f-ESSEIiGER - iliTEELLIuL'CEn. VDK.SlK)KO, X. C, SEP. 15, 1S9S. JAS. G. BOYLIN, Publisher. A I'ARTY OF F4I.NK VllV.- I;: the Populist convention here, Tues day, Mr. E. D. Myers, ot Gulledge town ship, came before the convention and stated, as a fact, without any qnalifica- stoii whatever, that the' Republican con vention, just adjourned, hil mad ? cer tain nominations for certain coun y ofii -cos, and moved that said nominations be endorsed by the Populists. Now as to the facts in the case:' The Republican convention did not make the nominations as declared by Mr. Myers, and to say that it did was nothing more nor less than a perversion of troth, whether designedly or not we will not attempt to say. . Mr. t Myers hi tnsell knows how that is. If Mr. Myers did not know that his statement was untrue, there was one present who did, but he opened not his mouth, and the convention proceeded to vote unanimously for the motion to en dorse nominations that had never " been made..' - ' -v v . The question naturally arises why these saintly reformers, these men who leftth.; Democratic party because it was not good enough for them, these men who are not only willing but anxims to barter principles for office, allowed them sulvej to be made parties to a species of false pretense that should bring the blush to the cheek of every honest man? The probability is that some sort of fu sion wiir finally be patched up between those Populists who place pie above principle and the Republicans, and our only object in refering to the matter at all, is to direct attention to the inherent dishonesty of the entire business. - v It used to be the fashion in this country for white people to eat at the first table, but "in these latter days it seems that this good old custom has changed, at least so far as politics are concerned. The Populist and Republican conventions ..were both called to meet here Tuesday. About 11 o'clock the Republicans took charge of the court house and kept charge of it several hours. The Populists hung around, went in and out, and looked auxious. The col ored delegates talked and talked aud talk ed, without the least regard for the feelings or convenience of their would-be white al-lii-s. The truth is that the little handful of olnce-seekers men who have gone into pol itics for a living were held in such con tempt by the negroes that their presence was almost entirely ignored by them. White men of Alison, we ask you if yon are willing to intrust the affairs of this county to men who have to wait until the negroes have had their say before hold ing their convention and nominating their candidates? if you are then, indeed, has the time eome for sack cloth and ashes. lASFECTED llY A MIGIIO. White School at ZttnfNrille Visit ! by Xeero Commit teeuiau - Results oriCosselUsm ia Joues Conntj, . Newborn Journal. Jones county is suffering from the re sults of fusion. It was fusion that re sulted in the present Board of Education which elected five school committeemen, three of them white and two colored. One of these negroes is named Ed. Kin sey, and he has maintained his "rights" by inspecting a white school. Mr. J. B. Collins is the school, teacher who had charge of the Maysville school last He is- a young man of intelligence and gentlemanly demeanor. -' The school at Maysville has some fifty white schol ars, boys and girls, and some of the girls almost old enough to be dignified by the title of young ladies. There are three white school commit teemen in Jones county, but the negro Kinsey visited the school alone. lie spent an hour in the school room where the white boys and girls were being taught. He found that the desk were not made properly and recommended tat the backs be changed. What fur ther changes the negro considered ne cessary is not told. Mr. Collins found the situation very embarrassing, but considered it best to let the negro make his "inspection" and depart, and so the school contluued on the even tenor of its way. There are ncurmurs loud and deep in Jones county, and it is declared that this condi; ion of affairs will not be endured. - It EX OU ACES REPUBLICAN ISM. , Dr. Perkins Believes That White Men Should Rule North Caro lina. m Raleigh Post. 7 . Newport, N. C, Sept. 12. I wish through your excellent paper to re nounce my connection with the Re publican party. My