The indignation meet leg held on Monday, the llth of August, in Chathajn county, and the one called to be held on Saturday, tho lHtb, in Kampaon county, are healthy signs of moral lifo and patriotic courage in theso communities. They indi cate that the people in some coraino nitiea are determined not to let frand and rascality and intimidation paer without challenge. The people are beginning to understand tbatifthey allow their liberties to be taken away from them under tho excuses recent ly offered, they will soon be tak-n away for less and Ion excuse. The point if, will they allow them to be taken away under any plea, for ne cessity has been the plea of all time, from Dracho to the present time. It wai necessary, the Rulers said, to barn witches in New England, and It was necessary to whip preacherr in North Carolina and Virginia a IP tie more than a century ago f r fre peeeh. The liberties of tho peoph have never been inker away - unless it is allegid-that il was neeessarv t accomplish om good.-. Bat luckib the people are tbajudges of . the ne. oessity, andJn Ciuvt ham ..and .Samp son they have already called meet ings to consider it and to determthf whether the necessity is snffioient The frand and rascality has been a? great or greater in other counties as in Sampson and Chatham. There fore, there is as much reafov, if not more for indignation meeting in a majority or three-fourths of tho eoun ties of tho Htate It the people be gin to submit to such brazen rascali ty and fraud, they will soon learn to submit as tamely as have the people of Halifax for a quarter of a century Unless yon want the libertus of thr people of your county to go Halifax- ward, you should lose no time in as aertirg your manhood, if people submit to each outrages long enough, they will soon find themselves want ing in enough moral life and courage to defend their rights - or denounce those who steal them. Til E INH17X.T TO VANCE'S MKMOKY The Vance Monument is to be un iCu iu tu vpimi oqnare in iront of the State House on next Wednes- uj, August a ad. Vance wasde servingly popular, and ardently ad- w,rwj B 4a y i&rge number Wl luo oi me state, and bad vue respect or an. it is fitting that a monument sbould be erected to u.v v.Fiioi, out is ii uu ramer an unoptortune time to do it? While Vanco lived, he stood iur me ngms or tne common people. tie opposed election frauds, and al ways denounced and succeeded in de feating any tffjrt to disfranchise the people of the State by educational or property qnaiiflcatiou, or other wise. Now, as soon as he is dead and even before a monument can erected to bis memory, all of tbe un democratic and rascally things that heoppo8ed has been accomplUhtd in the name of democracy, and that too, under the leadership of lhe one man in North Carolina, (ballot bux etnffer Simmons,) whom Vance de nounced in terms more vig roas ( ntfit to hold any place of "Tfiist and profit,) than probably he ever da nouueed any other man Bat no sinoe all taese crimes against demo cratic principles and against the good name cf the State bavo been com mitted under th3 leadership of this man Bitnmons, would it not be fhting ana proper to cunplate ibis insult to the memory of Vance by having this nan Simmons, whom Vance soloith ed and despised, to deliver the speech at the unveiling of the .monument f Of course the final and greatest Insult to th " memory of Vauce would bs to send id is man Simmons to th United States Senate, and there' to occupy Vance's seat, where that great statesman a few years ago, de nounced and exposed the trickery of th i man Simmons, and declared that he was unfit to even hold . the .poai. lion as chief red legged grasarhoppsr in North Carolina, ; - No conscientious Christian will steal an election, and no conscient ious Christian' will accept an office that he knows has been stolen for him. AM AMl'MMi tOXTBOVKRHY. J out now there seems to be much division and hair-pulling among the Democratic organs on the negro question. Before the election they all joined in one long continual mo notonous shriek, that unless the Dem ocratic party was put in power, one nfgro would dominate two white men. Since the election and adop tion of the amendment, some of these Democratic organs dealaro that they are tired of the Bfgro qaestioa, that they had promised the people that tbey would hush this aenselees and disgusting cry of negro domina tion, a soon as the amendment was adopted. While another part of the Dtmocratic organs have begun to denounce their brethren for not con tinuing the nevro bowl, saying it is foolish to stop as it U the only issue on which thev can win. The Caucasian has little interest in this dog figh'. Indeed it is d;Ci cult to decide wl.ih faction of these negro howlers is ibe more ioconsis tent. While It is a fact that they all promised that the amerdment would tittle the negro oatstion, and hat if it were adopted tbey wonld not keep this '.'Vis a political foot-ball any longer, yet no one with a memory an inch long, and a thimble fad ot brains, ever supposed that they meant what they said. The very fact that tbey promised to give the negro issue a long rest, was one good rea son to believe that they did not in tend to do it. In the campaign of 1898 did they not promise the people from every stuolpT Did tbey not pledge tho peo ple through their handbook! Did tbey not pledgo the people through 'he columns of every D -mocratic pa per, that if tbey were pa in power tbey would submit no disfranching amend mni? Did not their base and brazen betrayal of their pledge dis gust an overwhelming majority of the people of the t t, and is l.oi this the reason it is necessary for them to pass a thieving election law to steal sixty thousand majority that tbe indignant people did really pile up against them on August 2d? Now, since tbe election is over and the amenment i adopted it seems that some of them for some reason want to keep their promise and stop howling negro, while it reems that some of the others," f or some other reasons, want to keep uo the "cry We have little interest or concern as o whieji conrse any or all of them take,, my be well, that they have fallen oat, at least, the present situation is, suggestive : ot. that. ol adagf : "When tUieyts fall out, hon est men get their dues.

