Tikis speech, 'for
illusions, pleasing references
to past relations, cordial fra
to.'nity in a cause towering
ihove the ordinary partisan
jjolitics and for sublime testimon
ia!s to the personal character of
the' speaker was an oratorical
gem oi rare luster.
He said that the man he was
introducing is our present con
grei-sman, our next congress
man and that he himself
did aot care how long he should
be our congressman. He said
he was the man that feasts de
feated opponents on good fat
tuikey goblers. 'Three cheers
for Caldwell were called for and
given with gusot
When Mr. Kluttz arose he was
evidently put to it, with all his
magnificent gifts and oratorical
accomplishments, to give suit
able expression to his recipro
cal esteem.
Having testified to all Mr.
Caldwell said with reference to
the pleasant, dignified joint can
vas's, he launched forth into
his subject, "The constitutional
amend nient."
He. said that this great ques
tion towered above the ordinary
spl ere of politics and yet it is a
pnrstion oi the highest and
rut est cenception of politics,
one in which white men of all
P'. ! i Lical persuasion should unite ,
t) a for the good of all parties
ant the betterment of all races.
As the war of 1775 was not a
war of revolution but for revo
lution so this is not a political
contest of white men but for
white men.
Referring to the charge of
that the Democrats
voting to every white native of
this-country. , ,
Mr. Kluttz, had Mr. Pritch
ard's attention called to the gar
bled copy and the latter ac
knowledged the error.
The speaker stoutly declares
that he' does not believe there
is an intelligent man in the
State who actually believes tha't
the amendment, if passed, will
disfranchise a native white
man. !
It does cut off all foreigners
till they have learned enough of
our institutions to read and write
our language and it is well it
does.
The plea that the poll tax re
quirement would work a hard
ship on Confederate soldiers he
easily showed to be false, for all
are over 50. Hero he eulogized
the Confederate soldiers in terms
so lofty and in sentiments so pa
thetic and tender as to elicit re
peated cheers.
, He showed that it is largely
the negro that makes the list of
insolvent taxpayers, while he
furnishes his full quota, in our
county homes and asylums and
gets equal advantages from the
schools to which the poll taxes
largely go.
There is some harping on the
unconstitutionality of the amend
ment by some who would not
recpgnize the constitution if they
were to tind it in the road. The
great concensus of the North
Carolina bar believes it constitu
tional; the United' States Senate,
though Republican, and appealed
to in the strongest terms by Sen
ators Pritchard, Butler, Chand
ler, and even Hoar, would not
say'itis unconstitutional, and

how long -they would endure
such. There were ominous re
sponses. Ho said the white race had
given the world everything that
contributed largely to man's
well-being and that it had never
been -and never-will be domi
nated.' All the literature, arts, inven
tions and other achievements of
the negro raco Gould be wiped
out and you would not miss'
them, but for 35 years his voting
as he is told demonstrates his
unfitness to vote. Where left
without the restrictions and the
guidance of the white man ho
goes back into the vilest forms
of savagery ag is shown in Hayti
and San Domingo.
The District of Columbia once
had a government by the people
till the negroes flocked in and
corrupted the government to an
unbearable degree, when the
government was taken away
from the people, and, for the
sake of the negro, white men
themselves- are disfranchised.
He said it is wrong, the negro
only should have been disfran
chised. 1
This great reform ho said
would be a stimulus to education
and would be a blessing to the
negro. He would bo no longer
sought in politics and would hot
be imposed upon by designing
men and would unite his inter
ests and his influences with his
white neighbors and his very
best friends.
He appealed strongly to every
white man to do his best for the