reasons for do ing so are that 1 believe that white men should rule North Carolina, and I was convinced at the last- Ee- publican State Convention, which I am sorry to say I attended as a dele gate, that the .Republican party is composed chiefly of negroes and the trend, of this party is to place the negro more and more over the white race. Ana now 1 pledge myselr to vote and use all my influence for the success of the white man's par- ty. L. W. Perkins, M. D. Dr. Artful Amos Maynard tells the Populists of Anson, through his paper, the People's Tribune, that they "will have to bear some things during the campaign that good men ought not to bear." Judging from the way the ex pression of Dr. Maynard's face has changed, since he sold out to the Repub licans for pie, the hardest thing he will have to bear in this campaign will be the bill of indictment brought against him by his own conscience. We assure you .doctor, that the change in your face and your deportment is so pronounced that it has become a subject of general remark with many of your former friends and well wishers. The only two men in North Carolina who have raised their voice in defence of John R. Smith, in his conduct of the penitentia ry, are Col. O. H. Dockery and his son Claudius. Claudius is chaiman of the board of directors of the penitentiary and was closely associated with Smith before that worthy was kicked out by Russell for ln- competency and dishonesty. Vucle Strowd, Butler's candidate for Congress in the Raleigh district, was de li'ateu lor re-nomination last week by one Jenkins, a Fritchard-Skinner Republican. And thus it goes. Butler has been defeated all over the State by the Pritchardites and .' yet there are Populists who have the brazon effrontery to talk about Democrats being hypocrils on the silver question. The Negro Editor's Coarse En dorsed By the Negro District Conference and Sunday School Convention of Wilmington. The following appears in the Daily Record, of Wilmington, of the 10th in stant, the negro paper which recently published a vile slander against white women: . To the Wilmington Daily Record: We the members of the Wilmington District Conference and .Sunday School conyention in session at Lake v Wacca- maw, N. C, after seeing the bonl yet manly stand that you have taken for our people, yes, our race, especially our la dies, we assure you that you nave our approval and endorsement and pledge ourselves to ever stand by you to hazard ing of our lives. We think you a grand man, we think your paper is the paper that every negro should support as Ion as she stands forth in the protection of the ladies of our race. May you know tna; wa, sir, nave espoused, your cause, and we purpose to a man to see that you and your paper shall have our support: Mr. editor, contiuue your well begun work in the defence of our race, and this conference pledges tosuppport you and your paper. "Rev. D. T. MitChell P. E., "E. S. Simmons, Secretary." It will be remembered that when it first became apparent that Maynard had sold out to the Republicans, the M & I. pointed out that he would bear watching; that he was after .something. The result proves that we were right he, want to be clerk of court : " Tired or the Degradation. Wilmington Star. From the way in which decent Popu lists are leaving that party and going back to the Democratic party there will be very little decency left in it when election day comes. A great many leave it quiet ly and say nothing about it, but there are many whose disgust with its manage ment, its prostitution for the benefit of the offlce-hunters, and their shameless bargaining for office and consorting ' with the Republicans, white and black, that they cannot suppress their disgust and indignation and have to give expression to their feelings. ; The populist convention in the Wake district turned down Strowd for congress and put in Jenkins, of Chatham, for whom the trump of . fame has never tooted once. It was brought about by a plan copyrighted by one Duncan who is i'iite as obscure as Jenkins, is one of lit tle McKinley's teat-suckers and he swings to it as collector of internal re venue. It is quite useless to waste words over such a gang. It is said that Jenkins, candidate for defeat, poses on his stool as a populist but in practical politics he is ablackjradical. Wil. Messenger. .

