment we have not thus far incladed the Gover nor, the Senator, the Treasurer and others, who. in the midst ol a vicious and malignant warfare were caught with free passes in their pockets. No more have we told of the promises to restore "local self-government" to the people by giving them the oppor tunity to vote for their magis trates and county commissioners, followed by the stripping of the magistrates of their right to sit with the commissioners in the levying of taxes and the trans action of the other of the highest of the county business, and leav ing them with no duties beyond the binding to court of men charged with offences. No more than the merest reference is need ed to the fact that no report of the operations of the ppnitentia ry has been made to the public since the retirement of Mr. Lea. zar, the last Democratic superin tendent. A report is long over due, and when, recently, a citizen addressed to the piesent super, intendent a respectful request for certain information, to which he was entitled, about this insti tution, his request was denied and he was assailed in an open letter, in the newspapers, with vile calumny, heaped upon hitn- self and his partv. It ought not i to be forgotten that fusion has iatute and took charge of the (rivpnnuR finvpmnr who keens'town. They elected four negro the executive office equipped, af ter the manner of a frontiersman, with a revolver and a shotgun and that a few weeks ago when a visitor called upon him to intro duce a stranger in Raleigh, the Governor of North Carolina fell' upon this visitor with abuse and epithets, opening a drawer in his desk and fingering a revolver the while. How members of the Stat BoMuttl of Agri&ulttzre pock et wsearaed mtRy by protract ing their sessions from day to da, charging tae State 7 per day for per diem and expenses when the business might be transacted in as many hours as days are charged for. has been told within the past two weeks by a member of that board who has just resigned from it in dis gust. Time would fail us to complete the record of incompetency, cor ruption and shame to parts of which we have made allusion in this article. Such other tacts re- ating to their government as the people are not informed upon, they will be put in posession of in due time, and we depend upon their virtue, intelligence and ap preciation of self interest to reg ister, in November, such a ver diet as the facts warrant. The people of North Carolina have not meant to go wrong; they have simply been mislead and mistaken. It is human to err, and through our own errors do we all often learn the highest wisdom. The appeal this year is to men of all parties and of no party to unite in the effort to bring to an end this reign of crime and scandal, and to put North Carolina again upon the ground on which they placed her in 187G and where they held her until 1894, when their evil ge nius got the ascendency of them and induced them to undo the good work which their own hands had wrought.

Raleigh, August 6, 1898. W. H. Bernard, Esq., Der r Sir:-r-In response to your request for an account of how the town of Greenville was turn ed over to the negroes by the Republican-Populist-Fusion Leg islature 1 submit the following statement of facts: The county of Pitt has a pop ulation of about thirty thousand people and is one of the finest agricultural counties in the Greenville, its capital town, has a population of aboat three thousand people and is a grow ing, prosperous town. A major ity of its voters are white men, and if the people were left to se lect their offcers by any fair or usual method they would be cer tain to choose competent white men. The town, however, is the home of one of the leading Republicans of the State, and being under ob ligations to the negroes he plan nedTo have it turned over to them. And here is the way it was done: The fusion Legislature of 1895, adopting his plan, di vided the town into four wards The boundaries of these ward were so turned and zigzagged as to put a majority of negro voters in the first and third wards, and a majority of the white voters in the Htcond and fourth wards. The first ward is shaped very much like a large broad-axe, with a very long handle and, the third ward is like the letter V. The next step in that devilish plan was to confer upon each of the wards having a majority of ne gro voters the right to elect two courcilmen each, and to restrict the white wards to one council man each. A the town election in May, ! 159 1 . the negroes availed them- I ss'l vi fi of t he power given them t.v t f e -Uepubiican- usion iegis- couv.cilmen while the white peo le c uU elect but two. Thus we had a Board composed of four negroes and two white men. This Board elected a white Re publican mayor, a white chief of police, a negro assistant police man for the day, a negro night noliceman for the night, and a negro clerk for the Board. Th? taxable property of the town is near three-quarters of a nulhxi ei dollars. Tb fcod of Councilman levy the taxes and order the expenditures. It may be interesting to know how those who levied and ppent the taxes ranked as taxpayers. One ofthe negro councilmen paid 84 cents as taxes on property, another C3 cents and the other two no thing. So the four negro coun cilmen, who controlled the Board paid 1.47 taxes on property for the suoport of the town. The it white Republican Mayor paid 43 cents on property and the white Republican Chief of Police did not do quite so well, he paid on ly 30 cents. The negro clerk paid nothing and the negro night watchman nothing. The negro assistant policeman paid $5.75 The nine men who control the town, levy its taxes and spend the money, paid all together $7.-7- aud leaving out the assistant negro day policeman, the other eight paid $2.20. The r( venues of the town from May, 1897 to May, 1898, was about $5,500 of which about $ 2,800 went to pay salaries and fees of office or place holders. The white Repub lican mayor and the white Re publican chief of police were both iudicted at September term,189 of Pitt Superior Court for gam blir.g. They confessed their guilt in open court at January term, 1898, and were re-elected to the same offices by the negro BommI of Councilmen in May 1 898. . The mayor has since re- sisued to enter the Internal Rev enue Service and a better man a Populist, has been elected in his place, but the town is still in the control of the negroes, as they again elected four negro councilmen at the town election this vear and these negro coun cilmen have in tarn elected the same number of negro officials with one exception. i 1 1. ere are numerous instances , in w hich towns have been divid oft rm into waftfs to eeS the I sr towns out of the hands of the ne groes, but this is the first in stance, of which 1 have any knowledge, where white men de- iberately divided up a town into wards for the purpose of turning it over to the negroes. For one to properly appreciate the real condition of things in Greenville it is necessary for him to go there and see for himself. But for the forbearance of the white people, trouble might have come long asro. They have fully determined to be patient and brbearing and to appeal, as they are now doing, to their white brethren throughout the State to send men to the next Legifelature who will undo this great wrong and wipe out that infamous act of 1893. Tnos. J. Jakvis. About one mouth ago my child, which is fifteen months old. had an attack of Diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. I gave it such remedies as are usually giv en in such oases, but as nothing gave it relief, we sent for a physician and it was under his care for a w?ek. At this time the child had been sick about ten days and was having about twenty-five opera tions of the bowels every twelve hours. and we were convinced that unless it ob tained relief it tould not live. Chamber lain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem edy was recommended, and I decided to try it. I soon noticed a change for the better; by its continued use a complete cure w as brought about and it is now perfectly healthy. C. L. Boggs, Stump- fcon, Gilmer Co., West Va, For sale by T. R.
