Jf they have any quality that is more conspicuous than the run ning quality, it is the dodging " quality. They hide in holes, . in swamps, in back rooms, be hind closed doors, in hollows. Smoke 'em out, twist 'em out, shoo 'em ojit. They must face, the music or add additional shame to the negro party they represent. Our candidates and speakers are in the field. They come honestly and squarely before the people anjl plead the cause of the decent people. Where are the candidates and speak ers and leaders of the . negro party. They are hiding in the darkness, and no sense of shame "or sheepishness can drive them from their holes. - Meekins is believed to be in the umbrageous shadows of the .adjacent swamps of.Pasquo ; tank county. If he comes out . at all it is by the light of the stars or in the darkness pro . found. It is reported that he is spotted all over with mos quitos and yellow flies bites, and his best Jriends would'nt know him, but Dr. Jack, who is groomman, rubs. him down every night with bear's grease and coon oil, and pronounces it a case of spinal vertebrattus, a disease that originates from sleeping- with negroes. Shaw, the.carpet bagger from Alamance, has not been seen since he heard that Tom Rabb was gunningforhim and trying to get him and Jack, tho other carpet bagger, in range. Jaclr 13 -in the saddle, stuttering with the weight of a guilty conscience; Cobb is standing afar off, winking with his left eye,andholdingadoublehandful of wires and pulling at them. Overman and Cully are laying low and keeping dark, waiting orders from Jack, and ready to sign all bonds of all criminals to any amount of a justified bond, provided the criminal has a black hide, or at least a black streak down his back, which latter addition was sug gested by Jack for personal considerations. Harry Skin ner has fqll down and broke his back on the pavements of Greenville, and John Small is waiting anxious ly to ask him 20 personal and political questions and is keep ing them in soak for Harry when his back gets well, when, he writes John Small, he will bo on hand to answer all ques tions.' Frank Spence, a fledgl ing of the negro party with the zeal of a neophyte is posing - for Sheriff Rank's shoes, and has already become the choice of Jack, by his adroit hat handling and promises to pay in the fujure,. And there's one John Burgess, under the shadow of Jack and Cobb's roost, who laughs aloud and euffaws when they smile and weeps when they loqk sad,who . is setting for money clerk in thti Post Office, because or a promise to give Jack the re sponsible place of letter handler, which Jack understands. And there's a crowd of privates, who command squads of no- groes who do without question ing, the bidding pi Jact from "brushing his jacket, to TniTinf his drinks on the o sly. All this negro brigade of white leaders do not make this town. AH of them belong to the low down class of whites, and wiin nut them, this would be a mod - A ifv in dficencv and in public sentiment, and with out these fifteen or twenty whites, the negros would be a well behaved, kind and order W class of citizens, but with the negroes under the control of these low whites our peace is in peril, our civilization is threatened, our wives and A,V.i-o nrn insulted. OUr manhood is humiliated, and we are standing on the edge flirt which will Ul 4 vvfMM.w- shock humanity. And vet tfhito meD, some cf them decent white men,votc with the necroes or stand apart indifTer ent to the contest. "We almost lose faith in human nature! If we do not carry this election on the 8th of November, then, as God is our witness, a future awaits us that will subjugate tiir -Anrrlo-Saxon race under the'lieels of dirty white men and negroes-, or our streets will be red with blood.

Meekins got to Hertford last week just too late to meet Geo.! Ward in joint debate, al tho he hurried up the railroad at the topmost speed. Buthe expended his overloaded ammunition at a negro meeting in the Court House at night and onejof the negro speakers, one Ferebee, intimated in words more vigorous than . classical that Ike "Hed," and demanded an ex planation which Ike essayed to give, but it did not satisfy the dusky brethren. He then dissapeared and we feared we. neer should 'see his face againj but the Raleigh Post is a faithful watcher and, one of its re porters met with Ike "Vay down, in the lowlands so low" of Pamlico, and reports some passages of his speech of the ( lonesome canvass he is mamng biuuu mo uclv wc of that remote section of the First Judicial District.

' His illustrations and anecdotes were couched in lan guage too vulgar to be made public; altogether he showed himself a fit KJ . ... subject and worthy of the . common "nigger" vote, but not a nt suDject for a decent white man to vote for, and totally unfit for so important an office, i j 1 If Meekins should unfortunately be elected Solicitor by negro votes white men who stay in North Caro lina had better insure their hen roosts at ,once. , !

Mr. Editor : I saw in your paper of last! week a letter from fcoutn Mills in which the writer placed the white inteligence on I one ' side and the negroes on the jotner, neaaea and led by a disreputable set of low down common Pie Hunters, known as white men. I wish to add my endorsement to the sentiment there in expressed and I believe I voice the sentiment oi every wmie inau in this part oi me jcouu' cai those who are trying to ride into office on the negrde's back, but straddlers are very few, the Populists will all vote solid the white man's ticket, ana manv oi.tne old union men who have been re publicans all their Jives aay they can not support negro supreumuy any longpr. Now as to the two ac tive politicians referred to in his let ter. !We people in this part of the county happen to know one of these men because he was' raised with us and "we can't believe for one moment that he will be found heading a ne gro brigade against his own race and blood. .
