BRILLIANT LEGAL ARRAY AGREE That No Uneducated White Man Will Be Disfranchised Opinion of About 170 Lead ing North Carolina Lawyers. The undersigned lawyers, members of the North CCarolina bar, after hav ing examined and considered the pro visions of the proposed amendment to the constitution submitted by the legislature of 1S99 to the people for ratification, give it as our opinion that the said amendment is not in conflict either with the State, or the Federal Constitution. We further give it as our opinion that the 4th and 5th Sections or said amendment are so connected in sub ject matter, each so clearly 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 the zth. Section should be declared un constitutional. It is clear this amendment, if rati fied, will not disfranchise, either now or hereafter, any person who was himself entitled to vote at any time prior to 1867 or whose ancestor was entitled to vote at any time prior to 1S67, either in this State or any State in the United States in which he then resided, provided he registers once be fore 1908, and does not thereafter be come disqualified by crime.

The statement has been made and often repeated, that the Democratic party in the last campaign promised not to disfranchise, or in any way abridge the right of the negro to vote. Pray, to whom did the Democratic party make euch a promise? It cer tainly did not make it to the negro, because it did not Tc for the negro votes. On. the contrary, it defied the negro vote. It said to the negro: " We do not expect your vote; we propose to beat you with the vote3 of WHITE MEN." It said to him: "Thi3 is a white man's country, and white men must and shall rule it." It said1 to him: "We propose to iput an end to negrj office-faolding in- North Carolina now and forever." And upen every stump, from the mountains to the seashore. It demanded and promised WHITE II. sTaS tndef the been in l- WOuld there Ye Deen in making this or any other promise to the negro? What consid- cerfve?orOUld.lt have STit it? i l Inducement waa there to make that !h 2J,ttatme?tvf the ticts o was Lnt that such A Pise " XSd-1 the party is untre amZfi" PrTlseS the Democratic party made in the last campaign upon the subject of suffrage generally lv TO0WHTTerl;SlbjeCt' WERE MADE negS) and not to THB ' And what white man in all North will say to that party: i Voted ,he Democratic ticket, because you prom- Slf i limit or abridKe the suf- the neSro- 1 demand, there fore, that you keep this promlce." x v Dame of tne wnite men of North Carolina, we protest wnh indig nation against the intimation that any white man in the last election votd the Democratic ticket because of any promise made in behalf of negro suf frage. In the lalTeanipaign the Democratic Party did promise the white peoole of North Carolina that no white" man should be disfranchised for lack of ed ucation or on account of his povertv and it promised the WHITE WOMEN as well as the WHITE MEN of North Carolina that if it should come into power it would PERMANENTLY ES TABLISH WHITE SUPREMACY throughout the State. It was upon the faith of THESE DOPBLE PROMISES that we won the great and glorious victory of November 8th. In the Constitutional amendment which that" party has submitted to the people it has faithfully KEPT THESE PROMISES NOT ONE OF THEM BITT BOTH OF THEM. The position' of the Democratic party upon this subject is not the result of any conven?'cn 'dtcvrAtions or ante election agitation any more than the present attitude of the United States toward Cuba. is 4he result o a pre-con-ceived plan to turn out Spain and ap propriate that fair island to ourselves; but it is the inevitable evolution of the situation. There is not a sensible man in the State, of any party or race, who docs not know that the manifestations and developments of the last days of the campaign forced' upon the minds and consciences of the responsible ele ments of our people the conviction that the good order of society, and the peace and safety of tho State, demand ed the elimination of the ignorant and vicious negro vote.and rhat the amend ment, is in response to thi3 feeling which has become deep rooted in the hearts as well as in the minds of the people. BUTLER'S RIVAL, Chairman Holton a Candidate for First Bon ers in the Class of "Artful Dodders." Special Raleigh Correspondence. Republican State Chairman Holton must desire to reveal Populist State Chairman Butler as an "artful dodger." Of course Butler and Holton play with each other's hands. When State Chair man Simmons challenged Holton tor a joint canvass 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 letter, which he submitted to a number of the Republican?, Including cf course.Reve nue Collector Duncan, and no doubt he showed it to some Populists also. Including