Geneva, Sept. 11. At. the time of her assassination, about 1 p. m. yesterday, Empress Elizabeth was walking from the Hotel Bean ltivage, where she had been a guest several days, to the lauding place of a steam er when the assassin suddenly ap proached her and stabbed her to the heart. - , . One account says she fell, got up again and was carried to the steamer unconscious. The boat started, but seeing the Empress had not recover ed consciousness, the captain return ed, and the Empress was carried to the Motel Beau litvage, where she expired. . ; Another account says that after having been stabbed aud having fal- en, the Empress rose and walked on board the steamer, where she fell, fainting. The captain did not wish to put off from the quay, but did so at the request of the Empress' suite. ihen, there being apprehension that he was seriously hurt, the steamer was turned back before reaching the open lake. The Empress remained nconscious and was carried to the hotel on a stretcher. The stretcher was hastily impro vised from oars and sailcloth. Doc tors and priests were summoned and telegram was seut to Emperor raneis Joseph. All efforts to revive the Empivss were unavailing and she expired at 3 o'clock. A priest was summoned in time to administer extreme unction." The medical examination showed that the assassin must have used a small, triangular file fu making the fatal wound. Afrer striking the blow the assas sin ran along the Rue des Alpes, with the evident intention of entering the Square des Alpes, but before reacti ng it he was seized by two cabmen, who had witnessed the assault. They handed him over to a boatman and a gendarme, who took him to the .po- lce station. He made no resistance. He even sang as he walked along, saying: "1 did it. She must be dead. In the police station he 1 said he was a "starving anarchist, with no hatred for the poor, but only for the rich." He was taken to the court house later and questioned by a mag istrate, in the presence of three mem bers of the local government and the police officials. The police on searching him found a document showing his name to be Lmgi Luccesi, born in Fans in 1873, and an Italian soldier. Luccesi confessed that he had been an anarchist since he wasthier- teen years old. "If all anarchists did their duty as 1 nave done mine, he said, 'bourgeois society would soon disap pear. He admitted that he knew the crime was useless, but said he com mitted it "for' the sake of ex ample." - Rep.-Pops. Slot Now Complain lug at the Low Price of Cot ton. Raleigh Post.

I herewith send you the original text of Mr. Page's an swer, which is interesting reading, and will commend itself to the former parif h-. ionera of the much-loved pastor. Please return the manuscript letter, as Mr. Gil leland values it very highly, and uses it to win over his fellow Populists to his new views of fusion. REV JESSIE H. PAGE'S LBTTER. Rockingham, C., Sept. 8, 1898. My -Dear Kriend and Brother: I am glad to get your letter. I remember you as one of my kind mends . when I was your pastor on the Rock Springs circuit, 14 05. 15 years ago.' I know you to be an honest man and a good citizen, 'who wishes to do all yon can for the best in terest of your State. I am not a politi cian in a partisan sense, hut I feel it to be thediity of every man ;who has a wife and daughter to protect from the vicious and brutal element in society, which is always emboldened when the incompe tent and the degraded are in authority, to raise his voce and cast his ballot in earnest protest against crimes too horrible to contemplate, which always flow from reign of base and degraded rulers. The good Book says: "The wicked walk on every side, when the, vilest men are ex" alted." Psalm 12:8. If you wish to see this Scripture truth forcibly illustrated, come down east, where hundreds of base, insolent negroes are set up in office over as good white men and women as live any where. '' I wrote the letter which you saw over my name in The Charlotte Observer of the 4th instant, and I stand squarely by every word it contains. Indeed "the half has not been told." If the same fusion combine is continued in office at th com- in election, language cannot depict the scenes of suffering, utter desolation and ruin that will come to the east, and w ill be felt by the whole State. Honest men of the we3t, help our brethren of the east to avert a calamity too appalling to think of ! . . - - With love and best wishes, Sincerely, Jesse H. Page. Negro Jurymen a Traversty on Jnstice. H, E. C. Bryant, writting from VVilming ton to Charlotte Observer. On the 7th of February, 1896, a little 10-year-old colored girl walked into the store of Mr. R. F. Hammey, the hatter, of Wilmington, and asked if he had a red Tam O'Shanterhat. Mr- Hammey was writing at the desk in the. back of the store. He answered no, and continued his work. --After looking about for some minutes, the girl asked in a rather indig nant tone: "Well, can't you show me some hats?" Mr. Hammey arose from his seat and went to the front and showed her hat after hat, but she saw nothing that exactly pleased he. Howeyer, she liked a red yacht cap and lett, saying that she would see her mother and prob' ably returu and get the hat. Mr- Ham mey went again to his work at the desk and the girl stood near the stove, for. a short while and then left for home. Noth ing more was seen of "her till about 1 o'clock. She came in and Mr. Hammey said: "I guess you have come for the hat?' " She said nothing to this. At thi3 time in stepped her father, R. F. Holmes, one of the regular policemen of the town. He had on his badge and his uniform, but did not have his club. He said ' to Mr. Hammey: "You insulted my girl this morning. Mr. Hammey denied the charga indignantly, but before he had time to think the negro knocked him down with a brass knuck, cutting three deep gashes over the right eye. Mr, Hamrr-ey, being a very strong man and a very plucky one, sprang to his feet and made for Holmes. Several I cks passed and Holmes tried to draw his pi-tol. But by this time Tony Ashe, a negro deputy sheriff, ran in aud arrested Holmes. Ashe had accompained Holmes to the door be fore the fight. . He was waiting outside.

