"It is not surprising that sucl
self-respecting colored men a3 Prot
E. A. Johnson, of Raleigh, refuse to
support the fusion ticket. It is sur
prising that any Negro who has any
tic scnoois ror both racs.? Have
they ever helped any of our
race a d treatsd us in a friendly
spirit ?
The Democratic governor, Vance,
J.irvis. Scales, Fowle. Holt 'And Carr.
and many other Democrafcof promi
nence have been helping the Negro
in his educational and material ad
vuncement, but what Ims our Repub
lican friend (?) Russell and his Dem
ocratic and Popnltst associates, Buck
Kitchin. JIarion Butler and S. Otis
Wilson, been doing ?
Living in the strong Democratic
county of Samp?on, Mr. Butler em
pha"ized his virulent hostility to the
Negro by printing a paper called the
"Caucasian." and having as his mot
o: "Pure Democracv: "Whits Sn.
remacy." Nobody ever heard, uns
til he wanted our votes, of his saying
a frieadly word to or of the Negroes
f the Slate.
For twenty year3 the sonorous
iopa for the future of our race should
lend himself to the support of a set
of men who h ive been our worst ene
mies Tt:e four leaders of fusion m
North Carolina, who are the brains,
lie month and the energy of tL
'onibiiiaiion :re :
' Danif.l L, TIusell,
Makion BUTLE'.t,
W. H. Kircnix.
S O rno ilson
We gi ve them . in the onler in
whic! they come. Butler and Rus
eil are the nrains; Kitchin' the
raou'h. ard Wilson the hustler of the
sochlle 1 Repuhlican-Populi: t part).
Did arn body ever he ir until re
cently that either of these men were
especial f. ienda of the negro ? Have
thoj" heen noted as ndvocatas of pub
vice of Buck Kitchin has been
hundering through, the Sta'e. Did
anv body ever hear him refer to the
colored men except in terms of the
harshest and most bitter and rantan
kcrous abu e ? Has any epithet been
t-o denunciatory for him to employ
in speaking of us? He has even exs
celled Judge Russell in vilification
of our whole race. Russell called us
only '-savages.' Kit chin
"stinking
savages.
As to S- Otis Wilson, he . is mt
worth mentioning except that he is
the head of the combine," and is the
hustler for the gang. He has never
done an thing to help the Naro in
the years of his sordid and deceitful
pilgrimage.
And as for Judge Russell, no
thinking, respectable colored man
entertains the idea for an instant
that he has any kindly feeling for
our peo.de. As we have said he
calls us "savage i," treats us as
s tch, only taking an interest in our
wellfate when he desires to use us for
his own personal advantages. The
colored paoj U of this county all know
that all Judge Russell bs ever
amounted to in life is due to the
support given him by our race, and
yet he denounces our race on all oc
casions as being a -'set of ignorant
savages, who do not know enough to
hold an office, and should uot tbei
fore be allowed to. fill one. For
gratitude, he gives us ingratitude;
for kindness, he gives us abuse. "We
ask him for bread and he gives us a
stone., And now at this very mo
ment, while we are writing these
lines, we are informed that ha is con
spiring wth o' hers of his few -white
followers to make up a ticket for us
colore i people to vyte. upon which
he and Siacy Tananuge (another fu
sionUt. wuo expressly authorized
Populist Mason to put hi name on
the" fusion ticket for clerk of lhe
court, and then denied ii) have re
peatedly announced that no colored
man's name s'all appear.
In spite of these things, the other
night when Kitchin 84oke at Wades
boro the Negro band serenaded him.
And wherever these four conspires
tors go, crowds of negroes flock to
hoar them and applaud their utter
ance3. And we fear that many soUj
ored men in our midst will forget that 1
Kussell is driving them, just as he
used to drive bis slaves before the
war, will vote for Bussell s white
man's ticket simply because he has
placed it before them, regardless of
whether it is a Republican or Mongrel
Fusion ticket.
We may well ask, is it necessary
io devote years to the villificadon and
i . .
iuuse oi the negro to gain his ap
plause and support?
If we colored men at this election
vote for the fusionists it will seem
so, '
But my friends and brethren, for
once let us show our independence;
et us show our manhood.
