some of the pinching.
The white voter baa left his old
party (Democratic) because of its
perfidy and dishonor. He is direct
ing his efforts to secure reform
through some other agency. But
he is not appealing to the Republi
can party not much! This fact is
not lost oa the colored voter. He
sees the white man leaving his old
political affiliation because it has
brought him to the verge or RCiJf.
With his rnin, the roin ef the col
ored man must come. This fact the
colored voter knows, and be is dis
posed to back op and unite with his
employer in a common eause.
Last week we printed a letter from
colored man, in Halifax county,
which plainly set forth what is said
above. This week we print another
etter from Craven county signed by
six colored men is which they make
some straight-forward and earnest-
sounding declarations. -So it is evi
dent that the colored voters are lin

of wages at about six dollars a
month, and no work for part of the
time even at that price.

that it is so. And it is not at all

the Ransom Democratic machine in
this State have not only sacrificed
and deserted the principles of Thom

they have acted in a manner so un
fair and they have resorted to ballot
box stuffing and to so many kinds
of intimidation and political corrup
tion that they deserve to be con
demned by all good citizens of the
State. It is this class of machine
men and party bugs that has ruined
the party and bartered away its
principles for a mess of pottage at
the goldbug pie-counter. The mass
es in the Democratic party are true
Jeffersoman Democrats and want the
same reforms that we want. Men of
this kind are coming to the People's
Party daily. As fast as they will
condemn the odious machine and re
nounce the once grand, but now dis
credited party, we are ready to wel
come them into the People's Party

and honorable terms against the

far back as 1830, a negro conducted
one of the most popular and efficient
schools in North Carolina. His name
was Jno. Chavis. He taught in the
counties of Chatham, Granville and

a hazardous thing for us to do at
this juncture." Senator Pritchard
recently said he thought there was

party to settle this silver question
pioperly: but in this last letter he

men, in times of great excitement and
hubbub, actually believe that they are
not ouij aiive, uui separate aiso, uviug
separate existences, and actuated by
separate motives. But a most curious
working of this machine and one main
purpose of its invention and operation
is yet to be disclosed. Many people
called "voters" go to look at the bogy
men and there are many quarrels and
fights going on all the time over two
questions :
1st. Whether or not they are joined
together (at the stomach.)
2d. Whether or not tbey are dead.
What gives rise to these discussions
is that whenever a voter comes near,
the ventriloquist operator begins to
persuade him that one or the other of
the bogy men is trying to insult him,
and that the other is his friend; and
true to this design, one of the bogy
men is all smiles for him. while the
other is threatening him for trying to
smile back at his wooer. This goes on
until the voter gets angry and hits
one of the bogy men as bard as he
can, thereby causing the other bogy to
swing round against him with such
force as to knock him down. This is
done so quickly that observers differ
as to which man struck him. In the
melee that follows, the operator sends

ganization for thirty years. Mr. wounded man to his feet, and during

ow begins an operation which is
the real purpose of the machine. It is
called feeding the bogies or rather the
successful bogy, lor one oi them is al
ways made to whip the other, aud is
officially declared victorious. Along
high counter is moved up in front of
the bogies and between them and the
voters, so that the latter can only see
their heads down to their mouths
which are very capacious. The chief
operator then declares in a loud voice
"to the victor belongs the spoils.'
Upon which immediately all the as
sistant machine operators begin to
withdraw from among tbe voters and
go behind the scenes. The sucesssful
bogy eats nothing but pie which has
been taken from the voters and placed
at his disposal on the pie counter by
tbe machine operators ; and by a chief
operator elected lor that very purpose,
this pie is put iu into the bogy's
mouth. In bis back there is a large
opening from which the pie is taken
by tbe said operator' and distributed
among his faithful assistants behind
the scenes. Some of the pie is passed
through tbe secret connecting pipes
and out through the other nogy.
The most curious feature of the bogy
men is their tails. Each tail has ei in
joint. One tail is white and the other
is very dark, une is labeled with the
letters "8. D. P." and the other with
the letters "8. ;R. P." Tbe last joint
ion each tail is also labeled C
and is now partly broken oil". The
other joints on both tails are labeled
"S. C Ga " "Fla" etc. Both tails are

1 bis adjustable feature has given rise
to many bitter controversies and fights,
some voters contending that tbe tails
grew naturally out of tbe bogies, while
others maintain they are only screwed
on for show and to deceive those voters
who are only or mainly tail-worship
pers.
Another fierce controversy arises as
to whether the tails receive any part
of tbe pie given to the bogies. The
black tail, attached to the bogy labeled
"Republican Party," is notoriously thin
and poor. In fact both the black and
the white tails receive so little suste
nance during the feeding time that
they have to be "greased" just before