Dr. Cyras Thompson, nomi nee for governor, with whom he had a conference. It is the current comment that if the Republican see any prospects for suc cess they will begin to juggle with the Populists; that is make changes of the State tickets. It is the furtner com ment that if such changes are made it will be Spencer B. Adams and not by Thompson, who will be taken down as governor. The Republicans have at least 1,000 men "bushwhacking" in this State. The revenue deputies are devoting themselves to it and an old-ttmer re marked this week that moonshiners are having a picnic. It is no wonder that moonshining increases and that there are plenty of illicit distilleries run in Wake county. The Democrats will have to "fight the devil with fire." They may as well get to work on the individual rural voters (whites.) These are the people whose minds the Republican and Populist bush-whackers are seek ing to poison. These fusion members do not say anything to the rural white voters about the fact that it is the negroes wrom the franchise amend ment will disfranchise. No, they tell their hearers that they are to be dis franchised. The Democrats need only to talk to the people thus "bush whacked" and to tell them face to face, the facts in the case. There are now four State tickeis in the field, since the Prohibitionists have nominated one, with Henry Sheets, of Lexington, as Their candidate for gov ernor. The supreme court has decided the last of what were known as the State cases that Involving the salary ot Theophilus White, Chief Shellfish, commissioner. The inaquity of the court, the three Republican justices, order the State Auditor and Treasurer to do exactly what the Democratic legislature said was not to be done. The court has thus gone a bowshot further than ever before in the matter of nullification of Democratic legisla tion. Bl3ck and White Affa'r. BLACK AND WHITE AFFAIR. Clinton correspondent of the Raleigh Morning Post. It was a surprise; no one knew of it until the "dilegates" arrived on th3 evening of the 15th. They stopped at the Clinton Hotel the white ones did. The colored brother was abundant, but the Lord only knows what hotel en gaged his patronage. They caucussed the evening of the 15th, remained in session nearly all night and began again eari7 PU the morning of the 16th, until about noon, when tiey strolled off in pairs, genea'ly a negro "dilegate" taking the arm of his wh.te revenue bung-smeller or the festive postmaster nearly all United States ofllce-holders to the negro Odd Fel FellowB' Hall. Here the colored patriot front Crav en county, the Hon. Mr. Bfydn (color ed black) called the" bung-smeilers and postmasters ahd negroes to order by the dignified title of " 'Publican dele gates'' to this "convention" ahd select ed the Hon. W. R.shford, of Samp son county, secretary, who was so black "" that ink would make a white mark on .his face. Thus organized, they proceeded to busrness,nominaxing R. S. White, cf Bladen county, a white man in name as well as face, for elec tor for the Third district; Sam King, also white, of Bladen county, "dile gate" to the National Republican Con vention at Philadelphia. He i3 post master at Eliiabethtown And was a member of the fuslan Legislature of 1895 from Bladen in the House. They then instructed the black chair man to appoint an executive commit tee of nine with power to name a Con gressional candidate later on in- the in the year; and without aay speaking adjourned sine die. Then Railroad Hancock, of Craven county lately pardoned from the army court court martial's sentence had a fight on the front porch of the Clinton Hotel. It wa3 rum-orel that David B. was a candidate for electioa and was defeated, and your corres pondent supposes this fact caused the fight, as ihe was" the aggressor. No serious damage was done and after a short interview with Mayo-r Chestnut both men departed, cne going east and the other west W. J. Sutton, lately treasurer of the North Carolina Rail road, but now holding down the posi tion cf deputy marshal, was expected, but did not arrive. Postmaster McCaskin. cf Fayette ville, was the dude of the convention and put on more style than any "dile gate" arriving early, driving a well fed team, a black and a bay, a top bug gy, etc., and rumor has it, left in dis gust because he did not receive the honor of presiding as chairman. Martin Williams and Surrel Ses soms, white, and three dusky sons of Ham represented Sampson la the con vention. One delegate from Bliden said his county already had White su premacy in the Republican.' party of Bladen county, ther having informed the negroes that they could vote, but the white men of the party should bold the offices and take the honors. Several white delegates said they would not again atteEd a -convention