Lit us show that we are not like
dumb driven cattle, to follow tlui man
rhat beats us. to kiss the hand thvt
smite3 us, to obey the dictation of the
mouih which calls us "ignorant savs
ages." We do not ask you to vote
the Democratic ticket,' by no means;
but we do ask tuat if a 'ticket com,
posed only of white men is. j.ut fors
ward by so-called Republirans that
you will nominate a - ticket of our
own; a ticket composed of intelli
gent colored meu: a ticket unon
which no fusioniss name shall aps
pear.
It is said that Stacy Vanamrige
and Hewlett authorized Populist Ma
con to put their names upon his fu
sioiiist ticket, thus making thenm
selves as much fusionists as he (the
white Democrat, that was) an.l ihen
they backed out from the ticker when
Kussell told them that they should
not run for the offices of their selec
tion which was that of clerk for
Van miige, and of treasurer for Hew-
ett. And then they put Populist
Mason on the so called Republican
ticket for the Legislature, in order to
keep their bargain to preserve for
themselves the lew Popu:ist votes in
this county.
Fellow colored Republicans, will
we support such a transaction as this?
Will we vote for populist Hewlett,
or Populist Vanamrige, or Populist
Mason?
It" we must vote for a Democrat,
vote for one who h:3 the honesty to
declare himself to be one, aud upon
whom we can count to do what L
jromises you to do or one who i as,
and whom therefore we know will,
look after om interests as well as thd
interests oi the white men of this
count', but do not vote lor one who
for otlleesake has quir the Democrat
ic party but has-not the manhood ani
courage to join the Republican party,
nor for any Republicans who will al
ow themselves to fuse with dissatis
fied Democrats. You know that the
dissatisfied Democrats who are now
calling themselves Populists will not
vote for one of our color.
And wc know that that is why the
so-called white Republicans, Vans
amrige aBd Hewlett and Russell will
not allow any of our color to be
placed upon the Republican ticket in
this countv;
Will you thus stultify yourselves
by voting for them, or for any one of
them?
The Republican vote in this county
is about 3,000 in number. Of this
number there arc not more than fifty
white men. yet these hfty white men
say that they shall fill all the offices
n this county, and that we shall fill
not one, or Lave the chance to secure
one. Decause we nve not sense
eaough to discharge the duties there
of. They declare that not only stiutt
the tail wag the dog's head but also
the whole body of the dog, with a
Populist put into the d.g's belly.
ellow colored Republicans, we know
that colored men have sense enough
to be school teachers, lawyers, doc j
tors and editors, and that it is a lie
when it is slated that we have not t
senre enough to fill and hold pu'diu ;
olice3. W ill we then support this!
siauder by supporting a ticket; corn-
posed of white Rcpubl.caus entirely, j
and our xace enti ely ignored there- j

A BREEDER-OF STRIFE.
The following, which we clip from
the Wilmington Star, goes f show
the strife that has been brought to
bear, brotner against brother, in the
introduction of the infernal 3rd ites
pajtj :
A lady living near Washington,
Beaufort county, remarked that she
did not know much about politics
but ebe knew that before the Popu
list party came upon the stage there
was a friendly feeling among the
people, but since "then there was
strifa and brother was arrayed
against brother and friends sgainst
friend.
This is true not only in Beaufort
county but all over the State all
over the South and also in the West,
where the Popuhst party has gained
any foothold.
In this State the leaders of tha
party, who are men of small mcnta'
calibre, have done more to sow the
seeds of 'discord, and to create strife
and estrangement among meu who
weie friends than the leaders of the
Radical party did during all the
years in which that party contested
for supremacy, and there were some
very bad and unccrupulous men
among the leaders. Not since 1868.
when these Radical leaders had tneir
pliant followers banded in secret,
oath-bound organizations, and filled
tnem with devilment, and with hat
red of their political opponents, and
inflamed their passions and encour
aged them to lawlessness by incendi
ary speeches have such ir flu minatory
speeches been made and articles cir
culated among the people as there
have been since the entry of the
Populist party on the field. The
leaders seem to think lhat the' way
j to build up the party and to make it
strong is to create the impression on
the minds of those who listen to them
that the' ere a persecuted and op
pressed people, that all who are not
with them are banded against thcra
and that the persecution and oppres
sion will continue until they get the
reins of government and can pass
laws that will give them an equal
showing with otl;ers. It is not an
uncommon thing to hear one of
one of these mouthing orators diiats
ing on the persuasive and salutary
effect of shot guns to achieve the
rights of which they are deprived by
a "fraudulent election." and when
ever the' are beaten the eleotions art
'fraudulent." The' havn't ye t gone
so far as to hint J as to hint at and
thus indirectly counsel the torch and
the dagger, a3 was done in that mem
orable address issued by the Radical
managers in 1869, but they have
learned so much from theii Radical
associates since they have formed the
partnership with them that there is
lo telling what they will stop at.
