THE CAUCASIAN PUBLISHED KVKRT THURSDAY BY THS ClUOMItN POBLMHIKO CO 8U88CRIPTI0M RATES. Ml TIA&... SIX MONTHS... TERM MONTHS. .60 .M Catered at the Poet Offloe in Raleigh, KiCtii second-class mail matter BXACKMA.IL A NO ELECTION FRAVDB IN KKNTCCKY. Mr August Belmont, one of the lead ing offiseri and owner i of the rail road interest m Kentucky, haa given ont some interesting correspondence between himself and Henry Watter aon, which occurred during the last eampaign in Kentucky. We regret that we hare not room to publish this correspondence in full, as it makes several columns, but the sub stance of it is that Mr. Watterson tried to influence Mr. Belmont to nse his influence with the corpora tions in Kentucky to support Ooebel and the Democratic ticket. The interesting part of Mr. Watter son's correspondence with Mr. Bel mont is the kind of argument nsed by him to influence or coerce Mr. Belmont and the corporations into putting up money in support of Ooebel. We will make room for a few sentences from Mr. Wattersoa'a letter. Oae is as follows: The Democratic state ticket just nominated will certainly be elected. Under the operation of the Goebel election law the result is not left to chance." Thus we see Mr. Watterson plain ly tells Mr. Belmont (and no doubt similar letters written to heads of every business interest in Kentucky) that they must get on the band wag on and support Ooebel, because, under the Ooebel law, they could steal the state, no matter how the voters voted. There is nothing "left to chance" says Mr. Watter son. He argues to Mr. Belmont that the machinery is perfect for controlling the result. Therefore, - Goebel is bound to be counted in, even though the majority was large against him. Tnis kind of persua sion and throating argument not having the desired effdCf,Mr. Watter son follows it np with direct threats. A grain writing Mr. Bdlmont, he calls his attention to the fact that any railroad or other business interest of Kentucky that dare oppose Goebel and his methods were not only wast ing their eff jrts, but, then proceeded to threaten them by saying that if they did not support Gjebel that "evil consequences are as sure as the coming of the next session of the Kentucky legislature.'' Was there ever a more infamous ; TELL HOW IT WAk DOME. A Tarboro correspondent of the Rtleigh Post writing about Dan Gilliam for Congress on the Demo cratic ticket says that if it had not been for Gilliam's services in the last campaign that Edgecombe county instead of giving 2500 ma jority for the Democratic ticket .would have riven 1200 maioritv against that party. This is a frank but remarkable confession of wonderful political trickery and manipulation on the part of Gilliam who now seeks a rosition of high honor and great trust as a reward for aid in robbing men of their votes, as was done to carry Edgecombe. If Mr. Gilliam could easily convert a 1200 adverse majority into 2500 ma jority for the Democratic ticket, why did not he or his henchmen manifest equal skill in the manipulation of ballots, and prevent the return of the negro, who resides in Tarboro, as a Representative in the Congress of the United States? If Edgecombe could give 2500 majority for the Democratic ticket why did it not give 2500 majority against White instead of 250 majority? If they had been sincerely desirous of defeating the negro White, who was elected by 1500 plurality, these skillful manipulators could have done so with the greatest ease. be. cause they carried the second Dis trict by an overwhelming majority for their Judicial ticket, and, at least, six of the nine counties for their county and Legislative tickets. In fact, if Edgecombe alone had shown the same desire o defeat White that it did to elect the county and Legislative tickets the negro would not now occupy a seat in Con gress. Then, too, Halifax county went Democratic by 2000 majority and White received about the same majority in that county, yet the Democrats yelled themselves hoarse, about the negro in politics. They are responsible for the return of White to Congress. The skillful manipulators and ballot-box stuff ars could have stolen enough votes to have defeated him had they earnest ly desired to have done so. THE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE MEET INC. The Democratic National Com mittee, which was in session in Washington last week, called the National Convention to meet at Kansas City July 4th. This is the latest date that any national con vention has been held of any party In many years. It was well known that Mr. Bryan favored an early date. Therefore, the action of the committee in fixing such a verv meeaofhla.ftfcmii.il- W.a fKa A.t late date is no doubt a nnmrtao fji W T H tAA V W V - b- a. w W a more open and a bolder confession tne public.