if it was to be presided over by a negro. Another Promlneat Repnb.'icai For It Editor News: Yes, after mature deliberation I hall support the Consti tutional amendment It is the only way yet disclosed to me far the l.st thirty-two years of my obserzation as a Republican to put at rest the vexed "negro question," and relieve North Carolina of demagogical and machine politics of unscrupulous partisans, and put iher in line of the best prosperity and happiness. Its accomplishing these two events would be a blessing to both the black and white races alike, AND IT SHOULD NOT BE MADE A PARTY ISSUE.and I have so regarded It. I regret to differ in this respect with some good men for whom I have the highest respect, but this question is paramount, kept hanging, as it has been for years, as a night mare and a burden upon the bedy po litic WITHOUT SOLUTION, a feast for the demagogue and partisan and as well seriously affecting the peace and happiness of our whole people and in directly the industrial and material advancement cf our State. Its ratifica tion would be the beginning of a new era in North Carolina, freighted with so many, good things for all classes of our people the "negro question." set tled, the demagogue out cf a job, polit ical principles discussed on their mer its, education, morality and Christian ity reinvigorated and peace and hap piness assured and abounding In ev ery home, however affluent or humble. I have spent thirty-two years of my best life in defence of the "colored man's rights. JAMES B. MASON. In reponse to the inquiry whether he would support the amendment, Mr. Mason sent us the above card. Mr. Mason is a lawyer of repute and a gen tleman of intelligence and irreproach able character. He is an old line Re publican, who has fought the battles of his party in season and out of season, and kept the confidence and respect of the people. He represented this Sen atorial district in the General Assem bly and has filled many positions of trust in his county and town. His opinions are worth much upon any subject and the more, for the able and lucid position he takes on the amend ment. We are rejoiced to see such men es pousing such a laudable cause, that m which the future well-being of the White Man is so much at stakcThank you, Mr. Mason. Who next? Chapel Hill News. Mr. Caldwell Makes a Speech. Correspondence of the Landmark. Mess. C. H. Armfield and L. C. Cald well appeared as counsel in a law uit which was to have been tried near Olin Saturday, the 12th inst., and as the case was arranged without going to trial and there being a large crowd present, Mr. Caldwell was called on for a speech. He made a short speech but one of the best speeches that has been heard in this part of the country in a long time. Mr. C. didn't speak over fifteen minutes, but he said a great many things in that short time which were very enthusiastically ap plauded. He said he had got back 'home; that he bad made up his mind a good while ago to come back as soon as the old Democratic party got herself together; said that two years ago a United States Senator attempted to in troduce him to Mr. Jim Young, of col or, .but he refused to give Mr. Young his hand; said that satisfied him and he made up his mind fully then to re turn, home; said that he was not a can didate for any office and didn't know that he ever would be, but his best time and talent was at the service of the party. His argument for the amendment was clear and convincing and will do good. We are glad to wel come this brillian and aggressive young man back with us. We hope we will have the privilege of hearing him again before long. May he long live to dispense light and truth aj he now see it. Respectfully, etc, BACKW OODM AN. Olin, N. Tossibly the coinage of a half cent would be a convenience in furnishing a simile when some gentlemen are tryise to tell what they feel like after the conventions hare made nominations. HOLTON MAiES fcXCihCS. Why He Dodged a Joir.t Discussion in the Campaign. At the Republican State Convention held in this city early in the mouth, the Republican Sice4iolders, who controlled its deliberations, had only one problem to solve, everything else having been fully eut and dried by Hanna and" Piitchard before the latter left Washington. That question wes whether to nominate Linney or Bynum and meet the Democratic candidates on the stump or to nominate a putty candidate like Adams and run a"bush whacking" campaign. The nomina tion of Adsyns made i certain that there would be no Joint campaign, cer tainly as long as Adams "plays like" he is a candidate. For some days Mr. Holton, Republi can State chairman,has had his tongue out, as is the custom of those who do not find it easy to write, trying tof rame a letter giving a plausible excuse for not accepting