Convince people that they are the
victims of ostracism, proscription,
persecution and oppression and it
will not be hard to put them in a
frame of mind to seek vengeance in
some way, and this is precisely what
the incendiary .leaders of that party
are trying to do.
'I hey tried "Gideon's Bsnd" two
years ago but they found that in' or
ganizing an order like that they subs
jected themselves to puniehment pro
video by law and they prudently dis
continued the work thev had enter
ed upon. But they are doing much
of their" discord sowing iu secret now,
and have so poisoned the minds of
many of their followers that lhe'
will not listen to any one who does
not subscribe to their views, nor will
they listen to any speaker who does
not make the kind, of a speech the
like to hea .
In the days of Radicalism whcn
the party was strong and hehi the
negroes solid with ii, their minds
were so prejudiced against Democrats
toat thev cou.d not bo eutice i to a
Deuaoeraiic meeting without a big
ba becue or something of lhat aori.jby Senator Ransini in
and then they sometimes hesiuted
about eating for four of being prison

many years men should be endeavor.

The men who sow discord, create dis
trust and breed hatred and strife do
the State infinitely more harm than
they atone for by a life of effort, if
they should ever realize the enormity
of their crime.
Across our Southern border e
have an illustration and a warning
of the the baneful effects of this kmd
of teaching, where incendiary! and
reckless men have S2cured a controll
ing influence over many of their feK
low-citizens, and have wielded it
wiekedly to promote their own
schemes, as the Populist leaders are
doing in this Slate. In our sister.
State the feeling haa long been such
between the opposing factions that
blood has been shed, lives taken, and
ciyil war narrowly averted. The
triumph of Populism or of the corns
bination between Populism and Rad
icalism would put North Ca.olina m
about the same condition South Caro
lina has been in for several years.
and that is surely that no truly pt
riotic, or really sensible North Curo
iinian wants to see.
Only four more days and the great
State catnpa'n will be numbered
with things of the past. It will go
down into history as the most re,
markahle 'political campaign ever
witnessed by the people of North
Carolina. It is an old saying, but
true, that politics makes strange
hedfeilows. Neighbors aie array
ed against neighbors, and it is a cam
paign of crimination and re-crimination.
Men baye said hard things of
each other that will probably never
be forgotten. One of the blackest
and most diabolical conspiracies now
witnessed by the people of a civilized
land has been consummated within
the borders of our grand old cornv
nionweallh. It rivals many of the
conspiracies connected with some of
the most powerful emp'res of past
ages. Seemingly good and well
meaning men have become parties to
a scheme to deliver our State govern
ment the most, perfect and economi
cal government in this great Union
into tho hands of a set of cut
throats and conspirators whose sole
purpose is to plunder and make mis
chief. If i his UepPop combination
should happen to succeed fare well
to good government in North Caro
lina. Prosperity and progress would
be paralyzed, and outside capital
would give us a wide birth. It would
be a blow given which our State
would not recover in many long
years.
The good people of the Slate have
during tbis campaign, witnessed
some strange sights. Men who
boast of Anlo-Saxon blood that
course throw their veins have entered
the star chamber at the still hour of
the night and conferred with some
who are not by env means law-abiding
citizens, and pledged them their
support if they would become candi
dates some 'who do not even stand
so well as J. , H. Young, of Wake,
whom the Pops nominated for Rep
resentalive This J. H. Young it
charged with attempting to kill a
most respectable colored man in the
city of Raleigh not so long ago, but
which the citizens of North Carolina
well remember; and, besides, led to
ruin one of hi3 own colored daugh
ters. Would not they blush with
sltame were their purer whc3 and
daughters to see them cast their
votes for such sct!awas and torn
coats to control the future destiny of
our fair land ?