The statements of facts setting forth some of the infamous rascali lies resorted to by the agents and tools of Simmies and his State ma cbino are terribly shocking. We for dear further comment. Let every one read and consider this indict men t for himself. no oouot similar if not greater frauds and rascalities were commit ted in a majority of the counties o the State In everv conntv th t.ota sbould be written up as they have been iu Sampson and published to the world. Where the evidence can be secured and justice can be gotten the election thieves should be prose cuted in the courts. But whtthe this is done or not, if one tenth the rascality and crime committed oy me Democratic machine in the last election is made publie, the is enough hontsty, courage and ma re man hood in North Carolina to buy this intamous and corrupt political ma chme at the next election under maj rity so btg and so deep that ii cannot bo stolen. Turn on the 1 gbt in every county AS OTIIEUS EE IT wpciip from the Washington fie short paragraphsshow ing what that paper thinks of North Carol ina and the methods the Dem ocrais resorted to in the late cam paign. In no paper 'out of the S ate havo we seen where the Populists nave Deen criticised for any unciv- 1 1 , . . aw perpeiraied in the recent campaign. The Post says 'The Hon, Stump Ashby will re turnto Texas with a very poor opinion of Mr. Bryan's North Car- ujma irienas. Tho North Carolina Democrats ii'iuia nasten to turn their red Blllrfd ln.- nn1l...l. ... " Kun vuam ana simmer u'iwi. iney are embarrassing Mr Bryan's campaign against "govern ment without the consent," &c i ne. vance Democratic banner goes to Halifax county, a county that has two thousand more negro yuiers tnan wnite votors. This fact causos tha Charlotte Observer "to remark that "Mecklenburg yields the Vance banner to Halifax with a blush. " ' - . , North Carolina Can vtnnrl tha Koo she has Just had a coat of white-' wash.flaies-Visitor. Well, it does seem so. since ail tno negro, black counties gave such large Democratic ' majorities, and Halifax gets the Vanco banner. But like everything else - white washed, it was done without its aid and consent and even by force. 1H IT WORTH WHILE TO COSTE8TI IS We have received many letters asking this question after detailing the theft and rascality committed by the Democratic election officials in the various counties. Erery person wbo was a canoioate xor. any ceju . 1 V ' . M in Lee recent election, and believes that he was fairly elected, owes it to himself, to hi party, and to hi ctu a try, to make a contest and show the fraud and villiany by which the will of the people wis defeated. Ery good citizen, without regard to par ty, who believes in fair and hones' elections, ought to take a hand in such contest, and should by pecuni ary aid help to defray the expenses which the candidate necessarily in curs in conducting legal proceed ings. Although this' may involve trouble and expense, it is now a fih for the liberty of every citizen to vote as he pleases and to have hie vote fairly counted and recorded rs be cast it. Elections are depigjtd tv ascertain what persons are desirei by the people as their officers. Iu the recent election a gie&t man qualified voters have been denied th L right to register and vote; ia many oasds other votes have been sub-ti tute in the place of those actually Cait, and in this way false returns have been made of the votes which were handed in and if truly counted would have showa a very different result. In some instances, on the merest quibble and pretext, the re tarns from a precinct. have, been re jeeted on account of "irregularities. '' la some cases no returns were sent up at all, and our vctera at those pre cincts denied the right of suffrage. Where will this thing end? To sub mit to It is to simply ailov the poll holders and registrars to select offi' cera in each county, ad to thwart and nullify th wU of the will of the peoile in their choice tf . ftkfcio. The! exposure of these iraus, aud the ven- tilatiou of them in th c urt houses will do much to prevt-ut their recur rence in the tuture. T nis kind of in veutigation, when the excitement of au election has cooled down and honesty must come to the front, will show that the people are far more J honest than the men who often at- tempt to lead them; and that a ma- chine which is unscrupulous cannot long maintain itself in open defiance and disregard of all rules of decency and honesty. The editor of the News and Ob server has been out west With Mr, Bryan and the National Commitee. Some think litr is "aftt r campaign funds ; feomethat he wants to get a pledgo from Mr. Bryan for- acabU not Dosltion. ThU rominds us that ho got a position under Mr. Cleve- land and could not hold it down. and ho then had more sense and more influence in North Carotin,. politics than he has now, if the hading Domocratlc