the challenge of Chair man Simons to a joint debate. He had been ordered to decline on- the day Adam3 was niominated, and he has at last framed a declination in the shape of a miserable pettifogging excuse and misleading campaign document which he designed to have the Democratic papers circulate for him. But ihe will be disappointed in thi3 expectation They have enough of truth and fact wlthout filling their columns with Hel ton's campaign documents. Holton says in effect that he wir accept the Invitation if the Democrat? will: 1. Withdraw the Constitutional amendment; 2. Repeal the election law; 3. Let dead negroes, negro boys and imported negroes vote as they did in 1896; 4. Compel men wearing red shirts to put on black shirts; 5. Quit talking about negro rule and Radical rascality: 6. Take Mr. Aycock off the ticket and nominate a candidate who cannct out talk their dummy cand date; 7. Promise never to disfran chise a single one of their 120,000 ne gro voters. If the Democrats will do these thinr and talk only about the difference between tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee, "we will meet you cn ev ery stump." "Will you walk Into my parlor, Said the spider to the fly." The Democrats feel deeply about the necessity of ending negro rule and making it impossible for Helton's crowd to put 1,000 negroes In office as it did in 1895-98. They do not want a repetition of the "hell-born dream" that made the Wilmington riot neces sary. In the lat Legislature, urged thereto by by the white people cf all parties, the Democratic and Popul'st members submitted a Constitutional amendment to the people to ascertain whether they wished to permanently banish negro rule as they had in No vember temporarily ended it. Suoh men a3 Cyrus Thompson, John R. Smith and Hal W. Ayer were foremost in urging such an amendment, and the white people demanded it in order to prevent other such scenes a-? made the blood run on the streets of Wilming ton. "It wa3 a condition, net a the ory" t:.t confronted the white people. Mr. Holton makes much of a circular issued by Mr. Simmons duhing the campaign to the effect that the Demo crats did not propose any scheme of disfranchisement. The amendment now submitted to disfranchise most cf the negroes and no white men (that is lis meaning) is not the result of premeditation on the part of any set of men. It is the result of the vigor ous and not- to-be disregarded com mand of the great body of the white people that sprung up chiefly by reas on of the riot In Wilmington and the danger of like troubles. If Mr. Holton doubts this let him ask Dr. Cyrus Thompson, the Re-Pop-li-can candi date for Governor, fcr in November, 1S98. Dr. Thompson said: "It is evident that the Democrats will have to eliminate the negro ques tion now. I do not think that the people who have given the Democratic party power will be satisfied with any thing elsethan the elimination of the of the negro from politics in North negro from politics in North CCaro lina." Dr. Thompson was right. If that Legislature had failed to submit an amendment for "the elimination cf the negro from politics in North Caro lina" the honest white voters would have felt that they had failed to serve the State at one of the critical poiuts in its history, and Holton, Ayer. Thompson and "Blanche, Tray and sweetheart" would have gone about the State barking and saying: "The Democrats talk against negro rule but they refused to take the only feasible step to eliminate the negro." The only Populist State Senator and the Populist House leaders voted to sub mit the amendment. The people will vote on it as to its merits, and not be cause of what any one said or did not say In the campaign of 1896. Every man who wants White Supremacy, who understands the amendment, ex cept pie-eater3 and those who want to get in office through the negro vote, will vote for the amendment; the me groes and their allies will vote agafnst the amendment. "Choose ye this "day whom ye will serve." There Is only one paragraph in Mr. Holton's letter that needs any atten tion from white folks. He says: " and further in view of the statement of your candidate for Gov ernor in a public speech at Snow Hill, referring to the determination o? the Democratic machine to rule; said that there are three ways in which they may rule by force, by fraud or by law. We have ruled by force, we can rule by fraud. " This a simple, plctx unvarnished, home-made lie out of the whole cloth. Mr. AycocK never said thi3 He did not say it at Snow Hill or anywhere else, at any time, to any audience or io any individual. Mr. Holton or.gb.5 to hasten to apologize for giving circula tion, even in Republican newspapers, to a statement so entirely innocent, of the truth. News and Observer. For Good cf the State.