In other words, the legislature, according to the plain language of the Constitution, has no right to instruct the court, or- in any man ner whatever usurp any of the au thority or functions of the court, therefore, the court, under these circumstances, would not pay any heed to the legislative declaration. Numerous authorities sustain this view. Then, let us consider, briefly, the suggestion of Judge Brown. In the first place it was a gross breach of judicial propriety for him to ha-'e made such a suggestion while on the bench, and it further proves that there is grave doubt existing in the minds even of his own par ty, as to the constitutionality of the "grandfather clause," and fearing a break in the ranks this plan was proposed to hold men in line-who are disgusted with the Simmons machine and their contemptible methods. J The fact that a etianga is propos ed now is positive and convincing evidence that the people are sus picious, and .losing faitfi in the tricksters who are endeavoring to disfranchise fifty thousand white men under the guise of "perma nently restoring and preserving white supremacy." The damnable, diabolical scheme to rob white men of their political rights will not work, and the trans parent fraud and hypocrisy are be ing shown to the full gaze of all men.

The Meeting Harmony. Special Correrpondence Caucasian. ' Lin-colx, Neb. Feb. 20, 1900. The People's Party National Ex ecutive Committee, after finishing its work, adjourned this evening. It fixed the date of the National Convention of the party for Wed nesday, May 9th; and fixed the place at Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The Committee was called to or der in Representative Hall of the State capltol, yesterday bv Chair- man Butler, pursuant to call for the Committee meeting. The Chairman announced that it was the duty of the National Chairman to prepare the roll of the Commit teemen legally entitled to sit in the Committee, but that he had not been able to secure sufficient evi dence to settle all contests. He fur ther announced that he had left off the roll the names of those com mitteemen who had participated in holding the bol ing rump Conven tfon at Cincinnati which had nom inated Barker and Donnelly. He further stated that no distinction was made between what is known as Middie-of-the-Roaders and Fu sionists, because everv one of thesA were as much members of the par ty ana as mucn entitled to deliber ate in the councils of the nartv a any other as long as they support ed the organization and would abide by the action of the Conven tion. The Chairman then announced that in order to enable him to hear evidence and to settle contests that the Committee would not be regu larly called together until 8 o'clock at night, and that all contests wouid be heard in the meantime. The Chair then appointed Senator Allen, General Weaver and Colonel Harry Tracey to sit with him and hear these contests and arrive at a conclusion and report to the Com mittee. At 8 o'clock in the evening the Committee was promptly call ed to order, when the Chair had the Secretary of the Committee to read the roll legally accredited commit teemen Tne Chair called attention to the fact that the proxies of sev eral members of the Committee, who would themselves, if present in person, De entitled to sit with the tor Allen and Col. Tracey was ap pointed to confer with the silver Republicans. " There was a lively contest in the Committee oyer both the place and the time for the Convention, but those in favor of standing by the Omaha agreement and calling the National Convention at least a month ahead of the old partv con ventions was in the majority. A motion to hold the National Con vention at the same time and place as the Democratic convention was voted down, also a notion to hold the Convention on the 16th of May was voted down. By a good majori ty the vote was fixed for May 9th. The Texas members of the Com mittee took the lead in the fight for Jiay yen, ana tnev declared that if that date was fixed it would be not only in accordance with the Oma ha agreement, but would be satis factory to every honest mlddle-of-the-oader in the Nation. The contest for place was between Indianapolis, Kansas City, Milwau kee and Sioux Falls. Kansa-? City was represented by a delegation of its business men with a proposition of a free hall decorated, music and a cash contribution of five thous and dollars. Milwaukee made a similar proposition. Sioux Falls equalled these propositions in ev ery respect and increased the cash couidration five hundred dollars. It Was shmun that.

A majority of the mid-road com mitteemen have faithfully stood by that agreement, but a few of them, within an Hour after tho Committee adjourned, met in a cer tain hotel in Omaha and issued a call for the meeting which nomina ted Barker and Donnelly. It was this element of the bolters who de manded admittance to the Com mittee meeting at Lincoln and who were refused. Every mJddle-of-the-road committeeman who had re fused to take part in that bolt not only disapproved of their action uui a, Lao recent; meeting sus tained Chairman Butler In ruling that the bolters were not entitled to sit with the Committee.