and religious papers of the State, are to be be lieved. IS TIIK MACHINE OW OEIKX- DENT OX SENATOR BUTLEU'S HELPf One day the Deteocratic national committeemen in this state dtdare In interviews and through his per sonal organ tht the help of Sena? tor Butler is not wanted to carry the state for Bryan and that he would nnt hQ rmur A a Xr t ""F Ueraocratlc stump lor Bryan. Tbe next day this political chameleon through his o gan abuses Senator Butler and chara-ea 'that -i. nnt . v. i . . r Vrv&n. To all of which the Caucasian simply wishes to make two oleerv- ations: first, that first, that Senator Butler will pursue his own course -and do his duty as he has always done. without regard to what any Demo - . " ' I cratic politician says or does not say. S cond, that if Simmons. Daniels & Company want this state to go for Bryan they have the machinery with whicn to steal it for him, no matter how the people vote, by as big a majority as they fctoie the state offices for them selves. The News and Observer, the "nig ger" organ of the State, calls us "John Fake Click, tho assistant ed itor of the Cow-casian." Well, with all the "fakes" and "'cows,!' one thing Is certain, no one can, with any degree of truth, call us a "Buf falo calf." " ' THE NEGRO ALL IUGHT.

Then the News and Ob server eoneludes by saying : "As we understand it, neither Ba!?r nor the Observer is supporting Mr. Bryan jot now." - . - Now, if we are rigntly informed, tbe News-and Observer Is sopporting Hr. Brvan beeause it has to. For in th National Convention on July the 6th the editor of tbe News and Ob server voted against Mr. Bryan' nomination, while Senator Butler, in the Populist Convention labored and worked for his nomination. So takt 'he ease and see who is who and what is wnat. Democrats have been arguing that a candidate for office could not boast of any excellence above the voters who elected him. We sud- poso that Is why our Democratic friends are not boasting of their re cent so-called victory, since, they carried t very negro county and owe! r..l '7 m .r'.r.v wiW ti( increased their vote against thein;:JTnen when men get a thing by the "slight of hand" they never boast of it, until years afterwards. BKLLAMY .JLS1) ,Ult MULATTO -PUOXIEJs. Tbe Wilminarton -Messenger, .says that one J." C. Stanly who had forty I mulatto tenants, has tendered to Mr- Bellamy the nee of these mulattos to help him in a personal encounter with Senator Batler. We suppose that Mr. Stanly made tms tender of his negro tenants with the permis- 8ion of Mr, Bellamy. Now, since Mr. Ballamy has shown the white feath- or and proved that he too cowardlj to meet Senator Batler single hand ed, wo suggest that he might get two of Mr. Stanly's negro tenants, if he can't get any one else as his proxy. Ballamy and the other negro calam- ity howlers, claim that two Demo crats are afraid of one negro; but there is not a single Populist in the State who is afraid of two negroes or two Bellamys eitheir From Democratic sources we learn that the National Democratic and Populist Committees are trying to 'fuse" on Mr. Stevenson as Vice President.

It la quite a change from the interest they took In 1897 to increase the term and otherwise better the public schools. It will tafce more money to better tbe schools and to insure them to do what the Democrats promised, yet so far, they haye made no effort to increase that fund. We hope their real will not die out before some thing is done along this line. NOT SO FAST. Th Washington Post, in a recent editorial, says : ''In future campaigns in North Carolina there will be general acqui escence when Chairman Simmons appoints the siti of the Democratic a a majority. - - m 1 A a m- xne rosi is too taut. ' A majority of 60,000 against the democratic ma chine has been stolen, it is true, but the indignation of the brave, noueat people of the State is so great, that the outlook now is that the majority Ht the next election will be too big tor even bimmons to steal. Do you believe in .the. Ten ..Com mandments? Do you believe in all j of theml Do you . believe in the 8th Commandment which says thou Shalt not steal? If so, what have you to say of the ' Ddmocratic elec tion officials who stole the birth right of thousands of American citizens last week under the dictat t ion of Simmons and hie machine.

Some time ago they reported him as &y ing that tho race issue would not be discussed in the election this fall. But the Raleigh correspondent to the Charlotte Observer on the. 12th inst., reijorts him as saying: "If the Republicans .attempt, to organize and.. .vote the 8u,00J)..ijruor rant negroes whom the constitution al amendment disfranchises, hut who will be entitled to vote iu the .iucujwi ciwuun oeuause me amendment will not ! ea-rf until 1902. this n.r nf enri,,ot w . v tr i v i vv i I will inject the race issue in its I worst form into politics."