The Republicans and Populist of Guil ford county have fused and named as the head of the joint ticket G. Sam Brad shaw, Esq. , late clerk of the Superior court of Randolph county. Who is G. Sam Bradshaw? What ha? he done tbat he should receive the sup port of the "reformers" in Guilford eoun-ty? Until 1896 he was a Domacrat. ne had held office twelve years or there abouts. ' At Chicago the Democrats nominated Bryan and declared for free silver. G. Sam couldn't stand that. He want ed "honest" money.- He regarded with distrust any party that wanted to pay debts in "depreciated currency." He be lieved in scrupulous honesty at least he said so. Bryan's espousal of what he called "a fifty cent" dollar made G. Sam unwilling to support him. Nothing but a 100-cent gold dollar would satisfy G Sam. And so ht. quit the organized Dem ocracy. The next" heard of G. Sam he was can vassing the State for Palmer and Buck ner, denouncing "repudiation," and de claring that a man who paid his honest debts in "fifty-cent" dollars was all sorts of a rascal, and pleading for the gold standard and Grover Cleveland Democ- racy They did say that G. Sam found the business of advocating the gold stad; ard profitable and was well paid for his advocacy ot the "nonest dollar, it was observed that he made no speeches about "repudiation" or the "honest dollar" in Randolph county. His home people had no chance of applauding his dissertation upon paying "honest debts in honest dollars-"" On election day G. Sam voted for Mc Kin ley. Since then he has been a Republican with a big $. He. wants hi3 dollar "sound" and "honest." - And now G. Sam, who canvassed the State for Palmer and Buckner and voted for McKinley, is the Populist candidate for the Senate in Guilford county. Will he win? -. . j . , - G. Sam will win if the Populists are all gold-bugs, and if they" can be charmed by his orations against the dishonest Bryanties who want to pay "honest debts in dishonest dollars."

A Federal Magistrate Hanged by Negroes ia Oklahoma. Wichita, Kan., Dispatch, 12th. Judge Prouty, of the Federal Court at Tecum3eh, Oklahoma, was lynched by a number of negroes near his home late last niht The negroes, numbering on ly ten, overtook him on the public road about four miles out of town, bound him hand and foot, stripped him of his cloth ing ai.d hanged him to a tree by the roadside, where his body was found this morning by farmers going into town. On the body was pinned a piece of paper upon which was scrawled: "Justice to negroes." On last Saturday night some cow-boys came to Tecum seh and got drunk. As they Wde leaving town they passed Dave Fitch, a tough negro of that section. The cow-boys began shooting at him and he returned the fire. All of them heu opened upon him and filled his body with bullets. No attempt was made by Judge Proutyto prosecnte the murderers and the negroes sent him a threat to lynch him unless he took immediate action. It looked like a war of extermination between whites and blacks, and the judge still refused to act. The whites came to his rescue and told him to stand firm and they would frighten the negroes out of the country. Sunday a crowd of negroes rode out to Judge Prouty's home and left word with his family that unless the J cow-boys were arrested at once they would avenge their comrade's murder by murder. - The judge was in town and did not know of the visit. When he started home, about 10 o'clock, the negroes were no tified and followed him. They came upon him and soon accomplished their purpose.- 1 ne-wmtes are in a state ot terror and arc arming themselves with the ylew of exterminating all the negroes of that section. v No Joint Canvas.
